From Expectations to Equanimity - A Life of Practice
New Years is a good time of the year for reflection and resolutions. Committing to personal practice is one way to create the change you may be yearning for.
Thanksgiving and Gratitude
I am grateful for my life, my teacher, my family and friends...and Tofurky! Happy Thanksgiving!
Growing through study and community
One of the important teachings of Yoga is to find and thrive in community. Sangha is the coming together of like-minded seekers to do just that!
Do you know your purpose?
Many of us never stop to ask why we are here. But a yearning for purpose may be at the root of our unhappiness. Yoga can help.
Time to Quit!
Don't worry, I will never quit Yoga! It is my life and my dharma after all. But is time to quit another shenanigan of popular yoga. First it was commercial yoga centres. Now the teachers' Facebook page. Oh my!
Yoga Conferences, More than Crass Commercialism
I'm not a fan of the yoga extravaganza and in that I include such things as "Yoga on the Hill" and yoga conferences. However, there is something to be said for these events.
Healing Yourself AND Others
Yoga offers up a range of techniques that not only allow us to heal our own bodies, minds and spirits, but to use that shakti to heal others.
2013 - Make it Your Year
Using techniques of the yoga and tantra traditions we can powerfully affect our futures. Connect with your Self Essence and begin to shine.
Healing for the Holidays
The holiday season is supposed to be filled with joy, giving and celebrations. Yet is often brings up unresolved issues and emotions. Healing is necessary for us to grow beyond the pain of our past.
Tis the Season of Gift Giving
One of the most amazing gifts that we have is the gift of breath. Understanding how to consciously use this gift can profoundly change our lives.

Property ID: 3660
Address: 21111 Barefoot Loop Lead SD 57754 USA
Phone: 800/424-0225
Perched a mile high in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Barefoot Condominiums offers breathtaking scenery and modern conveniences in one standout location.It's truly a 4-seasons vacationland. The massive 150 inches of snowfall the resort averages each year are just a backdrop for winter fun of skiing, snowmobiling and just enjoying the pristine blanket that covers the area as far as the eye can see. Spring arrives late, but is well worth the wait with the birth of new wildlife, and spring wildflowers. In summer, there's hiking, picnicking and countless ways to enjoy the great outdoors. And fall doesn't disappoint, with birch and aspen trees that beam with amazing colors.
The accommodations here make it as much fun to stay inside as it is to go out and play. In the Summit View Condominiums, the wood burning or gas fireplace and private outdoor balcony add to the feeling of home. You'll think you're on top of the world at Summit View, the highest inhabitable building between the Rockies and the Alps. The Vista Peak condos enjoy all the amenities of Summit View, plus the entire building is enclosed, so you can visit the pool or exercise room without going outside.

So I was watching a Jason Stathom movie yesterday with my husband and I was thinking I could maybe see Jason as one of the 8. Actually, I was kinda thinking I could see him as Lor. What do you ladies think. He's not what I would consider a major hottie, but he's not unattractive either. What he is, is a bruiser type, and that's what I think of when I think of Lor.
P.S. - On another note... it hasn't escaped me that we now have three movie candidates for Fever with the first name "Jason" and there all beefcakes. What is it about Jason's? LOL

While each home is unique the average price per square foot of homes in an area can give a sense of the market. Using a weighted 3 month average, Zillow reports the average price per square foot of living space for Manassas Park was $168.
When considering this average it's important to know that a home with additional features may have a higher price per square foot than the average and likewise a home with fewer features may have a lower price per square foot.

