1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
First, hello to everyone. This is an excellent and friendly forum. I hope I can become a worthy member.
I'm having a tough time deciding on the 5D Mark III body only or a kit with the 24-105 f/4L IS lens.
Here is my situation. I have a brand new 7D. I bought the 7D when it came out in 2009, had some trouble with it, and luckily I bought the extended warranty which was honored without question. Not only did they give me a brand new camera, but they gave it to me with another brand new 28-135 kit lens as well (and I didn't argue ). I say brand new, but in fact the camera has 121 actuations on it just from testing a bit, and it's really good. Everything in the box is still sealed. I used the battery from my old 7D. And I don't want this to be misconstrued as a "feeler" for selling my 7D. So please, no PM's about that. When I make a decision, I'll set a price and probably post here.
I also have EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS and 60mm f/2.8 macro lens that I can sell along with the 7D kit in order to finance the 5D Mark III. Both are in absolutely excellent condition and have been used very little. I didn't use my first 7D very much because I was never happy with it. I believe it was one that had the focus issue that was so beaten to death on the forums when it first came out. So it sat for a long time, and I finally did some real testing which lead me to conclude it needed to be replaced, and it was a good decision because the new one is much better. I am very happy with it and was thinking of keeping the 7D and EF-S lens compliment, but I honestly believe it will collect dust if I get the 5D mk III.
Which brings me to my problem. I am not certain I would be happy with the 24-105 f/4L kit lens. I'm sure it's a good lens, but the 5D mk III is supposed to be so good in low light, I believe I should opt for the EF 24-70 f/2.8L II lens. Now I get hung up on the fact that this lens has no IS. Are lots of people disappointed this lens was released without IS? It's also so expensive, I would have to buy the 5D body only and wait till I can save some money.
Selling the 7D with the EF-S lenses and buying the 5D mk III body only would leave me with only two lenses until I save more money, the 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS, and I also have the 70-200 f/4L IS lens.
I like to shoot low light indoors, and landscape in the evenings, or in mist, etc. I particularly like to take rides in the country and photograph old dilapidated buildings, structures, etc. Many people have told me I have a good eye for composition, and I did a couple real paying jobs with my first DSLR, the 40D, that went very well. Would like to get into some wildlife, but don't think keeping the 7D for extended reach would be necessary in my case. Of course, I could keep the 7D and save money until I can afford the 5D, but I want it so bad right now...
Maybe I'm just pouring out my woes and need someone to listen, but all comments will be appreciated. I really, really, really want the 5D mk III for the better IQ, AF, HD, and all those focus points!
And a final comment. I didn't know much about FF vs crop when I bought my first 40D DSLR, or when I upgraded to the 7D for that matter. I was using a G9 for a while before DSLR. After much educational reading, I have finally come to the conclusion that I am a Full Frame guy for the shooting I like to do.
Thanks to everyone who reads through my first post rant.
Mark A.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
Ahhhh - the big step. Early this year I went from crop (T1i) to FF (5D ii). First let me say to all that says there is no difference -- there is and owning a 5D ii or iii is truly a wonderful experience. I am a grandma and even I notice the difference. With that said - I got the kit and rarely use the 24-105mm. It does a fantastic job and I don't want to be without the IS. But indoors, I prefer a prime - they are lighter and faster. I have thought of selling my primes and 24-105 and going with the 24-70 f/2.8, but I think I would miss the longer reach of the 105 when needed and the IS and the lightness of the primes. Purchased with the 5d iii, the cost of the 24-105 is quite a good deal. Maybe buy the kit, a cheap prime and keep the 70-200 f/4. You can always get the 24-70 f/2.8 at some later date if you truly miss the 2.8 fl.
Good luck and can't wait to see what you get.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
The 24-70 Mark II is a much better lens optically than the 24-105....that's the real reason you would want the 24-70. You'll likely find that the one stop advantage from F2.8 to F4 on a FF camera isn't too significant. IS is largely unnecessary for a medium length zoom like the 24-70, and its an extremely tack sharp lens.
If you really want to benefit from the low-light performance of the 5D, get a really fast prime.
That said, I don't think its worth it to be stuck with a body and no lens b/c you don't have the funds for the 24-70 MK II.
I would pick up the kit for now, and sell the 24-105 until you DO have the funds (net of the sale) for the Mark II.
or maybe you can pick up a used version of the Mark I?
or maybe you can pick up a $100 50mm 1.8 and shoot with that until you have the funds?

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
Mark, welcome to POTN... This is the place to debate what to buy for sure, and you'll get plenty of opinions!
You said you didn't use your 7D much, and now you are considering spending over $5K to upgrade (5D3 + 25-70 II). Im not sure you aren't going to end up disappointed. The 5D3 is an amazing camera, but the 7D is now slouch and in the hands of a talented shooter with the right lenses, I believe you'd be hard pressed to see the difference between processed images in normal situations. Just realize that even though everyone praises the camera and full frame in general... its still just a camera.
Now to your question about the lens. I love the 24-105 and over recent years it was the lens I almost always grabbed as a walk around lens on my 1D3. I had a 24-70 I the whole time too. I upgraded to the 24-70 II because I shoot a lot of indoor sports and need f/2.8. I loved the handling and build of the 24-105, and the II is very similar. I think you'd be happy with either, but unless you specifically need f/2.8, the 24-105 is a much better deal. Also if you have any intentions to do video, the 24-105 is the most popular lens for video.

