Just Posted: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f1.8 Sample Images
Just posted: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f1.8 prime lens sample images. We've been using the Olympus prime lens for the last few days and have prepared a quick sample gallery using the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 and GX1. These samples have been shot at a variety of apertures in a range of lighting conditions, intended to highlight the lens' portraiture capabilities.

|Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f1.8 preview samples gallery - Posted June 30th 2012
ok for a 150mm f/3.5 equiv. lens.
Such a lot of lens envy in this blog.
Looking at Robin's photographs reveals this is a superlative lens (and SLR gear say as much)
Crops with the OM-D + 75mm maybe as good as or better than a D800.
'Pop' and Bokeh as good as a Zeiss lens.
For goodness sake, give credit where it's due and grow up.
Nah - Robin's review is nowhere near as comprehensive, in-depth and complete as the one-line dismissals made in this thread!
The "best" comments are from the equivalence police, out in full force here today as well. Thanks to this forum I "learned" after shooting for 40 years that fast M4/3 lenses are in reality very slow lenses.
Also, the moon is made out of (the 35mm equivalence of) green cheese. Honestly!
Amazing logic and comments, here.
awful samples! they're so bad I can't tell whether DPR even has a good sample of the lens. the samples I've seen elsewhere show this to be a superb lens!
For those mentioned about bad review photos, I tend to agree with you. I think the DoF choices are pretty bad for many of the portraits. DoF should be enough to cover both the nose and eyes, not wide open for every shot. As for overexposure on dog portrait. I think it's fine. We do need a few over exposed shots to show the lens's CA (or lack of). There should be more photos about bokeh and light spheres and light stars, we we get to know every character of the lens. Sharpness of this lens is a given (it's an Olympus HG), but bokeh quality, the second most important character of a lens, should also be shown before I would consider the lens.
Yes, they should go for a meeting and create a chart of goals need to accomplished. They need one photo for each possible real world scenario, each with a variation of using wide open and best aperture of the lens. With different lighting scenarios.
Maybe the "powers that be" are unhappy at the game changing influence the em5 is achieving and ordered a redress?
That is paranoia. Not great shoots but Ieeeeeeesh. Conspiracy ? Some people should take pictures and not watch so much TV.
these are, quite simply 'sub-standard' bad samples. they look as though the guys went out for lunch and every photo taken during that time was posted here for a very large audience, of which a large number is the potential buyer.
Dpreview needs to up its game and they need to have a meeting on this; the quality of their samples has degraded over the years. just browse the site back to 2006 and see how good the samples used to be.
i hope dpreview.com is listening.