Falcons Sweep Saints in PBC Baseball Doubleheader Action
Story by: Walker McCrary, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, Ga. - The University of North Georgia baseball team took on the University of Montevallo Falcons in a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader on Saturday at Bob Stein Stadium. Montevallo (29-15, 15-11 PBC) defeated the Saints (16-26, 6-17) in both games by identical scores of 6-1.
Game 1: Montevallo 6, North Georgia 1
Montevallo opened the scoring in the third inning when Thomas Bradey hit a solo shot to left field to take the lead 1-0. Three batters later, Will Fulmer hit an RBI single that scored two runs to stretch the lead to 3-0.
North Georgia would score in the fourth on a Devin Gearhart single to right field that scored Travis Naraine and cut the lead to 3-1.
The Falcons responded in the fifth as Jackson Slaid hit a sacrifice fly to left field, allowing Fulmer to score and make the score 4-1.
Montevallo put another run on the board after loading the bases in the sixth as Bradey came across the plate and extended the lead to 5-1.
Vinny Rodriguez continued the Falcon scoring in the seventh with a solo homerun to right field.
North Georgia had an opportunity to score in the seventh as they loaded the bases with only one out, but the Falcons' defense clamped down and got the Saints to strike and ground out without a run scoring.
Gearhart led the Saints at the plate, going 3-3 in the contest with an RBI.
Clint Spratlin (2-4) was tabbed with the loss for the Saints after pitching 5.1 innings, allowing five runs and striking out five.
Game 2: Montevallo 6, North Georgia 1
North Georgia struck first in game two of the doubleheader as Eason Spivey led off with a double and came around to score on a passed ball to take the early lead 1-0.
The Falcons answered in the third as both Fulmer and Austin Dubberly came across the plate after both hit singles to lead off the inning to take the lead 2-1.
Montevallo kept scoring in the fourth as they had three Falcons cross the plate in the inning, capped off by a two RBI single by Rodriguez to stretch the Falcon lead to 5-1.
The Falcons added another run in the fifth as Slaid led off the inning with a double and scored on a double by Andrew Hill that made the score 6-1.
Brett Wright led the way at the plate for the Saints, going 2-4 in the game.
Taylor Keinat (2-7) was credited with the loss, going 7.1 innings, allowing six runs and striking out five.
The Saints and Falcons will complete the series tomorrow, April 21, at Bob Stein Stadium in Dahlonega. First pitch is slated for high noon.

It is a repeat of last year's final, when Landon Donovan's solitary goal gave Galaxy the victory.
But the build-up to this season's showpiece event has been overshadowed by the former Manchester United man's decision to quit the California club.
"There's an excitement around the team and around the club. It's been an enjoyable week," said Beckham.
The frontrunners for Beckham's signature seem to be French side Monaco after their chief executive officer Tor-Kristian Karlsen told BBC Sport: "We are happy with our current squad, but if there's a chance to get a player of Beckham's stature, we'd be foolish not to explore it."

If selected, the Englishman will line-up in the final alongside former Everton loanee Donovan and Robbie Keane, who spent the majority of his career in the Premier League, in his last game for the club.
Having spent six years in America, it will be the third grand final appearance for Beckham, having also played in the 2009 penalty shoot-out defeat to Real Salt Lake.
Beckham, 37, paid tribute to coach Bruce Arena who he feels has played a major role in Galaxy's recent achievements.
"The first year, year and a half was very unsettling and it wasn't a great place to be and then Bruce came in, settled everything down and that's the reason we've had the success we had in the last four years," he said.
"He's a great man manager, he's strong and harsh when he needs to be but he also puts his arm around you and has a joke with you when you need that."
Since Beckham joined from Real Madrid in 2006, the MLS has increased from 12 to 19 teams and seen a 231% increase in merchandise sales.
MLS executive vice-president of communications Dan Courtemanche believes Beckham's impact on the league's growth is incalculable.
"David broke through like no other athlete we have seen in north American soccer. With the global appeal he has he was able to put the spotlight on Galaxy and MLS in every continent on the planet," said Courtemanche.
"We have tried to measure the media coverage and put a dollar value on it, but that is just impossible due to the global appeal David has. His type of impact is invaluable and immeasurable."

Va man accidentally kills self with gun at party
Eds: APNewsNow.
GOOCHLAND, Va. (AP) - Police say a Goochland County man accidentally killed himself while playing a Russian roulette-type game at a party.
Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew identified the victim as 20-year-old Christopher Ryan Benson.
Agnew tells media outlets that the shooting occurred late Thursday.
Agnew says 20-year-old David Cash Raymond brought the .22-caliber revolver out and said it wasn't loaded. Raymond put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger twice. Nothing happened and Raymond put the gun down. Benson picked it up, put it to his head and pulled the trigger, fatally shooting himself.
Police charged Raymond with reckless handling of a firearm.
Benson was an Army reservist.