The 28-135 will work well on your 5d3 also. With its hi iso ability you may not need the stop faster that the 24-105 gives. Then you could add an 85 f1.8. You have a nice set of cameras and lenses then

Hello Mark
Big welcome to POTN from me too. You certainly won't get any discouragement from me in going the 5D3 route. It's a FANTASTIC camera. I'm not sure what your budget is but if you are not intending to use the 7D much, you may as well sell it along with your EF-S lenses before the 7D begins to lose it's value when a replacement is announced. Depending on what you get and in respect of what you say you need ( low light ) and shoot ( buildings, landscapes ), I would consider getting a used 24-70 which though may have been superseded by albeit a very expensive newer model, nevertheless remains an excellent lens. It will though cost you more than the kit but speaking purely from my own experience in shooting low light, f4 would be quite pointless, IS or no IS. Again if you are shooting buildings and not people, then f4 wouldn't be an issue. I suppose I have never been attracted by the 24-105......
Alternatively you could get the 5D3, a pre-loved 16-35. I'm assuming you are hanging on to your 70-200 f/4L IS but if do sell this too, then there is a little more in terms of budget for you to play with. Incidentally IS is not a big deal in respect of the short to medium zooms.
Bottom line, given what you shoot I personally would go for the 24-70 and 16-35. These along with your 70-200 will be a good trio of lenses to shoot with the 5D3.
Whatever you end up with, keep enjoying your photography.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
Thanking everyone for the comments.
michgirl - Absolutely about the primes. I really think my 60mm macro has better IQ than any of the zooms.
mystik610 - Tack sharp is something I am hung up on, and why the old 7D sat for a long time. The 7D pics were never tack sharp unless it was a close-up shot. My 40D pics always looked tack sharp at 100%. The old 7D never did. I really struggled with the 7D on this, got hung up in the 7D forum "soft focus" issue debates, and didn't know if it was me or the camera. Frankly, it was when I stumbled upon Darwin Wiggett's review of the 7D that I found he described the exact problem I was having. I know his review caused quite a stir, but it truly hit the problem spot on. I haven't tested enough with the new 7D, but I am certain it's much better just from my first hand held pics. I am still a novice and learning that everything is not always going to be tack sharp, even with good glass. Maybe more pixels does not equate to tack sharp at 100%. Maybe I'm a pixel peeper. Maybe the 7D is generally a bit softer unless you post process, because I judge from what comes out of the camera.
convergent - You are absolutely correct. I've seen pics from talented shooters with a 10D or 30D that are outstanding. Bryan Peterson said in Understanding Exposure that you should get the most out of your camera BEFORE post processing. I strive to get great pics from my camera without a lot of post processing. Maybe this is the wrong approach. My thinking was to sell the 7D now, because it is literally brand new, in order to get the most I can for it. But you are right; if I haven't honed my skills with the 7D, it might be better to wait. The 5D will always be there and the prices will drop...

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
There are indeed some excellent proces on the 5D3 Mark and it is likely that the price of the the camera will come down further before settling down to a certain level until the next model appears which is not likely for another couple of years. The current best US price that I can see is USD2599 which is a great deal on this body. Even if it does come down sometime in the new year you'd have bought the camera at a good price and have enjoyed using it.
Like you, I too believe the quality of the 5D3 will result in it being a far longer and more rewarding keeper of the two bodies. If you don't need two bodies then I would consider parting company with the 7D. Since yours is pretty much BNIB, you should hopefully get a good price for it.
Lenses are a personal choice. While I've gone down the prime route I'm essentially a zoom user but pick the ones which will help you shoot your style of pictures best. I certainly think something wider than 24mm would suit you better.... at least that's how I would shoot buildings and landscapes. IMHO 24mm really isn't very wide.
Best wishes

I would get just the camera and put the rest of the money into a better lens. Not saying that the 24-105 is a bad lens but why not go for the 24-70 or even a prime lens.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
Just something to keep in mind, people do say the 5DIII makes their 24-105 "come to life" when compared to using it on a 5DII. It is a very verstile lens and while it may not be a world beater it is certainly worth the asking price. It is also usually easy to sell if you want to upgrade later. I rarely use mine but can't bring myself to sell it because it is just such a handy lens on a full frame body.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
I, too, upgraded from a 7D (which I love, mind you; I just wasn't crazy about its low-light performance, and I want to get into event photography), but went with a body only deal as, right now, there are a lot of places selling them for anywhere between $2500 and $2900. I caught a deal for $2700 from an authorized Canon dealer, so I jumped at it, figuring that the cheapest I'd seen the combo body/lens was a $1000 more than that! I've also noticed a lot of "new' 24-105s on craiglist and the like for $800 or so, so I'm guessing a lot of people got them in the ridiculously cheap 5D MK II kits that were out there before Canon instituted its MAP pricing scheme, and are selling them to offset their cost. I've heard nothing but good things about that lens, and there are deals to be had for certain, but, despite the MK IIIs excellent low-light performance (and it truly is exceptional!), I already have a couple of f/4 L lenses (17-40 and 70-200) and plan on putting my savings (as well as the money I get from the sale of my 7D and my Sigma 8-16mm!) toward a 16-35mm f/2.8L II and a 100mm f/2.8L macro (which I've seen some lovely portrait work done with on these very forums).

