The book covers blending the bowls, a basic porting procedure, and also covers pocket porting, porting the intake runners, and many advanced procedures. These advanced procedures include unshrouding valves, porting a shortside turn from the floor of the port down toward the valve seat, and developing the ideal port area and angle. All of these changes combine to produce optimal flow velocity through the engine for maximum power.

I've just given away my last book (a Archelogical Bible). It was given to one of my friends, who was looking for a new Bible. She was thrilled, and I know she will get a lot of use out of it. 3 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How I did it: When I went through the books I had I decided whether I wanted to keep a book or not. If I didn't want to keep it I decided where it should go.
Regarding the Bible it was a prompting by God, so that is how it left my bookshelves. Read how I did it… 3 years ago

It's two am and this old bar is closing
He knows the partners
Have been chosen
But in the corner both
He spots lonely youth
And he catches her eye
And he moves fast
And says my name is Steven
Guess I blew my chance
Since everyone is leaving
She stands up to go, never says hello
But she never says goodbye
Then she smiles
And leans her head back
Towards the door
And as she takes his hand
His jaw falls to the floor
Now we all take chances
Every once in a while
We take chances
If it's just to ease our minds
We all take chances
Wrong or right
Ah ,but sometimes chances
Take us by surprise
Morning light comes
Shining throw her window
She wakes just in time to hear him go
She curls up in bed
Hands on her head
Tears in her eyes
She relives the night
They spend together
Shouts out loud
Lord knows I knew better
Then she hears a sound
Slips on her gown, takes a look outside
With coffee and flowers
He walks toward the door
And as he says good morning
Her jaw falls to the floor
Now we all take chances
Every once in a while
We take chances
If it's just to ease our minds
We all take chances
Wrong or right
Ah, but sometimes chances
Take us by surprise
Yeah, sometimes chances
Take us by surprise

The full list and related stories appear in the Feb. 4 issue of FORTUNE and now at www.fortune.com/bestcompanies. Currently, Edward Jones has nearly 4,630 positions available throughout the country, mostly for financial advisor and branch office administrator. Each Edward Jones branch office includes one financial advisor and one branch office administrator who work one-on-one with clients in the communities where those clients live. To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.

Getting health coverage Monday was a major headache for some, as websites for the Affordable Care Act buckled under the weight of hundreds of thousands of people registering. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
Signing up for health insurance means that Monica Barnes can finally see a doctor.
Barnes: I don't visit because of the money.Robin: And now?Barnes: I'll feel much better vising now.
However, as her health is poised to improve, the health of the website giving her coverage took a turn for the worse. New York State's site had a case of the hiccups, and the federal exchange shut down entirely for several hours Monday. It recuperated by midday.
As long as you begin signing up Monday, you're not penalized.
"As you can see by the lines around the country this weekend, we are seeing a surge in enrollment," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. "More than 6 million people have signed up."
That includes many in New York, in person at Bellevue Hospital and over the phone. "We're seeing a rush of people calling and trying to make the deadline and get health insurance," said Shaleem Thompson of 311.
The Affordable Care Act remains a remarkably resilient political lightning rod. The president signed it into law a little bit more than four years ago. Now, opposition to it could strip Democrats of their control in the U.S. Senate.
You don't need to convince Monica Barnes. She got a clean bill, with the process taking only about 15 minutes longer than normal.
"I'll be able to visit every time I have a doctor's visit," she said. "I won't be afraid not to come out."
Her insurance starts May 1.

