text: The Macallan brand is synonymous with top-tier single malt Scotch, and the unsung hero of the distillery's portfolio is its Cask Strength. This malt hails from the Easter Elchies House of Macallan overlooking the River Spey. Like The Macallan 18-Year-Old, the Cask Strength has a sherried finish that makes it bright, rich and accessible. This offering explodes with caramel, brown sugar, toffee and vanilla flavors so complex and intertwined that it drinks like a dessert.

April 15, 2016
Shopify on Wednesday announced that it has agreed to purchase Kit CRM, whose Kit chatbot automatically sends out marketing text messages for online stores. It also lets businesses run targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram, make recommendations based on store activities, post on social media and use functionality provided by other social media apps, Shopify CMO Craig Miller said.
Fake Loyalty
April 13, 2016
There's an interesting connection between customer relationships in subscription businesses and loyalty, Zuora CEO Tien Tzuo wrote recently. His article had particular resonance for me, since I just wrote a book about customer loyalty myself. My research is full of old-style approaches to customer loyalty that aren't really about loyalty so much as they are about, shall we say, customer coercion.
Marketers Poised to Run the Customer Experience Show, Survey Says
April 12, 2016
Marketing will shape the customer experience by 2020, based on a recent Marketo study of nearly 500 chief marketing officers and senior marketing executives worldwide. The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted the research on behalf of Marketo. Eighty-percent of the respondents believed their departments would exercise significant influence over business strategy by 2020.
Please Hold the Music
April 6, 2016
Remember when your mother used to yell up the stairs to get you to turn your music down? Sometimes, in the age before sensitivity awareness, your dad would do the yelling and he'd substitute noise for music. Ah, the good old days. Too bad they aren't here right now yelling at vendors. ConsumerAffairs.com is the brainchild of James R. Hood, a former Washington, D.C., journalist.
The Sales Process Starts With Retention
April 5, 2016
Despite the numbers that show how lucrative retention is in an increasingly subscription-driven economy, the emphasis has been on new customer acquisition. That is still true, according to a recent study. Forty-two percent of the firms surveyed said they were increasing their budgets for customer acquisition, while only 33 percent said the budget for retention would increase.
Study: Enterprises Shift Analytics Focus to Back Office
March 30, 2016
Companies have shifted their analytics efforts from consumer-focused processes to operations, according to the results of a survey released last week by Capgemini. Seventy percent of 600 executives said they focused more on operational analysis, and more than 80 percent said analytics in operations plays a pivotal role in driving profits or creating competitive advantage, according to the survey.
Amazon Power User Excommunicated
March 23, 2016
Amazon has carved another notch in its belt, adding one more customer to what it has called a "tiny fraction of cases" of people who make too many returns. The company banned Greg Nelson, a computer programmer, from shopping at the site because he returned 37 of 343 items purchased, according to a report last week. The returned products were damaged, faulty or not as described, Nelson asserted.
Comcast Seeks Customers' Good Graces Through Amazon Sales
March 22, 2016
Comcast on Monday announced that it would begin selling its Xfinity TV, phone and Internet services through Amazon. The services debuted on the new Amazon Cable Store Web page, which promises to help customers choose a cable TV plan. All of the plans offered include high-definition and DVR services, along with more than 30 Xfinity products and services.
A Future Without Work?
March 17, 2016
Periodically, a blatantly silly idea gains currency, spreading throughout society, and it has one of two effects: Either it scares the heck out of people, or they become enraptured with its seeming plausibility. Last week, The New York Times published a piece set as a dialog between two economics writers, titled, "A Future Without Jobs?" I thought it fell into the silly category.
IDC Offers Insurance Companies New CRM Vision
March 16, 2016
IDC Health Insights on Monday outlined best practices for customer engagement strategies to help health insurance companies adopt a semiretail approach to interacting with members or patients. Health insurers need an integrated customer engagement strategy enabling automated interactions, shared communications, and appropriate transaction and information transparency, IDC said.
LiveOps Launches Contact Center as a Service Platform
March 10, 2016
LiveOps Cloud on Tuesday unveiled its enterprise-level CxEngage Contact Center as a Service, or CCaaS, platform. The omnichannel open framework, which was built from the ground up, integrates with standard APIs. It essentially links applications such as CRM, workforce management and business intelligence to help agents make better customer service decisions, according to the company.