Daily, 10am - 2pm
Neighborhoods: Sabina Mattfeldt
A hidden gem! – I grew up in Mt. Washington and I know the goings on, and the goings on is The Curb Shoppe. The patrons and staff are very friendly; even the owner! All the food is outstanding and the drinks are tasty. The Curb Shoppe is a step above The Mt. Washington Tavern; BELIEVE Me!!!!! Living in Mt. Washigton for over 30 years I can honestly say The Curb Shoppe is the real deal. It is a can't miss!
Best tavern food and drink prices in Mt Washington – I had one of the best burgers that i have ever eaten here.This little place has great tavern food, if you havent tried it your missing out. Weds 4pm-10pm you get 1 dom beer & a regular burger for 6.50 + tax.If you like BIG AS- DRAFTS get a domestic draft on thurs nights 6pm-12am a 25 oz coors lt,bud or a yuengling 3.25 + tax.If you like wings 20cent a piece on mondays 6pm-10pm and you can wash it down with 2.00 pints .sorry no carryout on the food specials. Every seat you can see a tv,stop in play a game of pool and check out the internet jukbox.Parking out front,dont worry they own a huge lot 25 yards south with plenty of spots.see you there.
Best Bar in Baltimore!! – This bar is just good times!! 25 cent hot dogs and 20 cent wings during orioles games and awesome weekly specials. The best jukebox around and just nice people. Always a fun time!!
Great Prices, Good Jukebox, Cozy Atmosphere – It's a great place to go after work to have a dirt cheap happy hour drink. The food is tasty (and inexpensive), it's rarely crowded and the people are friendly. It is THE place to relax and have a beer in Mt. Washington. I also have had several nice nights just hanging out with friends, playing pool and listening to the jukebox.
Local relaxed bar – I'm not a big bar person, that why the curb shoppe is cool. Its never overwhelming, no loud music... Just relaxed people, pool and really cheap drinks and food, that always hits the spot. Grab a shrimp salad sandwich when they have it, its the best!
ice cold beer, great burgers and fries! – if you are looking for a great neighborhood bar this place is the bomb!
awesome bar food ,great prices,parking and conveniently located in historic mt. washington.
hope to see you there! oh yeah, don't forget to save me a seat!

Comments On Oct 28, 2012:I ordered these in Oct. 12' since they were on sale because the 13' stuff is out. I got the Armada gloves in black, and size Large. They are VERY comfortable, and the fit is PERFECT. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because the stitching on the left glove's wrist wrap isn't quite as "tight" as the other, and the metal vent screen underneath the "O" logo stuck out to the size about 0.10", which I easily trimmed off with an exacto knife. Don't hesitate to buy these gloves!

Pam Ayres was born in 1947 in Berkshire and left Faringdon Secondary Modern School at the age of 15. After a stint as a clerical assistant, she joined the Womens' Royal Air Force where she discovered a love of singing and acting. Performances at a local folk club led to her reciting her poem 'The Battery Hen' on BBC Radio Oxford; this was selected for Radio 4's Pick of the Week and repeated on the 1974 Pick of the Year programme. In 1975 she won the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks with her poem 'Pam Ayres and the Embarrassing Experience with the Parrot'. There followed appearances in the UK and throughout the world and a triumphant career as the only living professional writer and performer of comic verse.
Voted in the top ten of the 1996 BBC poll to find the UK's favourite comic poems, Pam Ayres' work is funny, and approachable. It sounds simple too, as though dashed off, but this is deceptive. Her hair-trigger timing (she calls it the pleasant shuffling of words to get a comic effect), her eye for the detail of everyday life and for absurdity, make up an art that hides art. Her voice is an essential part of this: the Oxfordshire accent, the self-mocking pedantic precision, and above all the warmth and gentle kindness she conveys in her performances. It is a specially English brand of humour deriving from the tradition of music hall, via John Betjeman and the comic observation of the artist Beryl Cook.
On this recording are some of her most popular pieces. 'I wish I'd looked after me teeth' is on the walls of countless dentists' waiting rooms, while 'Yes I'll Marry You, My Dear' is frequently requested at weddings, both civil and ecclesiastical. If it weren't for the cheerful rhymes, clicking neatly into place, both pieces would be too true to be funny; as it is these readings make you laugh before they make you think. 'They Should have Asked My Husband' demonstrates the writer's unique performance style: her delight in the sounds words make, her escalating comedy irritation and her joyous putting in of the boot. 'Woodland Burial' on the other hand conveys an acceptance of death in the tender warmth of her speaking voice as much as in the beauty of her writing; it is often read at funerals.