Like a fresh egg, Kate's backyard hobby could land her in the frying pan. Under her town's zoning ordinance, keeping live chickens is prohibited — and Kate, an otherwise law-abiding citizen, has a half-dozen hens living in a coop behind her home. "They're so pretty. They look like toddlers wearing rumba pants."
So far, town officials haven't uncovered her secret. "They've never come snooping around. God forbid, it would be awful to relocate them," says Kate, who asked to be identified only by her first name. She, her husband and their 12-year-old daughter, Kiki, consider their chickens pets, a roster that includes Mimsy, Mandi, Henny-Penny and Hermesia.
"My husband hooked up three video monitors near the coop," says Kate. "We have our cup of coffee in the morning, and we turn on 'the chicken channel' and watch the hens emerge from the hen house."
But one person's pet is another's person's poultry.
Many Connecticut towns, including Hartford, West Hartford and Middletown, consider poultry to be livestock and prohibit residents from keeping fowl. Authorities say noise and health concerns over trumpeting roosters and unfettered chickens combing city streets justify keeping such restrictions in place.
But zoning and health code bans haven't squelched the backyard chicken movement. The resurgence has hatched dozens of websites, a national magazine — Backyard Poultry — and leagues of chicken fanciers who enjoy poultry in motion and gush about their "girls," including the South Connecticut/Westchester Backyard Poultry group, which has more than 100 members.
Statewide, the number of households who've opted to try their hand at raising backyard chickens, legally or illegally, has soared in the last two years, says Michael J. Darre, professor of animal science at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Darre's two-hour seminars on tending chickens have proved increasingly popular, playing to packed houses throughout New England and Connecticut, and drawing enthusiasts and skeptics alike.
Credit the heightened interest to the nutritional resurrection of the egg, the "locavore" movement, the clamor for fresh eggs, and parents who want their children to better understand where food comes from, Darre says.
The egg — one per day is fine, according to most nutritionists — is the protein source by which all other proteins are compared, says Darre. "It's got everything except vitamin C."
"It's probably going to cost you more to own the bird and take care of it than to go and buy a dozen eggs," Darre says.
But for Kate's family, the sense of self-sufficiency associated with keeping a passel of hens is priceless. "It's knowing if the world stops grinding tomorrow, and we couldn't go shopping at Stop & Shop, we could feed ourselves," she says.
Darre estimates the population of backyard chickens in the state at "several thousand." As more municipalities rescind their laws, the number of chicken fanciers and their flocks has grown. Last year, New Haven lifted its ban and now allows residents to keep up to five hens, "but no roosters because of the noise," Darre says. But not to worry; hens will lay eggs even if there's no rooster around.
There's also been a rise in the number of 4-H youths raising poultry.
Nationally, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and Baltimore are among the cities that have embraced the urban chicken, while Boston, Providence, Albany and several towns throughout Connecticut have not.
Cooing And Purring
Kate, by necessity, keeps her chickens on the sly. But just a few miles away, John and Jennifer Aldieri are on the right side of the law, despite having eight laying hens. Their backyard flock lives openly in a sleek, vinyl-top coop outside their home in Southington, where it's legal for residents keep up to a dozen hens.
Jennifer Aldieri can reel off the reasons why chickens aren't appropriate city dwellers. She was of the opinion that chickens were "dirty, smelly and noisy."
For years, she said no to her husband's request to keep a couple of chickens. Eventually she relented. "He wore me down," she says, and he and their two children bought three chicks for about $15.

Mar. 3—Medicare auditors were ordered to re-review any "probe and educate" audits that led them to reject hospitals' claims during the phased-in enforcement of Medicare's two-midnight rule.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced it will require Medicare administrative contractors (MACs) to re-review all claims denied since Oct. 1, 2013, under the probe-and-educate process, which allowed review of a limited number of claims and was instituted to begin enforcement of the two-midnight admissions rule. Full enforcement of the two-midnight rule, which requires physician certification that a patient's condition required hospitalization for at least two midnights to qualify for Medicare Part A payment, was delayed until Oct. 1, 2014.
The re-reviews were intended to ensure that the decisions and subsequent education were consistent with the agency's clarifications regarding the two-midnight rule on Jan. 30.
If the re-review determines that the previously rejected claim is payable, then the MAC may reverse its decision and issue payment outside of the appeals process.
The agency urged hospitals to check whether rejected claims have undergone re-review before appealing the rejection. CMS also sought to limit the impact of the re-review process on hospitals' appeal rights by waiving the 120-day limit on redetermination requests for any probe-and-educate denials that occurred before Jan. 30, 2014, and filed before Sept. 30, 2014.
Claim denials affirmed under re-review will automatically be transferred into the appeals process, according to CMS.
The agency also released initial data on the inpatient hospital probe and educate reviews and examples of common denials that occurred.

