These reviews and publications provide key results that differentiate products based on detailed analysis of DxOMark data compiled for all tested cameras, lenses and mobiles.
In part III of this guide, we'll be looking at the best performing primes and zooms covering wide-angle and telephoto focal lengths for the Canon EOS 70D. Read onto find out which lenses are the best performers for when paired with the new "Dual Pixel CMOS AF' sensor in Canon's intriguing mid-range APS-C DSLR.
In part II of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the Canon EOS 70D, we've looked at the best performing prime and zoom models, regardless of focal length. Read onto find out which lenses are the best performers for when paired with the new "Dual Pixel CMOS AF' sensor in Canon's intriguing mid-range APS-C DSLR.
Sigma's range of DN A lenses have been designed for mirrorless cameras using both MFT and APS-C sensors, albeit with different mounts. As the equivalent to a 45mm on an APS-C camera we've tested the 30mm f2.8 on the discerning Sony NEX-7. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
Canon's new EOS 70D model features a new CMOS sensor that uses twin photodiodes at each pixel location that allows AF during video capture, but how does that affect stills output? Read on to find out how well the new sensor performs in our labs.
The depth of high quality primes and zooms for the PEN is, arguably, the most compelling reason to invest in the Micro Four Thirds system over rival mirrorless camera offerings. If you're already a PEN E-P5 owner or you're looking for advice or insights in lens performance in advance, this guide will aid you in making the right choice. Read onto find out which lens models in the range perform best optically.
Following the separate assessment of the modified sensor in Sony's special edition RX1R high-end full-frame compact we've now analyzed its fixed focal length Carl Zeiss Sonnar 2,0/35 lens. Sony claim this new model has improved resolution and image sharpness but just how well does this fine-tuned combination perform?
Announced in June this year, the K-50 is an accessibly priced environmentally sealed DSLR featuring a built-in stabilization and a 16-MPix APS-C size CMOS sensor. As Pentax has yet to introduce a full-frame DSLR to the range the K-50, like others before it, can benefit from one of the largest lens ranges designed for the smaller APS-C sensor. The result is an appealing and unsurpassed range of compact and highly portable primes and zooms. We have analyzed the optical properties of 28 different models in total from Pentax as well as third-party makers, mounted on the new K-50, to help you in your selection either when buying new for the first time or when simply choosing which lens to take with you on your next shoot.
Sigma's range of telephoto zooms can put the premium marques to shame in terms of choice, and this one is not only hugely versatile but can boast stabilization and a ultrasonic type motor while also saving a considerable sum. But, just how well does it compare with the new Nikon 80-400mm VR? Read on to find out.
From Monday 5th August, DxOMark will be locking the lab up for two weeks, for some well-deserved R and R. As photography enthusiasts, we will be trading the rigors of indoor technical testing for the demands of real-world picture taking, albeit at much slower pace and while taking advantage of the nice weather and maybe a beach or two. The lab will re-open on the 20th August, with reviews and advice on the latest cameras and lenses.
Chasseur d'Images, the first European magazine dedicated to photography, has chosen to rely on DxOMark Mobile technology for its new section devoted to smartphone image quality measurement. In its July issue, the magazine reviewed the water-resistant Sony Xperia Z incorporating the report with measurement data supplied by the laboratories at DxOMark.
As with previous guides, this review is intended to help you make the right choice when selecting lenses, in this instance, for the micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD E-M5 and the rival offering from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-GH3. These two flagship models share not only the same mount, as partners of the Micro Four Thirds alliance, but in this particular instance, a similar 16Mpix MOS sensor as well. The prevalence of high quality primes (and let's not forget zooms) for those cameras makes it, arguably, the most attractive proposition of any of the mirrorless camera systems currently available. Read on to see which lens models are the best performing in the range.
Sigma's range of DN lenses are specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. The 30mm f/2.8 is the equivalent to a 60mm on a MFT camera and has recently been updated but, at $199, the price seems at odds with its new premium Art series label. Read on to see how well this model performs.
As a short telephoto prime for Sony NEX and Olympus and Panasonic cameras, the re-categorized A series Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN prime fills a gap not yet occupied by the camera maker's own models. Read on to see how well this lens performs.
Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a '5-axis' stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
As the equivalent to a 150-600mm this lens perhaps more so than any other in the range demonstrates just how much smaller MFT mount lenses can be compared with APS-C format offerings. Read on to see how well this highly portable model performs.
As arguably the most versatile model in Nikon's range of telephoto lenses, the 200-400mm f/4 is very popular with professional users and enthusiasts alike. At a shade under $7,000, however, it's quite a substantial investment. Read on to see if how well this highly regarded and versatile lens performs in our labs.
Nikon has had a 200mm f/2 in its range since 1977 and has been regularly updated over the years to maintain its position as one of the highest performing lenses in the maker's range. Read on to see if how well this highly regarded lens performs in our stringent lab tests.