So agree. The staffs need some serious photography training. I can't believe how bad the skills are
The samples are fine. Most people buying this lens are amateurs, and their pictures will look the same as these. I am sure that the DPR guys are actually good photographers, with as much training in the field as they have, but choose to make boring pics because the people buiyng the gear will not be professional phototgraphers. Professional photogs will have a FF body with a genuine 1.4 or 1.2 lens, for portrait, they will likely not buy a 75 mm olympus lens, and mpunt it on a GH2. I wouldn't. And how many of you don't look at a professionaly made picture (which, btw, inculdes a lotttt of PP) and say "Photoshoped" or "well, okay, but he is a PRO, I could never get results like that !". Just chill, if you don't like the samples here just look at some others on other sites. Buy this lens because it makes you special, with it's shiny finish, it gives you bragging rites, you don't own a leica, but it's close, especially on an em5.
Hey, cool it on the sarcasm front. There are a lot of very capable photographers on this site and they know when the samples are sub -standard. And I know that, without a doubt, they wouldn't take pictures like these. You clearly cannot see that the samples are not representative of what the lens is capable of, and that, is what the samples are supposed to show. Look a bit closer. No, these samples are not fine.
@ nicolaiecostel - actually, because of the price tag, people buying this lens will not be amateurs that will make pix like these. people buying this lens will be more skilled amateurs than that. people that take shots that are worth looking at and admiring. (here i'm not counting people that just have to have the latest and priciest gear around)
The two of the dog are taken with +1 exposure compensation and look about a stop overexposed. I was put off a camera that I'm really tempted by until I looked at the exif. Is that the reaction you want to your galleries? I'd get a better exposed shot with my phone.
It should be a very useful focal length, I do a lot of professional work with 135L on 1DsIII and 1DIV and used to love the classic Minolta 100f2 on the KM7D.
Maybe its time to harness the power of dpreview - it users. Put the cameras and lenses into some good hands.
Wow, über sharp
But let's face it, it's not comparable with the Canon 135L for portrait pictures, the canon melts the bg completely.
But the oly can easily be the better landscape lens, it's much more portable
I don't think its angle of view allows it to be a good landscape lens. Normally wide-angle lenses are used for that purpose, and this is a telephoto.
I wouldn't classify lenses as "portrait" or "landscape" lenses by their focal length alone. There are plenty of examples of phenomenal landscape photographs taken with lenses > 50mm, just as I've seem some remarkable people photographs taken with lenses < 35mm.
Yea, that's conventional thinking, yet I've seen many stunning landscape pics taken with telephoto lenses.
Sharpness is crucial for landscape, and the oly delivers
For portraits, IMHO sharp is enough, no need to be über sharp
Of course telephoto lenses are useful for landscape photography. Isolating a mountain range, a distant tree, a large setting sun are all examples of the types of images telephotos excel at. Lanscape photography doesn't always mean wide-angle photography.
150mm equivalent = landscape lens?!?
Of course you can always use telephoto lenses for landscape photography, but you'll be using it to isolate a subject - a mountain, a tree or whatever. You need lenses that give you a perception of depth and a panoramic vision when you photograph a landscape, not ones that compress perspective. Saying wide-angles are for portraits and telephotos for isolating subjects is, of course, too generic, but it's a useful rule of thumb. So don't give me that "conventional thinking" thing.
The quality of these samples is embarrassing. Seems like DPR doesn't put much effort into taking non-technical photos anymore. For much better ones, see Robin Wong's review:
I completely agree with you, there are substantial issues with these photos across the board. Non-critical focus, focused everywhere but the eyes, little or no attention paid to background, therefore leaving us just to guess at what quality of bokeh the glass may have. I won't even get started on exposure and color grading.
"The Olympus 75mm ƒ/1.8 is one of the sharpest lenses we've ever tested. It is tack-sharp even wide open at ƒ/1.8, gets a little sharper through to ƒ/8, and stays sharp even stopped down to ƒ/16. At ƒ/22 there is a bit of diffraction limiting that exhibits a little generalized softness."
What's with all the high iso shots (?) .. this is a lens test not a sensor test. I'm sorry i hate to be one of the complainers for once but this gallery is 80% awful.
Highlights seem to blow easily with this combo.
Actually, I think it's the positive exposure compensation that's blowing the highlights.
"Shutter speed < 1/Focal Lenght" rule does not work for u4/3 lenses without optical stabilisation, some pictures are good examples for this. I would suggest SS < 1/FLin35mmEquiv
It's a rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
Some photographers have a very steady hand, others will need even shorter exposures.
And the longer the exposure, the bigger the risk of the subject moving - if you shoot moving subjects, that is.
DPReview posts sample gallery...free visitors gripe about quality of photos...and the world spins on :D
I think the sample gallery would have benefitted from a few more contextual portraits, not the uber-tight headshots presented.
As far as the ISO 8000 shots - C'mon people, look at the shutter speeds, around 1/100s, it's not rocket science.
It's not about free vs paid visitors, it's about so called experts presenting a high quality new optic where you would at the very least expect a bit more energy and effort than hand-held snapshots.
Shutter speed 1/100 is too slow for this lens. 1/150 is the minimum as you have to account for the 2x crop of the sensor.
And there's no reason to shoot ISO 8000 for static shots. Such high ISOs softens images, and negates the resolution a lens might normally offer. Do people not use tripods anymore or think about lighting?
Erm, were these not shot on an OM-5D (edit - seems to have been a GH-2 I think, so scratch the IBIS talk) I can't seem to get to the ice cream shot now, but if you've got IBIS, that's the entire point of shooting at below 1/35mmE-Focal speeds.
Also, I don't know many people that bring tripods and studio lighting to an ice cream parlor. I'm not saying it was the best shot in the world, but you guys are expecting world-class shooting from a HARDWARE REVIEW SITE.
No trolling, but all I can say, after seeing these pictures, is that my OM 50mm/f1.4 is not jeopardised.
However, we must take into account that micro 4/3 sensors have a tendency to clip highlights, and photos taken with these cameras need some sharpening and highlight correction in post-production to look tonally balanced.
That said the pictures are sharp and bokeh is nice, also showing no signs of distortion or chromatic aberrations. Whether that justifies the high price asked for this lens is up to each one. As I said, I have a classic lens that does the same job, despite the focal length difference which will make me get a little closer to the subject.
I don't think all M43 cameras have the issues you claim, most notably the OM-D and GH2. The older sensor cameras do have less DR, but I'm not sure what you mean about the sharpening. You can vary this in camera, or else shoot RAW.
Of course. You can't sharpen images in-camera when you shot RAW.
And these images are proof that overexposure still persists with the new gen m4/3 sensors. (They're also proof that those foolish "equivalent aperture" theories are wrong, by the way...)
I think they were shot over-exposed on purpose. Look at the exposure compensation values.
Hm, i don't think that this collection shows anything about the capabilities of this lens. We all know that you guys can do much better.
My suggestion:
Please remove this collection and show a link to a more meaningful one like
Thanks for the link. Chalk and cheese, Robin got some really great shots and shows the lens in much better light.
However, I think folks will complain whatever DPR do because if they present neutral images, they won't look as good as they could, and if they process to taste, some will complain they are processed. But I do think these DPR samples should have been better. Bad day at the office.
What is the point of making sample pictures for a f1.8 lens with ISO 8000 ?????
To me, this is utter nonsense.
A significant part of the images is completely useless for assessing the quality of the lens.
From what I can judge from the samples, it does not impress me a bit. My old 50mm Pentax 1,7 with adapter and my Canon 85mm/1,8 EF with adapter are doing much greater in every aspect on a GH2 as well as a G3. Albeit manual.
I think I can do a better job here, at least I won't put on those out of focus and blurry pictures. :D
What I don't get are all the ISO 8000 shots. When your testing a lens wouldn't want to avoid such extremes? It's not D4 and not a camera test.
If you can't get a fast enough shutter speed use a tripod or flash, especially for static shots. Ice cream doesn't move unless you count the melting.
Thats irrelevant. Having a few shots at high ISO does not get in the way of judging other pics at base ISO first and then, for serving as an example, the picture did not need to be an action shot.
Of course, a tripod would have been used normally..
A very poor effort on the part of the photographer. I can only imagine how the people at Olympus will feel when they get to see these shots. And quite rightfully so.
Amusing - everyone banging on about how MFT does not offer shallow enough DoF, and yet put this lens in the hands a (presumably) competent photographer in (presumably) a bit of a hurry and they trip over the shallow DoF all the time.
The answer being of course that very shallow DoF is a Special Effect that needs Special Care - of the type not being exercised here :-)
I have to say this is a very poor set of photographs, on some it is difficult to find a sharp point of focus. for instance the picture of the metalwork brackets. Surely, DPreview, you can come up with better samples than this. Having looked at the Robin Wong pictures they certainly seem to be a whole lot better than these. As somebody has pointed out the reflection in the sunglasses is not of a photographer taking great care over sample shots!
Great lens, silly FL Olympus. You should have made this a 60 f/1.8 and the macro a 75 f/2.8. I'll buy the macro, but not this lens. The 45 f/1.8 is already a little gem and a more useful FL. If only it were all metal like the 75.
Forget this hatchet job. Look at Robin Wong real world samples:
Or more precisely:
Thanks a lot for thi link! Photos are great and the review much more in-depth!
Just goes to show that if you want to test something (or show what it can do... samples..) then put it in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing
Excellent - thanks for the link.
Maybe Olympus shold be sending their lenses to Robin to review. Impressive photos, never mind the lens, and the lens output in his hands is very impressive.
The link is not for vegans though !!
I agree. DPR's photos look just amateurish compared to Robin Wong's. The former fail to demonstrate the lens' abilities. And - Wong's photos are beautiful to look at.
What real shallow DOF? Remember that because of the format MTF lenses have DOF two stops down compared with FF. Thus 1.8 on MTF is 3.5 on FF. You would be better of with FF Zuiko 100/2.
on m4/3? that's a 200/4 without AF.
