HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — The Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on New Year's Day will feature a float that will carry a floragraph — a tribute made with flowers and leaves about 14 inches in diameter resembling a photograph — dedicated to the memory of a Hagerstown teenager whose family donated his organs after he was killed in a car crash earlier this year.
Quinn Hoover, 17, died on March 18 after an early-morning accident near Clear Spring. A student at Washington County Technical High School, he was known for his outgoing personality and his prowess on the soccer field, his parents said.
The float, Journeys of the Heart, honors Quinn and 71 other organ, eye and tissue donors, whose organ donations helped other people live, according to the Living Legacy Foundation of Maryland, a nonprofit that facilitates organ donation.
Quinn's parents, Tom and Sonja Hoover, are being flown to Pasadena to help decorate the float and watch the parade. Earlier this month, they helped put the finishing touches to the floragraph at Hagerstown's St. Mark's Lutheran Church.
"It is going to be bitter-sweet, not really somewhere I want to be, but we are proud of the legacy he has left behind with organ donation and the difference he has made in our lives and the organ donation program in Maryland," Tom Hoover said.
He said that since Quinn's death, it has become a passion of the Hoover family to raise awareness of organ donation.
Sonja Hoover, Quinn's mother, said her family had been through a "roller-coaster of grief" since the March day when her son died.
"A child is not supposed to die before the parent," she said. "It is going to be bitter-sweet seeing him on the float."
Sonja Hoover said that she is gratified that the organs donated by her son helped save three lives.
"Just knowing that he did that helps with our grieving. He is still living and he is leaving a legacy," she said.

Check the heat shield. It should be attached to the head pipe with a little clip where it comes close to the foot peg. If you can lift it away from the pipe with moderate pressure either the clip on the pipe, the shield, or both may have broken.This happened to me and it was amazingly loud and annoying. And yes, it's a warranty issue. My dealer got me a new shield lickety split.Scott
Hitting the brake lever? Couldn't tell from the video.
I had the same issue. The head pipe has an insert that comes loose. Mine did. I just got it replaced under warranty. Call ScooterBob. He knows allll abbooouutt iiittt.
like r80rt tried to tell you, call the dealer for them tocheck it out. it's fun to work on things and do maintenance, but you have a warranty for problems like this.
Hold on here, my Bullet developed an intense BUZZZZZZZOOOOOOMMMMM when I was shifting up at high revs. I have looked eveywhere seriously and can't figure it out. I'll have to try this out and see!Did you check by simply tapping your header pipe?Would this require a whole new header to be installed in order to fix? -Jake

I don't think that's the case, I believe people can still text.
Cell service was shut down for a time because they were afraid of remote detonation of more bombs and highways in and out of the city were closed as well as the bomb site obviously. For the most part everything is back to normal.

I was given a big hunk of comfrey a couple of years ago by a friend who is an encyclopedia of medicinal plant knowledge. I never used it for the compresses or tea she recommended (sorry, Connie) and, as it is a rather bulky thing, I was tempted to get rid of it. I'd heard people complain about it spreading too, and wondered if I was better off without it.
That is, until I learned about some of its other uses, and its reputation as a nurse plant:
*Comfrey has an incredibly long tap root, and as such, gets down deep to all the nutrients int he soil that other plants simply can't reach. It stores all this nutrition in its proliferous leaves. The wise gardener need only "chop and drop" the comfrey a few times a season, spreading the cut stems and leaves around the base of any and all plants as an all-in-one mulch/fertilizer.
*Comfrey draws beneficial bacteria and earthworms to its root.
*Comfrey is great to plant under fruit trees as it does not compete with the trees roots, but competes with other plants that would; it also draws pollinators.
*Cuttings of comfrey are excellent for kickstarting your compost.
*It can also be used for animal fodder.
As far as the issue of spreading, it seems the worst danger comes from cutting the roots, so no tilling for me. On the whole, I have the space and it's earning its keep, so the comfrey is staying.

WASHINGTON – Those who love to cook from scratch at home but don't have time to shop for fresh ingredients may want to check out a new kind of food delivery service.
Grocery stores have offered delivery for years, but these new companies want to serve in a different way.
They come up with recipes, then send all the needed ingredients in exacting amounts to make the recipes.
All that's left is the cooking.
At least two of these companies make deliveries in the D.C. region.
HelloFresh promises amazing recipes that typically take 30 minutes or less to make. Blue Apron says its ingredients are fresher than those at the local supermarket. Both offer vegetarian options and free shipping.
All Things D reports prices for these services start at $8 per meal, but can top $20.
If it sounds expensive, the companies pitch that users save precious time and there are no leftover ingredients to go bad in the fridge.

Tallahassee, FL - Dads and daughters danced the night away Saturday.
The Rotary Club of Tallahassee Northside estimates about one thousand people attended its 8th annual Daddy-Daughter Dance.
The Rotary Club does the dance each year to help raise money for its charities.
WCTV Anchor Julie Montanaro was this year's emcee.
"If you're a dad and you're at home and you haven't taken your daughter to a 'Daddy-Daughter Dance' it's an experience you have to come out and do. Put the Macho aside for a second. Your daughter will remember it forever," said Rickie Williams, who's been going to the dance with his daughter Imani the past four years.
The Rotary Club says it hopes to raise about $20,000 through the dance for its charities this year.

WACO, Texas (AP) -- Texas law enforcement officials are launching a criminal investigation into last month's deadly fertilizer plant explosion. Investigators have up to now largely treated the West Fertilizer Co. blast that killed 14 people as an industrial accident.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said in a Friday statement that the agency has instructed the Texas Rangers and the McLennan County Sheriff's Department to launch a criminal probe.
DPS Director Steven McCraw says in a statement he wants to ensure "no stone goes unturned" in the investigation. The plant blew up on the night of April 17 after a fire erupted at the facility in the rural town of West.

Is Marlo Hampton Coming Back For The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5? NeNe Leakes Says …
As a "friend" of the housewives, Atlanta socialite Marlo Hampton certainly made an impression on our Georgia Peaches during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4.
While NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey took to Marlo right away, recruiting her as a member of The Talls, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks, Sheree Whitfield, and Kim Zolciak (aka The Smalls) were never very fond of Ms. Hampton.
Unfortunately for Marlo, RHoA producers seemed to agree with The Smalls, and decided not to invite the outspoken gal back for another season. However, we aren't finished with Marlo just yet!
On Nov. 4 a Twitter follower asked NeNe if Marlo makes an appearance this season, and NeNe replied, "Yes."
And on Nov. 18 she added, "Love@iheartMarlo."
Are you ready to see Marlo on Season 5 of RHoA? Vote below!

Dick for a Day: What Would You Do If You Had One?
Fiona Giles
Villard, 1997 - Humor - 279 pages
Not since Kafka's Gregor Samsa awoke to discover that he'd turned into a cockroach has literature addressed such a traumatic transformation. In order to compile Dick for a Day, scholar and feminist Fiona Giles approached hundreds of well-known writers, poets, artists, actresses, and academics and asked them to express what they might feel if they abruptly found themselves genitally altered.
From Terry McMillan to Jennifer Blowdryer, from Patricia Cornwell to Linda Sexton Gray, we find unexpected answers: hygienic, erotic, metaphysical, and even spiritual. By turns playful and sociologically profound, Dick for a Day is a milestone in sophisticated humor and feminist literature.

