Added device support.
2/14/2013This app is difficult for my 2 year old to use. I read the prior reviews before purchasing so I was disappointed to see it in person. Would not recommend.
11/14/2012My 2 year old loves this. I do wish Elmo read the story, and that it was a little longer. Overall, a great app that keeps my toddler distracted for 5-10 min while waiting in the grocery store line.
8/12/2012Great app, my 4yr loves it.
6/24/2012Great app!! My son LOVES this app. THANK YOU sesame street workshop =)
5/10/2012My kids love it. Only wish the characters read the story.
3/30/2012Its great to see content from Sesame Street. Unfortunately there is no trial which is highly unusual for the Windows Phone Marketplace. Well done overall and my 2 year old loved it. Wish this was longer or perhaps a platform for downloading more books. It was also hard to find (had heard about this app from a news article)... You can't find it by searching for "Sesame Street" - something to get resolved I'd think. I would suggest a Sesame Street app that is a book reader instead and the sell additional stories.

2006 Suzuki Reno (2 Reviews)
I like the car, the only inconvinient is the air bag on
Not a bad car, its just a middle of the pack member in a tough class. Not one outstanding feature on it. Unlike american makes it has a good looking interior made of cheap plastic. The engine is underpowered but responds well to tweaks. Transmission can be clunky when its cold. Steering is responsive but not in your face. Suspension is right where you'd expect it to be. I think this car has a bad rap because it's made by Daewoo and rebadged as a Suzuki, but overall it can keep up well with its competitors. Just don't expect it to be a BMW and you'll be happy.

'UFC Fight Night 29′ Results: Shields Grinds Out Split Decision Victory Over Maia
The fight went a full five rounds and was a reminder of how elite Shields' grappling skills are.
Maia secured two takedowns early on in the first round, but nothing came of the advantageous positions. Shields took the top position mid-way through the round and that's what won him the first. After getting shut down transition after transition attempt, he took to striking and potentially stole the round with repetitive strikes to the head and body of Maia.
The fight quickly returned to the ground in the second round and Shields utilized short elbows and punches to wear down Maia. Shields was working, but wasn't giving Maia the opportunity to sweep him or stand up. Shields was on top of Maia for close to four minutes and there's no question that the grinding offense tired Maia out.
Maia seemed to be gaining momentum early on in the third round after landing a few nice shots and a takedown. He had Jake Shields' back and was looking to get a hook in, but Shields rolled through and impressively landed on top; it was a beautiful thing. From there, Shields went to his bread and butter and continued to spend the rest of the round on top of Maia, working just enough to not get stood up.
The fourth saw Maia on top of Shields for the first time in a while, but he was inactive on top and the referee was forced to stand them up. Maia would continue to gain momentum in the fifth where he stuffed multiple takedowns and got the better of the exchanges while standing, but it was too late for Maia to win by decision. He had to finish the fight to walk out with his hands raised, but he was too exhausted.
Jake Shields bested Demian Maia and was awarded a split decision victory.

USFkn A from a Canadian, didn't think you'd get the better of Maia especially with the tough crowd…. Congrats it was a work of art…..lol
good win for shields. he clearly had maia frustrated because he was beating him at his own game. If shields could learn how to throw a punch or kick effectively he would be pretty good.
i really liked that fight.

GREEN BAY, WI - AUGUST 15: Fullback Quinn Johnson #45 of the Green Bay Packers looks on before taking on the Cleveland Browns during the preseason game at Lambeau Field on August 15, 2009 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
After previewing the quarterbacks and the running backs, it's time to turn our attention to the other backfield position, the fullback, in our preseason positional analysis series.For the past six seasons, the Titans' starting fullback has been Ahmard Hall. The former Texas Longhorn's contract expired following the end of the 2011 season, though, and the Titans elected not to re-sign him. There will be a camp competition for his starting job, between a veteran and a younger player whose pre-Titans trajectory in some ways mirrored Hall's.The veteran is Quinn Johnson. Acquired in a trade with the Green Bay Packers at the end of last training camp to fill the void created by Hall's four-game suspension, Johnson sadly lived up to his advance reputation. I did not rate his fullback play highly, as he seemed to struggle to locate and then block the free man in the Titans' preferred zone run plays. The Titans seemed to agree, waiving him when Hall returned from his suspension, and I though...

