Just how far has Brandon Marshall's standing on the team improved over the course of the first half of the season?
Not only did team officials show that Marshall has regained their trust when they repaid the fines they had collected from the wide receiver earlier, coaches are showing that Marshall has earned their trust on the field too.
Marshall was in the lineup for the offense's first 34 snaps Sunday against Baltimore, not missing a play until the Broncos' first series in the third quarter. None of the Broncos' other receivers played for such consistent stretches.
Consider the first half of last Sunday's game: Marshall was in for all 30 snaps, while Eddie Royal lined up for 17, Jabar Gaffney 16 and Brandon Stokley 12. Tight end Daniel Graham was in for 20 of those snaps.
For Marshall, it's a remarkable difference from earlier in the season, when Marshall was still working his way out of coach Josh McDaniels' dog house. There was a stretch in the team's second game, against Cleveland, when Marshall stood on the sideline for 27 consecutive offensive snaps.
It might not make fantasy football players happy — with 33 catches for 356 yards, Marshall's production is down from his Pro Bowl pace of 2008 — but the more involved Marshall is in all facets of Denver's offense the better.

Talalay: Crist on the Marlins (Marlins Stadium Update No. 3,476)
Gov. Charlie Crist has always been supportive of the Marlins' effort to finance a new ballpark.
On Monday, the former general counsel of Minor League Baseball said the team ought to try asking the Legislature again for a $60 million sales tax rebate to help pay for a new home. In May, the team lost out on state funding for the sixth time in eight years when the Senate adjourned without considering the funding request, which had been approved by the House.
"Things have changed economically, so it might be a little more challenging under the current climate, but I would encourage them to try again," Crist said during a meeting of the Sun-Sentinel's editorial board. "I view it as an economic stimulant to any community that has a professional sports team."
Crist said repeatedly this spring that he views professional sports teams as an engine for economic development and a source of pride for a community. He dismisses the notion of teams not needing help because "it's millionaire players and billionaire owners."
"The help in my view comes for two things: people who work at the stadium, people who sell hot dogs, people who work in concession stands, people who work in the parking lots. The dovetail of economic opportunity," Crist said. "There's another part I think is important, too, what those teams do to a community, particularly when they win, and sort of a spirit that it develops. Look what happened when the Marlins won the World Series, not once but twice. I was down in South Florida on occasion. It's wonderful how it lifts the spirit of a community, and sometimes the state. And I think that's important. I want people to be happy, I want them to enjoy things like that and it can have the added benefit of being a tremendous economic engine for a community. I would encourage them to try again."

Husband: seems to have no interest in spending time with me. Weve been staying w my parents for 8mths, our baby is 41/2mths. there is always a house full of people so we never have time together. his parents come over on the weekends when he is off work so we do nothing together then either. ok, so my family went out of town for a week and his parents didnt come over so this was our first weekend to spend time just us. he was sleepy cause he stayed up all night so he wanted to sleep then his cuzs called wanting to come over so he got up and spent the entire day w them, they didnt leave till 11pm. maybe it was my imagination but they seemed to avoid me because they stayed outside most of the time knowing i couldnt take the baby out and when they were n the house they stayed in a different room. he spent no time w me or the baby. i stayd inside cleaning and takn care of the baby by myself like i do all week while hes working. maybe im selfish idk but i feel so alone.

Music Suits the Season On University Tower Chimes
|From now until Thanksgiving, University students will
hear Thanksgiving hymns mixed with other songs during the regular Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday 12:50 to 1:00 p.m. carillon concert.
Tom Anderson, carilloneur (bell ringer) extraordinary, tries to make the music suit the occasion whether its "The Marines Hymn" for Marine Corps birthday or "Old Black Joe" for Stalins funeral.
Tom started his University career in 1939 as an engineer, then switched to sacred music as a major. The war interrupted his education. He returned to the University in 1950 and started playing the carillon bells when his brother David left in the summer of 1951.
Tom has to transpose from one-third to one-half of his music, depending on what key it is written in. He selects his own program, except for an occasional request. One of his programs for special occasions caused quite a stir in several parts of the country. Tom played a special program at the time of Stalins death, consisting of Chopins "Funeral March," and "The Volga Boatman," "Old Black Joe," and "Massas in the Cold, Cold Ground."
The story of his unique program was printed in papers all over the country. Many people reading the story and not sensing Toms humor, wrote letters to state officials demanding an investigation of a university that is so pro-communist that it publicly mourned Stalins death.
The carillon bells were installed in November, 1935, before the Tower was completed. The 40,000-pound, $40,000 bells are arranged in three tiers in the section of the Tower enclosed by columns. The room containing the keyboard of the seventeen bells is located at the base of the columns on the northwest corner of the Tower. The organ-like keyboard is made up of seventeen wooden pegs and ten pedals. Five of the bells are equipped with extra outside clappers that are electronically controlled and strike the quarter hour. The hour peal is the famous Westminster peal, copied from the chimes in Westminster Abbey.
Daily Texan. November 18, 1953.

This silver-colored top perfectly fits the original C1220 frame you already have and looks just like the top that came with your initial purchase. There is no overhang with this replacement, so you get a streamlined, sleek look that many owners want. This top is ideal for people who have experience damage to their original top, whose top has gotten worn or frayed over time, or who just want to keep a replacement on hand to prevent any down-time should an accident occur.
No one wants to replace a piece of their favorite shelter. In this case, though, it isn't nearly the task you may think it will be. You can replace the canopy top easily, replace it quickly, and do it all for very little money if you invest in this King Canopy 12 x 20 Silver Cover for C1220 Model Canopies.

