Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM

Very versitile, tack sharp when stopped down, can be used for almost anything that does not require more than 85MM zoom. Ok build quality and the IS is very usefull indeed.
For some reason Canon chooses not to include a lens hood.
I picked my copy of this lens up in Tokyo last summer and been using it stedly for 5 months now.
I have no negative experiance with it whatsoever. It preforms nicely as long as certain messures are taken.
I always stop it down to F7.1 or so. As long as I do that it works like a charm.
The pics are nice and sharp, although I miss some the crispnes I get from my 70-200 F4L. But then again the 17-85 IS is not an L-series lens and should not be treated or reviewed as one.
The IS has saved me more than once and I have no problem getting sharp shots down to 1/15 sec handhold. I have also got nightshots with it handhold without using a a flash.. Granted Tokyo and Las Vegas are well lit up at night..
The only thing I'm slightly enoyed with. Canon is that they don't include a lenshood. It's not more than about 20 USD in Tokyo, but hey...still I'd expect to get a lenshood when I purchase a lens..
Other than that like said, this lens preforms well for a non-L lens, and I have no problem recomending it.

Extremly sharp when used proparly. Lightweight and easy to handle
I miss a tripod color.
I had some problems shooting at F4 in poor light without a tripod, but then again, who does't..
I got better results when stopping it down a few stops. But wide open it's still very sharp.
I use it with a 1.4 converter and it still works like a charm. But be aware. The converter slows autofokus down by quite a bit.
Color and contrast is exelent.
For those who say "wish this lens had a F2.8" or "F4 is a bit slow" then I say go get the F2.8 lens.. this is NOT a F2.8 lens and it never have been.
On the other hand I wish Canon could do a 70-300 F4L. But I won't hammer this lens for that.
I highly recomend this lens for those who needs it's preformance.
I use it regurarly for all kinds of photography.
I've shot portraits,landscape, aircraft/airshows, birds and wildlife. It preforms beautifully as long as the lighting is good.

Post Breast Cancer Family Hawaii Trip
Two years ago, at the age of 31 and with 2 young kids, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Before I started the surgery, treatment, and chemo my husband said we'd take a trip when all of this was over. I could choose anywhere. It gave me something to look forward to. Even with insurance our medical bills were super expensive. We used our AAdvantage credit card to pay for medical bills in order to save up our advantage miles. Because of this, we were able to get 4 FREE Airline Tickets to … [Read more...]

Can you catch crabs from a video? I hope not. I didn't know what a Girlicious was when I first scrolled passed the name on a message board, but after one phone call, I've since learned that this freaky foursome consists of the 'winners' from the show, The Pussycat Dolls Presents: Girlicious. Isn't that name Girlicious catchy? It's like so sexy, right? Yahh!
The show's season finale aired yesterday, and
their pimps producers from the show have wasted no time in releasing the video for their first single, "Like Me." The song gives Natalie, Nichole, Tiffanie, and Chrystina (Isn't cool how they remixed the spellings of their names? That makes them like so much hotter! Yahh!) the opportunity to let us all know that no other hoe can out tramp them.
That's an interesting choice of subject matter considering this song sounds like nothing more than an irregular version of their fairy godstrippers' hit "Don't Cha" – the first single from their debut album. Plus, if you squint while watching this, you would think Danity Kane pulled a Destiny's Child and filmed a video without letting one of their members know they no longer have a job.
I really hope this show's demographics consists of mainly men who want to fuck them or a few gay men that want to be them. Maybe even a little bit of both. Whatever the case, tell me little girls aren't watching this show thinking they, too, can become
well paid famous strippers that "sing" jingles so long as they can work a pole and treat individuality like it comes with a case of herpes. Then again, truth hurts.
I give this group six months until most people forget their existence — until the follow up season airs, of course. Then they get a few more extra months of D-listdom out of sheer politeness.
If you want more Girlicious, you can check out the video for their next single called "Stupid Shit" here. Now why didn't anyone suggests that as a group name?

Should your name be removed from the voting rolls? Yes, absolutely. This is not Chicago, after all. Now let's say you are a registered Ohio voter and you have moved, permanently, to another state. Should your name be removed from the voting rolls in Ohio? Yes, certainly, because you can't vote in a state where you no longer live.