Find it quite strange that's it's never really found a successor.
I just can't get my head around people using forum threads for chatting (other than pumping their post count) sadly Shoutbox support is far and few between. I'd much rather an active chat session rather than relying on constantly updating a thread.

What about haxor speek? Did that not die out with IRC as well.

IRC in ZA was really held together by a relatively small group of people who provided entertainment or info for the rest. As they got lives and drifted away, interest waned and they weren't really replaced.
Mxit, Bbm, Facebook etc all contributed to it really dropping below a critical mass. Now when someone tries it there is nothing to hold them there.

Using My.SL.edu to Sign up for a Class
Silver Lake College uses the Jenzabar My.SL.edu Web interface to provide current students with up-to-date information on course listings and course descriptions. Class information in My.SL.edu instantly reflects changes to the schedule made by the Registrar's Office.
Course Schedules by Department
All undergraduate and graduate courses are listed by department and users have the option of selecting a current listing or tentative, future schedule. Graduate courses are denoted by a course number of 500 or higher, for example, MUS*522 is a graduate-level music course. Click on the course number (ex: CPS101) for a description of the course.
Class Locations
Class locations on My.SL.edu are shown under the 'Building' header. Most listings appear much like this: SLC*225, meaning the class will meet on the Silver Lake College Campus (SLC) in room number 225. If the classroom contains the letter 'G' the class will meet at the Generose Enrichment Center on the Manitowoc Campus.
Silver Lake College also provides accelerated adult degree programs at various Wisconsin locations. Courses are available in Appleton, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Keshena, Marinette, Racine, Sheboygan, Waukesha, Wausau, West Allis, Rhinelander, Madison, and Milwaukee. Off-Campus locations appear in My.SL.edu in much the same way with a shortened form of the city followed by an abbreviation of the building. For example, APL*FVT will meet in Appleton at Fox Valley Technical College. For more information on class locations contact the Silver Lake College Registrar.

The Real Obamacare
Even before the Affordable Care Act had become law, its opponents cleverly dubbed it "Obamacare." Their intentions were obvious: to capitalize on a substantial proportion of the public's disapproval of our President and conjure up images of "socialized medicine" simultaneously. To some extent, the tactic has worked. It's unclear that opposition to the law was generated by the intentional misnomer, but a substantial proportion of Americans–somewhere between 40 and 60 percent, depending on who's asking–are opposed to the law. Of course, it's debatable how many of them actually understand the intricacies of the law, as polls also show broad support for many of its key provisions. Heck, even Mitt Romney–who has pledged to repeal the law if elected–likes many parts of it. (Of course, he should, he signed essentially the same bill into law into Massachusetts while he was Governor.)
President Obama has not shied away from the law's GOP-given nickname, either. In fact, during one of the recent Presidential debates, he admitted that he liked it. After all, it is giving him direct credit for one of, if not the single-most important policy achievements of his first term. America had tried and failed to enact health reform for nearly a century. Obama helped to realize the dream. He has every right to be proud of that. But, the name is still misleading.
I've written about many aspects of this before. For example, I've said that it's not entirely accurate to give the President sole credit. The really difficult work happened in Congress. I've also said repeatedly that this is not socialized medicine, but rather a last-ditch effort by the federal government to use the power of competition in the private insurance market to help save the American health care system. I've discussed how the closest thing to socialized medicine that was even considered was simply a program modeled after Medicare. That program, the so-called "public option" was ultimately removed from the bill in order to secure its passage to the disappointment of many progressive members of Congress.
In short, none of the things that were being hinted at, suggested, or downright lied about by using the name "Obamacare" have ever been a threat to opponents, because they haven't been real. Examples abound, but foremost among these are the notion of "death panels." Sarah Palin and Betsy McCaughey dreamed that one up, and Paul Ryan's still been talking about it. Folks, it's simply not true. What has happened, is that young adults can stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26, prescription drug coverage and preventive care have been made more affordable for seniors, and individuals can no longer be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. But that's only what's happened so far. There's more to come.
By 2014, the health insurance exchanges will be operational, and you'll be able to find quality coverage for yourself and your family at a competitive rate. The Medicaid program will expand in most states to provide coverage to low-income Americans. And, if neither of those options helps you, you'll be able to purchase coverage through a federally-sponsored multi-state insurance plan. This isn't the public option, but it's close. It will still be private coverage, but it will be contracted for by the federal government. If you have insurance through your employer now, you can think of this as another similar option, with the government serving in the same role as your employer currently does. What does it mean for you? More plan choices. Potentially lower costs through competition. A plan endorsed by the federal government that isn't looking to cut corners to make a profit. This, folks, is the real Obamacare, and you should remember that on November 6th.

