The 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 ("28-300", for short) is an all-around excellent lens for probably every possible occasion, despite its relatively heavy weight. This is the reason why you pay for Nikon glass over other brands, and why it's worth it. . First of all, this lens is fairly heavy, and if you walk around with this lens attached to the camera, moreso with the camera's relatively thin neck-strap, you'll feel its weight around your neck, and probably instinctively (as I've done and still do) cradle the lens with one hand to bear some/most of its weight to take some of it off of your neck. The advantage is that this one lens can replace several lenses, and obviate the need to carry any additional lenses, or worse, a second camera-body plus lens, if you do that to not need to hot-swap lenses on-the-fly. In fact, the only likely need for any additional lens would be for ultra-wide shots or specialty uses (extremely fast lens for low-light action shots, etc.). The only other lens I carry in my bag is the feather-light but optically superb 18-55mm kit-lens that came with my D3000, when I want wide landscape shots. . This is a full-frame (FX) lens, so it can be used on any DX/FX body, including film(!), not just DX bodies such as my D3000 or D7000. That 1.5x crop factor makes it effectively a 42-450mm lens on DX bodies. That being said, I can't gauge corner-to-corner sharpness, color-fringes, or vignetting, so I'll leave that to those who have an FX/full-frame camera body to test. But on even DX cameras, optical quality is amazingly crisp and clear. . I have a sample shot of a dragonfly, shown first as-is, simply resized to 800x536 for easy comparison, and second as a 100% crop (also to 800x536) of some extraordinary detail. Both photos are, other than the aforementioned resizing and cropping, respectively, right out of the tin, *ZERO* post-processing. No adjustments, sharpening, *ANYTHING*. Note the detail around the bug's face, the probably 1-pixel-wide "hairs". The (handheld) shot was taken approximately 3' away at full-zoom of 300mm, f/8, ISO-400, 1/400sec, -0.3EV compensation, on my lowly D3000. Graininess at ISO-400 on my D3000 is readily apparent in the 100% crop, but that's due to the 3k's sensor, *not* the lens. With the amazing clarity of this lens, you can take shots and crop-zoom the shot to unheard-of extremes to make, say, a shot of a full moon look as if it were taken at 1000mm or more. . For most peoples' uses, taking photos of friends, kids, dogs, parties, plus the occasional landscapes, close-ups of flowers, etc., the kit-lens which comes with the camera, such as the 18-55mm which comes with the D3000, or 18-105mm which comes with the D7000, will cover the majority of those shots admirably. But I chase birds around, and while I still love the 55-200mm telephoto which I also got with my 3k as an add-on, I just wanted a little more "reach". I considered various lenses, but I was sold on the review of the 28-300 by a rather well-known person, and decided to get one. . Again, aside from those infrequent wide-angle landscape shots I'd want (where the feather-light 18-55 fits in wonderfully), the over 10:1 zoom range of the 28-300, to me unheard of, would and should cover probably all my shooting needs. And I absolutely was not disappointed. In fact, it serves so many shooting types, from fairly wide-angle landscapes, to extreme zooms of distant objects and critters, to all types of pseudo-macro shots of buds and bugs. It became my default carry-with lens at all times, despite the weight. The 18-105 kit-lens of the 7k is so much lighter, even with its nearly 6:1 zoom ratio, but for the sheer utility of the 28-300, I gladly lug around all that extra weight. . VR2 is, in a word, fantastic. I recently took some rather long-distance skyline shots between 100mm and 120mm, and even at 1/4sec handheld shots (!!), was able to get some astoundingly steady shots that looked almost as if taken on a tripod when viewed fullsize, ie, at the pixel-level. Granted, it took a dozen or so shots and cherrypicking the steadiest shots of the lot, but just that it was possible at all was and is amazing. I haven't taken statistical samples of how many stops improvement I gain, but 2-3 full stops is easily achievable. . Action is universally smooth, from zooming from one extreme to the other, to the focussing ring when focussing manually. The 28mm lock does come in rather handy when the lens dangles downward hanging around your neck. With jiggling, it can "zoom in" (ie, extend towards 300mm) on its own from its own weight and become a pendulum, so the lock keeps the lens in-place when fully retracted. It may not be a necessity, but it is a nicety. I've gotten to use it similar to a car's parking-brake, engaging it out of habit, and it becomes second-nature in short order. . Distortion such as barrelling and pincushioning are there, but largely negligible and unnoticeable, at least on a DX camera, even at either extreme of the zoom range. Unless you routinely take photos of picket fences or brick walls, you're unlikely to notice any of either kind of distortion, even if looking for it. . Autofocus speed depends largely on the camera, I imagine. It's acceptable on my 3k, and would sometimes hunt in the wrong direction if the 3k got confused, but is spot-on and scary-fast on my 7k. . All in all, the 28-300 is a fairly heavy lens but well worth the extra weight if you want or need "reach" out to 300mm, and don't want to carry a second lens for wider shots, or v/v if you have your kit-lens but don't want to carry a second lens such as a 70-300 for longer-distance shots. The 18-200 might suit your needs as a do-all single lens solution if you don't need that 300mm reach, but if you do, the 28-300 is perfect as a single daily-carry lens. And if you still need something for those wider shots, the feather-light and optically-superb 18-55 is perfect, else consider a 10-24 or some low-mm prime lens to throw in your pocket. Whatever you'd decide, if you get the 28-300, you'll very soon wonder how you ever got along without it. . The ability to go from a 28mm wide-angle "Wow, what a gorgeous sunset!" shot to a 300mm extreme-zoom "Look at that bird!!" shot with just a split-second flick of the wrist, instead of having to grubble through your bag and then swap lenses -- and more than likely miss the shot completely -- is priceless. . And again, see my sample shots, taken on a "lowly" D3000, high-ISO grain and all from the 3k's sensor notwithstanding, for an example of the kind of crisp shots you can get, even when viewed at the pixel level. Individual hairs on the bug's face are easy to distinguish, barely a pixel-wide each. The more I try to push this lens to its limits, the more impressed with it I become. . Sadly, camera bodies become obsolete or at least obsolescent in just a few years as features improve, but lenses are an investment that will last the better part of a lifetime, and a lens which does as much as this one does and covers such a wide zoom-range (almost 11:1) and has so many uses, and has such incredible optical quality, is well worth that investment to make this a do-all carry-with lens, probably the only lens you'd even need to carry, as long as its extra weight doesn't become an issue.

