Hello everyone! My name is Kathleen and I am excited to be a part of this forum. My family is loved by 2 pups - Porter and Maddie.
We rescued Porter, a GSD/Chow mix in 2005 when he was about 3 months old. His whole litter had been left on the road in a cardboard box. He is a very smart 50 pound ball of love with a heart of gold. He is ever watchful of our 2 kids and gentle as can be. We thought of him as a GSD stuck in a Chow's body. We thought we knew it all about the GSD breed from having him, then came Maddie...
Maddie is also a rescue. We spent about 6 months looking and applying for Shepherds through rescues. When we found one listed as good with kids, cats and dogs they either went before I could get an app in, were at a rescue that did not adopt to families with kids under the age of 5, or had some other weird stipulation. Although the volunteers were always helpful and kind, those were some stressful months. Then one night PetFinder popped up a pic of this girl. She immediately melted my heart. So we made the 2 hour drive to the Humane Society of Crawford County, and she joined our family this past June. She is a ball of fire and energy with a heart as loyal as they come, and I'm certain out vet will become rich off of us (spay at 10 months, mysterious shoulder impalement at 12 months, a tweaked shoulder 2 weeks ago... True Shepherd! Lol). We have done no training besides obedience, yet we can tell she would protect us from anything. Her favorite past times are anything that does not involve laying down, unless it is snuggling with us.
If I had to pick my favorite part about her, I would say it is her "fountain of youth" capability. She has turned my little old man in to a puppy again. They run, play and chase each other, the kids, and the poor woodland creatures all over our 3 acre property. I swear their motto is "no deer is too big, no squirrel is too small".
Thank you for taking the time to read about us, and we look forward to talking to you! I hope you enjoy their pics. :-)
1) The PetFinder pic that stole my heart - Maddie at 9 months
2) This was the first night we had her. She is patiently waiting for my 10 month old to throw her ball. He would rather chew on it...
3) Porter, Maddie and my then 4 year old daughter playing in the yard.
4) Maddie snuggling with my daughter
5) Maddie and Porter waiting patiently for their treats.

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:24 (ESV)
Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life," says Billy Graham, known by many as Gods Ambassador. "I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way."
In Nearing Home this man of faithnow in his ninetiesexplores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice," says the author. "Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ."
Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.
"Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from Gods point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day."

DKnb25 Stars Out Of 5Nearing HomeJanuary 5, 2017DKnb2Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I ordered 3 copies of Billy Grahams latest book, Nearing Home - one for myself and two as gifts. I am halfway through reading my copy and am glad I gave the 2 as gifts. It's easy reading but with the wisdom that only Mr. Graham can impart in such a simple manner, without being preachy. Straight from the heart of one who has walked with the Lord longer than most of us, he shares what it is like to get older and not be able to do all that we want to, but he is the ultimate encourager to stand strong... It's an excellent book! I Highly recommend it.

At 80 years, is my life essentially downsized in all respects, or can it be UPsized for Christ? It has been very heartwarming to read Rev. Graham's personal account of how he has been dealing with the same issues. Age is a great equalizer, and it was a surprise to find very human emotions in a man who has been such a role model for us all. Throughout my reading, I have had the warm sensation of sitting at this blessed Christian's side as he shared the gems of life with me personally.

What's better then reading a recipe about Bacon Caramels? Reading a recipe about Bacon Caramels that also shares a life lesson. Ashley the blogger behind the food blog "Not without Salt†recently sheared with the Bacon Nation her recipe for the sweet and savory.
If you haven't heard of "Not without Salt†that's a shame (don't worry I didn't know about either) because she blissfully mixes a personal blog, food blog, and photography blog into one master work. She is able to work a personal story in to almost every recipe. Now usually I am not in to the person blog thing, but if its sneaked in while I am reading about a recipe I guess I don't mind.
Here is how Ashley describes it in her own words:
I happily share my passion for all things salted; sweet and savory, in hope that you too will find pleasure, joy and sustenance in good food. Your kitchen is a place to be creative and productive. Meals are meant to be savored and enjoyed. Good food is simple, fresh, seasonal and delicious. Not Without Salt is a tool for helping you eat well and enjoy the process of cooking and baking real, good food.
So if you looking for another food blog that has great photos, stories, and enjoys bacon, check out Not without Salt. I already added it to my feed reader and I can't wait to see what she does with bacon next.

