Product Description
Product Description
The first album in six years from the enduring power-pop outfit is already garnering heaps of praise in the press: "(Special One) is chock-full of the trademark sing-a-long choruses, zinging guitar riffs & pell-mell momentum that have inspired everyone from Smashing Pumpkins; Billy Corgan to Everclear's Art Alexakis.' - Washington Post. 'Cheap Trick is in full force here.its music continues to be an irresistible confection.' - Billboard.
Their studio output hampered by label turmoil for the better part of a decade, the veterans in Cheap Trick instead focused on burnishing their history and stellar live reputation with 1999's Music for Hangovers and 2001's Silver. But that back-to-the-future tack hardly heralded their descent into nostalgic act, as this warm surprise of a studio album reaffirms on virtually every track. Largely sidestepping the blistering pop thrash and hook-filled acoustic ballads that have long tempted stereotyping, the Trick has produced arguably the most texturally intriguing album of their long career, a forceful reminder of the true depth of their talents and breadth of eclectic influences. The opening single, "Scent of a Woman," goes from simmer to boil in record time, while "Too Much" and the title track give a Trick spins on late '60s UK psych-pop. From there, they seem to consciously tip their hats to the growing cadre of young pop and alt stars who claim them as inspirations, with the help of Chris Shaw and guest fellow producers Jack Douglas (Aerosmith and the first CT album) and Steve Albini (the sexed-up minimalism of "Low Life in High Heels" and encroaching darkness of "Sorry, Boy"). This is an album spawned by four lifelong love affairs with rock's disparate possibilities--and a special one, indeed. --Jerry McCulley --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

However, the recorded version just doesn't rock. It's great that they wanted to avoid sounding the same, but this new sound is not the guitar rock CT is known for. I don't see what people like about this album... I really enjoy Scent of a Woman (classic CT), Sorry Boy (All Shook Up type paranoia) and Special One (gentle, beautiful song unlike anything before), but the remainder of the album is so lackluster and boring, I don't want to hear the 3 tracks I enjoy (I'm a listen-to-CD's-start-to-finish-guy). I can only imagine the fans who love this CD have either aged and mellowed, or mindlessly love any CT they can get their hands on. CT remains to be my favorite band, but this album ...
The included DVD, however, is alone worth the price of buying this.
Don't bother with the Tokyo to You DVD, although these songs sound better there, you do not get to see a single song played in it's entirety.
The band has taken a step beyond the power rock in the 1997 album. They've added a techno feel and some different rythms. More importantly, they have added this feel while still applying their signature. This is classic Cheap Trick with some new dimensions. This is exactly what you want from a band - Continuous evolution.
Lyrically speaking the album is their best. This is truly one of their best albums, and one of the best albums I've heard this year. If anyone has any suggestions of albums that are as good as this one, let me know.
I like this album for what it is: creative, different and classic Cheap Trick. I like it for what it isn't - 10 power pop love songs. Cheap trick is better than that and they've proved it on their last two albums.
Keep going guys, keep evloving and trying new things. You saved us from Disco once, now save us from 'nsync hell and John Mayer banality.

Jungle trip for active kids?Chiapas?
Report Abuse
Chiapas is wonderful. Tremendous diversity in terms of culture as well as geography and ecosystems. The ruins at Palenque are easily worth one day exploring, and you can spend at least one other visiting Bonampak and Yaxchilan (the latter is accessed via a boat trip on the river where you see crocodiles.
Report Abuse
Loved Chiapas but haven't made it to Bonampak and Yaxchilan yet. My photos with blog and travelogue links on the main page of each collection are below in case you're interested - all my recommendations are embedded there. Happy trails!

Thanks to both of you! Sounds like a plan! Excited already! Gracias!

