A New Way to See the World
You were born to expect a miracle today
What if I told you I'm certain you missed a miracle yesterday? And not just any miracle but one that Heaven wanted to do through you to significantly change someone's life for the better–maybe your own?
I would understand if you were doubtful.
But right alongside that doubt, most of us can identify a nearly universal experience. Almost everyone in the world–whatever their religious belief–can point to an event in their lives that seemed directly orchestrated by Heaven, that seemed impossible to explain without using words like "I can't believe what just happened! That was a miracle!" We call these experiences divine coincidences, miracle moments, supernatural provisions.
Whatever we call them, we tend to value such events so highly that we recount them over and over, often for years. "I'll never forget the time…," we say, or "Sooner or later my daughter is going to tell you about…"
Why do we remember such events so clearly? I think it's because we feel that we have been touched by Heaven. It's as if God Himself stepped through the curtain that separates the seen from the unseen to make something wonderful happen for us, something only He could do.
But here's the best part. In the experience we hear a personal and unforgettable message from God. Something like, I'm here. I care about you. I can do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Beginning with this near-universal experience, this book asks a few simple but intriguing questions:
• Why are these experiences of the miraculous so rare for most people?
• What if Heaven actually wanted you to experience them on a regular basis?
• What if ordinary people like you and me are invited to partner with God to deliver miracles to others?
If these questions put a picture in your mind of people everywhere walking around expecting to be a part of miracle moments on a regular basis, you're not far wrong.
A mysterious encounter
Let me tell you about a mysterious encounter I had in a restaurant outside Denver with a waiter named Jack. I call it mysterious because on the surface everything looked so ordinary. Five friends at a table for six, waiters coming and going, voices, clatter–just what you'd expect in a busy restaurant. But by the time dinner was over, we all knew beyond a doubt that we'd been present for a divine appointment.
It was as if God Himself had walked up and said, "Thank you for saving Me a place. I've been wanting to do something for Jack."
Here's what happened.
During the course of the meal, Jack had served us well. But apart from the usual exchanges about the menu and our orders, we hadn't spoken much. Around the table, meanwhile, the conversation revolved around some of Jesus'more extreme teachings–ones like "Ask, and you will receive" and "It is more blessed to give than to receive." During the conversation I felt unexpectedly nudged by Heaven to try something I'd never done before. At the same time I sensed it was meant to involve Jack.
My experiment involved putting three hundred dollars "at risk." Now, don't let the amount throw you. The money wasn't mine, and believe it or not, the person who was letting me carry it around was expecting me to give it away. (But more about that in a later chapter.)
When Jack came by to refill the water glasses, I posed a question. "Have you ever heard the saying 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'?"
"Yes, I have," he said.
"Do you believe that?"
"Sure, I guess I do," he said, looking puzzled.
"Good!" I said. "I have an interesting opportunity for you." I placed a hundred-dollar bill on the table. "You have an unusual choice, Jack. You can either receive this hundred dollars as a gift, not a tip…"
I paused. I definitely had Jack's attention, and the two couples with me
didn't appear to be breathing.
I looked at Jack. "Or you can say no to the money and instead give each of us a dessert. But this would be you buying the desserts, not the restaurant. You can't do both things, and there's no right or wrong. So what would you like to do–give or receive?"
Jack just stood there holding the water pitcher. He asked twice if I was serious. Then finally he said, "I'll take the hundred dollars."
True to my word, I handed him the bill.
"Thank you!" he said. Then he walked back to the kitchen.
After he left and my friends started breathing again, we all tried to figure out what had just happened. Was my unusual test about giving and receiving even fair? What was Jack thinking now? And what in the world was he saying to the crew in the kitchen?
All the while I was feeling increasingly uncomfortable. You see, earlier I had slipped another two hundred dollars under my plate. If the waiter had chosen to buy us desserts and not take the hundred–believing that it is more blessed to give than to receive–I was going to give him the hidden two hundred dollars. I had really hoped he would make the self-sacrificial choice because I'd strongly sensed that God wanted to encourage him with the larger sum.
The next time he came around, I said, "I'm curious, Jack. Do you feel like you made the right choice?"
"Absolutely!" he said excitedly. "In fact, it was a miracle. You see, I'm a single dad." He pulled out his wallet and proudly showed us a photo of his three-year-old son. "Isn't he something!" he said with a big smile. Then he explained his reaction. "I have to work three jobs during four days of the week just so I can take care of my son the other three days when my ex-wife works. But I'm having a tough time making ends meet. Just this morning I had to mail my alimony check of a hundred dollars even though my account was down to zero. Driving to work this afternoon, I actually prayed, 'God, please! I need an extra hundred dollars, and I need it tonight!' "
Well, I was speechless, and so were my friends. How could we have known of our waiter's crisis or of his prayer for a hundred dollars?
Then it was my turn to explain. I told him that even if he had decided to give instead of receive, I'd planned to give him the hundred dollars. "But now that I know your story, I agree. You made the right choice."
Suddenly I knew what needed to happen next. "You have to know that none of this money was mine," I told him. "The owner wanted me to pass it on as a kind of message to the right person. And I'm sure that person was you."
I reached under the plate for the other two hundred. "Obviously God wanted you to have the hundred dollars, and He wants you to have this too."
What God thinks is normal
What just happened here? Let's break it down:
• Jack drove to work that evening to wait tables, but he brought
with him a secret, pressing need.
• I had come to Colorado from Atlanta on business and ended
up having dinner with friends in Jack's restaurant.
• Unbeknown to Jack or my friends, I was prepared to meet
someone's financial need with money that wasn't mine.
• By the end of the evening, God had used one person to deliver
something that met a big need for another person–and in a
way that was clearly miraculous to everyone involved.
You might react differently to what happened around that table. You might think, for example, Well, I don't have a hundred-dollar bill lying around. And if I did, why would I give it to a stranger? For that matter, how would I figure out whom to give it to?
We'll look closely at these reactions and more like them in the pages ahead. You'll see, I promise, that God is just as likely to have plans for five dollars or twenty dollars as He is for a hundred dollars and that He never asks you or me to serve Him in a way that doesn't fit us personally and perfectly.
For now, though, put yourself in the story of our dinner with Jack. Imagine how you would have felt leaving that table and knowing you had played an active role in delivering God's provision for a young man's desperate need. Better yet, imagine a lifestyle of such encounters, where God works through you in unexplainable ways to do a miracle–and on a regular basis.
This kind of life is not only possible but is what God thinks of as normal when He thinks of you.