Through the CRM Lens
March 9, 2016
This is delicate and I will be scrupulously neutral in these paragraphs so as to offend no one, but I thought it would be fun to attempt an interpretation of the current political climate from the perspective and sensibilities of CRM. It will be different from any other analysis you might have come across because I do not wish to discuss candidates. I am all about the customer.
Generation Customer: Defined by Attitude, Not Age
March 7, 2016
I hate the idea of chopping our population into generations: the Greatest Generation, the baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, millennials and so on. The assumption is that everyone born during an arbitrarily selected time period shares certain traits. It also results in people projecting ideas -- often romantic ones -- onto huge groups of people.
Apple Geniuses Flock to Twitter
March 4, 2016
Apple on Thursday launched a Twitter channel to field support questions from users of its products, as well as to offer them tricks and tips. By Friday, the @AppleSupport account had 134,000 followers and had sent more than 3,000 tweets. Some of the tweets came from customers whose tech issues had been resolved. "I'm 99% sure my #iphone6s was just fixed from the cloud," Kate Cleveland wrote.
The Salesforce Health Cloud
March 2, 2016
Salesforce is opening a can of snakes with its new Health Cloud, which became generally available this week. Having worked in the healthcare software industry for many years in the last century, I have mixed feelings about the announcement. While I'm relieved that an innovative company is taking on healthcare software at last, part of me thinks it could be a long and expensive slog.
Mining the Customer Base
February 24, 2016
One of the biases inherent in CRM is its orientation toward new business. This might sound strange to most people, but really, I think of it as the startup echo chamber. It's a bias in part because CRM was invented by new companies for new companies. However, the "C" part, customer, involves more than simply acquiring new ones, especially for established companies.
Twitter Puts Some Eggs in Customer Service Basket
February 22, 2016
Twitter last week announced two tools designed to help businesses improve their customer service capabilities. One product would allow users to move from sending companies tweets to using Direct Messages, according to product manager Ian Cairns. Companies will be able to embed on their sites a Direct Messages link that would allow customers to send information directly.
CRM and GDP
February 17, 2016
I was gobsmacked when I read this in Robert Gordon's The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War: "Electric light, the first reliable internal combustion engine, and wireless transmission ... were all invented within the same three-month period at the end of 1879." It's a book full of surprises emanating from an analysis of major inflection points.
Pegasystems Takes Customer Service Far Afield
February 12, 2016
Pegasystems has launched Pega Field Service, an application designed expressly to streamline and automate critical components of field service operations. The software's key components are a customer service dashboard and a mobile application that enables organizations to centralize distributed field service work. Pega Field Service keeps track of all aspects of the field service process.
Marketers Make Customer Experience More Personal
February 11, 2016
Marketers this year will ramp up their efforts at personalization, getting a 360-degree view of customers and improving the customer experience, and they will leverage multiple strategies, tools and solutions to do so, a study released Tuesday by the CMO Council found. Deploying digital analytics and life cycle management tools will take the lead, followed by personalization platforms.
Sprint to Lay Off Thousands of Customer Service Reps
January 28, 2016
Sprint plans to lay off about 2,500 employees, including five vice presidents, according to news reports this week. About 2,000 of the cuts are in customer service. The company reportedly will close or reduce operations at six customer care centers: at its Overland Park headquarters in Kansas and in Colorado, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
The Gears of E-Commerce
January 26, 2016
As the U.S. retail industry puts another long holiday shopping season behind it, a few changes appear to be taking place. For one thing, it appears there's a new recipe for success. Growing a business requires more than setting up a fancy website, placing inventory into a warehouse, and engaging a service to make speedy deliveries. That's in part because customer expectations have changed.
The Top 20 CRM Blogs of 2015, Part 2: The Top 10
January 25, 2016
Almost a decade ago, the first edition of this list was tough to compile. There simply weren't that many CRM blogs that were consistent (we set the annual minimum number of posts at eight), vendor-agnostic and -- most important of all -- high quality. That number has increased over the years, but one interesting phenomenon has been that the people at the top have held onto their spots.