Parasect is certainly an interesting and unique Pokemon. His odd typing grants him extremely useful resistances to Water-, Ground-, Grass-, Fighting-, and Electric-type attacks, and his defenses are decent enough to utilize these resistances effectively. His excellent ability, Dry Skin, allows him to switch into bulky Water-types with ease, and also slightly heals him at the end of every turn while in the rain, giving Parasect a unique niche on Rain Dance teams. However, none of the aforementioned factors are Parasect's main selling point. Parasect's most useful trait, by far, is his access to Spore, which gives him the ability to cripple any counter temporarily, almost always allowing Parasect to damage the opposing team in some way. All of these unique characteristics make Parasect stand out amongst both his Bug- and Grass-type brethren, giving him competitive value and usability.
Unfortunately, it isn't all good news for Parasect. Parasect's typing grants him horrible, crippling weaknesses to Fire-, Flying-, Poison-, Rock-, Ice-, and Bug-type attacks, most of which are common in the UU metagame. Parasect is also exceedingly slow, and is outsped by almost every Pokemon in the UU tier, except for Slowbro and Steelix (whom he speed-ties with). Due to these two traits, it's extremely easy to hit Parasect with a strong super effective attack once he switches in. In conclusion, Parasect, despite his many faults, can prove fairly useful to a team thanks to his unique assets.
With access to two useful status-inducing moves, a slew of handy resistances, reliable recovery, and respectable defensive stats, Parasect can act as a superb status spreader. Parasect can switch into many common Pokemon, such as Milotic, with ease, which gives him plenty of opportunities to switch in and spread status. Though Parasect's numerous weaknesses can cripple him in this regard, the opponent cannot switch in Pokemon who can target Parasect's weaknesses easily due to the threat of Spore and Stun Spore.
Spore is this set's main selling point, forcing the opponent to be constantly wary of switching Pokemon into Parasect haphazardly. It should be noted that Parasect may not wish to use Spore immediately; though it may seem tempting to do so, the constant threat of Spore will pose a psychological threat against the opponent, and you may wish to scout the opposing team for any Sleep Talkers before using up Parasect's precious Spore. Stun Spore allows Parasect to act as an effective paralysis spreader, and, since Stun Spore's paralysis is only negated by Pokemon with the Limber ability, Parasect is almost guaranteed to paralyze an opposing Pokemon once he gets in safely. Stun Spore is also the safer option to use immediately, since it can catch a threatening Pokemon like Arcanine on the switch. Synthesis gives Parasect a means of reliable recovery, and further adds to Parasect's nice bulk. Finally, Seed Bomb rounds off the set by providing a reliable STAB move that still hits fairly hard off of Parasect's respectable Attack stat, despite the lack of EV investment. However, X-Scissor can be used over Seed Bomb to hit Grass-, Psychic-, and Dark-types harder, though Seed Bomb's better type coverage means that it is generally the better option.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set attempts to use Parasect's good base 95 Attack in the form of a bulky attacker. Spore is the main option on this set, as it's Parasect's main weapon against his counters. Seed Bomb and X-Scissor have decent coverage together, and are both boosted by STAB. Pursuit is a great attack to use alongside Spore; since Spore tends to force switches, Pursuit can smack the Pokemon who switch out for decent damage. Parasect can also use it to trap unsuspecting Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon. Brick Break is a usable option over either of Parasect's STAB moves, since it hits the Steel-types who wall both of his STABs for respectable damage. However, Parasect probably still won't be able to break through the majority of Steel-types of UU, so it isn't recommended. Synthesis is a decent option over Pursuit to give Parasect a form of reliable recovery, and it complements either item choice well. Life Orb gives Parasect's attacks more sting, but it comes at the cost of reduced longevity. However, with Dry Skin (and possibly Synthesis) to make up for it, Life Orb is a decent option, though Leftovers is always the safer choice.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Parasect's movepool, while not particularly diverse, does hold a few interesting options. Swords Dance, Agility, and Growth are all boosting moves that Parasect has access to, and he can use each of them with moderate success. Thanks to Parasect's respectable bulk and access to Spore, he doesn't have too many issues obtaining the boosts. However, in the case of Swords Dance and Growth, Parasect is simply far too slow and has too many common weaknesses to utilize these moves effectively, while with Agility, Parasect is too weak. If one uses Trick Room support alongside either Swords Dance or Growth though, Parasect has a much better chance at pulling off a successful sweep. In a similar vein, Screech is an interesting option to weaken the foe's Defense, and with Pursuit, Parasect can smack fleeing Pokemon for large amounts of damage. Unfortunately, like the aforementioned Swords Dance, Parasect is simply too slow to use this strategy effectively.
In terms of support options, Parasect has access to Aromatherapy, Knock Off, Light Screen, and Worry Seed. Aromatherapy can be used to clear status, and, thanks to Parasect's resistances and bulk, can be used with decent success. Sadly, Parasect often has trouble finding room for it. Knock Off is a great move that can remove key items from opposing Pokemon, but just like Aromatherapy, it's hard to fit it in on any of Parasect's sets. Light Screen can bolster Parasect's Special Defense further, and can be used alongside Counter to encourage foes to attack Parasect physically, allowing Parasect to respond with Counter. Worry Seed can remove important abilities from the opposing Pokemon, but changing the opponent's ability to Insomnia heavily clashes with Parasect's main weapon: Spore.
Checks and Counters
The main problem with countering Parasect is his ability to essentially remove one of his counters with Spore. Once Sleep Clause has been activated though, Parasect becomes much easier to deal with. RestTalkers such as Arcanine and Weezing can easily absorb Spore, and don't really fear being slept thanks to Sleep Talk. They also can easily threaten Parasect with their super effective STAB attacks. Alternatively, you can use a Pokemon with Vital Spirit or Insomnia to act as a decent switch-in to Parasect. Unfortunately, most of the Pokemon who have these two abilities are either frail enough to be overcome by Parasect's attacks or are weak to one of Parasect's STAB moves. Thus, out of the Pokemon who have these two abilities, Primeape and Noctowl are likely the best options to use against Parasect, as Noctowl is bulky enough to easily take Parasect's attacks while Primeape can threaten Parasect with Stone Edge, Ice Punch, or U-turn.
If you don't have either of these options, defensive Pokemon are decent switch-ins to Spore, since they should be bulky enough to survive being asleep for a couple of turns. Registeel is a prime example of this, since it's extremely bulky and resists almost all of Parasect's attacks. If Sleep Clause has been activated, Fire- and Flying-types easily wall Parasect. In particular, Swellow is perhaps the most dangerous out of this group, as he will often be burned or poisoned, granting him immunity to Stun Spore, and can easily shift the momentum in your team's favor with U-turn. Really, once Sleep Clause has been activated, any Pokemon who doesn't mind paralysis and resists Parasect's STABs will do just fine against him.