I'm running 8.0.3 on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install. I would like to enable opendkim for Zimbra and have found the wiki.
I'm curious if the example.com that is used within the wiki is for each and every domain that is on the Zimbra server? Or, is example.com the domain for the mail server.
For example:
Zimbra Server: email-server.com
User domain: mydomain.com
Another User: anotherdomain.com
Yet another one: thethirddomain.com
Do I have to configure opendkim (example.com in the wiki) for each domain: mydomain.com, anotherdomain.com, thethirddomain.com
Do I configure it once with email-server.com
Also, where do I put the SPF record?
Server 1: shared webhosting server
The DNS for this server is what handles most of a domain's dns requests. The MX records on this server point to email-server.com. Do I create an SPF record for each domain on this shared webhost that will be using Zimbra, or do I just do it on the email/Zimbra server?
Email server: This domain handles all the incoming and out going emails. So I would think this is where I put the SPF records.

JOHANNESBURG (USA TODAY/AP)- President Obama is set unveil a new initiative to double access to electric power in sub-Saharan Africa with an initial $7 billion investment from the U.S. during a speech at the University of Cape Town later today.
President Obama will talk about the "Power Africa" initiative in what has been billed as his signature speech during his week-long trip to the Africa.
"If you want lights so kids can study at night or you can maintain vaccines in a cold chain, you don't have that, so going the extra mile to reach people is more difficult," said President Obama's director for development and democracy, Gayle Smith, adding that more than two-thirds of people living in sub Saharan Africa do not have electricity.
On Saturday, President Obama met with the Mandela's family to give them his best wishes for the man he called his "personal hero."
President Obama was due to receive an honorary doctorate at the University of Johannesburg amid protests against U.S. foreign policy, including its stance on drones and the Middle East.
South African police fired rubber bullets into a crowd of hundreds of student and union protesters on Saturday before President Obama arrived at the university in an effort to disperse them.
Later, President Obama will visit Robben Island, the site of the prison where Mandela spent 18 out of the 27 years he was locked up under the rule of the minority white apartheid leaders.
"The U.S. [has the] largest and [most] flexible economy in the world and is an important partner for South Africa, directly and indirectly," said Mike Schussler, the founder of Economists.co.za, an independent economic research center in Johannesburg adding that President Obama's visit strengthened the agreements between the U.S. and South Africa.
And some residents agreed that President Obama's presence has been positive for the country.

I don't see any problems with a 50mm 1.8 on APS-C. Tons of people use them as 80mm equivalent portrait lenses, indeed being close to the classic 85mm prime lens!
Alongside the announcement of the K-01 mirrorless camera, Pentax has updated its K-mount lens roadmap to include planned releases for 2012 and 2013. In a PDF document published on the company's website, it indicates that three lenses will be introduced during the course of this year - a 50mm 'standard' lens, a superzoom in the 18-200mm class, and a super telephoto in the 500-600mm range. Four zooms covering the full wideangle to telephoto range are projected to follow later, alongside a 1.4x teleconverter.
As usual we're a little surprised to see a 50mm lens projected for an APS-C system - we find it something of a 'no-mans land' focal length between the 'normal' and 'portrait' ranges, but to be fair 50mm lenses seem to be selling well anyway. If it's relatively compact to suit the K-01 it could make an interesting combination. The same can't be said for the super-telephoto - this really isn't going to handle well on a camera without an eye-level viewfinder, so will be best-suited to DSLRs like the K-5.

The 31mm f1.8 is a full frame (film) lens isn't it?
It IS a little odd that all of the manufacturers of APS format slrs sell 50mm lenses and treat 35-ish lenses, which are really "normal" for that format, like red-headed step children.
How about an purpose designed APS sized 33mm f1.4 that isn't the size of a bazooka?
(This is a criticism of ALL the companies, not just Pentax.)
Actually Nikon has a well regarded 35mm f1.8 DX (APS) lens. The reason there aren't any faster is probably that a 35mm lens must be retro-focal on a DSLR mount (while 50mms don't), and that increases the lens size especially with larger apertures.
Still no fast 24 or 28mm.
still no 24 mm or thereabout at all! :(
it really really drives me mad... can we have a normal, affordeable lense that is equivalent to a 35/43 mm in the old 135? retrofocus, front focus, slow, screwdriven... who cares?!
shall we go on with old M28 2.8 forever?
Yeah, something a little wider than the 35 f/2 is needed. The 21 f3.2 just isn't fast enough.
I bought a Sigma 24 f/1.8, it is great, also full frame (use it on a film camera as well), but weighs a tonne.
DA 14 seems to be a great lense, but is all but affordeable. And thereabout you have limiteds only....
With modern sensors and 2.8 limitation, a 20something f 3.5 in "plastic shape" could be light and cheap enough to sell tons. Anytime i take a 35mm "capeable" combo (XA2, Oly Trip, anything with my F24-50) I feel i really miss an "always on lens" of such length... :(
Argh! Why are some people NEVER happy!
Complaint - Pentax doesnt have a lens roadmap. SOLVED
Complaint - Lens ______ is not on the roadmap.
the complete Pentax lineup:
DA 14mm f/2.8

DA 12-24mm f/4

DA 22-38mm (2013)
DA 130-370mm (2013)
16 zooms (5 pending) covering 10mm to 300+mm.
Unless you are a professional shooting some very specific things like high speed sports or wildlife, there is a lens for you here. And that is just from Pentax and just what is in current production. Sigma and Tamron make a broad range of Pentax mount lenses and the secondary market for Pentax is HUGE.
True, there are some gaps. Goodness there is no 19mm prime. Or a 62mm. Or a 41-93mm zoom! How in the world can we live without the 41-93mm zoom!!!
You can always complain about the lenses that are MISSING. Me, I am going to keep shooting with the ones that exist.
Pentax has 24 lenses in production, 7 pending
By comparison, Nikon has 75. But if you are comparing apples to apples, Nikon only has 23 lenses with VR where as EVERY pentax lens benefits from in body SR. And only 22 of those will autofocus on every Nikon currently selling. In fact, of the 75 lenses, 20 wont autofocus on a D5100 or lower and 11 are manual focus.
Think about that, if you want a lens that does everything we expect as normal on a Pentax, you are limited to 23 Nikon lenses - one less than pentax has in production RIGHT NOW. 9 of those 22 have an MSRP of $5000 or more.
Also, if you look at the lenses that all work on Pentax with no adapters, you're looking at a collection of millions of lenses – all made by Pentax and currently supported.
There's more than one reason why we like Pentax... ;)
DA 14mm f/2.8
DA 15mm f/4 Limited
DA 21mm f/3.2 Limited
DA 31mm f/1.8 Limited
DA 35mm f/2.8 macro Limited
DA 35mm f/2.4
it is not so difficult to notice that between DA 14 (not a cheap lense...) and DA 35 you have limiteds only...
FA35/2 and FA50/1.4 are stilll in production.
Hmmmm, wonder if one of those zooms wll be 28-80mm f2.8.............perfect for FF??
They are all listed as DA or DA* - neither of which have an image circle for full frame - you need D-FA for that.
DA*55 f1.4 is a full frame lens.
DA*200 F2.8 is a full frame lens (same as FA*200)
D-FA lenses are full frame lenses
DA 40 limited IS a full frame lens (same as the old manual focus 40mm pancake )
The roadmap still shows that Pentax has no plan to release a 400mm telephoto lens. That is pretty disappointing. Used 400mm lenses in Pentax mount are commanding high prices, higher than in other mounts. The demand is there, but Pentax seems to ignore that market segment.
True, but there will be a 550mm and a 300mm. Plus Sigma sells an excellent 50-500 zoom.
Finally, we're going to get a long telephoto. My only concern is that it's not a DA* lens - I sure hope that it's *not* going to be a reflex 550mm f8 (or f11).
Is there any hope for 550/4.5 ?..
First put an EVF on the K-01, then worry about lenses.
They don't have to worry about lenses because there are no K-01 lenses, they just use all their existing K mount lenses
Wait............where are the Q mount lenses?!?!
I wish that 40mm f/2.8 kit pancake with the K-01 was a 32mm f/1.4 or f/2.
I'm considering buying a K-5 based on feature set and image quality - but the thing that holds me back is the small size: I have big hands and small cameras are a pain to handle. I tend to prefer Canon's tanks just on the physical size of the things.
So I just can't get too excited about mirrorless cameras shrinking even more. Someone needs to market handlebars for these things that screw into the tripod threads.
Pentax needs more inexpensive lenses like the 35mm/2,4 for 180 EUR (I have one and am really happy with it). Having primes for 500-1000 EUR is nice, but for normal users pretty expensive. So better having plastic-mount 50mm/f1,8 for 200 EUR than space-technology-metal 50mm/1,4 for 1000 eur. And even better would be a low-priced 20-30mm prime pancake (a cheaper equivalent to DA 21 Limited costing 500 EUR) for cca. 200-250 eur. Having such a lens I would never take it off my K-r (the 35mm is sometimes long).
I agree with you entirely! The 35mm is a great little lens, and it's cheap (so I can afford it), but most of the time it's too long. I wish, too, there was a 21mm (23.3mm? Rsrs), small and dirt cheap lens to add to my bag. Best regards!
What's the difference between the orange, green and purple coding?
Orange are DA* lenses (high quality, SDM focusing, weathersealed), purple are FA lenses (full-frame, 35mm film compatible), and green are the rest.
My take:
"I think the K-01 is a watershed camera for Pentax. The K-01 address the two biggest arguements against the current crop of mirrorless systems - small sensors and limited lenses. It is the first mirrorless camera with a "traditional" lens mount and a full range of lenses. Not a couple of lenses and a bunch of adapters. The APS-C sensor is 30% bigger than 4/3 sensor and there are more current production K Mount lenses than all other mirrorless systems combined (including the Q). And while P-TTL flashes are not up to Nikon or Canon standards, they are better than any other mirrorless has. Bottom line - the K-01 is the first mirrorless than dosent make you compromise the most important part of photography - the image."

