Decoding DSLR Camera Lens Acronyms (Updated)
Do these DSLR camera lens names confuse you?
- Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
- Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
If you've studied the markings on your lens, you already know it's littered with acronyms. It only gets worse as you dig deeper and realize that every lens vendor has created their own alphabet soup for the same meanings.
Even once you locate a definition, you're flooded with words like aspherical, apochromatic, fluorite, nano crystal, ultrasonic, hypersonic, hyperzoom, extra-low dispersion and chromatic aberration.
The only aberration I see is the nonsense of such complexity! In this post, I'll break down lens names and cover off the acronyms that I think matter most. I'll also include links to a few useful glossaries and lens-locating resources.
Lens Listings
Before I get started, here are the official lenses offered by the most popular DSLR camera brands:
Additionally, third-party manufacturers produce lenses with mounts for multiple camera brands:
Lens Mount
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
- Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
The most important acronym on any lens will be the one that tells you if it actually fits your camera or not. This relates directly to your camera brand, make and sensor size. Luckily, most people have cameras with cropped (APS-C) sensors and they can take all classic and modern "made-for-digital" lenses (same brand lenses or third-party lenses targeted for the camera brand).
If, however, you own a full-frame sensor camera (e.g. Canon EOS 5D Mark II), then you need to be more careful as it cannot take lenses made for smaller sensors.
UPDATE: I talk extensively about crop-factor in Episode 1 of "Back to Basics", my new video tutorial series.
Lenses for Full-Frame and Cropped Sensor Cameras
Look for these acronyms to find lenses that work only on full-frame cameras (those with sensors that are the same size as 35mm film). Digital cameras with smaller sensors can also use these (i.e. these lenses create a larger image than the smaller sensor which is why it works).
- Canon: EF
- Nikon: FX
- Sony: Any lens without "DT"
- Pentax: D FA and FA
- Sigma: DG
- Tamron: Di
- Tokina: FX
Lenses Only for Cropped-Sensor Cameras
Look for these acronyms to find lenses built specifically for DSLR cameras with smaller sensors (referred to as an APS-C sensors). Since the sensor is smaller, the diameter of the lens barrel can be reduced. This makes the lens more lightweight and cheaper to manufacture. These do not work on full-frame cameras as the image produced would be smaller than the sensor (picture a huge black vignette).
- Canon: EF-S
- Nikon: DX
- Sony: DT
- Pentax: DA
- Sigma: DC
- Tamron: Di II
- Tokina: DX
Focal Length
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
- Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
Technically, focal length is the distance in millimetres between where light from infinity is focused and the optical centre of the lens. In laymen terms, it determines how close or far you feel from the subject. The smaller the number, the wider the angle. The large the number, the more zoomed in you'll be.
Luckily, there's only a few common names for focal length ranges:
- Ultra-wide: 16mm or less
- Wide: 17-35mm
- Standard / Normal: 50mm (similar to human eye)
- Medium Telephoto: 70-85mm
- Telephoto: 135-300mm
- Super Telephoto: 400mm or greater
A lens name may have a single focal length value (e.g. 24mm) or a range (24-70mm). Those with a single focal length are called "prime" lenses while those with a range are called "zoom" lenses. Zoom lenses are convenient but prime lenses are often faster (i.e. let in more light), weigh less and cost less. To zoom with a prime lens, you just need to move your feet!
UPDATE: I also cover focal length and angle of view in Episode 1 of Learning DSLR: Back to Basics.
It's important to note that the focal length of a lens is always provided as the "35mm equivalent" value. That means the number only relates to cameras with full-frame sensors. Most digital cameras, however, have sensors smaller than 35mm film (APS-C sensor size). You must do a conversion of the focal length to determine if a lens is actually wide, normal or telephoto.
Since the APS-C sensor is smaller than 35mm film, the camera uses only the the center portion of the image produced by the lens. It's like cropping a photo in post-production. It's similar to zooming in without actually changing the nature of the photo.
To know how a particular focal length will "feel" on your cropped-sensor camera, you need to apply a multiplier to the focal length value in the lens name (e.g. 50mm x 1.6 = 80mm).
The required multiplier varies by camera manufacturer:
- Nikon, Sony & Pentax: 1.5x multiplier
- Canon: 1.6px multiplier
For example, if you really wanted a normal (50mm) prime lens for your cropped-sensor camera, do division instead. 50mm divided by 1.6 (for Canon) is 31.25mm. The closest lenses you'll find are 28mm and 35mm (which will feel like 44mm and 56mm respectively).
For Canon cropped-sensor owners wanting a normal lens, I suggest the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM ($450) given the 35mm f/2 ($300) does not have an ultrasonic focusing motor (see below for more on that) and the 35mm f/1.4L ($1,370) is too expensive. If you buy a 50mm, it would work fine but you might find it tight. Personally, I like the 80-85mm feel of my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ($350).
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
- Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
Aperture is the opening created to allow light to enter a lens. It is varied by mechanical blades inside the lens. A lens' maximum aperture is specified as part of its name (e.g. f/2.8). The minimum aperture is never specified (e.g. f/22 or f/32) but you can look it up.
UPDATE: I explain aperture in-depth in Episode 2 of Learning DSLR: Back to Basics
A smaller aperture value is better overall as it means the lens can let in more light when needed and it's easier to blur the background for some selective focusing. The downside is it costs more to manufacture and typically weighs more than comparable lenses (larger pieces of glass).
Aperture values are tough to learn at first as they're a ratio to focal length. It's done this way for consistency across all lens focal lengths (f/2.8 in a 24mm lets is the same amount of light as f/2.8 in a 500mm lens). Since it's a ratio, aperture values are expressed as fractions "f/2.8″ or in ratio notation "1:2.8″.
Most kit zoom lenses have an aperture range in their name (e.g. f/3.5-5.6). The range means that the maximum aperture gets worse as you zoom in (less light reaches the sensor the more you zoom). Your camera must compensate with a slower shutter speed or a higher ISO setting. This is most noticeable during video capture as the image really does darken as you zoom in. Professional lenses typically have a constant aperture throughout the zoom range to overcome this shortcoming… but this will cost you (e.g. Canon 70-200mm f/4L or f/2.8L).
Also, don't get fooled by the small steps in aperture values when the aperture values are small numbers (e.g. below f/4). Small jumps in those values have a big impact. Think of it as a percentage of change in those values. The difference between f/1.4 and f/2 is the same as f/16 and f/22. In both cases, the lower value lets in twice as much light as the higher value.
Premium Lens Characteristics
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
You'll notice that lenses prices can vary widely, even for the same focal-length. Why is one Canon 50mm lens $99 and another $1459? The answer is found in the premium properties of the "professional" grade lenses.
Pro-grade lenses have many additional features that boost image quality and make the lens more robust, like weather sealing and metal barrels.
Here's some of the premium features you may want in a lens:
- Aspherical (concentrates light more accurately)
- Extra-Low dispersion glass (reduces chromatic aberration)
- Apochromatic (reduces chromatic aberration)
- Internal focusing (faster focusing, no lens movement)
- Rear focusing (faster focusing, no lens movement)
- Weather sealing (more robust)
- Special coatings (improve image sharpness, avoid flares)
The definition of what is a premium or pro-grade property varies the most across lens manufacturers. Some summarize it with a single letter like Canon's "L" designation, while others list each premium feature with its own acronym.
- Canon: "L" (Luxury) + red ring around the lens
- Nikon: "N" (Nano crystal coat) + gold ring around the lens
- Sony: "G" and "Carl Zeiss"
- Pentax: "DA Star"and "DA Limited"
For the other brands, it seems to me that there's no single designation. They just tack on the alphabet soup of premium features such as ASP, APO, IF, etc. You'll need to dig into their respective glossaries for more definitions.
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
One of the latest (and most expensive) additions to a lens is technology to reduce the effects of camera shake. They allow you to take a sharp photo with 1/8th to 1/16th less light (i.e. 3 to 4 stops of light). This is critical for interior shots without a flash.
To a find a lens with this feature, look for these acronyms:
- Canon: IS (Image Stabilization)
- Nikon: VR (Vibration Reduction)
- Sigma: OS (Optical Stabilization)
- Tamron: VC (Vibration Compensation)
- Tokina: Not available
Some camera manufacturers stabilize the sensor instead of putting the technology in the lens. This means every lens you buy benefits from the technology. Two such manufacturers are Sony and Pentax:
- Sony: Super SteadyShot
- Pentax: Shake Reduction
Lens Version
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM
On some lenses, you might see a roman numeral like "II" or "III". This exists to tell you that a lens with exactly the same specifications, by the same vendor, existed prior to this lens. In my example, "II" is said as "Mark 2″ and it means it's the second generation Canon lens for 24mm f/1.4L. Typically a lens is updated to boost sharpness and auto-focus.
If you're shopping for used lenses, be aware of this difference as it will have an impact on price. For example, compare prices on eBay the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM vs. Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.
Ultrasonic Motor
Portion of lens name being discussed:
- Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
- Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro
If you want a quiet and fast auto-focusing lens, then an ultrasonic motor built right into the lens is a must. Older motors are noticeable louder and slower. Most new lenses have this feature so you don't have to look too hard to find it.
Not all camera manufacturers state the focusing motor type in the lens name. Nikon, for example, doesn't seem to include it.
Here's the acronyms you're looking for:
- Canon: USM (Ultra Sonic Motor)
- Canon: STM (Stepping Motor)
- Nikon: SWM (Silent Wave Motor)
- Sony: SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
- Pentax: SDM
- Sigma: HSM (Hypersonic Motor)
- Tamron: USD
- Tokina: DC
These lenses typically include the ability to manually focus your lens while it's still in auto-focus (AF) mode. For Nikon, they have a dedicated acronym for this: "AF-S" instead of just "AF".
Note for Canon owners: Canon uses the USM acronym to denote two types of ultrasonic motors. You want lenses that have Ring USM (not the cheaper micromotor version). Check the lens' specifications to be sure.
UPDATE June 8, 2012: Canon's new STM functionality provides quiet, smooth and continuous autofocus during video operation. The continuous autofocus will only work with the Canon T4i currently and cameras released after June 2012. That said, a more silent motor is always appreciated if it's as fast as Ring USM.
Specialty Lenses
Sometimes a lens will include a designation to signal it's a special type of lens. Three of the most common specialties are:
- Macro
- Fisheye
- Tilt-Shift
A macro lens allows you to get very close to your subject and represent small items as a major part of a photograph. The image on your sensor can be 1:1 or larger. Macro photography often involves flowers, insects and small collectable items but it can be anything.
Learn more about macro photography and see some examples of macro photography of Flickr.
To find a macro lens, just look for the word "Macro" in the lens name.
Most lenses render straight edges (e.g. horizon and buildings) as straight, even if it requires stretching the image in the corners. They are referred to as rectilinear lenses. A fisheye lens, however, permits distortion to occur at wide-angles and they're referred to as curvilinear. Imagine a landscape photo that simulates the curvature of the earth on the horizon or a building interior that seems to fit entirely in a single photo.
Fisheye lenses can produce perfectly round 180-degree images (8-10mm on a full-frame camera) but can also fill the entire frame (10-15mm). Learn more about fisheye lenses and see some examples of fisheye photography on Flickr.
To find a fisheye lens, just look for the word "Fisheye" in the name.
This expensive but very cool type of lens doesn't zoom and doesn't even auto-focus. What it has is the ability to change the plane of focus by pivoting relative to the image plane (tilt) and the ability to move in parallel to the image plan (shift). The tilt and shift is done with simple thumb screws.
The shift feature is popular in architectural photography as it allows you keep your camera level to the ground (which avoids converging vertical lines) while still allowing you to fit in a tall building (see this explained in detail here).
A popular use of the tilt feature is for selective focus (e.g. unnatural blurring of foreground and background which brings focus to one banded area of the photo). This is popular in contemporary wedding portraits but also with landscapes as it can make real-world scenes appear like miniatures.
Learn more about tilt-shift photography and see some examples of tilt-shift photography.
To find a tilt-shift lens, look for these special acronyms:
- Canon: TS-E (Tilt-Shift)
- Nikon: PC-E (Perspective Control)