This lens has average optical quality, but if stopped down to about f/5.6 or f/8, the quality improves a lot more. Smooth zoom action and fast auto focus response. VR works well. Some users find the lens heavy, but I do not. If lens is used carefully and properly, it is a very good all purpose lens. Good travel lens.

Great lens for a great camera
By Allan
from Maryland
I bought this lens when I upgraded from a D90 to the D800 a few months ago. I had been using the 70-300 lens on my D90, and loved it. I researched a lot before buying this lens, and had some concerns about distortion, but decided to buy it for the versatility -- and at the time I did not have a macro lens, so I thought this would be a good substitute. I have not been disappointed. I've taken several thousand shots with this lens, and have since acquired a macro (the 105mm micro Nikkor). Surprisingly, I actually prefer this lens for some macro shots -- particularly moving insects that will not stand still for me to get close with the 105mm lens. There was some adjustment with the FX camera, since the DX D90 multiplies the magnification by 1.5,and I was used to getting more magnification. However, with the D800's 36MP, I can crop and magnify much more than the DX multiplication factor with no loss of resolution at all. There is no more distortion at 28mm than I had at 18 mm on my D90's 18-105 kit lens (which is very little), and I find the pictures at 300 mm to be as sharp as I was getting at 300mm with the 70-300 zoom. The really great thing about this lens is its versatility. When I travel, I no longer have to carry a macro, a close zoom, and a long-range zoom. And I no longer have to change lenses, which reduces sensor dust and saves a tremendous amount of time (and risk of breaking or damaging a lens) changing lenses. I do like the 105mm macro, and it is fantastic for things that I can get close to; but its depth of field is not as good as the 28-300mm lens at the same aperture, and the 6x 300mm advantage is worth having when I don't want to, or can't, get close to the subject. I am sure that the 105mm lens is sharper, but I really cannot tell the difference in practice. It's actually easier to hand-hold the 28-300 up close than the 105, and it focuses a little easier. Since Nikon no longer makes a micro zoom, this is the best alternative. And it is also great at long range at full zoom. I've read several pros who do not like zoom lenses and who talk about framing by walking. That's fine for some situations, but the zoom is by far my preference. Being able to go from wide angle to telephoto with a quality lens on a quality camera means a lot to me. I have hundreds of pictures that are pro quality though I am not a pro, and even though it's the photographer who makes good pictures, the equipment certainly helps! Last but certainly not least, the price is great considering the versatility and range of the lens. Great going, Nikon!

Defective product
By MWreview
from San Francisco, CA, USA
I have just returned my new 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR for a refund. My experience was so disappointing I asked for a refund rather than a replacement while I reconsider any further investment in Nikon. When the lens arrived I very carefully attempted to attach it to my D700. There was resistance and I thought I must have the threads misaligned, and was concerned I might be cross threading my equipment. I even more carefully removed the lens from the camera â€" examined both pieces very carefully - and even more carefully reattached them â€" it was not a smooth attachment as with my other 4 premium Nikon lenses, (count 1). Once attached, I decided to try it out. I was most disappointed on three additional counts: 1. Auto focus was hit or miss. By this I mean auto focus did not work on a high percentage of attempts. 2. I could achieve focus manually, but on occasions the camera would not fire even when focused manually. 3. My images were not sharp â€" they were fuzzy. When I removed the lens from the camera I had the same uneasy, noisy experience â€" the action was very rough as if the threads were not aligned correctly. The Nikon lens sent to me was a dud in every regard â€" and whether Nikon has a QA problem is for them to determine, but this defective piece of expensive, precision equipment is unacceptable and very disappointing.