fully agree, wished Nikon would have done it at the same way - some kind of Nikon D8000 APS-C mirror-less! instead of these expensive V1/J1 which are already on limit with their sensor size
Well, for real I think Sony already answer that in a better fashion in the light of NE-5N / NEX-7 + LA-EA1/LA-EA2 combo ,
The trouble is it doesn't address the biggest argument in favour of mirror-less cameras and that is smaller size.
Why would I want to put my Sony 70-300G lens on a Nex even if it didn't need an adaptor? The handling would still be rubbish.
The same will apply to using that very nice looking 80-250 F4 on a Pentax K-01.
It totally defeats the object of mirror-less cameras to stick large lenses on them UNLESS your object is to simply do away with the optical viewfinder and provide a d-slr replacement. If you do that then Sony has shown the right way to do it with the A33/55/65/77 with the first two being very compact cameras anyway.
The K-01 is neither one thing nor the other. The K mount lenses make it not a compact system and the design means it won't work as well (eg focus as fast) as a d-slr.
Pentax lenses are great but the K-01 just highlights what I said about Nex - the lenses make the system too big to be an alternative to a dslr outfit.
Pentax made a huge mistake by not adding a viewfinder to the K-01
Except is doesn't have an EVF. This is a big knock against it.
Finally!! Something to replace the FA50!! (and I hope it's based on the build of the DA35 at least)
Dang Ricoh! Hahah all that wait... make it worth the while! :)
DA Limited Zoom??!! DA Limited Zoom! DA Limited Zoom!
Not quite sure what to make of the DA* ultra zoom either. From the markings on the chart, it almost looks like a 24-80. Pretty useless for APS-C. I doubt they can make an 18-200 f/2.8? Unless they're turning the DA* nomenclature to mean weather-sealed only, and no longer constant aperture and weather-sealed.
Of course they aren't going to make a /2.8 18-200mm zoom. The chart makes it look as if the DA* is going to be about a 17-83mm, a very useful range on APS-C indeed. I wonder how you conclude a 24mm wide angle from that chart, where the bar clearly goes well below 20mm.
Yes, it looks like it could be a 17-85 or thereabouts, but I'm thinking that it's all a bit diffuse because they don't to reveal if this is for an upcoming FF DSLR or not ;)
A zoom that they should have made years ago to stop people leaving. Everybody was asking for a star quality walk-around zoom.
Even now it is slotted to 2013 "or later".
Pentax seems to be making fashion accessories lately. Designed by renowned designers!!
I want a super tele. :))
All I can say about this design is: "Oh! My God!" :( Then I'm looking for the feature that I care the most: weather seal, and there is none! This is definitely a K-r replacement or its evil brother instead of K5 replacement. I guess I'll save my money for a better camera later or buy K5 when it is going cheaper in price.
Finally a new ultra wide angle lens, never been fond with the 12-24 for it's price seeing that third party lenses by Tamron and Sigma are way cheaper but still almost achieve the same quality. Hopefully it'll be a treat and not horribly overpriced. Also good to see a new 50mm might actually get it to replace my old analog 50mm f/1,7 in case it's not to expensive. :)
The super tele sounds interesting. I prefer not to use an all-in-one lens, though so another 18-200mm isn't interesting to me. Probably is to thousands of others, though.
Hey didn't Pentax release a 645D about 2 years ago?
How many lenses have they gotten to market since its release?
Maybe they should make this a priority?
Also What advantage does a Mirrorless system really have when it still has the retrofocal elements that allow a mirror to be there, But they just leave the mirror out? Surely the MAJOR reason for a Smaller mirrorles camera system is that its smaller? I like Pentax, but really? an adaptor would have been a more elegant solution to backward compatibility? No?
True, they should get some 645d lenses out, but as far as retrofocus elements go, I would think they can build the lenses where the rear element goes deeper into the body allowing them to not have the retrofocus design.
Live view, high magnification manual focus. No mirror slap. Exposure simulation.
Possible tethered shooting since you are reading out from the sensor anyhow.
Personally I thought the NEX method of different mount plus an adapter was more elegant but I'll wait to see if Pentax has done a good job with this new body.
I'm more interested in a mirrorless 645D anyhow.
It hard to compare and almost unfair - to compare the K5 and the K-01. The K5 is smaller than all DSLR in the same range and has a great unique set of features and the K-01 is still smaller.
Compare them to the D7000 or whatever and you will soon see there is virtually no way to go smaller without having to resort to a smaller sensor.
I have a Ricoh GXR and it is waaaaay smaller than a K-5 and has an APS-C sensor. NEX too are APS-C Cameras - ever seen one?
The K-01 is more than double of the size. I too think, they miss the opportunity to really take the benefits of mirrorless cameras.
Just leave the mirror out and cut the viewfinder? Mhhh...
The K01 is the size it is because it retains compatibility with Pentax's full K mount lenses.
Want a smaller aps-c MILC from Pentax? Then be prepared to invest in an entirely new line of lenses, or buy an adapter which would negate all your size savings anyway.
These two announcements go a long way to calming all those frayed Pentaxian nerves. It was obvious this was all coming, just needed time and Ricoh only took over3 months ago???
Interesting use of the word 'Standard' with 50mm. They don't make media announcements for fun and they will have worded things carefully.
The new lenses look like many a wish list I have seen on these forums for a while. Good times ahead.............
that's what i also noticed when they put 'standard 50mm'. i can only think of FF in the pipeline.
If I were to buy a mirrorless, I'd buy a Sony. But I'd lust for this. I never imagined myself becoming a fan of Sony, but their NEX cameras are really impressive (and their a77 SLT is the most photographer friendly camera I've ever used).
...But this? This Pentax is sexy.
I agree. I have owned all the gear, some MF, Canon 5D2, Nikon etc. But I find that Pentax and Sony are the two companies that attract me these days.
I have the NEX5N. It could be so much better than it is. The only good thing about it is the sensor.
The K-01 has essentially the same sensor. So I am interested...!
Yeah, how could Pentax lenses possibly compare to that magnificent line-up Sony offers for the NEX?
Cough, cough.
They can't and don't.
While the a77 is a reasonable comparison i'm no fan of the NEX system's ridiculous lens size to camera size ratio. If the lenses were as good the pentax and similar sizing then it would be a totally different equation, but they're not close.
By the way, doesn't it ring a bell that Pentax call the replacement of the FA50 a "standard lens" ? They're not dumbass ! If they call it "standard", it may be a clue.. The DA lenses don't mean like "DX" for Nikon, it is just for digital cameras, no matter the size of the sensor (for instance, the DA* 55 f/1.4 can be use on FF bodies). And after all, nobody saw the K-01 coming until two or three days ago. I pray for a FF !
I <3 500MM+ lens. Please, please, please be f/4 or f4.5 or better.
Ouh Yeah ! I'm glad to see that Ricoh is wayyyyy more dynamic than Hoya was to move Pentax forward, we're back !
And this is good for everyone, the more competitive the market will be, more interesting the prices will be among Canon/Nikon/Pentax/Sony.
Yep that roadmap is good news!
Sooner would be better but anyway they say good things come to those who wait :)
The design of this camera is very ugly. Horrible! The designer, very weak, must learn to design cameras !!!
So you said in the thread about the K-01.
This thread is about lenses.
I've been waiting for the 1.4 teleconverter for sooo long now! 2013! I'm not sure I have the patience to wait that much longer. Before there was always the hope that it might be announced any day.
The long zoom does sound interesting. I'm still using a manual focus Pentax 500 mm f4.
why wait till 2013 with the rear converter? that makes no sense
It looks like they have plans to add some long telephoto lenses to the lineup. IMO, plugging that gap in their lens lineup will make their system more attractive.
The DA telezoom (100-400?) looks particularly interesting.
I think so too. And with that 1.4x converter... it's even more interesting.
then there's a DA*550 somewhere there too
What about 10mm wide and a fisheye.
?? There already is a 10-17 fisheye, it's been available for years.
Or do you mean 10mm rectillinear?
Seems kinda boring.
DA limited zoom? interesting :)
50mm is not a standard lens on APS-C.
I think they mean prime. It's a standard for portraits anyway.
No, but it is standard for FF, so, there is still a hope to get a Pentax FF frame in close future ;-))))
I expect it to be an inexpensive replacement (?) for FA 50/1.4, similar in spirit to the DA 35/2.4 AL. My guess, DA 50/1.8, priced to move at $175-225.
Andrew: wish you were right. Pentax needs more inexpensive lenses like the 35/2,4 for 180 EUR (I have it and am really happy with it). Having primes for 500-1000 EUR is nice, but for normal users pretty expensive. So better having plastic 50 for 200 EUR than space-technology-metal 50 for 1000 eur.
50*1.5 = 75. 50 *1.6 = 80. These are pretty useful portrait focal lengths, I don't understand the "no-mans land' comments about them. Sure, maybe 56 would hit the venerable "85" spot on...
Agree completely. This seems to be a hangup at dpreview. The notion that a focal length has no utility if it doesn't jibe with conservative notions of what constitutes "normal" or "portrait" is just odd.
There's already the exceptionally good 55/1.4.
Agreed, 85mm on full frame is one of the well-accepted focal lengths for portraiture. Surely a 50mm on APS-C is a perfect and cheap focal length for portraits.
So few primes, nothing in the 85-135 range....I do hope the normal prime will be something worthy to add to one's gear.
By the way - no FF lenses, does this mean something regrading the new DSLR road map?
It means that maybe it's still confidential information, and therefore they are not ready to announce them :-)
Pentax droped FA names of lenses many years ago.
Some DA lenses cover FF, some - can't. DA lenses means it's for DSLR.
"no FF lenses, does this mean something regrading the new DSLR road map?" Since Pentax has not made a 35mmFF camera since the film era, it simply adds yet more evidence for what most of us already knew: Pentax has no plans for entering the 36x24mm format DSLR niche.
There's a 100/2.8 Macro. Or if you mean 85-135 equiv, there's a 70/2.4 (~105eq) and 77/1.8 (~115eq)
my question is where is ricoh in all this? this new camera also may explain why the q is alot cheaper now. matbe pentax is discontinuing it to make way for this cam or 2 have 2 pieces of the mirroeless pie. lisa
Ricoh rules their own photo way.
Cameras usually take at least 2 years to develop. Ricoh has only just taken charge of Pentax, so it's unrealistic to expect much involvement.
DA20-40/22-38 LIMITED ZOOM is what I want!!!
I've suggested in the past this would be a good idea too. About 20-40, faster than f/4, 'limited' look & feel. My wish would be for f/3.2-constant if it can be kept small, f/3.5-constant at the slowest.
Very good news !
This clearly indicates two things:
1, Ricoh have ambitions for the brand and plan to bring out more cameras.
2, While the K-01 is funky, strange and pretty left-field, and Pentax are to be praised for daring to be different, they also have new DSLR's in the pipeline.
This has made my day !
New DSLR and K-01 are different beasts. New DSLR will be soon
thanks ricoh..thanks pentax.
go ahead!!
your k01 is interesting and not like the others.it is k mount mirror less and that is all talks.!
CP+ and Photokina... can't wait.
I might have agreed with the 50mm No Man's Land thing a year ago, but I took my longer and shorter lenses off my K5 on a whim and fired up my SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4 that had been lonely in the bag and I swear I've barely taken it off in 3 months : )
I won't buy the new 50, as my F50 1.7 sits on my K20D and the FA50 1.4 is on the K-5 ;-)
I hope Pentax do deliver on their longer lenses this time - they are seriously overdue, and I would rather buy pentax than independant. But consider this, no one else (ie major camera makers) offers an affordable lens over 300mm nowadays....

