The nuts and bolts of the sequester
Wednesday - 8/8/2012, 2:55am EDT
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans and Democrats are sounding the alarm: The budget sequester is coming and we have to do everything to stop it.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says it will be devastating to the military. Manufacturers say it will mean the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. The White House fears cuts in everything from cancer research to the number of FBI agents.
Some $110 billion in cuts kick in Jan. 2, hitting defense and domestic programs equally hard unless Congress figures out over the next five months a way to avoid the reductions.
"Sequestration is a blunt, indiscriminate instrument designed to force congressional action on achieving a balanced deficit reduction plan," acting Office of Management and Budget Director Jeff Zients told Congress earlier this month. "It is not the responsible way for our nation to achieve deficit reduction."
But increasingly bitter partisanship and election-year politics make a solution unlikely before the November elections, leaving the issue to a jam-packed lame-duck session for Congress. And if Mitt Romney wins the presidency and Republicans capture the Senate, members of Congress could decide on a short-term fix and delay action until next year.
Some key questions and answers about the sequester:
Q: What is sequester?
A: Automatic cuts that are imposed across the board to federal programs, from the Pentagon budget for buying guns, ships and planes to the National Weather Service's equipment for forecasting hurricanes, tornadoes and other severe weather. It's part of the drive to cut the deficit.
Q: How deep are the cuts?
A: The reductions total $1.2 trillion over 10 years. The first-year cuts are $110 billion, split evenly from defense and domestic programs, from a budget of $3.8 trillion. Many programs, however, would be exempt from the cuts.
Q: What programs would be spared?
A: Social Security, Medicaid, supplemental security income, refundable tax credits, the children's health insurance program, the food stamp program and veterans' benefits. The White House said last week that President Barack Obama would exempt military personnel from the cuts.
Q: What about Medicare?
A: The government-run health care program for seniors would face a 2 percent cut in Medicare payments to providers and insurance plans. That works out to a reduction of $11 billion next year.
Q: Who originally came up with sequester?
A: The process was part of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, which set deficit targets. That law stipulated that if spending exceeded the specified targets, a process known as sequester would go into effect. It's often referred to as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act named for its Senate sponsors _ Phil Gramm, R-Texas; Warren Rudman, R-N.H., and Fritz Hollings, D-S.C.
Q: If sequester is so bad, why would anyone agree to it?
A: It was the default plan when all else failed. Last August, congressional Republicans demanded spending cuts in response to Obama's plea to raise the nation's borrowing authority by $2.1 trillion. As part of the negotiated deal, the two sides agreed on $900 billion in spending cuts and the creation of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. The committee was told to come up with $1.2 trillion more in deficit cuts _ through additional spending cuts, revenue increases or a combination of both _ over a decade. If the bipartisan supercommittee failed, or if Congress rejected the panel's recommendation, the automatic spending cuts would start Jan. 2, 2013. The countdown to the sequester began last November when the supercommittee was unable to reach a consensus on a deficit-cutting plan.
Q: Who backed that deal on the sequester?
A: Plenty of members of Congress_ Republicans and Democrats, committee chairmen, defense hawks, tea party freshmen. The House vote was 269-161, with 174 Republicans backing the Budget Control Act of 2011. Supporters included the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., and the head of the Appropriations Committee, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky. The Senate vote was 74-26, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, supporting the legislation.Obama signed it into law.
Q: What are members of Congress saying now?
A: McKeon says he regrets his vote. In an election-year swipe, Republicans like McCain, Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire blame Obama and insist he negotiate with Congress on a new deal to avert the cuts. The three recently traveled to four presidential battleground states _ Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and New Hampshire _ to warn about the devastating impact of the cuts and increase political pressure against them. Graham said he also was disappointed in the GOP for allowing it to happen. "The failure of the supercommittee had to be at least anticipated, and the penalty to put the military at risk, devastating the finest military in our nation's history, is so out of sync with the party of Ronald Reagan. It's disturbing," he said. "We share the blame for this, but at the end of the day we have to fix it."