You see, He did not place you on this earth to notice Him at work only once or twice in your whole life. He did not create you to consistently miss out on the wonder of His presence and power.
The truth is, you were born to live a supernatural life doing God's work by God's power. You were born to walk out your door each morning believing that God will use you to deliver a necessary miracle today.
This book will show you how.
The Everyday Miracle Territory
When it comes to miracles, most people I know see the world as divided
in two.
On the far left is a region we could call the Land of Signs and Wonders. In this land amazing miracles seem to happen a lot, although only for a select few. Mostly this world reveals itself on television, in a few unusual churches, and in faraway places. Still, Signs and Wonders is a remarkable place. In this land the blind regain their sight and invalids throw away their canes to run around like school kids.
On the far right is the Land of Good Deeds. Nobody is putting on a show here. Fortunately, though, the place is full of good people watching out for each other, doing good works. And certainly God is pleased with that.
Interestingly, in Good Deeds land a lot of people believe in miracles and spend time studying them. They just don't expect to actually see any miracles, much less be a part of them on a regular basis. When they praise God for miracles, they're grateful for things that occurred long ago. Good Deeds land doesn't dazzle like Signs and Wonders, but things are more manageable there. More predictable.
What's the one big disadvantage in good Deeds land? God rarely shows up in a supernatural way. Why would He? No one is expecting the miraculous, and besides, everything is running just fine. Or so it seems.
Which land would you say you live in most of the time?
A large majority of people live in the Land of Good Deeds. Even though some would say they have experienced meaningful personal miracles in the past–at a point of spiritual awakening or in a time of crisis–they believe those experiences are rare. More important, they believe we don't have a role in whether one happens again or not, so there's no point in leaving the house today on the lookout for one.
What I want you to realize is that if you live in either land I've described, you've overlooked the most promising region of all. You see, between the dazzle of Signs and Wonders and the duty of Good Deeds lies a broad and promising middle ground.
In this book we call this in-between land the Everyday Miracle Territory. Here people believe that God wants to intervene–and does–in supernatural ways in human affairs on a regular basis. Here unmet needs are seen by ordinary people as golden opportunities for God to show up, and to do so through them, at almost any moment. They're not waiting for special powers for themselves or for God to part the skies on their behalf. They have experienced miracles and know beyond doubt that miracles are for them and others like them, right here and right now.
Those who live in the Everyday Miracle Territory have already made two
startling observations.
One is full of hope. Everywhere they look, in every situation, they see potential for an unforgettable "God-incidence"–not a coincidence but a moment when God steps in to meet a real need through them in a way that only He can. Some days it actually feels as though God has a pile of miracles ready to be delivered!
Their other observation is full of dismay.
They are nearly alone.
Would you agree that few people today are living in Everyday Miracle Territory? I wrote this book to help you see that the land of personal, everyday miracles is your rightful home turf. Instead of focusing on the nature defying acts that God is able to do, this book invites you to encounter the miracles that God does do on a regular basis–and to embrace your exciting part in partnering with Him to make them happen.
You'll discover that what God chooses to depend on for these divine encounters is simply a willing servant. No previous experience required. No record of perfection. No special religious gift or qualification. In this book we call these refreshingly ordinary folks "delivery agents" for God. They are men and women who say to Him, "Please send me to do Your work by Your power today!"
That's exactly what Jimmy said.
Jimmy the "delivery guy"
Jimmy is one of the most down-to-earth men I've ever met. He can fix anything, find anything, make do with anything. You're stranded with a handful of folks on a desert island? You want Jimmy in the handful. You want to program your iPhone to walk your dog? Jimmy's your man. Just don't ask him to spend time over tea talking about relationships or contemplating the meaning of the universe.
The first time Jimmy heard that he could cooperate with God in supernatural events on a regular basis, he thought, Not likely.
He worked in construction, after all, not ministry. He struggled to come up with even one time in the past ten years when he could say with certainty that the supernatural had clearly showed up. The idea of a lifestyle of miracles felt about as real to Jimmy as taking a road trip through an asteroid belt.
But over the course of a You Were Born for This conference, Jimmy realized that he really did want to learn how to partner with Heaven to do God's work on earth. Taking a big step into the unknown, he committed himself to being God's delivery agent when and where he was called upon.
The next morning, while Jimmy was dropping off windows at a job site, he struck up a conversation with a carpenter named Nick. Nick let it be known that his marriage was on the rocks and that he didn't hold out much hope. He just seemed to want to vent.
Normally Jimmy would have expressed sympathy for a man in that kind of misery, then quickly steered as far away as possible from such a sensitive topic. This time, though, Jimmy hung in there. He listened, identified with Nick's struggle, asked a few questions. Then, sensing that the man's heart was open, he asked a simple but miracle-inviting question he had learned at the conference: "Nick, I really want to help you. What can I do for you?"
Without hesitation the carpenter said, "You could tell me what to do next. I'm tied up in knots, but I really want this marriage to work."
Jimmy panicked. Tell another guy how to fix a relationship? Not likely! But he took a deep breath and then took an outrageous step of faith. "Why don't you get something to write with," he told the carpenter, "and when you come back, I'll tell you how to save your marriage."
The truth was, Jimmy was stalling. He didn't have a clue what he was going to tell Nick. But as he explained to me later, he was holding on to a couple of things I had said at the conference: "Relax, the miracle is God's to do, not yours" and "Give God a minute." Something or Someone seemed to be leading the way in this conversation with Nick, and Jimmy was determined to follow.
When the carpenter returned, Jimmy heard himself saying, "You need to go home and make your bed."
Jimmy had no idea where that had come from or what good it was. "That's all have to say," he told Nick apologetically. "I guess you don't even need to write it down."
But the carpenter was staring at Jimmy with his mouth open.
"How did you know?" he gasped. "That is a giant source of conflict for us! I'm the last one up, and I never make the bed. My wife says it's a sign of everything that's wrong with the marriage. I don't get it. But you know what? I'm going to drive back at lunch and make the bed before my wife gets home."
To me, this story demonstrates God's willingness to do a personal miracle if we are willing to deliver one. Nick wasn't expecting help from a stranger. And Jimmy didn't think he had help to give. What he had, though, was a readiness to pass along what God prompted him to say.
But the best thing the story shows is God's heart. He cares about the personal struggles of a carpenter named Nick–and He wanted Nick to see that. He cared enough to show Nick a practical step he could take that might say more to his wife than a love letter and just might turn things around for the couple.
All He needed was Jimmy, delivery agent.
Doing what God wants done