It is located a ways off the Strip. You will need to drive there or take a cab. We got lost driving, so be sure you know where to go.

"Something Has Brought Me Here"
December 12, 2013 | by Amina Cain
For years now, whenever I read a novel, narrative has been impressing itself more and more visually in my mind. Or maybe it's that my mind has gone more and more toward these fictional visions. Even though I'm a writer, it's not always language I'm drawn to. When I start writing a new story, I often begin with setting. Before plot, before dialogue, before anything else, I begin to see where a story will take place, and then I hear the narrative voice, which means that character is not far behind. Lately I've been thinking a lot about landscape painting and literature, and perhaps as an extension of this I have started to think through the idea of character and landscape as similar things, or at least as intimates, codependent.
In I Await the Devil's Coming, Mary MacLane writes, "We three go out on the sand and barrenness: my wooden heart, my good young woman's-body, my soul … this sand and barrenness forms the setting for the personality of me." This is a gentle Mary MacLane, not a caustic one, going sadly out into her Montana landscape (she would rather be in the city). Again and again. Taking the reader there too. Taking the reader to her personality. For where are we when we read Mary MacLane? We are in the three things that form her, and we are in the sand. I would like to visit MacLane's Montana in the same way I would like to visit the wasted, spectral landscape in Paul Delvaux's painting The Lamps (those gray, crumbling hills), partly so I might meet the female figures who haunt it—doppelgängers—except there are five of them trudging across that land.