Why bullies are a good thing
Timothy Kincaid
April 16th, 2011
It can perplex us at times why strident anti-gay activists would oppose programs designed to reduce bullying. We see the destruction and death that result and think that surely any decent moral person would want to change that dynamic.
But Robert Knight provides us with insight as to why anti-gays not only refuse to join the campaign against bullying but actively oppose it.
Confronting bullies helps build character.
It isn't often that one sentence can be lifted from an essay and, on its own without any context, provide understanding into a worldview. But I believe this to be just such a sentence.
Bullies are good for kids. And as for those gay kids who were tormented to death… I guess they just didn't build character.
A Wackadoodle extravaganza
Timothy Kincaid
September 7th, 2010
In times past it hasn't been always easy to distinguish between the garden variety of conservative activist, and the wackadoodles. You had to pay attention; both held conservative positions, but some did so because of logic or principles or tradition or even hesitancy towards change while others came across as obsessed, irrational, or frankly (in some cases) insane.
For example a conservative may oppose President Obama's healthcare policies, but yet not believe that the President really was born in Kenya. He may favor controlled immigration policies without thinking that Hispanics are seeking to take over the Southwest and make it part of Mexico. She may oppose marriage equality and yet not declare that opposing the rights of gay people is the last best hope of saving Western Civilization from utter and immediate destruction.
But lately its becoming ever easier to distinguish between conservatives and raving loons on the right (and, yes, the left has their raving loons as well). In a somewhat unexpected move the conservatives and the wackadoodles seem to be sorting themselves out for our convenience and gay rights seems to be the determining factor.
Some conservatives have either dropped or repackaged their positions on gay issues, now stating objections to nomenclature or timing rather than just displaying animus towards gay people in general. Now it isn't gay people serving in the military that is concerning, but just waiting for reports and analysis and opinions. It isn't gay couples that are destroying society, but just the words used to describe them. Policies may not have moved significantly for all (but certainly have for some) but the language and the attitude has markedly changed.
Even gay and gay-supportive Republicans are not enemies seeking to destroy from within, but good Republicans with whom we disagree on some issues. In fact, rather than be RINOs, they may even be wives of Republican Presidents or nominees.
But while some conservatives have had a change of heart (or figured out which way the wind is blowing), others have abandoned all pretense of reasonableness and have run shrieking into crazyville. They see those who have moderated their position as traitors, and with each new act of treason they lash out at their newfound enemies and band closer with the purists, the true conservatives… oh what am I saying… the raging loons.
And now, in a display of what can only be seen as total meltdown, the wackadoodles have now broken from CPAC, the convention of very conservative ideologues, to form their very own extra-special-uber-conservative convention, the Taking America Back National Conference sponsored by World Net Daily. And I certainly hope there are enough red noses and clown shoes to go around.
Not just anyone is quite wackadoodle enough for this convention. They booted Ann Coulter for daring to speak to GOProud – a very conservative gay group which endorses politicians that Log Cabin would never get near. Although I think GOProud verges on loony themselves, they have Teh Gey!!
You see, hating Teh Gey is a very very important distinction for this wackadoodle extravaganza, and they aren't going to forgive anyone who does it by half. To get a sense of WND's purpose and criteria,
WND's "Taking America Back National Conference" in Miami, Sept. 16-18, was conceived and organized, in part, because of the conservative movement's capitulation to the radical homosexual agenda:
* The Conservative Political Action Conference welcomed GOProud as a co-sponsor of the largest annual gathering of conservatives this year. CPAC has already gleefully announced the return of GOProud as a sponsor next year – even though GOProud's inclusion cost the conference Sarah Palin and other top-notch speakers and some long-time co-sponsors.
* The executive director of CPAC is actively promoting GOProud's "Homocon" conference in New York later this month.
* Conservative leader Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, serves on the board of GOProud.
* One of the most well-established conservative media companies in America is run by a homosexual activist.
* Conservative celebrity Glenn Beck announced on Fox News that he doesn't believe same-sex marriage will hurt America.
* Conservative celebrity Ann Coulter agreed to deliver the keynote speech to GOProud's "Homocon" event in New York later this month – an engagement being shamelessly exploited by the group as further affirmation of its conservative bona fides.
While all of this was happening, there was no more than an undercurrent of conservative protest.
And why is this important? Remember that whole Western Civilization thing I mentioned? I wasn't kidding.
Because I don't believe there is any development that could more quickly destroy America's ability to remain a self-governing society and the very fabric of western civilization than the tacit acceptance of [pro-gay] ideas – ideas that are steamrolling over our political and media culture.
There is no compromising with radical ideas like this. They need to be soundly rejected, repudiated, exposed and discarded.
Yes, my friends, there is a growing separation between the conservatives and the true-blue wackadoodles. And they are ever so gracious as to let us know exactly where they stand. True most conservatives are not going to start championing our rights any time soon, but as this divide grows I believe that we will find fewer and fewer rational conservatives willing to be seen as part of the coalition of birthers and the conspiracy theorists and the wild-eyed loons.
In addition to the WND staff and few obscure politicians, the wackadoodle extravaganza includes:
Michele Bachmann – US House of Representatives
Alan Keyes – political gadfly and onetime presidential candidate
Tom Tancredo – Former Congressman and illegal immigrant opponent
Chuck Missler – Koinonia House (post-prison) Ministry
Rusty Humphries – The Rusty Humphries Show
Matt Barber – Liberty Counsel
Gary DeMar – American Vision
Michael Farris – Home School Legal Defense Association
Robert Knight – Coral Ridge Ministries
Jerry Newcombe – Coral Ridge Ministries
William Federer – American Minute
William Murray – Religious Freedom Coalition
Doug Giles – Clash Radio
Gary Cass – Christian Anti-Defamation Commission
Judith Reisman – Freud revisionist
Victoria Jackson – Conservative Activist/Celebrity
RC Sproul, Jr. – Biblical Economics
Tim Daughtry – Patriot Coaching
Floyd Brown – ExposeObama.com
Mark Graham – First Founders Financial
And that, my friends, is a whole lotta crazy. I wonder if Brian Brown is going to join them.
Convicted Wall Street Felon To Speak At Peter LaBarbera's "Truth Academy"
Jim Burroway
August 4th, 2010
Peter LaBarbera's so-called "Truth Academy," which kicks off tomorrow, has an interesting lineup of characters. Among the invited speakers is Arthur Goldberg, of JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Healing — and what is an alternative to healing exactly? An alternative to something is something other than that something and not including that something, isn't it? Okay, I digress).
In 1989 Goldberg was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government. The conspiracy, in which he engineered a phony bond and investment scheme, netted him nearly $11 million in illegal fees. U.S. Attorney William O'Connor told the court at his sentencing that Goldberg's crime was "a fraud of spectacular scope."
More recently, one of JONAH's so-called "life coaches" was accused by two former clients of inappropriate sexual misconduct. Alan Downing, described as a lead therapist for JONAH and who is himself a so-called "former homosexual" who admits he is still attracted to men, essentially instructed his clients through a sort of strip tease as part of their so-called "therapy." Alternatives to healing indeed.
Speaking of frauds of spectacular scope, another speaker at LaBarbera's little confab is Cliff Kincaid, of "Accuracy in Media." Kincaid has vigorously defended Uganda's proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill which would impose the death penalty on LGBT people under certain circumstances, and would criminalize any one else knowing or providing services to gay people.
