Review of the Minolta AF 17-35/3.5 G
or: ultra-wide shootout
Over the time I have accumulated a number of lenses for the Minolta AF system. Soon after I re-discovered photography in 1998, I got the 24-85/3.5-4.5, which has a good reputation, and I still use it. However, lack of sharpness, distortions and chromatic aberrations at 24 mm sometimes are too obvious, and sometimes you need something wider than 24 mm. So later I got the 24 mm and 20 mm prime lenses. Both are excellent. But they are less convenient to use. When you're in the field, you have to carry two lenses, two sets of filters (55 mm and 72 mm), and you have to constantly switch between the two. In addition, when you also need something slightly longer than 24 mm, you have to carry even more lenses.
The natural solution for these problems is a wide-angle zoom. Of course, when it's supposed to replace the 20 mm and 24 mm primes, it must be capable to deliver excellent image quality. I've seen tests of the 20-35/3.5-4.5 and sample images from the new 17-35/2.8-4 (which basically is a slightly modified and re-badged Tamron lens). Both do not seem to deliver the results that I'd expect. That's hardly a surprise, especially when you look at their price tags. I wish Minolta made a 20-50/2.8 G, with 72 mm filter size, for about $1200. Such a lens would fit my needs perfectly. I rarely need something wider than 20 mm, and the conservative 2.5× zoom range would allow to maintain high image quality. Unfortunatly, Minolta does not make such a lens. In fact, none of the "big five" make one.
So the only remaining option in Minolta's lineup was the 17-35/3.5 G. It has a high reputation, but also a high price. I was waiting half a year for one to appear on eBay, and in January 2005 I finally got one in excellent condition.
Lens features
AF 17-35/3.5 G mounted on Dynax 7 |
- 17 mm to 35 mm zoom range
- constant maximum aperture of f/3.5
- closest focus distance 0.3 m (1 ft)
- 7 aperture blades, circular
- focus hold button
- non-rotating filter threads, 77 mm size
- bayonet-mounted, flower-shaped hood
- metal lens barrel
- comes with front cap, rear cap, hood and hard case
The 17-35 is a G lens, meaning it's one of Minolta's top-of-the-line lenses, with emphasis on image quality and build quality. The lens barrel is metal, and the few plastic parts are made of fiber-reinforced polycarbonates. The hood is very wide and flower-shaped. When the hood is mounted, a filter or lens cap still are easily accessible. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens to save space when in a bag.
Both the zoom ring and the focus ring are rubberized and ribbed. The focus ring is wider than that of the smaller primes, and both rings can easily be turned while wearing gloves. The focus ring is a bit stiff when you focus close to 0.3 m (the near end of the focus range) while it runs smoothly in the rest of the focus range. This may be the case only with my lens, and it doesn't seem to affect AF at all.
The focus hold button is actually a multi-purpose button. With most older bodies its function is to lock AF at the current position, while with some newer bodies (like the 7) it can be assigned a different function. I typically have the camera set up to activate DOF preview with the lens button, because the button on the body is a bit difficult to access, especially with gloves.
The filter threads never turn, neither when focusing nor when zooming. This makes using a polarizer or split-ND filter trouble-free. The filter size of 77 mm is large, but it's still a common size. You'll have no problem getting filters and Cokin adapters for this size. You should, however, try to get the "slim" versions of filters. Otherwise the filter rim may show up in the corner of the image when shooting with the shorter focal lengths. I've modified a Cokin P filter holder by removing the two front filter slots with a hacksaw. I've never used more than one filter at a time, anyway. This way the holder can be used down to 20 - 17 mm focal length (depending on its orientation) without causing vignetting.
As usual with Minolta's high-end lenses, it comes with a hard leather case. I don't use it. When I'm in the field with this lens, it's in a bag or backpack. I can't imagine anyone walking around with several of these lens cases dangling from their shoulders. Minolta's intentions are good, but these cases simply are not very useful.
Image quality
As I've already mentioned, the lens is supposed to replace the 20 mm and 24 mm primes. Therefore I tested the 17-35 against these two lenses, as well as against the 24-85 (at 24 mm and 35 mm). The test results should decide whether to keep or sell the primes.
I've tested the lenses for the following characteristics:
- Sharpness, wide open and stopped down
- Distortions
- Chromatic aberrations, wide open and stopped down
- Vignetting, wide open and stopped down
I have not tested flare and bokeh.
All test shots were done with the Dynax 7 and New Sensia 100 slide film, using a tripod and MLU for optimal sharpness. The slides were scanned with a Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400.