Leaders in small, rural hospitals recognize that emerging value-based payment models will have a significant impact on their organizations, according to the latest research report from HFMA's Value Project. Small, rural hospitals face a number of unique challenges in the move toward improved value, including limited scale, which restricts their access to affordable capital and their ability to take advantage of population management initiatives. However, some small, rural hospitals are tackling the challenge of limited scale with the following strategies.
Rural facilities are reevaluating the need for specialty services in their communities as part of their organization's strategic planning efforts. For example, Franklin Memorial, Farmington, Maine, underwent a strategic planning process through which it recommitted to offering some specialty services. Wayne Bennett, the hospital's CFO, says competitive dynamics, including the emergence of value-based payment, have made it imperative that the hospital deliver these specialty services efficiently and effectively. As a result, Franklin Memorial has engaged in an intensive effort to bend its cost curve by assessing overhead costs associated with quality management, case management, utilization review, and documentation, as well as taking another look at vendor contracts and the use of supplies. "We are trying to figure out how to streamline and reengineer our delivery of specialty services," Bennett says. "I think there's a lot of opportunity to improve value in this area.In addition to determining what level of specialty services is realistic and appropriate for community needs, rural hospitals also are assessing how best to deliver these services. Some organizations have opted to provide certain specialty services through telehealth partnerships. For example, Copper Queen Community Hospital, Bisbee, Ariz., has established telehealth arrangements for cardiology services and strokes and is working on a burn program.For services provided by specialists in the community, some organizations have established suites where visiting specialists (who usually come from regional, tertiary care facilities or larger, multispecialty clinics) can see patients when they are in town, making it easier for these specialists to conduct pre- and post-operative patient visits. Franklin Memorial has dozens of physicians—mostly specialists from outside areas—who have admitting privileges. Andalusia Regional Hospital in southern Alabama has 52 physicians on its courtesy staff, and a number of specialists—representing cardiology, urology, pulmonology, neurology, nephrology, oncology, and ophthalmology—hold periodic clinics at the hospital in a strategic partnership with a neighboring system.
Adding one or two primary care physicians to a rural hospital can significantly affect care delivery, mainly because of the physicians' importance in managing patients in a value-based payment environment and the power they hold in coordinating care with specialists. Attracting and using physician extenders also can help rural hospitals bolster their primary care base.Crete Area Medical Center, a 24-bed critical access hospital in Crete, Neb., has taken the additional step of organizing its four physicians and three mid-level providers into patient-centered medical homes. This strategy will help the facility more effectively address underlying population care issues, such as chronic disease management. As Bryce Betke, Crete's CFO, noted, "We are doing this to position for the future."
Rural hospitals may have an opportunity to network with larger, neighboring health systems, many of which are likely to be interested in generating more referrals from rural areas. These types of strategic partnerships could better position the rural facility to gain access to specialists within the community, leverage capabilities of the system, and participate in a broader continuum of care.For example, Crete Area Medical Center aligned with a larger health system in 2001, leveraging the health system's expertise in Lean process improvement, patient-centered medical homes, and quality performance measurement, including readmissions, infections, medical errors, and harmful events, says CFO Bryce Betke.Franklin Memorial has three larger systems nearby. A subcommittee of board members is charged with determining whether Franklin Memorial should align with any of these systems, and, if so, which one. A potential advantage to Franklin Memorial of this type of alignment is augmenting the availability of specialists from the larger systems in Franklin Memorial's community.Networking with a larger health system provides the rural facility with the opportunity to participate in a broader continuum of care. For example, the network could complement the primary and long-term care provided by the rural facility with secondary and tertiary services. This type of affiliation could provide access to longitudinal patient data that enables total health management across the care continuum. It might also present opportunities to participate in population risk-based payment arrangements.By ensuring the right mix of specialists in the community, increasing their primary care base, and networking with larger systems, small, rural hospitals can improve coordination of care, enable the development of population care capabilities (such as chronic disease management), and better position their organizations for value-based payment.