You might be like Jimmy, completely unprepared and unqualified but ready to try something different. You may have grown up in the church and have a long list of religious accomplishments to point to. You may be like Nick, uncertain that God exists or that He cares for you. But Heaven works in ways that seem to apply no matter what our spiritual mind-set happens to be.
Perhaps you've heard about my book The Prayer of Jabez. It shows how a little-known prayer from three thousand years ago can still result in great blessing and influence for God in our time. Millions bought the book, prayed the prayer…and were astonished at what God began to do in their lives. One reason the message of that book resonated with so many, I believe, is that it made ministry (which simply means doing what God wants done in the world) accessible as a way of life.
Jabez lived in ancient Israel. The Bible says that he was "more honorable than his brothers," but as far as I can tell, it wasn't because of his superior spiritual status. Perhaps he was "more honorable" because he asked with all his heart for God to do for him and through him exactly what God already wanted to do.
And the Bible says, "God granted him what he requested."(1) Through the prayer of Jabez, millions learned to ask God to expand their territory of influence for Him and then to put His hand of power on them. Not surprisingly, as soon as they took these brave steps, people started seeing miracle opportunities all over the place. And thousands wrote excitedly to me to report what was happening.
Here's what I want you to see: The Prayer of Jabez showed ordinary people how to ask God to greatly expand their opportunities to serve Him. You Were Born for This shows ordinary people how to be intentional about and skilled at inviting the miraculous into the midst of that larger life.
Think of You Were Born for This as Jabez to the miracle power.
For all the Jimmys and Jabezes in the world, this book reveals in practical terms how God works supernaturally through His willing partners to make a difference in people's lives. It's the most rewarding and significant life imaginable!
Wouldn't you know it, in answer to my own prayers during those years, God expanded my territory beyond anything I could have imagined.
He sent our family to Africa.
When good deeds aren't enough
In 2002 my wife, Darlene, and I experienced a clear call to move to Africa to tackle some of the most daunting challenges of our time. "Will you go?" God said to us. "Will you care?"
This was happening during the busiest months of my speaking and writing about Jabez. Why would God ask us to leave behind an exploding ministry based on a book He was so clearly blessing? We didn't understand it.
You might think that someone who has studied the character of God in graduate school and dedicated his life to serving Him wouldn't be surprised when God radically redirects his life. I will confess that until then I had enjoyed a lot of clarity about what God had called me to do. I saw myself as a Bible teacher, leader, and disciplemaker. My publisher saw me as an author. And that was that.
But almost overnight we experienced a spiritual awakening to the needs of a continent. Poverty. Prejudice. Hunger. AIDS. Orphans. God seemed to be saying to our family, "My heart breaks over these things. I want your hearts to break over them too."
Without knowing what it might mean, we said yes. Then, believing we had been called to a three- to five-year personal mission, we said good-bye to friends and family and moved to Johannesburg, South Africa.
What does this have to do with You Were Born for This? From the start we knew that trying to meet any one of those needs would be far too big a task for us. God would have to show up in extraordinary ways or nothing of significance would get done.
And He did. We started not by asking, "What can we do?" but by asking, "What does God want done?" We set some high-risk goals in the areas of greatest need. Our ministry plan expected–even depended on–God to intervene. Finally we set about working with others, including charitable groups, African organizations, government agencies, churches, and thousands of First World volunteers, to meet faith-stretching goals. Of course not everything we tried succeeded. But we kept asking for miracles and taking risks of faith, and God did show up, as I'll share in the pages ahead.
By the time we returned to the States, our thinking had changed in two important ways.
First, we'd become convinced that good deeds alone will never be enough to meet the desperate needs of our time. This is true whether the needs are personal or global in scope. We simply need more of God. We desperately need miracles!
Second, we had learned that it's often longtime Christians who resist miracles the most. Many have stopped expecting miracles, asking for them, or even knowing how to partner with God to invite them. In other words, they have abandoned the Everyday Miracle Territory and often measure success by how little they need God.
As you'd expect, the consequences of limiting what God does on earth to what we can do for Him are disastrous. Just look around. The most pressing personal and global needs go unmet while a generation asks, "Where is God? Doesn't He care? Does He even exist?" But it doesn't have to be that way.
Miracles are for everyone
You Were Born for This is a bold initiative to reclaim the miraculous as a normal way of life. Through biblical insights, true stories, and practical how-tos, I'll show you what that new normal could look like for you.
In part 1 you'll see why everyone you encounter has an unmet need that God strongly desires to meet, very possibly through you. You'll discover that the Everyday Miracle Territory is real–and you're standing in the middle of it.
We define a miracle as "an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs."2 It's true that most of us will never be empowered by God to heal someone or walk on water. The Bible is clear that not everyone has been gifted to carry out such miracles. Yet the Bible is also clear that we are all invited to do God's work by God's power. That's why in this book we only focus on the personal miracles that are within the reach of all of us.
I'm audacious enough to call these miracles predictable. By that I mean that when we do God's work in God's way, He reveals Himself to be a miracle-working God. I mean that miracles will take place so regularly that their occurrence will seem predictable to you–not because of how or when they occur but because they will occur.
In part 2 you'll be introduced to four keys to a life of miracles. They will enable you as a delivery agent for God to
• make a very specific, urgent request;
• understand and accept His miracle agenda for you;
• know how to partner with an unseen power;
• take a promising but life-changing risk.
In part 3 you'll discover practical advice on how to deliver a miracle to someone in need. First you'll learn five universally identifiable signals that will guide you in your partnership with Heaven. Then you'll learn five steps for delivering a miracle. When you learn and apply these truths regularly, you can invite God to do a miracle through you for anyone at any time.
That's a startling statement, isn't it? But as you'll see, God is so intent on meeting people's deepest needs that He is always looking for volunteers who will become living links between Heaven and earth.
In part 4 you'll be introduced to three more keys that unlock what I call special delivery miracles. These miracles meet needs that matter to everyone: finances, life dreams, and forgiveness. Each chapter is based on surprising insights from the Bible and is illustrated with stories you'll find both instructive and highly motivating.
You Were Born For This will change how you see the world and what you expect God can and will do through you to meet real needs. You will master a few simple but powerful tools and will come to say with confidence, "I want to partner with Heaven to deliver a miracle to someone in need today–and now I know how!"
If that's what you want, I invite you to turn the page.

