Nasal Relief with Xylitol Nasal Spray
Xlear Nasal Spray is a combination of Xylitol and saline nasal spray that has shown to be effective in soothing and moisturizing the sinuses and nasal passages.
The Xlear Nasal Spray line contains Xylitol, purified water, salt, and grapefruit seed extract as a preservative. Using Xylitol nasal spray allows them to have a hyper-osmotic solution which helps pull moisture toward it. This action keeps the nasal passages and sinuses moist and clean for a much longer time than saline alone. Xylitol is the ingredient that sets their nasal spray apart from all of the other nasal sprays on the market.
The Xlear Nasal Spray line is all natural products, they do not use chemical antihistamines or decongestants that can leave your airways and sinuses dry. When your sinuses and airways are dry it leaves them vulnerable for increased infections.
Xlear is a patented, non-addictive nasal spray designed to aid in the relief of irritation caused by pollutants, allergens and germs in the nasal passages.
It is the ONLY nasal spray that has combined an effective amount of XYLITOL and the health-promoting practice of a saline to help wash, hydrate, and moisturize the nasal passages.
Xlear Nasal Spray Benefits
Directions for Use: Clear the nasal passageway by gently blowing your nose prior to using Xlear. Remove the safety clip on the bottle. Prior to initial use, prime the pump by holding it upright and pumping 1 or more times into a tissue until the solution is dispensed. Insert nozzle into nostril and depress pump completely while breathing in through your nose. Spray 1-2 times in each nostril. Use preventively as often as needed to cleanse nasal passages and sinuses. For best results, use at least twice daily. The metered nasal pump sprayer provides a precise amount of the soothing spray in a fine mist. Wipe nozzle clean after each use and replace cap.
Active IngredientsPurified water, xylitol, saline, grapefruit seed extract (preservative).

Legislation that would triple funding for the state's research and development tax credit program — a key issue for Maryland business leaders — has returned in both the House and Senate.
Similar legislation died in the House last session after passing the Senate, 46-0.
The bill got caught up with budget talks during the late hours of the session last year, said Gene Burner, president of the Manufacturers' Alliance of Maryland, a coalition of manufacturing companies that operate in the state. He said the measure should have a better chance of approval in the 2013 session.
"I think it will get a better look by the House this time," Burns said. "It has a good shot this year to pass."
HB386 and SB203 would increase the maximum amount of research and development tax credits that may be granted annually from $6 million to $18 million. It also would allow a refundable credit for small businesses, which would help those companies that don't yet have income.
The program has been dominated by large businesses, according to a legislative analysis. Having more funds available would spread the funding to smaller businesses, as would the refundable credit, Burner said.
Brian Levine, vice president of government relations for the Tech Council of Maryland, added that his trade group strongly supports the bill.
"Improving the research and development tax credit is the top priority in our legislative policy platform," he said.
The refundable credit would help many biotechs as they are developing, Levine said.
The current cap has not been increased since the program was created in 2000, while Pennsylvania has more than tripled its program funding to $55 million since then, according to a legislative analysis.
Del. Kumar P. Barve (D-Dist. 17) of Gaithersburg sponsored the House version, while Sen. Nancy J. King (D-Dist 39) of Montgomery Village sponsored the Senate bill. They didn't return phone messages seeking comment.
Hearings are set for 1 p.m. Feb. 13 in the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee and 1 p.m. Feb. 26 in the House Ways and Means Committee.
Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Garagiola (D-Dist. 15) of Germantown and Del. Aisha N. Braveboy (D-Dist. 25) of Mitchellville said Thursday during a conference call with the media that legislation they plan to file to raise the state's minimum wage has already gained more support than similar measures had in previous years.
The planned legislation would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.25 in July, $9 in July 2014 and $10 in July 2015. The minimum wage for employees who rely on tips would also rise to 70 percent of the minimum wage from 50 percent.
Garagiola said about 20 senators have agreed to co-sponsor the bill, more than in 2011. Braveboy added that at least 40 delegates have pledged support.
"I'm optimistic about its chances," she said. "We have a number of small businesses on our side."
The Restaurant Association of Maryland's government affairs committee and Maryland Chamber of Commerce are among the business groups that have raised concerns about raising labor costs when health care costs and others are increasing.

000 WTNT41 KNHC 102031 TCDAT1 TROPICAL DEPRESSION ANA DISCUSSION NUMBER 12 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012015 500 PM EDT SUN MAY 10 2015 Surface and radar data indicate that Ana is moving farther inland. The estimated intensity is 30 kt, and these winds are confined to the coastal areas of North Carolina. Continued weakening is expected, and the system should degenerate into a post-tropical remnant low within 24 hours. Although a forecast track is shown through 48 hours, it should be noted that the global models show the system degenerating into an open trough sooner than that time. In any event, the remnants of Ana are likely to be absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone over Atlantic Canada. The initial motion estimate is north-northeastward, or 020/4 kt. The steering flow associated with a large mid-level trough to the west of Ana should cause the cyclone to turn northeastward with some acceleration over the next day or two. The official track forecast lies between the dynamical model consensus and the latest ECMWF solution. This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on Ana. Future information on this system can be found in Public Advisories issued by the Weather Prediction Center beginning at 11 PM EDT under AWIPS header TCPAT1 AND WMO header WTNT31 KWNH.

