The 60mm macro lens is an absolutely fantastic and sharp lens - but I can't see using this lens much hand-held - especially at close focus (which I usually do between 1-4" for small subjects). In 4k, the lens is equivalent to ~83mm on a APS-C sensor, 138mm on FF - hardly a fish portrait lens. That being said, I can't really see using any macro setup much without a tripod or some sort of stabilization to get decent video. Neither OIS nor IB stablization is likely to eliminate that need. I'm just starting to use this lens more, and although it can be challenging, especially in surgy conditions, I'm loving the video I'm getting from it!

Ogio Fan
This is my third Ogio Golf bag, so I am a fan. I needed a light bag, which this offers, just a couple of things that I miss that my previous bag had, water proof pocket and a 3 ball holder. Other than that it is a nice bag. If you walk and need a stand bag you will like this bag.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. The nephroprotective effect of co-administration of vitamin C and losartan as prophylaxis against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) was evaluated. Materials and Methods. Co-administration of vitamin C and losartan was compared with losartan (10 mg/kg), vitamin C (250 mg/kg), and placebo in 4 groups of rats with CIN. The prophylactic agents were injected daily for a period of 4 days, and on day 3, a single dose (6 mg/kg) of cisplatin was administrated. The animals were sacrificed 7 days later for pathological examination of the kidneys. Results. Cisplatin prevented the animals' weight gain. The serum levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen increased within the groups with CIN, but no significant difference was observed between the groups. The prophylaxis has no effect on serum osmolality, total protein, or nitrite concentrations. The kidney tissue damage was scored, and losartan provided a lower damage score than vitamin C and a combination of vitamin C and losartan. Conclusions. We concluded that co-administration of vitamin C and losartan was not more effective than the administration of vitamin C or losartan alone.Iranian journal of kidney diseases 09/2012; 6(5):361-5. · 0.94 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II; CDDP) is used widely as an antitumor drug in clinics, but is accompanied with renal toxicity. The present study was designed to compare the effect of losartan and vitamin E as prophylaxes against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity. Thirty-two Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: group 1 receiving losartan 10 mg/kg; group 2, vitamin E in almond oil 1 g/kg; group 3, combination of group 1 and 2 regimens; group 4, almond oil; and group 5, negative control group. All groups were treated for a 4-day period, but at day 3, groups 1-4 received a single dose (6 mg/kg) of CDDP. The animals were sacrificed 1 week after CDDP administration. Animals' weight did not change significantly, but increasing blood urea nitrogen and malondialdehyde levels were observed statistically in all CDDP-treated animals. No detectable change was observed in nitrite level, but serum osmolality in groups 1, 2 and 4 was different from that for group 5 (p<0.05). Kidney damage scoring showed no significant difference between group 2 and the negative control group (group 2: 1.0 ± 0.24; group 5: 0.40 ± 0.10; p>0.05) but a statistically significant difference from the positive control group (p<0.05). The tubular damage score of group 1 also was not statistically significantly different from that of the negative control group. Although vitamin E or losartan as prophylaxes demonstrated some protective effects, the combination of losartan and vitamin E did not protect against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity, for unknown reasons which may relate to pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug interactions.Journal of nephrology 09/2011; 25(3):410-7. · 2.00 Impact Factor

You have a bulb out. Just change all the bulbs on the side that is flashing fast.Hello!
So I have a Ford Focus 1999 T-Reg.
When I indicate, on one side it goes "click. . . . click. . . . click. . . .click" but then on the other it goes "click click click click", kinda twice as fast. Sorry, I know that is fairly lame, but you will (surely?) know what I mean. The question is, what causes it?
I have read (on another forum) that it means one of the bulbs have gone. That is fair enough, I just hope it is the front one However, further down the post it says perhaps a fuse is blown? I haven't investigated very much as I have had a lot of work on recently, but when I put on my warning lights, it flashes as normal, so it only faults when indicating.
Is there something I can check and fix rather than taking it in to the garage?
Posted 01 December 2008 - 18:50
Posted 01 December 2008 - 21:07
Is it really?Like jeavis stated, one of your indicator bulbs is out. This is a feature designed to advise you of a fault in the system. Just check which one it is and change it out yourself. You should be able to find the 'bulb change' section in the manual and follow along. Takes less than 5 mins to replace.
This only works when you use the indicators and will behave normally when the hazard lights are used.
Posted 01 December 2008 - 21:55
Is it really?
This happened on our shitold Yugo and pretty sure is has no such features
We thought it happened due to the power being allocated too much on one side since the other side was dead..

The bill now goes to the full House Oversight and Governmental Reforms Committee.