The equivalence police are out already... yawn... it makes me wonder exactly how thin some people need the DOF.
@blohum- it's not necessarily about "thin" DOF. Sometimes, it's just about how well diffused the background is rendered. As lajka infers, this Oly 75/1.8 only renders the background blur equivalent of an f/3.5 aperture on FF. People just need to know that before dropping $900 on this lens.
m43 has been around for 3 years and regular 43 and other crop sensor DSLRs for 10 years, it's not exactly news... and if you drop $900 on a lens and didn't understand this you have more money than sense...
Poor samples. I have no idea why Dpreview lets poorly taken samples be publiished as representation of lens performance. One example is the image with the girl wearing glasses. Download it, load in photoshop, enlarge the reflection of the photographer from the sunglass and check how she is taking that shot. That is no way to take review photos wide open. Shame the staff isn't taking their jobs seriously.
I agree. They obviously put so much effort into exemplary reviews; I wish they'd apply some of that diligence to the sample shots. At least have a set of scenes and f-stops to cover with each lens.
Thought this would be a real shallow DOF monster, but apparently it isn't...
You're better off with the 45mm f1.8... = smaller, fast AF, more useable focal length, equally sharp = waaay more "bang for buck"
Saying that a Canon (or Nikon) 85mm is as good (or better) than this Zuiko 75mm is complete rubbish (yes I owned one)
There are plenty of excellent examples from the Nikon and Canon 85mm and 100mm primes shot on APS-C that look just as good, if not better, than these examples. Oly is NOT the only manufacturer that is capable of producing a sharp medium-telephoto prime.
As for not quite being a shallow DOF monster, it's probably because the 150mm effective focal length forces you to shoot from farther back (greater subject distance) which counteracts the ability to get shallower DOF. Greater subject distance means greater DOF.
I used my Canon 85mm on APS-C + FF and basing on my personal experiences that was a world of difference with the samples here above. @ f1.8 = loads of purple fringing and not nearly as sharp...
Well... it's always possible that I owned a bad 85mm sample I guess
Why wouldn't a Canon or Nikon 85 1.8 be as good? The fast 85s from both are superb portrait lenses.
And the Nikon 85 1.4G, there's your bokeh-monster.
Once again, excited about seeing reactions to a new piece of equipment, only to be reminded that camera gear people are the worst in the internet, compounded by anything that has to do with micro 4/3. It never fails to bring out the cranks.
Well... OK lens... Something like budget SONY 85/2.8, but brighter. But nothing special, as Four Thirds 50/2 was for example...
Olympus lost that precious ability to make unique lenses. Too bad...
What does that even mean? Why ever bother posting anything?
I agree with Paul.
The real surprise is the amount of purple fringing in some shots. 4/3 lenses didn't use to have purple fringing at all.
Plus, the shallow DOF seems to be a problem for the E-M5's focusing system. Out of all portraits, only one seems to be clearly focused and sharp on the eyes. Some might say it's a photographer error but why should the dpreview testers be worse than the average photographer? After all, they use so many different cameras on a day-to-day basis.
IMO this is an average lens with slightly better IQ than a legacy lens but difficult to handle with AF.
Re Simon - the oof portraits are sloppy shots, not the lenses fault.
nice and all, if your into head shots....otherwise a useless FL.
Just like 24mm is a useless FL if you're not into landscapes and 400mm is a useless FL if you're not into wildlife, right?
That's a pretty narrow view.
@mister_roboto - I can't tell if you said that as a pun or not. After all, a 150mm effective perspective *is* a "pretty narrow view!" LOL.
This FL isn't "useless", but it's a bit limited in its use. It won't be the first lens on everyone's "buy" list, that's for sure. In fact, given the FL and its high price, it's more of a niche lens. But it's good that such a lens is at least offered, even though its sales volumes will probably be rather small.
Very true! I was exactly missing this FL and brightness when recently shooting at my daughters' performance. Black background, light on faces only. Oly 45/1.8 was doing very well but was too short.
Images 8 and 16 are most telling to me. Purple fringe is readily apparent and softness is pretty average for a fast prime used at max aperture.
Image 8 is a shot of obscenely glaring light reflection that they took probably on purpose just to see how the lens would respond, and there's very little purple and easily correctible. There are only a tiny amount of lenses that wouldn't show any purple on a shot like that. and they are all much pricier and heavier than this lens.
16 may look soft in the corners but it's because the wall is close enough so that the narrow DOF put the corners out of focus, it has nothing to do with corner sharpness. Also it's kind of funny that you are using a photo of a brick wall, a test subject that nobody shoots in real life, to attack the lens.
They are test shots of simple items and this lens isn't excelling. It's not doing terribly, but it certainly isn't beating primes that cost half or 1/4 its price. Go check out the recent Nikon 50mm gallery or the Panasonic 25mm f1.4 and you won't find purple fringe.
You can justify it how you would like, but you are wrong that most lenses would purple fringe. Some do, but not most.
This is, quite simply, a godly lens. A lens of this quality normally costs $2000 or more, and is of course much larger and heavier. The corners are razor sharp wide open, there is no light falloff or CA, there's really just about nothing to complain about here. Anyone who is a m/43 enthusiast should be racing to get this lens, based on these samples and the test results from SLRGear.
Actully, I think both Nikon and Canon 85 f1.8 can provide that performance, oh, and they have such performance for 35mm cmos.
And, for $900, you can buy them together. The only problem is not as sparkle as Olympus.
PS:Did I mention 85 1.8g is splash-resistent? well, never mind... just enjoy what you like and share your best shot with us.
well unless they are f1.4. still 2 grand is unheard of for an 85mm lens outside of german glass for specialty cameras like leica an zeiss
Wrong, the Canikon lenses have corner softness, light falloff, CA,, not to mention they are made of plastic. Only a fanboy or a troll/hater could think those lenses deliver this kind of performance.
your a total fool if you are telling me you can tell from these few samples the objective level of sharpness from ever part of the frame. Also id hardly call these acid test images. most of them are headshots. also 4/3rds is a small format witch is advantageous. the new nikon 85mm f1.8 g is a stellar lens that is as good as any prime of this length i have seen. And frankly some of shots look a bit soft to my eye
I would suggest look at the samples here instead...
Look at image 8 of the car. Focus is near the corner on the British flag emblem. It's not razor sharp and it has plenty of purple fringe. That's not a "godly" performance, it's an ordinary one.
the lens has already been tested by SLRGear, just compare their results with this lens to their results with any of the Canikon 85mm f/1.8 lenses, and this lens is longer than those (150mm vs 127.5mm).
Wow you found one tiny bit of purple on a single image, in which they shot the most absurd light reflection probably on purpose just to see what kind of aberation they would get. There's not a lens in the world short of maybe an exotic supertelephoto that won't show some purple from a shot like that, and as for the focus there is no way to tell exactly how sharp it is because the surface is totally flat and there is no texture detail, it is completely smooth. That image does however show what extremely shallow depth of field is possible, something the trolls have been constantly whining about.
And you are calling it "godly" based on some sharp centrally placed portraits. ANY prime can do that.
@IcyVeins, you're using the sensor format multiplier effect to claim that "this lens is longer"? Seriously? Sorry, but this is a 75mm lens. I guess that's why Oly calls it the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f1.8! I've been using my Canon 85/1.8 on my E-PM1 (using an EF-to-m4/3 adapter) which gives the effective perspective of a 170mm lens, but it's still an 85mm lens!
And no, this Oly lens is not "godly". It's about as good as the Canon 85/1.8 lens, which costs less than $400-- not $2000. I think you're letting your enthusiasm get away from you, causing you to say some rather absurd things.
As for shallow DOF, yeah, if you want to shoot with a 150mm effective lens! Yes, it's "possible", but with caveats. Keep in mind that larger formats can achieve these shallow depth of fields at shorter effective focal lengths. Every format has its pros and cons. Easy shallow DOF acquisition is not a big "pro" for m4/3.
I wouldnt say any prime most are soft wide wide open. but these look a little soft wide open too. seems to be the nature of the beast
T3 you're being ridiculous arguing semantics, it's plainly obvious that the lens will simulate a longer focal length and nobody cares about how long the physical lens is, only what kind of image it produces. I think you're letting your love of Canon cloud your judgment here, this lens is clearly better
IcyVeins, in real world shooting, I don't think it's really better than my Canon 85/1.8 which I've been using on m4/3. And you don't hear people calling the Canon 85/1.8 a "godly" lens! LOL. Besides, you're being a total hypocrite. The person who is "letting your love...cloud your judgement here" is the overly enthusiastic fanboy who has called this lens "a godly lens. A lens of this quality normally costs $2000 or more." Yeah, the Canon 85/1.2L costs $2000, but you're getting an f/1.2 lens, and it's full frame. This Oly lens is only f/1.8.
Is this Oly lens a good lens? Sure. It should be, because it's a prime lens, and most prime lenses have good optics. But a "godly" lens? Come on, if you even have an ounce of reasonableness inside you, you have to admit that that's a bit of an overstatement!!! LOL!
no its not semantics at all. its 75mm lens period. You can even put the canon and nikon lens on this one of these cameras and compare apples to apples. You get the optical effect of 75mm lens with the field of view of 150mm field of view. Personally i dont think that is that wonderful. Id rather have the optics of an actual 150mm lens
The Canon and Nikon lenses aren't designed to be used on m4/3, you have to use an adapter and there is no autofocus and they are larger because they cover a larger image circle. The only reasonable comparison is to compare each lens on the cameras for which they are intended to be used.
@IcyVeins- you're making a futile attempt to support your absurd claim that this is a "godly lens", which is just overly enthusiastic fanboy gushing. It's a good lens. Sure. A lot of primes are also good lenses. The Canon 85/1.8 on a Canon APS-C body, giving the equivalent of 135mm is an excellent lens, for less than $400. This Oly lens is more than twice that price, at $899. Is it more than twice as good as the Canon? No. As good? Sure. But you're also paying more than double the price. The Canon 100/2 lens, giving the equivalent of 160mm on APS-C, is also a very good lens. And it's only ~$470. There are plenty of really good prime lenses. Good primes aren't that uncommon, and they are definitely available for a lot less than $2000...even a lot less than $900, too!!!
The point is, your enthusiasm is commendable, but overblown. It's a good lens, but for $900, it should be.