Other speakers include Robert Knight, Coral Ridge Ministries; Ryan Sorba, Young Conservatives of California; Prof. Rena Lindevaldsen, Liberty University Law School; Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel; Laurie Higgins, Illinois Family Institute; and Greg Quinlan, Parents and Friends of Gays and Ex-Gays.
Timothy Kincaid has a great rundown of the other speakers here.
Learn to be a Wackadoodle
Timothy Kincaid
June 9th, 2010
It looks like Peter LaBarbera is seeking to put more seats in his Wackadoodle Express and he's looking for fresh young bodies to fill them. Yes, the Peter has started a "school" and is now out recruiting children.
We're delighted to announce the debut of our ongoing "Americans For Truth Academy," designed to train young people (as well as older pro-family advocates) how to answer "gay" activist misinformation and fight the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda.
And from the folks he's lined up as "teachers", it's clearly a Wackadoodle School:
- Robert Knight, Coral Ridge Ministries
- Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality
- Ryan Sorba, Young Conservatives of California
- Prof. Robert Gagnon, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
- Prof. Rena Lindevaldsen, Liberty University Law School
- Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel
- Laurie Higgins, Illinois Family Institute
- Greg Quinlan, Parents and Friends of Gays and Ex-Gays
I could not have hand-picked a more extreme group than this one. Wackadoodles, one and all. But don't get your hopes up, this is a double triple super secret Wackadoodle School.
Prospective attendees will need to be approved with references; this is not open to pro-homosexual activists but only to those who share AFTAH's belief that homosexuality is immoral and that the GLBT movement is destructive to America and a direct threat to our religious freedom.
And what will they learn?
I know it's all secret-secret, but I've taken the liberty of imagining a syllabus.
Robert Knight may open off by sharing that Matthew Shepard is burning in Hell and then may go on to quote a little of Paul Cameron's work before defending racist and homophobic violence.
Matt Barber will teach them that homosexuality is one man violently cramming his penis into another man's lower intestine and calling it love. And Laurie Higgins will tell the kiddies that it is their Christian duty to support the culture of disapproval and condemnation towards their gay classmates.
Robert Gagnon will provide the scholarly religious perspective by insisting that because the gospels are actually a retelling of an earlier writing, therefore the Roman Centurion who asked Jesus to heal his "pais" was actually a Jewish administrator asking about his son… but any Scripture that might possibly condemn homosexuality is to be taken literally and applied as condemnation of today's gay and lesbian community. (Students may not wish to sit in the front, Gagnon is inclined to angry ranting.)
Next Greg Quinlan will give a personal touch by telling how he once was a homosexual but now he is a very heterosexual man who out of Christian conviction is living celibately since his wife divorced him. And Ryan Sorba will support him by declaring that reparative therapy is a proven success, regardless of what pro-sodomy activists say. Quinlan may also spend some time arguing that ex-gay is an orientation and that Disneyland is the devil's playground. (Students are advised not to ask questions to either of these presenters as they might incite confrontation and claim martyrdom.)
Finally Rena Lindevaldsen will give you secret tips on how kidnap the children of militant gay activists and flee the country to South America – all without a job or speaking Spanish – so as to make sure those children have a stable normal life.
And before breaking at the end of the weekend to return to fight the good fight, Peter LaBarbera will announce the much anticipated 2009 Grinch Award winners, followed by an exciting slide show of sodomites in action. This will have much nudity and will emphasize kink and S/M so it should be very stirring and uplifting. LaBarbera will be on hand to model the leatherman outfits he uses to infiltrate sex parties and to discuss in detail the exact mechanics of specific sexual acts for a select few; be sure to apply for this very special presentation.
Today In History: Rest In Peace
Jim Burroway
October 16th, 2008
Ten years ago today, family and friends were gathering in Casper, Wyoming, to say their final good-byes to Matthew Shepard. Earlier that morning, Matthew's parents, Dennis and Judy Shepard, met with reporters before the funeral for a very brief public statement. Choking back tears, Dennis said:
On behalf of our son Matthew Shepard, we want to thank the citizens of the United States, and the people of the world, who have expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to our family during these trying times. A person as caring and loving as our son Matt would be overwhelmed by what this incident has done to the hearts and souls of people around the world… We are honored and touched beyond measure…
Please understand and respect my family's request for a private and dignified farewell to our son today. Matt's family and friends, loved him deeply, and we need to share a quiet goodbye to him. Matt himself would have been the first to honor another family's request if this had happened to someone else.
We should try to remember that because Matt's last few minutes of consciousness on earth may have been hell, his family and friends want more than ever to say their farewells to him in a peaceful, dignified and loving manner.
By all accounts, Matt's funeral at St. Mark's Episcopal Church was peaceful, dignified and loving. Only selected friends and family were allowed to attend, in an attempt to keep the service quiet and private.
The scene outside the church was in equal parts dignified and circus-like. Crowds of mourners stood quietly in the gentle snowy weather to pay their respects, while police, reporters, photographers and satellite trucks buzzed around them.
A short distance away stood a contingent of protesters from Fred Phelps' notorious Westboro Baptist Church. They were there holding signs that read, "God hates fags," and "Matt In Hell." But they were surrounded and shielded from the church by counter-protesters — for want of a better word — who fashioned large white bedsheets into giant angel wings.
While Westboro's tactics were the most talked-about example of anti-gay extremism on display that day, they weren't entirely alone. Ten years ago today also saw Robert Knight's Family Research Council use the occasion of Matt's funeral to denounce Phelps — and to boast about their part in the ex-gay advertising blitz that had begun the day before Matt's murder. The FRC's statement condemned Phelps' tactics while sharing his message of condemning Matthew to hell:
While we share Mr. Phelps' opposition to the homosexual political agenda, his belief that homosexuality is a sin, and his call for punishment of Mr. Shepard's killers, we do not endorse his tactics, and have asked his group to stop letting themselves be used by the media to crudely caricature Christians.
The 'truth in love' media campaign reaches out to people struggling with homosexuality and offers them hope for change and redemption. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, homosexuals are included in a list of sinners, who, if unrepentant, will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ten years have passed since Matthew Shepard has been laid to rest. Where are we at today?
One thing is undeniable. We've made great strides in changing how people view LGBT people. More people are "out" than ever before, living openly for the most part in relative safety.
And yet, too many things still haven't changed. It is still legal to fire people from their jobs for being gay. Marriage rights are only secure right now in one state. Wyoming is one of twenty states which still does not have a hate crimes law to cover sexual orientation. And the federal hate crime statute still covers race, religion, and national origin — but not sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
Yet official statistics continue to show that when hate crmes do occur against LGBT people, those crimes are more likely to be violent crimes when compared to other classes which are already protected.
In these ten years since Matthew's death, we have continued to lose countless lives — singled out simply for who they were. We've lost Brandon Teena, Danny Overstreet, Phillip Walstead, Amancio Coralles, Satendar Singh, Scotty Joe Weaver, Daniel Fetty, Steven Domer, Roberto "Poncho" Duncanson, Sean Kennedy, Angie Zapata, Michael Sandy, Simmie Williams, Jr., and Lawrence King — just to name a very few.
As Judy Shepard has said on the tenth anniversary of her son's death, so much has changed. Yet so much remains the same.