Hackers Can't Change The Outcome Of Ohio's Election, Officials Say By Howard Wilkinson • Oct 2, 2016 The Russians may be good at computer hacking, but they are not good enough to hack into Ohio's voting system, mainly because it is not connected to the internet.

I have this problem: a reflection on healing
I have this problem. Anyone who's been in my company has probably noticed it. And anyone who knows me can attest to it.
A scab cannot exist without me picking it. If there is a scab of any sort, it *must* be picked. And I can't rest until it is!
So recently there's been a battle between this self-destructive tendency and my body's healing process. It's like a race—who can work faster. But one day while I was looking at the damage I once again caused to my poor defenseless skin, I realized something. I keep picking, but it keeps healing. I pick again. It heals again. It doesn't get tired of giving me a second, third, 555th chance. No matter how many times I pick at it, it still heals. It still gives me another chance to get it right.
So it got me thinking about how many things in our lives we mess up again and again and again. It got me thinking about how many things we keep getting wrong, how many things we do to hurt our own selves. And yet, Allah keeps mending it. Again and again and again. Allah never grows tired of mending it. He never grows tired of healing us. Subhanna Al-Jabbar. Wa Allahu akbar.

Pretty deep message. I love it.
When even an experience, as minor as getting a scab, is connected to a higher level of thinking, of strengthening faith, and guided into living once again, with Hope. MashaAllah, an extremely profound thought, beautifully put into words.
SubhanAllah!!!! Such a beautiful reflection. I actually have this problem where i keep picking at scabs but the thing is, with my persistence on picking these scabs, they become dark spots………. my skin heals but then, the effects of what i have put it through remain visible for the world to see. and that's where Allah SWT The Most Generous in His forbearance unlike my skin, keeps giving me a chance to mend and leaves no sign for the rest of the world to see what serious damage i have done to myself.
Jazaki Allahu khayran sis. Yasmin for this amazing reflection…..
May Allah SWT benefit us with the things he has taught us and teach us the things that will benefit us.
SubhanAllah, no matter how much it's picked on, the humble scab keeps returning because unlike us, it is in relentless pursuit and submissive obedience to it's Creator in order to complete it's purpose – to stick close to you until you are healed, and only then let you go. AllahuAkbar.
Masha'Allah, sister you are so talented.
Perfect thoughts to have in my mind before rest.
This is a brave and beautiful reflection on self harming. Although, I wonder if you have looked at the root of the problem and not only how Gracious Allah is with our weighted burdens?
thank you. 😉 a very deep thought.
MashaAllah sister Yasmin i love your articles! Barakallahu fiki!
I love dis..Its lift me up a bit..

Welcome Penney
You're in the right place for help and support. Yes, things will get easier .. IF you are willing to make a few changes in your lifestyle. Diabetes can do a lot of damage to your body but you are lucky to have it discovered so early in your life. Now you can start heading off some of the bad effects before they get started. Are you Type I or Type II?
Your diet will have to change (no regular sodas ... sugar-free are OK) if you want to see improvements in your health but its not all that hard to do. A lot of us around here follow a low-carb diet -- no starches, sugars, grains, pasta, potatoes ... basically Nothing white except cauliflower, cottagge cheese & eggs. This really helps control your blood sugar. Some of us are successfully using diet and exercise to controll the disease without medication.
Have a gander at a few old messages from the past few weeks/months. They'll give you a sense of what gets discussed around here. Its a great place with great advice and great people!
(Did I mention it was great? ;-)

SOCAP International (The Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals in Business) was established in 1973 to help shape the business community's response to changing consumer needs and expectations.
The Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) played a major role in the formation of SOCAP. The CBBB authorized aid for the creation of a consumer relations group and sent a mailing to Fortune 500 companies asking for information on consumer affairs and the name of the person responsible for that function.
The new organization—now known as SOCAP International—was born on May 24, 1973 at a CBBB assembly in Anaheim, California. Jack Scarcliff, director of consumer affairs for Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, was elected SOCAP's first president. In 1981, SOCAP hired Louis Garcia to manage the association. The following year, SOCAP introduced Mobius(now Customer Relationship Management), the first professional journal for consumer affairs executives in business.
SOCAP has produced studies, conference programming, magazine articles and website materials reflecting the latest trends in consumer affairs—including the increased focus on customer care, customer loyalty and retention, contact center management, globalization, sourcing strategies and technological developments.
In July 2006, with the retirement of Louis Garcia, Matthew R. D'Uva became the President of SOCAP International. At the 2007 Annual Business Meeting in Palm Springs, SOCAP adopted a new vision and mission.