ESMA has published its final guidelines on repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements for UCITS funds. You may recall that when ESMA published it's guidance for UCITS in the summer it consulted on the use of repos by UCITS with a view to issuing further guidance. The latest guidelines state that UCITS should only enter into such agreements if they are able to recall at any time any assets or the full amount of cash. ESMA considers fixed-term repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements that do not exceed seven days as arrangements that allow the assets to be recalled at any time.
The guidelines will now be translated into all EU languages and will be incorporated into ESMA's guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues, which were published in July 2012. The full set of guidelines will enter into force two months after the publication of the translations

Mount lacrosse loses semifinal in overtime
Sudden-death overtime goals strike the losing team like a dagger in the heart, and this one was no different. Visiting Mount St. Joseph Academy never trailed during regulation play during last Monday's Athletic Association of Catholic Academies lacrosse semifinal, but with the fifth tie of the afternoon, host Villa Maria was able to force the match into overtime.
Hurricanes junior Elise Bendinelli circled out around the crease to score 64 seconds into the first overtime period, clinching a 14-13 victory. Villa would look forward to a clash in the finals with Merion Mercy Academy, while the Mount Magic would wait for the outcome of the playoff seeding meeting for PIAA District 1.
Merion, the unbeaten top seed in the league, defeated number four Sacred Heart, 16-8, in the other AACA semifinal. Villa came into the playoffs as the second seed with a league record of 9-3, while Mount St. Joe was the third seed, at 8-4. The Magic lost twice to Merion and Villa in the regular season, but the second game against the 'Canes had come down to the final seconds.
Mount wins gold medal sweepstakes at Stotesbury
At the Stotesbury Cup Regatta last weekend the rowing royalty was wearing purple. The Mount St. Joseph Academy Magic had plenty of opportunity to display their school colors as they paraded past the awards dock to collect four gold medals.
Racing in some of the most hotly-contested categories, Mount St. Joe finished first in the lightweight eight, junior eight, second eight, and senior eight (see separate article), winning the most gold medals of any school at the annual extravaganza, which is the oldest and largest high school rowing event in the world. Previously, the Mount's most successful outing at Stotesbury was in 2006, when the Magic won three gold medals and one bronze.
Six Stotesbury finalists, two medalists for CHASS crew
Of the 13 boats entered by the Chestnut Hill Academy and Springside School crews at last weekend's Stotesbury Cup Regatta, 10 advanced out of the qualifying round on Friday and half-a-dozen went all the way through to the finals.
The highlights of the finals on Saturday afternoon were silver-medal performances by two Springside entries, the lightweight double and the senior quad. No other Girls Inter-Ac League school claimed more than one medal at the regatta.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Baby_x3 Comfortable and stylish In love with this shoe!! So comfortable It feels like nothing's there, I use them to workout (run) and it makes my workouts easier. They're also simple and black so they will go with any gear! The only problem is they do kind of run big I recommend to get a half size smaller unless you like your shoe a little roomy.

Discussion in 'Hunting Europe' started by Shotgunspud, Jan 16, 2012.
Just some of the Roe Bucks taken by Clients.
very nice roebucks, they are my absolute favorite animal to hunt here in europe, so graceful, just like the fine antilopes of africa.
Thanks for sharing.
Roebuck is on my bucket list. They and Red Deer scream europe for me.
Some very nice bucks there
I keep all the "trophies" from all the roebucks I shoot. Small or big. I just love them all
My wife is not happy about them at all and thinks 1 is more than enough to put on the wall...
Well we have both my friend.
From this morning ...
Novel trophy. Congratulations.
Very nice. Congratulations.
I love the photos. I am always intrigued by the antlers.