This is a book that teaches you how to be open to God, how to listen for His prompts and or detours, and then most importantly how to act on it. So much of the Christian world these days is all talk and this book teaches you to take notice and the miracles God does and jump in and be a part of them.
I walked away from reading this excited and ready to be used by God.
I encourage everybody to read this book and read it with an open mind to what God has for you in your day to day.
I define miracle very strictly. To me, a miracle is a supernatural event that runs contrary to nature. So I'm even one of those obnoxious people who is not comfortable talking about the "miracle of birth". I don't see birth as a miracle. It is a carefully designed and orchestrated event that God set into the natural motion of living on this earth. It is marvelous, wondrous, amazing-- but it's not a miracle. Turning water into wine is a miracle. Feeding five thousand with enough food for four or five tops-- that's a miracle. Especially when you consider that there were LEFTOVERS. It isn't a miracle if you meet a need that you didn't know was a need. It's wonderful, God be praised and all glory to Him for leading you in that direction so He could bless someone through you, but it's not a miracle.
So, reading a book with the subtitle : 7 Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles was kind of difficult to do.Read more ›
What I learned the most from his book is how to be a unique, personal conduit for good in helping another fellow man. I have received many miracles in my lifetime and have witnessed others being blessed by someone's generosity towards them. But to experience being a part of a divine appointment for someone else and seeing them reap a blessing by bestowing seeds of kindness, meeting physical and emotional needs, plus uplifting and encouraging another person is truly a wonderful feeling of fulfillment and purpose as to why we're here and what's life all about really.
I could relate to the everyday miracles shared in Bruce's writings. This book will inspire you as you read about real stories of how just one person can make a difference in someone's life. What grabbed my heart was the simple outline and guidance on "how to" go about meeting another person's need. What makes this particular book a winner is the dynamic duo force of universal identity (I have a great need) and the application (God's work through you).
1 need + your part = a miracle... 5+ stars! I highly recommend this book to you!
Galations 5:25 "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the spirits leading in every part of our lives." In the book, You Were Born For This, you'll learn to recognize God's gentle nudges to be a blessing to others!
Now, four years later, Bruce Wilkinson offers us You Were Born for This: 7 Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles. Wilkinson says:
The Prayer of Jabez showed ordinary people how to ask God to greatly expand their opportunities to serve Him. You Were Born for This shows ordinary people how to be intentional about and skilled at inviting the miraculous into the midst of that larger life.
Think of You Were Born for This as Jabez to the miracle power. [!!!]
My wife knows I wasn't a big fan of Jabez. Was she ever surprised to see this book on my bedside table.
Here's what's good about this book: it's a good challenge to our low expectations. Reading this book reminded me of how much I tend to live as a functional deist. I needed the reminder in this book to rely on God's power and to expect him to work in ways that can't otherwise be explained.
On the other hand, this book has significant weaknesses.
It's formulaic. Reading "Four Keys to a Life of Miracles" and "Five Signals That Guide a Miracle Delivery" makes me cringe.
It trivializes miracles.Read more ›