Best Uses
Comments about Tifosi Optics Slope Fototec Sunglasses:
I use these for MTB single track.. This winter I have maintained my MTB riding and with the heavy snow back I was getting to much glare.. These cut the glare and lead to excellent vision enhancement.. Very comfortable and light..
With the cold temperatures my eyes have a tendency to water over 10mph when I was at speed on some of the longer downhill runs I was cruising 20mph+ on the trails.
My only con is I have a longer face with flatter cheeks and wish the bottom of the lenses were a little longer to block the wind coming in from the bottom..
They had no fogging issues while riding and when I stopped and they did fog up they cleared right up only a few seconds into the ride again.
Overall great glasses and I will be using them during the warmer weather..
My Pivlock V90Max give better bottom coverage but really like the auto dark function of the Tifosi.
I can not comment on scratch resistance and such since I only used them during snow season for a few months.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great quality
I didn't have time to order any samples, so I just chose a design and crossed my fingers. The print quality was great and the customization was perfect. They also arrived on time. The boxes were easy to assemble (two of us folded up 60 boxes in under an hour) and rather sturdy. I wanted to avoid endless hours of bow tying and label attaching and this did the trick. I would highly recommend these for packaging any kind of favor.
Excellent Quality
The nautical box is perfect! Both are in the Navy and the wedding is nautical. The box is so cute and easily holds five pieces of salt water taffy for favors. Very pleased!

My guild is chugging along, moving into heroics. We're currently 4/13 with Halfus, Magmaw, Atramedes, and Chimeron dead. We're working on Maloriak at the moment. Of those listed, I've seen all but Magmaw.
The heroic fights are okay. They're like ICC heroics, just the normal versions with 1 extra mechanic and the damage dealt and dps required dialed up.
Truth be told, when WoW is over, I think we'll look back at Ulduar as the high point of raiding over the game's lifetime.
Loot-wise, I think Blizzard needs to pay a little more attention to where stuff drops. There are five different epic plate healing belts, including one from reputation and one from crafting. Yet there is only one epic plate healing bracer, and it drops from an end-boss.
Or healing weapons. Putting the two healing weapons paladins can use on the end-bosses was not a good choice. I think some care should be taken that end-bosses don't share item slots or types in their loot tables.
(I guess you can tell which two items I'm missing to finish i359.)
It would have worked if people cleared Blackwing Descent before starting on Bastion of Twilight. But sadly, people don't approach bosses in that manner when multiple raids are available. They bounce around in order of difficulty, and you can almost guarantee that all the end-bosses will be killed at the very end.

There's actually a "healing weapon" from all three end bosses, as Al'Akir has a chance to drop Intellect and Agility Swords.
Our Holydin is also still missing those bracers.

I think you're probably right about Ulduar (although I'll always have fond memories of Karazhan). I remember saying when Cata launched that I thought people would say Wrath was the best of the WoW expansions, in retrospect.

i agree, same problem here with the bracers :) and the healing mace was a drag to get, struggling at first to down cho'gall and nef for it.

I think they are trying to fill in some of these gaps with the new 353 iLvL stuff that drops from the new heroics.

Don't make me cry with the "no healing weapon": I have a healing weapon that you could use too. Has it since December. It has
+17 intellect
+25 stamina
-86 spirit (yes, that's bad)
+11 crit rating
+225 spell power
Go and find some guy on /trade for 5 wins!

Agreed on the bracers, ive killed chogall 7 times and i have yet to see the bracers. They did not think very hard on loot placement. Dump all of our crap on end bosses/ go to lunch.

- Cygnia said...
The way my guild is going, I'm afraid I'm never gonna SEE those end bosses before Firelands comes out, let alone be allowed to sniff at any healdin loot. :(
- 8:39 AM, April 05, 2011
- Falrei said...
I guess I'm one of the lucky few. Cho'gall was the first of the three end bosses we killed, and he had a potential of four pieces of loot that could drop that were useful to me. The bracers were one of them, but I was kind of hoping he WOULDN'T drop them right away because I'm the only healer that could use them and I didn't want him to drop a whole bunch and watch them get DEed kill after kill. So of course, our very first kill I got my bracers, which I was happy about, but figured he could have dropped some mace/trinket action (things that three to four people needed). Surprisingly, eight kills later, I've yet to see the bracers again, and we're upto three maces now; the bracers are a pretty low drop rate, and it's kind of a dumb piece of gear to put on an end boss. "Yay, I got my bracers, the last thing I need to get epiced out!"
- 9:23 AM, April 05, 2011
- Janyaa said...
Ugh- I share your pain. I still haven't seen either the mace or the bracers. :(
- 10:24 AM, April 05, 2011
- Fannon said...
Bracers are clearly the slot that is hardest to fill in this tier. They're rare and hard to get both in epics and blues. I suspect that blizzard did this intentionally so as not to make gearing too easy.
I would be that with the next tier of gear Bracers will be so common that they'll practically be giving them away on the streets of Stormwind and another slot will be nearly impossible to fill.
After all, Blizzard needs to give the blogosphere something to complain about, don't they? :)
- 11:29 AM, April 05, 2011
- Florian said...
Or tanking weapons... and don't even get me started on something for the ranged slot for warriors!