Best Bistros in Paris (Chez Denise, L'ami Louis or Aux Lyonnais)
We are coming to Paris for two days and want to eat at one of the best bistros.
I have heard great things about Chez Denise, L'ami Louise and Aux Lyonnais... anybody feel strongly about any or a different one that I should really consider?
L'Ami Louis is three times as expensive as Chez Denise. Both are wonderful, in their own category. L'Ami Louis is like a three star restaurant as regards the quality of ingredients and cooking. Chez Denise, is that sense, is a much more authentic, blue-collar (sort of) bistrot.
Aux Lyonnais is not bad. It's the Ducasse soulless interpretation of a bouchon, his homage to *les mères*. Always makes me feel like his "homage" was about beating them up and running away with their recipes. But there's no danger of enduring the mood of the owners or staff Aux Lyonnais, a very real risk with the other two options.
re: souphie
Souphie does haver a bit of jaundiced view on Ducasse. But IMO Aux Lyonnais is a fine restaurant and I have always enjoyed myself. Best advice is to book for the later sitting as it is more local with less visitors.
re: souphie
The last time I was at Aux Lyonnais I had such a terrible meal that it really felt like Ducasse had beaten up the mères, run away with their recipes and omitted to give them to the kitchen crew before he left.
l think your choices, at least the first two are spot on, why not go to both. The reason L'Ami Louis is 4x as expensive is their wine list is awesome and expensive. Food at Louis for 2 will be about
250 euros and you will be able to eat about half, their portions serve 4 easily, Chez Denise will cost you around 100 euros for 2, an advantage at Chez Denise is their house wine, a brouilly from their vineyard in Beauolais costs 28 euros a liter and you are charged for what you . If l had only two meals to eat here those two are in my top five.

- A hidden away gemNanabananaDined on 9/18/2014Never would have guessed it would have been so good, but it was definitely worth the money. We ordered great cocktails to start, and the bread basket was amazing. The caesar salads were delicious, and the 22 oz. rib eye was wonderful. Dessert was great. All in all, we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Awesome! Best Filet anywhere!WaversDined on 8/19/2014I have eaten here twice so far. I had scallops and the filet the first time and lobster and filet the second. I do not normally order steak anywhere I do not like the fat, don't like biting into it, and really eat seafood because there is no fat on it. The filet here at the willows is the most tender and flavorful I have had anywhere, hitching post included. It is so good! I would order it without the seafood! Liked the artichoke and crabcakes also as starters. The bread basket is great though I don't like the crunchy breadsticks. Creme brulee dessert was good too. My husband had bison and loved it. Also loved the scalloped potatoes! So good! Great atmosphere! Accomadating and great staff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/11/2014Willows is a great find within the Chumash Casino. It is nice to take a break from gambling and enjoy a quiet atmosphere and delicious meal. I totally recommend this gem.Special Features:

- Amazing dining experienceCentralCoastDinersDined on 7/29/2014Who knew we had such a gem right here on the Central Coast? We have so many great restaurants, right? But this is fine dining at it's best. Excellent service, an amazing menu with such a great assortment of delicious choices, a calm, quiet atmosphere, a nice view. The prices are in line with the amazing food and excellent service. We will definitely be dining here again. As often as we visit the Chumash Casino, we ask ourselves, "Why didn't we dine here sooner?"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectionSLOFoodieDined on 7/11/2014Great food, great service! It is a wonderful culinary experience before the concert. The breadbasket was served with an artichoke spread, roasted garlic, herbed cheese spread & whipped butter....delish. I had the melt in your mouth short ribs in a Syrah sauce with polenta and a glass of Cambria Syrah. Dessert was a tiramisu & coffee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/6/2014Our server, Natalie, was terrific! She was attentive, engaged and personable. Everyone who stopped by to help at our table was top notch! It was my husband's birthday, and he really appreciated the kind attention.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 94 reviews are from the Willows at Chumash Casino reviews archive.
- peaterDined on 5/30/2014I have been to the Willows before and enjoyed when it opened years ago. I was surprised by the few tables occupied during the recent Saturday night we dined here. The menu selection is ample, but the WOW factor is missing. Don't get me wrong, the dishes we ordered from appetizers, entrees and sides were very good----but that's about it. They were presented and tasted in a way one would expect. For the prices, one would expect to be surprised or appealed by an avant-garde presentation. It seems the chef needs a more creative side in order to uphold the four diamond rated designation. On the other hand, the service was impeccable and all staff working that night went out of their way to provide a very accommodating dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Less than expectedgnmcDined on 3/27/2014Service great, protiens over cooked. If the steak that I ordered way Wygue (as offered), I will eat my shoes. The steak was very tough... Not expected from a rib eye.
- dinner before concertOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/27/2014Reservation was for 7 and we were seated right then. Appetizer was very good (artichoke). we then ordered dinner entrée and thats where things went wrong, It took almost 20 mins to get our order. I ordered the "special" Halibut filet. It came out overcooked..after waiting several min for waitress to come by, I finally was able to get a managers attention. Told him issues, however with our schedule to make the event, I declined to wait. I did eat some of the veg and mashed potatoes that accompanied my fish. We got our bill and I noticed that I was charged full price for the entree ($40). I felt that there should of been some discount .... but oh well.Special Features:
- A must try restaurant!MjsylvestDined on 3/9/2014Was absolutely surprised to find that this casino restaurant was as nice as the upper scale ones here in California. The service was incredible. And i cant even begin to say how awesome the food was. Everything we ate from the appetizer to dessert was out of this world goid! Hats off to the chef--even your food presentation was rediculously good. We have eaten in the "fine" dining restaurants of casinos, but NEVER was even remotely close to this one. I dont even remember Ruth Cris being this good. I cant recommend this restauraunt enough-----will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Setting the Stage6TeesbeingDined on 3/6/2014On those treasured opportunities when my wife and i can get away for a show at The Chumash, we look forward to an always memorable dining experience at Willows. The evening wouldn't seem complete without it. The atmosphere is bustling enough to add a sense of excitement for the show, while at the same time, allowing us to relax and forget about the drive and the day. The food is fantastic and the servers are always accommodating, keeping in mind that you've got a show to catch, yet we never feel rushed. We keep promising ourselves that one of these days we'll postpone the drive back to reality and stay the night so we can return to the Willows Bar after the curtain closes and extend the evening with a nightcap.Special Features:

- New Years Eve Specialbeentheredonethat2Dined on 12/31/2013We were at Willows at the Chumash Casino on New Years Eve. They had a special menu, rather than the usual menu, altho, they did have many of the usual offerings. They had brought in the yummy Australian lobster tail which was excellent, with garlic potato cakes and asparagus. Three of us ordered the lobster and it was excellent. Someone else ordered filet, which they really enjoyed, and they own a restaurant, so that says alot and the last person ordered halibut and loved it. We had an excellent dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible experience.DonEDined on 12/24/2013We have been patronizing the Willows for years, entertaining as many as ten people at some dinners. This experience was the very worst we have had at what used to be a 5 Star restaurant. We were seated right away but I had to ask for a bread tray. I remember when the wait staff used to be excellent, servers like Robert (who is no longer there) were attentive and masterful in service. My wife's lobster was mushy, my filet was overcooked and the onion rings were absolutely terrible - they have better onion rings at IHOP- nothing was done to alleviate the situation, even though it was mentioned. We probably won't be back. Ruth's Chris is closer and dependable.
- once a yearsparkyDined on 12/13/2013me and my girl friends have a get together once a year and we always dine at the Willows restaurant which we love.

- Willows at Chumash Casinodasha626Dined on 11/2/2013The service was excellent, by both the waiter and bus boy.

Very unique.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner before the showDinnerDined on 11/1/2013This is a steakhouse. Noise level high, but conversations were comfortable. Food was tasty, but lots of salt..not salty. I recommend the corn side dish and the bread pudding.