|Raw food entree with side salads from Gló
While on my flight with IcelandAir to Iceland, I was reading the in-flight magazine and that is how I first learned about Gló. From the Gló website:
Sólveig Eiríksdóttir or Solla, Gló's head chef, has been in the healthy food business for over thirthy years. She has had a very positive influence on the eating habits of the Icelandic nation. Solla has received international recognition and was voted the best RAW Gourmet Chef and the best RAW Simple Chef in the Best of RAW awards 2011 & 2012. She has a never ending passion for raw food and healthy eating and eagerly shares her experience and educates people with her delicious recipes.
|Solla on the left and Kate McKinnon on the right
Reykjavik Marathon at nearby Laugardalshöll Sports Hall, we were so close to the Hilton Nordica and that meant we were also close to one of the Gló locations. Located opposite the Hilton in a small strip mall, there is ample free parking and easy access to the restaurant. Turned out it was another wet day in Reykjavik or I might have sat at one of their tables outside.
Since the menu isn't in English, it doesn't hurt to ask for a little assistance, like I did. I was able to decipher that the first item was a raw Mexican plate and I went with that as did my husband while my son decided he was sticking with the one chicken option. I'll be honest as I was the one that was the most excited about going and my two companions were well, more than a little reluctant. My husband has been a vegetarian now for about two years so although I thought he might find it interesting, I wasn't sure he was going to embrace it fully.
What's unique about Gló is that you can go with vegetarians, vegans, raw foodies, and carnivores alike and everyone can get something to eat. This is because they offer four dishes of the day with a raw food item, chicken, vegetarian, and a soup of the day. Since the menu changes daily, you can visit more than once and know you won't try the same thing twice.
What is raw food? "Raw food is about consuming unprocessed vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, heated under 47°C. This preperation method preserves the enzymes in the ingredients, so your body gets an extra large portion of excellent nutrition."