Santa Cruz Indymedia | Global Justice and Anti-Capitalism | Labor & WorkersOccupy National Day of Action - Union Members Rally at Courthouse with OSC
Local SEIU members participating in the Occupy Day of Action demonstrations scheduled around the country, joined members of Occupy Santa Cruz and members of the local MoveOn.org council to rally at the Santa Cruz County courthouse on November 17 in support of job creation. occupy-day-of-action-1.jpg The demonstration began on Water Street Bridge where community members held signs along the pedestrian areas of the bridge. The group made its way over to the front steps of the county courthouse where a rally was held and short speeches were made, including those from a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate who is currently between homes, a representative from the office of assembly member Bill Monning, members of the Service Employee International Union (SEIU), the local MoveOn.org council, and a member of Occupy Santa Cruz. Approximately 100-200 people participated in the event, and afterwards a large part of the group attended Occupy Santa Cruz's general assembly.

I appreciate both Matt and Alex doing this visually important work. I comment at http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/11/18/18700069.php
Additionally... In numerous other cities, union members and others blocked bridges on Thursday--a sort of recurring theme about the misappropriation of money because of the influence and operation of institutionalized wealth. Any attempt made to do that here? Also, I note the elimination of the chalked messages made by protesters denouncing the arrests and theft of protest signs (some of them perhaps returned on Thursday from the Monday raid?). These slogans starkly and strongly demonstrated the determination of those maintaining the vigil not to be bullied away. The steps of the courthouse entrance each had visible chalked messages--and the front of the courthouse itself was plastered defiantly with posters. Were they removed by the County or by the protesters themselves? Or by "helpful" politicians and their allies, eager to make some political hay from the sacrifices of others? But unwilling to actually use their political clout to oppose the ongoing repression. Were the speeches recorded? Did they make any mention of the nightly mayhem created earlier in the week by Sheriff Wowak's armed and city-funded warriors? Did Monning or his representative perhaps repudiate his vote supporting an doubling in penalties for the "crime" of "lodging"--which he helped pass earlier this year? This law (647e) is already used to terrorize protesters and puts activist Linda Lemaster on trial in December for the smaller sustained PeaceCamp2010 protest last year. That protest focused on one of the very issues for which the protesters are being attacked--"criminalizing camping for the poor". Did attorney Ed Frey get to speak? What was the substance of the OSC speaker's comments?
( alex [at] alexdarocy.com )
Saturday Nov 19th, 2011 9:36 AM
I'll answer some of your questions from the other article as well.
-One non-OSC speaker spoke at the rally about the ongoing raids by the authorities at the courthouse on Occupy Santa Cruz and how that area is everyone's and should be available for public use -I seem to recall one demonstrator carrying a sign with a local-specific message, but I don't have a photo of it. -I counted at least three demonstrators carrying signs supporting the national occupy movement with general messages -Water Street Bridge was spoken about at the rally, but no one ever made an attempt to occupy it or block traffic. The event was supplied with 'monitors,' presumably by the organizers. -One speaker mentioned the poor condition county roads were in, and proposed repairing them to stimulate job creation -The UCSC student who spoke recently graduated with a degree in sociology and spoke about how there used to be a lot of job openings in that field. He was jobless and living out of his car. -I did not record the speeches
Sunday Nov 20th, 2011 12:16 AM
...for the additional information.
I was also advised that the rally took place at the main entrance to the Courthouse and not at the Occupy Santa Cruz steps where the General Assembly is held nightly facing Water Street. Why? Are Move-On.org and local union leaders too nervous to associate themselves directly with those who have taken the brunt of county punishment? Whose nightly sacrifices give courage and hope to those previously too isolated or beaten down or cynical to speak up? Carry on, OSC! Thanks for the info--wordwise and picturewise, Alex. |

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
My name is Ms. Janet and I am here to help. I'm an experienced,dedicated and patient retired elementary teacher.
I now tutor students for remedial and enrichment learning. I have over twenty years of successful teaching with an emphasis on teaching 1st through 4th grade reading, phonics, spelling, writing and vocabulary and math. I have acquired the ability to recognize and address the different learning styles of students. I am experienced in implementing curriculum and assessments to meet each student's needs.
I currently substitute teach, work in the children's ministry, volunteer at an elementary school and I am listed on two school district's tutoring lists.
I have a passion for teaching. I'm here to help.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am very qualified to tutor students in grades k-6th.
I have a teaching degree in Elementary Education (K-8th grade) from Chicago State University. I successfully taught elementary students more than twenty years(prior to retirement) I am currently a substitute elementary teacher for the Irving Texas School District.
I taught phonics to students in grades kdg.-4th as one of their main reading components for over twenty years in the Chicago Public School System. I am presently tutoring phonics at one of the country's top tutoring centers located in Coppell Texas. I am a very efficient and experienced teacher/tutor.
I am qualified to teach/tutor reading due to my over twenty years experience as a successful classroom teacher and tutor. I am experienced in instructing, modeling, modifying, assessing and evaluating each student's reading performance.
I am qualified to teach "Study Skills" because I have been a teacher for over twenty years. Teaching good study skills has always been a part of my curriculum.
I realize that good study habits are important for success in school. Knowing how to study effectively fosters feelings of competence, develops positive attitudes, and helps children realize they can control how well they do in school and in life. Good study habits also lay the groundwork for successful work habits as an adult.
I know that learning styles vary from child to child. Children need to discover how they learn best. I am well able to work out a study system that will fit their learning style and promote success.
Standard Hourly Fee: $40.00
Cancellation: 10 hours notice required
Janet will travel within 7 miles of Irving, TX 75038.