Yuri Foreman on E:60
ESPN's award-winning primetime newsmagazine E:60 will tell the unusual story of world champion Yuri Foreman in the episode airing Tuesday at 7PM ET. It's an old story, kind of. A penniless immigrant finds his way to America, wins fame and fortune in the boxing ring and marries a model. But as E:60's Jeremy Schaap reports, this is a story with a twist. Foreman isn't the typical immigrant boxer. He's a Belarusian Jew and is studying to be an orthodox rabbi. After Foreman won the WBA super welterweight title last November, dethroning the heavily favored defending champion Daniel Santos, he said his faith, as much as his fists, was the determining factor.
"I believe that, looking back, I needed to find Judaism in order to become a world champion," Foreman said.
Foreman was born in Gomel, Belarus, then in the Soviet Union, and began cultivating his boxing skills at age 7. His family immigrated to Israel when he was 10. Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Haifa, Foreman believed boxing was his only way out of poverty. In 1999, he moved to Brooklyn to pursue his dream of becoming a professional boxer. There, he met a local rabbi who pushed him to make a deeper connection with his religion. Three years ago, Foreman began classes to become a rabbi.
Undefeated in 28 fights, Foreman says his Jewish studies make him more focused in the ring. He defends his title against Miguel Cotto on June 5 at Yankee Stadium.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We summarize the scores and analyses of multi-purpose zoom lenses in this second part of our review of the best lenses for the Nikon D5. More versatile than primes, zoom lenses are often a more convenient choice for shooting in fast-paced environments when you don't always have time to switch lenses. Although primes generally deliver better image quality, with noticeably improved edge sharpness and transmission, zoom performance has steadily improved, and now some come close to rivalling the performance of a prime.
The Nikon D750 is an affordable 24.3Mp full-frame DSLR with attractive-looking specs for both the enthusiast and the professional photographer. It's capable of producing outstanding pictures, but the quality of the lens used has a bearing on image quality. We've analyzed the performance of 105 lenses on the Nikon D750, and in part one we bring you an analysis of the top three zoom lenses in six different categories.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities.
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs.
We've tested the new 24-Mpix Nikon D3300 with more than 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses have the best image quality when paired with the new camera.
Sigma are well known for their accessibly priced models and at just under $1,100 the 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO seems like a promising alternative to the premium offerings from the camera makers. Although one of the older models in the firm's range now, does it still have what it needs to compete with more modern rivals?
Following the lens recommendations for Nikon D7100 and entry-level D3200, we've now turned our attention to the new mid-range D5300. We've tested the camera with more than 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses have the best image quality when paired with the new camera.
We've now had the opportunity to assess the entry-level 24-Mpix Nikon D3200 with a wide range of lenses. We've analyzed a total of over 140 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality, and to discover which of those models perform best on the camera. Read on to find out the models you should be looking to use and which ones you should try to avoid.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read on to find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera.

80 - 400mm + 1.4 Teleconverter
Having used this lens on a D610 with and without the version 3 1.4 converter from Nikon it is incredibly sharp with a lack of aberration and fringing throughout the zoom range. The biggest problem I encountered was from putting a protective filter on the front of the lens which caused severe ghosting and lateral fringing at 400mm as soon as I removed the filter all the images are clean, I have now removed all filters from my other lenses which has resulted in a noticeable improvement in the photo's taken on the D610. Using the hood which comes with your lens is protection enough.
The problem I have found photographing wildlife with this lens and teleconverter is movement, at 550mm you really need to use a mono pod or tripod because of the drop in light and speed on the camera. Dropping the camera down to DX mode gives you 825mm and on a bright sunny day you can get some respectable photo's with a very small softening of the image. This is a very versatile lens and is sharp where it counts... through the centre of the image. When you consider the price of a 500mm or 600mm lens the 80 to 400mm with the new teleconverter is very respectable alternative.

Super tele test
We are waiting to compare the AFS 80-400 performance against the new super-teles, like nikkor 200-500, sigma 150-600 (sport and Cont.) and Tamron 150-600 for nilon mount.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400 f4.5-5.6G ED VR
I am surprised that this lens got a DxOMark score of 22 and a sharpness of only 14 P-Mpix with the Nikon D800 (36 Mpix), but got a DxOMark score of 21 (lower and expected) and a sharpness of 15 P-Mpix (higher, but not expected) with the Nikon D610 (24 Mpix) when all the other lens metric scores were the same. Could you explain?