I finally moved from the Black Hills of Wyoming to an area that feeds my wilder side. The Big Horns. I realize they are not Alaska or the bear trodden, wolf prowled, west side of this amazing state but the vast forests and room to roam feed my soul and spark the steel of my heart to the flint of the wild that I've missed since I left my Lake Superior country raising. Each new sunrise finds me thankful to live here amidst pronghorns, mulies, and elk. New friends, new territory, new horizons to ramble toward and mark each day against miles traveled and country explored. Elk tenderloins and blue grouse grilled over lodgepole coals taste like tomorrow's adventure and yesterday's memories mixed with high country air and down south bourbon at the end of the day, make me yearn for September's Song and the High Country chill that comes before an autumn dawn.
"The Rocky Mountains are the marrow of the world," and this child has known no better place. I've wandered Kodiak's lonesome beaches and ragged peaks in search of the stout Sitka blacktail, gunned geese in picked corn fields, gleaned whitetails from the fat of a mid-western farm, but nothing feeds my divinely created self like a mountain morning with fresh dew making fog over a high drainage with wapiti bulls screaming thier lust to a bloody sunrise at the cieling of the continent. Rifle or bow, doesn't matter, what matters is the chase, the being there, the pounding of my heart, the catching of my breath, the rugged ground under foot, and the feeling of a heavy pack and a light heart at day's end. All of it is fuel for deep winter's dreams. The next autumn is only a fleeting moment away and before we know what has happened we are telling our tales to the next generation of young hunters whose hearts beat for what we have known. Each season, each day, each moment, stitched indelibly into the flannel fabric of our hunter's hearts to be recalled around fires whose timeless flames bring to mind the first hunts of beasts long forgotten but often remembered and dragged up from the chill ridden cellars of memory from which we never forget the dayswhen our backs were stronger, our desires keener, and our aims truer than what we, through foggy visions, never forget. May we never forget; may the hunt, the high places, the elk, the mulie buck, the sheep, the grizzly, the mountain man's spirit forever be with us all. Long live the West!