Great jungly type place to stay near Palenque (Palenque is also the main spot from which people take day trips to Bonampak and Yaxchilan) is the Hotel Quinta Chanabnal. Junior suite has two good sized beds for a very reasonable price.
Report Abuse
I'll add my vote to Palenque! You might consider visiting some of the nearby waterfalls, too (Misol-ha, Agua Clara, and Agua Azul). And if you want to leave the jungle for a few days, San Cristobal de las Casas would offer some nice options. Enjoy!
Report Abuse
Hi Worldgypsy!
I agree, Palenque is awesome! And it is certainly the best choice to do with kids. You can find guides at the entrance of the site that will propose you different kind of tours (ruins or jungle). Bonampak and Yaxchilan are great, I really loved both, but I wouldn't go there with kids as the trip is *really tiring* (6am to 20pm) unless you plan sleeping in the jungle (there are great eco-friendly hotels managed by Lancadon Indian communities, so that would also be a great option).
Misol-ha, Agua Clara, and Agua Azul are nice but avoid them if it has been raining the week before you arrive because you won't enjoy the gorgeous colors of the falls.
Hopefully that helps!

It's good to ask about recent events before heading to the water features mentioned above; occasionally there have been episodes of conflict over land and income rights.
Report Abuse
@hopefulist, land and income rights issue in this area is no longer topical. There have always been conflicts in Chiapas, but this is never against tourists but government. Anyway, @worldgypsy if you travel with local tour operators they will keep out of those areas, so don't bother!

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Sunday that talks between top Libyan officials and Western diplomats in Paris this week would focus on continued security problems following the ouster of Moamer Kadhafi.
"Despite the good will and talent of its rulers, there is not enough security in Libya," Fabius told BFM Television ahead of the talks on Tuesday.
"The meeting on Tuesday aims to help them control their borders, to give them the means to prevent weapons heading off in all directions," he said.
Fabius will be joined for the talks by his Libyan counterpart Mohamed Abdulaziz, the foreign ministers of Britain, Italy, Denmark, Turkey and Malta and other top Libyan officials.
Senior diplomats from other nations will also take part, with the conference followed on Wednesday by a visit by Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan to Paris, where he will meet President Francois Hollande.
Efforts to revive Libya's economy will also be on the table, with several Libyan ministers meeting on Monday night with French business chiefs.
Diplomatic sources said the talks were the result of serious concerns over Libyan security, including over the flood of weapons from Kadhafi's storage depots across the region since his regime's demise.
"The bad news is that there are real security risks in Libya, the good news is that the Libyans are not in denial. They want us to offer them solutions," said one diplomatic source.
Islamist rebels who took control of Mali last year are among those believed to have benefited from the looting of Kadhafi's vast weapons storehouses.

Can anyone comment about the quality of defenses SJSU has faced compared to BYU's, and specifically players like Ziggy and Van Noy? Their ability to pressure quarterbacks may be key to this game.

SJSU runs a high octane offense that could run BYU out of the stadium if the Cougars don't take this game very seriously. The Spartans have a much better offense than Notre Dame and about the same as Georgia Tech, the difference being, where Georgia Tech's run-heavy offense played into BYU's defensive strength, SJSU's pass-heavy offense plays into BYU's defensive weakness. It'll be a long day for the Cougars if BYU gives San Jose State time to throw.

Well they did face USU's defense which I know isn't as good as BYU's but it still is nationally ranked. Or at least the time I checked it was. I need to look that up... But they did put some points up on Utah State's defense. Something we barely did....

The key to beating San Jose State is pressuring their QB. Utah State set the
tone early by sacking Fales four times on SJSU's first three possessions,
including the first play of each of SJSU's first two possessions.
Even so, BYU's defensive will only be good enough to slow down SJSU's offense, not shut them down.
BYU's offense is going to have to score early and often to keep pace with the Spartans. Anything less than 35 points and the Cougars will be in serious jeopardy of losing this game.

Should be a good comparison of coaching philosophies. SJSU - Passing game with
exciting offense, outscore the opponent, compensate through the air for player
personnel disadvantage. BYU - Run & Option based offense, use the clock,
brute strength, have an opportunity to win at the end.
I know which philosophy I prefer.

Revs. and eps...double trouble...down big today
The miss is because the recall was all product made in Puerto Rico. That gets favorable tax treatment when it's sold. But it works against the company on the recall since there all the recall hurts the bottom line. There is no offset from reversing taxes, as there would be in a non-PR recall. Listen to the conference call for the explanation.
You don't mean a recall of ALL products made in PR do you? Or, do you?I'm not an accountant so I won't comment about the revenue offset stuff and income...but ALL PR product seems like more than hernia repair. I think that would be a real big problem.
Institutions continue to post buy orders in the $63-64 range today, letting BCR drift and then picking it off. Check the Ishares website - there are no sell orders indicated for the whole day.