An all-range high quality lens
By OLA71
from El Paso, TX, USA
I've been with Nikon since 1993 and for the first time we now have a "full range� zoom for FX format (the 35mm for the old days). What I like is that this lens comes well when you want to "travel light� and you don't want to bring all your gear. (If you are a pro or semipro). If you are an advanced amateur is the best option in FX. (You have another options in DX. The internal motor is both silent and fast and the VR feature allows you to take sharp pictures even at 1/125 sec at 300mm hand taken! (With a still subject). The range is very flexible in you can go easy from a group photo at 28mm to a close up just with a few hand movements. My only concern is that if you try portrait the depth of field is high so is not easy to get blurred backgrounds compared vs. the f/2.8 options (80-200mm & 70-200mm) An advantage is that the filter size is 77mm so if you already have pro series gear you can use the Circular Polarizer and the rest of the filters, you really save money with this. What I dislike is the fact that the lens "expands� as you move from 28mm to 300mm. I prefer the ones that are with a fixed length. Since I can remember all the Nikon (ED rated) are simple the best in class. The colors are true and the definition and sharpness always at the top. They worth the extra bucks! Conclusion, If you are someone interested to jump to the "FX-big format� this is a very good start. And for the pros, this lens is very versatile and still keep many of the features and advantages of the pro gear without sacrificing too much. (speed and depth of field).

The most versatile lens in Nikon world
By fnu brawijaya
from Jakarta, Indonesia
I have this lens for over a year, about one month after it has released. This lens is so versatile that I make it to my top best 10 Nikon lens. The first time my friend showed off his lens during one of our photo huntings. He point the lens at about 30cm (1ft) to my face and showed the result on his D3s camera at 300mm. The image is so sharp. Okay, I write it again: 300mm at a distance of 30cm (1ft)!! I was sold immediately and when I got back to my town, I ordered one for me. I have brought this lens to several countries, together with 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8, 16mm fisheye, 35mm f/1.4 as my usual whole setup for photo huntings. This lens is however always on my D4 almost all the time. To give you guys the importance of this lens to me, I have almost all recent Nikon lenses up until 400mm f/2.8 VR (except 24mm f/1.4 and 200 f/2), but 28-300mm is the best lenses for me, and for all Nikonians in my photo club. I wrote a little list of my best 10 Nikon lenses in my personal website (no commercial site) http://www.fnubrawijaya.com/berita-153-my-nikon-10-best-lenses.html. I apologize for my broken English. Oh yes, I am more in landscape and street/human interest photography. It is important to have two kind of interest to make our photo hunting worth every time (you cannot take photos during rain).

Great clear pleasure
By Domguyanais
from On travel, actually Mayotte, french island with coral barrier.
Had this lens on the famous D800. Was a big pleasure to shoot in Paris, at tourists having fun in parks . The lens is clear , enough even at 300 mm . For travel its making the majors pics you have to do. Not so heavy and no heavy work to change lens according to the subject. If not satisfied by the accuracy, just work a bit with your laptop and all becomes well. I just need a wide angle beside, i will choose the wonderfull 16 35 VR. Weight will be all right for having a walk and good shoots ! DD.

Much better than expected!
By MO
from Canada
Most reviews indicate an extremely useful all around lens with average optical quality. Well, I might have got a good number because the detail obtained on both a D300 and a D800 is impressive, quite superior to the results obtained with 18-200mm, regardless of the camera pixel count. The lens was reported as soft at 300mm. Not mine, which I found at par with the 80-400mm. The VR system appears to be better than the one of most of my lenses. In addition, at 300mm, the lens gives excellent results in the macro range, with an impressive working distance. Fantastic for insects!

Nikkor 28-300mm Zoom
By Freddie
I read many reviews on this lens before buying it and I'm happy to say I love the lens. I'm using it with a Nikon D800 and either do the lens correction through the camera menu option or via Photoshop ACR. The lens correction function helps minimize or eliminate CA, vignetting, pincushion, and barrel distortion. I've found the lens to be very sharp with the D800 ---- perhaps a more expensive lens would be sharper, but I'm very happy with the sharpness. I've actually done some indoor shots (without flash) using the VR function and Auto ISO with the ISO ranging from 1200 to 1800. The focus was fast and accurate and sharpness was excellent. Even at 1/30th second, f/8, and ISO 1800 the results were great without a tripod. I try to use the lens at f/5.6 or f/8 since that's where the lens seems to perform best. Most lenses don't perform well wide open, so stopping down roughly two stops is usually a good idea. I haven't tried the lens for action photos, but suspect it's not optimal for that kind of shooting ---- that's not to say you can't use it for that. However, you'd probably be better off using a faster lens like the more expensive f/2.8 70-200mm Nikkor. For what I do, the 28-300 is great. I'd recommend it for general photography and as a convenient extended range zoom for scenic work. My current lens lineup is a 10.5mm f/2.8 DX fish-eye, 16-35mm f/4 VR, old 35-70mm f/2.8, old 85mm f/1.8 manual focus, 50mm f/1.4, and the 28-300mm ----- all Nikon optics. The Nikkor 28-300mm lens isn't perfect, but after a few weeks of use I'd recommend this lens. The only negatives I can think of are the slightly heavy weight, the relatively slow f/3.5 maximum aperture, and the inferior lens hood (it doesn't stay in place and can easily come off the lens).

Excellent FX travel lens
By Longstanding Nikon enthusiast
from Litchfield County, CT, USA
Altho' a tad heavy, this is a reasonably compact and very versatile lens that is ideal for travel photography with a D800. No longer do I have to carry multiple lenses when touring with limited time and space; I still carry my AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 for the extreme wide-angle perspective. Among often unmentioned assets is that it uses 77mm filters, the same size used with many of Nikon's best lenses (eg, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8). At its focal-length extremes, it's not quite as sharp or as free from aberrations as one might like, yet its versatility and generally very good image quality make this a fine product.