Demandware Teams With eBay on Omnichannel E-Commerce Solution
January 19, 2016
Demandware and eBay Enterprise on Monday announced an alliance to develop a fully enabled omnichannel commerce solution that will provide integrated access to Demandware's Commerce Cloud platform and eBay Enterprise's suite of back-end and fulfillment technologies and services. The solution will let clients significantly reduce the complexity of managing their front- and back-end systems.
The Top 20 CRM Blogs of 2015: Part 1
January 15, 2016
What makes a great CRM blog? Generally, the same things that make a great CRM implementation: good planning, thoughtful responses to a changing market, consistent posting (the "adoption" part of blogging), the right technology, and people with the right personality. It's the classic "people, processes and technology" trilogy, really. The blogs that made our annual list of the best blogs and bloggers are one in a million.
Vendor of the Future
January 13, 2016
I spent part of last week listening to presentations about the customer of the future, and of course it made me think. As usual, I didn't think in a straight line. As you've heard from me before, customers are still the human beings that walked out of the ice age 10,000 years ago or even the Cro-Magnons of 35,000 years ago. It takes geologic time to observe changes in a species.
FordPass Aims to Engage Customers on Their Terms
January 12, 2016
Ford on Monday announced FordPass, a platform focusing on enhancing the customer experience. FordPass includes a Marketplace offering mobility services; 24x7 access to FordGuides, which are personal assistants to help customers with mobility challenges; membership loyalty rewards; and FordHubs -- select stores that let customers experience Ford's latest innovations.
The Cloud Complexity Challenge
January 12, 2016
Growing acceptance of cloud computing quickly is becoming a double-edged sword for the leading players in the SaaS, PaaS and IaaS marketplaces. As a broader set of customers adopts cloud-first strategies, even the biggest cloud players are being challenged to scale their operations to keep pace with escalating customer demands without becoming too complex.
Taxpayer Advocate Blasts IRS' Planned Customer Service Revamp
January 8, 2016
The Taxpayer Advocate Service has released its annual report to Congress. Among other things, it warns that a five-year plan to revamp IRS operations may result in a substantial reduction in telephone and face-to-face interactions with taxpayers. "TAS has been left with the distinct impression that the IRS's ultimate goal is to get out of the business of talking with taxpayers," the report states.
Uber Settles With New York AG After 'Playing God' With Data
January 8, 2016
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Thursday announced a deal that would require Uber to encrypt geolocation information about its riders, as well as enhance its data security practices. The AG opened an investigation into Uber in 2014, in response to allegations that the service had tracked riders and displayed their locations in an aerial format, known internally as the "God View."

Very nice. What do you use for your concepts? Orthos?
We base our lines on a variety of things, much of which is organic design and gothic cathedral architecture. Unfortunately, Orthos is unfamiliar to me.
By orthos I meant orthographic drawings i.e. front side top without perspective. Do you do any ancient weapon remakes? I'm curious about getting a replica made, or at least seeing if it's possible
We haven't done any replicas as of yet. But we do have some projects on the table. We might pull one or two out of our hat by the end of next year if everything goes very well. That being said, a lot of our drawing is simple 2d, no perspective single view. We let the 3d happen in the real world.
I'd love to get a replica of a scissor katar made at some point. It's an ancient Indian fist 'spike' weapon. I think it would look amazing in your style of craftsmanship, hence my inquiry Keep up the great work!
I'm getting into blacksmithing, and I have to say, this is a gorgeous blade. Absolutely beautiful.

The Second Commandment of Marriage: Don't Love a Substitute
In the second commandment recorded in Exodus 20:4-6, we are given the second principle for a strong marriage,
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
God commanded that there be no carved images, whether in heaven, in earth, or in the sea. He wanted to make sure everything was covered. And He said not to bow down to them and worship them. God said, "Do not make images of Me and then worship them. Don not love or worship a substitute for Me. Love Me."
Religion has made pictures, statues, and idols and then called them holy. They are all imitations. They are all substitutes. And in marriage we should have no substitutes either.
Love your husband only. Love your wife only. Do not look for fulfillment in some other relationship or in some other thing. Find your fulfillment in that relationship.
Pornography is a substitute. When a man watches pornography, he is loving a substitute. He is directing his passion and his sexuality toward those images. That is a substitute, and he is robbing his wife of that intimacy.
Do not allow any substitute, no matter what it might be, to take the place of intimacy with your spouse.