It's That Time Again! Time To F*ck, Marry, or Falcon Punch Some Trailers!
By Jodi Clager | Trailers | May 17, 2013 | Comments ()
Just like she said, it just keeps getting harder. This week's contestants on F*ck, Marry, or Falcon Punch are squirrelier than a couple of Phoenix bakery proprietors. This choice will be more difficult than picking your favorite "Arrested Development" quote from those that only relate to expensive suits. BEHOLD, YOUR TRAILERS:
First up today, we have DIsney's Planes. The kid-friendly sequel will be released n August 9th, yet they chose to give us this trailer without any dialogue. Is it because the dialogue is unfinished or because they would like us to forget that Dane Cook voices the lead plane, Dusty Crophopper? If you are wondering, the beautiful lady in the header is Priyanka Chopra, voice of Ishani in the movie.
I got really bored watching this trailer. That alone kicks it out of the F*ck running for me. I suppose I'll have to Marry this one and maybe keep some other Pixar flick on the side.
Next up is Last Vegas, starring Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. When Billy (Douglas) informs his long-time pals that he is getting married, they all take off for a four-day weekend in Las Vegas. It's like The Hangover except sponsored by Viagra and fanny packs.
This one might be the best of the three, but it doesn't seem like marriage material. I'm going to F*ck this one, friends. I'm going to get it all hepped up on Red Bull and vodka, make sure all false teeth are properly secured its mouth, and go at the old man balls.
Last and least is v/h/s 2. The first v/h/s was a steaming pile when it could have been something really amazing and innovative. Instead we got lots of boobs, plots that revolved around showing some boobs, and then gore. Also, boobs. The sequel hits On Demand June 6th and theaters July 12th.
This trailer is super, amazing, totally NSFW Red Band. It also gives away lots and lots of things that would have been nice scares.

Yana Indians. A tribe, constituting a distinct linguistic family, formerly occupying the territory from Round mountains near Pit river, Shasta County, to Deer creek, Tehama County, California. The west boundary was about 10 miles east of Sacramento river, both banks of that stream being held by the Wintun, with whom the Yana were frequently at war. The east boundary extended along the spurs running out to the north and south from Lassen Butte. In August 1864 the neighboring miners organized a massacre of the whole tribe, then numbering about 3,000, of whom all but about 50 were slaughtered in the course of a few days. In 1902 Dixon reported only about half a dozen remaining. A number of their myths have been recorded by Curtin.

WASHINGTON Aug 20 The U.S. consumer watchdog said it filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against a Nevada-based debt settlement company that regulators said charged improper fees and made misleading claims about its services.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Morgan Drexen charged upfront fees for debt-relief services, even though firms are not allowed to charge such fees until after they have helped settle or reduce borrowers' debt.
The firm also incorrectly led consumers to believe they would be debt-free after a few months of Morgan Drexen's services, the bureau said.
The bureau's lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, seeks penalties against the company and its chief executive, Walter Ledda.
Morgan Drexen had previously filed its own lawsuit in federal court arguing the consumer bureau overreached when it asked the firm to hand over documents related to its customers.

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson's six-time, Tony Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation.
The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall.