The defense of homophobic violence that started with an article by Ted Pike on David Duke's virulently racist and anti-Semitic website has now been taken by Peter LaBarbera to his fellow anti-gays: Concerned Women for America (CWA)'s Matt Barber, and Bob Knight of the Culture and Media Institute.
Bob Knight and Peter LaBarbera are old friends from when they were part of Concerned Women, but I really don't know if either Barber or Knight also share Pike and Duke's racist and anti-Semitic agenda. They may just have been brought into the alliance by LaBarbera.
Dark Clouds In the Sunshine State
Jim Burroway
September 21st, 2007
I'm in Tampa, and it's been nice and sunny today. But instead of heading to the beach, I've been spending my day in nearby Brandon attending the Family Impact Summit where the skies are considerably darker.
In case you haven't heard, our country has been lead by principalities and powers. They are rich, they are powerful, their leaders make hundreds of thousands of dollars from their activism. "We have to stand up against an evil agenda. It is an evil agenda and it will take anyone captive that is willing, or that is standing idly by," Alan Chambers said as he neared the conclusion of his talk.
All of that was just from Alan Chamber's talk this morning. It was interesting to hear him before a very different audience: it wasn't CNN, and it wasn't in front of "strugglers" at Love Won Out or the Exodus Freedom Conference. This was in front of culture warriers, on a panel called "The Homosexual Agenda," with fellow panelists Robert Knight (Media Research Center), Peter Sprigg (Family Research Council), and Chris Stoval (Alliance Defense Fund).
And that is just scratching the surface of what I saw at the Family Impact Summit. It's been a long day, and I have another full day tomorrow. But stay tuned. I'll have so much more to share once I catch my breath.
Do These Folks Agree With Cameron's "Solution"
Jim Burroway
May 14th, 2007
Dr. Warren Throckmorton has also posted about Paul Cameron's disturbing views expressed in Cameron's article, "Gays in Nazi Germany." Dr. Throckmorton concludes:
Suffice to say that Dr. Cameron is not simply ideologically opposed to homosexuality, he is fixated on "solutions" that I find abhorrent. I call on fellow social conservatives who still refer to the Camerons' work to take a hard look at these posts and reflect on whether someone with such extreme animosity could possibly approach social science data with sufficient objectivity to be trusted.
When Ex-Gay Watch pointed out that Exodus was using Cameron's research, Exodus finally responded by removing those web pages from their web site. On the other hand, NARTH has so far failed to act.
I wonder how many of these individuals, organizations and publishers agree with Paul Cameron's Solution for those who live "parasitic lives"?
E-mail me or leave a comment if you find someone who is using Cameron's "science" and I'll add them to the list.