text: Malaysian Grand Prix: Renault report from Sepang 24 March, 2013 Race winner Sebastian Vettel celebrates Two Renault powered drivers stepped onto the podium following a scintillating Malaysian Grand Prix today. Sebastian Vettel won the 56 lap race from team-mate Mark Webber to take the lead of the drivers' championship and extend Infiniti Red Bull Racing's cushion at the top of the constructors' title race. Webber held the lead in the early stages of the race as Vettel made an early stop to slick tyres, but the two strategies saw the pair racing closely after Vettel passed Hamilton for second in the mid point of the race. The reigning world champion then stopped earlier for his fourth and final pit stop, and when Webber exited his final tyre change, the two were nose to tail. Vettel got past on lap 46, eventually pulling out a four second lead by the end of the race. Lotus F1 Team, winners of the Australian Grand Prix, finished in sixth and seventh with Romain Grosjean and Kimi Raikkonen respectively after tight battles with the Ferrari of Felipe Massa and Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg. Raikkonen is now second in the drivers' championship while the team retains second. Williams F1 Team's Valtteri Bottas finished in 11th overall, less than one second from scoring his first-ever F1 points. Team-mate Pastor Maldonado retired from the race on lap 45 after a suspected KERS failure. Caterham F1 Team again finished with two cars, with Charles Pic 14th and Giedo van der Garde 15th. Rémi Taffin, Renault Sport F1 head of track operations The Malaysian Grand Prix is always a hard challenge for the engines on account of the percentage of the lap spent at wide open throttle and the low speed driveability required for the hairpin turns. Managing fuel consumption is also tricky with the weather changing very quickly. With Sepang being the second race of the year, we started to see different strategies emerging with engine usage, with some teams choosing to run units to high mileage and others changing to new ones. As the field is so tight this year how you allocate your engines and the mileage accrued will become a very important consideration in gaining track position later on this season. Overall, it's been a fascinating Grand Prix weekend and a very positive result for Renault Sport F1, with four Renault engines finishing in the top ten and the top three drivers in the championship powered by the RS27. Across the four teams in Australia and Malaysia we've covered around 12,000km without any major issues – the engine change for Pastor this morning was precautionary and will not affect our plans for the year at all – so we are completely on schedule for where we should be now. We have a bit of a gap before the next race so we'll return to Viry and work with the teams to maximize performance for the next double header.

The Importance of Position
Seating position can have a big impact on your chances for success in a tournament round.
When you take a seat at a tournament table, you should be armed with a basic strategy of how you plan to approach the game. But there's one unknown about your round that won't be settled until you sit down at the table. Seating position can have a big impact on your chances for success in a tournament round. Most tournaments assign seats in a random fashion, by having the player draw from a blind set of seating choices. However, some tournaments allow players to choose their seats. When available, this option can give you an extra edge if you know how to take advantage.
Let's take a look at why some seats are better than others. There are two main areas in which position matters. First, there's the impact of the betting button. In tournament play, the first-base button moves around the table, and each player in turn must bet and act in sequence starting at the button. If you're "on the button", that means you're forced to choose your bet before the other players, and don't have the benefit of knowing what they will bet behind you. Also, during play of the hand, you'll have to play your hand before seeing any of your opponents play. By way of contrast, the player to your immediate right has a considerable advantage on this hand, being able to see all players bet amounts before making a decision.
By rotating the button around the table, each player has a roughly equal number of bets "on the button" and "last to act", as well as everything in between. But, not all hands of a round are of equal importance. In particular, the last hand is usually the determining factor of who advances and who is eliminated. With that in mind, there's a big advantage to be gained if you manage to be last to act on the final hand.
If you're last to act on the final hand, you don't necessarily have to be the chip leader to be the favorite to advance.
If you'll have that edge on the last hand, you can afford to be a little more conservative in the rest of the round, knowing that you'll be able to fine-tune your bet at the end by seeing everyone else's bet. If you're last to act on the final hand, you don't necessarily have to be the chip leader to be the favorite to advance. On the other hand, if you're on the button for the last hand, being the chip leader is very important for your chances.
Of course, most tournaments choose the starting button position randomly, meaning you can't pick a seat that is more likely to have a favorable last hand button. There are exceptions. I've played some mini-tournaments where the button always starts at seat 1, to the dealer's left. If you're able to choose your seat in an event like that, it's well worth the effort to figure out the most likely final button position, and ask for the seat to the immediate right of it. For example, if there will be 6 players, and the round has 20 hands, I'd ask for seat 1. If all 6 players stay in for the entire 20 hands, the button will end up in front of seat 2 on the last hand. By asking for seat one, I have a better than usual chance of having last bet on the final hand. Of course, players often drop out before the end, causing the button position on the last hand to be unpredictable. Still, it's a nice opportunity to get an extra edge, even if it doesn't always work.
Much more commonly, tournaments have a random way of choosing the button position for hand one. In the Las Vegas Hilton Million tournament, all players were dealt a five-card poker hand, and the highest ranking hand got the first button. Other tournaments roll a single die, or deal out cards to players until the first Ace is dealt. In these events, there's no advantage available by choosing a particular seat. However, once the random choice of button position has been made, it's still valuable to know where that puts you.
An example might help: Assume you're playing in a round of 30 hands with 6 players. You're seated in seat 3, and after a random selection, the button will start out in front of you in seat 3. If you figure out the final hand button position assuming all the players hang around until the end, you'll see that the final button will be in front of seat 2, making you second to bet on the last hand. So, "winning" the first button is not a lucky thing in this case. But, now that you know you'll likely have poor position at the end of the round, you can tailor your playing strategy to minimize the damage. Knowing you'll likely be second to bet at the end, you may want to try to accumulate a few extra chips along the way. A little extra risk may be worthwhile, because the extra chips you could win will be worth more from early position on the final hand.
If any players at your table lose all their chips in the middle of the round and are eliminated, you'll have to refigure your final position. Because this is pretty common, many players don't bother with the button position until late in the round when the final outcome is likely to be more predictable. I like to know up front, and then refigure if a player drops out.
Players on your left are a bigger threat than players on your right.
The second important aspect of position has to do with the players around you at the table. Players on your left are a bigger threat than players on your right. If a player on your left has a chip advantage over you, it's much tougher to catch him or her than a similar player on your right. A player to your immediate left is said to have position on you, because that player gets to see your wager and action on every hand but one per round of the table. In a 6-player format, the player to your left acts after you on 5 out of 6 hands. This gives him or her the ability to margin any of your attempts to catch up, and to easily guard any lead by matching your bets.
Because of this impact of position, it's helpful to pay extra attention to the players behind you. If you have opportunities late in the round to double or split and pass their chip totals, it's probably worth considering. If you find yourself trailing the players to your left, you might consider waiting until they are on the button before trying to catch up. By seeing the amount of their wager, you can size your bet more effectively. Since you only get the chance once every 6 hands, you don't want to miss the opportunity.
In events where you can choose your seat, it's useful to know something about your opponents. If you have a particularly strong tournament player at your table, it would be best to have them seated on your right, where they have less of an advantage over you. Also keep in mind that the player at third-base is considered to be to the right of first-base or seat 1.
Choosing a seat can be helpful when it is allowed, but being aware of your button position is important in every tournament round. Taking your opponent's relative position into account when deciding how to bet against them in the middle hands of a round can make the difference between advancing and being eliminated. Best of luck out there, and, please, don't sit to my left!