The History of the Modern Graphics Processor, Part 1
The evolution of the modern graphics processor begins with the introduction of the first 3D add-in cards in 1995, followed by the widespread adoption of the 32-bit operating systems and the affordable personal computer.
While 3D graphics turned a fairly dull PC industry into a light and magic show, they owe their existence to generations of innovative endeavour. Over the next few weeks we'll be taking an extensive look at the history of the GPU, going from the early days of 3D consumer graphics, to the 3Dfx Voodoo game-changer, the industry's consolidation at the turn of the century, and today's modern GPGPU.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- The big question before the beginning of the World Baseball Classic was if Cuba would be able to handle teams with professional players.
That question seemed to be answered last Friday, when Puerto Rico manhandled Cuba (winning 12-2) with some great performances from major league players.
On Sunday, however, Cuba made a strong statement that it can hang with the big boys: dominating a powerful Venezuelan squad that is a heavy favorite to win the tournament.
Right-handers Yadiel Marti and Pedro Lazo allowed only five hits and two runs in nine innings, while Frederick Cepeda and Ariel Pestano hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning as Cuba defeated Venezuela 7-2 in the first game of the second round.
Marti didn't allow hits until the fifth inning, when outfielder Magglio Ordoñez and first baseman Ramon Hernandez hit back-to-back singles, and was replaced by Lazo, who gave up three hits and two runs the rest of the game to earn the save.
The fifth inning was precisely the turning point. Venezuela had the bases loaded with no outs, but two pop-outs to left field and a Carlos Guillen strikeout got Cuba out of the jam.
"There is a reason why Cuba is the World and Olympic champion," said Cuba manager Higinio Velez. "They don't give away those trophies. The good teams are those who know how to bounce back after a tough loss, because losing is going to happen sometimes."
It doesn't happen often to Cuba, though. Velez, 54, led the Cuban national team to victory at the Olympic Games in 2004 and in the World Championships in 2001, 2003 and 2005. He also won the Intercontinental Cup and the Pan-American Games in 2003.
But in all of those events, Cuba faced amateur players. The Classic, however, features many of the best baseball players in the world.
"No team is stronger than the other. None is better than the other," said Velez. "Every country that was invited to the World Classic had done something to deserve their spot, and those who have advanced to the second round have done so by playing good baseball."
Cuba didn't play very good baseball in the last game of the first round against Puerto Rico and was handed its worst defeat in 23 years in international tournaments.
"Puerto Rico was not a better team than Venezuela two days ago. Each team knows each other and plays to the best of their abilities," said Velez. "Two days ago, it was a completely different situation.
"So I ask people not to jump to conclusions. I just ask them to watch Cuba play against major league players and then draw their conclusions accordingly."
Cuba will meet the Dominican Republic on Monday and Puerto Rico again on Wednesday.
Velez likes his team's chances.
"This is good for baseball," he said of the Classic.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.

To those who wish to assert that shaming religions as silly and not real is not okay:
If not, we suggest you either get used to it ... or rethink your attachment to a ridiculous, millennia-old myth.
More delicious music from my all-time favorite jazz ensemble, Oregon:
Oh, that is SO true! My best friend for the last 10 years is a man in DC...we talk on the phone a lot, but we've never met face to face, or I would have hugged him and never let go. We"met" on an atheist forum that no longer exists. I have 2 or 3 longtime friends from that forum, and we all keep each other hanging onto life when things get rough.
I just thought of a line from one of Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" books, "I'd rather have 5 good friends than one mediocre lover." I've got the friends...gave up on lovers so long ago I can't remember who the last one was; just that he was worse than average.
sk8eycat, you are a treasure; I got goose bumps all over again when I read your celebration of my news.
You have so many challenges, it is a wonder you keep your keen sense of humor. Having good health care from "an artist" makes such a great difference and you deserve it. Your description of petting Lyle immediately after your surgery and feeling his hair evokes visions of what can happen and should happen in our health delivery system.
Joan, no...my hands started becoming arthritic when I was in my early 40s, and it may have been tendons or ligaments getting hung up on calcium deposits in my fingers. Also, I had a condition called hyperparthyroidism...a rogue parathyroid gland was drawing calcium out of my bones, and depositing it where it didn't belong...all over my body (and expelling some of it through my kidneys). A LOT of the deposits slowly went away after I had surgery in 1992, and so did symptoms like trigger finger.
Oh! I forgot! I had carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, too. I had the right hand fixed (they wanted to do the left hand first, and I argued and argued till I finally wore them down) in 1993 because I desperately needed to go back to work, and my best office skill always was on the 10-key. I was a whiz.
The amazing thing was that the carpal tunnel release was done as "day surgery." I wen in at 6AM, they worked on me starting at 11 AM, and I was alert and ready to go home by 2PM. I was wearing a steel wrist brace wrapped with elastic bandage, but my fingers were free. The first thing I did when I got home was pet Lyle, the ORNJ cat we had back then, and already I could feel the silky texture of his fur...every single hair...for the first time in years. I cried a little...for joy.
At that time I was going to a County (charity) hospital, and I can't praise the surgeons and nurses who took care of me enough. The surgeons were senior residents from UCLA Medical School, and they were so gung-ho about finding out the cause of anything and everything,and fixing it. Another surgeon that I met at a formal banquet a few years later told me that the one who did the parathyroid surgery was "an artist." The scars from both operations are almost invisible, and always have been.
PS: I just read your good news! YAYYYY! CONGRAD-JULASHUNZ!!! Ai iz sew happee 4 U! HUGS to the nth degree!
(jumping up and down and singing!)
Have a VERY Sunny Solstice!
Sk8eycat, did you just talk trash to me?! LOL
sk8eycat Did you ever figure out what cause "trigger finger"? I have never heard of it before and am really curious as to its cause, treatment and prevention.
Ruth, I used to have "trigger finger" in my right middle finger...I don't remember how or why it went away; it just did. Now I have sort of the opposite...if I curl one finger down toward the palm, they all go along with it. No pain, just very frustrating 'cause I can't give anyone the famous Mono-digital Salute...one of my favorite gestures...there are so many people in this world who deserve it.
That's why I picked the "Phbtttt Cat" for my whaddaya-callit...Icon?