Bessemer City took over its own police protection Sunday morning.
The first call to come in was a false alarm at Bessemer City Primary School.
The office opened for business Monday. And though that was the first business day, officers have been laying the foundation for the new department for months.
Sprucing up
Just two days before opening, the new Bessemer City Police Department was still being assembled.
Technology guys were setting up computer systems.
Pictures leaned against walls, waiting to be hung.
Police officers assembled shelves and installed laptops and safety kits in patrol cars.
That's what it's been like pulling the department together, according to Sgt. J.T. Zaludek.
Zaludek is one of two full-time sergeants hired by Bessemer City Police Chief Thomas Ellis Jr.
Zaludek said he and everyone else in the department have been painting walls and pitching in with the renovation.
"It seems like we've done everything but policing so far," he said. "Now we're finally going to get out here and do what we know how to do."
On staff
Over the past several months, Ellis has hired officers, designed logos, ordered uniforms and chosen cars to be outfitted for a police department.
He signed lease-purchase agreements on six Dodge Chargers and a Ford Explorer for himself.
And he's hired six people so far.
Ellis comes to Bessemer City from the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Zaludek previously worked at the Shelby Police Department. And his counterpart, Sgt. Brooks Luckadoo, came from Gastonia Police Department.
The two sergeants will train and oversee full- and part-time officers.
Patrol officers include Matt McPherson from Shelby Police Department, Melissa Reding from Gastonia Police Department and three rookies, Kyle Bell, Alex Howell and Cameron Stroup.
Nancy Robinson, formerly of the N.C. Highway Patrol, will man the police department's front desk five days a week.
The new police department will get calls through the Gaston County Police Department's 911 system.
Early duty
The department's official start date was July 1. But officers became a visible presence before then.
Treva Deck has strong ties to the original Bessemer City Police. Her father, Curtis Colvin, retired as a lieutenant after 20 years with the department, and her uncle, Robert Colvin, served as police chief for 26 years, she said.
Both men retired the same day about 25 years ago.
Deck said her father was thrilled that Bessemer City would soon have its own police force again. Unfortunately he died before opening day.
Curtis Colvin passed away May 25.
Deck took a chance and called Chief Ellis to see if officers could provide a funeral escort.
Not only did they lead the funeral procession, they attended the visitation and stayed for the burial, Deck said.
"I just thought that was the most wonderful thing. They didn't even know my dad," she said. "I just thought they went above and beyond the call of duty."
In business
Bessemer City once had its own police force, but Gaston County Police took over 14 years ago.
The contract between the two expired after Bessemer City Council voted in January to jump start its own department again.
Gaston County officers used the former Bessemer City Police Department, but the building needed some upgrades, according to Ellis.
The department now has office space, an interview room, a conference room, a locker room, an evidence room and a space for officers from other departments if needed.
Zaludek had his office assembled early. Though he still lives in Shelby, he said Bessemer City was quickly becoming home away from home.
Zaludek said he's already getting a warm welcome from the locals.
"We'll walk down to get an orange soda and get stopped so many times," he said. "This community is so excited."

Q:I want to try out this soap because the smell is amazing, but I am afraid it will be drying. What moisturizing soaps would you recommend that have a similar scent?Asked on 4/20/2015 by Ashley from Bronx, NY
2 answers
A:I have not found The Godmother soap to be drying. But if you have sensitive skin, then I would recommend using it every other time you shower. I usually rotate between several different ones. There are no other soaps with the same scent as this one... but The Rockster is the closest and it has more moisturizing ingredients.
christineAnswered on 4/20/2015 by Anonymous
A:In terms of scent, Rock Star is the closest and is a little bit creamier and more moisturizing. You shouldn't find the Godmother drying though. It is actually quite lovely on the skin!Answered on 4/21/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Are there any other products with a similar scent to this one?Asked on 6/8/2014 by Jess from Boston, MA
3 answers
A:The Godmother soap has the same scent as our Snow Fairy products, which are only available during the Christmas holiday season. As for year-round items, check out Rockstar soap if you like the sweeter, candy-scented products!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I think the space girl bath bomb smells similar to god mother soap. I do use both products together.Answered on 8/16/2014 by lana from york, pa
A:The closest I've tried to the Godmother Soap would probably have to be the Miranda soap. It is quite different and unique but I would say its the closest. Miranda is supposed to smell fruity. It is a sweet fruity though, it does have an odd, but not bad, undertone I cant really describe though... maybe earthy?Answered on 6/8/2014 by Anonymous