Sun protection.
Our little one was protected from getting sunburn because the sunsuit covered her well. Also kept sand from getting inside of her suit. She was able to move freely. Very comfortable. I would buy this sunsuit again.

When Washington, D.C. primary voters rejected Mayor Adrian Fenty in his bid for reelection, they did more than throw the brusque young reformer out on his ear.
There are plenty of local reasons for the mayor's loss, not the least of which is the perception that he was aloof and inaccessible.
But there are national implications to the development. In the process of voting against Fenty, Washington voters may also drive off his divisive schools chancellor Michelle Rhee, a national face for public education reform who is closely tied to the Obama administration, which has actively sought to tie federal money to school performance.
Rhee won plaudits for upending the troubled school system and improving test scores. She was on the cover of Time, and is prominently featured in a new documentary, "Waiting for 'Superman.'"
But she made enemies too. She fired underperforming teachers, which mobilized the teachers' union against her. She closed some schools, which angered parents, particularly in the African American-dominated parts of the city. Rhee's emphasis on test scores as the benchmark for reform is also political.
Rhee and D.C. teachers agreed on a contract earlier this year after long and tense negotiations. But the animosity reappeared when Rhee fired more than 200 underperforming teachers less than two months before the primary.
The victor in Tuesday's Democratic primary – and therefore almost a sure winner come November in the overwhelmingly Democratic city – is D.C. City Council Chair Vincent Gray, a chief antagonist of Rhee at oversight hearings.
Gray has not said he would fire Rhee, but he hasn't said he would keep her on either.
"I have said on many occasions that after this election is over, I'd like to sit down with Michelle Rhee and let us walk and talk through it, you know, how we might work together," said Gray on CNN Tuesday.
Rhee had actively campaigned for Fenty. The Washington Teacher's Union actively campaigned for Gray.
"This has been a significant change in direction and its going to require me sitting down with mayor Fenty, the chairman, and other people to see what's in the best interests of our kids," said Rhee on Wednesday in an interview on MSNBC.
I do feel sort of bad and guilty," she said. "This man, Adrian Fenty, is truly the best leader I've ever worked for. We need more leaders like him who are willing to stake everything to make sure our kids are getting a good education."
Obviously, the voters of D.C. disagree. And so do the leaders of local and national teachers unions.
An op-ed Wednesday morning by George Parker, President of the Washington Teacher's Union, and Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, made no mention of Rhee. The article was titled "No Turning Back for D.C. Kids," and it suggested that the teachers will be happier and work more collaboratively with Gray.
"Public education is a marathon, not a sprint. Yes, there's urgency to fixing our schools, but we have to set ourselves on a long-term path toward constant and sustainable progress," wrote the union leaders.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare
nerve disorder that occurs when the body's own defenses (immune system) attack
part of the nervous system. For this reason, you may be treated with
immunotherapy, which is designed to alter or combat the abnormal immune
response by removing the antibodies that are attacking your body.
Two types of immunotherapy may be used to treat GBS:
One of these treatments is often started immediately after
you have been diagnosed with GBS that is getting worse. Early treatment may
reduce your recovery time.
Plasma exchange and IVIG appear to be
equally effective when given early in the course of the disease. They also have
similar costs. The choice between one or the other treatment may depend on what
is available and most practical.