The weekly "State of the Nation" poll by Research 2000 found that President Obama is viewed favorably by 56 percent of respondents, compared to 39 percent who hold an unfavorable opinion about him. Five percent had no opinion.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) had a whopping 64 percent unfavorable rating, with just 17 percent viewing him favorably. Nineteen percent had no opinion.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) also had a 64 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 20 percent who view him favorably. Sixteen percent had no opinion.
The poll was conducted for The Daily Kos Web site.
A total of 1,200 registered voters nationwide were interviewed by telephone from March 22-25.
The margin of error is 2.8 percent, meaning there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire adult population were sampled.
Boehner and McConnell can take some solace: Democratic Congressional leaders fared poorly too.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a 54 percent unfavorable rating, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) had a 66 percent unfavorable rating, according to the poll.
Still, Congressional Democrats fare better overall than their Republican counterparts.
Congressional Democrats had a 56 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 40 percent who view them favorably. Four percent had no opinion.
By comparison, Congressional Republicans had a 71 percent unfavorable rating, with 21 percent viewing them favorably. Eight percent had no opinion.
That's an increase of 3 percent who view Democrats favorably from a week earlier, compared to a decrease of 7 percent for Republicans.
Also, the Democratic Party had a 40 percent favorable rating, compared to the Republican Party's 28 percent.
There's still seven months until the general election so anything could happen but, if those numbers persist, it might be time for GOP leaders to scale back their talk of a Republican landslide in Congressional races.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) is getting some serious face time on YouTube these days.
A person named Josh Stanley has created a mash-up of Boehner's angry "Hell no, you can't" rant on the floor of Congress from the March 21 vote on the health care reform bill with the popular song, Yes We Can. The latter was created by singer will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas, to support Barack Obama in his successful 2008 presidential bid.
On Jan. 27, President Obama gave his State of the Union Address and reminded the nation of what his administration was fighting for. Among his many promises to strengthen the economy and tighten security measures against terrorism, was an effort to work with Congress and the military over the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," a law that currently bars openly gay men and women from serving in the military.
Never one to mince words or hold back his opinions, Gore Vidal says he regrets voting for President Barack Obama last year and calls Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, "the stupidest man in the country" in a wide-ranging interview with The Times of London.
UPDATE: March organizers called to clarify that although Organizing for America and the AFL-CIO are helping publicize the event and distribute literature, they aren't official sponsors.
ORIGINAL ITEM: A march to support Democratic led efforts to reform the U.S. health care system is scheduled downtown on Oct. 18. The event is sponsored by Organizing for America, a group affiliated with President Barack Obama.

Other Ingredients: Rice Flour and Cellulose (capsule).
Contains no: sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives. Vegetarian/Vegan Product.
VCaps® is a registered trademark of Capsugel.
NOW® CoQ10 is Pharmaceutical Grade (USP). NOW CoQ10 products contain only the 100% natural, all-trans form of CoQ10 produced by fermentation.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like compound also called ubiquinone. It is an essential component of cells and is necessary for mitochondrial energy production. Years of research has shown that CoQ10 supports healthy cardiovascular and immune system functions in addition to its vital role in energy production.*
CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is a natural compound that is being used clinically to medically treat heart disease in Japan, Italy and China. CoQ-10 is also used as a natural health product in the USA, Canada and some other countries.
In the human body, CoQ-10 is found concentrated in the heart and liver tissue, where it functions in the respiratory electron transport system in mitochondria. Consequently, its toxicity to the human body is extremely low. It has ten isoprene units forming a side chain attached to benzoquinone ring and all the ten double bonds in the side chain should be ''trans'' form to be physiologically effective in medicinal applications.
Two manufacturing processes are currently being used in Japan to commercially produce CoQ-10:
1. Chemical synthesis process
2. Microbial fermentation process
In the case of chemical synthesis, relatively higher rates of ''cis''-isomers in the side chain (pharmacologically less active form) and Coenzyme Q-9 which has only 9 isoprene units in the side chain are formed as byproducts which must be eliminated from the final product through a purification process. On the other hand, the natural fermentation process yields the ''all-trans'' form Q-10 (pharmacologically active form), resulting in scarcely a trace of Coenzyme Q-9.
From 1969 to 1978, our Japanese vendor had expanded its efforts in the research and development of Single Cell Proteins (microbial protein). They have established a unique continuous fermentation process utilizing these single microbial cells, which does not allow contamination by undesirable organisms.
Based on this technology, they have developed their own proprietary process for the production of CoQ-10. The process uses a selected kind of Non-Genetically Modified Microorganism that is cultivated in a continuous fermentor. The fermentation broth is extracted, then further purified by a column chromatographic process to yield pure CoQ-10.The whole process is controlled under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and the product is closely monitored according to the ''Standards for Ingredients of Drugs in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.''
In addition to purchasing what we believe is the purest CoEnzymeQ-10 powder manufactured in Japan we analyze the incoming bulk material and each of our finished products. Our laboratory staff utilizes a sophisticated HPLC method to assure proper potency of CoQ-10 in the 10, 30, 50, 60, 100, 150, 200 and 400-milligram dose products NOW Foods sells. We work hard at making Quality affordable for you!

Whats your take on the two? Any peferences/advantages. Have been using iodine, justing think it may be time for a change for i do not like (pulp) with my water, clean or not.
I have a base camp. It works slick at basecamp. Kind of a pain if you want to refill while out during the day. I like being able to fill it up and let it work while I doing something else.
Do you pack it in on 3-5 day bivy hunts?
Yeah, the bag is a little bulky, but pretty lightweight.
I use the Katadyn Hiker and have been happy with it. I'm always alone so just need to filter enough for myself, but if there were more than maybe 2 in your group I would want somebody else to have a filter along too.
I don't want to sidetrack you, but I got the Sawyer and I can't see anything being better. Buy the blue Sawyer bottle ($36), take out the filter and splice it into a Platypus hoser line. Then use it to fill and drink, or use it to gravity flow. Works great.
I have a Katadyn Hiker pro and also I got the Sawyer gravity fed. The last couple of trips I just used the Katadyn Hiker pro, for some quick refills so I have not put the Sawyer gravity bag system though a good test yet. The Sawyer gets real good reviews from what I've read and seen so far for the gravity fed system. Not trying to sidetrack you either North T but perhaps Sawyer might be a good one to look at too.
Oh thats fine, thanks for the info. Do you like the sawyer better than pump? just heard the pumps can get hard to pump after a while. I will be with one other buddy hunting, camping close or same location and hunting from spike camp. Just trying to figure out my best option for hiking in, saving space and packabiltity. I plan on taking a bladder in addition to naglene bottle. I will take tabs for back up.