A really superb example of how a grassroots activist-orientated charity and organisation should be run. Minimal paid staff and large numbers of passionate and extremely dedicated and loyal unpaid volunteers both on land and as crews aboard their ocean going fleet of 3 conservation ships. No mass mailing or paid street collections from Sea Shepherd - this group has grown exponentially by reputation and by delivering actual results for marine wildlife worldwide.
More feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

The sound of honking car horns is typically not a welcomed noise. It's a harbinger of traffic and congestion.
But in Howard Beach a busy Cross Bay Boulevard is a thriving Cross Bay Boulevard, even as the commercial strip struggles in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Nearly all of the businesses along the boulevard are open. Some, such as Vincent's Clam Bar, only recently. A year ago, almost every business on Cross Bay Boulevard in Howard Beach suffered some damage in the storm surge.
For several weeks, the entire boulevard was shut down with just a few businesses opening. Gradually through the winter, the strip came to life.
"It's almost like Sandy never happened," said shopper Joann Bosco as she left lunch at Cross Bay Diner, the popular boulevard eatery right on Shellbank Basin that reopened in May — six and a half months after the storm. Though the main dining floor did not flood, the basement did and the diner underwent a major renovation.
For an outside observer that may be true, but the amount of work that was put into most of the boulevard's businesses range from cosmetic fixes to, in cases like the diner, complete renovations.
Fazio Dance Center's location at 164-48 Cross Bay Blvd. is close to the hardest hit part of the boulevard, near the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge. The studio's owner, Julie Fazio, told the Queens Chroncle in August the center lost everything in the storm, but it reopened for business on Dec. 1 with little more than music and a floor.
"That was a big challenge," Fazio explained. "We got back on our feet. Everyone had to step it up."
A few doors down from Fazio, New York Families for Autistic Children was due to open its new headquarters last November, then came Sandy. The new building flooded badly and the official opening was postponed until April.
The CVS store under Gold's Gym at Cross Bay Boulevard and 157th Avenue was decimated in the storm and had to be completely gutted.
The 7-Eleven store still has not reopened its store on Cross Bay and Duane Reade pulled out of its property at 163-20 Cross Bay Blvd. Key Food is slated to open a store at the site. A former flooring outlet at the corner of 165th Avenue and Cross Bay Boulevard remains vacant.
But many Howard Beach staples, like Sapienza's Deli and Cross Bay Travel, were able to get back to business fairly quickly — within a month or two.
Sapienza's, located at 164-26 Cross Bay Blvd., lost all of its kitchen equipment while the Cross Bay Travel office at 158-20A Cross Bay Blvd. was damaged and needed new floors. Both businesses reopened once power was restored to the neighborhood, several weeks after the hurricane.

damn, that was close
Unlucky mate. nearly had it.
damn, that was close
haha 7-0...almost as good as Germany's spanking of Saudi Arabia 8-0. lol. What a finish though!
I was going to put federer to win in 3 straight sets as well.. haha glad I couldnt figure out how to do it!!
Just wish England would have the same determination to prove a point.
Right next set of matches I have:
Switzerland v Chile - Switzerland to win 2-0 @ 16/1
Spain v Honduras - David Villa to score the opener and Spain to win 5-0 @ 30/1
how do you do the accumulator bets on there? I haven't quite worked it out; the singles/doubles thing confused me on the multibets...
Spain to win 3 4 or 5 nil (£3 total)
£6.45 totals my winnings on today's games betting, unfortunately a few quid down but hey ho they were all £1 bets so not too bad I guess, as you say you win some you loose some.
Hope my Tennis and F1 bets do better when they come through.
What tips have you got for tomorrow good sir?
Just seen this on frontpage by DB
What sort of odds can we get on this happening?We shall also have a live webcam on the stand (we'll take the Mobotix once I get it reconfigured)