The 24mm prime clearly performed best. It has lower chromatic aberrations and higher sharpness at all apertures than the 17-35. It also has almost no distortions and little vignetting.
The 17-35 performed better than the 20 mm prime. This was a bit of a surprise, because I've expected the reverse. The zoom has better center sharpness, both wide open and stopped down. Corner sharpness is also better, as well as chromatic aberrations. Distortions are lower, as well as vignetting wide open. Vignetting was about equal when stopped down.
The 24-85 clearly came in last. Center sharpness of the 17-35 is slightly better. Corner sharpness of the 17-35 is significantly better, especially wide open. Chromatic aberrations are also worse for the 24-85. The 24-85 showed the strongest distortions at 24 mm, but at 35 mm these were reduced significantly.
Overall the 17-35 performed very well. It was close behind the 24 mm prime. At the same time it was better than the 24-85 (as expected) and, surprisingly, also better than the 20 mm prime. The only problem I found with the 17-35 was vignetting at 17 mm and wide open. This is, however, hardly a surprise. When stopped down, vignetting can be reduced considerably. This is what you will probably do, anyway, to increase depth of field.

This comparaison should have been done for full format such as Sony alpha 900 since these lenses are made for full format and not for APS-C senser , hier we would see the behavior of the lenses in the extreme corners and in the borders. warm regards ! |

This test was done with 35 mm film, i. e. full format. |

I wanted to know wether the Minolta AF 17-35 mm F/3.5 G could be an interresting alternative for the very expensive CZ 16-35 mm f/2.8 for the alpha 900 and his 24.6 megapixel ,since the weekness of any lens is easily revealed with a high resolution senser ,Especially for large print such as A2 format , so it is possible that the lens gives a good quality in A3 format but the issues will dramatically appear in an A2 print , What do you think of this ? Warm regards ! |
Michael Hohner antwortet: |
I do not own the 16-35 myself, so I can not make my own comparison. But others have done this, e. g. Kurt Munger and Stephan Kölliker. The Zeiss lens seems to be better in almost every respect. Also, the 17-35/3.5 is quite hard to find on the used market, and when you do find it, it often is not much cheaper than the Zeiss. |
#3: Kommentar von Mazouni am 2. September 2011, 12:22:09 Uhr: |
Hello Michael This conclusion is somewhere strenge and must be due to the different behavior of each copy of the lenses . Stephane koelliker says , that the 20 mm f/2.8 has better corner sharpness than the Minolta AF 17-35 mm f/3.5 G ,Minolta AF 17-35 mm F/2.8-4 D and even than the CZ 16-35 mm f/2.8. Warm regards. |
Michael Hohner antwortet: |
Well, the test pictures above don't lie. At least my 20 mm was worse than the 17-35/3.5 G. |
#4: Kommentar von Woo am 3. Januar 2012, 21:29:40 Uhr: |
I recently purchased a copy of the Minolta 17-35G in like-new condition. I brought it to a Sony store and compared this lens with an in-store CZ 16-35/2.8 using my Minolta 7D (sorry, not full frame). I shot some pictures of items displayed on a store wall, with the camera hand-held. My test result is somewhat different from other comparisons that I can find on the web. This is what I found: At f/3.5, Minolta (17mm) has obviously better center sharpness while CZ (16mm) has slightly better corner sharpness At 35mm f/3.5, Minolta has slightly better center sharpness while CZ has slightly better corner sharpness Compare CZ at 16mm f/2.8 with Minolta at 17mm f/3.5, the Minolta now has a slightly better corner sharpness. The center sharpness of the CZ is now worse than it is at 16mm f/3.5. |