OK all around lens.
By Graywoodworking
from Merrimack, NH, USA
Compact and light weight compared to my 24-70 f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8. This makes it a nice all around lens for traveling. I took it to Hawaii and got some nice shots. However, there is vignetting and some distortion that need to be corrected in post processing. The bokeh is not as nice as my 70-200VR. I don't believe it is a 300mm lens. Photos taken with my 70-200, at 200mm, look identical to this lens at 300mm. So, if you're looking for a nice 28-200mm lens that's light weight and you don't mind the slow glass, then this is a decent lens.

It's still early to take the measure of Obama administration's trade policy. The
new U.S. Trade Representative, Ron Kirk, has not even been in office a month.
From his statements and those of President Obama during the campaign, though, we
do know they intend to emphasize aggressive enforcement and fair trade. These
emphases are intended to contrast with the approach of the Bush administration.
But all of this begs a question: how do we know that trade is unfair now?
One way is to tally up objectionable actions by our trading partners. This is
what USTR has just done with the National Trade Estimate. This list of barriers
can then be pursued through complaints under existing trade agreements or
through new agreements, depending on whether or not the actions are covered. But
that's pretty much what the Bush administration did.
The other approach was clearly stated by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) as part
of a confirmation question to Ambassador Kirk:
"Last year was the fourth consecutive year in which the U.S. trade deficit in
goods exceeded $700 billion. That is an enormous sum…. The trade deficit has
been in large part caused and exacerbated by the unfair tactics of our trading
partners…. Are you committed to stronger and more effective enforcement of our
laws against unfair trade to address the root causes of this imbalance?"
Under this approach, trade imbalances are evidence of foul play on the part
of our trading partners. To the credit of Ambassador Kirk and his staff, he cast
doubt on this reasoning in one of his written answers:
"The overall trade balance of the United States reflects important
macroeconomic factors, such as relative rates of economic growth, fiscal and
monetary policies, patterns of saving and investment, domestic price levels and
exchange rates."
Now that Kirk is safely tucked into the Winder Building, we can say that this
answer would have been embraced by economists in the Bush administration and in
academia more generally. But large trade deficits have been central to demands
for change in trade policy, and these two quotes set out very different visions
of what drives them. One side argues that unfair trade barriers are the root
cause, while the other points to macro variables.
To sort this out, a little background can help. The broadest measure of the
trade balance, known as the current account, must exactly offset the balance of
financial transactions (the capital account). If we send $100,000 abroad to buy
a shipment of DVD players, there are only a couple things that can ultimately
happen with that money. It can find its way back to buy U.S. goods, in which
case exports and imports offset and there is no current account imbalance. Or it
can be held abroad as cash, or turned into stocks, bonds, or a lovely assortment
of mortgage-backed securities. These would all serve as IOUs and would show up
on the capital account. In that case, there would be a current account deficit
(the value of the DVDs) and an offsetting capital account surplus (the value of
the mortgage-backed securities).
Since this is an accounting identity, it's pretty uncontroversial. The
controversial part comes when we talk about cause and effect. We can tell two
different stories. A "Stabenow Story" might go like this: other countries
distort trade through subsidies and barriers. As a result, the United States
runs up a large current account deficit and then needs to borrow money to
finance that deficit by selling stocks, bonds, and the like.
Alternatively, a "Finance First Story" might go like this: broad
macroeconomic variables like consumption, savings, government spending, and
investment determine how much a country borrows or lends on world capital
markets. Exchange rates adjust so that net borrowers run current account
deficits while net lenders run current account surpluses. This would happen even
in the complete absence of tariffs, quotas, or subsidies.
Which version we believe makes a big difference. If it's the Stabenow Story,
then USTR has its work cut out attacking the deficit, even if it means souring
relations with trade partners as we hit them with enforcement actions. If it's
the Finance First Story, then it's not the job of Kirk to address the trade
deficit, but rather that of Treasury Secretary Geithner, who might discuss
global macro imbalances at the upcoming IMF Spring Meetings, or perhaps a task
for OMB Director Orszag with his plans for trillions of dollars of federal
borrowing across the next decade.
It would certainly be helpful to know which story is right. The problem is
that usually all the variables are moving at once. We could see which story
rings true–if only we had a time when trade policy held still and macro
variables moved sharply…
Well, actually, we're in luck. Over the course of the current crisis, incomes
and consumption have been fluctuating wildly (downward). Despite some
unfortunate protectionist moves–mostly symbolic–the overall level of trade
barriers in the world has not changed significantly. Under the Stabenow Story,
the trade deficit shouldn't have changed much, either. Under the Finance First
story, we could expect some big swings.
It was announced last week that in the first two months of 2009, the U.S.
trade deficit in goods and services fell almost in half from the same period a
year earlier, from $121 billion to $62 billion. There have been similarly large
changes in countries like Japan. This would seem to support the Finance First
story. It would also seem to belie claims that growing trade deficits imply job
losses. The logic behind those arguments also implies that shrinking trade
deficits bring job gains. In fact, as the U.S. trade deficit halved, we lost
4.25 million jobs.
One enthusiastic congressman recently called for the United States to use a
sledgehammer to address its trade deficit problems. Before we do so, we should
figure out whether we're dealing with a nail or a screw.