(Posted 12th October 2016)
Jumia Travel, seeking to further empower its hotel partners across all markets with top-notch technology now launched the Web Extranet, a web version of the previously launched Extranet App on Android. The tool allows hotel managers to confirm and view their incoming Jumia Travel reservations, secured access to necessary guest information and ability to change their rates and update availability on real time basis, from any connected location.
According to Charles de Moucheron, Chief Operating Officer, the portal is working on direct integration with existing partner hotel systems to manage bookings, update rates and availability. 'After integrating the first channel managers in earlier in the year, we are now integrating multiple hospitality software solutions for our hotels partners so as to improve and simplify operations. The Web Extranet is built on the latest technology that delivers the shortest loading time currently available in the market. This is customized to accommodate even markets where internet speed is still limited' he said.
His comments are reiterated by Cyrus Onyiego, Kenya's Country Manager for Jumia Travel, quoting that, 'With online travel sales forecasted to grow to USD 762 billion by 2019 (Statistica.com), the need to capitalize on technology can not be underestimated'. He emphasized on the need for free flow of information and real time update by hoteliers, adding that in order to stay on top of current and forward-focused technological needs of both customers and partners, the hotel industry must embrace the role of IT as a solution provider and not a costly liability.
The new version is a so-called progressive web application, which delivers an app-like experience to the user. With a market that is highly characterized by a "mobile-first" adaptation, the tool is mobile-optimized, which means the app size can adapt to any screen size; be it on the mobile, smartphone, tablet or desktop.
Jumia Travel (travel.jumia.com) today is Africa's No.1 hotel booking website, enabling clients to get the best prices for more than 25,000 hotels in Africa and more than 200,000 hotels around the world.

Jumia's offices in East Africa are located in Nairobi, Kampala, Dar es Salaam while in West Africa is the company present in Lagos, Accra, Dakar, Douala and Abidjan. Algiers, Addis Ababa, Porto and Paris round up the company's African and European market presence.
Jumia Travel was was previously known as Jovago until the company rebranded a few months ago. It was founded in 2013 by Jumia and is backed by MTN, Rocket Internet, Millicom, Orange and Axa as financial partners.

Oyster-Jack No 7
Oysters giving you some trouble? The Oyster-Jack No 7 should get the job done. If we're making parallels to breaking bike locks, this is more bolt cutter than wire cutter. The American-made oyster shucker gives you far more leverage thanks to a long, gripped handle and puts your unsuspecting oyster (or clam) between a plastic stand and a carbide-coated V-shaped wedge. A bit of practice and you'll be cracking open even the sturdiest oysters in seconds and with almost no effort. It's also far less likely to stab you in hand, a plus. And if you and your guests are planning on eating a few bucket loads, it's a no-brainer.

