Stay well and post some photos. I will do my best to find some stick wood. Parkinson's can be slow to cause problems. Can also come on fast. One thing for sure, best to be tough as we age. I took my first underwater photo today with the TG-4. was amazed. Can't wait to use it on white sand bottomed Suwannee River. That place is heaven to snorkel in. Says to check 2 trap doors on camera to make sure no foreign objects are in the seals allowing a leak. Dragon fly nymph, 8 inches of water. Camera 6 inches away. Gave me the creeps submersing the camera.  |

That Olympus takes crazy detailed photos, wonderful shots of crazy lace, love the fire agate the most. Shipped camera today Adam. I only used it one trip to Florida. Very low hours. Again, could not find charging cord. works fine. It is super tiny. I think I had trouble with focus under certain conditions(hunting on wet objects). Made no effort to fool with settings. |

Stacked focus on a damselfly perched on parrot's feather. Parrot's feather spreads quick when cut up. see roots along full stem length. Note one of the stacks made a ghost image of damselfly tail end, folly of not using a tripod. Deep focus on plant is certainly a product of stacked focus as camera was very close to subject. Bet tripod will make some scary clear stack macros.  |

Thanks for everything. Oh, about my Parkinson, I saw it coming a couple of years ago when I would over do the caffeine. Now it kind of comes and goes but is always there a little. I have been doing some design painting on a couple of canes and I can hold a smooth line most of the time if I can rest my hand on something. Knee seems to work best but I have to do a lot of flipping the cane around. I will have it finished soon and will post photos. Totally off the wall. Jim Ever look in to supplementing with phenylalanine? This amino acid is a precursor for dopamine and is one of the things shown to help with Parkinson's. You can find it at any health food store. It needs to be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals since amino acids compete for absorption. It does take several weeks to build up and kick in. There are things you can do for your back as well such as silica supplementation as orthosilcic acid. This helps strengthen and build bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, etc. Also has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. Gelatin and vitamin C sources (preferably natural sources) also help. The gelatin is a source of amino acids for building collagen and elastin and vitamin C works with the orthosilicic acid to form collagen and elastin, which give strength and elasticity to tissues. |

Nice underwater photo. I'm sure I'd have a mini freak out submersing a new camera also. Goes against everything we know.

Thanks vegasjames. I am on some new drug (VA had to order it) for my restless legs and it is supposed to help with the Parkinsons shake. They are kind of one in the same and they have restless legs in the Parkinsons category of crap you really do not want to have to deal with. I have not talked to my brother for 30+ years but my niece told me that his head and hands are shaking so bad he can not do anything (just deserts) and he is only two years older than me so I am hoping the stuff I got is going to help some. The VA is taking pretty good care of me so I am pretty sure they will keep me up to date on the the best course of action. The new med has to be good, it has 26 letters in the name.  I am cautious about something else kicking up the dopamine because that is what this stuff does, at least part of it anyway. I will take your advice on the back though. I am off and on with it but I eat jello with fruit quite regular. Can I help my silica by eating the throw back rocks or the rock snot from my son's tumbling? jamesp You have sold me on that camera and I gotta have one. I seldom buy things I do not need so when I get the new one I will have to break the old one so I will really need the new one. Gunna be checking out the refurbished areas on the net. I will be using the SLR again when the cards arrive (thank you) because it is easy to use on manual and I still like looking through a view finder instead of trying to block the sun enough to see a screen. Some shots I have to just shoot all over the place so I can be sure I got what I wanted a photo of because I could not see the screen Jim |

Can I help my silica by eating the throw back rocks or the rock snot from my son's tumbling? The best way is to use food grade diatomaceous earth in water. The reason is that the conversion of silica to orthosilicic acid is poor and the absorption is poor. If taking silica supplements the amount you actually absorb is therefore poor. So if a person is taking the supplement a few times a day and only a fraction gets absorbed then you get very little over all. By using the DE water as a regular drinking water source though you will absorb a tiny amount of the orthosilicic acid each time you drink some water and if you drink water regularly throughout the day, which you should, this will increase your over all absorption of the silica.