D800 score vs D7100 with this lens (Nikkor AFS 80-400 DX)

This a comment for this page on the website
D7100 has a smaller pixel pitch compared to a D800 and the sharpness of the lens is implied as 9 Mpix. The D800's score is an implied 14 Mpix.
Why would a sensor with smaller pixel pitch that uses only the sharpest portion of the full frame image have an implied sharpness value less than a sensor with a larger pixel pitch?
Shouldn't the 24 Mpix D7100 show a sharper score than the 36 Mpix D800 because the pixel pitch is small and thus more pixels are on target with similar framing?
I'm struggling with this lens and want to know if it's my camera, my copy of this lens, my ability, or if I should move to full frame for sharper images.
I just can't get very sharp images with this lens and the D7100....even after AF Fine Tune.
Any information on the DX test procedure that result in a 9Mpix sharpness score for the D7100 vs a 14 Mpix sharpness score on the D800 would be greatly appreciated.

Re: D800 score vs D7100 with this lens (Nikkor AFS 80-400 DX)
Hi kconfer,
Thanks for posting your question on this forum.
Please keep in mind that we do not take into account pixel pitch or image sensor size when we normalize our data. The only important matter is the number of pixels on your final images.
In the end, two criteria explain the difference between the D800 and D7100:
- pixel count difference: 36 Mpix on the D800 and 24 MPix on the D7100.
- lens limitation: the 80-400mm is not sharp enough to take the full advantage of the D7100 very small pixel pitch.
Hope this will help you.
Best regards.

Re: D800 score vs D7100 with this lens (Nikkor AFS 80-400 DX)
When you test both sensors do you maintain the distance to the subject or do you adjust distance to fill the frame. For example would you move closer with a full frame sensor vs a crop sensor with the same lens.
Added by Sophie - DxOMark | October 05 , 2014
Re: D800 score vs D7100 with this lens (Nikkor AFS 80-400 DX)
Thank you for interest in DxOMark. While performing sensor tests, the same distance is used: 40x the focal distance. Chart always frames the field of view.

New Nikon 80-400mm F4.5-5.6
I am disappointed in the refresh of this lens. Nikon doubled the price of the old lens. But the biggest issue I have is that if you want add a @x teleconverter you will be at F11 and no camera body is going to give you autofocus at this aperture. I prefer the Nikon F4 lens which allow me to have autofocus at least with the D600 and D800 bodies as well likely as future Nikon body releases. The 300/4 and 70-200/f lens give more flexibility that the new 80-400mm.

Re: New Nikon 80-400mm F4.5-5.6
I use this lens just fine with the 1.4x TC-14E. Fast focusing, adds only 1 stop which at the long end is f8, not f11. I have even used the 1.7, which surprislingly worked better than expected. My use has been both on the D800 and the D7100. I have not tried with my TC-20E, but that is not the purpose of this lens. Looking at the price of the 70-200 f4 and 300 f4, it is pretty much a wash money wise. Use the lens on a D7100 where you can also use 1.3 crop mode for a 2x FOV factor and I would argue that this is a more flexible option than the pair of f4 lenses.

Re: New Nikon 80-400mm F4.5-5.6
What made you expect anything different? Obviously the refresh of the 80-400 4.5-5.6 is going to have a similar aperture range. Otherwise it'd be a whole new lens. And if it were constant f4, it'd be more like a super-successor to the 200-400, which is in a completely different league altogether (at least in terms of price and weight). I'll concede the new price is hard to stomach, but it's still many thousands of dollars less than the next & last tier, of the 200-400 and the super-telephoto primes.
In any case, the quality with the 2x teleconverter is going to be marginal. The new 80-400 is impressive at 400 even wide open, but it's not working miracles. The 1.4x or maybe 1.7x are much better options (and this is true in use on almost all lenses) w.r.t. balancing reach with image quality.
FWIW, I've used the 1.4x myself on this lens and there's no obvious image quality degradation (or autofocus impact). Though I haven't pixel-peeped.

Glad to see this tested finally
I've been using the 80-400 for a couple of months now and am very happy with it. I've favoured it in practice over the 70-200/2.8 VR II when light allows (I haven't tried the 70-200/4). Not always sure why, though at least sometimes it's because of the extra reach and narrower depth of field (200/2.8 vs 400/5.6).
Good to see it compared against Sigmas, since they have quite a few big zooms at value price points. It'd be interesting to see a comparison against the 50-500 and 150-500 too, as they're popular alternatives to the 80-400.
I caution that the 300/4 isn't an equivalent alternative, though. In my experience the 300/4 is a pretty sharp lens - certainly better than your low-end zooms like the 55-300, but it's not as sharp as the 80-400 and has a lot more distortion (plus the lack of really useful features like instant manual focus override and the ability to zoom). Fingers crossed it gets a refresh soon, though - could be amazing.
It seems evident, however, that your chromatic aberration test is only evaluating lateral chromatic aberration. The 80-400 is indeed awesome in this regard. But it does have a sadly large amount of axial chromatic aberration. I don't know if it's better or worse than similar super-zooms or high-telephoto primes - which is why it'd be great if you'd consider testing for that in future. :)

Thanks for the review but ...
You say that maybe the 70-200 plus the 300 F4 might be a better combination but what do you know that we don't? ;-)
The 300 F4 has not officially been tested by DXO and thus isn't there to compare.
Would be nice if you added this popular, affordable lens to your database.