Maybe supply extensions are not available? Maybe I just need to find a female-female coupling and add on another short supply line.

infoteam Software AG is developing a software platform called iLAB.
iLAB is a software platform providing a standards-based and intuitively operable way to monitor and visualize biotechnological processes. The foundation of iLAB is a well structured data base, and iLAB is connected to other equipment in a laboratory by the means of SiLA, a standardized interface for Lab Automation.
The integration of process modeling and the feedback of resulting actuating variables into the process facilitates a well documented online process optimization, thus improving the development of biotechnological processes significantly from screening to scale-up by reducing development time and increasing product yields.
iLAB simplifies the conversion of a biotechnological processes into industrial production scale by documenting the development process in a consistent manner.
The iLAB architecture is consequently based on SiLA as integration technology:
• To implement vendor independent device control interfaces
• To implement vendor independent data communication, integration and processing functions
The iLAB will be ready for use by pilot customers in autumn of 2013.

On Christmas Eve, we talked about a child who was born to save us. We talked about his purpose. Tonight, we see that baby, now grown, fulfill it. And I have to warn you - it's not pretty. No longer a cuddly little baby in swaddling clothes, this grown man had been beaten, stripped, mocked, whipped, and could barely physically drag his pulp of a body out to this hill for the climax of this cruelty. It is not pretty. Yet this Friday is Good, precisely because it is Him doing what He came for. In order to save us ...
Just a Thought: Did Jesus really rise from the dead? And does it really even matter? The answer to both questions is an emphatic YES!
Just a Thought: God will have His way; His will, will be accomplished. If this is so, why do we need to bother to do anything? Why don't we just sit back and "let God?"
I was blind for an hour. And that was enough. Granted, I paid for the privilege when that exhibit "Dialogue in the Dark" was in Atlantic Station. It gave you the chance to experience life blind for a short time. I'll just say it was an eye-opening experience. I don't know how truly blind people do it.
Last week, we started looking at Genesis 3, that story of the first sin, to try to understand why we do some of the things we do. We compared it to the victims in a horror movie opening the door that we know so much danger is behind. Like helpless moviegoers, we watched Adam and Eve walk through that door. We saw how dangerous Satan's lies are to lead us to sin.
Just a Thought: Have you ever contemplated death? No, I don't mean causing death, just "death." Where did it come from? Why does it come? What hope do we have in light of God's truth: "…you are dust, and to the dust you will return" (Gen.3:19) "What man can live and not see death?" (Ps. 89:48a) It is appointed for men to die…(Heb. 9:27; James 4:14).
Just a Thought: Let the church rise up!
I just can't watch horror movies. I get too frustrated. You see, it bugs me that they always go through that door.
Do you have any features that look like your mom's or dad's? Maybe you have his eyes, her nose or some other characteristic. Do you have any of your heavenly Father's features? "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God…" (Rev.4:8) But what about His children? We are told throughout scripture that we are to be as He is; (Lev. 11:44a; 19:2; 20:7,26; 1 Peter 1;15; 1 John 1:7).
Last Wednesday, at about midnight, one guy shoved something up my dad's nose, another person shoved something down his throat, and then the kicker – this guy took a knife and cut my dad's midsection wide open. And we thanked him for it.
Psalms 139 is the strongest, most undeniable argument for when "life" begins in the womb. This passage makes it very clear all life is divinely ordained by God, formed by God, and designed by and developed by God. Having said that, let's talk about our own life.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-14 (Contemporary English Version): "What do we gain by all of our hard work? I have seen what difficult things God demands of us. God makes everything happen at the right time.
Page 1 of 1
Martin Luther, said, "To try to deny the Trinity endangers your salvation; to try to comprehend the Trinity endangers your sanity."
"O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me."
Psalm 119: 105 (New Living Translation) Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
Has it ever dawned on you that what you are about to say to someone may be the last words you ever get to speak to them? Does that change anything in what you say, or in how you say it?
I have discovered this principle of life - that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I ...
Last week, we looked at the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) and heard Jesus tell that sinful tax collector "Today, salvation has come to this house."
Change is inevitable.
There are certain "todays" that matter more than others.
The Bible uses a bunch of stories to tell us why Jesus came.
Water management is an ongoing challenge in Georgia.
1 Peter 3:15b-16 "And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ."
Last week we wrestled with the question of how we know if our faith is strong. We empathized with those disciples on the road to Emmaus on Easter Sunday evening (Luke 24:13-35) shaken to their very core, doubting everything they thought they believed. But then Jesus came along and showed them who he was.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of King James of England authorizing the translation of the Bible commonly known as the King James Version. He commissioned six committees (42 men, no women) to come up with a common translation of the Bible that would be the standard text of the realm. Their work began in 1604 and was completed in 1611.
So how long did your Easter high last? Do you know what I'm talking about - that rush of spirituality that just seems to be in the air around Easter - with all the special music and the attention to religion given - even on TV? It all comes together to get the Christian's heart burning with excitement, with love, with joy and hope.
Every year, Easter is such a high, singing hymns celebrating the victory Jesus has won for us. I pray you had a chance to get to church and enjoy the excitement of joining with others celebrating the gift of life we've been given.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By John Richardson firstname.lastname@example.com

Former Gov. Angus King will be Maine's next U.S. Senator, winning one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country, according to the Associated Press.
Angus King waves to supporters as he takes the stage in Freeport on Tuesday night after being declared the winner for the race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Olympia Snowe.