Q:Can this be used as facial soap?Asked on 8/15/2012 by Miranda from Lancaster, PA
1 answer
A:We don't recommend using the hand and body soaps on the face, as the skin there is a bit more delicate, and the pores are finer. We have loads of great facial cleansers, so I'd definitely recommend having a look at those. if you're having trouble deciding which is best for your skin needs, give us a call at 1-888-733-5874 and we'd be happy to help!Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct

Vote your conscience with Sojourners' 2012 election guide
Given the deluge of money in politics and the mud-slinging in political ads, it's tempting to become cynical and not vote in this election. But, as Jim Wallis explains in his latest Sojourners magazine cover story "How to Choose a President [6]," "Even in a broken political system, the apathy of not voting only further deepens our problems. Engagement is required for Christian citizens, but not only at election time."
Sojourners encourages you to develop a robust and well-informed conscience during elections and beyond. While we must be careful about translating scripture directly into public policy positions, we can measure candidates and their platforms against Christian ethics and values.
To help you vote your conscience, Sojourners has published an election guide of principles and policies. We encourage you to use this guide to educate yourself and your community about the issues. This can inform you as you write letters to candidates or to your local newspaper, call radio talk shows, or participate in forums and town hall meetings.
Think and pray about whom you would entrust with the responsibility to lead your community, state, and nation. And then after Nov. 6, hold your elected officials accountable.
Counter cynicism and uphold the common good—vote your conscience.

Sorry if this is old news, Is Derby City Disc Store closed? Is there any other retailers in the Louisville area that have a better selection than Play it Again Sports?
I am brand new to the sport(only played once). If I have to buy from Play It Again Sports then I assume that I will have to buy an Innova. I already bought a driver (apparently I'm not good enough to use it yet) and a putter. I need a midrange. What is a good Innova Disc for an absolute beginner?

Lazer Helmets offers a break from the crowd with their Lazer Tardiz Aero Helmet. The Lazer Tardis takes protection as serious as it takes aerodynamics. The In-Mold system keeps the shell strong to protect your head. The exclusive Rollsys® Retention System features a unique adjustment roller on the top of the helmet that tightens the entire inside of the helmet progressively so as not to pinch any areas too tightly. The dual layer aerodynamics has two different surfaces that treat the air different. The top layer of the helmet is smooth and the lower area is dimpled for head down aerodynamics when the tail of the helmet may be in the wind a bit more.
The enemy of aerodynamics is the wind and many aero helmets have minimal venting to keep the air flow smooth around the helmet. The Lazer Tardiz shares the minimal venting philosophy with three large vents in the front and three in the rear. To try to keep your head cooler when the temperature heats up, Lazer added a clever aqua port at the top of the helmet. Pull the rubber plug back and pour water in and cool your head off. Distribution channels distribute the water throughout your head so that water doesn't just go streaming to your eyes. For your transitions, the Lazer Tardiz features a magnetic buckle that makes securing your helmet effortless.
The proof of every aerodynamic helmet is in the performance. In 2011, Julie Dibbens bested the previous bike time course record at Kona by over 4 minutes! Pete Jacobs bested his bike best by over 14 minutes en route to a 2nd place overall. Ironman Kona is a hot and windy race and the Lazer Tardiz excelled in that tough race!