The Pilgrim's Progress based on 0 ratings. 84 reviews.
The book is excellent, but the folks at B&N should be embarrassed to offer this badly scanned nook book edition. Notes and marginal comments appear in-line in the same font as the text and interrupt the flow of reading. Words are sometimes split randomly or shift in their middle between plain and italic. Words that should be bolded aren't. Poetry is set as prose at random. Apostrophes are mis-scanned as question marks. Apparently no one bothered to proofread the scan results. The editorial notes also detract from the text on which they are supposed to comment. since they are often trivial and sometimes plain wrong. This is truly a sorry transfer from text to ebook and unworthy of Bunyan's masterpiece.
There is a reason this book has not been out of print since it was first published in the late 1670s. It remains relevant. One of the most insightful and honest descriptions of the Christian Life, far better than modern writers can even come close. It is the quintessential Christian allegory, ahead even of Chronicles of Narnia. Brilliant insights, life-changing.
Though an exhilirating tale of adventure and grandiose excitement if epic proportions it is still so much more than that. NEVER a substitute for the Word of God, but a wonderful contemporary study guide piece that every christian should read and will enjoy when presented with the opportunity!
It seems a lot of the footnotes, etc., get jumbled in with the text. It's frustrating to navigate.
This is a great read of an allegory about a man's travelling the path of life being akin to a man's attempt at travelling the path to religious redemption. The writing style is, of course, heroic-epic; and, the author does an admirable job at staying true to the character and the plot. I recommend it to anyone whom appreciates epic.
This book contains a very detailed table of contents, and a different formatting of the inline references (which makes it easier to read than most other versions of this book that I've seen). Great book!
Wrong book here! This is some other kind of allegory or story--not anything Bunyan would have liked. Seems a Catholic kind of tale. It is a scam, as it is NOT Pilgrim's Progress on the inside. Please correct the title and description of it!
Pilgrim's Progress is a wonderful allegory of our Christian walk. It is so wonderfully written, despite the fact that John Bunyan only had an eigth grade education. I love how Scripture is continually intertwined with the characters' dialouge. I also enjoyed the story of Christiana who later falls in her husband's footsteps.
This book is inspirational and makes me think about my relationship with Christ, but it is a very long, drawn out book and, as a ninth grader, is difficult to always understand. The book is about Christian, as he travels along the narrow road to the Celestial City. It applies all that is said in the Bible about how we should act as we live life and face struggles.
This book get 5 stars right off the back. the only set back is reading the old english. basically this book is about Christian going on an adventure to the celestial city, and runs into fearsome dangers.
Very touching and inspirational. The trials of life can be challenging however, faith, hope, and love can lead us towards the kingdom of God to heaven. A wonderful book.
I'm currently reading the Barnes and Noble classic edition of The Pilgrim's Progress and I'm really enjoying it. This edition is very helpful to the modern reader because of its extensive use of footnotes which help readers like myself understand the text more fully. The footnotes provide context into the author's meaning. The English language has changed somewhat since the publication of The Pilgrim's Progress. Yet, the novel is still incredibly fresh and insightful to the readers of today, especially those like myself who are of the Christian faith. So many modern sayings have come from this book. I can fully understand how it is one of the most read books in the English language second only to the Bible. Happy reading!
Written over 300 years ago, this masterpiece lives on in the hearts and minds of literature lovers. Timeless truths mined from the heart of God's Word in lovely tale by a man who knew what it was to live and suffer for his faith.
Good book that is fairly easy to read but I wish it had a glossary.
This book is the best
Makes you think and the movie is great also
This is not The Pilgrim's Progress! Do not waste your money
At first the story seemed pointless and then as I conntinued, it became clear that the story is intended to show the way to a sinless state of mind in order to achieve life everlasting.
A masterpiece. I read it about once a year.
A classic that opens up people miind on what it might be like wen you have two patss to choose from. I realy like this story because it gives you an idea whht it would belike if you went down the wrong path, as well as right path too.

PLAINSBORO Ś As a captain with the Steinert High boys basketball team, Nick LaBelle needs to do more than just score points.
Sometimes, like Friday night at West Windsor-Plainsboro High North, the 6-foot-2 senior forward needs to calm down his teammates as well.
One of those moments came after LaBelle saw the Northern Knights score the first 10 points against the Spartans.
After he got his teammates to relax and pick up their defense, things went a lot better for Steinert.
In fact, by holding WW-P North to single-digit scoring the rest of the way, LaBelle and the Spartans were able to turn the tables on the home team and come away with a 45-41 win.
The victory was the second in as many days for Steinert (4-5) on the heels of a three-game losing streak.
ōWeÆre finally starting to come together,ö LaBelle said. ōBut down, 10-0, was not good at all. We refocused, tightened our defense and finally got our run.ö
LaBelle had a lot to do with those runs. His 21 points led all scorers in the game, on a day when he and his teammates were going against one of the countyÆs top scorers in Northern Knights six-foot senior guard Juwan Harrison.
Harrison finished with 20 points and four 3-point field goals, including eight points and two treys in the first quarter when WW-P North held onto a 16-13 lead.
From there, however, the Spartans clamped down defensively, not allowing the home team to score more than nine points in a quarter the rest of the way.
ōWeÆve got to play better defensively ourselves,ö Harrison said. ōWhen they zoned us, it put us in a tough spot. We need more communication, so we can run our sets better.ö
With the teamÆs second-leading scorer, Isaiah Powell, expected to be out for six weeks with a hand injury, Harrison carried much of the scoring load on his shoulders, though six-foot senior guard Christian Waters stepped up to score 11 points.
LaBelle got a big boost from his classmate, senior guard Shane Plunkett, who added 10 points, including a pair of clutch free throws with 2:44 to go after the Northern Knights had drawn as close as 41-39.
Saubhagya BalyanÆs offensive putback with 1:10 left kept the home side within 43-41, but LaBelle and senior guard Austin Constantini each hit 1 of 2 free throws down the stretch to ensure a Steinert win.
ōWe need to improve on foul shots,ö LaBelle said after seeing his team go 8-for-15 on free throws (53 percent). ōWe need to improve every day in practice. NothingÆs ever good enough.ö
The same is true for WW-P North (3-5), which dropped its second straight and five of its last six.
Plunkett 3-2-10, Constantini 1-1-4, MStec 3-0-6, Scholey 2-0-4, LaBelle 8-5-21, Harshman 0-0-0, Cohen 0-0-0, DStec 0-0-0. Totals: 17-8-45.
Jordan 0-1-1, KMurphy 2-1-5, Harrison 7-2-20, Coleman 0-0-0, Waters 5-0-11, Dory 1-0-2, Balyan 1-0-2. Totals: 16-4-41.