it's getting to be that time of year, winter will soon be upon us and I am trying to decide which route to take
my previous experience with studs, I drilled stud pockets in Karoo Ts and inserted standard automotive studs with a pneumatic gun, I got 1 season out of the rear then went to the darkside with a General Altimax Arctic in the rear which I will continue to use
my front lasted 4 seasons but now must be replaced, I am debating using Aerostitch self tapping studs instead. Anyone with any experience that can tell me if they work better or worse than regular studs ? Cost for studs from Stitch is outrageous,$109 per bag of 100.
I know I'll need about 180 studs for my front wheel, I stud the center heaviest and the further from the center the fewer studs, outer knobs I leave unstudded, my theory is on ice, I won't be leaning much and when I am on dry pavement, I will want a rubber contact patch instead of studded after 4 winters and some insane conditions, my theory has held
auto studs are $75 for a bag of 1000, I'm also thinking buying my own pneumatic gun $350-$400
because the pockets that get drilled are not the correct shape like a molded stud pocket in a car tire, it takes 50-100 mile of sketchy riding for the studs to get seated, but once they get seated
in 4 winters/approx 14k miles of use, I didn't throw any studs in the front tire
I guess mostly I'd like experience of performance, longevity and whether or not Aerostitch studs are subject to getting thrown
I've used both, and find standard automotive studs will stay in place longer. Function wise there is absolutely no difference.
Keep in mind I'm using them on a sidecar rig that subjects them to lateral loads not experienced on a 2 wheeler, and that I push it much harder than you can on a 2 wheeler, so YMMV.
A local tire shop will stud my tires for $40, as apposed to $100 for 1.5 tires with the aerostitch studs.
do you drill your own stud pockets or do they so that as part of the $40?
Here are some.
Wait, what?
I quit wasting my time. http://www.frpoffroad.com/Motorcycle...Id=-1039&fpg=1
I have done a lot of research on studs... There is a big difference between street studs and ice racing studs. Tungsten carbide is expensive, but the best for on the street.
Those gnarly tires and linked ones are much more ice racing oriented.
as far as pushin it, when riding in blizzard conditions or other "only lunatics are on the road conditions" , I find myself catching up with what ever is in front of me, then waiting for them to pull off, so I can speed up again, the car tire in back was an experiment that was successful beyond my wildest expectations and its not even studded, just a regular old winter tire
what tires are you studding ? I had good luck with the Karoo T, which I'll probably use again, knobs are deep enuf for a 10mm stud
When I say "pushing it" I mean nonsense such as drifting, full throttle power slides, doing doughnuts, steep climbs over rocks and deadfalls when off pavement, and riding snowmobile trails, which are all tough on studs.
If you look close, you can see aerostich studs in a Duro 307 on the spare tire. I usually save it just for bad conditions such as solid ice, or fresh snow over compact snow or ice.
Concerning drilling your own tires for automotive studs, I did it for my truck tires. The local tire shop 'experts' said that they would all fall out right away because of not having the correct ' mushroom shaped' hole. So I proved them wrong by doing a two step drilling process that gave me the correct hole shape (time consuming). Not to mention that I also dipped the studs in rubber cement before riveting them in (extra time consuming and messy). Worked like a charm and only lost 1 or 2 studs a tire over two winters of doing donuts and tail slides at every opportunity. It was definitely worth all the effort (and always enjoyable to prove the 'experts' wrong)
Back to motorcycles, a former coworker did a lot of research into tire studding while making his own studding apparatus that took far less time than the hand gun. He commented that they used a black locktite for extra assurance. His experience was that the locktite bond was stronger than the rubber and studs that did come out had literally ripped a chunk of tire out with it.
I just drilled straight holes using a burr bit
did not loose a single stud in 4 winters/14k miles on my front tire
This is a nice problem that I don't need a solution for. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6.../cool-barf.gif
I'm curious how those studded tires behave on paved roads that aren't covered in ice or snow. I would expect them to be kind of dangerous in those conditions.