Edited again... :) I have received lots of questions about the elastic thread:
- You can purchase it at almost any craft store that stocks sewing notions.
- Wind the elastic by hand around your bobbin. Don't wind it too tight; just wrap it securely without actually stretching the elastic.
- Only your bobbin will hold the elastic thread. Use regular thread for your top thread!
- Don't try to thread your machine and sew with elastic thread as the top thread... that will be a mess.
- I used elastic thread regularly and it has never hurt my machine.
Happy sewing!

Recap | BoxscoreKennesaw State nips ETSU in game two, 5-4
Saturday, April 23, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 22, 2011) - The ETSU baseball team dropped its sixth straight contest as Kennesaw State rallied for four runs in the seventh to defeat the Bucs 5-4 Friday night in game two of the series at Cardinal Park.
KSU's Bryan Blough logged his second straight complete game as he struck out a career-high 14 batters en route to his third win of the year, while senior Bo Burton (Kingsport, Tenn.) was tabbed with his third loss after giving up five runs on ten hits in 6.1 innings with five strikeouts and three walks.
The Owls (24-18, 11-8 A-Sun) outhit the Bucs (22-15, 11-10 A-Sun) for the second straight game, 10-7. Catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) led the way offensively for ETSU as he was the only player with multiple hits going 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI.
Ethan Herron gave the Owls a 1-0 lead in the top of the second as sent a solo home run over the left field fence.
The Bucs tied the game at 1-all in the bottom of the fourth on Paul Hoilman's (Johnson City, Tenn.) tenth home run of the season as he hit a mammoth shot to left. Two batters later, Trent sent the second homer of the inning to left center to give ETSU a 2-1 advantage.
Kennesaw State plated four runs in the top of the seventh to recapture the lead, 5-2. After an RBI double by Aaron Dobbs, Andy Chriscaden deposited a three-run homer to left center for his 11th home run of the season.
Trent notched his second home run of the night in the bottom half of the frame as he crushed a 2-1 pitch to right for a two-run homer to cut the KSU lead to 5-4.
Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) was phenomenal for the Bucs in relief as he came in with one out in the eighth and threw 1.2 scoreless innings of relief striking out four batters.
In the bottom of the ninth, ETSU put runners on first and second with one out after a single by Trent, but Blough bore down and struck out the next two batters to close out the contest.
The Bucs and Owls are set to close out the series tomorrow at 1:05 p.m. as ETSU will look to avoid the sweep. For more information on Buccaneer baseball, visit ETSUBucs.com or follow the Bucs on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ETSUAthletics.

Hi Science Buddy volunteer.
My 3rd grade daughter is doing the science project "What melts ice fastest?" She's tested table salt, black pepper, sugar, and sand. She's run the experiment twice now, and she's at tallying and analyzing her results. We followed the equations given with the project. 1. (Mass of melt water)/(initial mass of ice cube)x100. 2. (Remaining mass of ice cube)/(initial mass of ice cube)x 100. She found that there are times when pepper, sugar, and sand have over 100% remaining ice. This was consistent both times she did the experiment. All of the substances we used followed a descending pattern both times she did the experiment. For example in the first test pepper's %of ice remaining went 103.2, 103.2, and 93.54.
We are stuck trying to explain how something can be over 100%. Here are our questions
1. Is the higher percentage of ice remaining due to the weight of the substances used?
2. If question 1 is true, then why is table salt different?
3. Since sugar and salt dissolve in water, why doesn't the sugar react the way salt does?
4. What changes or modifications do we need to make to the equations that will justify we're getting the correct measurements for the ice. OR does that not matter and we simply need to note what's affecting the higher percentage rate?
Thank you so much for your help!

We'll openly admit that we never opened an issue of Playboy until its most recent Marilyn Monroe cover hit stands. And, even though we're not exactly the mag's demo, we spent hours poring over it (the articles only, people!). Turns out, we kinda get those "academic content" excuses men are always throwing around — there's enough intriguing conversation fodder inside to get us through the rest of the holiday season.
But, whether you embrace the glossy or still find it objectifying and raunchy, there's no denying the mega rebrand going on at its fresh Beverly Hills global HQ. Long gone are the days of tacky reality TV stars and grotto gauche. After going private last year, the company is heralding its more high-brow roots. And we found the three-story bunny bureau to symbolically reflect the "modern heritage" revamp, housing Eames chairs from Hef's old Windy City offices and iconic Warhols from back in the day, all set against cozy Restoration Hardware couches and contemporary lacquered credenzas. Flip through our swanky tour, and you may just be tempted to sign up for your own subscription!