Re: Thanks for the review but ...

Re: Thanks for the review but ...
At $2,700 this 80-400 mm AF-S VR is a significant outlay.
Up until two weeks ago, I owned the 300 f4 AF-S and TC-14E II and was extremely pleased with that combination for photographing the little one ounce birdies at 50 meters or better.
Sadly, my Father's Day present was to have my entire "kit" stolen, which included this 300 f4 AF-S and the TC-14E II teleconverter.
I'm looking for a replacement for the 300 f4 AF-S plus TC-14E II teleconverter combo, but I can't make that determination until DXOMark actually tests the 300 f4 AF-S.
The Nikon 300 f4 AF-s is still available new so I can't imagine why DXOMark hasn't tested it yet?
It also seems a thousand dollar less alternative to this new 80-400mm VR lens and might offer better reach (420 mm with 1.4 X teleconverter) and higher resolving power?
I can't imagine....but is there conspiracy at play here? Does DXOMark receive something from Nikon to not test a great lenses that is also economical to "push" the new more expensive lenses?
Please test the aged but good 300 f4 AF-S so that we can make an informed decision as to whether or not to purchase this new 80-400 mm VR lens.
Please do so quickly as this lens should already be in your database due to it's age.
Your credibility suffers greatly with such an oversight....similar to the Nikon 12-24 f2.8 delay in testing.

Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
A lot of Nikon telephoto primes will be published this summer but this one is not in the list, sorry.
We will have to add it in the road map.

How To Sell Winners Like A Pro II: Second In A Series Knowing when to buy a stock is just half of what it takes to become a successful investor. The other half? Knowing when to sell.
Investors who don't have a well-thought-out exit strategy are often doomed to watching gains evaporate or turn into losses.
IBD provides a system of recognizing when it's time to take at least some money off the table — using a set of proven sell rules.
This column examines one of those rules: Take profits when your stock suffers its biggest one-day (or weekly) point loss, typically in big volume, since its breakout from a good base.
A high-volume plunge coming after a long run-up indicates that the stock has topped. Such action indicates that mutual funds, pension funds and other big investors are bailing out, leaving the stock without the support needed to keep driving it higher.
Ebix (EBIX), a provider of software and services to the insurance industry, cleared an 11.75 buy point in a cup-with-handle base on July 17, 2009 (adjusted for a 3-for-1 split; see a weekly chart). The handle could also be viewed as a square-box base.
At the breakout, Ebix boasted best-possible 99 Composite and Earnings Per Share ratings.
By the end of October, the stock had climbed 93% before correcting to form a new base-on-base pattern with a 20.09 handle buy point. It broke above that entry on Sept. 20, 2010, in strong volume and went on to hit an all-time high of 30.35 intraday on March 25, 2011 1, representing a 158% gain from the original July 2009 buy point of 11.75.
But later that day, the stock staged a gut-wrenching reversal, plunging 7.19 points, or 24%, to end at 22.52. Ebix pierced both its 50-day 2 and 200-day moving averages. It was the biggest one-day point loss since the July 2009 breakout. Volume grew more than 1,500% above normal 3.
Worse, the drop happened during a market uptrend. This was clearly a sell signal. From there, Ebix declined steadily, hitting a low of 13.02 on Oct. 4, 57% below its March peak and just 11% above its 11.75 buy point.
Stocks that have suffered big one-day losses in huge volume will show up in the Stocks On The Move table on the home page at Investors.com.

Today is Take Your Dog To Work Day
Today, Friday June 22, 2012 is Take Your Dog To Work Day! Isn't that awesome? I know I would love to bring my furry friend to work with me, except I don't have a furry friend, yet. Most dogs enjoy getting out of the house, so it isn't a problem at all for them to wake up with you.
In preparation, be sure to "puppy-proof" your office. Also, a couple bones or dog treats are necessary so your dog will also have things to "work" on while you are busy. Today is suppose to be a fun day at work, so enjoy it! TGIF!

Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham
Tottenham would surely have secured Champions League football already had Emmanuel Adebayor played like this all season but his revival against Chelsea offers hope they still might.
Spurs have long rued a shortage of firepower this season. Adebayor's utter indifference to the cause for much of the campaign has exacerbated this, heaping further pressure on Gareth Bale to perform weekly heroics.
For Andre Villas-Boas to have any chance of a positive return to Stamford Bridge 14 months after his departure as manager, it was widely agreed Bale would have to draw something from his match-winning repertoire yet again.
Yet Bale's influence was peripheral here as Adebayor took centre stage, equalising Oscar's early header with a 25-yard strike before producing a sublime second-half flick to give Gylfi Sigurdsson the chance to cancel out Ramires' toe-poked strike.
There was plenty more besides. The 29-year-old's link-up play was excellent — one second-half moment where he pulled a long ball out of the sky with stunning control stood out — and, particularly after the interval, Spurs suddenly had the physical presence in attack to offer a counter threat to Chelsea's possession.
Where has this incarnation of Adebayor been for so long? He would argue injury and a hampered pre-season are partly to blame. Whatever the explanation, Adebayor's first-half effort — albeit benefiting from the space Chelsea afforded by backing off — was a reminder of his class yet only his second Premier League goal since New Year's Day.
Spurs need him now. A draw represents a good result but their hopes of a top-four finish now rely on others to drop points. Tottenham have to beat Stoke and Sunderland, meaning goals are a pre-requisite and Adebayor must replicate both his quality and industry. "I have to single out Adebayor's performance which was outstanding," said Villas-Boas. "He'd been struggling with knee pain and he put himself forward for the team with a great performance. He fully deserved his man-of-the-match award. He has been outstanding.
"He's a different kind of striker to [Jermain] Defoe but all of them offer great qualities. It was a great performance."
It may come too late to save his Tottenham career with rumours persisting the club will look to sell Adebayor this summer (it could be argued his motivation is to remind other clubs of his talents rather than Tottenham's current plight) but his return to prominence would help mask other problems.
Tom Huddlestone and Scott Parker were overrun in central midfield as Chelsea dictated proceedings.
There was not much Villas-Boas could do with Sandro a long-term absentee and Mousa Dembele missing with a hamstring problem — he is "80 per cent" likely to be fit for Stoke according to the Spurs manager — but the fatigued and laboured composition of Tottenham's midfield has been a contributing factor to their slowed progress.
Villas-Boas did what he could by removing Aaron Lennon for Sigurdsson and Lewis Holtby for Clint Dempsey and it was a source of frustration among Chelsea supporters that Rafael Benitez was not equally proactive.
Eden Hazard was causing Spurs problems before his withdrawal, although injury was supposed to be to blame for the change, but Benitez received a torrent of abuse for replacing Oscar with Yossi Benayoun shortly after Sigurdsson's equaliser, during which Adebayor looked marginally offside in the build-up.
With Chelsea losing control and tiring badly as the game wore on, it seemed a curious decision to ignore the composure Frank Lampard could bring but Benitez was typically defiant in his post-match press conference over his inactivity from the bench.
He said: "Do you think that you are better in attack if you play with five strikers or one striker? Maybe I have another idea [than bringing on Demba Ba for Fernando Torres]. I was doing what I had to do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In Spain, we say, 'It is easy to see the bulls from the fence'."
Benitez has positively impacted matches through his substitutions on occasion but not often enough to avoid the complaint becoming a recurring theme during his interim tenure.
Managing his squad through the sheer volume of matches has been an ongoing aspect, too, and this draw means Chelsea must approach Saturday's trip to Aston Villa with maximum intensity instead of turning one eye to next week's Europa League Final. He added: "If we can manage with different players, we'll be fine."
Both sides clearly need their big players in form for the final push.

Week 1 of the NFL season brings out the best in fans. Either your team sucks or it is going to the Super Bowl. There is no middle ground.
That's what makes this league and this game so fun. The passion is crazy, but so is the venom.
If your team lost, your week stinks. Your season is over. Already talking about next year.
If your team won, you're thinking about spending money on that new coat for the cold-weather Super Bowl in New Jersey and figuring out how you can get tickets to Letterman.
That's just the way you are, even if one week of play doesn't let us figure anything out. Don't even act like it does.
So as I put together this second batch of CBSSports.com Power Rankings, I did so with something I preach on regular basis in the back of my mind.
It is just one game.
But it's hard not to look at the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers and think they aren't the best in the NFL right now, which is why they are atop the rankings.
Both were impressive in their season-opening victories over good teams, with Denver having more of an easy time with Baltimore than Green Bay did with San Francisco.
A week from now, though, that could all change. The Broncos go to New York to play the Giants, while the 49ers play at Seattle. It wouldn't be a shock to see both teams lose.
If we had overreaction Monday, coming up this week is "Get-even weekend." Just remember I told you it's coming.