La Plata, Md. (WUSA) -- Maryland Police reported a routine traffic violation turned drug bust on Thursday in La Plata, Md.
According to police, an officer stopped a 2003 Honda Accord for a traffic violation when the officer said he noticed suspicious criminal activity, which lead to a K9 Scan on the car.
Officials say a probable search of the car revealed a stash of marijuana and a fully loaded Desert Eagle nine millimeter pistol under the back seat.
Police then did a wanted check of the serial number on the gun that showed the pistol was reported stolen through the Prince George's County Police Department in 2010.
Police arrested 36-year-old David Lee Miller of Upper Marlboro, Md. and charged him with Possession of a Stolen Regulated Firearm by prohibited person, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession w/intent to use Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Firearm in a vehicle, and Possession of Marijuana.
A search of Miller's person revealed a large amount of U.S. Currency which was seized as well as additional suspected marihuana.

Because HVAC systems include both mechanical and electrical parts that range from motors to pumps, ducts, and thermostats, career training is required for this in-demand job.
Career Training in HVAC Technology
While technicians usually focus on either installation or repair work, they typically train in both areas. Degrees are available at vocational and trade schools, community colleges, from the Armed Forces and even via distance learning. Additional training often comes in the form of apprenticeships. You'll learn about the components and construction of HVACR systems, temperature control, electronics, and how to read blueprints. Some states require HVAC technicians to have a license, but the requirements and exam content varies widely.

May 30, 2016
Gov. Phil Bryant is criticizing members of the state College Board for their opposition to increasing requirements for teaching candidates.
Bryant, in an unusual appearance at the board's Thursday meeting, accused the board and the state's public universities of trying to keep standards low.
The governor wants to require college students who want to enter teacher preparation programs to score 21 or higher on the ACT college test and to have a 3.0 GPA on pre-major coursework.
The colleges warn almost half of students admitted to teacher preparation in 2011-2012 wouldn't have qualified if Bryant's proposed standards had been in effect.
Bryant says he has reluctantly agreed to a compromise allowing a student to win admission if they score at the national median on the Praxis teacher entry test.

Smells heavenly
I received this as a gift from my mother several years ago and I still remembered how lovely it was so I told my husband that I would like some for Christmas. I was so excited when I opened my present at Christmas to see how nicely gift wrapped it was with a sweet note they included from my husband. A little goes a long way with this bubble bath and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. The fragrance is light and airy, but noticeably delightful.

All time favorite fragrance
I love this very subtle fragrance but this time it is not for me. My sister- in-law will be having her 80th birthday soon so I purchased several items of the KIMONO ROSE fragrance which arrived at my house so beautifully gift wrapped. It has been an all time favorite of her's and I know she will be thrilled with her gift
I would love if you made a bath powder in this wonderful fragrance.
soft and smooth
I bought this for my mother who loves floral scents. After opening the cap for a quick whiff to see if she would like it I knew mom would not be getting this bottle! I do not like strong floral scents but this was just right. But the test is in the actual bath. As other reviewers noted it makes nice bubbles, smells great and feels soft and comforting. Mom will get the next one!
Kimono Rose Bubble Bath
Love the fragrance and a small amount creates so many bubbles that
last through out your bath....pure luxury. Best bubble bath that I have
tried, and I have tried many!

I bought this sent for my mom because she growes roses. Not only do I like it my 17 year old daughter loves it. I guess I know what she's getting for her birthday in Feburary. Can't wait for Christmas to see if my mom agrees with us.

By David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - The White House and congressional Republicans prepared Friday to leap into the fiscal unknown, facing $85 billion in automatic budget cuts unless the two sides somehow strike an 11th hour deal at a White House meeting.
With the deadline for the cuts -- known as "the sequester" -- set to hit at midnight, President Obama and congressional leaders gathered at midmorning amid no signs of a potential agreement.
"As a nation, we can't keep lurching from one manufactured crisis to another," Obama said in a statement Thursday. "Middle-class families can't keep paying the price for dysfunction in Washington."
The Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said any alternative to the sequester must involve less federal spending, not higher taxes.
"I'm happy to discuss other ideas to keep our commitment to reducing Washington spending at today's meeting," McConnell said. "But there will be no last-minute, back-room deal and absolutely no agreement to increase taxes."
Obama and Vice President Biden met in the Oval Office with a group of congressional leaders that included the top two Republicans, McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The top congressional Democrats -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. -- also attended.
The meeting took place on deadline day for the sequester, $85 billion in automatic domestic and defense cuts that Democrats and Republicans say will hurt the economy and undermine national security. The automatic, across-the-board sequester cuts become official at midnight.
But there are no signs the parties have made progress on the issue that has divided them in this and previous budget disputes -- the best way to cut a federal debt that now tops $16.5 trillion.
Obama has called for debt reduction that includes both budget cuts and increased tax revenue by eliminating loopholes and deductions that benefit the wealthy.
"We should work together to reduce our deficit in a balanced way, by making smart spending cuts and closing special interest tax loopholes," Obama said in his statement.
Republicans, meanwhile, say Obama got higher tax rates as part of a January agreement to head off the series of tax hikes and spending cuts known as "the fiscal cliff."
Boehner said Obama and Senate Democrats "are demanding more tax hikes to fuel more stimulus spending."
The White House meeting takes place a day after Senate Republicans and Democrats blocked each other's competing sequester plans.
After those Senate votes, Obama said that "we can build on the over $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction we've already achieved, but doing so will require Republicans to compromise. That's how our democracy works, and that's what the American people deserve."
The sequester originated as part of a 2011 agreement to break another Obama-Republican budget impasse, raising the debt ceiling.
The idea: Require a series of automatic cuts, split between defense and domestic programs, so onerous that the parties would be forced to come up with a plan to cut more than $1 trillion off the debt in 10 years.
While the parties have some progress, there has been no major debt reduction deal.
Barring a breakthrough at the White House meeting, Obama will be required by the law to issue a sequestration order by 11:59 p.m.Friday.
The order will specify reductions in various budgets in amounts calculated by the Office of Management and Budget, which would also transmit a report on the cuts to Congress.
How the sequester might play out after Friday, both economically and politically, remains uncertain.
In a speech this week to a group of CEOs, Obama said the sequester "is not a cliff," but more of "a tumble downward."
Many Americans may not feel the effects for months, Obama said, "unless you live in a town that is directly impacted by a military installation, (or) unless you're a family that now is trying to figure out where to keep your kids during the day because you just lost a Head Start slot."
Obama also told the Business Council that the sequester "is going to be a big hit on the economy," and "the worst part of it is it's entirely unnecessary. It's not what we should be doing."