We never get used to it. No matter how many cases of cruelty our team investigates, the brutality of it still hits us hard in the heart. This case was no exception. In mid-July our Humane Law Enforcement department received a call from an eyewitness who saw a father and son beating their cat to death with a stick. We jumped into action.
Quickly finding the deceased cat in a garbage bag on the side of the road, our Agents subsequently obtained a search warrant for the home. A search uncovered a broken stick encrusted with cat fibers and blood in the attic. Jean Rog Murat, 60, and his son, Robenson Murat, 29, were arrested and taken into custody.
The Kings County District Attorney indicted the duo on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals; overdriving, torturing and injuring animals; and failure to provide proper sustenance for animals. If convicted, the defendants will face a maximum of two years of incarceration.
"This was a heinous act on an innocent animal and a clear case of violent abuse," says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Counsel of the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement department. "We praise the district attorney for his commitment to hold these perpetrators accountable for their cruel and callous acts."
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state. With your help, we fight back. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
This is exactly why I want to be a humane law enforcer for the Houston SPCA- I want to help bring people like this to justice for these horrible crimes.
its that simple.
Anyone who can do this to a defenseless animal obviously has something mentally wrong with them and I don't think a person like that deserves to be live free in society. Anyone capable of such horrifying acts cannot be rehabilitated and should be given a life sentence. 2 years is a joke. I just wish I could've been there right as it was happening. There would be two severely injured idiots and a new cat in my home.
inmates will beat them to a pulp.
This sick duo needs to be beaten to death with a stick. Anyone who would kill an animal with no regards, would certainly kill a human with no regards. People who kill any living being for the hell of it, should be put to death for this action. This would be a good way to start cleaning up this world - let's take out the trash!!
It is very sad to hear of yet another act of senseless cruelty to an innocent animal. I wish the laws would change and that these jerks would do more time in jail and that the fines were steeper. Two years is a slap on the wrist.
They should of known better, but people are stupid!!! In my opinion they should be given the same punishment that cat was given, BEAT THEM BOTH WITH A STICK!!!
This is disgusting.. they should be beat with stick and then forced to volunteer at the local human society and learn how to treat animals. Throw the book at them!
This criminal act should be a felony. If it is not (judging by the penalty it doesn't seem as it if is), then the law should be changed so that we could give the appropriate penalty. Is there a petition to change the law? If not, I recommend the ASPCA start one. They'll get the signatures in no time!

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
Also, there are some very sweet older pets that need homes. Some are due to a natural disaster or foreclosers, etc. There is an organization that rescues these pets. Young at Heart Pet Rescue. yahpetrescue.com and look under their list of animals.

My dog was adopted also. A beautiful lab about 1 year (at the time) who was left in a backyard and got parasites soo bad. What an ordeal dealing with that medical issue. He would just look at me with the saddest eyes I ever saw as if to say "I didn't mean to do that, but I can't help it. I'm sorry". Will still have to be careful on what he eats and has terrible reactions to shots, but he is a GREAT dog. He just had his 5th birthday!
What is the purpose of looking around the country for a specific breed?? If you want to help, find a great dog of any age and unknown breed at the local animal shelter. I have had 6 dogs over the last 17 yrs., and I found 5 of them on streets of Cleveland. (Luckily, I was able to find homes for 6 other street dogs and a cat). They have all been great and EXTREMELY loyal companions. I now have 3 dogs. I found Wiley 14 yrs ago, Cali off a freeway last yr and old Maggie was the oldest dog at the pound and had a ton of issues. They are unique looking w unique personalities. Designed by nature, not a breeder.
It broke my heart when I read your first enews regarding these dogs from a Michigan puppy mill. Have all the Shiba Inus that were brought to your facility in New Jersey been adopted? God Bless to all the people who work to find all animals a home.
I can't express more strongly my respect and gratitude for what the ASPCA and other wonderful animal welfare groups do. I just do not have enough money to donate much. Whne I see photos or videos of the rescue operations & the animals that survive and become rehabilitated, I am brought to tears. There is just so much animal abuse on this planet that some days I am distraught. Thanks ASPCA, blessings on all you do !
I wish I could work for a group like this.
This story just breaks my heart! Thank God for those who helped him & many other animals! I am glad Zack is much better! He is adorable.
Zack, you are absolutely adorable and I am so happy that you are now fully loved and safe and happy. Your spirit to survive and thrive and trust again is inspiring. Bless your heart.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!

Strengths: Great traction,good cornering, stable on DH, durable (rocks, sand, loose, packed dirt), cost (if you find them on sale, they run around $30). Nice width for 2.24, added stability.
Weaknesses: If you don't run the front at lower PSI they tend to wash out a lot. I keep at 30 or even less and they are great. I am 190 ponds and haven't had a problems. Here and there I will get a pinched tube, but that is usually on heavy loose rocks.