I'm a little bit difficult and can appear nasty to people that need to touch me. Other groomers felt they needed to put a muzzle on me to get me to behave. I don't have to wear a muzzle at Sue's. The staff is very trained and knows how to get a feisty puppy like me to have a nice bath. Oh, and I'm so clean and smell wonderful when I get back home. Four paws up for Sue's (and my usual groomer, Leah). Woof.


text: It is easy to imagine how ecosystem management on forest lands leads to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The more difficult step is finding an institutional approach that provides incentives for ecosystem management and other environmentally aware management practices. Mexico's forestry sector offers valuable lessons as most forest land is held as common property by local communities. While Mexico has promulgated environmental laws that incorporate ecosystem management approaches, the involvement of local communities and local community management are little understood aspects of the climate change agenda, often referred to at the end of policy papers as an afterthought with no real integration into policy. This presentation discusses evidence suggesting that Mexico's community forestry sector manages resources in ways compatible with an ecosystem management philosophy. Whether a community's management practices mitigate climate change depends on wider institutional features. Several critical points will be addressed: whether local communities are "good stewards" as countries increasingly decentralize environmental policy; the extent that timber and non-timber production are complements or substitutes; and when communities should receive subsidies for reducing GHG emissions beyond their baseline level of effort.

12v Fans for ports
I''ve been looking for a source for 12v fans
to make a couple of "window fan" units for
several of my portlights. Any sources for
small 12v air movers...say no more than 3.5"
in diameter? Thanks.
12v Fans for ports
I''m not sure about the voltage, but I''ve seen a lot of comments by people who used the little fans from computer power supplies. May want to look into that, would seem to be the right size for what you want.
12v Fans for ports
You might want to run a yahoo search on KISS wind generators...because you should get a link to "Hotwire"...they are in St. Pete FL area and besides the KISS wind generators they sell a port mounted small computer power supply kind of fan that moves quite a bit of air. I saw these fans at the St. Pete Boat Show recently and they do move a pretty good bit of air. Send an email to them - address it to "Libby".
If you can''t find a link to them, email me at email@example.com and I''ll hunt up the email address for you.

We began demoing this product at trade shows and the response was amazing - everyone found a different reason to love the exact same product. Hunters loved it as a quick-setup chair, parents loved it as a mini hammock for the young ones, and hammock campers everywhere rejoiced. The days of cuddling up next to your backpack in the hammock or hanging it in a tree are over - the VersaTrek is here. Because Your Gear Deserves A Hammock Too: When setup over or under your hammock (make sure you have an extra hanging kit or your own rope) you've got a perfect place to store your pack, clip your water bottle, headlamp, etc. and keep all your gear within easy reach. When setup underneath our V9 Strong Tarp, you'll sleep soundly knowing your gear is dry and off the ground. Hammock Chair/Swing: While we think hammocks are great for sleeping in, there are a lot of times when you just need to get off the ground and sit comfortably. The VersaTrek is lighter and stronger than any camping chair and gets you off the ground in style. Cook your food at the campsite, take a break while hunting, or just swing your troubles away on the front porch. The VersaTrek can easily be hung from a single overhead branch/post (just make sure it's strong enough to support your weight!).Junior Hammock: The VersaTrek can be used as a lie-down hammock but at only 5' long (the usable area is even shorter) it isn't going to fit the big kids. However, if you've got little ones the VersaTrek can be a great way to introduce them to the joys of a hammock. Our No-Flip Design™ means you can rest easy, but please remember you should never leave young children or infants unattended or unsupervised when in a hammock. This product is not designed, sold or tested as a 'baby hammock'. How Do You Use The VersaTrek? Ever since we began testing the product we've heard countless creative ways it's been put to use: As a bear pouch (hoisting your food up into a tree), as a drag-anchor when boating or kayaking, even as a sling/tourniquet in a backcountry injury. Let us know how you put the VersaTrek to use!
For every hammock purchased Trek Light Gear partners with Trees For The Future to plant TWO trees in your honor.You get an incredible hammock to relax in, the planet gets a little bit a lot healthier in the process - it's that simple.
Our mission at Trek Light Gear is to enhance your outdoor experiences, to help reduce your impact on the planet and to provide products that make it convenient, comfortable and easy to connect with the world around you.
Our name stems from the notion that we should all 'trek lightly' whenever possible and all of our products are designed with that core philosophy in mind.