1. A good tripod and head, for your dilapidated buildings and mists. A good carbon fibre one should be manageable strapped onto a rear pannier carrier of a touring bicycle.
2. The new 28mm f/2.8 IS or 35mm f/2 IS lenses, together with (say) an 85mm lens.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
I just upgraded from a 60D to 5D3 a mere 3 weeks ago. The drop dead perfect focusing and low light capabilities are well worth the price of the camera.
As for the 24-105 or 24-70 II, it's your call. I had both a year ago on my 60D and found the 24-70 mark i was just too heavy to carry for more than an hour or so. It's lack of IS also 'got me' quite badly at my step-daughters wedding. Fortunately, they had pro photographers. I sold the 24-70 a week later. I kept the 24-105 for 3 reasons...lighter weight, IS, and better zoom range. While some may consider it a bit less sharp than the latest 24-70, on the 5D3 the results are every bit as good as my other 'L's, not counting the 135 f2L (my absolute favorite lens, wide open, of course!).
So, should you opt for the 24-105 in the kit? I would, and unload the 28-135. The little bit of zoom range lost is more than compensated by the L sharpness and instantaneous focusing. And if you don't like it, sell it for more than the kit price 'bump' (prices will likely go up in January) and get the 24-70.

Re: 1st Post - Can't Decide on 5D MK III Body Only or Kit
You can't beat the price of the 24-105 as a kit lens, and it is a very useful lens to have. I would get the kit. You can always sell the lens later if you find you don't like it for some reason. I find the 24-105 a great place to start building a full frame kit. Later add a fast prime or a telephoto or whatever you find you need to compliment the kit lens. If you don't have a flash, I would recommend a Canon speed light.

Swarm of bees captured in Hamilton
A swarm of bees recently caused a a stir on Hamilton's Main Street, until a beekeeper arrived to box them up and take them home.
Corvallis roofer Jake Poellot was working at 10 a.m. Tuesday when he and a co-worker spotted the bees approaching them. The men notified the nearby Daly Leach Chapel the bees had landed in a tree behind their sign.
The Ravalli Republic reports (http://bit.ly/13LZQfD ) beekeeper Gale Dodd and his son, Ben, soon arrived. Dodd cut a bee-covered branch from the tree and put it in a box. The remaining bees followed.
Dodd said he'll use the estimated 50,000 to 100,000 bees to start a new colony.
The Montana Department of Agriculture maintains a statewide list of beekeepers interested in being contacted to recover swarms.

Fort hood, Texas (AP) A Colorado Springs man is being identified as one of two soldiers killed Wednesday in Iraq.
The Defense Department says 19-year-old Private First Class Dane Balcon of Colorado Springs died of injuries suffered in the detonation of an explosive device in Balad.
He was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, based at Fort Hood, Texas.
Balcon was a 2006 graduate of Sand Creek High School.
He had returned to the school in May to talk with students and teachers about how he was doing as a soldier serving in Iraq.
Assistant Principal David Morgan called Balcon "outstanding."
The Pentagon says 24-year-old Corporal William W. Warford, III, of Temple, Texas was also killed.

When her first husband, a Texas Ranger,was killed on the job, Honey Farrell swore she'd never risk her heart again. She no longer has time for men, anyway--not with a ranch to run, a dwindling bank account and two teenaged boys to raise. So when cowboy Jesse Whitelaw turns up on her doorstep looking for work, he seems like the answer to her prayers.
But Honey doesn't know that Jesse's actually a Ranger himself, going undercover to break up a cattle-rustling ring--and as she and Jesse get closer, the secrets he's keeping could destroy them both.

Crushing Headaches
Headaches have more causes than there are pain remedies on the druggist's shelf. Some can be caused by, say, simple exertion; others, by rare but serious underlying conditions like aneurysms or brain tumors. And don't be surprised if this article gives you a headache. As Jason Rosenberg points out, even the mere suggestion of head pain can bring it on.
Rosenberg, an assistant professor of neurology, is founder and director of the Headache Center at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The center draws on the expertise of more than a dozen physicians in specialties like vascular medicine, pediatrics, pain management, neurosurgery, otolaryngology and psychiatry.
"We're trying to provide an umbrella, beginning with the first patient contact through diagnosis, referral and follow-up," Rosenberg says. "The center is a place where patients can get most of their care in a comprehensive way but also a gateway to all of the other specialists or therapists they might require."
Headaches, says Rosenberg, are frequently misdiagnosed. "Most of the severe, recurring ones are migraines. In fact, the overwhelming majority of patients seen by headache providers have migraines or variations of migraines. In those with genetically super-sensitive 'migraine brains,' headaches can be triggered by even the most commonplace activities, like oversleeping or eating Chinese food."
The inspiration for the Headache Center arose out of a simple equation of supply and demand. As a resident in the Department of Neurology from 2000 to 2003, Rosenberg began seeing high volumes of headache patients. "Then, when I joined the faculty, I delved into the medical literature on headaches and discovered that these were patients we could actually make better. With many of our neurological illnesses, that isn't always the case. At the same time, I also realized there was a huge, unmet need in the community."
Though the University of Maryland and Georgetown had small headache clinics and several Hopkins physicians had headache specialty practices, the nearest large academic medical center devoted to head pain was in Philadelphia at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Hopkins' Headache Center now fills the void in the Maryland region.
The center had what Rosenberg calls a "stealth launch" about a year ago but really got rolling last fall. Working out of an outpatient clinic at Bayview, Rosenberg and nurse practitioner Cynthia Faherty now are seeing about 200 patients a month.