I have been thinking of how I could have it both ways by installing a large "Y" connector on the exhaust end with one leg going to the filter and the other vented straight outside. By using a balst gate on both legs it would be possible to have it directed outside during good weather days and directing it just inside on days when I do not want the inside shop heating/cooling lost. My exhaust end of the cyclone is 8" diameter and would just be a matter of finding a 8" Y connector and 8" blast gates. -- Every step of each project is considered my masterpiece because I want the finished product to reflect the quality of my work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com |

I have a swollen labia minora, im a virgin and i am worried:( recently became itchy around the area will coconut oil help? And should i be worried?
Hi, It could be due to some mild allergy or ringworm infection. If its an allergy, it should subside in a few days by taking antihistamines. Please have it seen by a gynecologist if symptoms increase over a week for proper treatment. Please clean your genital area and wipe it completely dry after bath. Wear cotton inner clothes and observe menstrual hygiene. Hope this helps.

Swollen labia could be a sign of infection. Do wash the vaginal area with dilute solution of apple cedar vinegar. This will reduce the infection and thus the swelling.

Facebook for iOS updated with enhanced photo options
Facebook today updated its iOS app to version 6.1. Overall, the update is rather minor but it does add some welcome enhancements to the way photos are handled within the app.
Under the previous version of the Facebook app, users were only able to comment, like or tag a photo. With the new update, however, users can now make a photo their profile picture with a single tap. Even more exciting is that users can now share photos they stumble across on their own timeline or on the timeline of friends. Other additions to the update include improved places editing when checking in on the iPhone and faster loading of events.
Here's a quick run through.
Here's how photos showed up in the previous version of Facebook.
Not much you can do here, aside from like, comment or tag.
But with Facebook 6.1 up and running, here's how photos now appear.
When you select the three dots above, the following screen appears.
Finally! More photo options. From here, users can share photos from their iOS device as easily as they can on the desktop.

Tiger Paw Exotic Rescue & Rehabilation Center
Tiger Paw Exotic Rescue Center has recently teamed up with Outreach for Animals, & Tim Harrison to help out exotic animals in need. Go to www.outreachforanimals.org Click on Message from Tim Harrison!
We are supported entirely by donations and admission fees. Any donation, no matter the size, is truly appreciated and goes directly into caring for the animals.
We are OPEN by appointment only! You can email us : firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 567-203-1959 Admission is a donation of: Adults $5 Children 12 & Under $3 All proceeds go to the Big Cats! Food, Vet Bills, Straw Bales, Vitamins, what ever they may need! Thank You for supporting our Mission to provide them with a Safe Haven!
We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the world, and we want to let other people know how they can make a difference in an animals life. God put these creatures in our care, they cannot speak for themselves, it is up to us to preserve the species for future generations.To teach our children about the importance of wildlife in this world and its preservation.
Every year numerous big cats become displaced, neglected and homeless. These innocent victims need safe, and healthy place to live out their lives. Inexperienced, unknowing or illegal owners, irresponsible breeders and uneducated, ill-informed lawmakers making unenforceable laws are just some of the reasons that Tiger Paw Rescue Center and other sanctuaries throughout the country are needed.
Tasha was with us for 2 years, she evaded certain death after she escaped through a hole in the roof of a garage she lived in for 9 years, in Danville, Ohio. Now with pending rules and regulations that will most certainly affect the big cats here at the rescue, we have made the decision to find forever home for some of the cats. After much research and phone calls, conservations with Sanctuaries, & Rescues through out the U.S. See her story on the Menu: Placing Cats to ASA Sanctuaries
Mission Statement To provide a permanent home for captive exotic cats in need, a life safe and free from abuse. To educate the public, and lawmakers, and future generations about the general needs and habits of these animals. Strongly discouraging pet ownership, and teaching people about effective legislation and what needs to be done to assure these animals have a future.
Knowledge is power, and helping people understand the issues surrounding big cats is a vital part of our work and one of the best things that we can do to assure that these animals have a future.