About six pages in is this thread, with my name on it. So what does a bored person who's spending most of the day digging for work online do?
Yep, re-create a forum account so he can kid around.
Yep, let's be honest here, my maturity levels have already been shown to be not THAT high.
Needless to say, yes, it's really me. Yes, I'm actually pseudo back....still have the main focus of trying to find a job, and any distraction is good. I know I'm not gunning for membership any time soon. My X-Wing Pilot is no longer up to standard after all the discoveries that have been found in the last 9 years since I put it together, and I have no good shots of the Rebel Fleet Trooper either.
And trust me, if I was having those delusions, wouldn't I have made a big deal post in a main forum, instead of coming here to do something just a bit more in character?
I'll be poking around for a bit, but you will see me back around.
It's ok, Tony...I will be sure to look for you sooner rather than later(you know how this stuff bites you). Just look at who else is back:

Well ya know, man... the only way I could afford to come back by is you lowering the property values.
Kidding. Who loves ya, in a purely platonic fashion?
BTW, just to make sure, yep. No good RFT shots right now. All of them were either taken with a POS camera at a con, or they've got my daughter hanging all over me. *LOL*
And it's not really like a HS reunion. I would never attend one of those no matter what.

Bringing this topic back to the original intent, I just wanted the thank Gil for posting the reference for the chest boxes, and thanks to Lori for posting the Smoke Grey color, it looks great! I just painted Jason's and my chest boxes today! I can't wait to get the details put on...now to decide which style to choose.

Here's what I did for my friend Zhi-Don's chest box so he wouldn't have to bother with taking one side of the lower strapping out of the buckle (I plan to do it on my own, if I ever finish it
First, we used JB Weld to install the male parts of 4 snaps inside the sides and top of the chest box, and set the female parts onto the ends of the straps. (This is kind of beside the fact, it's just how we decided to attach the straps to the chest box.)
On the right side of the lower strap, there's just a short piece of strap that comes out of the chest box with the snap on it. I sewed a 2 inch long piece of olive drab Velcro to the end of this piece. The other side of the Velcro I sewed to a longer strap.
With this method, he is able to get in and out of his chest box without assistance and the buckle stays centered. Being on the side, it's easy for him to reach to pull apart the Velcro to open up the bottom strap.
Sure, it's a little bulkier than the single strap, but it's right up against the the side of the chest box and when his arm is down it's covered.
I've trooped with him several times since he's had his Pilot costume finished and I've never noticed the Velcroed area, even though I know it's there. I don't think anyone has notices it, either.
Both the OD webbing and the Velcro came from Strapworks.

Put the box on backwards and fix the buckle and then turn it the correct way with the box in the front?

This is the result:
This is the back of the chestbox like it was:
I got this chestbox of the former CO Darktrooper (Benelux base).
The strap in the neck, was not really comfortable. And than i had to find someone to help me with the ladderlock.
But from my personal experience, i decide to made few changes to made everything comfortable without breaking the dresscode. It's not that George call us: "dudes (and dudetess) i have a surprise: "a real flying X-Wing"".
I put over the plastic back plate an aluminium plate and cut the plate in the right shape. This is an thine aluminium plate, cut with a sharp sciccors. Easy to find in a good hardware store. After sanding the edges so they don't cut.
Cut (with an sharp (wood) chisel) out the holes for the neck strap. In the middle where the holes are for the waist strap drill a screw hole.
In the middle i use a elastic so when i move the chestbox move a little with me. The two backpack locks don't come out the chestbox. The ladderlock is put in place on my back .
I have tested it, in uniform ... and the story is true guys: girls/women/ females like a man in uniform. I went walking in the street to greet my neighbours.