Mario & Sonic headline UK's February, PC games on "downward spiral"
According to this, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was the biggest selling game of February in the UK, followed by Devil May Cry 4 and Wii Play.
PC gaming's looking rather grim by comparison, with the format only taking 15 percent of the market by units.
"Looking at the format share and you'll notice that the PC is not doing particularly well at the moment, as it revolves around The Sims, World of Warcraft, Football Manager and the odd war/strategy title (e.g. Call of Duty), with the more traditional games not performing well at all," said ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch. "We feel the market for PC games is on a downward spiral in terms of value generated in the UK market."
Hit the link for all the UK sales stats you can handle, including some very dismal reading on the state of PC gaming in Britain.

once the comp ticks down. There is no conviction from buyers and no shorts are covering.
It's ex-dividend today dry balls.
If Intel is down today at the close that would be the ONLY reason.
Recently, including today, there has been substantial conviction from BUYERS. ;-\
I am surprised that it is not already red. INTC has been trading well above the $24.00 price and there is some buying that the sellers will have to chew through for INTC to drop below $23.89.
There also might be some buying in advance of the new Silvermont based Atom introduction on Monday. It will be interesting to see what kind of intro it is for the tablet/smarhphone CPU.
I figure INT will close around $24.00 which will be green.

Product Research
Product Overview: The Sony SAL1118 wide-angle lens is specially designed for the APS-size CCD image of the Sony DSLR-A100 camera. With the superior wide-angle performance and quick zoom, its 35mm-equivalent range of 16.5mm to 27mm excels at capturing fast action in close environments.
Compatibility: This lens is compatible with the Sony Alpha-series digital SLR cameras.
DT Lens Design: The DT lens design is a compact, lightweight design specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in Sony Alpha-series cameras.
Internal Focusing System: The internal focusing system allows the internal lens elements to move, so the overall length does not have to change. This creates a lens that focuses quickly and doesn't change balance.
Aspherical Lens Elements: Three aspherical elements correct visual abnormalities more effectively across the entire zoom range, and they help reduce weight.
ED (Extra-low dispersion) Glass: Two ED glass lenses minimize flare and greatly reduce color abnormalities, giving you sharp and clear shots, even at full telephoto extension.
Circular Aperture: Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-lights shots, spot light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.
Lens Hood: The included lens hood allows for better shooting in bright light. A lens hood can be used to reduce flare in bright light areas to ensure maximum image quality.
Note: When using the built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid blockage of the flash light.
Focusing: This lens can be used for auto and manual focusing. The focus signal in the viewfinder indicates the current degree of the focus.