Thanks for the great Birthday dinner experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

"I was a cheerleader and danced my teens away, so I never thought about working out. Then I got an office job where I sat and snacked all day long. I really packed on the pounds. The panic point came when my best friend got married in June 2006. I was over the moon to be her bridesmaid -- until I had to order my dress in a size 16.
"That was it. I started doing some exercise DVDs before dinner two to four times a week. As for my dieting philosophy, it was simple: Eat real food. I steered clear of processed snacks and fast food.
"I hit my goal in February 2007 and have kept up with my healthy habits since then: I still exercise at home, eat right, and weigh myself often to make sure I'm on track. I'll never be the rock star in the front of the gym class, but at least I can wear my mismatched sweats to work out and nobody sees me!"

Engineers invent a magnetic fluid pump with no moving parts
Developed in the 1960s by NASA scientists seeking a non-mechanical method for moving liquid fuels in outer space, ferrofluids are made up of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in liquids such as oil, water, or alcohol. Though numerous industrial, commercial, and biomedical applications for ferrofluids have since been created, the original goal-to pump liquids with no machinery-remained elusive, until now.
"The ferrofluid pumping scheme we demonstrated is simple, robust, and very inexpensive," says co-author Leidong Mao, a former graduate student in Koser's lab, currently with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Georgia. Their approach, Mao notes, could lead to highly compact, integrated, quiet, and efficient liquid cooling schemes for portable, high-performance consumer electronics. For instance, ferrofluid cooling would eliminate the need for fans and heat plumbing inside computers, enabling further miniaturization. "Your laptop could be twice as thin and a third lighter and faster with more efficient cooling," Koser says. >continue<
One wonders about possible applications in aerospace, fuselage, re-entry surfaces, etc.

For the first time since before most people were born, Washington DC will host playoff baseball
10/2/12 in MLB | Pat | 5233 respect
Last year, they moved up to third, possibly a foreshadowing of what was to come in 2012.
This year, they've just clinched the NL East, and are competing with the Reds for the best record in baseball. There hasn't been playoff baseball in Washington DC since the Washington Senators in 1933, but now they're back.
It has been largely due to their incredible pitching rotation. Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann head into the playoffs as a potent 1-2 punch, and Ross Detwiler has been a pleasant surprise. Stephen Strasburg was also phenomenal, but he's out for the season thanks to some abysmal planning that resulted in him being shut down for the season on September 7.
Their lineup has been solid as well, with Ryan Zimmerman turning it on in the 2nd half, along with Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond, Adam LaRoche, and Mike Morse having solid years.
With the return of Drew Storen in the bullpen after the All Star break to go along with newly established closer Tyler Clippard, they have a formidable set of relievers.
Manager Davey Johnson has done a great job guiding this young team to success. They lead all of baseball in run differential, they have the best team ERA in the National League, and the Cardinals are the only potential NL playoff team that outscored them.
Right now, they have as good a chance as anyone in the National League, and it should be interesting to see how they compete against teams that have far more playoff experience.
Do you think this is the Nationals' year? Will the loss of Strasburg be their undoing? Can they overcome their nerves and inexperience to make some noise in the playoffs? No matter what, it should be fun to watch.

Americans' use of medical services has not yet rebounded during the weak economy, health insurers say, in a trend that keeps the companies' costs down and could bolster their profits further this year. Read here

The Bethlehem Apostolic Temple held their annual Easter basket giveaway Saturday.
Church officials said the baskets held enough food to help families get through the next few weeks, not just Easter Sunday. Those who show up can find hams, turkeys, and vegetables to fill the baskets.
The church works with other organizations to hold several giveaways throughout the year, recognizing the need to help those in our community who find themselves struggling. In past years, 300 to 400 people have shown up for the giveaway.
The giveaway started at 11 a.m. Saturday inside the church's community center at 330 N. Main Street in Wheeling and lasted until the supplies run out.

USB controlled missile cams are, to say the least, old news. They were however a hot topic a number of years ago, and if you were to look back you'd fine them littered across the web from gadget blog to gadget blog. So with some trepidation I present to you the Axniper, a USB controlled sniper rifle complete with a video camera (that appears to be from 2005).
Surprisingly, the linked page is fairly detailed when it comes to the USB Sniper turret. But what you'll really want to know is that is can apparently fire a .12g to .2g BB at almost 100fps. Impressive. The camera is of VGA quality, and apparently works in tandem with their very own app that is said to assist with aiming – how, I don't know. Effective range, despite the BB's decent velocity, is just 8m, though I wouldn't have expected much more since it's not gassed powered. One last note: the Axniper is only compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 machines.
You can buy it for about $100 from this Japanese retailer.