32 year old woman | Hubert, NC, USA | Seeking men 29-37 within 50 miles
Don't desire me, inspire me.
I'm looking to meet new people and just see what happens. If you can't be friends how does one expect to be lovers? I try to accept 50% of the responsibility if there's a disagreement, but sometimes it's 70/30, depending on the circumstances. I rarely watch tv, I do prefer to do home remodeling or working with contractors, crafting, researching random topics, running my business, and basically anything outside (could be pressure washing/mowing, beach, hikes, etc). I love to learn. I bought a new home in August 2011. I can mount my own shelves and am proud of my power tool collection that I'm slowly figuring out how to utilize. I'm in a quilting group at my church and recently completed the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course. I had started my MBA program and went on hiatus but am in the process of transferring credits. I have my 8 year old daughter part time, so someone who enjoys kids is a big plus! I love education and love to read. My passion is boxing. I enjoy BJJ, MMA and volleyball. I'm not an expert in any of the aforementioned above but love the challenges associated with these sports in particular.* I'm looking for a man who is educated, tall, witty, compassionate, has world views, goal-oriented as well as family-oriented, interested in trying or learning new things, spontaneous, affectionate, ambitious, etc. Those are superficial standard qualities. What I am really seeking is likely too intense for a dating profile and I don't expect to ever fully find. It has a lot to do with eloquence in thought and language. I want to inspire and to be inspired. Do you think I'm already setting the standard too high? I know I'm on the opposite spectrum of perfect but I notice that people settle, I don't want to settle, do you? * Side note: I'm always down to roll, train, spar or volley! Bonus Points: if you can sing and/or play an instrument I could potentially melt into my match.
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Martial arts, Running, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have a lab/pit mix that I rescued from the animal shelter, she's just under a year old.
Middle of the Road
Hawaii, Vegas, NJ, New Orleans
Favorite things: Hanging out with my daughter, good company, pogo sticks, boxing, grappling/rolling, hula hoops, being outdoors whether it's mowing, pressure washing, beach, kayaking, asst coaching my daughter's soccer team or volleyball.
I tend to enjoy spontaneity, like when discovering new towns, however, I did buy a one-way flight to Hawaii and lived there for 5 years. I've done sport rock climbing under a full moon and have gone skydiving on a whim.
I'm about to download Mitch Album's new book! "There is a reason God limits man's days."-M.Album

Flickering on GeForce FX - NVIDIA needs your help

Well I'm VERY disappointed with Nvidia. I am seriously thinking off RMAing my Creative Geforce FX 256mb 5900 Ultra if Nvidia don't come up with something that fix's the flickering and rolling line problem. I can't really notice the flickering so much to be honest as for the rolling lines I think it's the games and not my graphics card to be honest because it only happens in Morrowind and Battlefield 1942 and the lines I get are not the same as Bladerunner got with his GF2. I ONLY get the lines if for example my character in Morrowind is standing still and then I use the mouse to look up and down very fast then I see lines come and go. Maybe everyone gets this i'm not sure?
I so confused right now I just wish that I had two computers that I could compare!
Damn Nvidia for selling these OVERPRICED cards with problems.
Maybe I will return mine and either wait for Komplett to have in stock the Asus non-reference design or maybe I will just wait for the NV40! Hopefully the flickering problem can be fixed with new drivers, one think I am sure off and that is that it is the card and any part of my other hardware simply because so many people are having the same flickering problems.
Also has anyone got the Asus Geforce FX 256mb 5900 Ultra card? It looks real cool it has a blue PCB board which is made by ASUS and has two fans with a copper sink on it? Does anyone know if it cools the card better then the reference design ones? Does anyone even have this card yet? Comes with some cool games too.

One of the largest asteroids known to have approached the Earth zipped past about 450,000 kilometres away on March 8 - but nobody recorded it until four days later.
The object, now called 2002 EM7, was hard to spot because it was moving outward from the innermost point of its orbit, 87 million km from the Sun. When it passed closest to the Earth - just 1.2 times the distance to the Moon - the brightness of the Sun behind it rendered it invisible.
Asteroids approaching from this blind spot cannot be seen by astronomers. If a previously unknown object passed through this zone on a collision course with Earth, it would not be identified until it was too late for any intervention.
Astronomers have made numerous calls in recent years for more funds to catalogue near-Earth objects and refine their orbits. This would reduce the number of unknown objects that could catch us unaware, and give early warning of potential future collisions.
Bigger than Tunguska
An asteroid-hunting telescope operated by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory first recorded the new asteroid on March 12, as it moved away from the Earth and more of its bright side came into view.
Further observations allowed Timothy Spahr of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to calculate its orbit. He found that it has a 323-day orbit that takes it as far as 188 million km from the Sun.
Invisible to the unaided eye, 2002 EM7 is too small to be classed as a "potentially hazardous asteroid". But it is probably between 50 to 100 metres across, making it larger than the object that exploded in 1908 over the Tunguska region of Siberia, flattening trees over 2000 square kilometres.
The approach puts it among the 10 closest known approaches by substantial asteroids, says Brian Marsden of Harvard-Smithsonian. More ominously, only one of the 10 closest objects was larger. This was 1996 JA1, which passed only slightly closer to the Earth on 19 May 1996.
The discovery adds to the list of asteroids which are long shots to hit the Earth in the next century. Preliminary calculations indicate 2002 EM7 has several chances to hit the Earth in that period, with odds of one in six million to one in a billion, Marsden told New Scientist. Further observations are likely to lengthen the odds.