Sanitized Travel
At the risk of talking ad nauseum (yuck, yuck) about getting sick while traveling, National Geographic's Traveler magazine has a good article this month with the pros and cons of eating street foods versus avoiding local cuisines.
On one hand, they quoted an infectious disease expert and a CDC travel health specialist as saying that, while some folks may be naturally predisposed to intestinal bugs, everyone should watch out when eating foods that have sat around in the open air for very long, as well as fresh (peeled) fruit or veggies, regardless of the locale.
On the other side of the debate is chef and author Anthony Bourdain who says he hasn't yet gotten sick eating street food, even though he's known for traveling around the world, eating weird stuff. Further, his TV crew has a running betting pool as to who will be the first victim of local food. His choice comment? It's the "Purell junkies" who inevitably get sick; better to follow the locals' lead on what to eat and drink. Avoiding eating local foods can cause you to miss a deep connection with where you are when you travel: "Food is the purest expression of local identity."
What do you do while traveling, dear readers, just eat it?

Anthony Bourdain is quite right, you need to eat local food to get a "taste" of living that country. I guess I figure if it's been cooked, I'm OK (yeah, I know the scientists will disabuse that notion, it's my rule of thumb), and I've eaten many strange street foods all over the world. I do, however, draw the line on fresh produce in third world countries, Montezuma's revenge isn't just a Mexican disease!
carpetblogger Jan 19th 2007 2:48AM
The best way to get sick abroad is sticking to "foreign" food that locals don't know how to prepare or store. If local people eat it and don't get sick, why can't you? Just don't be dumb about it.
Iain Jan 19th 2007 4:33AM
I had mentally prepared myself to be violently, perhaps terminally ill in India. I had met long lines of people - moving in the opposite direction - who told me of my stomach's inevitable collapse in the subcontinent while travelling through the Middle East. But (and I touch wood every time I say it) I've been here two months and not had a problem. Nothing, nada. And I've eaten as much local food as I can find, often finding the best (and best priced) food in the darkest, dirtiest places.
Perhaps my South African penchant for chilly helps ( it's supposed to have anti-bacterial properties?). But maybe, as the article suggests, sticking to what locals eat instead of requiring someone who's never eaten one to produce a hamburger is indeed the safest option.
Max Jan 19th 2007 12:31PM
Naturally, one should get their shots before travelling, but beyond taking those precautions it's worth every effort to try the local food. Also, one is just as likely to get sick eating in "nice" restaurants, as I did twice in Mexico and once in Thailand. Eating the street food has never made me sick, because I can watch the chef prepare the meal right in front of me. Fruits and vegetables never caused problems either. Considering how most developed nations source their produce, e.g. from developing nations, I figured, what difference does it make?

I can't bring myself to eat the hot dogs from street vendors. I don't know, it just didn't seem sanitary... I clearly have issues lol.

I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia, Africa for 3 years. For 3 whole months (!), I had Giardia. I lost so much weight, the belt on my wristwatch needed to be adjusted. Where did I get sick? At a swanky hotel in Zanzibar.
When I ate with my hands and drank the unboiled water -- just like the locals -- I had no problems.

The Argument to End Women's Awards
One comment "The Argument to End Women's Awards"
August 27, 2011I'm of two minds about this. On one hand, anything that encourages people to excellence is a good thing. On the other hand if you are aiming for a gender neutral world instituting gender dependent things can only hurt.

Lady Gaga has a Bad Romance with Kirtan.
Lady Gaga riffs Kirtan?
With thanks for the tip to Jill Miller, who I met out in Ojai recently, and her Top 10 Trends in Yoga in the 00s:
5. Kirtan is exploding more than ever, with Jai Uttal performing at Chant4Change during Obama's inauguration and BhaktiFest in Joshua Tree. Bhakti Yoga Shala opened as a yoga studio entirely devoted to Kirtan in Santa Monica, and Lady Gaga even has a Kirtan riff in her hit song "Bad Romance" … Can you hear it?