China Firm to Acquire Major African Mine
BEIJING -- A privately owned Chinese company is finalizing the acquisition of an Australian mining firm that controls a major iron ore mine in west Africa, a move that would give China a stronger role in setting global iron ore prices, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported Saturday.
Xinhua, citing officials from Hanlong Group, said Hanlong plans to complete the acquisition of Sundance Resources Ltd. for 45 Australian cents (50 cents) per share by March 1, after submitting paperwork to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Calls to Hanlong's headquarters in southwestern China's Sichuan province went unanswered Saturday.
Sundance controls the Mbalam iron ore mine, which straddles Cameroon and the Republic of Congo.Hanlong is seeking a partnership with Chinese state-owned companies and investing $5 billion to develop the Mbalam project and to build a 550-kilometer (340-mile) railway and a shipping port, Xinhua said. Operations are expected to begin in 2014, it said. As the world's second-largest economy, China is eager to acquire overseas assets and resources to feed its rapid growth.

Knocked Out Tooth
It happens all the time. Someone falls and hits their mouth on a hard surface, and out comes a tooth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the following guidelines for saving a knocked-out permanent tooth:
- Rinse the tooth gently in cool water. Do not scrub, and do not use soap!
- If possible, return tooth to its socket and hold it there with gauze or a wash cloth.
- If you cannot reinsert the tooth, place it in a clean contain with cold milk or water.
- Call your dentist immediately. The faster you get to the dentist, the better chance you have of saving your tooth!

Alfie Mafi handed Western Force a surprise 19-12 win over the 2011 champions Queensland Reds as they celebrated their first win in Brisbane in six attempts.
Former All Black Alby Mathewson starred in the victory with the No 9 setting up Mafi to score the only try of the match, while Sias Ebersohn booted 14 points for the Perth outfit.
The Reds, chasing a 23rd win from 26 home matches, never came close to their fluent best in a hard-fought encounter with too many handling errors throughout the team, although Quade Cooper kept them in the game with four goals.
The Force, who have now won at all four of their Australian Super Rugby rivals, were unlucky not to clinch their first win of the season by a bigger margin but for some valiant defending and some bad luck.
The result moves them up to 11th place above the Waratahs and the Rebels.
"We're bitterly disappointed with that performance," said Reds captain Will Genia, who made his comeback from a knee injury.
"It's very poor. We got a little possession there but we got carried over there trying to do silly things and we got what we deserved."Super 15. Click here to bet.

Kanye West's proposal to Kim Kardashian captured on video
In true Kardashian style, video footage of Kanye West's proposal to Kim Kardashian on her 33rd birthday has hit the web.
The moment the rapper got down on bended knee Monday at AT&T Park in San Francisco to ask for his baby mama's hand in marriage was shot by YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, according to Us Weekly. The series of edited clips captures every detail, from the full orchestra playing Lana del Ray's "Young and Beautiful" to the fireworks display -- even Kim's reaction, albeit from about 50 yards away.
Even Kimye critics can't say it's not romantic.
At the end of the video, we even hear part of a toast (which Us says is by Lorraine Schwartz, who designed the 15-carat sparkler West presented to Kardashian) as family and friends celebrate at what appears to be a restaurant or bar.
"I'm very excited, congratulations!" she says in the toast. "Happy Birthday, what an incredible birthday present. I'm thrilled Kanye's in your life and vice versa."
And Hurley wasn't the only one with a camera. A full crew, boom mic and all, can be see in the footage, so chances are fans will get to see the engagement all over again on next season's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
Watch the video below and tell us: Do you think Kimye will live happily ever after?