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla.- Business leaders hope two small converted campers will make a big impact on Fort Myers beach.
The Greater Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce launched a fundraising campaign for the purchase of two 16' Airstream "Bambi" travel trailers and the costs associated with making them mobile visitor information centers.
"We came up with the idea of brining visitor information right on the beach, right where the visitors are walking. Right now our visitor's information is about two miles off the beach," Chamber President Bud Nocera said.
The conversion entails removing the trailer's interior, adding a vendor wagon opening with a walk-up counter, and mounting a flatscreen TV to display messages for visitors.
According to Nocera, the budget for each unit is $30,000 including purchase and costs of converting it. The chamber purchased the first one for $15,000, but the conversion and bus wrap will cost $13,500, of which the chamber has raised $8500. An additional $5,000 is needed to complete the first unit to be situated on Old San Carlos near Times Square.
Nocera hopes to have the money raised by the end of the month to have the center operational in time for peak season.
A second mobile visitor center is anticipated for Santini Plaza on the south end of the island.

Breaking: Casey Anthony Escorted Out In Handcuffs
UPDATE: Casey Anthony made a brief appearance before a judge in Orange County, Florida this morning (Saturday). She was silent, and her attorney Jose Baez was at her side. The judge affirmed her $3000 bond on several charges of economic fraud. Casey, however, will NOT be bonding out today. Last night, Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his bail-bondsman nephew revoked the $500,000 bond they put up allowing Casey to leave jail for house-arrest at her parents' home. That bond was set when Casey was originally arrested on charges of child neglect and lying to authorities. She remains the only person of interest in the disappearance of her 3 year old daughter Caylee, approximately 45 days ago.
Casey Anthony, mom of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, has just been led handcuffed from her parents' house in Orlando, Florida (8:30 pm. ET). A limited-immunity deal was on the table for the missing tot's mom, but sources now say she has been arrested with new charges, possibly murder, possibly theft/white collar crimes relating to money Casey had stolen from friends and family. She has been taken to jail.
DNA tests run on the trunk of her car were released this week, and were matches with 3 year old Caylee's. University Of Tennessee's Body Farm also did air-sampling that confirmed a decomposing body had been in the trunk of the car. The forensic results have been damning, and unfortunately point to the likelihood that little Caylee is dead.
Yuri Melich, lead detective on the case, was one of the men who escorted the handcuffed Casey into a waiting police vehicle. Six or more marked cars arrived at the house while a protest was being held outside. Initially, reporters thought the police were there to disperse the protesters. It soon became evident that they were there for Casey. Her attorney, José Baez was not visibly present, indicating that the police were not there to cut a deal. Casey, as usual, was stonefaced. The crowd was cheering.
A sheriff's press conference is due shortly. RAW VIDEO OF CASEY'S RE-ARREST HERE. Update: WVTV is reporting that Orange County sheriff's deputies arrived at the Anthony family home Friday evening and arrested Casey Anthony on charges of forgery, theft and using fraudulent information. The charges stem from allegations Casey took money, possibly from family or friends. "She had used names and checks in an account that didn't belong to her," said Capt. Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Anthony was being held on a $3,000 bond Friday night. The sheriff's press conference said Casey is due to appear in court tomorrow morning at 11:30 am ET. The formal charges are Uttering a Forged Instrument, Fraudulent Use of Personal Information and Petty Theft.

Jamie Lynn Spears? Kick The Man-Ho Out!
Snarkista's told you what a poor excuse for a man Casey Aldridge, father of Jamie Lynn Spear's baby is. Not long ago, Casey got popped in the press for cheating on Jamie Lynn with a MUCH older woman while she was pregnant. Now, ANOTHER slut has come forward, and this one cashed a check from the National Enquirer.
20 year old "beauty queen" Andrea Revels went to school with Casey, and says she's been screwing around with him for 4 years. Andrea says that:
"Casey is a womanizer and a player who can't keep it in his pants. Casey hit on me every time he saw me…He threw himself on me and foolishly we ended up making love almost every time. During our romance, Casey was sleeping with as many as four other girls besides Jamie Lynn. All Casey can think about is the next person he's going to have sex with.â€
Is Casey Aldridge the only man in Kentwood, Louisiana? 'Cuz he's screwing the whole frickin' town. Snarkista said they need to check the crazy-juice levels in the water supply, but holy crap! Andrea helpfully confirmed what we all know to be true…that Casey's only in it for the Spears cash. What a royal asshat.
Jamie Lynn's been rumored to be having second thoughts about marrying the idiot, and if she goes through with it after THIS bombshell, she deserves what she gets. Get him the hell out of the house, Jamie Lynn, and use his public cheating to minimize any cash he tries to squeeze out of you. Lawyer-up with someone who DOESN'T advertise on billboards and cut your losses while you can.
Sarah Palin To Be McCain's VP: A Maverick Picked By A Maverick
"The women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all." -Republican VP Nominee Governor Sarah Palin
Tough, smart, gorgeous and making history! Alaska Governer Sarah Palin is going to be John McCain's Vice Presidential pick, edging out Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Tom Ridge and others. Fox News confirmed the pick from inside the McCain campaign and the official announcement is due shortly.
Sarah's a marathoner, former sportscaster, hockey player, mother of five…and a very sharp cookie. She was elected Alaska's youngest and first woman governor in 2006. Sarah and husband Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7. Track Palin joined the Army last September and will deploy to Iraq on Sept. 11. Governor Palin gave birth to Trig, who has Down syndrome, in April.
Palin, 44, has an 80% popularity rating in Alaska…they absolutely adore her. Sarah flies commercial, drives her own Jetta, and has saved the state of Alaska hundreds of thousands of dollars in travel costs. She's known for working with both sides of the aisle, taking on her OWN party on many issues, and being fiscally conservative.
More details as they come, and congratulations to Governor Palin!! Women everywhere have scored a BIG one today, and McCain has managed to pull off the biggest surprise of the campaign!
Here's Governor Sarah Palin's acceptance speech from this morning:
Victoria Beckham Needs A Bath
Horf! Victoria Beckham stepped out the other night with an undesirable accessory…filthy ears. Nasty! The Posh one IS usually pretty shiny and in dire need of powdering, but this is just nauseating.
Miz Becks also effed up her self-tanner and ended up looking like a creamsicle. Not the best look for the aspiring fashionista. Vicki? When the papz are snapping your EVERY move you'd best check it good before you step out. Q-tip PLEASE, and hurry!