Know how to use "fewer" and "less"? Find out.
1766, originally a noun, "knick-knacks, trifles, odds and ends," from rattle (adj.) + trap, perhaps in the sense in traps (n.2). Hence, "a shabby, rattling object," especially a rickety coach or other vehicle (1822). The adjectival sense of "rickety" is recorded from 1834.
A ramshackle coach or other vehicle, esp an old car (1822+)

Arrow: The Complete First Season hit stores this past Tuesday, and with Season 2 premiering in just a few weeks (October 9!) we figured it was the perfect time to start leisurely re-watching the entire first season in preparation. Paced out, we'd be able to watch an episode a day, starting with the day of release and ending on the exact day of the premiere. It was the perfect plan.
Welcome to What's New in The New 52 – where you, the fans, get a sneak peek at the stuff that crosses our desks. This little feature is a way to keep you all in the loop about what's new, different and exciting in The New 52 – whether it's a character design, cover, splash page or panel.
It's time for another edition of Caption This!, the monthly game from DC Collectibles where we give you the picture, and you give us the (hopefully far less than a thousand) words.
Shado teaching Oliver how to aim. Slade Wilson mentioning he likes swords. The vigilante telling Moira Queen that she's failed the city. Huntress raising a crossbow for the first time. The final fight between the vigilante and Dark Archer.
Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week, we're giving you exclusive first looks at THE FLASH #23.3: THE ROGUES and FABLES #133!
Yesterday saw the release of the original television soundtrack for the first season of Arrow, and listening to it, a few things become clear. The first is how wide ranging the score is, offering up both gentle, romantic themes of love and longing as well as relentless, dark beats that effectively convey the violent vigilante justice that the show's also known for.
You know our characters. You've read their comics, watched their movies and TV shows and played their games so often that you practically have them memorized, right? Well, we're about to put that to the test.
Villains Month continues this week across The New 52, with the likes of Penguin, Clayface, Eclipso, Ra's al Ghul, Black Hand, Cheetah and The Rogues running rampant in the pages of your favorite comic books.

Central's Dylan Meyer is tied for lead at state golf tournament
He got the birdies he wanted to end his round with, but not on the holes he had expected.
Central High senior Dylan Meyer birdied two of his last three holes and shot a 2-under-par 70 in the opening round of the IHSAA State Finals at The Legends Golf Club in Franklin. He is tied for the individual lead with Columbus North senior Michael VanDeventer heading into Wednesday's final round.
Meyer started his round with a birdie on the first hole, but found himself in trouble when he followed that up with a bogey and double-bogey. But he didn't allow those early problems to manifest into a poor round, carding four birdies and 11 pars to finish out his day.
"I started off pretty rough but knew I could fight back," Meyer said. "I've played this course multiple times and knew there were some birdies out there. I kind of made my way back, clawed back."
The 6,736-yard course is familiar to Meyer, who is playing in his third consecutive state finals. He entered the day just hoping to get a par on the par-3 No. 16 and par-4 No. 17. On both holes, Meyer used less of a club than he normally would have due to the windy conditions.
"I knew I had too much club so I went back and grabbed my 8-iron on the par-3 and then I hit a soft 9-iron into the No. 17 green and knew that would be perfect," Meyer said. "I was long all day so I figured I might as well club down and feel like I was going to be short."
Meyer bogeyed the 406-yard, 17th hole in both rounds he played in the state finals last year, but made a 15-foot putt to get a birdie on that hole Tuesday.
"It didn't really surprise me because he's the comeback kid," Central coach Alicia Gooch said. "He may end up 3-over on the front, but be 3- or 4-under on the back. He never gets upset and he just stays calm and collected."
Meyer finished second in the state finals as a sophomore, and was tied for 36th last season. His goal for his final high school meet before heading to the University of Illinois is simple: win a state title.
"I'm hoping to go out in my senior season with something big," Meyer said.
Meanwhile, Memorial High had a lineup that included a freshman and two sophomores. And the two seniors — Preston French and Brandon Auker — were making their first state finals appearance.
The Tigers shot a 329 and are in last place among the 15 teams heading into Wednesday's final round, three strokes behind Boone Grove. Columbus North shot a 299 and leads the team race after the first round.
"They're young and they have some great experience for the future," Memorial coach Mike Ladd said. "It was the first time any of these guys have played at this level of competition. But I have no disappointment with the kids."
Sophomore Matthew Ladd shot a 79 to lead Memorial, while French shot an 81. Sophomore Ben Kiesel carded an 84, Auker an 85, and freshman Zach Rohrschieb a 98. The goal for today is to at least catch Boone Grove in the team standings.
"I just want to see us not finish 15th," Ladd said. "Our goal will be to improve a few spots."