Cyberinsurance may cover damage of computer woes
So far, some insurers are including coverage for basic problems in their general liability offerings, but most are asking customers who want significant coverage to pay for separate packages.
High-tech companies are the most likely to buy cyberinsurance in case their services or products fail their customers. But the insurance industry wants all companies with any sort of Internet connection to take out cyberinsurance, and the federal government is particularly hopeful that companies in industries traditionally considered utilities will buy it.

What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
By Peter King
The Rams will have a tough choice May 8. Should they take the best defensive player on the board (possibly Jadeveon Clowney) or boost the offense with Sammy Watkins or a top tackle? Our unsolicited advice for St. Louis, plus mail
Inundated with informationall of it questionableabout what Houston will do at No. 1, weve given the Rams short shrift with the second overall pick on May 8. I believe general manager Les Snead will take Jadeveon Clowney if Houston bypasses the South Carolina pass-rusher. But I dont believe thats what he should do.
I think Snead and coach Jeff Fisher should go offense here. Id go with Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins or one of the two top tackles, probably Greg Robinson of Auburn. But the Rams could take Watkins here, and with their second pick of the first round take the third- or fourth-best tackle in the cropMichigans Taylor Lewan or the experienced Zack Martin of Notre Dame (a 52-game college starter). Martin could easily move to guard for a year or two.
Watkins and Tavon Austin would give Sam Bradford the real chance a top quarterback prospect needs. And lets face it: Bradford still has to be considered a prospect. He hasnt arrived yet, after four seasons. He hasnt been the most durable playerhe has missed 15 of 64 starts with injuryand his 58.6 percent completion rate confirms he hasnt been the most accurate either.
The reason the Rams would be smart to address the offense early is simple: Theyll have a very tough time winning the NFC West without an offensive upgrade. They might get lucky and win it once, but the consistency of offensive play just isnt there. In the past six meetings against the cream of the division, Seattle and San Francisco, the Rams have scored 9, 9 and 13 points (against Seattle) and 13, 11 and 16 against the Niners. Thats 11.8 points a game against the teams you have to beat to win the division and just four touchdowns in six very important games.
If youre the Rams, do you want to rely on holding potent offenses to 10 points a game? Or do you want to give your team a chance to win when the defense has just a B-minus day? Right now, the Rams, with Tavon Austin and Chris Givens and Austin Pettis, have a passable receiver group. It would be sad if the team went 7-9 or something like that this year, and Bradford struggled, and the front office would have to make the call on keeping him or not next February. Theyd have to judge based on a good but not great group of wideouts. Adding Watkins to the mix would give Bradford no more reason to be mediocre.
On the line, Jake Long is being held together by baling wire at left tackle, and when will the Rams have a better chance to draft his successor than with the second pick in a line-rich draft? Taking another piece for the line could give the team Long and the prospect Joe Barksdale at tackle for the season, with Rodger Saffold and, say, Robinson or Martin inside for at least one year while they learn the pro game.
My feeling is based on the fact that the Steel Curtain of the mid-seventies Steelers comes along once in a generation. The Rams have Chris Long and Robert Quinn, a formidable rush duo. They need a much better offense more than they need a formidable rush trio.

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
I've been swayed. Do you think the non-mention of Kenny Britt was intentional? At this point in the mock draft/prediction game I am more curious if the Rams will trade #2 more than who they would pick if they stayed. Either way, Watkins or Robinson would clearly help the offense and chances of putting up actual threatening points against division opponents.
-04-22-2014 #3
Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
Thanks for sharing this Rambos. It states what I've been feeling about our offense all off-season, we need to put more points on the board. Whether we do it at #2 or slightly later based on a trade, it is essential that we add to our weaponry for Sam's sake. I am interested to see how the team intends to use Kenny Britt as he was signed for a reason, one that I'm not quite sure of right now.
If we go OT with Greg Robinson or Jake Matthews, I'm fine with that too. As Peter King's MMQB column states, this has been a torturous pre-draft process and it's going on too long. Just do it already. Also release the damn schedules. Stop trying to pick the perfect media opportunity. I think the people in the NFL offices trying too hard to make everything huge. Just do it the way things used to get done and stop trying to make everything momentous, you'll still make tons of money!
Go Rams!

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
Nice use of gif! But he states it very well. The offense we've put up against the whiners and the ducks won't get it done. There are too many questions around the OLine not to give it serious attention in this draft.
-04-22-2014 #8
Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
I guess having Sam Bradford back is not worth much according to most on this thread.
Seems to me that his healthy presence alone, makes us a better offensive team than we were last year.
Furtheremore, 21 points per game with a backup QB and a 5th round rookie RB leading the way, is not all bad IMO.
However, I expect Sam Bradford to increase the points per game average, by simply playing the kind of football that is more representative of a 5th year starter who was drafted number one overall.
Even if we didn't draft a single offensive player, I'd expect him to expand on what Kellen Clemens was able to do last year.
Meanwhile, as I've pointed out at least twice before, our defense is further behind the Superbowl champs (22 points allowed to 14 points allowed) than our offense (21 points per game to 26 points per game) is, even though we consider our defense the strongsuit of the team.
So in spite of the perception, it is the defense that must be addressed early on in the draft, IMO.
-04-23-2014 #9
Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
Our defense will be addressed in the draft but it has already had a huge upgrade in Williams over Walton. Adding a true FS would be the final piece to making this defense competitive.
Sam's presence will upgrade the offense but he lists 6 games vs the whiners and the ducks. Half of those low scoring outputs belong to Sam. Sam's return alone is not enough to off set the losses our OLine took in this off season. Our starting left guard is currently either Brandon Washington, who's been active for 1 game in his two year career. Or Barrett Jones, who was active for four games last year. I don't know that either took any snaps in game action. Meanwhile our best three OLinemen have missed a combined 37 games over the last three years. This perception that we can get away without adding talent to the OLine confuses me. We have to keep Bradford upright and we have to open holes for Stacy and Co. if we want to compete.