Camila Vallejo Visits Cuba
Vice-president of the Universidad de Chile Federation of Students (Fech) Camila Vallejo has gone to Cuba with secretary-general of the Communist Youth of Chile, Karol Cariola, to participate in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Cuba's Union of Young Communists (UJC).
HAVANA, CUBA — Her visit has already included a three-hour meeting with Fidel Castro, a figure whom she regards as "one of the most important leaders in the world" and "a great visionary".
Vallejo stressed the importance of Castro's ideology to the student movement in Chile, saying that "all the reflections that Fidel has represent light and hope for Chile".
"We really value what Cuba has been and what has led this revolutionary process…For us, what he says, observes, and point out is like a road map".
Cuba "light-years" ahead of Chile
Vallejo was also complimentary of the way Cuban police dealt with protests in comparison to Chile.
"At no point did I see a water cannon or tear gas emitters, I saw only policemen patrolling the city, just in their uniforms, without helmets or arms of any kind," she stated, in reference to Chilean police who have frequently resorted to water cannons and tear gas to control crowds of protesting students.
"This kind of civic culture … is light years ahead of the repression suffered by the student movement last year or that which left fellow countrymen in the Aysén region seriously injured."
Vallejo conceded that "Cuba is not a perfect society, nor does Chile need to follow in its footsteps," expressing her belief that Chile should find its own way "to overcome inequality, lack of law, lack of democratic and participatory space, and keep working towards achieving political, economical, and intellectual sovereignty."
Vallejo's generally positive response to her visit in Cuba has sparked response from Yoani Sanchez, the award-winning Cuban blogger who is highly critical of Cuba's government.
She has often expressed her distaste for the government over Twitter, and the Cuban government has reportedly tried to intercept her contacts abroad across the social network.
Sánchez contacted Vallejo over Twitter, tweeting that "If I could talk to her, I would try to tell @Camila_Vallejo of that other Cuba which is hidden or silenced by official propaganda," but commenting that Vallejo's entourage was "impregnable".
Chile has recently condemned Cuba for human rights violations in the wake of the death of a dissident after a hunger strike while in prison.