Wireless mouse ( and keyboard) odd response
Likes # 0
Posted July 23, 2012 at 4:21PM
I have a modern PC with wireless mouse and keyboard. I find that the very first time I use the mouse or keyboard, there is no response. The first input leaves a blank, and I have to repeat the entering of the word. Most times I double tap the mouse just to 'make it aware', and it's OK after that, but it is very annoying when I forget this, type in a password, for instance, and told that my password is wrong! The keyboard and mouse have both charged batteries, so it's not that. These came with the HP p6539uk PC, Intel i5, 500HDD, with Windows 7 Home Premium. jonem81

Some wireless mice and keyboards have a sleep function to save the batteries, you should have software supplied with the mouse and keyboard where might be able to change this.

Casinos across Missouri are reporting decreased revenue this summer, continuing a trend seen at most of the state's 13 riverboat gambling sites last year.
Overall revenues for July were more than $9.5 million less than in July 2012, a 6.3 decline. That means nearly $2 million less for state education spending derived from a gambling tax compared with this time last year.
Regional news coverage from the KBIA newsroom, including:
Jim Mathewson, the chairman of the Missouri Gaming Commission will step down Friday. Matthewson chose not to stay for a second three-year term in order to spend more time with his family.
During Mathewson's tenure with the Gaming Commission, Missouri's 13th casino license was awarded to developers in Cape Girardeau and disassociated gamblers were provided a pathway to reinstatement. He says the main challenge now is raising enough revenue to help K-through-12 schools.

On a recent order of 12 mixed bottles I was asked if I wanted to fill the three empty slots in the case.
I agreed the price and also agreed the type of wine.
The following week a box arrived with 3 bottles in and a few days later my 12 bottles arrived in a 12 box.
I am surprised at this smart practise from the Sunday Times especially as I have been a customer for quite a few years.
You have lost my confidence.

The DNC protests kicked off in Denver this weekend on a light-hearted note. First up: the Yippies, wielding inflatable baseball bats [2] with stickers saying "Make Fun, Not War." The event took place at a convenience store near the Pepsi Center. Someone called police when they saw members of the group clubbing each other with their "peace bats." The police officer who responded was offered a "peace bat" as a souvenir. He declined, saying departmental policy prohibited him from accepting gifts. Oddly, the officer said he had never heard of "yippies." I wonder how the Denver Police Department is training officers in the art of responding to convention disturbances without reviewing events that occurred in Chicago in 1968. The Yippies, members of the Youth International Party founded by counter-culture leaders Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, were front and center.
On a related note, famed '68 protester Tom Hayden provides his recollections of the Chicago protests [3] for the Rocky Mountain News and predicts Denver won't be anything like it. He warns Denver officials not to fall for what he calls the hype of the FBI.
I think that Denver officials would be well-advised not to believe everything that the FBI warns them about," Hayden says. "That's how things can get out of hand, due to fabricated, exaggerated projections about violence or protest."

The Choice is Yours . . .
Consulting a physician regularly is an important part of a healthier lifestyle. Together, you and your physician can determine the best plan to keep you fit and able to enjoy the times of your life.
Surprisingly, many people do not have a regular doctor whom they can turn to in case of illness or injury. In a serious emergency, they often have no choice of whom will provide care or what treatment will be administered.
We at The Chester County Hospital encourage you to take the time to choose a physician before emergency situations arise. A regular primary care physician or specialist knows your medical history and can provide special insights into your treatment.