Angus King supporters cheer in Freeport on Tuesday night upon seeing CNN call Angus King the winner of the U.S. Senate race in Maine.
Gregory Rec / Staff Photographer
The independent who hopes to shake up partisan gridlock spoke to supporters in Freeport just before 9 p.m.
"Tonight the people of Maine have said, 'Enough. This far and no farther. We respect political differences, but we want to move a little closer to the center, to solutions ... to mutual respect.' That's the message of today's election," King said. "Today, we got a little closer."
The 68-year-old, Harley Davidson-riding, politically independent former two-term governor weathered a storm of negative television ads from out-of-state groups trying to elect a Republican majority to the Senate.
The race topped $10 million in total spending, including roughly $4 million from outside groups attacking King and about $3 million spent by groups – including national Democrats – that came to his defense.
Republican nominee Charlie Summers has arrived at the Regency Hotel in Portland to applause from his supporters. But Summers has not yet conceded.
Summers told a crowd of about 30 people at the Portland Regency that he is not ready to give up the race until more votes are counted.
"We will monitor things as they go along and come back in a little while," he said. The crowd applauded.
Democratic nominee Cynthia Dill is watching returns at her home and plans to speak later to supporters at Bayside Bowl in Portland.
King will replace Republican Olympia Snowe, who held the seat for 18 years and was one of the Senate's most moderate members.
Snowe was considered a shoo-in for re-election until she shocked the political world with her announcement in February that she would retire because of the polarized, hyper-partisan atmosphere in the Senate.
King has been the frontrunner since just days after Snowe's announcement, when he said he was running to break through the gridlock that drove Snowe to retire and stalled Congressional action on the debt and the economy.
While Summers was not conceding, Snowe called King to congratulate him.
"I have known Angus for many years and worked closely with him on issues critical to Maine during his two terms as Governor," Snowe said in a written statement on the results. "I know he cares deeply about Maine people and the future of our nation, and I called him this evening to congratulate him on his victory. We had a very good conversation -- I offered anything I could do to assist him with a smooth transition, and we will be meeting toward that end in the near future."
Maine's soon-to-be senior senator, Republican Susan Collins, also issued a written statement congratulating King.
"I'm sure that Angus and I will be meeting soon to discuss committee assignments and how we can work together to meet the challenges facing our state and our nation," Collins said.
King, a Brunswick resident, served as Maine's independent governor from 1995 to 2003 and afterward founded a wind energy business, lectured at Bowdoin and served on the boards of several businesses.
He will be one of two independents in the Senate along with Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But, while Sanders is one of the Senate's most liberal voices, King is a political moderate and said he intends to build a centrist coalition to try to break through the partisan gridlock that has stalled action on the federal debt and job-creation bills.
King has refused to say which party he would side with if the Senate ends up evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, although both parties clearly expect him to caucus with the Democrats.

When you build a resort hotel with the convention market in mind, building connectivity into the design creates a huge advantage. Proof of this can be seen at Gaylord Palms, the new 1,406-room convention resort hotel in Kissimmee, Fla., which isn't the perfect venue for meetings with heavy connectivity requirements. But it's close.
Like its sibling, Gaylord's Opryland in Nashville, it features vast, glass-enclosed theme areas. But there the obvious similarities end. When it comes to providing voice, data, and video networking and connection to the Internet, Gaylord Palms leaves comparable venues in the dust. When Cisco Systems came to plan a couple of upcoming events, they told Tim Fielding, technology solutions manager at Gaylord Palms, that for the first time they'd be able to leave all their back-end equipment at home — the resort's network would be sufficient. (Gaylord Palms is, as Fielding is quick to point out, "100 percent Cisco-powered.")
There are about 400 miles of copper and fiber cable at the hotel — enough to reach from Kissimmee to Atlanta — capable of handling up to 4,000 individual circuits. Fielding, a veteran of Lucent's Network Consulting business, has introduced the "standard footprint." This is an outlet box that is placed on 30-foot centers in the 178,000-square-foot exhibition hall, and about every 10 feet in the hallways and breakout rooms of the 400,000-square-foot convention center. The box has two Category 3 connections for standard phone service, two Category 5e connections for such high-capacity applications as fast Ethernet or VoIP (voice over Internet protocol), and two "ultra" multimode fiber connections that will work as well as single mode does for video, within certain distance limitations. Those preferring wireless connections can be accommodated via the quick installation of 802.11b ("Wi-Fi") wireless access points. The boxes are positioned in the 61 meeting rooms so that, in most cases, three of four walls can be used as the "front."
The upshot is that the only limit on the number of computers and peripherals that can be networked are space and the limits of the electrical power grid.
Make Friends with BellSouth
Gaylord Palms has a T3 line on standby, which feeds into the BellSouth network, which in turn hands off to Qwest, the local ISP. And Gaylord Palms is proud of its relationship with BellSouth. While every convention center IS manager has learned the importance of such relationships, Gaylord Palms has formalized them, holding regular meetings with BellSouth engineers. This means that, for example, additional DS-3 (phone or data equivalent to T3) service can be arranged in as little as three weeks.
All 45 Mbps of the hotel's T3 line are allocatable, so groups don't compete for bandwidth with other events — or the hotel's administrative system, which is on a completely separate network.
The Price Is Right
Gaylord Palms also has the ability to build intranets to link the exhibition hall, meeting rooms, and guest rooms. There's no need to worry about overflow at a breakout session — latecomers can watch from their rooms. And the price of network service is definitely right. The hotel charges a flat fee, not a daily fee.
One last surprise: a 362-room, high-end, hotel-within-the-hotel called Emerald Bay. Guest rooms include a free Ethernet connection to the Internet. Be sure you and your attendees bring network cards and RJ45 connectors!
Where's the imperfection? By the time you read this, it may be gone. A strip of floor in the pre-function area of the convention center doesn't have standard footprint boxes. Fielding assures one and all that connectivity will be there ASAP.