1-6 Months
New Mexico, USA
I'll come back if they'll have me
Roughly: Australia/New Zealand, (Northern) Japan, (Southern) Japan, India (Bombay), Eastern Europe/Mediterranean (Turkey…Croatia) to Western Europe, back to U.S.
Been travelling for extended amounts of time since I was 16. Longest stay: 1 year , that was in the comfortable country of Spain though. I am going with my husband to be. We have been backpacking/camping for a while and this is something that we have both wanted to do for years. The only problem is time, money, and trying to decide exactly where to go! We want to see everything.
Haven't planned much yet…lots to do!!! Running out of money. Only seeing a small part of the world.
Yes. They have always known that this is something that I would eventually do. They think it seems fun and adventurous. They are of concered of my safety, which is normal I think. It is hard to not see your family (or in this case, not even talk to them) for more than a month. My fiancee is very supportive too…of course.
Control Freak
Packing light. Backpack, sleeping bag and mat, stove, mess kit, cooking pot(s), headlamp…I am still working on the list.
My ambition is to always be a traveller. It is something that I never want to cease to do. My prediction is that this trip will only solidify my passion and further drive me to see and experience more of the world and its environment in my lifetime. My past travel experiences have done just this. They have opened my eyes to so many amazing languages, cultures, natural habitats, and manmade phenomena. I love it!
Put everything you see and do into perspective.
To challenge themselves to live outside their comfort zone (anytown, usa). The stress, difficulties, and unfamiliarities that are experienced are well worth it. Whether they think so or not.
Everyone speaks English.
Mentally, physically, and culturally challenging. I live spiritually as opposed to materially.
Plan, save, and have fun.

How best to ensure Christian orthodoxy
March 28 2012 at 8:00 PM
No score for this post
There has for many years been an argument among Christians as to which takes precedence in determining what is orthodox Christian belief: Holy Scripture, The Holy Spirit, or the Ancient Teachings of the Church.
Catholics generally hold that all THREE sources must agree in an individual's understanding before that person can be pretty sure his belief is correct.
Protestants are divided, some saying that Scripture is the paramount authority and some that the Holy Spirit is paramount. Protestants also generally depend much more on the individual as his own authority rather than accepting the authority of the Church's expression of the Ancient Teachings.
Here, now, is an article which uses the Quakers to point out how
using only one source for authority can cause a person or group to drift from orthodoxy
. The Quakers, and many other Protestants, emphasize beliefs as revealed by the Holy Spirit to the individual over Scripture and the Teachings.
In any case, in Protestantism, the individual is the judge of orthodoxy and correctness of belief. This, however, opens the person, and the group of which he is a member, to belief errors caused by his own ideas and interpretations, or by listening to a spirit who claims to be the Holy Spirit but isn't. That danger is lessened somewhat if a denomination teaches reliance on BOTH Scripture and the Holy Spirit equally. Among Catholics, the authority of the Church and its dependence on all THREE sources of authority provide additional protection to the individual.
Any comments on how best to avoid drifting away unknowingly from God's Word?

I'll add an example of doctrinal drift here from my personal experience. I used to be Episcopalian, until I realized they had begun teaching apostate doctrines: Homosexuality is blessed by God; this is in contradiction to such scriptures as
Romans 1:16-32
. And abortion is a blessing God gives to women.
The Episcopal Church resolves the scriptural contradictions in both cases by stating that either God has decided he was wrong earlier and has changed his mind, or that the original scriptural Authors simply got it wrong, and that the Bible needs to be changed by us Humans to reflect what God actually means now.
Don't miss that thought
: "The Bible needs to be changed"!
The Episcopal leadership justifies their position by reference to the Holy Spirit: "The Holy Spirit has revealed this to us; God is doing a new thing". By abandoning scripture and the Ancient Teachings of the Church, and listening only to what they believe to be the Holy Spirit, the Episcopalians have been deceived into horrible errors.
Yes, "
the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth
". But he will NOT speak in contradiction to the Holy Word; he will speak only as he hears the Word - the same Word taught in Scripture and the Ancient Teachings.
The spirit that speaks in contradiction to either the Scripture or the Ancient Teachings is NOT the Holy Spirit. IMHO.

Artur Szpilka
"The Pin"
(born 12 April 1989 in Wieliczka) is a Polish professional southpaw boxer in Heavyweight division. He fought for Górnik Wieliczka.
He was the Polish cruiserweight champion.
He ended up in boxing only by pure coincident – he was the fan of Wisła Kraków. Spotted as the great talent by a boxing coach when fighting with pseudo-fans of Cracovia outside of a Disco in Wieliczka his home town. The boxing trainer had noticed his exceptional skills and proposed him to try his attempts at the ring. Consequently Artur Szpilka was signed under the contract with Bullit KnockOut Promotions group. Szpilka's career was interrupted in October 2009, before the bout with Wojciech Bartnik was cancelled as Artur Szpilka prior to fight when he was arrested and went to prison during the weigh-in for his match on the undercard of the battle between his countrymen Tomasz Adamek and Andrew Golota in Łódź, Poland. Szpilka was charged for his role in a brawl between soccer hooligans supporting his team Wisla Krakow and bitter rivals Cracovia and sentenced to 18 months in jail. Szpilka stated: "During that time, I realized just what I had lost and began to appreciate boxing more. I kept fit by doing pull-ups, pushups and lifting weights in prison, which helped me build up my upper body strength and punching power. Now I'm hungrier than ever before." Quite an interesting development as just before the fight with David Williams, during the sparing on Jully 22, Szpilka in a second round heavily knocked out Derrell Dixon the partner of Monte Barrett. On the eve of match with David Williams. On October 15th, 2011 Szpilka continued his winning ways by stopping American-based veteran Owen "What The Heck" Beck. Beck failed to come out for the fourth round of a scheduled six-round affair in Katowice, Poland. On Nov 5, 2011 Szpilka stopped David Saulsberry at 1:09 of the second round. He stopped Terrance Marbra in the first round on March 24th 2012. On June 2 2012Szpilka KO in 4 experienced Argentine fighter Gonzalo Omar Basile. "The Pin" face American veteran Jameel McCline at the Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland on June 30 2012 and wins unanimous decision. February 1 2013 on ESPN Friday Night Fights Artur Szpilka and Mike Mollo went to war in the Windy City..Win KO in 6.
Next fight on April 20 2013 Szpilka won a ten round unanimous decision over Brian "The Beast" Minto. Szpilka boxed from the outside and mostly tried to avoid getting into a war like he did in his fight with Mollo.
"War II with Mike Mollo"
August 16 2013 the two fighters meet in the ring for a second time on a much larger stage at U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. The fight was so good, Szpilka earned a fifth round knockout.