Radial head dislocation
Radial head dislocation occurs when the radial head is displaced from its normal articulation with the ulna and the humerus. The dislocation may be acquired or congenital (see the separate article on congenital radial head dislocation). Additionally, radial head dislocation should be distinguished from a 'pulled elbow' with represents radial head subluxation and reduces spontaneously or with rapid supination.
Radial head dislocation is usually seen in infancy or childhood 1 where it is usually an isolated injury.
The radius and ulna are bound to each other at both ends at the aptly-named proximal and distal radioulnar joints. Akin to the mandible and pelvis, it is difficult to disrupt one side of a ring without also disrupting the other. Thus, it is important to ensure that radial head dislocation is truly isolated and not associated with an ulna fracture (the Monteggia fracture-dislocation).
Plastic deformation of bones is common in paediatric patients. Therefore, rather than radial head dislocation being associated with an transverse ulna fracture, the ulna develops a bowing fracture instead. Monteggia fracture-dislocation is uncommon in children, but it is by no means rare 2.
Dislocation of the radial head is also seen in individuals with neuromuscular disorders and contractures, e.g. cerebral palsy and brachial plexus injuries 1.
Clinical presentation
Children who present with dislocation of the radial head usually demonstrate an unwillingness to use the arm. The history is not usually particularly helpful in distinguishing this injury from any other although a fall on an outstretched arm is not uncommon.
Radiographic features
Plain films
In almost all cases of isolated traumatic radial head dislocation, the radial head is dislocated anteriorly. This is most easily seen in lateral projection, where there is malalignment of the radiocapitellar line - a line drawn down the radial neck should always intersect the capitellum. Where this is lost, radial head dislocation has occured. If intact, the ulna is likely to be bowed 1.
In young children it is important to assess the elbow ossification centres to ensure that no other fractures have occurred, e.g. lateral condylar or epicondylar fracture. The mnemonic CRITOE can be used to remember the ossification centres.
In patients with contracture related dislocation (e.g. cerebral palsy), the forearm is pronated by the shortening of pronator teres, and the radial head dislocates posterolaterally 1.
In brachial plexus palsy related dislocations the direction of dislocation depends on the muscles affected, and can be both anterior or posterolaterally 1.
Treatment and prognosis
The dislocation needs to be reduced, and sometimes closed reduction is possible. Failing this open reduction will be necessary 1.
When dislocations of the radial head occur in infancy, the diagnosis may be missed, resulting in chronic radial head dislocation. If this is detected late, it may be potentially confused with congenital radial head dislocation 1.
In individuals with pronator teres contractures, prophylactic surgical release can be performed to prevent dislocation 1.

is there a guide for what XML classes/principles work best depending on what you need to do?

Hi -
I have used a little XML in Java using DOM and Nodes/Document/Nodelist/Element classes/interfaces so I know how to read in an XML file. OK for those things it seems simple enough.
I could find out that DOM is best for if you will use information from the XML document many times, as SAX parses item by item and is therefore not so efficient if you need to do lots of reading/manipulation. However SAX will work if you don't want to/can't have the whole document in memory.
I wrote something basic for work but a colleague of mine used XPaths for example I don't. There is a reason for that, but I find it hard to work out when to use what XML classes
Then I opened the O'Reilly xml book and got a case of total information overload.
XPATH, XSLT, XQL...woa! There was not really clear overview of when to use what (OK, it's a reference not a HeadFirst book I know...) in the end I got a lot further with some basic tutorials and simply reading the JAVA API (thank you
I saw some XML books on Amazon.com but I don't really care about learning how to use something but more what to use when from a practical point of view. And since there's no headfirst XML... ;)
What book/site do you recommend on learning XML and wanting to understand what you're doing and why?
Woohoo passed SCJP 1.6, that's the theory exam passed now for the practice ;)

Well, you are basically right about DOM and SAX, but XML processin technology has proressed a bit there are more options available for you to consider
1. StAX is similar to SAX as a streaming XML parser, but is generally considered easier to use since you pull nodes from XML, instead of receiving events, StAX's limitation is pretty similar to SAX otherwise.
basically does what DOM does, but is a lot more efficient in memory usage (1/3~1/5 of what DOM uses), and up to 12x faster in perfomrance, it additionally supports indexing, full
support, incremental update, and cut/paste/splitting/assembling,