USD med school receives $10M by David Lias The University of South Dakota School of Medicine will receive $10 million over the next decade from Sioux Valley Hospitals and Health Systems.
The funding will put the medical school at forefront of the nation's research into the leading health maladies of the day.
Sioux Valley and USD officials made the announcement of the growing financial partnership of the two entities at a press conference held at the USD Science Center in Sioux Falls where a Cardiovascular Research Institute is taking shape.
"This is actually an investment, a formation of a growing partnership between the USD School of Medicine and Sioux Valley Hospital," said Kelby Krabbenhoft, president and chief executive officer of the Sioux Valley system, in a phone interview with the Plain Talk Wednesday.
University of South Dakota President James Abbott said Wednesday that there is no question that USD's medical school took a giant step forward Tuesday thanks to Sioux Valley's commitment.
"We know that we have the talent (to conduct medical research)," Abbott said. "The continuing financial support by Sioux Valley, however, allows the university to not only retain that talent, but also allow those talented individuals to be involved in significant research along with fulfilling their teaching responsibilities."
Sioux Valley and USD School of Medicine officials organized the South Dakota Health Research Foundation last November. While the foundation will look at supporting research in other areas, it will concentrate first on heart failure.
The foundation was developed to serve as a mechanism for both organizations to fulfill the research roles identified in their mission statements through cooperative efforts.
This represents a commitment to an ongoing relationship that collectively supports and promotes the pursuit of the highest caliber publishable research, Krabbenhoft said.
The $10 million committed to the foundation by Sioux Valley will be distributed over the next 10 years, in $1 million amounts annually.
"The most important aspect of the investment," he said, "is its long-term nature."
Sioux Valley's investment to the foundation, Krabbenhoft added, will come from the health system's financial reserves.
"We have reserves in saving, and we invest those savings to maximize their potential," he said. "The return on that has been good, and it was decided that the foundation was a good place to invest some of those funds."
The research priorities of the foundation are the development and delivery of quality medical and healthcare services, the advancement of medical or scientific knowledge and skills, and the support of health science education research benefiting residents, health professionals and the general public.
The foundation is governed by a board of executives from Sioux Valley, The University of South Dakota, and the USD School of Medicine.
Every year, Krabbenhoft said, the foundation will try to solicit requests from the best medical researchers in the country.
"I think medical research can be and should be the direction where the USD School of Medicine should be headed, and we certainly couldn't do that without the investment from Sioux Valley," Abbott said.
Abbott doesn't envision a new medical research center built of bricks and mortar as he looks to the medical school's future.
"This is not so much a financial allocation to the facilities," he said. "It's the allocation to the research that's the most important.
"The hope is it will involve personnel from both Sioux Falls and Vermillion, with staff at both the undergraduate and graduate school level," Abbott added.
Abbott believes that "the sky is the limit" when one considers the USD Medical School's potential for substantive research.
"Nothing springs to life completed," he said. "When you look at anything that is substantial in this world, you realize that it started small and simply grew. Our efforts at medical research may be in an embryo stage right now, but this certainly is a great development that occurred this week. We now have the potential to perform medical research that we couldn't do before."
Martin Gerdes, the director of the Cardiovascular Institute at The University of South Dakota School of Medicine's Health Science Center in Sioux Falls, said that before this week, there was a danger that the medical school would begin to lag behind in its research efforts.
"If we hadn't developed a heart research center here," he said, "our medical school would have become less and less competitive."
"Obviously, I think this is a tremendous plus for the school of medicine, for Sioux Valley, and for the university," said Robert Talley, M.D., vice president and dean of the USD School of Medicine.
One of the programs being supported by the South Dakota Health Research Foundation, he said, is a cardiovascular research institute.
"We're bringing in some researchers; we're putting together an excellent staff to work on research in congestive heart failure," he said. "What we hope to do is to isolate the health signals that make it (heart failure) occur, and also the signals that make it reversible."
Talley shared Gerdes' view that the USD School of Medicine has had trouble in the past keeping pace with other medical institutions in research activities. That problem should now be eliminated, thanks to Sioux Valley's investment, he said.
"One of the areas that the university hasn't really developed is in clinical medicine," he said. "We need to make that jump between basic science and clinical medicine."
Sioux Valley's investment, he said, will stimulate and nurture the clinical sciences at the medical school.
"This should be a stimulus to help us conduct other types of medical research, such as in the area of renal disease, for example," he said. "This will allow us to be much more competitive. It will allow us to bring more dollars into South Dakota for research, especially through NIH grants."

It is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, and forming adenosine triphosphate (ATP, the energy the body runs on). The secretion and action of insulin also require magnesium. Nuts and grains are good sources of magnesium. Beans, dark green vegetables, fish, and meat also contain significant amounts.
Magnesium deficiency is common in people taking "potassium-depleting" prescription diuretics. Taking too many laxatives can also lead to deficiency. Alcoholism, severe burns, diabetes, and heart failure are other potential causes of deficiency. Deficiency may also occur in people with chronic diarrhea, pancreatitis, and other conditions associated with malabsorption.
Fatigue, abnormal heart rhythms, muscle weakness and spasm, depression, loss of appetite, listlessness, and potassium depletion can all result from a magnesium deficiency. People with these symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor before taking magnesium supplements. As previously mentioned, magnesium levels have been found to be low in people with chronic fatigue syndrome. Deficiencies of magnesium that are serious enough to cause symptoms should be treated by medical doctors, as they might require intravenous administration of magnesium.