Conservative Canadian a Top Contender to Be Pope
Cardinal Marc Ouellet once said that being pope "would be a nightmare." He would know, having enjoyed the confidence of two popes as a top-ranked Vatican insider.
His high-profile position as head of the Vatican's office for bishops, his conservative leanings, his years in Latin America and his work in Rome as president of a key commission for Latin America all make him a favorite to become the first pontiff from the Americas.
But the qualities that make him popular in Latin America - home to the world's biggest Catholic population - and among the cardinals who elect the pope have contributed to his poor image in his native Quebec, where ironically he was perceived during his tenure as archbishop as an outsider parachuted in from Rome to reorder his liberal province along conservative lines.
EDITOR'S NOTE: As the Roman Catholic Church prepares to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, The Associated Press is profiling key cardinals seen as "papabili" - contenders to the throne. In the secretive world of the Vatican, there is no way to know who is in the running, and history has yielded plenty of surprises. But these are the names that have come up time and again in speculation. Today: Marc Ouellet.
By many accounts, Ouellet (pronounced Well-et) is not beloved in Quebec, where friends say he struggled following his appointment as archbishop in 2002. His comments condemning abortion even in the case of rape were attacked by politicians and commentators - sometimes viciously.
Some worry that the election of another conservative, intellectual pope known for his impenetrable speeches would further damage a church that is fighting losses in membership in Europe and North America due to growing secularism and sex abuse scandals. But the number of believers is growing in Africa, as well as Latin America.
Bookies give weight to Ouellet's accomplished resume when listing him among the top three likely future leaders of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
The 68-year-old Ouellet "knows a lot of people and a lot of people know him. And when I mean people, I mean those who count, the cardinals," said Anne Leahy, a former Canadian ambassador to the Holy See.
He is particularly well-regarded among cardinals from Latin America, a part of the world that is home to 40 percent of the world's Catholics. If the Latin American cardinals can't agree on one of their own, Ouellet's extensive experience there - he spent more than 11 years in Colombia - could work in his favor once the cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope.
Speculation that Ouellet could one day be pontiff started as early as 2003 when Pope John Paul II named him cardinal. His name came up after John Paul died in 2005, but he was considered a long shot because of his young age. Ouellet has since added to his resume.
Benedict XVI brought Ouellet to Rome to head the Vatican's office for bishops in 2010. It's an influential post that vets bishops' nominations worldwide. Ouellet also serves as president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, extending his influence over much of the Western Hemisphere.
"Cardinal Ouellet is a very powerful holy man," Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto told The Associated Press in an interview. "He has been in South America. He's fluent in Spanish, he's fluent in Italian, French, English and German. And he's experienced in two different congregations in the Holy See. He's been a bishop. He's a scholar of the first rank. You put it all together and he's just a wonderful man, so you can see when people think of a pope they think of Cardinal Ouellet."
Born in the small town of La Motte, Quebec, Ouellet got his vocation to enter the church during a time of reflection after he broke his leg playing hockey. He was ordained in 1968 and taught in seminaries in Canada, Rome and Colombia.
His many accomplishments include a license in Philosophy from the St. Thomas Aquinas Pontifical University and a doctorate in dogmatic theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University, both in Rome.
Friends said his career stalled in 1994, when he went from being the rector of the prestigious Grand Seminaire de Montreal to the head of a seminary in Edmonton, Alberta.
Being a Quebecois who spoke poor English worked against him in Western Canada. But longtime friend Bishop Lionel Gendron, Ouellet's former superior who sent him there, said the experience was ultimately good for him because it improved his English.