OK then, I'll stop by. Can you do a 10 word simplified blurb on what you are doing at the Memoir Office? (Aside from drawing phalluses.) I want to be clear when I speak to T. later on.
Hey J —
Here's the highfalutin copy:
The Memoir Office is a working writing space for The Memoirist (Daniel Nester), who will be in residence at various times during the exhibition. When the Memoir Office is open, visitors may discuss matters specific to the Memoirist's work, edit drafts, contribute, ask questions or tell stories themselves.
In 10 words:
I write in public, talk to people. We swap stories.
I wished I could have added that I take notes, or maybe record interviews, or feel awkward while I sit there, which makes me feel like I should be working, which helps me write. But I think that descriptions works for now.

The Russian Hill Murders
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Pioneering female attorney Sarah Woolson reluctantly attends a dinner aimed at raising funds for a women and children's hospital. The dinner, to be held at the lavish home of Caroline and Leonard Godfrey, will be attended by the cream of San Francisco society. Still, Sarah resists, because she knows that most of those in attendance take a dim view of her efforts to build her legal career. But all such issues are forgotten when Caroline Godfrey collapses and dies from what looks like an errant dosage of heart medication.
No one considers Caroline's death a murder, until a number of other souls with ties to the hospital expire as well. First, the Reverend Josiah Halsey, a fiery opponent of the hospital, dies under puzzling circumstances. Next, chief accountant Lucius Arlen perishes. Finally, Dora Clemens, a petulant young helper in the hospital kitchen, dies before a horrified contingent of hospital staff. The scant available evidence points to newly hired cook Chin Lee Fong. Sarah Woolson is retained by a powerful ally of Fong who is certain that the local undercurrent of racial bias will preclude an adequate defense from any other attorney. In her increasingly desperate search for exonerating evidence, Sarah must cast accusatory inquiries toward many people she considers friends, which does little to aid her struggle to establish herself as an attorney.
Shirley Tallman creates a wonderfully vivid character in Sarah Woolson, who must struggle against both a damning array of evidence and a social environment that regards her only with stern disapproval.

