I use a sandisk extreme 45mb/s card with that camera. Can take 6 shots max in burst mode in case that matters before buffer is reached. I don't know of the new 95mb/s cards will offer an advantage with the possible extra 2 shots in burst mode. Might have use with video as well. Faster card might be able to clear the buffer faster but I don't know if the card is the bottleneck or the body. Not that much more expensive than the 45mb/s card. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005VDRCL6/ref=mp_s_a_7?qid=1332013028&sr=8-7

Happy birthday dawg

sorry haj No other doctor in the area you can go to? Surely someone in the area takes your insurance as well. My dad's tooth needed to come out after an accident on an oil tanker he was surveying. He didn't take care of it at the time and by the time he got back to the states, he needed to get it extracted. The regular guy was booked but mom found someone else in the area who was willing to see him on an emergency basis. Nice guy. Took out the tooth right then after doing some X-rays. Maybe it was an exception but it couldn't hurt to look (no pun intended ).

i already tried that one. doesn't work with pdfs or jpegs of scanned data sheets. gives me garbage in a text file.

I've been looking around but haven't been able to find any good freeware for mac. something cheap is ok. don't want to spend too much money. A lot of lab work requires collecting data and doing calculations with it. They don't let us save the data in usable files and we only receive print outs which make working with this stuff very annoying. So far I have been manually entering the data and using excel to do the necessary calculations so somewhat automate the process. It would save me a butt load of time if I could scan the data and have the numbers appear in a text file from where i could copy/paste them into excel. All the machines in the house are now apple laptops and the 10 year old sony is just serving as a print server. Can't handle anything else so looking for something that is mac native or at least compatible with it. Suggestions guys? Thanks.

we are considering going to verizon as well. but do they still not allow the phone to be used while making calls?

back to reality. time of my life. but sad that it ended so soon.

7am flight today delayed. Flight from yesterday rescheduled for 12 today. Let's try this again.

Happy birthday sir

It's direct airways. They don't answer the phone. Ever. The pilot who was supposed to fly us to ny said there might not even be a flight tomorrow. The scheduled flight at 7am is fully booked.

Great news. We were told the flight was going to be here at 9 pm. Announcement at 9:20 pm stated due to severe weather in ny (1 inch of rain according to every god damn fucking weather website) te flight was cancelled with no clue as to when the next flight will be. No refunds are given since weather was cited as a reason. This was supposed to be my last vacation in a very very long time - at least a year bc of upcoming mcat prep and applications and what not. She was looking forward to it so much (as was I) but its not fucking fair. Not fair at all. They just closed the counter and left. Do I have any leg to stand on in terms of a refund? I can't afford to pay for another flight that leaves tomorrow with another airline unless I can get a refund with this one. Are the airlines completely off the hook if they site weather as a reason for cancelling the flight? As Vicki said its hot as hell down here. An inch of rain up north. Now I'm fucking pissed.

gf struck down all attempts of fun at the airport so I'm stuck with the interwebz. ;( we both had a laugh at john's comment. grahame she called you a genius (for saying something she came up with a few minutes ago). i am feeling slightly better.

update from the most annoying fucking place on earth. flight that was supposed to leave at 3 is now leaving at 9:45pm. this means we can't get a rental car in the airport so no trip to niagara falls on the lakes blaaaaaaaah. fucking fog.

Snow boots are not where I thought they were. Haven't used them since I left mass. Leaving in an hour with cold cold rain when we land tonight frozen toes will not be fun. Oh well. Off to foreign lands to see water fall from a high ledge.

Happy birthday sir

Focus screen it is. The lens is a 35 1.4 ari. The sigma went back to the seller bc the back focusing issues were absurdly bad.

i just got the rokinon lens in the mail and the focus confirmation light is going off when the subject is not actually in focus. the rokinon lenses are notorious for being incorrectly calibrated. how does one go about fixing this? or is it something that can be dealt with in the camera? the af micro adjustment only really works on af lenses. would a nikon service center be able to look at the combo and offer a solution? i had issues with the sigma lens back focusing also but it turned out to be the lenses fault. this lens also seems to have an issue with the focus. could something be off with the body?

if you are looking for reliability go for at least a t series. i don't know of anything more reliable in the pc world. x series if it needs to be portable but I'm guessing if its on one of those cart things that you can wheel the projector around with, the weight doesn't really matter. bigger screen might make it easier for teacher. so 15" t series?

Shelly that desk is waaaaaay too clean to be a Mathematicians desk. Where is all the paper with rejected proof ideas... Just to end things, the dean asked the director to grade me only on the things i answered which i didn't like because i tried to answer all the questions i could instead of answering a few completely. Then a second exam was suggested which the director didn't like obviously. The dean offered to give me an oral exam so she didn't have to do the extra work. I instantly agreed. The director bitched about it but then agreed. I answered all questions to his satisfaction (and to her annoyance). Walked out of his office with an A. Also had an organic chemistry lecture exam this morning which i kicked ass on. 3 more tests, 2 lab reports and a take home quiz due by Thursday. Friday, 3pm, flight to niagara falls with a pretty girl at my arm.

just saw someone on campus walking around with a d3s and a 14-24. spoke with him for a bit. played with the camera for a few minutes. the thing is a fucking tank. makes the d7000 look reasonable and the nex 5 a baby.

Happy bday sir

the funniest part is that her excuse for being such a pain the ass is that the rigor we are put through now is going to prepare us for research later on. research where you can't talk to the person standing next to you, can only use a particular kind of scientific calculator, must NOT use a computer, must write ONLY in black ballpoint pen in special notebooks that have the professors name on them. i lost 12 points out of 50 for running out of tape in the middle of the lab and not being able to borrow some from my neighbor and as a result not being able to tape in the 6 print outs from lab analysis into the notebook. -1 for each of the 6 pages not taped in and -1 for all the references made to the crap that wasn't taped in. the very last lab before the midterm, i was docked 10.5 out of 50 for not using "enough tape" and making flipping pages tedious for the ta. I've done a wee bit of research, albeit not in a lab setting, but never have i heard or come across such draconian and arbitrary bullshit. you grown up people that have jobs and stuff - do you have to face such crap?