As with hot chocolate, use any milky liquid you prefer, whether it's from a cow, nuts (almond milk), beans (soy milk), or grains (rice milk). For sweeteners, feel free to substitute maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar for sugar, but start with less, about 1 tablespoon, and taste the combination before adding more.

to thick and bland.
I made this with Hershey's Special Dark and it was yummy! I'm definitely keeping this recipe.
This tastes like chocolate asshole.
Better than store bought
Made this with Splenda instead of sugar and it was STILL delicious !
One wrote that this is straight off the Hershey's Cocoa box. I have made that for years, but I did not have Hershey's. I had a tub of Rodelle's and made it with full cream (decadent, I know). But, this was FABULOUS! My 8 year old grandson LOVED it served with unsweetened whipped cream. I highly recommend this recipe and note that the cocoa brand and type of milk used does matter! I will definitely be making this again. Can't wait to try it with a bit of espresso powder!
This is straight from the Hershey's Cocoa 100% Cacoa box... good hot chocolate though ;)
So good! Satisfied my sweet craving when I had no chocolate in the house. I used 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk and 1/2 cup half & half with 2 tbsp cocoa and 1 tbsp sugar. I accidentally used almond extract instead of vanilla and I actually really liked it! Will make again.
I made an account with epicurious just to rate this hot chocolate! It was delicious. I've made hot chocolate before and just needed the ratio of sweetener to cocoa powder. This was perfect, well done!
simple, and very delicious, & creamy, just the way i like it. i'm always making my hot cocoa like this :)

Toshiba Satellite P855 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
Toshiba has previously restricted its glasses-less 3D screen technology to its high-end gaming laptops, the Qosmio range. Now the same proprietary tech has been bled down the company's product line, appearing in a mass-consumer Satellite notebook for the first time.
The Toshiba Satellite P855 is one of a new line-up of similarly designed laptops, but is the only one to feature a 15.6-inch HD autostereoscopic screen. It will be available in Q2 in the UK, and will cost more than the non-3D P850 - itself weighing in at £599 - but not by much, we expect.
Few other actual specifications are know at present, save that, like the rest of the new P series, it'll come with the "latest Intel processors", "next-generation Nvida GPUs", and up to a 1TB hard drive or 750GB/8GB hybrid drive.
It will have a combination DVD/Blu-ray drive - with the latter feature supporting 3D Blu-ray. Integrated Harmon Kardon stereo speakers give the audio a little more oomph than you'd normally find on a relatively thin laptop.
Four USB 3.0 ports are available on the P855, and Intel WiDi is built in, allowing you to stream your entire screen to a compatible TV (or accessory) wirelessly, without the need for connection to a router. The PC also features Toshiba's Sleep-and-Music technology, which allows you to plug in and play an MP3 player through the notebook's speakers, without the device even being switched on.
Design-wise, the Satellite P855 is a tasty bit of kit - all brushed aluminium and sleek lines. Toshiba has made a concerted effort in keeping the same aesthetic DNA running throughout all of its premium laptops this year, and this particular effort benefits greatly.
But it is the 3D screen that will garner the most attention, and from our brief play it certainly works. There are times when images overlap, specifically if you move your head quickly, but keep fairly still and the face tracking technology does a good job of trying to offer the best sweet spot for the lenticular display based on where you're sitting.
As previously mentioned, we're not sure how much it will cost when it arrives, but the Toshiba Satellite P855 will be the cheapest example of this screen technology from the Japanese company yet. Certainly cheaper than its ZL2 autostereoscopic 3D 4K TV, which will set you back £6,999.