Document ID: 116132
Updated: Jun 04, 2013
Contributed by Shashank Singh, Cisco TAC Engineer.
This document describes how to customize the forwarding information base (FIB) ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) on Catalyst 6500 switches that run the Supervisor Engine 720.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on a Cisco Catalyst 6500 switch that runs on a Supervisor Engine 720 with PFC3BXL/PFC3CXL.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
As outlined in the datasheet, PFC3BXL and PFC3CXL support one millon (1M) IPv4 routes and 512,000 (512k) IPv6 routes. However, default outputs look different:
6500#show mls cef maximum-routes FIB TCAM maximum routes :=======================Current :--------- IPv4 + MPLS - 512k (default) IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)
The default numbers for PFC3BXL/PFC3CXL are 512k IPv4 routes and 256k IPv6 routes. These numbers can be increased to 1M IPv4 OR 512k IPv6 routes if you enter mls cef maximum-routes ip|ipv6 [] and reload. But, you cannot achieve both 1M IPv4 AND 512k IPv6 routes at the same time. If you increase the IPv4 TCAM size above the default value, it automatically takes up the IPv6 space and vice versa.
6500(config)#mls cef maximum-routes ip 10076500#show mls cef maximum-routesFIB TCAM maximum routes:======================= IPv4 - 1007k MPLS - 1k (default) IPv6 + IP Multicast - 8k (default)
6500(config)#mls cef maximum-routes ipv6 5036500#show mls cef maximum-routesFIB TCAM maximum routes:======================= IPv4 + MPLS - 16k (default) IPv6 - 503k IP Multicast - 1k (default)

Children at Risk
Following a traumatic event such as the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, or a natural disaster or trauma, children and teens most at risk for PTSD are those who directly witnessed the event, suffered from direct personal consequences (such as the death of a parent, injury to self), had other mental health or learning problems prior to the event, and lack a strong social network. Issues that tend to put people at higher risk for developing PTSD include increased duration of a traumatic event, and higher severity of the trauma experienced. In addition to those risk factors, children and adolescents with violence in the home have a greater risk of developing PTSD after a traumatic event.

A Little About Us.
JEM Organic Farm is a Certified Organic Farm located just outside of Historic Rogersville TN. We are a small family run farm and grow certified organic produce and are one of Tennessee's only Non GMO whole chicken and egg producers as well as Non GMO pork and goat producer.
We have 2 unheated hoophouses which grow year'round as well as our outside fields which are primaraly used in the summer. We have a few fruit trees and some rasperry bushes as well as some strawberries for 2014!
We raise our own hogs and goats, supplying various cuts of each. We also raise NON GMO Meat Birds including chicken, duck and turkey on occasion.
We do offer a CSA, usually in the summer months but this year we may offer one for the winter so stay tuned for more info.
All our animals are raised without confinement and allowed to behave like...umm animals, meaning they root, scratch, eat grass and swim! We rotate each of our animals to clean fields often, offer the best hay we can manage and keep our pastures as nice as possible. We raise them the way nature intended. Our feeling is that healthy, happy animals create a balanced farm and provide the best tasting meat and eggs.
ALL OUR ANIMALS ARE FED 100% NON GMO FEED. This feed is tested at every batch from the supplier and carries the NON GMO Verified Label and there in NO Exception!
Why We Do Things Differently Than Most.
Over the last several years we've read a lot of labels and found that a whole lot of the so-called "natural" foods on the market are treated or contain altered ingredients. Whether it is GMO's, high fructose corn syrup, pesticides or antibiotics, most things found in the grocery stores contain some of this stuff and frankly we are completely tired of filling our shelves with poor food choices and with foods that want to kill us!
So, yes we talk about GMO's, we want to make everyone aware of what pesticides and herbicides can do to our bodies. The saying is "you are what you eat" is important to JEM Farm and should be important to anyone who occasionally eats.......!
Our Farm
Pictures around the Farm
Here are some shots of our farm and chicken enclosures
NON GMO Eggs
We also provide our customers with the finest pasture raised free range Eggs available to man. The feed we use contains NO GMO's and is purely natural. Our chickens are cage free and unconfined, get moved every day to a new patch of grass. They are healthy and happy, which is why their eggs are so wonderful.
• Our pigs are also raised with the animal's welfare in mind. Raised unconfined in our woods they can root to their hearts content. These pigs are generally big! Over 400lbs, we feel raising them this way provides a better meat taste, texture and healthier pig. • All our animals are never given hormones or antibiotics. Our family doesn't want to eat meat from animals treated with drugs and we feel you shouldn't either.