If your addiction treatment center has created videos to increase awareness of your brand, it's never too late to market those assets like never before. Have you embedded videos on your site? Do they show up when someone conducts a YouTube search?
Addiction-Rep can step in and help you optimize all past and future videos to not only give them more views, but to drive viewers to your website and ultimately boost your conversions.
While it doesn't hurt if you've used video-based sites like Vimeo in the past, we at Addiction-Rep believe strongly in leveraging YouTube to bring attention to your brand of addiction treatment.
Did you know that YouTube is the No. 2 most popular search engine in the world? Even better, it's owned by the No. 1 search engine: Google. If you optimize and promote your videos appropriately, you could see those items appear on the first page in both Google and YouTube searches.
With so much at stake, we treat clients' videos the way we treat pages on their website: optimizing them to help them return higher in search results. You can target a search keyword with a video the same way you can target a keyword with a page on your website. Your content could also earn backlinks to the video page or by being embedded on somebody else's site, and this will help build trust with Google.
There are several other tricks of the trade, including adding calls to action in the YouTube video description or even in the video itself. Also, Addiction-Rep reviews all videos and, in some cases, cuts down on excess footage, as the most compelling videos in this line of work are succinct and leave the viewers wanting to learn or see more.
If we can get your videos to show up in Google search under a targeted keyword, studies show that they will be clicked on 50-100 times more often than a simple text link. Last, but not least, after optimizing your treatment center's individual videos, we promote them anew leveraging social media channels and even email. When we bring more eyeballs to your videos equipped with clear calls to action, you will start to see a jump in traffic to, and activity on, your addiction treatment website.
Well-done, relevant videos can enhance the user experience on addiction treatment sites, adding a dimension that may just make the difference between a conversion and someone who bounces off the site. Web users are 2 times more likely to watch motion content than read a lengthy written piece.
At Addiction-Rep, we'll find ways to make your videos illuminate the overall content presented on your recovery center's website. Perhaps you have a video that will help the user visualize the content on a specific page of your site. Maybe you have video content that can essentially stand alone on a page of your website. You may even have a video that would make sense in a sidebar of your homepage or within the main copy.
When you enlist Addiction-Rep to market your video content, we'll carefully look at your website and your cache of videos and see where integrating clips on your site would make sense. This will not only bring more views to your videos, but make your website stronger as a whole, thanks to offering your visitors something more than still images and text.
Not only does Addiction-Rep specialize in optimizing and marketing any existing videos your addiction treatment center has put its name behind, but we also have the resources to create high-quality, engaging video content that will drive traffic to your website.
Addiction-Rep produces addiction treatment videos of all different forms, from simple, graphic-based clips to in-person interviews and/or landscape shots. Three types of videos work particularly well in the addiction treatment field:
We find that if you're willing to spend a little more on a first-rate addiction treatment video, you can usually recover the expense with just one new client admission. To learn more about our Video Production Services, click here.

WASHINGTON — No matter that the Declaration of Independence was signed 209 years ago
--the former colonists here have surrendered completely and shamelessly to Anglomania.
It goes beyond Burberry`s raincoats and chic Filofax notebooks, King Charles spaniels and Turnbull & Asser shirts. This is hard-core royal worship, and its target is the House of Windsor`s answer to the Beautiful People: the Prince and Princess of Wales. After all, they`re young, sort of fun and the future King and Queen of England.

Meditations on my upcoming triathlon
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
I am now fully equipped for the triathlon, having received my wetsuit in the mail. And having tried it on to make sure I could actually get into it. With black boots and a mask, I could be a chubby superhero:
Yesterday, as I was biking in the pouring rain, I contemplated the fact that there is a substantial non-zero chance that I will be in last place at this triathlon. This is not some kind of ploy to have people cheer me on or anything, it's just a reality: I am fat, I am old, I am slow. I do not mind being last, but I mind the reason WHY I will probably be last.
And it has nothing to do with my own fat/old/slowness. It has to do with the fact that most people who are in the shape I'm in, or even slightly better, wouldn't even consider entering a triathlon. Not because, "ugh, I'd never want to do that" -- which is a perfectly legitimate way to feel, as no one is required to participate in athletic events that don't appeal to them. No, it's because there are many people in this shape or slightly better who are thinking, "wow, I could never do that."
And that's sad to me. It's sad that people don't feel like they should participate in such events unless they are going to be good at them, and they will never get good at them because they won't participate.
I have seen this at pretty much every 5k I've attended, particularly the ones that are labelled "5k run/2-mile walk." I realize that the race coordinators are trying to make the event appeal to a wider audience, but there seems to be an implication that if you can't RUN for 5k, then you'd better settle for the walk. At every one of these events, I start out in the middle of a good-sized crowd of walkers and slow joggers. Then we get to the turn-around spot and suddenly I'm at the back with only a handful of people. After a while, that handful diminishes further as people who can't jog the whole way drop out. Some of them, no doubt, have a physical reason why they can't continue. But others would rather slink away and remain anonymous than finish and see a time that embarrasses them.
I say nuts to that. If it takes you 50 minutes, or 75 minutes to finish a 5k, you are still lapping the guy on the couch. If it takes me 4 hours to complete this sprint-length triathlon, I will still be able to say that I did it. And I will have fun, because I don't have to be young and thin and fast to enjoy my body moving and taking on a challenge.

Here here, Miss G! I agree totally with you!
I did my first race EVER at age 57 - because my Spark Teammates encouraged me to try. I came in 2nd place - because it was a small venue (300 racers) and there weren't many in my age category. After I accomplished that, I felt like I could do more. One of our teammates - JaneTris - encouraged me to do a triathlon. I finished 5th in my division - again, a small venue super-sprint with not a lot of women in my age category. But, I tried it and I finished. And I came back for more this year!
You look great in your wet suit. Did you like swimming in it?

