- The only realy I wouldn't use anything beside Nikon and Canon is the choice of lens -- nm - Guigue Oct 27, 15:01 1
  - I've always been a nikon guy, and have two kodak slr/n's but last month i did something weird, I bought a whole mamiya RB 67 kit with 3 lenses for 500 -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 15:06
- That seems pretty great. I was happy enough with my Pentax k2000 I just got for $500. Though it came with an 200mm lens as well. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 27, 14:49
Poll: Yes or no - Do you believe happiness is a choice (generally speaking)? - Andie Oct 27, 14:32 43

- Generally yes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 15:13
- [deleted]
- Yes. -- nm - lileve Oct 27, 14:49

- To some degree, but there are outside influences and I think some people are wired in ways that makes it more difficult for them (and I don't just - pmb Oct 27, 14:44
- partially. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:42
- Well, it's certainly helpful to look at things that way, isn't it? My answer is: I agree with Roger More. -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 14:41
- Well, I think it's possible for some amount of happiness to result from some conscience choices. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:38 3
  - Um, conscious, that is. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:42
  - If you're unhappy and you know it, have some sex. Clap, clap, clap. - David Oct 27, 14:40 1
    - Sure, but I'll pass on the clap. -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 14:48
- I think many people are happier/unhappier than others because they choose to be. There is something to state of mind. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:36
- Speaking generally, no. There are things you can do and choices you can make that generate happiness, but at the end of the day it's all a bunch of - Roger More Oct 27, 14:36 16
  - The question is can you influence the chemicals. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:43 15
    - Sure - but people who are already unhappy don't always make good decisions -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 14:49 2
      - That's beside the point. It's also beside the point whether or not they're *able* to make certain decisions. The point is that if they *could*, those - mara Oct 27, 14:51 1
        
        In my earlier post, sure = "sure, they can influence the chemicals". And it can have either a positive or a negative impact. -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 14:54
    - This is the trade of therapists. Usually, drugs are involved. -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 14:45
    - i don't believe it's all chemical. i've known people to sit at home for weeks wallowing, and then when absolutely *forced* to get out and do some- - Andie Oct 27, 14:45 10

      - Did you read the article about walking being as effective as drugs in treating depression? -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:48 7
        
        so I've got exercise more? awww, man... -- nm - Max, walking into traffic Oct 27, 14:51 5
        
        It's the easiest and cheapest way to improve mental and physical health, and almost nobody does it. We're so irrational. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:52 4
        
        I get depressed just thinking about it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 14:57 2
        
        I do too! -- nm - mara Oct 27, 14:58 1
        
        aww, man... -- nm - Max Oct 27, 15:28
        
        We are, aren't we? aww, man... -- nm - Max Oct 27, 14:54
        
        no, but that doesn't surprise me. -- nm - Andie Oct 27, 14:50
      - Physical activity affects the brain chemicals - it's part of treatment for mild depression because of this. -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 14:48
- Extreme is relative. There are a lot of circumstances where the stress can overwhelm any attempt to force oneself into being happy. - Max Oct 27, 14:35
- no, its primarily a characteristic of your ah character to be basically happy -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 14:34
- yes -- nm - Jovian Oct 27, 14:33 1
  - I concur with the Jovian, ceteris paribus. -- nm - Loyola Oct 27, 14:37
- in the sence it's a matter of expectations and attitude yes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 27, 14:33
- my answer is *mostly*, but not entirely. -- nm - Andie Oct 27, 14:33 5
  - This is my answer too. You can modify your perspective on things, but of course there are chemical imbalances and things outside your control. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 27, 14:46
  - if that's a choice, it's mine, too. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 27, 14:34
  - I thought this was a yes or no poll?! -- nm - Loyola Oct 27, 14:34 2
    - my poll, my perogative to be slightly ambivalent. -- nm - Andie Oct 27, 14:35 1
      - This is making me sad -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 14:38
! NPR did a story about online privacy concerns, to which a listener pointed out that the story was posted on the NPR website, - Max Oct 27, 14:30 1
- doubleclick has this disclaimer on their opt=out page (which doesn't work) that says they will not target ads to you based on your sexual or religious - zeitgeist Oct 27, 14:36
gah! 39 errors in the report I'm putting together. - znufrii Oct 27, 14:27
continuing this theme. What team is best and worst in 3rd down conversions? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:26 8
- I actually know both of these, so I'll leave it to ML or someone else. I will say that Atlanta is second from the bottom, which is why... - David Oct 27, 14:30 7
  - atlanta has a 44.6% third down conversion rate, which is 7th (I mean offensive stuff, not defensive). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:41 2
    - Offensively, I'm surprised Miami is at thet op over Indy (since Manning is completing 3/4 of his passes). KC's conversion rate is kind of scary. - David Oct 27, 14:44 1
      - yeah. but dont blame larry johnson. I meant, any rb might be knocked over by a stiff breeze. - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:46
  - (Defensively, that is.) -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:33 3
    - you are correct for defensive side. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:42 2
      - What's shocking here is that Pittsburgh, Indy, SD and Atlanta are all so close to the bottom. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:46 1
        
        yeah, I might have guessed 3 of the top 10 - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:48
Finally, who leads the NFL in TD receptions in 2009? -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:23 7
- Been feast or famine with WRs this year -- nm - budice Oct 27, 14:33
- the leader -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 27, 14:24
- vernon davis -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:24 4
  - I did not think anyone would get that. I was stunned when I noticed. Visanthe Shiancoe and Owen Daniels are tied for second at 5. - David Oct 27, 14:25 3
    - Daniels is so underrated... only 8 WRs have more fantasy points -- nm - stewie Oct 27, 14:32
    - I have him as my fantasy team backup, so I know. - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:26

I've got two more. First: which teams are first and worst in the NFL in takeaways thus far? -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:15 14
- best philly. worst ten -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:19 2
  - Philly is correct at +11. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:22
  - ten=titans (and their state). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:20
- [deleted] 8
  - Minnesota is tied for 6th at +7. Oakland is tied for 30/31st at -10. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:17 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - Yup, you figured it out. Carolina is at -14, four worse than anyone else. Delhomme by himself is -15 (13 INTs and 2 fumbles). -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:21 5
        
        I thought the question is the best at takeaways and the worst at takeaways, not the worst at giving up takeways. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:21 4
        
        It's differential (overall +/-). -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:23 3
        
        hmm, just saying, that isnt what the question says to me. - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:23 2
        
        Direct all complaints to Musubi. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:26 1
        
        That's some good general advice right there -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 14:33
- worst - rams. first - saints. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:15 1
  - Rams are tied for 26th at -7. NO is 4th at +8. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:16
ceregon, what are you looking to do? I have schools in CA that might be able to help you. -- nm - amanda Oct 27, 14:14 2
- I'm looking into my college forming a partnership with some trade programs. - ceregon Oct 27, 14:18 1
  - you can email me at whatmary at gmail dot com and tell me what city you're in. I'll try to get you some data. - amanda Oct 27, 14:20
No cheating, would be-cheaters NFL trivia: Which QB leads the league in the all-important yards per attempt stat? -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:10 9
- rothlisberger -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:11 2
  - rodgers then. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 14:13 1
    - This is correct. Rodgers is the only QB in the NFL over 9. He's at 9.25. BR is at 8.85. Peyton is 8.74 and Brees is 8.62. -- nm - David Oct 27, 14:14