At nearly 18 months old, The Magdalen Chapter hotel has quickly established itself as the place to go in Exeter. Formerly the West England Eye Hospital, the hotel how occupies the large red brick building situated just five minutes by foot from the heart of the city centre. The building has been sympathetically renovated, retaining many original features whilst adding plenty of twenty-first century comforts.
The Magdalen Chapter is owned by Chapter Hotels, who have a sister hotel in Cheltenham. Down in Exeter, there are 59 bedrooms, a library, a bar, a spa, pool and gym, and of course, the dining room. We arrived at around 9pm on a Friday night and found the hotel buzzing. The bar was lively, with the evening in full swing, and plenty of people coming into the hotel to drink and dine.
We stayed in a feature room – one of the largest rooms in the hotel. We were shown up to our room by Richard, one of the duty managers who was very welcoming. Once we'd been shown around the room, we were handed an iPad which would be ours for the duration of the stay, and can be used to play music and find out most things you need to know about the hotel.
Our room was large with two bathrooms – one with a bath and the other with a shower, which were particularly luxurious and equipped with REN products, which are made locally in Devon. Technology is a feature of the rooms, as we were able to listen to the TV and music in the shower room. We also had a control panel through which we could play our own music. Our room had a complimentary mini bar, containing some beer (which we swapped for wine, being wheat free), soft drinks and chocolate, and we had a Nespresso coffee machine, too.
The Magdalen Chapter restaurant sits at the back of the hotel in a large conservatory overlooking the gardens. Head chef Ben Bulger, formerly Head Chef at Riverford Field Kitchen, is guided by TV chef and restaurateur Simon Hopkinson, who acts as a consultant at Chapter Hotels. Their focus is on cooking locally sourced, seasonal British food.
Whilst we stayed, we enjoyed an evening meal and breakfast. We did find breakfast a bit chaotic whilst we were staying, but the food was very good indeed. The choices available for breakfast offer a wide selection of interesting and tasty hot dishes. The food was very good indeed – great quality ingredients cooked really well. The service did let down the experience though – unfortunately when we visited, it was rather un-coordinated and a waitress took our menus away from us within five minutes of us having sat down, without taking our order. We had to then get up and retrieve our menus from the table on the side of the dining room. We also had to intercept our breakfast items from being served to other tables twice.
Our dinner experience was a lot better – the food was absolutely delicious and the service was charming. Technology weaves its way into the dining room here too, as diners are presented with an iPad wine list. It may sound gimmicky, but it was quite a straightforward way of choosing wine – by the glass, by price and so on.
I finished our stay with a 30 minute massage at the in-house spa with Jade, one of the therapists. It was absolutely lovely and Jade was a delight, running me through the range of REN products in great detail.
All in all, we had a very pleasant visit to the Magdalen Chapter. The communal rooms are lovely spaces in which to relax and the restaurant and spa are excellent. It is worth noting that there is very little parking – the car park was full and double-parked for the duration of our stay, and if you can't get in, parking is around £7 a day in a nearby car park. We would recommend it as a comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Stress Management: 2005
Physical Stress
Physical stress is easy to quantify and measure. Your physician has various high-tech and low-tech tests and methods to measure the effects of physical stress on your heart and other organs and systems in your body. We can measure your blood pressure, see if your weight is causing stress on your heart and joints, and have you perform an exercise stress test to see if your lungs are functioning optimally. We also know exactly what limits of physical stress you should subject your body to each day. Aerobic exercise at 70-80% of one's maximal capacity for 30–40 minutes for at least 3-4 days per week is recommended to improve health. Too little exercise contributes to obesity and a depressed immune system, as well as a whole host of other physical problems. Excess physical stress can lead to musculoskeletal injuries or heart problems.
Mental Stress
Mental stress is not as easy to assess. You may know it when you feel it—in your personal life and in your professional life. It creeps up on you when you get stuck in a traffic jam on I–95; it becomes a daily presence when you have a crunch deadline at work; and it explodes in your body if your life is threatened by an oncoming truck.
A certain amount of stress is healthy. However, chronic mental stress, which may be difficult to recognize, can lead to generalized fatigue, anxiety and depression and may make you more susceptible to a host of chronic diseases.
The Fight, Flight or Freeze Response
Mental stress also has an effect on your body. It's all about the "fight, flight or freeze" response, which has been hard-wired into human brains since we were cavemen and -women. When you sense a dangerous situation, your brain automatically determines what to do and you are instantly ready to act. You may fight (if you're physically attacked, for example), flee (if you discover your room is on fire), or freeze (when a car comes at you as you start to cross the street) to save your life. These are instinctive physical responses to stress.
How are you able to respond so quickly, almost without thinking? Quietly and immediately inside your body, a cascade of hormones floods your system to allow you to respond with as much strength, speed, and skill as possible. Your heart rate, breathing and blood pressure increase; your blood platelets become stickier (to allow your blood to clot faster if you are cut); your muscles tense up and you flip into a heightened state of awareness where your senses—vision, smell, hearing—become more acute. Your digestive and reproductive systems shut down and you are prepared: to do battle, to run for your life, to hold perfectly still—whatever is needed. Perfect—if your life is in danger!
Chronic Low Levels of Stress
But what if this internal chemistry is activated again and again during a typical day when you experience stress? When you run into traffic on I–95, a slow cashier at the grocery store, a line at the bank, a healthy kid who parks in the handicapped spot, or a work situation or relationship that is chronically stressful. Then you're constantly in a state of heightened readiness—how exhausting!
In stressful situations, some of us experience that "road-rage" fight response. Some of us freeze with a plastic smile while inside our blood is boiling, and some of us flee, or rearrange our personal lives to avoid any potentially stressful situations. Still, no matter how you internalize it, physically experiencing chronic stress leads to a whole array of common illnesses and diseases, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, an altered immune system, loss of bone mass, suppression of the reproductive system, memory problems, low back pain, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, and obesity. Quite a list!
In fact, it is estimated that upwards of 60 percent of all doctor visits are stress-related. In the work force it is estimated that more than $200 billion is spent annually on stress-related absenteeism, sub-par performance, tardiness, and worker's compensation claims related to stress.
Stress Management 2005
What can you do about your stress overload? Take the time to learn how to manage stress. It will lead to improved physical health, mental clarity, clearer focus, and greater creativity.
Tried and true techniques, such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga, relaxation and cognitive behavioral therapy, have been used for centuries to help train the mind to relax, rest, and think clearly. These techniques can foster the introspection it takes to discover what your particular stress factors are and learn how to respond and cope with them. If you have the discipline to practice these skills frequently, they will have beneficial physical and mental effects. You'll find that learning to manage your stress becomes just as important as your 30 minutes of exercise each day.