That's funny, because i was thinking the exact same thing about you just now. I mean, since basically everything you said was an attack against a single target, it's pretty obvious you think there are some bad guys and you know who they are.You certainly have little to no knowledge about geopolitics since you think in terms of "the good guys and the bad guys".
Nobody's perfect, and everyone has made mistakes. Particularly if you go back just 50 years, you can drag anybody's name into the mud.
Err, where in the world did you ever get that idea? I'm pretty sure the people who did that would acknowledge it was one of the worst things they ever did. Anyway, like they say - one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. It's all relative.How about Clinton acknowledging creating/funding Al-Qaeda? When the USA creates a terrorist group it's ok?
How come people always respond to criticism of something they like with criticism of things that happened way before they were even born?And speaking of history - slavery and racism is the history of the USA, and of course genocide - it killed all the indians and those who survived are put in concentration camps - reservations. How about Britain waging war with China to sell drugs "the opium wars"?
Probably because fewer farmers were getting their heads cut off by the Taliban, and poppy is the most lucrative thing they can grow. Wait, i thought the US was supposed to be the bad guys in Afghanistan, that can't be right. Ok, maybe it's because the US secretly decided to start selling drugs there to addict everyone in the middle east. That makes sense, right?How come since the USA invaded Afghanistan heroin production skyrocketed to 90% of world's supply?
Do you really believe China isn't close to any places like that? They're huge in Africa, like the US is in the middle east. For the same reasons, too - it's all about natural resources.How about being friends with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait (big USA military base) where it's ok to stone someone to death or cut the head off with the sword?
That's a complicated subject, but it's always argued that the atom bombs ended up saving lives, because the alternative would have been a full scale land invasion where millions of Japanese would have suffered and died. Instead, the bombs made it clear immediately how hopeless things were and led to a quicker surrender. But obviously, any kind of mass death like that isn't something that people approve of these days. Back then, though, bombing civilians was pretty much acceptable behaviour. Everyone did it in WW2, from Britain, France, to Germany, Japan, and everyone else who had planes and bombs.The USA is also the only country who parched hundreds of thousands of people (Japan) with atom bombs
but I am personnally not and very happy to work with a framework like Qt that abstracts everything for every platform.Code:#ifdef WIN32 ...windows socket code #endif #ifdef LINUX ...linux socket code #endif
It's like someone baked an elaborate cake, and then spilled motor oil on it. At that point, do you care if the cake had to much baking powder?

Now to address the geopolitics issue - when I say something about the USA or China I don't mean the people since the masses are never well informed and critically thinking so most of them follow whatever they're indoctrinated with, if they're told cavemen from Afghanistan are a threat to the USA they're like "alright, whatever it takes". The biggest mass killer in the world is the USA for now ("USA" not to be confused with the USA people, 90% of them don't even know where is Afghanistan, again, as stupid as the masses in other countries), when/if some other country becomes the strongest one - it will start being the biggest bully and biggest hypocrite and most of its people won't know that either, that's the law of geopolitics - the government forming the opinion and social consent is a critical task to be able wage such a foreign policy, which means when/if China becomes No1 in the world its masses will be indoctrinated with excuses of why it's ok to invade other countries etc.

I agree, however, that democracy has nothing to do with the way the nation behaves, since it's just the way they decide how to behave, not the decision itself.
On the phone, I hope ANY phone running Wayland comes eventually to my country. I might as well give a rest to my old Nokia 1100.
I don't know what the hell this phone can do (that a dozen other phones don't do) that is more important to you than comfort. Maybe you could explain it to me with your superb problem solving skills.