Strengths: great tread life, fast rolling in the race version
great tread life, and great traction in the old "laser" version
Weaknesses: the laser version with the inner peace sidewall and the dual tread compound is no longer available
Bottom Line:
I also have some older ones that they used to sell that had inner peace sidewall protection and dual dna. A lot like the current weirwolf LT tire. This version of the tire was spectacular and would hold in corners, resist pinchflats and lasted a long time. It was a mere 700g's for a 2.24 tire. flat out rocked. Then they stopped selling it!!! DAMMIT, bring that tire back! It was awesome.

Date Reviewed: October 1, 2010
Strengths: Great initial bite, very good (low) rolling resistance for a medium volume tire.
Good enough on dry rock, great on loam and tacky to slimy mediumpack (Read: PNW in the less wet season).
Weaknesses: Can't handle PNW roots, even dry ones. Front end traction is unpredictable, and inconsistent at high speed.
Bottom Line:
Low speed is great as far as the front is concerned, but the rear breaks loose a bit too easily on the looser steep climbs.
HORRIBLE on roots, wet or dry, both front and rear. These are PNW roots, so "dry" still means a lot more moisture than roots youd find in in the Southwest or Rockies.
High speed is another different story. I had the front end wash out horribly twice on me on high speed bermed turns (with NO warning), where there was TONS of traction to be had.
Similar tires have always had predictable slide and drift characteristics to where you could do a controlled slide before letting go into a crash-like washout.
These tires give you all or nothing, all is great, when they give you nothing, its disaster.
I'll be reluctantly switching back to the Nevegals earlier in the season than I planned. They roll slower than dogsh*t, but I'd rather stay on my wheels and slide predictably.
They're a good tire, but not a PNW tire.

Date Reviewed: August 8, 2010
Strengths: Great all around. Great traction and rolls well for it. Lightish for tread pattern, size and traction.
Weaknesses: Deep mud. Not the fastest rolling. Not the lightest tire you can put on the bike.
Bottom Line:
I run reasonable pressures on the XC/Trail rig to protect my light wheels on long trails w long downhills and to save a bit of energy. Even climbing v steep grades at my weight with just a 2.24 tire at 38psi, I rarely lose traction.
Currently my favourite back tire. It's probably great on the front too, but I run a bigger tire there at the moment that is faster rolling.
No major signs of wear after several hundred km as a back tire on real mountain trails. But I don't lock or spin it up much.
Great climbing on rocks and dry dirt. Handles roots fine as long as they are not too smooth, diagonal and wet and as long as there's not too much wet clay on the tire.
Even good on loose over hard. I have saved quite a few stalls on steep and loose stuff this year with this tire where normally I wouldn't even bother trying to get going again and would just dismount once that far off line and without momentum. But the moto can often get moving again. Has allowed me to clean several trails I couldn't before. They clog up a bit in deep mud - but what all-rounder doesn't. Clears quite well once you are out of the mire. And you can usually get out fine.
It's not super-fast rolling, but you just plod away and get over everything.
With one of these on the back, it is rare that a failure to climb something has anything to do with available traction. Available skill/oxygen can still be a problem, but I can forget about the tire being a weak link.
This tire is just what I wanted. Something that will let me ride anything my body is capable of riding and never hold me back. Tough enough to handle sharp rocks on fast trail-type downhills too. This is a great choice. Up or down.
I liked it enough on the XC/Trail rig that I put one on the AM bike too. No probs there either, but I would rather it was more like 2.35 on the bigger bike and I'd run it softer.
If you are running a 2.1ish rear tire, are reasonably fit but not super-light and want to be able to climb stuff that you currently spin up on, then this is def worth a go on the back. If you never have traction problems anyway then there are faster rolling and lighter tires out there.
NB, as I said at the top this review is for the Kevlar version w DNA rubber. Not tried other versions or sizes (yet).

Strengths: Great all around tire for varying east conditions-rocks, roots, leaves, loamy soil, etc. I keep trying other tires and coming back to the motoraptor as the front tire for its all around performance and predictability. BTW, I would put this tire and my needs into the all mountain category-usually tires in the 600-700 gram range that are not too slow but with the grip to handle east coast all mountain conditions.

Strengths: Great cornering tire. It gets good bite in mud and dirt. I have even found it to be acceptable in sand. The motoraptor clears effectively, especially when the mud areas are spotty. The motoraptor also seems to wear better than the Bontrager tires I have tried in the past. They also seem to be fairly strong construction and puncture resistant.