|Wildlife photography: what do I need? | Wildlife lens image quality overview | Image quality ranking | Lenses delivered overview
|DxOMark Score
|Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
|Nikkor AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF ED
|Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6 D ED
|Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG MACRO Nikon
|Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG OS Nikon
With a DxOMark Score of 18.6 on a full frame Canon EOS-1Ds Mk III, the $1,600 Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is the best performing full-frame telephoto zoom in our database, closely followed by the more affordably priced $600 Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IFED VR with a score of 17.1 when tested on a D3X. In third position is the direct predecessor to G-series Nikon lens that's ranked second in our scores. Unfortunately, it is no longer available to buy new although it can be picked up secondhand at around $150 (note this is a Japanese made ED version – a non ED version was also made).
At maximum aperture and set to 300mm, the Acutance map (above) reveals the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L is sharper across the image field than either Nikon model. In fact, the older AF-D-type Nikon lens is sharper at 300mm than the AF-S (G-type) version that replaced it. That's all fine and well, but most wildlife photographers won't be using full-frame bodies with full frame lenses, they want the intrinsic advantage of a narrower field of view that APS-C cropped cameras give.
Although APS-C cameras use the sweet spot of full frame lenses, the acutance is influenced by the sensor and is slightly lower for each model. When measured with an 18-Mpix EOS 7D, the acutance of the Canon L-series zoom is still ahead of the two Nikkor lenses when paired with either the 12-Mpix D300s, or 16.2Mpix D7000.
When we compare the Acutance maps for the two Sigma lenses on the Nikon D300s to the Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM, tested on the Canon EOS 7D, the drop is quite apparent. However, the Sigma results can be improved slightly with the higher-resolution Canon EOS 7D, though not to the same level as the Canon optic. At this point, it's worth bearing in mind the price difference between these.
While we've no hesitation in recommending the L-series Canon as a long-term investment, the Sigma APO Macro can be picked up for around one 1/8th of the price at $200, while the DG OS version is dearer at around $360, because of the Optical Stabilization function. Both Sigma lenses appear to be a good value proposition, although the sharpness isn't that great at 300mm on either. One other lens that is intriging is the $200 Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.5.6 III USM. Like the Sigma APO Macro version, it lacks image stabilization but it has above average image quality for this type of lens.

Miss some...
Hey guys,
What is alway the thing with this tests, which is a lot of times lately.
It looks like you guys have already favorites and push the 'test' in a direction.
Why al these really old rather crappy Tamrons? I mis the best ones! The VC versions are a lot better then these old versions of 2000 and 2004! Even if the have stabalisation and sometimes it does not work well because of the tripod or fast shutters speed, keep in mind you can always switch them off...
Then i mis a really versatile lens, the Sigma 50-500 OS HSM if you guys talk about reach in the intro you really have to put this one in the test because it has an amzing reach.
Also consider testing some of the faster lenses with tele converter.
I understand thatbit is a lot more work but with this short list I think you don't give the whole thing an objective look for readers.

Re: Miss some...
Thanks for your comment.
HI Arend,
As you noticed it is a lot of work and we had to do some choices…
For this article we try to highlight some good value telephoto zoom.
In this article we reviewed a lot of high end telephoto prime (Canon and Sony) and we should publish some results of famous Nikon primes very soon.
Your remark about extender is very relevant but we won't have time to measure it for now.
I you want to have an idea about the influence of an extender on image quality, have a look on our last review about the Canon EF200-400mm f/2.8 1.4x.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

Bonjour. La nouvelle mouture du zoom 80-400 de Nikon, vient de sortir. À un prix exorbitant ! Plus de deux fois le modèle précédent ! Dans le même style que votre comparaison 70-200 f4, 70-200 f2,8 Nikon et Canon, je serai extrêmement intéressé par une comparaison des deux versions du 80-400 Nikon (ancienne et nouvelle), avec le 100-400 Canon.
Merci d'avance. Je brûle d'impatience !

keep your money!
- weight make 2,8 impossible to use in wildlife without tripod!
- at 5,6, a 200 dollar lens is the same quality optically than a 1500 canon or nikon "pro" lense!!!!!
photographer, I successfully use a 200$ lens without stabilization:
- for "birding" speed is upper 1/500s
- in low ligth cndition
using a tripod is better than stabilsation.
prefer to use this money for the camera!!!