Parkinson's has been linked to low dopamine levels. Restless leg syndrome is primarily from an imbalance between calcium and magnesium (too much calcium, insufficient magnesium). Calcium is a muscle contractor and magnesium a muscle relaxant. For example, if you want to bend your arm inward the muscles that need to contract to allow this have an influx of calcium to contract them while the opposing muscles have an influx of magnesium to relax them. When you need to extend your arm back out the muscles that were previously contracted by the calcium have calcium exiting the muscles while magnesium moves in to relax the muscles. And the muscles relaxed by the magnesium are now contracted by the loss of magnesium and the influx of muscle contracting calcium. This is the same reason calcium channel blockers are used to lower blood pressure. Since the calcium contracts muscles, which is what blood vessels are composed of (smooth muscle) the blocking of calcium in the nerve synapse relaxes the blood vessels by preventing calcium contraction of the muscle thus lowering blood pressure. And when a person dies rigormortis sets in for a short time. The rigomortis is the result of an influx of calcium in to the muscle tissue causing the muscles to go in to a strongly contracted state. Since there is no longer an exchange between the calcium and the magnesium the rigor remains until enzymatic activity breaks the muscle tissue down. Back to restless leg syndrome. If calcium levels are high, which can happen for various reasons such a parathyroid nodules, high phosphorus intake, high vitamin D levels, low silica levels, caffeine use etc. then this leads to problems such as muscle cramps/spasms, mental fogginess, constipation, increased risk of gallstones, etc. By the way I just mentioned caffeine which reminds me to let you know NEVER ingest any medications with coffee or black, green or oolong teas. The tannins in these will bind the medications rendering them useless to the body. This is why we use coffee grounds to mix old medications in to so they are bound and cannot be utilized by anyone. |

wampidytooAlexander Hamilton's right eye - $20 bill Holly molly bat man that is a way cool eye photo. I will set up my camera on a tripod and try the same photo to see how the old and new cameras compare. Is your photo size 800 X 600? I resize my photos to 640 X 480 so they send fast but they do not fill the screen like yours. Jim |

2100 X 1700 Jim. After ~50% crop. Taken with 8M setting, not 3M or 16M. If that photo was not hand held it would be clearer.
Go with: Tripod-16M setting-turn off stabilizer and it could be cropped much more and be sharper.
Stabilizer can actually vibrate camera slightly if you want to gt real picky.
Camera 1cm from subject, desk lamp shinning in almost perpendicular to line of taking causing shadow marks at elevated ink lines(cropped out).
That photo taken quick under sloppy conditions.
Measured, 38X magnification on 14 inch across diagonal screen. That's smokin