Today there are several surgical options for weight loss. You and your surgeon must evaluate the procedures and decide which one is right for you. Results achieved by patients must be independently evaluated and managed. Actual weight loss will vary.
The adjustable gastric band, also known as Lap-Band® or REALIZE® Band, is a minimally invasive technique which involves placing a band around the upper portion of the stomach. The band creates a small stomach pouch that serves to restrict food intake and make one feel full faster. The small stomach pouch slowly releases food to the lower portion of the stomach through the opening created by the band.
One of the major advantages of the adjustable gastric band is the diameter of the band outlet is adjustable to meet your individual needs, which can change as you lose weight. The operation can usually be performed using laparoscopy (using small incisions and long instruments rather than a single large incision). The procedure requires no cutting or stapling of the stomach or small bowel.
The inner surface of the band can be inflated with liquid (saline solution) or deflated to modify the size of the pouch. The band is connected by tubing to a reservoir, which is placed well under the skin during surgery. After the operation, the surgeon can control the amount of saline in the band by entering the reservoir with a fine needle through the skin. These adjustments begin about six weeks after the band is placed, and four to six adjustments are typically needed until appropriate adjustment is reached during the first year.
Adjustable gastric band procedures are normally performed as day surgery, although a patient may be admitted for an overnight stay in the hospital depending on the post-operative situation and the patient's co-morbid conditions.

I just got back from the Eviction Defense Collaborative and they
said that it was too late to do anything "legal".
Master tenant did not tell us that we are being evicted (why?).
He collected our rent and did not pay landlord.
All we can do is attend the settlement hearing and put pressure on the master tenant there to not settle and take off with our money and for the landlord not to evict us.
Maybe...hopefully some political pressure would help too.

The advertising watchdog has ruled that two ads for Channel 4's Big Fat Gypsy Wedding were offensive and irresponsible, in a partial reversal of a decision earlier this year.
Four posters for the documentary, which originally drew 372 complaints, featured the words "Bigger. Fatter. Gypsier" over an image of a young boy looking directly at the camera and others of two teenagers wearing low-cut bra tops and three young girls dressed for their first Holy Communion standing in front of a caravan.
In February the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) judged that although the adverts "might not be to everyone's taste", they were unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence as they reflected the content of the programme.
But an independent review recommended that the ASA reinvestigate the campaign following the request by the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain (ITMB) which had complained that the ads racially demeaned them and exposed their children to bullying and abuse.
Defending the campaign, Channel 4 said it centred on using real and intimate photographic portraits of gypsy and traveller life "in a style to reflect the journalistic intent of the series".
Informed consent had been obtained from all subjects or their relevant parent or guardian and final copies of the ads sent to all the families involved, with no objections.
But the ASA, which took advice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, found that the ads featuring the young boy and the teenagers wearing low-cut tops could enforce prejudicial views against the gypsy and traveller community and were likely to cause serious offence to some members.
It also ruled that Channel 4 acted irresponsibly by depicting a child - one of the two young teenagers pictured in low-cut tops - in a sexualised way.
It found that two other ads showing a man leading a horse across a field with caravans in the background and the three young girls dressed for Holy Communion did not breach the advertising code.
The ASA said: "We noted that the boy in the image was shown in close-up and had his lips pursed in a manner that we considered was likely to be seen as aggressive.
"We considered that negative image, when combined with the strapline which suggested that such behaviour was 'Gypsier', would be interpreted by many members of the gypsy and traveller communities and some of the wider public to mean that aggressive behaviour was typical of the younger members of the gypsy and traveller community. We considered that implication was likely to cause serious offence to some members of those communities while endorsing the prejudicial view that young gypsies and travellers were aggressive."
It said of the ad featuring the two teenagers: "We understood that the photo was an accurate depiction of how the young women had chosen to dress for the occasion at which they had been photographed and we considered that it was clear that they were dressed for a night out.
"However, we noted that they were heavily made-up and wearing low cut tops and we considered that, when combined with the strapline and in particular the word 'Gypsier', the ad implied that appearance was highly representative of the gypsy and traveller community in a way that irresponsibly endorsed that prejudicial view and was likely to cause serious offence to the gypsy and traveller community."
It said that Channel 4 "acted irresponsibly" because the girl on the right of the poster was 15 when the picture was taken.
It added: "We noted that she was heavily made-up, her bra was visible and that she was wearing a low-cut top that revealed much of her cleavage and raised her breasts. Although we understood that the girl was depicted in her own choice of dress we considered that, in choosing that image for use in a poster, Channel 4 had acted irresponsibly by depicting a child in a sexualised way."
It ruled that the two ads must not appear again.
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "It was not Channel 4's intention for these adverts to cause offence but we are sorry this was the case among some members of the Gypsy and Traveller community.
"All responsible action was taken pre-publication. The posters were voluntarily submitted to the industry's independent CAP copy advice team who advised that they believed they complied with the advertising code, consent was obtained from contributors, and the posters were shared with those featured, who had no objections."
But ITMB chief executive Yvonne MacNamara called on those responsible for the ads to issue a full apology.
She said: "The ITMB applaud the decision of the ASA. As a result of this decision, Channel 4's Big Fat Gypsy brand has been held up to be morally bankrupt.
"In its evidence to the ASA investigation, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission described anti-Gypsy and Traveller racism as the last respectable racism. The ASA has today made clear that it is no longer acceptable.
"The ITMB and the Gypsy and Traveller co-complainants call upon those responsible for these adverts to issue a full apology for the harm they have caused to children with their offensive campaign. We call on Channel 4 to repair the incredible harm they have done to the UK's most vulnerable minorities."
David Enright, a partner with Howe & Co Solicitors, which has been representing the ITMB and the other complainants, said: "The ASA's powerful findings represent a fundamental turning point in how Travellers and Gypsies can be portrayed in the media in the future.
"No longer will it be acceptable for the media and broadcasters to portray Travellers and Gypsies in racist stereotypes without regard for the quantifiable harm done to those vulnerable communities."