- Filter Diameter: 77mm
- Focal Length: 35mm Equivalent: 11-18mm

- Angle of View: 104° - 76°

- Minimum Aperture: f/22-29
- Maximum Magnification: 0.125X
- Minimum Focus Distance: 0.8 feet
- Lens Construction: 15 elements in 12 groups

No. This lens was made specifically for use with the APS-sized CCD imager of the Sony A100 which is not a "full-frame" model. I hope that helps! [ Ryan Nov 04, 2015 ] Staff

Publisher's Description
On the morning of H. Jackson Brown's fifty-first birthday, he jotted down a few of the important things more than half a century of living had taught him. He enjoyed the exercise so much that he made it a weekly project. Later, a friend said he would like to try. Other joined in. Contributions from kindergarten kids, high school students, young married couples, and senior citizens made Brown realize that wisdom knows no age and that truth is truth no matter where you find it.
What ultimately comes through in the contributions to Live and Learn and Pass It On is a sense of cheerfulness, resolve, and the importance of keeping things in perspective. A forty-two-year-old father wrote, "I've learned that a shoeshine box made by my eight-year-old son at Vacation Bible School is my most prized possession." "That's as powerful a statement about priorities and what makes life worth living as you will ever read," says Brown.
This edition contains all three volumes of the book that spent more than 28 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Stunning lodge in the vineyardsPosted Jun 15, 2015
Pros: Fabulous location with two excellent restaurants, wine tasting and of course the diamond shop!
Cons: The drains started gurgling when we ran a bath, the next morning the shower did not drain nor did the sink in the bathroom. I did report it.
Location: Close to various vineyards, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
The rooms here are in lodges, we had booked a Deluxe lodge for our stay and were delighted to be told on our arrival that we had been upgraded to a Luxury lodge with vineyard views. Once inside we were not disappointed! There was a very comfortable sitting room with a bottle of wine on ice, a small kitchen equipped with nespresso machine, fridge with fresh milk etc, further along was another sink area with a fully equipped mini bar. The bathroom had a sumptuous bath plus a large shower with gorgeous smellies! In the bedroom which overlooked the vineyards and your own plunge pool there was a very comfy bed with lovely bedding and of course slippers and dressing gowns. Before we went to the restaurant for dinner canapés and sparkling wine were delivered which we supped whilst watching an amazing sunset!

Luxeriöser Aufenthalt. Mitten in den Weinbergen. Jeder zeit empfehlenswert
by A verified traveler from Luanda, Angola
Very cozy with spectacular viewsPosted Oct 29, 2014
Pros: 6 star comfort and treatment, very romantic setting, rooms are first class
Cons: We dined at the Indocine restaurant and I would say that I was unimpressed with the food, during our week in Cape Town this ranked lowest on the list.
Location: Vineyards are close, only a short drive to Stellenbosch or Franschhoek.
We stayed one night and will be back! The plunge pool is a nice and unique touch and the complimentary wine and snack is refreshing.

Sad to leave this place!Posted Feb 6, 2014
An amazing place with outstanding views and service. Our lodge was spacious, clean and cozy. The perfect get away for a few days of lounging in the sun. The staff couldn't have been more attentive. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a lovely place in wine country.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Filler for your new releases or all-girl sections
Al Borda is credited with directing this tape, but one has to wonder if he even bothered showing up for its first two scenes. That's how unfocused and meandering that pair of girl/girl couplings are.
Especially egregious is scene two, in which some slutty blonde seems far more interested in giggling throughout than in providing erotic entertainment for viewers. Though the sequence briefly picks up at the end when a pretty brunette starts finger-fucking the blondie's rump, it's way two little, way too late. Why was this sequence even released?
The opener is hotter, but that's certainly not saying much. In it, two attractive tarts spend what seems like forever languidly fooling around with the preliminaries and coyly mugging for the camera. Both finally do climax loudly thanks to a combination of fingers and hardware, but on balance, it's all pretty underwhelming.

Can I get the S-Bahn from Wiesbaden directly to Frankfurt Main.
I am arriving in Frankfurt Hahns as I booked by Ryanair and had no idea that Frankfurt Hahn airport was actually no where near Frankfurt, Who would have thought! Unfortunately I have terrible anxiety when travelling on public transport or motorways or trains and will not be able to do 2 hours on a bus to Frankfurt, so I have researched my plan to get the shuttle bus to Mainz and the S-Bahn to Wiesbaden as there was not much choice of hotels left in Mainz so I will stay a night there then travel to frankfurt next day. I have booked a hotel in Sachsenhausen , Hotel Novum Primus, so if anyone has any advise on how to get there when I get off the train at Frankfurt would be a great help, also i noticed there is 3 stops for frankfurt, which one do i get off at? Thanks in advance from a very worried traveller!