270 Embassy in Washington to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 1090 WASHINGTON, 8 October 1948, 12.37 a.m.
Your 855. [1]
At the time the Netherlands Embassy informed State Department that they would accept the Cochran proposals (our 1079 [2]) they mentioned that they would have certain proposals which they would want discussed during the negotiations. State Department did not attach any particular significance to this until they received advice, presumably from Cochran, as to the nature of the Netherlands counter proposals and the further conditions they were attaching to resumption of negotiations. [3] On learning what the Dutch were proposing, the State Department informed the Netherlands Embassy, and instructed the United States Ambassador in The Hague to inform the Dutch Foreign Office, of their concern.
They told the Dutch that the conditions and counter proposals would almost certainly be unacceptable to the Republic and that Hatta would probably appeal to the Security Council. They said the United States would not feel in a position either to recommend acceptance by Hatta or to dissuade him approaching the Council and that in the Council debate, the Cochran proposals would inevitably be discussed. in that event the United States would, of course, support the proposals of their representative. So far as we can judge, the State Department spoke firmly and solemnly and feel they can do no more to impress on the Dutch their deep concern.
They are now awaiting the Dutch reaction though without too much optimism.
2. We understand that the United States is giving serious consideration to methods by which they can send economic assistance to Hatta and that Cochran has been asked for his recommendations. Soumetro, the Republic's Trade Representative, we believe, entered into a contract for a supply of 1,000 trucks from the United States but these would obviously take some time to arrive. Another possibility is diversion of vehicles en route to China but State Department fear criticism from Congress if this were done. It was suggested to us today that this might be an appropriate moment for Australia to approach the Dutch again for permission to send medical supplies to the Republic. The State Department feel it might assist if it could be stated that purpose was to assist Hatta in his struggle against Communists and that the Dutch would be free to inspect the shipments to ensure that they included only medical supplies.
3. One aspect which is clearly giving concern to the United States at the present time is the risk that if Hatta gains the impression that the United States will give him strong support because of his firm stand against Communism he may feel that there is no need for negotiation or compromise. The United States realise that the Dutch have exploited the Communist bogey in the past, and they do not wish to create conditions in which Hatta may play the same game.

It IS saying it's a stallion that's neutered. A gelding is a stallion that
had his balls cut off. If you castrate a stallion young enough, he won't
respond to a mare in heat at all. Whereas, the longer you wait to castrate
him, the more he will still act like a stallion, even after he's castrated.
Not all the time, but most.

@beanz1244 Actually a mule is a cross between a female horse and a male
donkey. This cross would produce an animal known as a hinny, which is
pretty well useless for anything, though interesting enough, mules are
sterile and hinnys are not, they are perfectly capable of breeding. I dont
think anybody really knows why that is.

Author Vailith (4 years)
What you're doing it wrong and cruel. The donkey is too small to be bearing
a foal from a horse. If you want a mule it's the other way around. Male
donkey, female horse. Getting a donkey pregnant by a horse is dangerous,
the foal could become too large and kill the donkey...Don't do this again,
it's cruel.

Author coromande (5 years)
y is there a horse and donkey breeeding?
Author Susukeyup5555555 (5 years)
To phillyhippie: A gelding is a almost like saying a stallion is neutered.
Meaning his breeding capabilities are taken to make him calmer. Meaning, he
cannot get it up to breed to the in heat female, despite how much he might
want to. Its just like getting a male dog fixed except a horse is a hundred
times bigger.
Author 2Simple2Blink (4 years)
@ConceptionalHatred *sigh* an equine, that goes for donkeys too will only
have a baby as big as their body will allow any real growth is done after
the foal is born. its normal and happens all the time with PROFESSIONAL
breeders who breed 17 hand horses to 15 hand mares and so on. these two are
nearly the same size. its likely the donkey just wasn't in heat.

I'll admit it: I'm a hugger. There's nothing I like more than getting up close and personal with another hairy human. I hug my husband, child and dog as often as they'll let me. I hug friends. I hug hello and goodbye. I hug taxi drivers and shop assistants. I'd hug the guy who makes my coffee if I could reach over the counter. In fact, if you live locally and you haven't experienced a hearty Toon hug, then please get in touch, I'm ready and willing.
But why do I love hugging so much?
Well according to the interweb, hugging is good for you. From a medical standpoint it lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, boosts memory and floods your innards with the 'feel good' hormone oxytocin.
Just ten minutes of hugging a day can give you a more positive outlook, and apparently those couples who regularly entwine themselves in a huggy fashion have a stronger emotional bond.
Yoga teacher Marcus Felicetti advises us that if we get our quota of 'eight hugs a day' we can combat sickness, disease, depression, loneliness, anxiety and stress. Sounds awesome, right?
But if you're not a natural hugger, or don't have anyone regularly willing to submit to a good hard hugging – what then?
Well, a company on the East Cost of America has developed a solution – by offering professional snugglers for hire with a range of 'snuggle buddies' who promise to sooth away your stress with hugs.
Expect to shell out anything from $60 for an hour-long cuddle, or if you're in need of some more intensive hugging, they also offer a 10-hour overnight package for $400.
(N.B. The service markets it's self as entirely platonic – so those wanting a little more than a hug need not apply.)
Of course, touch therapy has been around for a long time in one form or another and has been used to treat a variety of physical and psychological ailments.
Health experts argue that after touch therapy, such as massage, there's a noticeable reduction in the action of the hypothalamic area of the brain (which controls the so-called flight or flight response'). Touching and hugging comforts and relaxes us, stops us feeling threatened and therefore promotes a sense of security and well-being.
It's clear that there are many people who could benefit from some serious hugging, which is the reason Juan Mann started his famed FREE HUGS campaign (www.freehugscampaign.org), hugging complete strangers to brighten up their lives.
Although he was eventually banned – due to public liability issues (seriously!) – the spirit of his hugging manifesto lives on!
So today, if you're feeling a little blue (or know someone who is) reach out, hug them and share in the warm glow that comes from platonically and physically connecting with another human being.