Can Probiotics Help Clear up Acne?
New research is showing that both topical and digestive daily Probiotics could be beneficial for all sorts of skin issues from Acne to Eczema, along with traditional acne therapy of course.
Though some doctors admit that they would like to see more test and case studies of what types of Probiotics work best and what frequency they should be taken.
As always consult with your dermatologist or Doctor to see what treatment is right for you and your body.
Hope you found this helpful, and be sure you watch the video because this makes since to me, since your Gut and the balance of good and bad bacteria make up almost all of your immune system. See the full article here…

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Volcano Corporation (NASDAQ: VOLC), a leading developer and manufacturer of precision intravascular diagnosis and therapy guidance tools designed to enhance the treatment of coronary and peripheral artery disease, said today that revenues for the third quarter of 2011 increased 18 percent versus the third quarter of 2010.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, Volcano reported revenues of $85.8 million versus revenues of $72.9 million in the third quarter a year ago. Year-over-year medical segment revenues increased 24 percent in the third quarter of 2011. Industrial segment revenues in the third quarter declined 54 percent versus a year ago, due to reduced spending in the telecommunications sector.
The company reported net income on a GAAP basis of $2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011, versus net income of $5.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.
For the first nine months of 2011, Volcano reported revenues of $250.8 million, an 18 percent increase over revenues of $212.9 million in the same period a year ago. The company reported GAAP net income of $8.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2011. This compares with GAAP net income of $7.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same period in 2010.
"Volcano's medical segment business experienced solid growth in the third quarter, driven by a 48 percent increase in FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) disposable revenues, as FFR continued its higher market penetration and we continued to gain market share for both our FFR and IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) businesses in key geographies. These gains occurred despite a challenging macro-economic environment that is impacting procedure activity, particularly for our IVUS business," said Scott Huennekens, president and chief ex

Everything else!
The water in the tub would not drain!!! How unsanitary and it was awful taking a shower in my own standing water.
there were ants in the bathroom.
Very clean, friendly and professional staff, and the location is convenient.
The exterior of the building could use fresh paint.
Wish they had offered a shuttle to the concert at UCB. I have had this service at other hotels and it is sure nice.
Reasonable price for this area. Okay breakfast and coffee. Clean. Comfortable bed and room. Fresh decor. Wifi works. Parking on premises.
Comfort of room, location, friendlyy staff
Breakfast - chaotic and unappetising
Bad custume service to
The room was large, clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable.
The lobby area could use some renovations.
Pool was very nice
Not very clean. One day our room wasn't clean at all. Breakfast was poor. 2 stars at most.
good beds
breakfast finishes before deadline, woman not very nice
Easy to find
30 minutes for Bart line
The staff were great. They were friendly and helpful. The room was clean but it needs updating and refurbishing. The comforter had a couple small stains on it, and the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable.
The elevator was old and frightening. It was slow and small and I refused to use it again after the first time. I was sure I would get stuck in it. My husband used it and didn't have a problem.
The neibourhood was ok. If you come as a tourist to see San Francisco, you need to have a car cause It's to long to go downtown by buses and train. The staff at the reception were nice.
The room was to small for 3 adults. Room service was lacking. The room was dirty when we arrived (they changed us room), they didn't clean our room one day and on the day of check out, they knocked at our door at 9am to see if we were still there. The room was not really clean.
Proximity to UC Berkeley was a huge plus. The pool and fitness rooms were great! Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the older gentleman at check in. He was very polite. Breakfast also very good. Great value
Parking was tight
The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful
The staff in the hotel
The facility is just fair
everything was good ...except
except 1st day refusal to check in inspite of booking n staff on 16th night was horrible. compensation was not worth ..
The room was very clean and the beds were super comfy. When we had car trouble during our visit, front desk staff allowed a late check-out without extra fees. Most of the front desk staff was courteous and helpful. The woman who coordinated the breakfast room was also very friendly.
The room had a funny smell and the doors were terribly sticky (one had to push/pull quite hard to open our close both the room and the bathroom doors). Most front staff was friendly and courteous, but we were very unhappy with the housekeeping staff. The second morning we were there, housekeeping keyed into the room when we getting ready to go out for the day. Though they did knock first, it seemed pushy. The last morning we were there, they keyed into the room while I was in the bathroom and my son was still asleep! It was 8:30 in the morning! They also burst in a second time that morning, I think to check for linens. I finally put the do not disturb sign out. We had to get towels from the front desk one of the days we were there as housekeeping did not leave any at all. The breakfast was okay, but they were often out of food items such as toast and once, there was mold on the bread!
room size is spacious, The bed is comfortable. Breakfast is good. Free parking.
The drainage of bathtub is broken.
There was no in house room service,. There was no jacuzzi by pool , the pool was cold.
Location to UC campus
See above
Pleasant people, good location, good value, clean, really comfortable King sized beds, plenty of pillows, free breakfast.
The friendliness and efficiency of the staff - especially at breakfast. Room was clean and well equipped with both a fridge and microwave. Easy to find - just off the highway.
It is located too far from San Francisco. Public transport ( BART ) is a long walk from this hotel.
My family stayed 8 days our experience was very good. The staff very friendly. We loved the woman who made waffles in the morning, continental breakfast was good with lots to choose from very good coffee every day. The building is older but clean. Its close to freeway and the BART, and the Marina is just down the street it has great park for the kids. Overall we had a great stay.
The pool was cold, we could only swim after the sun heat it up to a tolerable temperature. We were able to swim almost daily.