On Jan. 16th, mixed martial arts invaded the city of Cincinnati, Ohio at the Metropolis Nightclub with ICE 7: Meltdown in Metropolis. Starting out as an amateur show, Monte Cox and Kerry Schall were able to bring in some of the biggest names in MMA to help promote the show and bring MMA to a new level in the Cincinnati area. Although Ohio does not allow professional fights, Cox and Schall were able to bring in solid names to the delight of the crowd in attendance. The show was headlined by world-class fighters Jeremy Horn and Amir Rahavardi, both of whom were fighting for free, for the excitement of the fans. Matt Hughes was the honorary referee and was in charge of the action in the ring. I, for one, was very excited about the show, not only having the opportunity to see how big MMA can possibly be in the Cincinnati area, but also to meet and greet some of the worlds best mixed martial artists in the world.
The show started out with a solid fight between two evenly matched fighters in Dave Cochran and Mike Werner. This match featured a very entertaining 3 rounds in which Cochran attempted various submission attempts, while Werner was successful in avoiding the submissions and countering with his own reversals and pounding style. In the end, the fight went to the score cards and was too close to call as one judge saw it for Cochran, one for Werner, and one saw it as a draw. Overall, a very solid fight and a good way to get the crowds blood pumping for the other fights.
The next fight pitted a very solid 250 lb. Fighter in Jonathan Murphy from Minersville, PA, taking on 240 lb. Shaun Coffman from New Lebanon OH. Both had their own game plan in mind, with Murphy looking for the shot at various times, while Coffman was determined to stand up throwing punches from the outside. Just as it seemed the Murphy was gassing out, he threw a right hand that connected solid on Coffmans face, staggering the big man. Murphy looked shocked after the punch and almost seemed like he knew Coffman was out on his feet. Suddenly, Coffmans legs collapsed and he went crumbling into the corner of the cage. Murphy won by KO, stopping Coffman with a right hand at 1:45 into round 1.
The final fight before the first intermission was between two Dayton OH fighters in Ricky Hutchins and Nathan Fitch. The entrance for these two fighters actually lasted longer than the fight itself. As the fight started, Fitch immediately went in for a shoot and was grabbed by Hutchins with a front face lock. He then locked in a guillotine choke and locked his legs around the waist of Fitch. As Fitch tried to fight off the submission attempt, he fell over and attempted to tap, but it was too late. Referee Matt Hughes quickly noticed that Fitch was out and immediately stopped the fight. Fitch was nearly choked unconscious, but was o.k. after a few minutes with the doctor. Hutchins was victorious via guillotine choke at 0:33 seconds into round 1.
The next fight after intermission pitted Jim Bova from Pennsylvania against Billy Rush out of Carlie, Ohio and training out of Meat Truck Inc. This was mainly a standup battle as each fighter picked their targets and attempted to blast each other from the outside. Both fighters were very comparable in fighting style and this fight looked to go a while. Into round two, the tide changed dramatically as Bova was able to take Rush down and began throwing left hands against the side of Rushs head. After taking what seemed to be five or so straight punches with no defence, Hughes stopped the fight at 1:46 of round 2 and Bova was awarded the win by referee stoppage.
The fifth fight of the night originally had Jason Willis taking on Clay Coffman, but Coffman was unable to make the fight, thus Cowboy Kenny, Williss teammate, stepped in and they had a submission grappling match instead. Both fighters gave it their all, highlighted by Willis performing about three different slams against Kenny. Each fighter had their share of reversals and chances, but it seemed that neither could ever get close to any submission attempts. In the end, neither was able to submit the other and this fight was declared a draw.
The next fight pitted Jerrod Doss from Brookville, OH against Tank Abbott look-a-like Keith The Hunter Cutts out of Detroit representing Team Shoot. This fight did not last very long as Cutts was able to take Doss down and immediately locked in a vicious neck crank where Doss had no option but to tap. Cutter taps out Doss at 1:04 of round 1 by neck crank.
The next fight was one of the main attractions as it featured Pride veteran Amir Rahavardi taking on Trevor Garrett out of Dayton Ohio. To say that this fight was a mismatch was a true understatement. The fight started with Rahavardi and Garrett feeling each other out. They circled the ring, and suddenly Garrent was able to take Rahavardi down. But just as it seemed that he might have the upper hand, Rahavardi slipped on a vicious triangle choke and Garrett was forced to tap at 1:01 of round 1. The fans booed the performance of Garrett, which I felt was somewhat unnecessary. This fight was already a mismatch on paper and was more for the fans to see a world-class fighter in Rahavardi display his talents and skills to the audience. Rahavardi proved to be too experienced and walked away from the cage with an easy victory.
The eighth fight of the night pitted Ryan Rinsheid against Dan Swift. During much of the first round, it was Rinsheid getting the better of the exchanges. Both were striking effectively throughout the first with Rinsheid getting a little better of Swift. Suddenly into round 2, Swift locked in Rinsheid and cinched a guillotine choke in forcing him to tap. The submission was quick as Rinsheid to tapped at 0:31 seconds into round 2.
Probably, the most exciting fight of the night pitted local Cincinnati fighter Mojo Horn taking on Gerald Pierson. Horn had a huge following as he entered the cage with thunderous applause from the crowd. As the fight began, both traded bombs standing up and both were getting good shots into each other. Suddenly, Pierson was able to take Horn down and manoeuvred himself into the full mount. He began throwing down heavy leather onto Horn, who did his best to avoid the onslaught. Then, just when you thought Horn was almost done, he reverses Pierson and begins raining down his own punches. Horn even lands a few vicious elbows that caused the cage to shake as he landed them. Pierson did his best to cover up and eventually gives up his arm to Horn who executes a perfect armbar and forced Pierson to submit at 2:20 into round 1. The crowd showed its appreciation for both fighters as they received a standing ovation for a great fight.
As the night drew on, suddenly it was time for the 2 headlining fights of the night. The tenth fight of the night pitted Indianapolis fighter Leo Sylvest from Integrated Fight Systems against local Cincinnati fighter Greg Franklin. Greg Franklin, who had his brother Rich Franklin in his corner, looked like a very determined fighter looking to please the Cincinnati crowd, who was 100 percent behind their local fighter. As the fight began, Sylvest went in for the shot to attempt to bring Franklin down, but was unsuccessful. They both were up against the fence, when suddenly Sylvest threw a knee that was a low blow that everyone in attendance gasped at. Franklin fell to all fours in pain from the accidental low blow and the fight was stopped for the moment. It was determined that Franklin was to get a five minute rest period to try to recoup from the low blow. The fans showed their displeasure by booing Sylvest who marched around the ring mocking the crowd. Chants of Lets go Greg! echoed throughout the crowd as Franklin fought his way back up to his feet and decided to continue. The fight began, but everyone could tell that Franklin was still hurting from the previous blow. Slyvest capitalized as the fight was resumed and went in immediately for the takedown. He was successful and manoeuvred his way on top of Franklin, securing the full mount. Slyvest began raining down punches and Franklin was unable to defend himself. Hughes had no choice but to jump in and call a stop to the fight at 1:24 of round 1 due to strikes. Although I believe that if the low blow had never happened, this fight could have ended dramatically different, this should not take anything away form the solid win by a very game Sylvest.
The main event of the night pitted UCC and King of the Cage champion Jeremy Horn taking on another veteran in Dayton, Ohio fighter Ron Fields. Horn who has fought all over the world was eager to display his talents and abilities to a crowd that probably has never had the opportunity to see someone of his calibre fight live. He was determined not to disappoint. Fields came into the fight stating that Horn was one of his fighting idols, but was looking forward to the opportunity to take on the champion. As the fight began, it looked to be a slugfest. Both came into the fight with the game plan to knock the other fighter out, which was a recipe for a very exciting fight for the fans. For the majority part of round 1, both traded thunderous leg kicks and powerful punches, each almost landing at will. Horn showed his ability to slip punches and counter as Fields threw punches, but Fields proved that his kickboxing skills were nothing to be taken lightly. Horn landed some devastating legs kicks towards the end of round 1 and Fields looked to be feeling the effects each time they landed. Fields was able to escape out of round 1, but looked to be a beaten fighter headed into round 2.
Round 2 began exactly where round 1 left off. Horn began displaying his kickboxing clinic and was able to inflict more damage to the legs and body of Fields. Midway through the round, Horn runs in and was successful in taking down Fields against the fence. Helpless against the fence, Horn begins throwing punches as Fields began to cover up. Then suddenly, Horn stands up and throws a fight ending knee into the abdomen of Fields who submits. The knee looked like it went completely through Shields and hit the cage behind him. I would not be surprised if Fields suffered a broken rib from the knee. Horn was victorious at 3:01 of round 2 and proved once again that he is one of the best fighters in the world today.
During each intermission, fans were lucky enough to meet and speak to such MMA fighters as Tim Sylvia, Jens Pulver, Matt Hughes, and Rich Franklin. This was the perfect opportunity to meet some of your favourite fighters as they signed t-shirts, trading cards, and promotional pictures. Each fighter was very happy and willing to converse with fans, taking pictures and answering questions about their careers and their future fights. This was truly a class act on the part of the fighters. The ability to converse with fans in a setting such as this, truly made this production a very special one. When does anyone in the Cincinnati area get the opportunity to meet MMA stars, without having to travel to either the west or east coast? All of these fighters should be commended for giving the fans of this area the opportunity to meet world-class fighters and speak to them on a one on one basis throughout the night. Class acts all around. Looking back on ICE show, most of the fights were very exciting, even without all of the big names. As mixed martial arts continues to become mainstream in todays society, events such as these, provide regions that do not regularly have big shows, the opportunity for fighters of all calibers to display their individual talents in the cage or ring. I, for one, must commend Monte Cox and Kerry Schall for giving the people of Cincinnati a taste of professional mixed martial arts. The show was successful, and I hope others had just as much fun as I did watching and meeting some of the best fighters in the world. Thanks Monte and Kerry for a job well done.
KO of the night: Jonathan Murphys thunderous KO punch against Shaun Coffman. Submission of the night: Keith Cutts vicious neck crank against Jerrod Doss.