Atlanta Santa's Recessionary Moves
Bah, humbug -- I guess even Santa's buckling under the recession.
Vivian Manning-Schaffel: According to the Peach Buzz blog from the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Atlanta's popular Phipps Plaza Mall is slapping double-booking and no-show parents on the wrist with a $15 pose fee -- of which only $10 goes toward the purchase of your photos. The remainder covers their website and credit card fees -- you know -- the very tools that enable them to charge you more money. Oh, and advance online reservations begin today, October 7, at santaatphipps.com.
They explain this act of high-douchery with this message:
"We pride ourselves on our service and the products we offer to our customers. Over the last few years, our Online Appointment System has become extremely popular and convenient, but in 2008 we experienced almost 500 "No-Shows" and/or "Multiple-Bookings" (families who booked more than one appointment but only showed up for one without canceling the second).
"In an effort to eliminate this and make sure as many families get to visit with Santa each season as possible, we will be charging a $15 appointment fee at the time you book your appointment online.
"We are confident that this will help eliminate the problem, thus making more appointments available for all of our new and existing customers."
Or, it will piss them off enough to go to another mall.
Um, charging for mall Santa photo-ops? It's not like the pix are a bargain, but if you're trying to recoup costs, why not just hike up the cost of the photos five bucks?
And what message does this send kid believers? Surely some of them will learn of this charge. Aren't cookies and milk enough anymore?
What's next? He'll expect a tip in their stockings? Charge shipping for bulky gifts?
I expect a lot of Atlanta's kids'll be half-expecting to find coal under the tree.
|Vivian Manning-Schaffel has written for Babble, Parenting, The Advocate, The New York Post, Business Week and a variety of other publications and lives and works in the heart of breeder Brooklyn with her husband and two kids. She authors two pop culture blogs: The Mad Mom and A Hag Supreme, and is on the web at vivianmanningschaffel.com.
I can hear it now: "I can't get to talk to Santa, we can't afford it." Nice. Douchery, indeed. If I lived in Atlanta - and had more money than I do - I'd be giving every kid who was told they couldn't afford it $15 just so they COULD sit on Santa's lap. What a rip-off. Hopefully they get enough static from this stupid idea that they'll drop the policy before Christmas actually rolls around.
Do they charge for kids who just want to sit on Santa lap and tell him what they want for xma but don't want pictures? I have done it both ways with my kids. I think they should just increase the price for the pictures and not do an online reservation…make them stand in line forever like we used to do before computers.
I'm not sure about the "extra" $5 fee, but charging a nonrefundable down payment makes sense to me. As a photographer myself, a no-show is not only a huge inconvenience and waste of my time but I also lose the revenue I would've made had they only cancelled and allowed me to book someone else into their spot.
Charging to sit on Santa's knee?? Shame on you. Requiring people who have made a committment to follow through (or at least TELL you that they aren't?) that's just good business.
In my opinion you are mistaken. Let's discuss. Write to me in PM.
I think that to get the mortgage loans from creditors you should present a firm motivation. However, once I've got a term loan, because I wanted to buy a house.

Instead of individual pancakes, consider whipping up the jelly-roll pan-baked Pecan Pancake with Caramel-Apple Topping. This pancake is the perfect solution when servings 6 or more people. The Caramel-Apple Topping would be good over ice cream, too.

Samir Ghanem Promises to Return Next Ramadan
Egyptian veteran comedic actor Samir Ghanem is currently finding himself very busy reading a script for two new series.
Both scripts, not surprisingly, are comedies. The first is entitled Ja'alouni Mutriban (They Made me a Singer) and the second is Al Dunya Khutout (Life is Lines).
While the former takes on the problems of rising singers and singers with no talent, while the latter speaks of 'calculations' within the society.
In an interview with Al Sharq El Awsat newspaper, Ghanem said that he is genuinely disappointed that he was not able to accommodate his fans this Ramadan.
The actor, who was scheduled to appear in two shows found out late last month that both series had to be cancelled because of technical difficulties.
Ghanem went on to express that he misses the small screen in Ramadan but promised his fans a great performance in Fatouta, next year.
He added, "I am ready to go back to the screen as the character Fatouta, next Ramadan. But, I will also promise to surprise my audience with a completely different character and a new idea to the role. "
The actor said that the quirky character will now become an out of work director who is constantly followed by failure.
Ghanem also expressed his love for the Islamic holy month saying "Rmamdan, to me is a fruitful season. I have great memories in it that are very dear to my heart." – Albawaba.com.