He was doing his best to protect his identity. He must have known the cameras were watching, but even so, he entered the Circle K on Highway 20 on July 28.
At 4:10 a.m. he was holding a black semi-automatic and ordered the customers to get on the floor.
Cathy Gardner of Crime Stoppers says, "He ordered the clerk to open the cash register. He took money from customers in the store. He took money from both cash registers. He was very aggressive in this robbery."
He was pointing the gun in people's faces and even touching the gun to people's bodies.
Call Crime Stoppers at 850-891-HELP if you have any information.

Parole denied: That's the word from the parole commission in Raleigh on the man some call the most brutal killer in Onslow County history. Marcus Shrader was convicted of killing one woman and accused of killing three others in Jacksonville in 1974. Shrader was sentenced to death, until that changed to life in prison because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1976. The victims' families and law officers from here in the East continue to fight to keep Shrader behind bars. This is the second year the commission has considered and denied Shrader's parole.

Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100: 15 things you really need to know
Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100? When the Canon EOS 70D was announced, your first thought may have been, which of these high-spec cameras is the better deal.
Here we take a look at some of the key differences between the cameras, which might make all the difference for you in choosing a winner in the Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 debate.
Canon's brand new EOS 70D is packed with new and innovative technologies, including on-sensor phase-detection autofocus, built-in wi-fi and an articulating touch-screen display. So how does it stack up against its chief rival, the Nikon D7100?
Does the Canon blow it out of the water, or does the Nikon have the muscle to fight back? Hopefully our Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 comparison will answer some of your burning questions. If not, let us know in the comments!

Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 Comparison: 01 AUTOFOCUS
The Canon EOS 70D uses a newly developed 'Dual-Pixel CMOS AF' system which allows on-sensor phase-detection autofocus.
Phase-detection AF is much faster than the 'contrast-AF' systems normally required when the sensor is used for focusing, and Canon claims this will offer "instant and accurate focusing of stills and videos."
This should give Canon a clear autofocus advantage in live view mode and when shooting videos in any EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 debate. It has no effect during normal, 'viewfinder' shooting, where both cameras use separate phase-detection sensors.
Here, the Canon EOS 70D offers a 19-point autofocus sensor, where all 19 are superior 'cross' types. The Nikon D7100 hits back with a sophisticated 51-point AF system taken from its professional DSLRs, with 15 cross-type sensors.
On balance, it looks as if the Canon EOS 70D has the advantage, but it will depend on how much you use the live view and movie modes.

Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 Comparison: 02 SENSOR
The Canon EOS 70D has new 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor measuring 22.5 x 15.0mm with a built-in/fixed low pass filter. The Nikon D7100 has a very slightly larger 24.1-megapixel sensor measuring 23.5 x 15.6mm with no low-pass filter.
Removing the filter means increased sharpness with fine details, though at the risk of moire effects with some subjects and patterns – though this does not seem to be a problem for the D7100 in practice.
It remains to be seen how well the Canon EOS 70D's sensor performs in tests, but test results from the Nikon D7100 and the difference in specifications suggest that the Nikon should in theory yield slightly sharper images.
The slight difference in the sensor size also explains why the Canon has a 1.6x focal factor while the Nikon's is 1.5x.
Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 Comparison: 03 EXPOSURE
The Canon EOS 70D has dual-layer 63-zone IFCL (Intelligent Focus, Colour & Luminance) exposure sensor. The dual-layer design makes it colour-sensitive, and is designed to eliminate random exposure errors caused by subject colours and light sources.
The Nikon D7100 metering system, meanwhile, uses a 2016-pixel RGB sensor. It's not yet clear whether either one has an advantage in a Canon EOS 70D vs Nikon D7100 comparison, and the limitations of in-camera metering sensors in general and the different metering techniques of individual photographers mean that comparisons aren't always meaningful.
Both cameras offer multi-pattern, centre-weighted and spot metering modes, but the Canon EOS 70D adds 'Partial' metering (a kind of 'big' spot mode).

Time is money. Time is precious. Time is limited. There are many words that can follow time isbut the most common one on the list is wasted. Many moments of our day could be something more productive. I wont lie I catch myself wasting time too. We can all be the kid on summer break complaining about being bored or the person whos addicted to some inane game or app. Everyone needs downtime, but that time needs to be limited. You kept track of what you did yesterday. I will use the sample day to point out time wasters.
Go to work 8:30 am
15 minute break 11 am
Lunch 1 pm
15 minute break 3 pm
Arrive home at 6 pm
Check Facebook and twitter feeds 6-6:18 pm
Feed pets at 6:18 pm
Make supper 6:20 pm
Eat 6:45 pm
Work on homework with kids at 7 pm
Take walk 7:30 pm
Get kids ready for bed at 8 pm
Watch TV and play Candy Crush 8:00 pm until 10:20 PM
Get ready for bed and go to sleep 10:30 pm
When I was younger, Id have said going to sleep at 10:30 was a time waster. I used to work on my writing until 2 am and get up at six each morning to go to the day job. Im a bit older now, and I really love sleep. We wont take sleep away from you. Look for places where you used social networking, played games, or watched TV. These are the first areas where well learn how to make time wasters go away or become life enhancers. A life enhancer is our moments to decompress productively. Everyone has to unwind or theyll snap. Start by looking at how much time you use playing Facebook, games, TV these are all areas where a little will go a long way. Use a kitchen timer to reward yourself with some life enhancement time. If you go on Facebook for thirty minutes make that ten and use the other twenty minutes to write. Set a timer and enjoy Facebook until it beeps. If you dont have, a timer, but you do have a tablet or a smart phone there are many excellent free timer apps. You could download one to your computer too. Well discuss more tools to make your time easier later in the week. The hours you spend watching TV are the first to reevaluate. Look up your local TV listing on Monday and decide what you want to watch. Schedule the time for shows that interest you. I know that if I dont do this Ill sit down to watch a few minutes of TV and relax until I find myself staring at it mindlessly three hours later. Ill be sitting there wondering why Im watching a documentary on the man who invented shoelaces. TV can be a nice background sound if youre someone who needs noise, but if you find yourself looking at screen instead of doing something more productive you might want to try turning off the TV and turning on the radio instead.
Games are fun, but these need to fit in the schedule too. Maybe you use the last 10 minutes before you go to bed to play a quick round of Candy Crush, or reward a week of writing by taking the day off from your schedule every Saturday night and play games until your eyes cross. Finding ways to use the things you love to make your life better is what time management is really about. You can have everything you want by giving up very little of everything you like. Look at what you do this week and identify areas where moderation might prove useful.
500 word challenge!
To some of us 500 words sound like a breeze, but some days 500 words can feel like a mountain you have to climb. Writing is a muscle. If you dont use it, you lose it. No matter what is going on in your life, I hope youll accept my 500-word challenge. They can be on a current work-in-progress, but if you dont have anything specific you can start with my three word prompt. Write a paragraph or two that is at least 500 words using three preselected words now you only have 497 to go!
The words for 9-10 are blue, daisy, sorrow. Let your imagination flow from these or add 500 to what you are writing now.
How is this going for you? Let me know if you have any questions.