well, i was there, but the club decided not to show up at its own range for 4 weeks straight. they must be fair weather shooters afraid to get thier gouchi shoes wet!
finally met some people at torrington.
they have odd shooting hours.
starting april, they shoot on wednesdays 4 to 8.
then, around easter, they shoot on tuesdays and wednesdays until around late sept. then, they only shoot on sundays 9 till noon.
they are closed from around thanksgiving for all of winter until april again.
strange thing is, they built a clubhouse but what for? no one needs it since they dont shoot when its cold and the club is bare bones with nothing in it. its more like a shed.
anyway...if ya like quiet skeet...torrington is the place to be.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8 G is a fast wide-angle lens designed for use on Nikon's FX format (full-frame) DSLRs. It uses two aspherical elements in its 11 element / 9 group construction, along with Nano Crystal Coat to combat flare and ghosting. It can also be used on DX format cameras, giving a 42mm-equivalent 'normal' angle of view. Its fast maximum aperture of F1.8 make this lens useful in poor light and 'wide open' it is possible to achieve good subject/background separation at close focusing distances.

Amazing Gem of a lens
I've always seem to love a 35mm with an 85mm on me to walk the streets while on holiday. I find I can do most anything with one on the camera and one in my pocket or belt pouch. Since the early 1960s I've always owned and loved the 35mm length. I still have the first auto Takumar I ever purchased used as a sub teen from lawn mowing money. A couple of months ago, I was buying a new camera for a friend and was looking over the shelves considering Nikon's 35 f/1.4, wondering if I should spend so ...
A very nice lens!
I've never been a big fan of normal to wides. Nothing against, just didn't particularly appeal to me. I thought it a bit of a necessary evil for indoor low light shooting in situations where a flash wouldn't be appropriate. I debated between the Sigma 35 1.4 and the Nikon 28 1.8g. I thought the 28 was a focal length better suited to me, but check out the specs and tests on the Sigma! I was leaning towards the Sigma, but decided to rent the Nikkor for a week. Well, fair to say I am now a fan ...
Good Performance
I was in search of a short lens, because I was often disapointed: The quality of data shot with wide angles on FX is often poor. It gets poorer and poorer if you need higher mpix or greater prints. I always use primes. So my dealer gave me one Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G for a test. If I would klike it, I could keep it. – And I didn't gave back: Shure – 28mm gives you not too much space, but the pics have a lot of sharpness, bright contrast and lots of details.
Questions & Answers
New Prime or Smaller Second Body for Walk Around and Travel
Hello all. I posted this in another forum but I realized it belongs here. I decided to rent the Nikon 24mm f1.4G and the 35mm f1.4G to see which I would prefer for a wide to semi wide prime to use on my D800E. Deciding which one I want more is another discussion in itself (honestly I like them both for their merits). Anyway, for the price of either of these I could invest in a second smaller body, like the Fuji X-T1 with a somewhat equivalent field of view lens. It would cost more to go this route but I'm truly getting a more walk around camera and lens. My fiancé recently got an Olympus OMD EM1 and she loves it. It has great ergonomics but I haven't played around with it enough to know if it's for me. Here's the hardest part for me: I love my D800E. So I'm biased towards a prime as mentioned above. I haven't checked out the 28mm f1.8G but I don't have any 1.4 lenses so part of this exercise was to see what 1.4 is like. I do like the 24mm over the 35mm but I think the 35mm is a more ...
i wouldnt buy into a new system just yet. the 24G is one lens that i just love love and that would be my suggestion is go for it the 24. its really versatile in a sense that it is the true story teller of a lens. and it can almost be used macro-like since its MFD is just inches. you can wait for the sig 24A if you wish...but from what ive seen the Sig A series lenses have a very sterile rendering to them. not a bad thing but i came to realize how much nicer i like the overall colors and rendition of the nikon originals. Continue Reading