Gallery: Blazing Fast Peugeot EX1 Concept is a Record-Setting Electric ...
The Detroit Auto Show boasted several awesome electric sports cars, but here's one noteworthy EV that didn't make an appearance, Peugeot's EX1. Powered by two electric motors, one attached to each axle, the EX1 has an impressive 340 horsepower. The super sexy EV concept debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and has gone on to break six speed records for electric vehicles.
French explorer Nicolas Vanier and Chinese blogger Han Han drove the vehicle during the record-setting event, which took place at China's Chengdu military airport in the province of Sichuan. Officially, Han Han blasted the previous records for the eighth mile sprint and the quarter mile run with respective times of 7.0862 seconds and 12.6754 seconds. Vanier established a new unofficial record for the 0 to 100 kmh (0 to 62 mph) sprint for an electric car with a time of 3.49 seconds. In total, the EX1 matched or surpassed five previous records set by electric vehicles during the event.

The design world has seen its share of daredevil cantilevers lately—Rem Koolhaas' CCTV building in China, Jean Nouvel's Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis—but to install one in a suburban back yard takes guts. Disregarding the neighbors' early misgivings, the architects at the Australian firm Jackson Clements Burrows went ahead with this showstopping 1,700-square-foot extension to what was once a 1,000-square-foot Edwardian-style home outside Melbourne. And the gamble paid off. "There's always that paranoia initially, not to mention a struggle with the extent to which you can defy gravity," says partner Tim Jackson.
For the architects, known for their ability to maximize space with glass balconies and creative façades, the aerial scheme was a way to sidestep a building code that restricted how close they could get to the property's edge. And for the clients—two doctors with three young children—it was a way to nearly triple the indoor acreage without sacrificing the lawn. The cantilevered structure also provides shade and shelter, welcome features for the region's blazing summers and wet winters: "It has a veranda effect, extending our living room out into the garden, which we hadn't really appreciated," says owner Georgie Pettigrew. For additional cooling, the exterior is accented with perforated window shutters that filter the sunlight. When they're closed, the owners can see out but no one can see in, a feature that inspired a new name for the house: Trojan.
Though the wood paneling helps to unify the extension visually, a split personality is part of the project's appeal. With the original early-20th-century house left almost fully intact, it's business up front and party in back—viewing the home from the street, you'd hardly know that the architects had been there. Because the supports for the cantilevered floor could be planted right into the original living foundation, there was no need to rip up the addition's space—making for a relatively sawdust-free experience that anyone who has renovated a home can envy.

Alright guys it is time to get the FCDGC back up and running and we need record numbers and active participants. Do me a favor and let me know who is interested in joining the local club and pass the word to your friends who play CP. You can also join the Facebook page Central Park (GA) Disc Golfers. http://www.facebook.com/groups/172775191548/. I will speak with Dave about the club and also Nathan Skinner to see if he can design a disc we can use for fundraisers.
We need members, we need a strong and active board and we need an overall acceptance to do more work and be more active. Central Park is too nice of a course to let be neglected. I am fully willing to do as much as I can from Suwanee to assist.

24-70L plagued with some fluorescents?
July 23, 2005, 08:20:51 AM »
I've seen this hysterical thread as well.
Ask yourself this...
This lens has been out for years.
CFL lighting has been out for years.
Many hundreds of thousands photographs have likely been taken by many thousands of photographers with this lens under those lights, and this is the first time that this issue has been raised.
Think as well about the issue itself. A lens misfocusing because of the spectral characteristics of the light source. Humm. The autofocus sensor and mechanism is in the camera, not the lens. The lens simply has a motor to move the elements. Can the light source be affecting the motor?
Perhaps? But I kind of doubt it.
Typical DPReview forum hysteria, if you ask me.