You look great in the wetsuit! I love the superhero comment. When I ran cross country in high school I came in last a few times, which was not the coolest thing back then as a teen, but it still was great to know many of my friends would not even attempt a 5k. Speed and finishing time is relative, but the ability to get up and move your body is absolute!

You are going to have a great race because you are participating for all the right reasons. I wish more people would TRI it! I always say that it doesn't matter when you finish. It matters that you showed up, you went for it and you did finish. Have fun!

I'm nearly 200 pounds. I've told a LOT of people about my triathlon plans. No one, including the super-fit triathletes I've told, has given me the "you're crazy" look. No one has suggested I can't do it.
I talk a lot about how active I am. I know a lot of people at the courthouse see me coming & going on my bike and going out for walks at lunch. I'm hopeful that I serve as a reminder that fitness is not reserved for the thin. Fitness and good health is something we all deserve, and even fat people can make positive changes.
But I'm sure I'd be more of an inspiration if I was a superhero.

Crossing the Finish line is what is important, not crossing it first or at the lead of a pack. Sometimes we forget that the goal doesn't have to be the gold medal for us to have done something pretty darned amazing.
And LOVE the super-hero pose. (Just need the towel cape. ^_~)

Mostly Cloudy
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida lawmakers may roll back sharp increases in fees for driver's licenses and auto tags that the state adopted three years ago to close a large budget gap.
A top Senate Republican said Thursday that he will unveil a bill next week that would cut in half the fees now charged to motorists.
Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart and Senate budget chief, said he will propose wiping out an existing tax break for insurers doing business in the state in order to cover the cost. That tax break is worth $237 million, according to state economists.
"My priority is to get money to our constituents and not subsidize an industry that is doing very well," Negron said.
State legislators confronting a multi-billion dollar shortfall back in 2009 increased fees to renew car tags and licenses as part of a $2.2 billion package of tax and fee hikes. Lawmakers also increased the state's cigarette tax that year.
Just about every motor vehicle fee, including a 35 percent increase in annual tag fees that ranges from $5 to $11.40, depending on a car's weight. The initial vehicle registration fee more than doubled, going from $100 to $225. The cost of an initial driver's license went up from $27 to $48 and a renewal increased from $20 to $48.
Top Senate Republicans agreed with Negron that it is time to cut the fees.
"During a difficult budget year, the Legislature made the hard choice to increase certain fees associated with driving a vehicle in lieu of raising taxes, or taking draconian cuts to critical state services," said Senate President Don Gaetz in a statement. "However, times have changed and it is time that we reprioritize and evaluate ways to keep more money in the pockets of hard working Floridians."
This marks the second tax break that the Senate has targeted potential elimination. Insurance companies pay a state tax on insurance premiums, but they also get a credit equal to 15 percent of the salary paid to company employees.
The Senate is also proposing eliminating a tax break for banks to help pay for economic incentives that would be used to renovate Sun Life Stadium in South Florida.
Negron has defended the potential elimination of incentives or tax breaks, saying the Legislature needs to eliminate outdated incentives before adopting new ones. The problem for Republicans is any vote to eliminate a tax break could bring criticism that they are actually raising taxes.

PhD geophysicist who studied in Karlsruhe, New Zealand and Hamburg; Alexander Gerst is a German astronaut who was part of the International Space Station crew from May to November 2014.
Born May 3, 1976, Gerst was highly active under the Twitter handle @Astro_Alex during his stay in space. This page collates DW's latest content related to Alexander Gerst.
Germany has a new astronaut. Europe has one too. His name is Matthias Maurer, and he looks set to join the heady ranks of Germany's celebrity astronaut Alexander Gerst - "Astro Alex." Also in the show: A mobile telescope is bringing the universe to children in Kenya. Donating money to homeless people – with your credit card. Italy's underwater veggie patch.
Here's the scene: 17 young scientists, holding awards. All 17 are men. There's one woman, a doctor in aeronautics - but she's handing out the prizes. Clearly she's an exception. And she's banging a drum for women.
Alexander Gerst is headed back to space - and will become the first German to take command of the International Space Station. The news was made public during Chancellor Merkel's visit to the German Aerospace Center.