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
I'm fine with defense or offense. What I don't want to see is Clowney - that's the one place we don't have holes and the one pick that could be expected to translate into additional draft picks down the road. If Clowney is there, he's of far more use to us as trade bait than as the #3 end on the depth chart starting game 1 of 2014.
We have holes at OL, could use a #1 WR, need help in the secondary, and could stand to upgrade many other positions.
Even an extra high round #2 this year and the same next year is worth dropping a few spots for a team that really wants what we've already got. Pretty good chance Matthews is there at 6, maybe even at 8 if some the teams reach on QBs.
My personal druthers would be to spend on elite OL help and depth in the secondary.

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
I like the idea of drafting Watkins. My feeling is that we can't have enough weapons for Bradford especially in the very tough NFC West.
-04-23-2014 #12
Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
I think this is the year we see what type of team Fisher is going to build here. IMO we could go either way offense or defense they both need to be improved if we are to compete in the west sooner then later.
After two years and completely overhauling the roster this is the year Fisher can't hide his true intentions about what this team is going to be. Last year Fisher came out of character if you ask me. He moved up to get Tavon and let Shotty install the spread offense. I thought that Fisher must have conceded that this is the new NFL and the only way to win was to be pass happy. After week four he came back to his senses and changed the offense to a ball control run first pass second mentality and that was before Sam got hurt.
IMO all the signs are pointing towards the Rams becoming a defensive team. This year he changed the DC back to what he originally envisioned and he had to eat some humble pie to do it. He let go one of his favorite players he brought in, Cort to make sure we become better in the secondary. He has already added two first round defensive starters in the last two drafts and most would agree there is a good chance we will be adding at least one more this year, in the form of a cornerback or safety. The question I have, is he willing to go all in and add another elite DE or LB in Clowney or Mack as well to try to become a top five or better defense this year and for years to come.
I can't wait to see what he really wants us to be!

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
if clowney is there @ 2, theres no doubt we will trade with Atlanta, who want him bad..then hopefully we can get either Watkins or robinso @ 6

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
Here is a clue on which way we will go.
Les Snead
Snead admits that after last offseason's much-needed infusion of speed, the Rams weren't quite sure what kind of team they would become. But after the bad start, coach Jeff Fisher figured it out.
"Those games led Jeff to going, 'You know what, here's how I know to win games. We're going to play really good D, we're going to run the football, we're going to do play-action pass and we're going to win games,'" Snead says. "That's our identity now. It doesn't mean we're just going to ground and pound. What it means is we're going to build a team that can run, and that's going to make the passing game better."

Re: What to do at No. 2? - Peter King
Fans assume that when Zac Stacy entered the line-up, things were better. But Stacy's running numbers are pretty pedestrian. Stacy rushed 250 times and averaged 3.9 yards per carry on the ground. Prior to the bye week, Stacy rushed for 537 yards at 4.16 yards per carry. After the bye, he rushed for 436 yards on 3.6 yards per carry. In the final four games of the season, Stacy rushed for only 3.08 yards per carry on average.
Now, getting injured players back is going to help the offense. But we shouldn't be naive enough to think that that's going to make a huge difference. Having Sam Bradford under center didn't stop the Rams from starting the season 1-3, and while the Rams looked great beating up the lowly Jaguars and Texans in Weeks 5-6, the Bradford and Stacy led Rams struggled against a playoff caliber Panthers team.
We've spent most of the last three seasons saying, "Man, if Bradford only had some help." Now the Rams have a chance to give him an elite blind side tackle for perhaps the rest of his career, and we're going to pass because the argument now is that Sam returning should be enough? Really?
If the Rams want to control a game by running the ball, then they're going to need to make improvements up front to help get that done. Their starting left tackle and right guard are injuries waiting to happen. There is no legitimate starting left guard on this team. Their starting center is pedestrian, and their starting right tackle is a promising question mark.
Take Matthews or Robinson, plug either of them in at left guard or right tackle until they're ready to take over for Long on the left side. The line is instantly improved by their addition, and the most important spot on the line is secure for years to come.