By: Richard V. Reeves and Fred Dews
The American Dream is not dead, but Americans today experience less socioeconomic fluidity between where they are born and where they end up than people in comparable nations, including Great Britain. It is "in need of some health care," says Richard Reeves, an Economic Studies fellow and policy director of the Center on Children and Families. In this podcast, Reeves discusses his research on policies to make evidence-based social mobility—from birth, through childhood into adulthood—a priority, at both state- and federal-levels. Family and parents matter, and governments can help; "That's a place where Republicans and Democrats can really meet around."
Reeves, who edits the Social Mobility Memos blog at Brookings, discusses evidence-based approaches to understanding social mobility and devising policies to increase it. "The belief that [American] society is open and fluid and classless," he says, "may actually be inhibiting action to make that true." He says that "an unequal society can become a stratified society. Inequality can begin to perpetuate itself almost automatically."

Ikonik Ra 2000 Black IC-RBDAB-C000 Full Tower Chassis
Accessories and Documentation
Remember that white box with the Ikonik label on it stashed in the hard drive rack? Inside that you get a couple thumbscrews to replace two regular screws in the door panels, a bag full of risers and motherboard screws, a pair of both wire management stick-on clips and tie straps, an Ikonik cleaning cloth and a set of power supply mounting screws.
As I mentioned, to install a 3.5" hard drive you simply set the rubber nubs into the screw holes of the device. Holding them on the side while sliding the drive in, you eventually hear a click as the drive locks into place. The top of the slides are sort of spring loaded to keep them in position on the rails, while the rubber bits that hold the drive further isolate the vibrations.
With the drive locked in place, simply slide the assembly back in the chassis and replace the four thumbscrews to secure the rack in place.

Be Hopeful (1 Peter Commentary)
We're sorry but you missed this offer. It is no longer free or a deal.
Author(s): Warren W. Wiersbe
Publisher: David C. Cook
Price: $2.51
In Scripture, hope means the promise of salvation for those who have accepted God and His Son's death and resurrection.
Christians who possess this hope and live as though then possess it will learn godly submission, holy living, and harmony with other believers. These qualities will prepare them for what Peter pains in his epistle as inevitable—suffering and persecution. Though Peter is writing to warn a people who would soon be under the tyranny of a heathen Roman emperor, some level of suffering will always be part of the believers' journey. A time is soon coming when living the "comfortable" Christian life will be far more costly than the life willing to give up all.
Be Hopeful by Warren Wiersbe – Free Kindle Download For Limited Time | mgpcpastor's blog Says: April 25, 2013 at 9:36 pm
[…] Be Hopeful is Warren Wiersbe's devotional commentary on 1 Peter. The Kindle edition is available free for a limited time at Amazon. Thanks to Gospel eBooks. […]

V1+FT1+85mm f/1.8 for indoor sports
I took this setup to the Michigan-Penn State hockey game last night and got some decent results. All shots were using AF-C, S-priority, 1/1000s, ISO400 with f-stop ranging from 1.8 to 4. I didn't take as many shots as planned since I was caught up in watching the game. (Hockey can be difficult to shoot if you are also a fan and don't want to miss anything )
I think this can be a good combo for indoor action using burst mode. Next time I will try with ISO at 100-200 and lower the shutter speed a bit. I think the lighting at the arena is good enough to support that. I could also try A mode at f/1.8 and just take what it gives me.
All shots are uncropped and converted to .jpg using LR5 with no PP (yes, we have good seats!)
Oh, I almost forgot: UM 5, PSU 2

Nice shots, Tom. The middle two do seem fairly underexposed, which is a common problem when shooting hockey since the camera's metering system tends to try to make the ice expose as middle gray.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't too concerned with the exposure since it can be adjusted easily enough in PP. I mostly wanted to see how well the AF-C with the FT1 would perform. I think it did fine. I had a few other actions shots that I did not post, but shooting in continuous mode gave me some decent results. Having a f/1.8 lens with EFL of 229mm certainly makes this easier! I'll try to ignore the game next time and concentrate more on shooting, but with OSU and Minnesota coming up that will not be easy...