Career girl Sarah HardingSarah Harding's work is more important than her love life.
The Girls Aloud singer - who is dating DJ Tom Crane - wants to concentrate on her newfound passion for acting and will give this precedence over her romantic relationships for the next few years.
She said: "I amnot engaged - not yet anyway. I've still got a few more years in me. I think career first, then love life."
The 28-year-old blonde beauty recently portrayed schoolgirl Roxy in the 'St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold'.
While discussing her personal life with her co-stars, Sarah decided she has no time to think about her love life now she is a multi-talented star.
She explained: "I am going down a different route and I like to throw myself fully into what I am doing. One of the girls on set said it is hard to juggle a good work life, a good social life and a good love life. You can't have more than two at once, and it's true. If I am working long hours I don't see much of my boyfriend. He is always out so it is tough. But work is my focus for the next two years."
Sarah also revealed she decided to try her hand on the big screen because she was getting "bored" of singing with the girl group.
She added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We have all got other stuff. We get bored. We have been doing it for seven years and we need something else to mix things up a bit. We have all gone out and done other things.
"It means we'll all be able to go back to the band again and enjoy it. Otherwise it does become like a job - albeit one I enjoy doing. But then it becomes a routine and I am not a routine girl."

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"In Soviet Russia, cockroaches stomp on YOU!!!"
Cockroaches, also known as Dickroaches, are very ugly creatures. Viki is afraid of their long feelers and she hates their guts because they are just disgusting white thick liquid inside. Some people like to eat them because they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are the only documented creatures known to be almost immune to radioactivity. Thus, cockroaches have been planning war on humanity for a total of 200,000 years running. One of their major tactics is for the flying variety to dive bomb targets at night, robbing them of precious, precious sleep. The only thing keeping them from achieving their goal is the well-known disease Cancer. Since all cockroaches are immune to radioactivity, they cannot undergo chemotherapy and, with their accelerated heart rate, the blood pumps to the tumor much quicker, and makes it grow out of control. Once a cockroach is diagnosed with cancer, it has approximately 2 hours to live and flips onto its back to pray.
Along with Keith Richards, cockroaches are known for surviving atomic bombs but not surviving a human foot. They can also survive up to around about a week headless. After one week the head regenerates. However, the roach's personality is lost, often leading to broken homes and alcoholism, and, if the cockroach suffocates during that time, it actually explodes. Or is that termites?
For Fun
Cockroaches are extremely hygienic animals; in fact they are among the cleanest in the world. Another thing roaches are known for, is daring each other to run across the kitchen floor, and fit themselves in the tightest places imaginable, usually the thickness of a piece of paper. Cockroaches taste really good with chianti.
Their plans for taking over the world have been slowed by the ASAHWAR (American stay-at-home women against roaches). The ASAHWAR are known to scream at the top of their lungs whenever spotting a roach, and try to smash it with books, dish soap, milk cartons, chairs, dumbells, high-heel shoes, dish rags, rocks, pets, your mom etc, whatever is in arm's reach. If the woman fails at killing the roach, the scream will have most likely completely deafened the cockroach, preventing further communication with other roaches.
The cockroach communicates in a language only understood by other cockroaches and two guys in the Kremlin. It is a mixture of English, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese, FORTRAN and Russian. They also have the ability of telepathy, although the guys in the Kremlin lack the basic equipment for this.
Despite their delays, the cockroaches plan to have complete control over the world by the year 2020 (watch your backs!) or sooner if assisted by global warming.
If Admins are exposed to these things, they have the urge to huff roaches, making them mentally unbalanced and liable to believe they are pixels.

Three arrested in Meadville meth bust
MEADVILLE – Three Meadville residents were taken into custody by city police in a Monday methamphetamine bust at a local apartment complex. Officers were tipped off to an alleged meth lab being run inside one of the apartments. They arrived on scene at about 1:00 yesterday afternoon. After questioning a resident in the parking lot, police raided Apartment A in Building 440 of the Fairmont Fairview Housing Complex. All the residents living in that building were evacuated and local first responders were put on standby in case of an explosion. After several hours, the building was deemed safe to reenter. Meadville residents Walter Eckart, Karen Triscas, and Kandy McGlothren were all taken in on numerous charges and were arraigned later that evening.

While most of us were sleeping, some were braving the elements to make sure your commute to school or work is a safe one.
Trucks with the Department of Transportation have worked hard the past couple of days spraying the roads with over 60,000 gallons of salt brine.
Crews spent all day Thursday preparing the roadways for Friday's potential wintry mix. Roger Carpenter, the road supervisor for the D.O.T says if the roads get too bad, he'll break out the snow plows and one more trick of the trade.
While snow is not reported on Eastern Carolina roadways, it's important to note that bridges and overpasses could very well be click. Drivers are urged to use caution.