When i try to go to Comixology on my Xbox One or PS4 i get an error, will there ever be a Comixology app for either of these consoles? Thank you for your time!
Asked by blackdelegation
Whoa, can we have the Xbox One?
Our nightly battles of Halo 4 and FIFA 14 on a 360 is old school these days. We can pay in tacos. And by "pay" we mean point you to the nearest Chipotle.
No word of an app for Xbox One or PS4, but that would be slick as all get out. We'll pass the request to our team!

Wonderful atmosphere and great service! – I have been going to Kangen Nail Spa for many months. I am always warmly greeted by the entire staff and always receive great service. I appreciate that I have my own bag with nail file and buffer that are used exclusively for me. In addition I know that all the instruments have been sterilized in an autoclave. As with many nail salons, the majority of the employees are Vietnamese, but the management insists that everyone speak English. I really appreciate that concession to the customers. By the way, my husband enjoys the services at Kangen Nail Spa as well.
Great Place wiht a Great Staff – My first time to this Nail Spa Kangen was amazing. The staff was so friendly. They kept asking to make sure I was comfortable and OK. I don't trust everyone with my nails because I have had some bad experiences before. After going here I will always come back. Everything there is clean and that is something I really like. Just want to say thanks for their kind service and what a great job they do. I would recommend this place to anyone in Tulsa looking to get there nails done.
Thank you for your kind words. We really try hard here to make sure all of our customers are happy and have a great experience with us. Please take advantage of our repeat customer discounts.

I had a great birthday today with my nails lady. Thank you Halle ...You're awesome
Thanks so much for being such a loyal customer. We would love to see you soon, again
Love this place!!!!! – I'm a groupon customer for a facial massage today. This is the best place I have ever had my facial massage done. The ladies overthere are so sweet and patient. They 're communicating in english, that suprises me alot. They really respect customers, that why I aslo bought a gift card at this place for my monm. I'm a picky one and there are rarely spa could satify me, but Kangen.
The worst place ever! Do not ever go there – I had a really bad experience. I feel that it was a waste of money. I had the worst experience ever. The person that massaged me did not know how to massage. I doubt if she was certified. I felt that she was petting me. I even felt pain. I have bruises in my legs. She offered to use hot stones and she put some much pressure on me. She almost chocked my neck. She also touch me with her oily hands on my face and I had to tell her to stop. Then she made my hair oily because she was touching my head with oil at hands. She was not massaging my head. Instead she made a mess of my hair. It was disgusting. Plus the massage was supposed to last 1 hour but she finished earlier than the time she was supposed. Furthermore she kept going in and out of the room. She was interrupting the massage. She massaged my legs and then she went out for more than 5 minutes and then she came back massaged me a little bit and then went out of the room again. It was really bad. The place sucks! And when I complained to the manager she did not treat me nicely. She was really impolite and instead of apologizing she made some ridiculous excuses that the would be late for the next appointment and that it took me a long time to change clothes. This is ridiculous. I had arrived there 20 minutes earlier and they asked me to change clothes when the massage was supposed to start and then she stole 10 minutes of the massage. I drove for 2 hours to go to this place. The whole experience was bad and instead of relaxing I did not not. I was feeling stressed the whole time. DO NOT EVER GO THERE!!!!!! The lady that did the massage did not have any experience. My 15 year old sister can do a better job. Plus they were asking desperately for tip. They were so rude.
Thank you for your review. Because of it we have had several meetings with the staff and all your issues should be resolved. If your massage was too hard I do apologize and would love to make it right for you. We take our customer input very seriously and will do everything in our power to make your next visit with us a great one. You will get a discount on your next visit with us.

Overpriced and medicore service, and BAD customer service – If I could give this zero stars I would. I had the worst experience at this place. I went in to get a 30 minute facial. At the time I was leaving the manager asked me to tip the lady. I left the tip in the room, I told her yes and she then proceeded to yell across the salon to ask the girl who gave my facial how much I had left. I left $5 in the room only because I though I should pay her something for her time, even though I was not impressed with the service at all. The manager told me this was not enough and that 20% was minimum. I was appalled by this!! Not only did she demand a tip, but she totall embarrassed me in front of everyone, and then she insulted me. I told her that was all that I wanted to tip because I was not happy with the facial. The quality was bad, the products they used were below standards, and the lady had no license in cosmetology. She was literally choking my neck and pinching my neck nerves during the massage. I cannot believe the nerve of this woman to ASK for a tip, and then tell me that it was not enough! Very unprofessional.
Thank you for your review. Because of it we have had several meetings with the staff and all your issues should be resolved. If your massage was too hard I do apologize and would love to make it right for you.

Gah, sorry this took so long - should've been done ages ago, especially since I've been off school all week due to black ice and snow. I just couldn't quite figure out how to do it, but then I had a look at your thread, and suddenly thought, "Hey, what about the themes?" So here you go:

Summary of What Are You Looking At? Summary of What Are You Looking At? Reviews for What Are You Looking At? An Excerpt from What Are You Looking At?
For skeptics, art lovers, and the millions of us who visit art galleries every year—and are confused—What Are You Looking At? by former director of London's Tate Gallery Will Gompertz is a wonderfully lively, accessible narrative history of Modern Art, from Impressionism to the present day.
What is modern art? Who started it? Why do we either love it or loathe it? And why is it such big money? Join BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz on a dazzling tour that will change the way you look at modern art forever. From Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, from Warhol's soup cans to Hirst's pickled shark, hear the stories behind the masterpieces, meet the artists as they really were, and discover the real point of modern art.
You will learn: not all conceptual art is bollocks; Picasso is king (but Cézanne is better); Pollock is no drip; Dali painted with his moustache; a urinal changed the course of art; why your 5-year-old really couldn't do it. Refreshing, irreverent and always straightforward, What Are You Looking At? cuts through the pretentious art speak and asks all the basic questions that you were too afraid to ask. Your next trip to the art gallery is going to be a little less intimidating and a lot more interesting.
With his offbeat humor, down-to-earth storytelling, and flair for odd details that spark insights, Will Gompertz is the perfect tour guide for modern art. His book doesn't tell us if a work of art is good; it gives us the knowledge to decide for ourselves.

"Gompertz has an uncanny knack for making difficult art (and ideas) easy…A lively, witty account of the major moments and movements of the past 150 years."–Associated Press
"An insightful love letter to modern art and an irreverent rejection of the notion that its pleasures are reserved for a chosen few… Each [chapter] hums with engaging history and entertaining anecdotes, cheeky asides and accessible, illuminating criticism." –NPR
"Gompertz is determined to dispel the layman's fear of the modern art world and those who inhabit it. What Are You Looking At?, which comes out this week, does a very good job of this—replacing isolating esotericism with witty and chatty commentary." –Interview
"A deeply enlightening and buoyant history of modern art and beyond." –Booklist (starred review)
"[A] highly lucid, lively, and buoyantly composed history…while his tone is breezy and conversational, [Gompertz] astutely and often wittily describes the core of every movement and its key artists." –Publishers Weekly