You know you've reached adulthood when you're the one handing out candy on Halloween. If there's still a part of you that wants to hunt for sweets with hordes of sugar-amped Disney princesses and Marvel superheroes, you have a more sophisticated option: candy bar classics reimagined by local chefs. These are definitely not carbon copies. "They should be reminiscent of the original," says Birch & Barley's pastry chef, Tiffany MacIsaac, who puts a personal twist on a pair of long-loved confections. "But they need to be grown-up takes." Here are our favorite reinventions that will make you feel like a kid again.
Jackie's Sidebar
Pastry chef Carolyn Crow is a self-admitted fangirl. Looking to combine her love of geek culture with her passion for pastry, she set out to create a Batman candy bar for her Sweet Treat Sampler ($8). "No matter whether you're talking about the comics or the movies, Batman is always going to be very dark, rich and insane," she says. Her homage to the Caped Crusader has a dark chocolate ganache center with a crumbly base of ground-up pecan pralines and crisped rice. This is enrobed in even darker chocolate and topped with a white chocolate Bat-Signal. It's a dessert worth fighting the Joker for.

We have a group calendar that is shared and managed among several users. One of these share users has created an appointment on this shared calendar but saved it as private.
It appears that with the appointment saved as private, the user that created the appointment is unable to edit or even open this appointment, perhaps because they are not the calendar's owner, and the calendar's owner is also unable to edit or even open the appointment perhaps because they are not the owner of the appointment.
Is there a way to transfer the owner of the appointment to the owner of the calendar or to modify the state of the appointment from private to public? Is there another remedy to allow access and modification of an item such as this?
If my speculation as to the reason it is blocked is correct, it seems buggy that one can create an item like this that results in a permissions block.

STEUBENVILLE - The big inning paid big dividends for Steubenville's streaking baseball team Wednesday.
Fred Heatherington's club broke open a tight contest by scoring eight times in the fifth enroute to a 12-3 victory against Weir at Vacarro Field. The victory is the fifth in a row for Big Red, which stands 8-3 and plays host to Wheeling Park today.
''We're playing well right now,'' Heatherington said. ''Our pitchers are throwing strikes and we're fielding well. Our hitters are putting the ball in play and we're running the bases well. We're doing things right in all phases of the game.''
Senior Matt Petrella had a huge game for the winners. On the mound, he allowed four hits in going the distance. At the plate, Petrella just missed hitting for the cycle (getting a triple, double and single) and drove home a pair of runs.
Freshman Jake Wypasek started for the Red Riders and did a solid job of keeping Big Red at bay. He gave way to Josh Russell with one out in the fourth.
''He did a nice job for us,'' Weir coach Bob Rosnick said. ''His off-speed stuff was effective in keeping Big Red off balance.''
Big Red was down 3-2 heading into the home half of the fourth. Bryan Pierro doubled down the third-base line to start the frame and Wypasek gave way to Russell after recording a strikeout. Petrella greeted the new hurler with a drive to left, good enough for a double and scoring Pierro to knot the score.
Pat Pizzoferrato followed with an infield single that plated Petrella and gave his team the lead for good.
Kai McClurg got the Big Red fifth going with a single, Anthony Zorne followed with a base knock and John Linn drove in a pair with his second hit of the contest. Petrella's triple and Pizzoferrato's single also produced runs. Cody Saltsman's two-run single capped the rally.
Big Red sent 13 batters to the plate and collected six hits. The winners were aided by a couple of Weir fielding miscues.
''We played lackadaisical early,'' Heatherington pointed out. ''Once we started putting the ball in play that got us going and afforded us the opportunity to have that big inning.''
Rosnick noted his Riders ''made mistakes at crucial times then their bats came alive.''
''You can't give a good hitting team like Big Red extra opportunities,'' he added. ''We had one starter in his regular position. We have four guys out with injuries and two with illnesses.
''We had a good thing going (Weir had won five out of its last six before Wednesday including a huge 9-4 victory against Linsly) but that's no excuse.''
Petrella's three hits paced Big Red's 13-hit attack. Linn, Pizzoferrato and McClurg also had multiple-hit games.
The Red Riders got to Petrella for all of their runs in the second. Jeremy Swartzmiller's two-run single was the big blow. Josh Russell added a single and Chris Russell drew a bases-loaded walk to earn a RBI.
He settled down after that outburst, retiring 12 of the next 14 batters he faced. Weir's only two runners during the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings reached on Big Red errors.
Swartzmiller and Chris Russell both managed base hits in the seventh.

Handy and incognito.
Blow up rides all over the North Shore while your hands stay protected by the Fox Racing Men's Stealth Bomber Glove. Impact protection on the knuckles takes the brutality out of nasty falls, and the suede palms minimize the potential of gnarly road rash. Mellow rides or hairy rollers, the suede thumb and silicone detailing on the palm side of the fingers locks your grip on the handlebars. A single layer of plush, rugged sheepskin on the palms absorbs vibration so you can still have a "good hand" when it comes time to relax later that night.

Reviews & Community
Wore out too fast!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
These gloves started out great. I have long thin hands, and the Large in these gloves fit great. However, after just a few rides (<200 miles), the soft plastic/rubber webbed palm padding started to crack and the stitching started to tear out. I am returning these gloves as soon as I post this review.
good sturdy gloves
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
These are good gloves, high quality leather. They are a bit narrow to size on the fingers but length is correct. Perfect for my skinny fingers. One of the gloves' heel protection pads had a sharp edge on it, but careful trimming rounded it off. I use these on my motorcycle. Perfect balance of protection and control for me.
XL is WAY too small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I have two other pair of Fox gloves in XL. They fit great. I have tried on other models and they also fit well. These are marked XL but are either a Child's or maybe Women's XL. They don't begin to fit a Man's large hands. I thought maybe Backcountry.com had a mis-marked pair so after returning these I tried on a pair at Rock & Road. Same mini size and not marked other than XL. Clearly this is a manufacture's error and this model needs to be in a clearance rounder where someone can get their little hands-on them.
Great, but not Awesome
Using the size chart, I ordered XL instead of my usual L. The fingers are a tad bit long while my hands still squeeze to get them on. The knuckle and palm fit has relaxed a bit from stretch and my ridiculous sweating, but they were very comfortable at first and airflow is great- much better than I expected.
The first thing I noticed was how nice the materials are. They feel nice on the hand and have held up so-so- wearing a little better than my previous gloves did where there is most contact. My trails are tight, and the gloves have mostly protected my hands from cuts and scrapes during mid-air tree tags. After about two months of getting soaked with sweat, the leather is stiff and seems prone to tiny holes just below the thumb. I just ripped mine after a harder tree strike with new wider bars. It tore the side of my index finger... and busted that second joint knuckle. The gloves kept me from worse damage surely. So, I'm a little impressed, but I have one big issue.
The suede thumb's black dye stains my hands! It takes a really hot and hard scrub and a day or so to get all of it off. After the ride, though, a 1/4 of my hand is black!
I'll be trying the double layered Fox Bombers next just to see if the staining is lessened and if the wearing will be even less.
These gloves are really nice. Top notch materials and construction. That said, the fit is way off. I've been riding with large Fox Digit gloves. Like most reviewers of Fox gloves, I had to go up one size when I started wearing Fox gloves. I ordered a large in the Fox Stealth Bomber thinking the fit would be close, if not the same as my other Fox gloves; however, the large Stealth Bomber wasn't even close. I could barely get my hands in them and the fingers were far too skinny even for my skinny fingers (size 9 ring finger.) Even if the XL fit my hands, I'm afraid the wrists would be mid way up my forearm based on the large. Had to return for a refund and will stick to my old Digits.
I had the same sizing issue.
fox gloves
pretty bomber. light but yet durable.
fox stealth bomber gloves
nice but overpriced and under sized. fingers are too narrow and too long.
I agree, they look GREAT, but the fit is terrible! As noted fingers are too narrow and too long, add to the extra seams for the rubber padding around the outside of your palms and your have a really uncomfortable fit during long rides. I really wanted to like these but in the end I had to return them.