en français!
Enfin un comparatif!
J'ai toujours affirmé:
- soit il faut acheter un 2,8 avec le problème de le porter (3kg!!!!)
- soit IL N Y A AUCUNE DIFFERENCE DE QUALITE OPTIQUE ENTRE LES MODELES CHERS OU NON
Donc en photographie animalière ALLER AU MOINS CHER les marques nikon ou canon font beaucoup d'argent avec des optiques quasi identiques, canon prétend meme que son zoom est "pro"....
J'utilise une optique à 200$ je suis photographe et les résultats sont très bons, juste un peu de retouche pour le 300mm!
Les optiques à plus de 1000$ n'apportent rien sauf léger mieux pour l'AF quand à la stabilisation elle est suvent inutiles:
- en "birding" on est à plus de 1/500e
- en affut, le trépied!!!
For my english readers : learn French it's a pleasure and the summit of the Civilisation too!

Nikon V1 with FT-1 mounted lenses
I would like to see the Nikkor 105VR tested on a Nikon V1. Are there any plans to test Nikkor FX/DX lenses on the V1 or V2 when mounted to the V1 via the FT-1 adapter?

Another is missing
There is Panasonic 100-300, but no Olympus 75-300? By now it make sense to test 75-300 II.
And of course everybody waits for the test of the boss of them all, "the rocket launcher", Sigma 200-500/2.8. :) Very few will ever own it, but at least knowing what we are missing. :)

Telephoto zoom lens for Nikon over 300mm
Your enquiry concerning zooms for wild life photos is highly welcome...but in your tests or future tests no 400mm, 600mm, 800mm Nikon...
Most amateur photographs are looking for wildlife zooms at a good second hand price: 1500 - 2500 euros
Ken Rockwell on his site suggest to use a 400mm AF I F2,8 and a TC 14 E teleconverter: this is the kind of equipment you should test for people who can't afford a brand new nikon lens...
There is a big potential market there, and also, a company like yours, could offer a test bench where we could get a test of a second-hand lens, at a fair price, so as to see if its worth buying it...
The potential sellers and buyers could then do the deal in total confidence, or publish in their selling advertisement the test you had done for them. (Cost of test should be around 100 to 150 euros)...

Re: Telephoto zoom lens for Nikon over 300mm
Thanks for your very relevant comment.
We made the choice to specifically focus in this comparison on telephoto-zooms with a maximum focal superior or equal to 300mm.
Fix focals of 300, 400, 600 or 800mm type, whatever their brands, are indeed well-indicated for wildlife photography. As we already have some long focals in our database, this kind of lenses will be tackled in further comparisons.
The lenses you suggested are very relevant and we are going to add them to our list. In this regard, we welcome any suggestions of yours concerning other lenses we might include in ours reviews.

ALLEN, Texas — Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen recently welcomed Justin Shaffer as its new director of food and nutrition services.
A McKinney native, Shaffer is a restaurant lover with 15 years of experience in the food service industry. He holds a bachelor of science in hospitality management from the University of North Texas, and is Food Safety Certified.
"I've worked in the food service industry in many different roles, and each has provided me a benefit," said Shaffer. "But in health care, it's all the more rewarding because patients don't typically want to be in a hospital, so to provide them with a meal that can provide them comfort, and that they look forward to is extremely rewarding."
Prior to Texas Health Allen, Justin spent four and a half years at The Heart Hospital of Baylor Plano in food and nutrition services, as well as a year at McKinney ISD in the Food Services department.
In his new role, Shaffer is responsible for providing meals to patients, the hospital cafeteria and the physicians' lounge. New menu items focus on seasonal vegetables, heart-healthy recipes and he steers clear of overly-processed products.
"We strive to give our patients the best of everything — and that includes a fresh, nutritious menu that will help get them back on their feet and back home," said Jeff Reecer, president of Texas Health Allen. "Justin has done a great job of working with the kitchen team and dietitians to make sure that the food we offer our patients, staff and visitors is top notch."
Justin and his wife, Abby, who is a part-time nurse at Texas Health Allen, have been married since 2011. They have a 2-year-old son, Adam. Justin has participated on the McKinney ISD School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), which promotes health and well-being for students, parents and faculty.