Is there anything helpful near Abraham-Lincoln-Strasse???
Hello, I am going to be working in Wiesbaden for a few months, and to my chagrin I am being placed at the Ramada a good 2-3 km away from just about everything (wilhelmstrasse, marktstrasse). I am worried that I will have to walk there and back or take the bus all the time just for things like grocery/necessity shopping (and I am definitely in need of any suggestions for any 60 cent/1 euro/bargain stores in the area) and restaurants that are inexpensive (less than 5 euros I would guess). Can anyone please give me any pointers on good places to go to that are within a km or less from the area?

ice skating rink near Lindsey AS
Does anyone remember the ice skating rink around Lindsey Air Station area? I used to go there when I lived in Wiesbaden in the early 80's. But, now, I can vaguely recall it. I'm writing a book set back then and I'd like to be as accurate as possible. So, any details would help. Thanks! Missing it all, even after all these years.
Trying to find an old friend from way back when
I was stationed not far from Wiesbaden and spent most of my free time there in the late sixties. I am considering a trip back there, hopefully, in the near future. I finally bought a computer a couple of years ago and in wandering around with it I came across a phone book for Wiesbaden and looked up an old friend and surpringly she was in there. Somehow the address got lost and in trying to look it up again I came up blank. Her name was Marion Munch and I remember she lived on Waldstrasse. She may have moved or who knows what. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to get some information on where she might be?
Home Rentals?
Does anyone know of a website, or other source where I can find out about renting a home in Wiesbaden for a week? We are attending a wedding on August 12, and family members are converging on the city from all around the globe! We would all love to reunite and stay together in a rental home. An apartment would be too small as there are probably 4 or more families of four wanting to share a home. Thanks for any help that you can give.
Nice and cheap places for dinner / Night view
Hello everyone,
I will be doing a day trip to Wiesbaden and Mainz. I am considering the sensible sequence to do it, either Wiesbaden first or Mainz first. Any opinion? It means I will be having my lunch at one place and dinner at the other city. Can you recommend a nice and cheap place to eat in Wiesbaden? How about night view/activity in Wiesbaden? Any suggestion is most welcome. Thanks a lot!
Anyone been to Wiesbaden?
I am planning a trip to Wiesbaden...in October....also want to see Berlin, and hop over to Austria....my main focus is on WW2 Aviation and such.....hope to visit the Eagles nest...any Ideas would be apreciated...Barry in Louisiana
Romantic help needed...
It will be my husband and my 1st wedding anniversary on the 25th of September this year. We fly into Frankfurt from our holiday to South Africa on the 24th of September 2005. It is my task to organise our anniversary day...
My idea so far would be to get a limo to pick us up at the airport and drop us off at a hotel situated on the river (or close enough to see the river). Then take him to a romantic restaurant that evening (or just order in...).
The next day I would like to take a trip down the river (have champagne breakfast on the boat if possible). And because the 25th is a Sunday we have to get back home that same day so nothing that will take to long this day.
Ok, so my question(s)...
1. I need help re the hotel? I need somewhere that has a nice BIG bath (jaccuzzi bath would do...). It must be nice in other words...It must be close to a restaurant or have a restaurant at the hotel. It must be on or really close to the river cause we're going to have to walk there...
2. I need a contact number of the boat that goes up and down the river (or a way or means to contact or find the boat place...)
3. Any other help or suggestions that you may have to make this day even more special. he has really spoilt me this year so I have to make this one special!
Thanks guys!
Aukammtal Bad in Wiesbaden -- any experience with it?
Here I am, looking forward to speeding my recovery from jet-lag in Wiesbaden by visiting the Kaiser-Friedrich Therme for a little steam and sauna. I was disappointed to find out only yesterday that the day I'll be in town (Tuesday) is the women-only day at KF, and I don't qualify.
However, I did find on the website a reference to the Thermalbad Aukommtal – with a variety of pools (soaking, swimming, warm, cold), and a large selection of sauna experiences. It looks equally welcoming, if quite new, and the women-only day for Aukammtal is Monday.
Has anyone on the board ever visited the Aukammtal spa? If so, do you have any thoughts or impressions you'd like to share? Also: I know that KF is 'textilfrei' (no swimsuits required), but the website doesn't mention whether Aukammtal is the same in that respect. I have no problem either way with being nude among strangers in an appropriate setting. But, if I don't have to pack the swimming trunks, I'd rather not -- I likely won't be using them at any other time on the trip.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Nate Washington has proved to be a steady and reliable wide receiver during the course of his NFL career. Since spending 2005 on the practice squad, he has never missed a game in eight seasons, and he racked up a respectable 919 receiving yards in 2013. The question at hand for the Tennessee Titans is whether a steady and reliable receiver is worth a $4.8 million cap hit in 2014, the final year of Washington's contract with the team. That alone puts him in jeopardy of being released, and Washington seems to understand that.

The company is losing customers. They made a profit because they raised their prices (overcharged their customers). Their accounting practices are also overly aggressive. Nobody out there is actually buying any doughnut shares over $7 besides covering shorts. When the short covering ends the bottom will fall out as people wait for a pullback and new shorts pile on. I've talked to several people who were short at $6.5 and have not covered yet and have no intention on doing so until $6.5. This is a lose/lose situation for anybody that is actually still holding this garbage.
What a moronic comment.Look at the FORWARD P/E. You might edukate yerself sumthing.I will never understand why people, especially in turnaround cases, obsess about trailing P/E. It's a USELESS measure. That's why the shorts are getting torched here.