Stayed here for a few nights with friends. Got in late on the first night due to our flight being delayed. No problems checkin into the rooms. However after a long day travelling all I wanted was a beer, but the bar was closed. The staff however did offer to drive us to a 7/11 to get some drinks. And they were fine with us diving in the pool even though it was almost 1am, so long as we kept the noise down, which was fine.
The rooms themselves were nice and comfortable. We were sharing between friends, so only had Singles beds, but they were very comfortable. All rooms had Air-con, and a fridge which came in Handy. The outdoor bathrooms were nice as well.
The staff were very Friendly. And Mae, I think the manager and tour organiser lady, was more than helpful suggesting things for us to do, and organising transport when we needed it.
The few issues I had with the hotel were, as someone else has also said, the menu on the website was different when we arrived to what It was when we booked months before. Something in line with adding a yoga/wellness retreat to the resort. So the menu was very limited. The other issue was the location. It was nice being away from the busier areas, but to get to other areas it was quite far, and there is a not a lot around the resort at all. Which is fine if you just want to chill by the pool all day as there isnt much else to do. Even swimming in the ocean out the front of the resort wasnt an option as the tide goes out for hundreds of meters, and it is basically mud.
While it was a comfortable and value for money hotel, I wouldn't stay there again, and would go to the other side of the island where the beaches are anda few more things to do.

French Dip Recipe
5 38
For a sandwich with more pizzazz than the traditional French dip, give this recipe a try. The seasonings give the broth a wonderful flavor, and the meat cooks up tender and juicy. This new version will soon be a favorite at your house, too. —Margaret McNeil, Germantown, Tennessee
- 1 beef chuck roast (3 pounds), trimmed
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 to 4 whole peppercorns
- 8 French rolls, split
- Place roast in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the water, soy sauce and seasonings. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until beef is tender.
- Remove meat from broth; shred with two forks and keep warm. Strain broth; skim fat. Pour broth into small cups for dipping. Serve beef on rolls. Yield: 8 servings.

Item 729095
Velveteen Burgundy Fabric
Product Actions
Additional Information
Elegant and stylish, this Velveteen material has been hand selected to be in our Special Occasion section. Made with 100% cotton dyed velvet material, the delicate look is preserved through a dry clean only care method. Measuring 44/45" in width, the fabric is ideal for multiple fashioned apparel items. Available in an assortment of colors.
Bolt Size Average: 10 Yds.
Made in China
Velveteen Burgundy Fabric is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 1 out of 5 by KrisTX from Not true to color pictured I was disappointed when this arrived because it was not only a stiff texture (I now wish I would have made the drive to feel this fabric as I would not have purchased it had I known how much it lacked softness), but it was way too red (I would say closer to Crimson) to pass for the burgandy I needed for my project. The online photo matched what I was looking for perfectly, but is very different in person. I am hoping I can return it to the closest store location, as I cannot see myself finding a use for this otherwise.

Oh my... Let's make it quick.
Wonder Guard allows only super effective moves to hit, because Shedinja is a bug/ghost, it's killed by rock, fire, flying (from bug's type) and ghost, dark (from ghost type) moves.
As Shadow Lugia is Dark/Ghost, it has no weaknesses and that's why no attacking moves would work if it
had a Wonder Guard...

For the hash browns: Mix together the creme fraiche and green onions in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Grate the potatoes using the large holes on a cheese grater. Heat half of the clarified butter in a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is lightly golden brown on both sides and infuses the oil with the flavor of the garlic, then remove and discard.
Toss the potatoes with the poppy seeds, salt, sesame seeds and some pepper. Add the potatoes to the pan and stir to coat with butter. Using a spatula, gently press the potatoes into a flat round, slightly smaller than the pan. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the edges are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Working carefully with some large, flat spatulas, flip the potato cake. Pour the remaining butter around the edges of the potato cake and continue cooking until potatoes are crisp on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool for a few minutes. Spread the top with the prepared creme fraiche and scatter the pickled onions over the top. Garnish with parsley leaves and cut into wedges to serve.

.. is there a plzicon of throwing up from too much cute?
cute, just cute. And holy cow, look how TINY Frankie is compared to Darryl!
They're either going to have the smartest nerdlettes or explode.
I'm not sure which.
I'm not sure which.
Awww I love them too
Tiny Frankie is tiny
I really love coloring on this one in particular. It has this simple, yet graceful feel to it. I think it's the line work: the thin, light sketch work goes wonderfully with the coloring.
Thanks; I was close to not giving it colour at all, because it would make it look even softer... but then it hit me, that this is Frankie... no colours on her is like no stripes on a tiger.
Very good artwork Simple and nice. Thanks for the picture
This is really adorable. I love the posing and colouring here.

Amanda Seyfried & Ryan Phillippe: Amika Club Couple
Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe return back to their hotel on Friday (April 8) in London, England.
Earlier in the evening, the couple enjoyed a night out at Amika nightclub, where they made separate exits and got a bit camera shy.
On Thursday, Amanda, 25, hit the red carpet for the European premiere of her latest movie, Red Riding Hood.
Amanda also made a stop in Paris a few days before, where Ryan, 37, had been promoting his flick, The Lincoln Lawyer.

The Derby was marked with joy and sadness yesterday–almost simultaneously. As the celebration for Big Brown's victory began, fans noticed that filly Eight Belles (finished second) had pulled a Dan Jansen and fallen to the track.
When the veterinary staff came to the scene, they realized how gruesome her injuries were.
From YAHOO SPORTS:
She had broken both front ankles and could not be saved…Dr. Larry Bramlage, the Derby's on-call veterinarian, said the filly's injuries were too severe to even attempt to move her off the track.
"She didn't have a front leg to stand on to be splinted and hauled off in the ambulance, so she was euthanized," Bramlage said.
Trainer Larry Jones paid tribute to his fallen filly saying, "She ran the race of her life."
Eight Belles was the first female horse to run in the Derby since 1999, and obviously the injury brings back memories of Barbaro from two years ago. But since this filly was put down right away, there's no chance of a You're Gonna Make It! campaign for Eight Belles, though that may not stop some of the maniacs that need any excuse to write a letter to a horse.