I'd have to go with Kira.
Banagher is a natural enemy to the newtypes such as Amuro or Kamille so he should technically be able to take them down. The NT-D system should also be effective against Kira's funnels but Kira's Strike Freedom has so many other weapons it might not be as effective as it was against the newtypes, plus it may not work at all seeing as Kira isn't technically a new-type. I don't think he would win though because I imagine everyone'll target Banagher first given his formidable abilities to screw over so many people.
Heero's got a very good system in the Zero System but the Wing Zero itself just couldn't compete with the likes of the far more agile gundams such as Strike Freedom. The Gundams in Wing seemed like they had far more amour and good take more a beating but weren't that fast.
Domon will get taken down because every other gundam can take to the skies and just rain down pain on him. IIRC God Gundam isn't really known for flying around and is a close range fighter.
Kira's has SEED mode which gives him a big advantage plus Kira's just an amazing pilot in the first place. He could take down entire armies while ensuring all the take downs were non lethal. That takes so much skill it's unreal and I don't think any other pilot has shown anywhere near as much skill. Also remember that the MSs in Seed seemed to fire lasers and Kira could dodge them all with ease. The MSs also seemed much faster than the ones seen in UC, AC or other universes with the possible exception of the AD universe of 00.
It's hard to say how powerful Qan T 00 was because I don't think we really saw much of it IIRC. I don't remember much about the movie but it was said that the Gundam could've taken out the entire ELS army if it had chosen to do so.
I don't know much about V Gundam either.

Once we receive your Registration Form, here's what happens next.
Please note - time frames are in general terms and may be different for your student since we accept rolling enrollment throughout the year.
The Registration Form is processed and confirmed via email receipt. Clonlara Registrar requests student records from previous school - if applicable.
A Clonlara Advisor is assigned to the student. Clonlara sends the student a learning style assessment (high school level only), interest survey, a student ID card, and login information for the Clonlara Commons web portal (for completing online forms, viewing transcripts. etc.).
Additional materials depending upon which program a student enrolls in will be sent, for example: A Home Based Program Elementary Guide, A Home Based Program Secondary Guide, An Online Program outline of next steps.
The Student completes and submits the learning style survey (high school level only) and the interest survey to their Advisor.
Parents call to schedule an initial consultation with the student's assigned Advisor. Consultations are usually by phone but can be held in person if you are within driving distance of our offices in Ann Arbor. Before the consultation, both the parent and student review the Clonlara Education Guide and develop questions. They also bring their ideas about specific classes and curriculum materials that they want to study to the meeting.
During the initial consultation, the parent, student and Advisor collaborate together on developing an educational plan for the year (or semester.) The Advisor supports the plans and goals of the family and can make recommendations on ways of approaching learning, resources and materials to use, and ways to track progress. The Advisor can also do research to find additional resources to support specialized coursework that the student plans to undertake. Students and parents gather materials and resources.
With information gathered from the consultation, the Advisor creates a Summary Plan outlining what the student is planning to focus on for the semester. Students implement their educational plan, keep track of their learning and contact Advisors for help as needed. Advisors check in periodically to see how things are going.
For grades K-8, parents submit semi-annual progress reports to Advisors (twice each year in January and again in May). At the high school level, students submit Credit Request Forms online for Advisor review and approval. See the Home Based Education Program calendar for specific due dates.
The Registrar maintains student records and puts approved high school credits on transcripts. High school transcripts may be viewed online at the Clonlara Commons. Clonlara will generate elementary report cards upon request.
Enroll now before October 15th tuition increase!