Italian women are style iconsMon, 19 Nov 2012 10:45 AM
Monica Bellucci thinks Italian women are style icons.
The 'Matrix Reloaded' actress says Mediterranean women are naturally stylish and always exude a sense of femininity and elegance that comes with their culture.
Monica said: "I think it's more a feminity that Italian women have. I grew up in Perugia, Umbria, in a world outside of fashion, so I didn't learn about it until I was older and moved away. In Milan the women are really into fashion and all the big fashion brands are based there, but I don't think they feel pressure to look good all the time.
"Italian women take care of themselves; they have a special relationship with beauty and in Milan it's even more exaggerated. The style there is more elegant and conservative compared to Rome."
The 48-year-old beauty has become the face of fashion house Dolce and Gabbana after first modelling for them aged 25, and thinks the deal symbolises fierce Italian loyalty and a mutual appreciation of sensual, curvy women.
Monica told Stylist magazine: "It's amazing [to work with them]. It's a faithful Italian story of love and friendship: the important things in life.
I stayed with them and we've stuck together after all these years. When we do photo shoots, it's not work; it's like having fun with my friends creating beautiful pictures together. As Mediterraneans we have the same ideal of beauty.
"If I was French, I'd say the ideal is Brigitte Bardot or Catherine Deneuve, but I'm Italian so grew up with actresses like Gina Lollobrigada and Sophia Loren, so they're our ideal of beauty."

Happy Friday, everyone! If you are still sitting at a desk in an office, chances are you are 100% checked out by now, for which I do not blame you. It's fucking spring outside, at least in New York. Why not wile away the final thirty minutes of your work week by looking at pictures of cute men and handsome kittens? Because that's what I've been doing for the past half hour or so.
As everyone knows, conventionally attractive people and cats are the two most viewed types of beings on the internet, and therein lies the genius of the Tumblr Des Hommes Et Des Chatons. ("Some men and some kittens.") This visually appealing single-serving blog combines two great tastes that taste great together by scouring the internet for pictures of men and cats doing roughly the same pose and/or activity, then putting them together in an eye-gasm of greatness. See, folks? Cats are just like people! Or maybe people are just like cats. You be the judge. More

ZOMG! Yes. I just did that and I'm not ashamed because this is absolutely the best news I've read all week. Not. Kidding. The super geniuses at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have invented material that can make clothing invisible. Once it's fully developed, the material, Metaflex, could manipulate light waves to make things invisible. And by things, I mean clothing. Like a cloak. Like the cloak of invisibility I will soon own to take with me to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and fulfill my dreams of living the life of a wizard. And then I will wear it everywhere.

Can we soak the rich? by Simon Sweetman
Last week's Budget announcements were not so much a soaking, more a light shower for the wealthy. But is there more of the same in store, and what revenue will it raise? Simon Sweetman is on the case
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has posed itself the question Will income tax changes for the very rich raise any money ?