First time Timor Leste has introduced a new vaccine with GAVI support
Geneva, 25 October 2012 — Children in Timor Leste are set to receive protection from five major childhood diseases after the country's introduction of pentavalent vaccine as part of its national immunisation programme.
The first children received the five-in-one vaccine on Thursday at a ceremony held in the capital, Dili, hosted by the Timor Leste Health Minister Dr Sergio Lobo. The vaccine will be rolled out nationally in the coming weeks.
This new vaccine is important for our children...It is our responsibility as parents to safeguard the health of our children.
Taur Matan Ruak, Timor Leste President
"With GAVI support for pentavalent vaccine, Timor-Leste has the opportunity to vaccinate its children against five major killer diseases in one shot and significantly improve the health of communities across the country," said Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of the GAVI Alliance.
Timore Leste is the 63rd country to introduce pentavalent vaccine with GAVI support. It is also the first time Timor Leste has introduced a new vaccine with GAVI funding.
Timor Leste President Taur Matan Ruak added: "This new vaccine is important for our children. All parents should bring their children who are below 1 year old to the clinic for their children's complete immunization. A child is fully protected if the child goes to the clinic five times for immunization. It is our responsibility as parents to safeguard the health of our children."
Pentavalent vaccine offers protection against five major childhood diseases – diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, and haemophilus influenzae type b.

The Federal Reserve is likely to announce a third round of bond purchases tomorrow, according to almost two-thirds of economists in a Bloomberg survey, while also extending the duration of its zero-interest-rate policy into 2015.
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee will once again roll out unconventional policies to bolster economic growth of less than 2 percent in the second quarter and bring down unemployment stuck above 8 percent for 43 straight months, the survey showed.
Policy makers may forgo new bond purchases at this meeting to solidify a consensus on the issue among themselves or to better prepare the public for the move, said Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York.
Central bankers are also poised to extend until 2015 their forecast that economic conditions will probably warrant holding interest rates near zero through late 2014. Sixty-eight percent of economists surveyed expect an extension at tomorrow's meeting.

In response to Mr. Bado's reasoning in eliminating 2nd Amendment rights of lawful citizens, it is nothing more than a mainstream liberal media talking point regurgitation of misinformation. A couple points, first the 2nd Amendment is a right given to us by our God in Heaven, not some fraud government. Nobody can take that away from the citizens of the United States. Second, you make the claim that your view of what an assault weapon is is clearly wrong. California does not permit assault weapons to be sold in the state of California. The weapons you mistakenly claim to be assault weapons have been modified to be nothing more than really cool looking sporting rifles. They do not have functional magazine releases, they cannot be fit with magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammo and they do not have a bayonet lug. Those are the primary characteristics of an assault weapon. The current cool looking sporting rifle you refer to is California's number one choice for hunting and for target shooting. And they look really cool. I also see you reference Oakland and East LA. My, my, I was born in East LA in a time when it was a very safe area. My grandmother and I used to walk to Downtown LA to a drug store and enjoy their soda fountain. Those days appear to be gone forever. And for what reason? The following crime rates directly from the Chicago Police Department (murder capital of America which has outlawed guns) may shed a bit of light for the unenlightened average MSNBC Chris Matthews viewer:
White — 31.7 percent
Black — 31.4 percent
Hispanic — 32.4 percent
Asian — 7 percent
Murders in Chicago
White — 2.8 percent
Black — 75 percent
Hispanic — 21.8 percent
Asian — 0 percent
Clearly, we in this nation do not have a gun problem, we have a demographic problem brought on by liberal policies that direct these high crime cities, fatherless families, drugs, and general lack of any quality of formal education to pull themselves out of poverty. I look at this as a complete failure of the federal government and liberal policies that keep generational welfare intact in these morally diseased areas. In closing I am providing Mr. Bado a simplified version of the Bill Of Rights granted to Americans by our Founding Fathers, and no Mr. Bado, the Constitution is not a living, breathing document. It is set in stone for a reason, and that reason is to keep people like yourself and others from modifying the true intent in the founding of the United States of America. And that includes you also, Mr. Obama.
The Bill of Rights For Simple Minds:
1st Amendment — We can say whatever we want and believe whatever we want, and the government has no say in it.
2nd Amendment — We have the right to defend ourselves from the government and criminals using firearms.
3rd Amendment — Soldiers and policemen can't just bust into your house like they own the joint and crash there.
4th Amendment — Police can't just search people randomly, go through their stuff, ask for their papers, and all that business.
5th Amendment — The government can't just take stuff or lock people up without a trial.
6th Amendment — Trials have to be speedy and fair.
7th Amendment — People have a right to be judged by other folks who can understand them.
8th Amendment — Judges can't just straight up rip people off or do cruel and unusual stuff to them.
9th Amendment — Just because it isn't written down here, doesn't mean people don't have other rights.
10th Amendment — If the Constitution doesn't say that the government can do something, it can't do it. The people and the states have all the powers not otherwise given to the federal government.