In The Practicing Photographer, photographer and teacher Ben Long shares a weekly serving of photographic instruction and inspiration. Each installment focuses on a photographic shooting scenario, a piece of gear, or a software technique. Each installment concludes with a call to action designed to inspire you to pick up your camera (or your mouse or smartphone) to try the technique for yourself.
Choosing a new lens is always a complicated decision because there's just so many different factors to weigh. Obviously most important there's price. But then you have to pick a focal length range you want. You've gotta worry about image quality. You've gotta think about other features that you might want like image stabilization. If all this sounds like gobbly goo to you, take a look at my Foundations of Photography Lenses course where in we talk about all of the specifics and give you kind of a workflow for how to choose a new lens. One question that comes up though, is third party lenses.
So I'm a Canon shooter, does that mean I should only by Canon lenses? I'm a Nikon shooter, does that mean I should stick with Nikon lenses? Certainly both Canon and Nikon make exceptional lenses, but there are third party lenses out there, Tamron, Sigma, Tokina. There are also just lenses made for other cameras. You might want to use a Nikon lens on your Cannon camera, or maybe you see a nice Olympus lens of some kind. But these third party brands, Sigma, and Tokina, and Tamron, should you really be considering those? They're much cheaper. Is it possible that they can be as good? Yes, it is.
And, for years, those have been viable alternatives to the branded lenses that match your camera brand. However, for years, you've also had to be careful when buying those lenses. For a long time, the image quality across the entire product range has not been consistent. Now, this is true with Canon and Nikon also, but with Sigma and, and Tamron and Tokina, you've had to be careful that they've had some great lenses and some real dogs. And so it's been worth doing some research to find out if the lens you want was one of the good ones. Also, for a long time, with the third party lenses, built quality was consistent.
You might buy a lens and it, it felt fine out of the box and you put it on and it worked and everything but focus was just a little bit off, or sharpness was a little soft. Swap the lens, get another one, maybe have the same problem. Swap it again, get another one, you'd have a perfectly fine lens. So, getting a specific unit that was good could often be trouble. Nowadays, things have improved a lot. The third party vendors are seeing the benefits of the digital photography explosion and the SLR proliferation and they've upped their game both in terms of build quality, consistency, reliability and in terms of the products they're designing.
Now in some cases, we're seeing third party lenses really take the lead in certain areas. For example, I have here. A Sigma 18 to 35 1.8 zoom. This is the first 1.8 zoom in existence. You can't get a zoom lens this fast from Canon or Nikon. And it's an extremely good lens. The build quality is exceptional. Image quality is fantastic and the functionality is amazing, especially if you're using a cropped frame camera. This is a great focal length for a cropped frame camera.
And having that extra speed buys you some of that shallow depth of field that you lose from having a smaller sensor. So this is a very, very smart niche for Sigma to be hitting. It's something that's not matched by one of the brands and they've managed to produce a really good lens. Another very nice lens, if you're looking for a wide angle, the Tokina 11 to 16. When you're considering any of these lenses, you want to go through the same process that you would go through when looking at a brand lens. Image quality. How's the sharpness? How's the sharpness across the frame? Is there distortion? Meaning do I look all fisheye, or do I look all pinched? Is there vignetting in the corners? Is there really bad flare? All those things you would address on a branded lens, are the same things you need to look at here.
You also want to consider build quality, you also want to look for those features you would look at in a branded lens, such as image stabilization. And, you don't just want to look to see if they have it, you want to check out some reviews on whether the stabilization is any good. There are a lot of different stabilizing technologies. Some companies have more effective stabilization than others. I mentioned before the option of using a lens from a different mount. So I have here a very nice Olympus 12 260. This is a two eight to have four. I can adapt to this to work on my Canon camera with the appropriate adapter.
And, in some cases, depending on the adaptor and the nature of the lens, not give up any functionality. In other cases, I might give up auto focus or some automatic metering. That's easy enough to research and find out. So, the short of it is yes, third party lenses are absolutely something you should be considering. You can get in many cases lenses that are an equivalent quality to branded lenses for less money, and in some cases get fantastic lenses that you cannot get from your camera vendor. Really the way to dig into this is you've got to look for specific lens reviews and really hit some good analysis of those critical features that you look at any time you're shopping for a lens.