Berries and cherries are powerful, health promoting foods—and I recommend including them in your daily diet.
What makes berries and cherries unique and beneficial? Berries and cherries are high in nutrients, phytochemicals, and fiber—all of which protect your health. Notably, berries have the highest nutrient-to-calorie ratio of all fruits.
Berries and cherries are full of beneficial phytochemicals, many of which act as antioxidants. Berries are some of the highest antioxidant-rich foods in existence and cherries—which are not berries, but rather a stone fruit (like peaches and plums)—are also rich in flavonoid antioxidant compounds.1,2
Antioxidants are critical for your health as they protect against oxidation and minimize damage to your cells from free radicals. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons, so they are unstable, and can potentially injure cells, negatively affect genetic material and cause destructive chain reactions. Accumulated free radical damage over time ages the body and catalyze a host of chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and slow or stop their reactions. Some familiar types of antioxidants we get from foods include vitamin C, vitamin E, the minerals selenium and manganese, and carotenoids like beta-carotene. Other types of antioxidants are called flavonoids. Flavonoids occur as pigments in fruits and flowers. Berries and cherries are abundant in flavonoids, which are concentrated in their skins and give rise to their deep hues of red, blue, and purple.3 Flavonoids are thought to have a number of additional beneficial effects in the body, beyond their antioxidant capacity. In fact, flavonoids, in contrast to other dietary antioxidants, are believed to contribute to health primarily due to their ability to modify cell signaling pathways, not their antioxidant capacity. Flavonoids affect pathways leading to changes in gene expression, detoxification, inhibition of cancer cell growth and proliferation, and inhibition of inflammation and other processes related to cancer and heart disease.4
Reduction in heart disease risk
Likely due to these cell signaling actions of flavonoids, several studies have shown that high flavonoid intake lowers the risk of heart disease by up to 45%.5-8 Berry and cherry flavonoids appear to act in several different ways to maintain heart health including by reducing inflammation, improving blood lipid, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, and by preventing plaque formation.3,9,10
Protection against cancers
The antioxidants in berries and cherries help to protect against cancers. In studies conducted in the 1980s, ellagic acid, another type of antioxidant abundant in berries, blocked the formation of tumors, providing the initial evidence that these fruits were anti-cancer foods.11,12 Flavonoids have powerful anti-cancer effects including reducing inflammation, preventing damage to genetic material, preventing cancer cells from multiplying, slowing the growth of cancer cells, preventing tumors from acquiring a blood supply, and stimulating the body's own antioxidant enzymes.13,14
Improvements in brain function
Berries are excellent foods for the brain. Substances present in blueberries can both reduce oxidative stress and improve communication between brain cells. Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries have all been shown to slow or reverse age-related cognitive decline in animal studies, and blueberries have now been tested for their effects on human memory.15 Older adults with mildly impaired memory were given wild blueberry juice as a supplement, and after as little as 12 weeks, measures of learning and memory had improved.16 The antioxidants in cherries have also been shown to protect brain cells against oxidative stress, implying that eating cherries may help to prevent neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.1,17
Pain reduction and exercise recovery
Cherries have a unique anti-inflammatory function that may offer natural pain reduction. Cherry extracts inhibit the action of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 enzymes. These enzymes are important components of the inflammatory process and the sensation of pain. These are the same enzymes that are inhibited by many common pain medications, such as ibuprofen and naproxen. In fact, the COX inhibitory activity of cherry flavonoids is comparable to that of equal concentrations of these medications.18,19 Cherries and cherry juice have eased symptoms of gout and arthritis in human subjects, and may also help athletes reduce post-workout muscle pain. Distance runners training for a race who drank tart cherry juice twice daily for 8 days (7 days prior to race plus race day) experienced less post-race pain than those who drank a placebo.20 Similarly in strength training workouts, those who drank tart cherry juice experienced less pain and strength loss over the four following days, compared to those in the placebo group.21
Improvements in sleep
Cherries may help you sleep. Tart cherries are one of the few food sources of the hormone and antioxidant melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle in the human brain.22 Tart cherry juice supplementation has been associated with improvements in sleep quality.23
Reductions in uric acid (gout)
Evidence has emerged that the anti-inflammatory effects of tart cherry juice could benefit those with gout. In this study, overweight and obese people consumed 8 ounces per day of tart cherry juice or took a placebo for 4 weeks. Those in the group who drank tart cherry juice experienced reductions in uric acid levels and inflammation markers.
In summary, berries and cherries are important components of a natural, high-nutrient diet. I recommend eating them daily to provide the body with protection against free radicals, inflammation, heart disease, and cancers. Include them as part of your variety of fruits, in addition to a bounty of vegetables, beans, nuts, and seeds, which together can provide an abundant and varied mix of antioxidants, further protecting your health.

Escaped Wayne County inmate back in court to face new criminal charges
Updated On: Sep 11 2013 06:59:56 PM EDT
The man who authorities believe is responsible for stabbing a sheriff's deputy with a shank fashioned from a plastic comb during an escape from a Detroit courthouse will be arraigned on charges related to that event on Wednesday.
Abraham Pearson, also known as Derreck White, was taken into custody Monday night following a daylong manhunt.
Sheriff Benny Napoleon said the 25-year-old Pearson attacked 63-year-old Deputy Harrison Tolliver, stole the deputy's clothes and then carjacked a minivan from a woman near the courthouse during his getaway.
Watch: Escaped prisoner: How did he pull it off?
He had been at the court to be sentenced for carjacking and armed robbery.
Pearson now faces 11 additional charges related to his violent escape. Napoleon says he is "looking at a considerable amount of time" behind bars if he's convicted on the new charges.
The new charges are:
- Assault with intent to murder
- Carjacking
- Assault/resisting/obstructing causing serious impairment to a police officer
- Assault of a prison employee
- Unlawful imprisonment
- Escape – from jail through violence
- Impersonating peace officer to commit crime
- Weapons – dangerous weapon – carrying with unlawful intent
- Possession of weapon in jail
- Obstruction of justice
- Armed robbery
Story: Carjacking victim: 'If it weren't for God I'd be dead'

Of course that puts pressure on first responders, which is why local emergency workers put their skills to the test this weekend.
The goal in this water rescue competition is saving a fellow firefighter after a swift water rescue. While the scenario is simple the recovery is much more difficult.
Lt. Darin Virag of the Charleston Fire Dept. explains, "We're working together to solve a problem, and without communication, we can't solve a problem."
In this drill, the patient has a pulse, but he is not responsive. After a careful examination, crews are able to carry the victim to solid ground.
"No matter what training you've had or what you've done in the past, you can always learn," said Louie Robinson, the water rescue organizer. "West Virginia has a lot of rescuers that we need to be proud of whether from the Fire, EMS and Police Departments as well have rescue teams."
This is all part of West Virginia's statewide EMS firefighters challenge, which took place in Hurricane.