When do you say enough is enough..
weather it's family or friends when do we say enough. When do we stand up and say we have had enough of the way people treat us.. For me it's now. Do we continue to allow people to disrespect us all because they are family or a best friend.. no would you allow a stranger to do that.. so what makes them any different. For years I did. but I have taken so much that I'm done with it. That's my rant for today.. Happy Thursday

The WeBS Local Organiser Advisory Committee (LOAC) should provide an opportunity for the counter network to communicate opinion as to whether WeBS staff are doing things right or wrong. Conversely, staff will be able to explain why some things are done in the way they are. The LOAC is, however, an advisory committee. It has no remit to make decisions, especially concerning funding and spending issues (which is the role of the WeBS Steering Group). Its role is instead to advise and provide ideas and feedback.
We are looking to hear from any LOs who may be interested in serving on the LOAC in the future. The eleventh meeting of the WeBS Local Organiser Advisory Committee is scheduled to be held at the Nunnery in August 2016. The minutes of previous meetings can be viewed below.
If you have any comments about any aspect of WeBS which you would like to be brought to the attention of the LOAC, please get in touch with your Local Organiser or LOAC Regional Representative.
LOAC Regions
Each region has been assigned a Local Organiser to act as a voice on the committee:
All members of the LOAC agreed that their contact details should be made available to all LOs to enable comment and feedback to be channelled to the LOAC.

Strange Days.
The first of the glasses met its fateful end when I was washing it and bashed it against the side of the sink. Not surprising, seeing as I've broken over 20 glasses in our 4.5 years of marriage.
But this one...was strange.
We have this bookcase (in black/brown, not white) sitting behind our couch, dividing our living room from our work space. Naturally, we end up setting glasses there while we're reading or watching tv. This morning, I reached to grab this Okocim glass (half full of Coke, and possibly a bit of rum, of course) to take it into the kitchen, and the bottom fell off.
It's one of the stranger things I've seen. It just came clean off. No little shards of glass, and the separated edges aren't even that sharp. I was so confused as to how the glass was half full when I picked it up, then completely empty in my hand, that it took me a few seconds to realize that the bottom piece, and the coke, was all over our couch.
Any of you out there that are smarter than me (that would be all of you)...do you know what would make this happen?
I'm thinking Dick Cheney had something to do with it. But I'm sure that can't be proven. Yet.

Oh dear, this hasn't been your week, has it?
I have not experienced your death-defying elevator ride (thank goodness -- very glad to hear you are still with us), but I have experienced exactly this phenomenon. Heavy-bottomed pint glass, sitting on smooth surface, bottom breaks cleanly off when you go to lift it.
I had a hard time explaining it as well. The closest I could come is that perhaps the bottom had caused a tiny, sealed vacuum layer on the underside of the glass, and the strength of this vacuum was somehow enough so that when you pulled on the glass, the glass just gave. Yeah, that's pseudo-physicky, I know. It was really, really strange... particularly that feeling of picking up the glass almost naturally -- a tiny bit of resistance and then it's free.
Well I don't think I've added much to the mystery...

Thanks Wesley. I'm glad I'm still here too.
Apparently the whole "bottom falling out of the glass" thing is quite common. You had it happen. Plus another friend of mine just had it happen recently. I think your pseudo-physicky explanation makes a lot of sense.
Maybe we should start some sort of group. Survivors of the mystery or something.
Oh, and I also had to laugh when I saw your comment. I told H. that when I sent out a plea for explanations, I was really sending out a plea to Wesley. You're my hero.

Wherever there is an anecdote that can tangentially be connected to something trivial in my own experience,
Wherever there is prattling-on to be done on someone's blog,
Wherever there is boredom or ennui to be conquered, or at least temporarily postponed,
I'll be there.
Oh, and the SotM group sounds cool. I nominate you to design the logo. Or at least choose the font.

As long as you write the manifest. We might not make much sense as a group, but at least we'll sound and look nice.
gubendko! (that was the word verification. It has a nice ring to it) Let the prattling continue!

Cooper, of Hazleton, and Calvin Pardee [his brother], of Philadelphia, and for over thirty years was engaged in coal mining operations. In 1875 he moved to Philadelphia, and afterwards to Chelton Hills. General Pardee was once president of the Allentown Rolling Mills, and also of the Cranberry Iron and Coal Company. At the time of his death he was a director of the North Penn Railroad, the Cranberry Iron and Coal Company and the East Tennessee and North Carolina Railroad.