Children's Literature - Elizabeth D. SchaferThe joys of ice skating are emphasized in the brief text and color photographs of this book, which introduces beginning readers to skating basics. Smiling skaterschildren and adults representing both genders and several ethnicitiesare pictured gliding across indoor or outdoor rinks and, in one illustration, sliding along the edge of a frozen pond. Although skating is frequently an individual sport, pairs and groups of skaters are featured. Friendship, family, and fun are stressed, with skaters holding hands and laughing as they skim across the ice. The text explains the structure of ice skates, tells how skaters control movements on ice, and highlights safety mainly as wearing warm clothing; protecting hands, feet, and faces; and listening to coaches. The perils of skating are absent with no falls or collisions pictured. Although two female skaters wear fancy costumes and a coach instructs another skater, this book does not describe ice skating sports, such as figure skating, dancing, racing, or hockey. Equipment related to maintaining rinks, such as zambonis, is not pictured. A glossary explains five words to expand readers' vocabulary. The bibliography suggests three books suitable for novice readers. Useful for introducing this activity to young readers intrigued by skating. Pair this nonfiction book with the Holly Keller's picture book, Pearl's New Skates (2005), or Jill Krementz's photographic portrayal, A Very Young Skater (1979). Part of the "Pebble Plus" series.
Let's Ice-Skate!by Carol K. Lindeen

Editorial Reviews
School Library JournalK-Gr 2-These titles are visually inviting and well written, with a limited word count that doesn't shortchange readers on vocabulary. DeGezelle offers an appealing look at snowboarding. This text consists of a mere 90 well-chosen words. Ice-Skate! introduces readers to the joy of skating, both indoors and out. However, the Web sites listed are about all winter sports, and they are not geared toward the intended audience. Both books offer full-color, full-page action shots of youngsters engaged in the sports described. These titles are more appealing than Edana Eckart's books on the same sports (Children's Press) and are for a younger audience than the "Action Sports" series (Chelsea House).-Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Product Description
Product Description
titolo-concerto per violino - concerto per violino e violoncellocompositore-johannes brahms orchestra-berliner philharmoniker direttore-claudio abbado interpreti-gil shaham (violino)-jian wang (violoncello)etichetta-deutsche grammophonn. dischi1data22 aprile 2002supportocd audiogeneremusica sinfonica
The final flurry of recordings by Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic before formally parting company in summer 2002, includes this impressive tribute to Brahms and the violinist Joseph Joachim made at the Philharmonie Berlin in May 2000. The Violin Concerto in D and the Double Concerto in A minor were both composed for Joachim who is incarnate here in the steely, finely economical tone of fiddler Gil Shaham. His powerful first-movement certainties are tinged with timid introspection in the beautiful adagio, but burst into urgent exuberance in the finale. Naturally he plays Joachim's first-movement cadenza and does so with polished ease, clearly demonstrating the fruitfulness of the composer's and dedicatee's relationship.
Shaham is joined by cellist Jian Wang for the Double Concerto. Their intercourse veers between loving reciprocity and sparring antagonism, as did Joachim's with his wife who divorced him and with Brahms who censured him. Dramatic, volatile tension drives the first movement like a threatening family row. Abbado steers the wrestling like a manipulative referee, cajoling the orchestra into a ringside crowd. The thoughtful slow movement moves like an agile heavyweight while the thrilling four-round rondo finale begins with tentative jabs before a tutti onslaught of syncopated blows and grinding interspersed themes makes of it a canvas-pounding knockout that calls for an immediate replay.--Rick Jones

Thank God for the Internet! If not for it, Americans like me would hardly be able to lay hands on this extraordinary disc. And extraordinary it is, boasting superlative performances of two of Brahms' most important works in rich, velvety, and ideally balanced sound.
The Double Concerto, long my favorite of Brahms' four concerti, here gets the performance of its life. Praise, first, to the two solists, who play as one; more than once during the first movement, where the violin begins a downward passage only to be taken up by the 'cello, or the 'cello begins an upward passage to be continued by the violin, I couldn't tell where one soloist left off and the other began. Such synergy is woefully rare in performances of this piece and here bespeaks (finally!) the matching of two musicians of caliber. Too often, we are forced to listen to a great violinist and a so-so 'cellist make this work into a violin concerto with 'cello obligato (I'm thinking of the unfortunate Mutter/Meneses/Karajan recording) or a great violinist and great 'cellist contort the piece out of all recognizable shape at the service of virtuosity (I won't even mention which recording I'm talking about here, because I know it has its legions of admirers).Read more ›
It's regrettable that Shaham's performance wasn't recorded in the classic Jesus Christus Kirche studio used often by Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, taking advantage of the studio's warm, lush sound. However, the Double Concerto was recorded there. Unfortunately, that may be the only excellent point about its recording since neither Shaham nor Wang seem to meld well as soloists. I've heard other, more vibrant performances of the Double Concerto; one recently heard version is one with Szeryng and Starker with Bernard Haitink conducting the Concertgebouw Orchestra.
Fans of Shaham's playing won't be disappointed with either performance. However, if one wants more dramatic performances of the Brahms Violin Concerto, there are better recent recordings available, most notably those with Mutter and especially, Vengerov.