I am planning to buy a Canon 24-70L lens and saw this topic in dpreview forums:
The DPReview forums can be safely dismissed as the
National Enquirer
Weekly World News
of photography forums. The person talking about the "flicker" of incandescent bulbs as if that was a significant factor in focusing with that sort of lighting is typical, as is the people talking about the "autofocus mechanism in 24-70L". There is no such thing, the autofocus mechanism is in the camera except for the motor that moves the lens elements. The components in the body are responsible for judging focus accuracy and deciding which way the lens should move, and how far. The lens motor simply does what the body tells it to do, and plays no role whatsoever in the decision-making process. And the fact that those people never once thought to take into account the DOF difference between f/2.8 and f/4-5.6 when comparing focus results from the 24-70 and the 28-105 is worth noting as well. If there is a hardware problem, it is most likely the 24-70 and the particular body being slightly mis-focus-calibrated in the same direction, which will be more noticeable in the low light levels associated with compact fluorescent lights than other, brighter light sources. But it could very well be a simple case of attempting to use the 10D AF in light levels below what it is designed to autofocus accurately.
To those who think that the fluorescent flicker is a factor in the problem, I'd like to point out that the "focus assist light" of the 10D/20D is nothing more than the flash being pulsed, which in spite of being far more "flickery" than fluorescent lighting manages to work quite well as long as the subject is within flash range. The 10D and 20D AF systems are designed to AF using transient pulsed light sources as well as continuous lighting and still work effectively.
In addition , I have a 24-70/2.8L and have made tens of thousands of images with it with a combination of 10D, 1D-MkII, and 1Ds bodies (mostly the latter two), in a wide variety of light sources and brightness levels and have never observed a link between AF performance and a particular light source, only between brightness and AF accuracy.

Thank you jani for spending so much time on this subject. As I see from your shots, they are not tack sharp.
The area in focus is pretty sharp, given the lighting conditions, and that two are at maximum aperture. Apparent sharpness really suffers from the direct and indirect light, this is why the mantra goes "use a lens hood - at all times".
Also keep in mind that I haven't done any sharpening (or used similar techniques), anywhere.
I've taken the same shot with a lens hood, just to show how different this can look, at f/2.8:
If you're thinking of the softness, then yes, I expect it to be slightly soft at its widest aperture.
Have you compared those shots with some taken with a conventional bulb? Does 24-70 behave differently then?
I dug out a 60W bulb from the closet to check. Though it's 33% or so brighter than the other one, in one case I had apparent back-focusing at f/2.8 when the light was aimed at the camera. When the light was aimed at the bookshelf, it appeared slightly better. But the results are not consistent enough. Perhaps I should blame the light in the ceiling, that's fluorescent ...
In other words, the images doesn't show anything particularly different with or without CFL.
I also tested with my EOS 650 (yes, that first of the series film bodies). The brighter and larger viewfinder makes it easier to check focus. What I saw was that at the point I chose to focus, it was easy to provoke a slight nervousness in the camera's autofocus by moving the camera slightly sideways. This is also detectable by watching the focus indicator on the lens. I re-tested this with the 20D, and the same effect is apparent.
So maybe I didn't tighten the panning screw enough, for instance. If you look closely at my 100% crops, some movement clearly has happened between shots (the 100% crops are not perfectly aligned, though they should be because I used save/load selection).
Another error source is that when the lamp points at the camera, it also points at the eyes that are trying to verify the focus.
My main concern is whether other cheaper lenses take sharper pictures under CFLs as claimed there.
Well, those cheaper lenses won't give you f/2.8.
Here's a similar crop from an image taken with the 28-135 at f/5:
michael, I am not really concerned whether the spectrum of CFLs causes the problem or their flickering. And It doesn't matter how the AF mechanism operates. What is important to me is confirming or refuting what is claimed in that forum. If confirmed, I will know that 24-70 has some limitation not discussed yet. And if refuted, I will be happy that it has not that limitation. I think that in both cases I will buy one. As I said, it has proved to be a decent lens.
I think it's safe to consider it refuted that this lens model has some special problem. I certainly don't see this problem of apparent back-focusing crop up often. As I have just demonstrated through further testing, it may just as well be inaccuracy in the center focus point of the camera or inaccuracy on part of the photographer, though not inaccuracy in measuring the distance.
And after all, worse things happen at sea, you know:
(70mm, f/5.6, 1/125s)
Source of problem: photographer (not that I had the time to refocus, it was a moment). The camera could only have saved this one if it was psychic.

I am planning to buy a Canon 24-70L lens and saw this topic in dpreview forums:
I know it is a decent lens. But I want to take many shots under CFL lighting. Almost all of the lamps in my house are CFL.
Has anyone here noticed the problem described in that forum? Or, can those owning this lens take some shots with CFL lighting and check whether the problem really exists?