Get new ETF-focused insights on strategic beta, dividend investing, emerging markets, and more from the 2014 Morningstar ETF Conference.
Since our first ETF Conference in 2010, the exchange-traded fund industry has continued to grow and evolve. ETFs are attracting an ever-larger share of assets as investors seek low-cost, passive investments, and a slew of new products has expanded the space from plain-vanilla equity index funds into more exotic products. But how can investors navigate this increasingly complex landscape to build better portfolios and position themselves in today's market?
This year's conference, Sept. 17-19 in Chicago, will shed some light on ETF investors' best practices today, including panel discussions about the rise of strategic-beta funds, how to best invest in fixed income using ETFs, where it may pay to hire an active manager, and how to tap emerging markets.
Keynote speakers will include Nobel laureate Eugene Fama and BlackRock's Russ Koesterich.
For those who can't attend this year's event, Morningstar.com will offer on-the-spot coverage and commentary, including video interviews with the presenters and session recaps.

Special Report: What You Need to Know About 'Strategic Beta'
As a growing number of new ETFs straddle the line between active and passive, investors are faced with a dizzying array of increasingly complex choices. Here's the compass you need to navigate. Download the Full PDF Report.
Koesterich: This Bull Market Can Survive Higher Rates
The U.S. economy and stock market should be able to absorb a measured rise in rates starting next year, but investors should expect subsequent raises to come soon after, says BlackRock's Russ Koesterich.
Peters: Know What You Want From Dividend ETFs
There can be good reasons to own dividend-focused ETFs, but investors looking for pure income may be better off in individual stocks, says Morningstar's Josh Peters.

Calm Weather Today...Stormy Midweek

The good news: Today will be a great day with a lot of sunshine and highs in the low 40s.
The bad news: We have some messy weather moving through for the middle of this week. At this point, it looks like a mostly rain storm, but we could see some mixing or freezing rain inland at the start. We could also see some lingering rain showers into Thursday, but Friday into the weekend looks dry! Check out the video above for more details on the mess for the middle of the week.

There's been a lot of speculation about what will happen next year when businesses have to offer workers health insurance or pay a fine under Obamacare.
Will they just take the penalty to avoid the higher costs of providing health insurance, will they find ways to skirt the fine or will they get lucky because the penalty won't trigger?
Well, the answer is potentially yes to all of the above. Here are a few scenarios.
Under the Radar
The employer mandate under the new federal health law requires businesses with 50 or more full-time employees to offer affordable health insurance.
If they don't, they could face penalties from $2,000 to $3,000 per employee. The key word here, though, is could.
In order for that penalty to trigger, a worker has to apply for and receive a government subsidy to buy insurance on the state health care marketplace or exchange. That's the place where people who don't have – or can't afford to buy – health insurance can shop for coverage.
It only takes one employee to do this, but if no one does…the company doesn't have to pay the fine.
Dodging the Bullet
Businesses only face the penalty for full-time employees, those working 30 hours or more a week. So a business (remember this doesn't apply to small companies) could cut an employee's hours to below 30 a week and avoid the penalty.
Labor groups report this is already happening at some large retail and service industry chains. There was even proposed California legislation to head this off that I reported on for KQED Public Radio, but it failed to get enough votes in the Assembly last week.
If a business doesn't want to cut existing workers' hours it could decide to only fill part-time positions. While the boss would avoid the Obamacare fine this way, she could still rack up costly expenses by having to hire more workers.
Biting the (less expensive) Bullet
Some companies are saying forget about getting around the penalty. They'll just opt to pay the fine because it's still cheaper than the average cost of health insurance for an individual, about $6,000 a year.
The law states that the amount of the penalty is calculated after the first 30 full-time employees. A business with a total of 50 employees, for example, would pay a fine for 20 workers, less than half of its employees. This could be substantially less expensive than offering health insurance to all of them.
So the seemingly simple concept of "boss doesn't offer insurance, pays a fine" is a little more complicated than that.
Luckily the Kaiser Family Foundation has a flow chart to break it down for us. But, yes, it does require a flow chart.
Even with this tangled web of "what ifs" around the penalty, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the government will collect a good chunk of change from these fines.
In its latest projection, by 2023, employers will pay $140 billion in penalties for not offering their workers affordable health insurance.
That's more than three times what uninsured individuals will likely pay in fines.