I have noticed that sometimes I will go into a trance like or nodding off state when sitting here at the computer. According to the paperwork that comes with the med this side effect can last for two years after I quit taking the damn stuff. Jim I have been in medicine nearly 38 years and do a lo of teaching on holistic therapies for diseases. So I have o keep up on research especially from the medical journals on diseases. The alkaloid quinine can be use to relieve restless leg syndrome as well since it relaxes the muscles and improves circulation. But it comes with too many risks and contradictions. For example it is contradicted in cases of liver kidney and heart disease and can interact with many medications. It can also cause hearing or vision loss, bleeding disorders, erectile dysfunction, heart arrhythmias, etc. Allergies can also be formed to quinine. Magnesium malate or citrate are much safer and more effective choices. These forms of magnesium are my choices, not magnesium oxide. Malate and citrate are well absorbed and are more effective in increasing cellular ATP to fuel cells and aid in their proper function. The main side effect of to much magnesium is diarrhea. And since it works as a natural calcium channel blocker it is best taken away from calcium sources in this case. Allergies are easy to eliminate. These are the result of adrenal dysfunction. This leads to a decline in output of antihistamine and antileukotriene epinephrine (adrenaline) and immune modulating and anti-inflammatory corticosteroids. Same reason the drugs given by doctors to treat allergies and asthma either are epinephrine or steroids, are similar acting drugs to epinephrine (increase cyclic adenosine monophosphate) or are cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase inhibitors (cAMPPDEIs). The cAMPPDEIs work by blocking the enzyme cAMP phosphodiesterase that normally breaks down cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). Since cAMP counters histamine and leukeotrienes it helps prevent allergic responses. This is why we all exposed to the allergens but not everyone has allergies. If the adrenal glands are functioning properly then there is sufficient levels of epinephrine release to counter histamine and leukotriene production and the corticosteroids needed to regulate the immune response. Also the reason children can outgrow their allergies and why allergies can come and go anytime throughout life. Some children are born with allergies or asthma because the adrenal glands have not matured enough to produce sufficient levels of epinephrine and corticosteroids. If they are not put on medications that atrophy the adrenals such as steroids and the adrenals are allowed to mature the children will normally outgrow these conditions around the age of 5. That is what happened in my case. I was allergic to mother's milk and cow's milk and so was actually given soy milk until I outgrew my allergies around the age of 5. I have never had any problems with allergies since. To get rid of allergies I recommend increasing your intake of vitamin C sources and pantothenic acid sources and supplementing with adaptogenic herbs. Vitamin C is the most important nutrient for the adrenals and the adrenals get priority over the entire rest of the body. This is why smokers and meth users "age" faster. Stimulants tax the adrenals increasing the need for vitamin C. Since the adrenals get priority there is less vitamin C going to collagen and elastin formation leading to wrinkles and and in severe cases loss of bone leading to things like tooth loss in meth addicts. Natural sources are best as they tend to be more stable and more effective than synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) An exception is camu camu, which is also very unstable. The natural sources also contain the synergistic bioflavonoids. Pantothenic acid (B5) is the second most essential nutrient to the adrenal glands. The use of pollen or honey for treating allergies is due to the fact that pollen is the highest herbal source of pantothenic acid. And of course honey is bee vomit made from pollen. It is not from desensitization as is often claimed and does not require local honey or pollen. Just raw. And again avoiding caffeine will also help since regualr use also crashes the adrenals. Ironically a strong cup of coffee is an old time remedy to stop an asthma attack. This is because the caffeine, theophylline and theobromine are cAMPPDEIs. IN fact, theophylline is still sometimes used today in hospitals to control asthma. If coffee is ingested regularly though this has the opposite effect though as this decreases epinephrine output needed to create cAMP in the first place. Another thing that can help is the extract trimethylglycine (TMG), derived from beet leaves. TMG is a great methyl donor being 3 times stronger than the body's own methyl donor SAMe. Methyl donors provide methyl groups for methylation needed for about 4,000 processes in the body including neurotransmitter formation, histamine regulation, hormone production and balance, lowering homocysteine that reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease, immune system regulation, stomach acid production, water balance, etc. You can find TMG in some health food stores or online. It is virtually impossible to OD on and therefore is quite safe. As for lactose intolerance this can be treated by increasing the intestinal flora. The levels of lactase produced by our intestinal enterocyte cells will decrease very early in life, but that is not the only source of lactase. Our intestinal flora also generate lactase. Intestinal infection and inflammation, often associated with lactose intolerance in adults, are associated with low flora levels. The flora help prevent intestinal infection and inflammation by controlling pathogens through the production of bactercides and peroxides and by competing for space and food with the pathogens. The best way to increase flora is with cultured foods such as kefirs, home made yogurt (most store bought yogurt is worthless), freshly cultured vegetables like sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, etc. Increasing fiber intake also helps as the flora also release cellulase and hemicellulase to break down cellulose and hemicellulose in to individual glucose units as a food source. My favorites are rice or oat bran. Vegetable gums such as konjac (glucomannan), guar, xanthan, etc are also good as are inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS). |

Has water proof doors all over it for internals with latch and separate lock, ingenious. f2.0, fast layered focus not sure, but insane frames per second(burst) James, What was the last camera you bought that you were so excited about, Casio?

jamesp , I am only looking for something on the lines of that Olympus for smaller size and easier to take along . Just something for a quick pic or two . If I set out on a waterfall adventure or outing like that , I have a DSLR I take with .