I can certainly see why this issue doesn't warrant taking a lot of time, and why people might call this a waste of time -- yours and mine.
Well, I took the time -- for once -- to read a bit more of the thread on that other site, and it seems that at least some posters thought of Michael's objections.
The response was, in brief, that it might have something to do with the coating of the lens elements. And that at least one person had a "good" sample.
But still, it's only speculation, and as Michael mentions, this lens isn't exactly rarely used among photographers.
I find the lack of information from some of them disturbing:
- Which f stops did they use?
- Did they use a UV filter?
- If so, of which quality?
- And did they retest without a UV filter?
- Did they take their lens out of the fridge before shooting at 70% relative humidity?
- Have they scrubbed their lenses with sandpaper? Who knows.
Okay, the last two may be out of line.
So I decided to set up a test shot myself (and I certainly don't blame anybody else for not doing this):
- EF 24-70mm f/2.8L
- Tripod
- Compact fluorescent bulb (IKEA brand) in desk side lamp
- Poor ambient lighting
- Bookshelf at ~1m distance
- AF set to single point center
To ensure that those ominous IR rays would have a chance at disturbing the autofocus, I didn't use a lens hood. No UV filter, either.
I took four shots with the self-timer and mirror-lockup at ISO 100, 70mm, whereof two at f/2.8 and two at f/5.6, and of course I refocused between each shot. Two of these were with the lamp aimed at the lens at an angle that didn't put the lamp itself in the view:
I used PS CS2 with the most recent ACR, camera white balance, all other adjustments zero (not auto), prophoto RGB. Resized in CS2, 100% crops from CS2. Converted to 8bit, then sRGB with relative colorimetric and dither. Converted to JPEG with save for web, JPEG maximum quality (the 300x200 minis are in medium quality). No, I didn't bother to do anything in CS2 except that.
Image 1 (f/2.8, lamp aimed at camera, 0.3s):
Image 2 (f/2.8, lamp aimed at bookshelf, 1/30s):
Oops, out of focus?
Yes, it appears to have back-focused slightly. The first f/2.8 shot was similar, but to a lesser degree.
Image 3 (f/5.6, lamp aimed at bookshelf, 1/8s):
Image 4 (f/5.6, lamp aimed at camera, 1.3s):
I can't really say that any of these images show any evidence of the problems that people claim in the DPReview forum. But this is my lens and my camera. *shrug* My guess is that it is the photographers having focusing problems.
That being said, I had an interesting experience with my 20D and 24-70L myself yesterday evening. I was out shooting around the abundant forest roads in Maridalen, Oslo, hoping to capture some scenes I saw while on a bicycle trip earlier in the evening. There had just been a rainfall, and I thought "cool, that will finally let me capture how greenery looks just after rain".
The 24-70L consistently back-focused. On subjects 2-3m away, it insisted on focusing at more than twice that distance (close to 10m according to the lens). Weird. Perhaps I'll see a hint when I look at the raw files later.
In other situations, the camera and lens have been behaving in a predictable manner.

Thank you jani for spending so much time on this subject. As I see from your shots, they are not tack sharp. I mean they confirm what has been claimed on dpreview forum. Do you really expect 24-70 mounted on a 20D with tripod to behave as in the second shot, even at f2.8?
Have you compared those shots with some taken with a conventional bulb? Does 24-70 behave differently then?
My main concern is whether other cheaper lenses take sharper pictures under CFLs as claimed there. If so, I will keep my 28-135 IS happily without spending so much on a shorter range zoom. But I am kidding. as michael says, this lens has proved as a good one for a long time.
michael, I am not really concerned whether the spectrum of CFLs causes the problem or their flickering. And It doesn't matter how the AF mechanism operates.

And if refuted, I will be happy that it has not that limitation. I think that in both cases I will buy one. As I said, it has proved to be a decent lens.
I really do not expect time consuming precise tests as jani has kindly done. If someone has a 24-70, he/she can take two shots under both types of lights. I mean CFL and conventional and compare the two shots. If any significant difference is noticed, please let me and others share your finding.

Thank you jani for your patience in solving my problem. As I said before, I am going to buy this lens regardless of what has been said about it in that forum. You have convinced me not to worry about its speculated shortcomings and no one can ignore tons of data about its superiority over other lenses in its class.

Over the years i have put together a collection of expensive tools for my personal garage. Welders, plasma cutters, lathes, mills etc. Since it is all stored in my personal garage and used for personal use only my home insurance policy will not cover it. What are you home/hobbyist guys doing to protect your tools?

Most homeowner policys have a max of 5000 in tools. In order to insure my tools, both on my srv truck and shop i had to pay for added policies on my business insurance. Only way i found to do it.

most insurance companies will insure a particular item, or collection of items, for an additional cost, on the ho policy
Insuring Tools
Everything is insurable at a price. If your home owners caps off you need to get an Additional policy, if you want the coverage.

I couldn't get my insurance to cover hand tools, but I did get them to cover larger items. Each item had to have a serial/vin number, and had to be individually listed on the policy.
I even tried to get them to insure hand tools with a $1k or $2k deductable. I don't want to claim one or two tools that I loose. I just want to claim if a theif wipes me out. Still no go for hand tools. I have way more invested in tools than I have in welders/equipment so I wasn't happy.