The dispute over gambling payments to the state from the Ho-Chunk Nation may go to an arbitrator.
The Nation says under a Supreme Court decision, it's not required to pay $30 million a year to the state.
Now the governor says an arbitrator may have to sort it out.
The Ho-Chunk Casinos no longer offer Las Vegas style games like craps, poker, and roulette. Those were in the compacts struck down by the State Supreme Court.
That's why the Nation says it's not required to pay the state $30 million a year.
Gov. Doyle says it creates a cash flow problem.
"It hurts us in the short term between now and June. We're gonna have to do some things to make sure we cover the needs of senior care and some of the important health programs between now and June, but we can cover that."
The governor says the state will get paid, sooner or later. He says the impasse could be resolved through arbitration.

Dividend investors should not view every stock they purchase as a price that fluctuates on a computer screen however. On the contrary, they should view each stock purchased as a share in a business. Therefore, the most important thing to focus on is the underlying strength of the business you are investing in, and not day to day fluctuations in security prices.
Once an investor has a list of quality businesses, he needs to be able to decide at what prices to purchase them.
Fluctuations in security prices should be utilized by the enterprising dividend investor to his or her own advantage. In order to be rational and allocate their money in the most efficient manner, the intelligent dividend investor should have devised a system for buying. This system would allow the investor to acquire shares of quality companies at a reasonable price.
The intelligent dividend investor should know that even the best company in the world, is not worth purchasing at any price. Therefore, they should realize the value of being patient, and only buy securities when they are available at attractive valuations. The number of quality companies selling at cheap prices would vary depending on the conditions on the stock market. During times of Irrational Exuberance, it would be almost impossible to find securities, whose prices are not bid up in the frenzied environment. The opposite happens during stock market panics, when doom and gloom circles the common psyche of scared investors, who rush to unload their holdings at rock bottom prices. During these panics, the number of bargains could typically be overwhelming.
However, these environments on both ends of the spectrum of extreme circumstances are relatively rare in occurrence. An investor is much more likely to experience an environment which is somewhere in the middle, with quality securities being available from some sectors, but not in others. Again, having the entry system and the patience to wait for those opportunities is of utmost importance.
For example, I usually run a screen at least two times per month on the list of dividend champions. I use the following parameters:
1) A company raising dividends every year for at least a decade
2) A price to earnings ratio of less than 20.
3) Annual dividend growth exceeding twice the annual rate of inflation
4) A dividend yield that exceeds 2.50%, which is slightly higher than the yield on S&P 500
5) A dividend payout ratio below 60%, in order to ensure sustainability of distributions
Note: For REITs and MLPs, I look for FFO and DCF information, rather than earnings. As those as more advanced securities, they are not the point of this article.
The output of this screen only provides with a quantitative view of a list of businesses. It should not be an automatic signal to buy, especially if the investor knows nothing about the businesses that are produced by that screen. If the investor has analyzed the companies that are on the screen already, he or she can put their money to work by acquiring shares in these enterprises.
It is important to also take into account existing portfolio weights and holdings, after screening for attractively valued quality dividend growth stocks. When presented with the results of the screen, investors should first always initiate positions in quality companies that are rarely undervalued. Then, they should add to existing positions, as long as they are not taking a prohibitively high portfolio weight. Again, this paragraph assumes that the investor already has knowledge of the company they are buying, and finds it to be a quality company.
It is very common for the investor to see the same companies on the screen for months or even years to come. Therefore, it could be wise to be on the lookout for candidates that are new to the screen results. In addition, it might also be important to get into the habit of monitoring companies you are interested in for steep drops on negative news, which could also present an opportunity to buy a quality company at a bargain price. Unfortunately, these usually do not come out with a consistency that a twice monthly regular screen would produce. Therefore, keeping an open view could prove to be profitable.
In addition, I also like it when the companies I am investing in have a plan to grow earnings per share. Examples include IBM's (IBM) strategy to grow earnings per share to $20 by 2015.

When to buy dividend paying stocks?
Dividend investors should not view every stock they purchase as a price that fluctuates on a computer screen however. On the contrary, they should view each stock purchased as a share in a business. Therefore, the most important thing to focus on is the underlying strength of the business you are investing in, and not day to day fluctuations in security prices.

PS3 price cut by 100 USD, 80gb model unveiled
As predicted last week and hinted by Sony for some time, a revised PlayStation 3 console boasting a bigger hard-disk will go on sale in August. The new console will cost 599 USD in North America, and includes a hard-drive upped in size to 80gb, from the original 60gb.
The new and improved top-end PS3 will also come bundled with a copy of MotorStorm, and the big news is that the original 60gb PS3 will now retail for 100 USD less - 499 USD stateside. This price cut will be active from Monday, though the new 80gb model won't launch in North America until August.
Talking about the new model, Sony's David Karakker explained that it is part of Sony's strategy to offer more downloadable content, such as high-definition movies, videogames, trailers, demos and more. Karakker promised more of such content from Sony in the future.
"As we move into the next phase of PS3, it's important that we continue to evaluate our product line, offering consumers the technology and features that meet their growing needs for new forms of media and the way in which it is delivered," commented Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
"The introduction of the 80GB PS3, the new pricing for the current 60GB model, the availability of more than 100 new software titles this fiscal year and, finally, the expansion of services for PlayStation Network, will provide even more options for users and will help bring new consumers into the PS3 fold."
Sony are expected to announce more of their plans at E3 this week, with news on how they will expand the PS3s userbase, the PSP handheld and the expansion of their software library mooted. More on all this soon.