OP: I have faced your same dilemma several times in the past months. Here is a test for you. When you look at the photos from your D800E in, say, Lightroom, do you automatically zoom to 100% to marvel at the resolution? I know I do, with my D800. If that is the case you will never be completely satisfied with a lessor resolution sensor again. Don't kid yourself. I love the Fuji. Had an XPro 1 and the three primes. Yes, it was small and light, but you still have to mess with changing lenses, etc. If I were to get a small carry around camera, it would be the GR. However, I would take it out and regret that I did not have my D800 with me! (I have access to my wife's Sony RX100, and have never tried it.) I have both the 24mm and the 35mm. My advice is to go with the 24mm. It is much more versatile, and plays well with a 24/50/85 or 100 kit. The 35mm, also a stellar lens, is best used when you want to go out with one lens only, or maybe the 35/85 twosome... Continue Reading
It'll fit into your pants pocket (literally; that's not just marketing hype), it's a 28mm equivalent, and the 16.2 mm APS-C sensor provides outstanding images. And I'm pretty sure you can pick one up for well south of the price of a 28 1.8g. Continue Reading
Street Photography and Landscape Prime
I bought a D610 not long ago and my goal is to have a nice small set of primes—as in two or three—because I like how my creativity works, when I'm limited like that. I'm planning on buying the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G, I already have the 50mm f/1.8G, but I plan to sell it, and now I need to be sure about what my second lens will be. So far I'm torn between two lenses: the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art and the Nikon 28mm f/1.8G . The Nikon is cheaper, the Sigma is sharper wide open, the Sigma also handles vignetting better, the Nikon is that little bit wider, which might make the difference for landscape photographs, the Sigma is heavier but better built, and so on... I've read too much technical information about each lens. I could really use some personal experiences and opinions about the lenses. Have I overlooked some key difference?
I absolutely love, LOVE my 28 1.8G. I think it is a superb all-round wide angle with a unique image signature. Really nice crisp detail for landscapes, and up close it has a definite 3D look (cliche I know but it's there!) and smooth bokeh. I've never had any problems with field curvature shooting landscapes with it. The curvature is there if you look for it (I did some tests), but in normal use it has never caused me to lose a shot or even been at all noticeable. I therefore don't agree that it requires you to work at it to get used to the field curvature, such as it is. I had the Sigma for a while - it is definitely noticeably sharper at close range. For landscapes it was closer to a draw. It has a different look, more literal, less romantic. Continue Reading
To the OP: I think 28 is more of a landscape lens than 35, given contemporary aesthetics and the fact you can crop down and still have many megapixels in the image. Why would you sell the 50? You won't get much for it and, on FF IMO it is incomparably versatile. Since the Sigma is more expensive, you won't need cash from the 50 if you buy the 28. I shot film for decades with a 28 and 85 high speed pair OR just went out with the 50. Worked great for my approach. Continue Reading
The Nikon 28 has a stronger field curvature signature, something you have to get used to and learn to handle. The Sigma feels like a sturdier, higher quality lens - though isn't weather-sealed either. For landscapes its fairly equal, if you get to know the 28 really well you can get great results with possibly slightly higher sharpness at long range, the Sigma is very good at landscape range, but truly phenomenal at closer range - silly sharp - which may or may not help for street, depending on how you like to shoot. The Sigma handles flare less well than the Nikon. For an all-rounder I think the Sigma is better, I have some great sharp landscapes shot with it, and whilst I may pick up a Zeiss 21 2.8 distagon for the wider angles and microcontrast, the Sigma has been stellar so far.