Sharing Hope Initiative History
Click here for a complete list of all NAMI sites who piloted or have taken part in grant implementation and evaluation of Sharing Hope.
Sites selected to receive grants this year were tasked to pilot and help develop a newly created coordination and networking portal via Microsoft SharePoint. All former grantees were also welcomed into this pilot group and a total of 11 sites have been given access to participate and test out the Sharing Hope Coordinators' Portal to determine whether it will be more broadly used in the future. Of the participating sites, three were chosen to receive grant funding for the first time this year:
2011-2012 Grantees
For the first time, Sharing Hope grants were made available to sites previously funded in interest of helping sustain successful efforts. On April 1, 2011 we welcomed nine new grantees considered 'start-up sites' and five 'sustainability sites,' returning grantees from previous funding years:
* denotes sustainability grantees
2010 Implementation Grantees Selected
The 2010 grant sites were selected in March to work with the Multicultural Action Center to expand and continue to evaluate the Sharing Hope initiative:
• NAMI Central Virginia
We congratulate these sites and enjoyed working with them as well as all NAMI state organizations and affiliates working with the Sharing Hope initiative. All NAMI sites working with Sharing Hope are supported by the Multicultural Action Center and receive technical assistance upon request.
Implementation Grants
NAMI selected eight NAMI state organizations and affiliates to expand and evaluate its Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health. Each of the selected sites received a small Sharing Hope implementation grant to cover the costs associated with implementing and providing program evaluative data back to NAMI.
An article entitled, "New NAMI Toolkit Reaches Out to African american Congregations," by Sally Osmer, Executive Director of NAMI Mercer was featured in the Spring 2009 issue of the Advocate. Click here to read the article (note, you must sign in to your NAMI account to do so).
Pilot Program
The Sharing Hope presentation was piloted in Atlanta at the True Light Baptist Church (NAMI Georgia), the Galilee Baptist Church in Trenton (NAMI Mercer, N.J.) and the United Church of God in Christ in St. Paul (NAMI Minnesota). Revisions to the toolkit and the presentation were made based on feedback from these pilot sites and evaluation results.
African-American Faith-Based Initiative Advisory Group Formed
A 15-person advisory group has formed consisting of pastors, NAMI leaders and other experts from around the country. The group first convened at the NAMI office on February 25, 2008 to go over plans for the project and offer feedback and recommendations. The Multicultural Action Center continued to work with the advisory group through the completion of the outreach and education toolkit program.
NAMI State Organizations, NAMI Affiliates and other individuals with experience working with African Americans in faith-based contexts also provided input to the Multicultural Action Center, identifying successful program models and key issues to consider during the development and implementation of this program.

I have just bought a second hand car, and I have the feeling that the clutch is worn out. How can I do a quick clutch sanity check ?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for mechanics and DIY enthusiast owners of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
With the vehicle stopped, and in a safe place, start out in 4th gear, and slowly release the clutch while giving the engine gas.
If the clutch is in good condition, the car should stall - if there's any slipping, you'll probably feel it, and should disengage the clutch right away to prevent further damage.
If the car happens to start going without stalling, then chances are that the clutch is good as well.
Alternatively, get to highway speed in your highest gear and floor it. If the RPMs shoot up, you've got slippage.

Throw OB here move up a tee and rethrow with penalty. Throw OB on another hole and throw from drop zone 30 feet from the basket even if you went OB 200 feet away. Miss the mando on the same hole and retee with penalty. The whole thing was quite confusing.

When decoding strings from the database, make sure the input was encoded with the correct charset when it was input to the database.
I was using a form to create records in the DB which had a content field that was valid JSON, but it included curly apostrophes. If the page with the form did not have
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
in the head, then the data was sent to the database with the wrong encoding. Then, when json_decode tried to convert the string to an object, it failed every time.


text: Dean's Welcome Why choose Le Moyne College? One reason is that as a college accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), we are committed to the highest standards associated with professional business education. And while that is compelling, it does not fully address what distinguishes a Le Moyne education from others. As a Jesuit college, we are deeply committed to the Jesuit ideals of intellectual rigor, cura personalis (care of the whole person), and service to and for others. Le Moyne is a community of scholars, educators and leaders bound by a common vision of excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching, research, and experiential learning. More than ever, business educators must prepare a new generation of innovative, globally aware leaders. Toward this end, we strive to imbue our students with the ability to understand, discern, and lead as they address the most pressing issues of our times. No matter the business discipline, our graduates are equipped to respond to the needs of a changing world – through their classroom experience, collaborative learning venues with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and leadership experiences at home and abroad. "Educating the whole person" is both an end in itself and a means to becoming the leaders of the future. Le Moyne College graduates look at the world through a distinct prism, reflect on their opportunities in ways consistent with our Jesuit heritage, and become dynamic forces for the social and organizational change so urgently needed. With our outstanding foundation of teaching, scholarship and service, we are poised for extraordinary advances in visibility and impact on the regional, national and global stages. Our hope is that, as a Le Moyne business student, you will measure success by experiences that change your life – that "aha moment" delivered by an inspired professor, a study abroad experience that alters your world view, or an internship that crystallizes a career path. We are committed to helping you to define your own path to success. We are committed to 21st Century leadership. Jim Joseph Dean, Madden School of Business