Miley Cyrus was all over Mike WiLL Made It at a party to celebrate the release of her new album 'Bangerz' in Manhattan, New York, on Tuesday night (08.10.13).
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who split from her fiance Liam Hemsworth last month, reportedly partied up a storm at the bash at Finale nightclub on Manhattan's Lower East Side in New York on Tuesday night (08.10.13), where she also "motor-boated" her friend Amazon Ashley's breasts.
An eyewitness told UsMagazine.com: "Miley was all over Mike Will Made it. Grinding all over him, kissing his neck." The source said that the 24-year-old DJ also kissed Miley's neck and grabbed her butt.
Miley, who is desperately trying to move on from her Disney past, also made her beau change the track when he played her old hit 'Party in the USA'.
The 20-year-old singer previously laughed off reports linking her to Mike. The music producer, whose real name is Michael Williams, was spotted taking her on a date to Bootsy Bellows nightclub in Hollywood last month.
A source previously revealed that Mike and Miley developed a connection while working on her comeback album and making her music video, 'We Can't Stop'.
A friend recently said: "Everyone knows they're hooking up. Mike is very protective of Miley ... Miley and Mike vibe off each other."

As for the key, yeah, If you can get it to the accessory position, (I did it with a little banging after a couple tries) It can be taken out easily.
The little pin ONLY goes down when the key is in the accessory position. Once out, I opened it up, then opened the little silver colored side panel. The springs took themselves out (lol) and I took the tumblers out. I put it back together, including that cotter pin, and put it back in.
Now, as I understand, the the anti theft system is not in the ignition lock cylinder, but in the area it fits into, so replacing the cylinder idoesn't change that (getting one set to your key will make things simpler, there are several threads here about that).
Even with no tumblers, though, I have to have my 'special' key to start the engine. Any key or screw driver or pretty much anything can turn the accessory power on, but the anti theft device will not let the car start the engine unless it senses the right key.
(an added odd thing, the key now can come out, even with the car started lol)
As for how permanent the fix is, That depends. It probably isn't great it the car is a lease, or if you want to resell it, but it does not effect the running of the car, It may be a little easier to steal(it the thief maybe knew how to disable the passive anti theft thing), but then again, a thief would have no way of knowing there were no tumblers, and the wheel lock and everything still works.
GZetech, rep-points, allready done ;) TY again!

Further to my story yesterday on the St John Hotel in Leicester Street going into administration just 18 months after opening, and less than a month after winning a Michelin star, owners Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver have been in touch to say that while the hotel is indeed in administration it is not closed, contrary to my report.
The pots are still bubbling merrily in the kitchen and the maids are still plumping pillows in the hotel, which is fully booked until Christmas, while a buyer is sought. Gulliver and Henderson are indeed hoping to buy it back. Good luck to them. By way of an apology, the Londoner will be eating humble trotter pie.