Isn't it amazing how quickly time flies? Life moves past us with lightning speed. One big event after another appears on our calendars. We watch them approach, and when they arrive we mark them off. Then we're on to the next big thing.
Within our families, it's stuff like weddings and birthdays and soccer tournaments. At church, it's retreats, sermon series, small group studies, and, if you're liturgical like my church, feast days and liturgical seasons measured in colors — we move from white to red to green.
It's already been a week since we fasted and prayed for the millions of children and families affected by the global food crisis. I missed my chance to immediately write and thank you. I meant to — you were on my heart.
The day came and was powerful and passed. Almost instantly I was off to the next "important" thing.
Yet, the kids are still hungry. They still need our prayers and our actions. They are not on to the next thing. They are still dealing with and living this one big thing. Hunger.
Over 6,500 of you committed to pray and fast with us last week. And I do want to say thank you for that! Even though my thanks are a bit late, they are heartfelt nonetheless.
I hope your day of prayer and fasting was a day in which you encountered the Lord and His tender heart for those who are suffering. I hope it was a day when you felt a bit more deeply the Lord's love for these children.
Let's keep doing that — feeling His love for them. Sharing His compassion with them. Not just on one day. Let's pray regularly for them. Perhaps when we sit down to dinner to say grace. When we lie down in bed at night. When we rise to another beautiful summer day. Let's thank the Lord for His astounding provision to us and lift up those who so desperately need a touch of His hand.
A few of Compassion's international partners are holding days of fasting and prayer just like we did on June 25.
If you enjoy the feeling of joining together with believers across the globe to fast and pray, then you might consider praying with:
- Netherlands on July 6
- United Kingdom on July 13
- South Korea on July 24
Please continue to tell others about the global food crisis. Continue to help raise awareness. Let's take our focus off gas prices in the U.S. and put the spotlight on the deep and growing needs the children have worldwide.
Don't assume everyone around you already knows about this and is doing something to make a difference. Most people don't know, and those who do know, don't know how to help in a way that will make a tangible difference. Tell them what we're doing.
In the month of July alone we're sending $1.5 million to nine of our field countries to help feed children and provide emergency supplemental food for their families. We hope to do the same for the next several months, if the funds come in.
We are also working on a longer term plan that will help the children's families and our church partners address this problem, into the future, in ways that are sustainable and developmental.
Let's not let this moment pass in our everyday busyness. In the rush to move along to the next thing in our lives …let's pause here. Let's join together and make a difference.
This is important. Really important! Who is going to do it if you and I don't?

I'm curious what other peoples view on this is,
In Buddhism we realize the no-self nature of the world, the impermanence of everything, how grasping is absolutely useless. Is this supposed to make the world any less beautiful, even if we realize beauty isn't an actual quality?
I've been finding the world ever more beautiful, and I find it strange that somehow these things are normally seen as unwanted notions in society; mortality, the fleeting nature of happiness and the like. Has anyone ever woke up and been just absolutely astoundingly happy to be alive? Before my practice, I never experienced this.
and I find it funny the source of such happiness is nothing at all. I apologize for ranting!
Have a great day all.

|Introduction | Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM A Canon lens performance | Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM A Canon versus competition | Conclusion
Discerning photographers have always understood the quality benefit of buying prime lenses over zooms, The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is a great example of why this is worthwhile. This Sigma lens scores higher than any other lens in its focal length, including many that are much more expensive, and is among the highest, for sharpness, of any tested by DxOMark on a Canon body.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
As the first model in Sigma's high-grade ART series the 35mm f1.4 HSM A set the bar very high for image quality when measured on Canon and Nikon bodies. The lens is also available in Sony mount, and we couldn't resist trying it on the excellent Sony A99. Read on to see how well it performs.
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.
To website
Sigma has produced some really fine lenses over the past few years, including the 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM (which we liked a lot when we reviewed it in 2008) and the 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM. But the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM may possibly be its best yet. In fact it's one of those rare lenses for which finding any fault seems almost churlish, so good is its overall performance.

Newer Canon camera bodies for measurement?
I'm actually very interested to know why the canon lens tests are still based on 1ds Mk 3 or 5D mark II, both of which are quite old models, while Nikon has already started using D800.
Or is DxO expecting very close performance between 5D mk 3 and these models?

Re: Newer Canon camera bodies for measurement?
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
Your question is very relevant: we are about to review 90 lenses mounted on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and the results are amazing...
Stay tuned !