'Dancing with the Stars': Ralph Macchio's stiff patriotic samba
From the first few steps, it was clear that Macchio's jeans -- super-dark cowboy-style wash -- were stiffer than Bruno Tonioli's enthusiastic critique. Macchio came off as uncomfortable and a little bit lost -- and who can blame him? It's like trying to sing "La Isla Bonita" while "Freebird is blasting into your earphones."
Len Goodman and the afore-mentioned Tonioli both made a point of calling Macchio on his stiff hips.
"It needs fire down below, man," said Tonioli. "You've got to get those hips going."
Carrie Ann Inaba was the dissenting opinion, saying "I think that was a great and entertaining performance. Probably your most vivacious performance ever."
Vivacious, yes. Graceful, no. And definitely not on par with last week's "Romeo and Juliet" waltz.
What do you think -- will the samba set Macchio back on the leader board?
I was so confused tonight. Yes I will agree this was not Ralph Macchio's best performance.. BUT he was as good as the once who got a 9. As a matter of fact I watched their hands and they all seemed to have copied Ralphs hand gestures. The gestures that were "no good" No one Judge said anything about that ... Hines was stiff tonight yet he got one of the best scores� there is something wrong here... I don�t get it... and speaking to a lot of friends of mine� they don�t get it. Why have the Judges been trying so hard to bring others up�promote them� and Ralph and Karina down. I bet ABC is upset about the Playboy issue with Katrina coming out in May. After all Disney is the BOSS.
I hate that they give them impossible music to dance to. Why not have "America" week when it's foxtrot and jive week instead of having to do a latin dance? It was just dumb and I don't figure you can fault ANY of the dancers for it.
I give a 3 to the DWTS producer who thought this music mash up would be fun....it wasn't.
Agreed ! ! ! !
Ralph is definitely being picked on by the judges. Shame on them for their mis-judgements !
Hopefully, he will still come out of this last round okay. . .
Go RALPHIE !!!
Ralph has the right moves and I hope we see him last out for awhile longer. Just finished watching "The Outsiders". What a time Ralph! Really brings me back. I don't know what you've been up to lately, but you really have always had that light in you.Keep shining and you could win this thing! I have the faith and hope you do to!
Carrie Ann always seems to pimp up the NFL players. She did the same to Emmitt Smith and Warren Sapp.
Ralph is the best male celebrity dancer and one of the best overall. I thought he danced better than Hines. Hines just stood there while Kym gyrated around him, and he rec'd 9's. SHAME ON THE JUDGES!
Totally agree about Ralph. These immature and unprofessional judges shouldn't be in that post of judges. The are to judge the DANCE, not their personal opinions on who they like. Otherwise, any of us could be judging. Hines just moves back and forth like a rocker and smiles and Kym does ALL the work! WATCH VERY CAREFULLY next time Hines does his dance -- he DOES NOT dance -- So over-rated! RALPH, he is the MOST likeable, professional, CARING, who respects EVERYONE on the show INCLUDING the "judges" (despite how they judge his dancing)!!! For some reason the juges seem to give him a hard time, but that is ABC for you. ABC just want more and more publicity and they CREATE havoc during rehearsals and backstage. ABC is going downhill with their unprofessionalism and tasteless acts. They were at one point a CLASSY network. Wow ABC, you should be ashamed of yourselves...but it's all about MONEY and RATINGS for you! Bottome line -- Ralph and Chelsea should ALWAYS be on top, along with Romeo. My votes will ALWAYS be for Ralph! RALPH...LOVE TO SEE YOU ON THE BIG SCREEN!!!

We stayed here for one night. We were flying out the next day and decided to stay downtown since it is only a 15 minute drive to the airport. We got a fabulous rate on Hotwire for $55.00. The location was easy to find and very convenient to drive up to the door. Sometimes the downtown hotels have no where for you to get out and check in without having to valet right away. They had a huge driveway right off the street. We did the self parking for $13.00. The parking garage is connected to the hotel. We did not have to walk far to get from our car to the lobby.
Check in was very speedy. I requested a high floor and they gave us a room on the 22nd floor with amazing views of downtown Minneapolis. Our kids enjoyed the view and loved being on the 22nd floor. The rooms were spacious and clean.
The pool area was nice and it had floor to ceiling windows with views. The workout room was next to the pool and they had a lot of cardio equipment and free weights. There is also a sauna located in the workout room.
We did not eat at the hotel, but the restaurant/bar in the lobby looked very nice. There are so many cute restaurants and bars to choose from in the area. We decided to walk to Nicollet and have dinner there. It was only a one block walk to get there.
Overall, this hotel had a great rate and very clean rooms. The location is fantastic and the views from the rooms are great. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. I would stay here again.