Early yesterday afternoon I was sitting on a bench outside the hotel, puffing my cigar and praying my pain meds would hurry their grip, when a nice lady from Cincinnati stopped to chat. The two of us, and many others at the hotel, are patients at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and a unique camaraderie always develops between us fellow strugglers.
Earlier in the week she was in tears, after finding out there was a six-day gap in her appointments as she fights bone cancer, and I might have given her a tip or two to get back in the system. So yesterday we were talking about books and I told her my best read in the last six months had been "Ghostman," a thriller about bank robberies and the "ghost man" who make all the evidence disappear. I told her guys like me are fascinated by robbery plots and similar capers.
She smiled and asked if I had time to hear about her dad. His name was Johnny Summerly, which is fun because I can't remember her name but Johnny soon got my attention. When he was a wee tot the Summerly family immigrated to the United States from Ireland. They settled in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where Johnny and his six siblings grew up fiercely defending their Irish Catholic roots.
Was it tough, you bet, and at age 15 Johnny escaped when he lied about his age and his brother forged his dad's name to get into World War II. At age 16 he was flying Liberators and, while he never talked much about the war, he said it was not uncommon for gunners in the front glass bubble to freeze to death because it wasn't heated.
After America won in Europe and Japan, a grown-up Summerly returned to Pawtucket and got a job working for the Hassenfeld brothers, a toy company that you may remember became Hasbro toys. Every day at lunch Johnny would go to the same little meat-and-three diner and was soon befriended by three other men, having lunch at the same table for a year or so.
All three were courteous, well-dressed and polite, classy sort of guys and Johnny liked them quite well. So he thought nothing of it when one said they couldn't be at lunch the next day and would Johnny mind accepting an envelope and passing it along to another guy 15 or 20 minute later. Johnny was delighted and – hey – the guys even left money to pay the 60 cents tab. Sure enough, a smiling man – also nattily dressed – came by as Summerly finished his lunch to pick up the envelope just like his friends promised.
Johnny never saw the three men again. Instead the largest bank robbery in the history of the United States at the time took place the next day in Boston – a 35-minute commute from Pawtucket – and four days later the Feds showed up at the toy company to take Johnny Summerly in for 12 hours of questioning.
It was immediately obvious Johnny was clean. He had unwittingly become an innocent conduit in the caper, which was soon billed as "the crime of the century" after the January 17, 1950 heist. There were few clues in the masterfully-executed robbery that yielded $1,218,211.29 in cash and another $1,557,183.83 in checks, which was really a big haul back then. But Johnny Summerly's face was plastered in newspapers the world over as the lunch partner of the crooks. It turned out his three friends were hardly who or what they told Johnny for an entire year.
A couple of years later, Johnny married a lovely girl from England. Her parents were so mad they refused to attend the service because their lovely was marrying an Irish Catholic – which was sadly frowned on back in the '50s south of Boston. But their love stayed true every day until 22 years ago when Johnny Summerly passed away.
Oh, but there is one other thing. When Johnny and his bride were first married, they shared a one-room apartment – that's one room, not one bedroom – and when his wife got pregnant, he found a three-room apartment for their meager belongings. The third day after they moved to the new apartment, a livery truck pulled to the curb loaded with three rooms worth of beautiful furniture. With it was a note that the bone patient's mother keeps among her most prized possessions. It says simply, "Thanks Johnny."

My personal Mayo story took a big turn late Friday afternoon when a MRI exam, when compared to one taken at Erlanger Hospital three weeks ago, revealed the humerus bone in my right arm is swollen and inflamed. I never knew bones could swell up and while the doctors say it is a quite painful thing when that happens, the choir will heartily sing, "Amen!"
Diagnostic tests will resume at Mayo Clinic for me, the bone patient, and the hundreds of others in rainy Minnesota on Monday. Hopefully it will be a touch warmer here after temperatures exceeded 60 degrees for maybe one hour all week. Minnesota has been so wet and cold in a very freakish spring some farms have already applied for crop insurance rather than plant seed six weeks later than usual.
Maybe this week everybody in Minnesota will get better.