Only 98%?
Surely there are wrinklies like me around who remember tax rates exceeding 100%. There was the 10% surtax surcharge in 1972-73 and the special charge in 1967-68. They were of course wealth taxes in disguise. But I have no personal recollection of the wartime Excess Profits Tax!
The morality of high tax rates
I can remember a marginal tax rate of 98%.
Yes, earn £100 of interest and £98 goes to the Government and you got to keep just £2.
The phrase "state confiscation of assets" comes to mind in this context in modern day humans rights terminology.
This was in the days of a top income tax rate of 83% on top of which Investment Income Surcharge was 15%. This was in the 1970's
So next year's 50% income tax rate seems rather mild in comparison.
I personally believe that any marginal tax rate above 50% is immoral - can it really be correct that more than half of the fruits of one's labour are not retained ?
So on this basis, the top rate of tax Income Tax on earned income should be no more than 49% (as there's a marginal 1% employee NIC on "high" earnings).
With regard to the concerns of remote working in a low tax jurisdiction to avoid 50% UK tax, the way forward would be to tax electronic services on the recipients of those services - not by VAT, not by IPT, but by ECT (electronic communication tax).
ECT would be levied if a UK multinational were to buy in electronic supplies from an artificially low tax rate area. Taxation of this sort would require EC wide co-operation.
Tax advice to high earners
Is there currently a thread running on the advice that accountants should be giving to high earning clients? This seems a very risky area for advisors given the anti-forestalling measures and the consideration of the previous two years income levels and the rumoured restriction if the company makes the contribution instead. The wrong advice could easily be given by us to our clients. Any links to external documents would also be helpful.
There's no such thing as tax avoidance
Mr Sweetman persists in the HMRC originated obfuscation concerning Tax Avoidance.
There is and can be absolutely no such thing.
One can arrange ones affairs within the law to minimise the predations of the state - or one can break the law, which is evasion, illegal and a bad thing.
I'm a Tax Avoider:
I use my Tax Code, I buy ISAs, I claim for some Professional Bodies subs . . .
I suspect 100% of taxpayers are tax avoiders in this sense - they obey the law, take advantage of the benefits it offers - and whats wrong with that.
The 'ethical' argument falls down in the face of the duplicitous and reprehensible tendency of HMRC to try to retrospectively re-interpret 'settled' understandings and their consistent misdirecion of tax-payers through the labyrinthe.
To preach that it is ethical for HMRC to behave like this and unethical for the wealth creator to not roll over seems to me an abrogation of respect for 'The Law'.
Squeeze the Pips (without Gladys Knight)
Paul Johnston is correct in his point about WASTE. As a candidate in the last 3 General Elections, I have pointed this out. At a hustings debate for the 2005 General Election (as an INDEPENDENT) , I OBJECTED to the National Insurance "surcharge" as I feared it would be wasted. The audience warmed to this unusual stance - but the (local) press failed to grasp the point.
Paul's additional point about gardeners (and house cleaners, etc) reminded me of an article that I read in the London Evening Standard written by Neil Collins (around 1977?) when, after Denis Healey, (the then Chancellor who had to go cap-in-hand to the Interrnational Monetary Fund) had jacked the Rate of Taxation up to 98% (83% top rate PLUS 15% Investment Income Surcharge) resulted in a Lord of The Manor collaring a Treasury Official at a party with the words: "do you realise that I have to earn £100,000 so that I can pay my gardener £2,000?". The journalist observed that "it was the first time that [he] had seen a Treasury Minion rock on his heels".
And by the way, the Kinks wrote "Sunny Afternoon" with the phrase: "The taxman's taken all my dough".
Enterprise is good. But fleecing the golden goose isn't. I commend my website:
for a visit.
The govt. may be expecting the lower 6 figure people to provide most of the revenue but remember that for every £1,000,000 earner who leaves the UK you need 40 earning £250,000 paying the extra 10% to make up the difference.
With modern telecommunications it's easier for the £1,000,000+ earners to operate from lower tax juristrictions so the incentive to re-locate or not come to the UK in the first place is very real.
No Vernon they don't. They say they are doing it because they want us to change their behaviour but in fact they are aware of a basic economic principle which says that you levy indirect taxes on goods whose demand is inelastic ie demand is not very sensitive to price. Smokers will tend to carry on buying cigarettes regardless of price because they are addicted - so it makes a good target to tax. Wrap that up in a spurious health justification - even better.
Ditto petrol - where we now have the environmental justification.
And as the realistic options for someone with just earned or pension income to take steps to reduce a higher rate liability are pretty limited (unless they are a director of their own company) - especially if they actually want or need to spend all that income - they can be pretty sure they will collect that extra tax. The super super high earners may be able to do something but the government will be counting on those in the lower end of the 6 figure bracket to be the ones who pay up.
Changing behaviour
When the Government puts up some taxes, say tobacco, it explicitly wants us to change our behaviour. But when it puts up others, say income tax, it apparently doesn't want us to change our behaviour.
I don't think they can reasonably expect to have it both ways.
don't foget that a tax on the "rich" can also be a tax on the lower paid. When you increase taxation at the top the rich will need to reduce outgoings so they cut back on gardeners, house cleaners etc.
These occupations have already been hit by the "Credit Crunch" so now the Chancellor wants them to suffer more.
A much better approach as we all know is to save the extra revenue that might be generated by taxatio by having a more cost effective run Government. But that is just beyond those those in charge. What about CPDs for Ministers!
£150,000 is nice, but doesn't make you rich
Ok, I'll admit I would love to be earning £150,000 p.a. But it is far from making you rich. I bet those who do earn this much spend nearly all their income the same way as the rest of us who earn significantly less. The old story of spending rising to match income.
Why do governments think it a good idea to increase taxes for people who earn more? High earners are not in these positions because they are greedy or ruthless, but because they are successful at what they do. Therefore the message is if you are successful we will punish you with higher taxes. This is a big disincentive to success, and as history has shown is destined to failure.
Only half the story
The other aspect is the effect on foreign entrepreneurs who might otherwise have come to the UK to set up businesses and create jobs. Of course many of these will have been put off by last years attack on non-doms, but you never see this aspect analysed e.g. in the self-serving drivel put out by the Treasury last week.
the rich?
this is a loaded political debate, but surely if you are going to talk about "the rich" you should talk about wealth rather than income?
in fact, although you don't seem to acknowledge it, what you are talking about is the Laffer curve, which is an economists model. And as such would not directly concern itself with the mechanics of taxation, but rather the effect of raising marginal tax rates on tax take.

In the midst of brats, cream puffs and a wealth of IZOD IndyCar Series action at the Milwaukee Mile, teammates Simon Pagenaud and Tristan Vautier qualified ninth and 10th for the Milwaukee IndyFest.
Driving the No. 77 Schmidt Hamilton HP Motorsports car, Pagenaud found a healthy dose of speed on the short oval during qualifications with an average two-lap speed of 169.311 mph.
"We hit the hard limiter, which really hurt us in qualifications," Pagenaud said. "The balance was nice in my car and it was awesome in Turns 1 and 2, then a bit loose in Turns 3 and 4. Overall it was a bit loose but it was good enough for me to stay full-throttle for both qualifying laps."
Tristan Vautier earned a two-lap qualifying average of 169.215 mph in the No. 55 Coastal.com/Schmidt Peterson Motorsports car. The IZOD IndyCar Series rookie was fourth fastest in the first practice session on Friday, but struggled in the second practice session before qualifications.
"We had an awesome pace in the first practice session this morning, and then we really struggled this afternoon," Vautier said. "We were a bit uncertain of how we would qualify but it was a decent run and I was happy about the car. If someone would have told me we would have run that quick of a speed before qualifications I don't think I would have believed them."
With qualifying in the books, both drivers know their hardest work on the Milwaukee Mile is still ahead of them on race day.
"I enjoy this track so much because it honestly drives more like a road course than an oval," Pagenaud said. "It's all about finding the right balance here to have a strong car. It will be good to be up front tomorrow on race day because passing here is difficult with tire wear. It's a challenge to set this car up for the race, and it's going to be very important to have strong in and out laps."
Vautier believes a well-handling car in traffic will be crucial to success in the 250-lap race.
"It's going to be very difficult to have a car that works well in traffic here, and you're going to need to be fast behind other drivers and run different lines," Vautier said.
The IZOD IndyCar Series rookie will also look to gain valuable seat time on an oval track tomorrow as he learns the nuances of oval racing.
"I still have a lot to learn about long runs on ovals," Vautier said. "I don't set objectives for the races but I'll be focusing on being clean the entire day on-track as well as in pit stops."
Marco Andretti of Andretti Autosport won the pole for Saturday's Milwaukee IndyFest. The green flag will drop for the race at 4:40 p.m. ET, and broadcast coverage of the event will start at 3 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network. For all of the latest team updates, follow @SPMIndyCar on Twitter.