Local auto shows overseas like the one in Bologna don't really make a blip on our radar screens. Manufacturers might, upon occasion, use the venues to unveil a new product variant of generally limited consequence, but aside from the big shows in the United States, the significant foreign debuts for the U.S. market take place at the major shows like Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris and Tokyo. But if you thought the big shows were hit hard by a cost-conscious industry in remission, that's nothing compared to what Bologna's local show organizers are facing.
When we say "local shows," we're not talking about small towns, either: we're talking about the biggest shows in some of the biggest markets. After many major automakers withdrew, the organizers of the British Motor Show had to cancel the event for 2010. Barcelona's show has gone ahead, but only after significant government incentives. Now organizers of the Bologna Motor Show, the largest in Italy, have announced that the show must go on... despite the withdrawal of every major automaker that was expected to display there.
Last year's show in Bologna drew nearly a million spectators, keen to see what the industry had to offer under one roof. But the Fiat group – which comprises the vast majority of the country's carmakers – informed the organizers it wouldn't be participating. An offer was made to provide the space free of charge, but the remaining costs proved too high (vehicle transport, erecting a display, staffing, etc.), and shortly after, the rest of the industry followed suit, leaving the show with nothing to show. That hasn't deterred the organizers, however, who have shortened the run time from nine days to five and loaded it with motorsport displays in the adjacent stadium. Thus, the diehards will have something to flock to, but nobody's expecting the show to come anywhere near previous attendance numbers.

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say two people have died and five were injured in a two-vehicle accident early Sunday in eastern Wisconsin.
Manitowoc Police Capt. Jerry Zimney told WOMT-AM that one vehicle apparently ran a stop sign and t-boned the other vehicle.
Zimney said two of the three men in one car died, and the third was airlifted. Four people were in the other car and all were taken to local hospitals.
Zimney said alcohol and speed are factors in the crash, which happened around 2:45 a.m. Sunday.

Sunday 19 February 2012: baby cage
This is our answer to having a baby sleep with us but not with us, if you see what I mean. Of course, the fairy lights will have to go once the baby's here, sadly.

Another Rabbani baby has arrived! Farah and Adeel were blessed with a little baby boy yesterday. Mommy and baby are doing well, and big brothers are super excited. Mohib weighed in at 7 pounds and 4 ounces, incidentally exactly what Hamza weighed when he was born. He is a precious little one, with a head full of hair!
Safa Baji was thrilled to be able to hold the little one, before she heads to college today. And you can see that Bilal already loves his baby cousin too!
Looking forward to Labor Day we... read more »
Source: lifemartiniOne of the things that worried me so much when I was pregnant was Jaundice. Having a blood group of O and Rhesus Positive, I knew the chances ofmy babyhaving worse Jaundicewas higher (as I was told, and also read too).
Her Jaundice appeared a few hours after her birth but the bilirubin level went up to287μmol/L in the morning on the third day. We were taken back to the hospital byambulance for some Jaundice photo-therapy treatment.She had another blood test in the evening and by nigh... read more »
Source: WikipediaIf you are a new mother and are planning to breast feed your first baby then there are few things you need to know that will help you for the first few months of breastfeeding.When I was pregnant, I had so many questions that used to bug me and were annoying when I didn't get answers I expected from people I asked.The number one thing that I used to search on the Internet about was, how to increase the production of milk, because I really had no idea and most people simply answered me "d... read more »
I am sure most of you have had a cold before. In fact I have one right now, which is what spurs this post. And I am sure most of you have not been concerned because you knew you could take all those lovelies medicines for congestion etc.Well if you plan to breastfeed or are breastfeeding, be prepared for you to feel like your head will explode.When you are breastfeeding, there are certain things you can't take that could affect your milk supply. I know that after spending 12 weeks getting my supply estab... read more »
You get lots of advice. You read lots of books. You scour Pinterest and the internet for information. Yes, I will admit that some information is helpful and some information you read ends up being true but most of the time it is so generalized that truth has fallen to the wayside. Having a baby is an individualized experience and every baby is different. I will be creating new posts as she gets older with the new lies we are told as she grows up. These are more about a newborn or preparing for a baby.I a... read more »
Let's be honest with ourselves. Most of us enjoy some reality TV every now and again. The unfortunate thing is that a majority of reality shows are no more real than the boobs, face and ass of reality whore Heidi Montag. Who is that you ask? Good she's not relevant anymore.
Anyways, I discovered some actually really interesting content on Youtube quite a few years back. Vlogs. A video blog. For the older folks, it is somebody that carries a camera around with them and records their lives then uploads it... read more »
Being "crunchy" can be a good thing. You have made the decision to live a more natural lifestyle for yourself and your child. You try to keep as many chemicals away from your child that are not necessary and try to keep things more simple. It can also be completely and absolutely ridiculous. Have you ever heard of "Elimination Communication?" Oh you haven't?? Look it up.
This post is just about Crunchy Products. I might do separate posts regarding a crunchy lifestyle with your child, but she is still a ... read more »

It has been 15 years since I gave birth to my baby boy - Jean-Sijent. Friends and readers know how often I talk about him on and about theadvises (aka warnings) I love to discuss here.
Everything happens for a reason they say but back in 1996 when I had a miscarriage with my first baby, I did not believe that at first. It was only after my doctor discovered an ovarian cyst and realized I needed a surgery did I believe. After less than a year, I got pregnant again despite the fact that my ob-gynecologis... read more »