Wide Angle debate; Nikon 28mm f/1.4, 16-35mm f/4, or 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5??
I've just recently purchased my first full-frame camera, the Nikon D610, and I am in love. I made this fairly large purchase in anticipation of my summer trip to Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Bryce & Zion in Utah, and the Grand Canyon. I'm looking to shoot some incredible landscapes and do some startrails/milky way photos. My debate is that my best friend has the 28, and he rarely ever takes that off of his camera. I'm sort of looking for a really good all-around lens, but I'm not particularly looking at a zoom lens. This purchase is about getting the best lens I can for this once in a lifetime trip, but money is still an object and the 16-35mm would be the most I could spend on a lens. I've spent a whole lot of time looking at reviews and sample images from all of these lenses but I'd really like to hear what other people have to say! So, which do you see as best and why? Nikon 28mm f/1.4, 16-35mm f/4, or 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5? Thank you guys so much for your time and input! :)
I have not shot with either the 28 or the 18-35. However, I do have the 16-35 and it is an excellent zoom for landscape shooting. It is especially sharp and at it's best in the 20-20mm range which is where I shoot most landscapes at. I also use it for interiors when travelling, like inside churches and castles etc, and using it all the way down to 16mm where it does have distortion but is easily correctable in post process. VR is also very handy in low light inside buildings and at night. I have never had an image ruined due to not being able to correct distortion. The lens is actually very good in the sub 20mm area especially stopped down. Once you stop the lens down to f5.6 and further, the lens really starts to shine and at f8 and f11 it really is a wonderful landscape lens. Let's face it, f8-f11 is where you will be mostly using it. I also have the 14-24 and whilst it is a legendary lens and is worthy of that monicker, I prefer to take the 16-35 on my travels due to it's longer ... Continue Reading
Given the subject matter you intend to be shooting plus what you already own, I'd pick the 18-35/3.5-4.5G - but don't use it beyond 28mm - let your 24-85 handle that focal length. Reason for this is that for a lot of the places you're going, when you want wide, you'll want something that performs really well in the 18-24mm range, and that's where I feel the 18-35 is the best of the lot. I like the 28/1.8G prime a lot, but it wouldn't be my first choice due to focal length relative to what you're going to be likely shooting. Remember also that for landscape work you'll be stopped down a bit anyway, which narrows the quality differences between the lenses a bit. -m Continue Reading
The 28mm prime will be the sharpest followed by the 18-35m f3.5G lens followed by the 16-35mm f4 lens. The 16-35mm provides the widest picture angle at 107 degrees, or 7 degrees more than the 18-35mm if that is important. Continue Reading

They could be a serious threat to the US. Right now they are doing what they want and trying to become powerful. They are a nasty group and won't be afraid to attack the US. We have US military over their and they won't be afraid to kill them. They could eventually become a huge in military, economics, and political power. They need to be stopped so they don't go after other countries including the US.
I think the US should go over and fight against the ISIS. If you get enough people to fight against the ISIS they will be stopped and not able to expand anymore. This country is a serious threat to other countries so someone needs to step in and stop the ISIS before they do too much damage.