The Mississippi Department of Education is reviewing safety procedures in school districts across the state.
In the meantime, the Lauderdale County Sheriff's department says that beginning on Monday, officers will now be posted at West Lauderdale Elementary and Northeast Lauderdale Elementary schools. Of course, officers are already posted at Clarkdale Attendance Center and all other middle and high schools in the county.
As for Meridian Public Schools, Superintendent Dr. Alvin Taylor says the district definitely has a heightened awareness of school safety, as does every district across the country. Taylor says additional training is planned for later this month for all of the district's school resource officers.
"Just maintaining the safety of the campuses both within and without," Taylor says. "And just keep our schools safe from any interior threats or exterior threats."
Taylor says the district is doing facility studies, looking at ways to keep uninvited guests from entering the schools.
In Mississippi, state law says there is a zero-tolerance policy for having weapons and committing violent acts on school property.

Help Support our Students
Kepler offers the astrology community a broad forum for astrologers interested in furthering their knowledge. We have formal 10-week courses as well as less formal workshops on specific topics. We also have a unique resource that all astrologers can benefit from: the research database in the MDM Electronic Research Library.
As part of our passion for and commitment to the astrological community, for those with little time or money, we have created our regular free webinars.
If you care about astrological education, please donate now.
We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all cash donations are deductible.
The Alexandria iBase Project
Kepler has always been concerned with the preservation of our astrological and esoteric heritage. To further this goal, it has worked with the Urania Trust, Star Cycles and others to develop the Alexandria iBase Project. This project will become its own corporate entity dedicated to the scanning of astrological papers and out-of-copyright materials and the development of an online database that provides links to these digitized materials as well as a catalog of the collections of participating libraries worldwide.
We are in the beginning stages of this project. We have received a $30,000 donation dedicated to high quality scanning and the initial development of the online library software. Our first major project is to scan the professional writings and research papers of Marion D. March. We will use these papers to help us demonstrate the potential of this database project by the end of April. Incorporation of the Alexandria iBase Project will be complete by Summer. For more information, please CLICK HERE
Please help us with this important project. If you use the button below, your donation will be restricted to the development of the Alexandria iBase.
I strongly encourage astrologers to add the Alexandria Ibase Project to their estate planning. Several modest estates could help fund this project for a long time, helping to establish a permanent location and creating a trust that could provide staffing and other essential elements of a permanent archival collection—something any field seeking solid legitimacy must have. -- Anne Beversdorf, Astrologer

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/no-de...cal-deal-nearsSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Boehner of running a dictatorship, citing his refusal to call a vote on legislation to keep taxes steady for most while letting them rise at upper incomes. The bill "would pass overwhelmingly," Reid predicted, and said the Ohio Republican won't change his mind because he fears it might cost him re-election as speaker when the new Congress convenes next week.
Boehner seems "to care more about keeping his speakership than keeping the nation on a firm financial footing," he said in remarks on the Senate floor.
A few hours later, McConnell expressed frustration and blamed the standoff on Obama and the Democrats. "Republicans have bent over backwards. We stepped way, way out of our comfort zone," he said, referring to GOP offers to accept higher tax rates on some taxpayers.
Bent over backwards!!! Geez.
Plan B...which they couldn't even pass!!!
"We wanted an agreement, but we had no takers. The phone never rang, and so here we are five days from the new year and we might finally start talking," McConnell said.The bill doesn't include extensions for the expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC), Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the American Opportunity Credit (AOC) that were included in the 2009 stimulus. Which means that the "working poor, on average, would see taxes go up between $1,000 and $1,500 dollars." Few, however, making more than $100,000 see their taxes increase. But wait, that's not all.
Not content just to make poor people pay more taxes, Boehner is taking stuff away from them, too in the companion bill to "Plan B," the sweetener bill that contains replacement cuts for the automatic cuts included in last years' Budget Control Act.
That bill voids both the military spending cuts and domestic spending cuts set to take place in 2013 and replaces them with a host of cuts to domestic spending, including:
Cuts to food stamps that could knock millions of low-income Americans out of the program;
Cuts to Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers meals to seniors or other individuals who are unable to prepare their own food;
Cuts funding to health exchanges that will be created under Obamacare and funding for Medicaid included in the same law;
Cuts to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that will yield no cost savings, but will make bailouts of big banks more likely;
Denying the Child Tax Credit to the parents of American children, if the parents are undocumented immigrants.
Still, he warned: "Republicans aren't about to write a blank check for anything the Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff."
The problem here is that there has been a coup in the GOP. 50 or so rebel 'Tea Party' fanatic/ nutjobs, all bought and paid for by special interests, can block anything the leadership wants to do.
Special interests.
Got that?The Sunlight Foundation, a group that pushes for more transparent politics and policymaking, on Friday reported that federal records show that two mystery companies in September donated over $12 million to the super PAC of FreedomWorks, the tea party-supporting organization that this week was rocked by the abrupt resignation of its chairman, Dick Armey, the former Republican House majority leader. These contributions accounted for more than half of the $23.2 million the group raised for the 2012 campaign, and they came from two shadowy Knoxville-Tennessee-based firmsSpecialty Group, Inc., and Pike Development LLCthat publicly have no reason to exist other than apparently to make contributions and mask the true source of the money. Moreover, Armey tells Mother Jones that he knew nothing about the donations or the origins of the cash and that he quit FreedomWorks partly because of a lack of transparency.
After the Sunlight Foundation posted this reportnoting that the sources of this funding "remain shadowy"Mother Jones contacted Armey and asked if he had been aware of these contributions and of where the money came from. He replied, "I know nothing about this."
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmem...eedomworks.phpThe Washington Posts story of former House Majority Leader Dick Armeys attempted coup of the tea party group FreedomWorks had the political press buzzing on Wednesday. But in the background, behind the dramatic account of a high-stakes D.C. power struggle, Amy Gardners story also supplied some answers to one of the abiding money mysteries of 2012 election.
In early November, several news outlets ran stories about a Knoxville, Tenn. man named William S. Rose III. Over six weeks that began in late September, using two newly formed companies with no other apparent purpose, Rose gave more than $12 million to FreedomWorks. The donations made Roses companies among the biggest corporate donors of the election cycle. In response to the press interest over his motivations, Rose released a six-page statement, denying that he or his companies were shadowy but insisting that the business of one of the companies, Specialty Group, was a family secret that would be kept secret as allowed by applicable law for at least another 50 years.
The Posts story this week reported that the money given by Roses companies actually came from Richard Stephenson, a reclusive Illinois millionaire and the founder and chairman of the board of the for-profit Cancer Treatment Centers of America. From the Post:
Rose, who could not be reached for comment, has said publicly he would not answer questions about the donations. But according to three current and former FreedomWorks employees with knowledge of the donations, the money originated with Stephenson and his family, who arranged for the contributions from the Tennessee firms to the super PAC.
[Adam] Brandon, FreedomWorks executive vice president, told colleagues starting in August that Stephenson would be giving between $10 million and $12 million, these sources said. Brandon also met repeatedly with members of Stephensons family who were involved in arranging the donations, the sources said.
Stephenson attended a FreedomWorks retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyo., in August at which a budget was being prepared in anticipation of a large influx of money, according to several employees who attended the retreat. At the retreat, Stephenson dictated some of the terms of how the money would be spent, the employees said.
There is no doubt that Dick Stephenson arranged for that money to come to the super PAC, said one person who attended the retreat. I can assure you that everyone around the office knew about it.