The Ten Commandments for Marriage
Some of the greatest marriage advice of all time comes from an unlikely source: the Ten Commandments, which were actually wedding vows for God's people. God was saying, "If you want a long-term relationship with Me that's healthy and growing, here's what needs to happen." In The Ten Commandments for Marriage, Bayless Conley unpacks how the Ten Commandments are actually a road map to a strong and vibrant marriage. They're God's wise counsel for you today, whether you're married or plan to be! So please request your copy of The Ten Commandments for Marriagewhen you give today.

Woman at murder trial recalls her boss being shot: 'I didn't know what was happening'
MCKINNEY – Saeideh Shams was walking alongside her boss when the shooting started.
"I was in shock. I didn't know what happened," Shams testified as she saw Kevin Murray fall to the sidewalk beside her.
She testified on the first day in the murder trial of Alireza Nikmanesh, 42, who is accused of fatally shooting Murray on Oct. 30, 2014. If convicted, Nikmanesh faces up to life in prison.
He pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
Shams said Nikmanesh had been transferred that week to the Pizza Hut she managed at Custer and Parker roads in Plano. But Murray had called her to serve as an interpreter that night for his meeting with Nikmanesh, whose native language is Farsi.
The three met across the street from the Pizza Hut at a Subway located in a shopping center at 6 p.m. Shams said she translated for Murray, who told Nikmanesh that his aggressive behavior toward a fellow driver days earlier was unacceptable. He was being fired.
Murray tried to give Nikmanesh his last paycheck, but he refused to take it, Shams said. Instead, Nikmanesh walked out to his silver Dodge Caliber that was parked directly in front of the Subway. Shams said she followed him out to get him to take his paycheck. Murray joined her, and they talked some more through the open car door to Nikmanesh.
Shams said she and Murray turned to go back inside the Subway.
That's when Nikmanesh stood up and began firing the gun he had grabbed from inside his car, prosecutors say.
Shams said she thought it might be a fake gun. But then she saw blood. She and Nikmanesh exchanged words in Farsi. "I asked why, what happened, they try to help you," she testified. "He said, 'They annoyed me.'"
John Ellett said he was pulling into the shopping center for his martial arts lesson when the shooting started. He told jurors he saw the man in the red shirt fire several shots, pause and turn toward a silver car. "Then he walked very directly at the victim" and continued shooting, said Ellett, who reported hearing no yelling, just shooting.
Ellett said he parked his car, got his cell phone out and started taking photos.
Sherri Virden told the jury she was in the back seat of a car driving on Parker Road when she heard the shots, turned and saw a man in a red shirt firing a gun. She had the driver pull in and park. She told jurors she saw the man place the gun on the floor inside the car and take a seat on the curb for the adjoining parking space.
Jurors saw one of Ellett's photos showing Nikmanesh hunched over on the curb, facing the Subway and Murray sprawled on the ground with Shams standing over him.
Virden, who was a nursing assistant, said Murray was in bad shape. She told jurors as a Christian, she wanted Murray to know "it's OK to go to God."
Michael Vernon, a captain with the Plano Fire Department, had just parked his truck to grab a bite at Subway when he saw Murray lying on the sidewalk. He ran up and asked where the shooter was. "Who did this?" he asked. He asked a second time and told jurors the man on the curb half raised his hand and said, "I did."
Vernon said he thought it was unusual for Nikmanesh to be sitting there with his hands in his lap. "I was surprised he was as calm as he was," he told jurors.
Vernon said he did CPR on Murray until paramedics arrived.
Police recovered 11 spent .22-caliber shells near the driver's side door of Nikmanesh's car. An unfired round lay on the floor of the front seat. On the floor on the passenger side, police found the semiaumatic pistol.
Prosecutor Lisa Milasky King told jurors that Murray was struck 10 times, seven in the back.
"There's no question in this case [Nikmanesh] killed Kevin," she told jurors during her opening statement.
Defense attorneys Bill Schultz and John Schomburger declined to make an opening statement.
Testimony in the case resumes Thursday.

I couldn't believe it. I did my research I typed in google . com. and entered his 480-634-5482. I than entered his name Greg Lara checks, just to see if anybody had this problem. Wow! I can't believe this guy, not only does he have bad business traits. He Rips Hookerers Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently, he write them bad checks as well. I thought I needed to write some kind of report, I haven't yet recovered my money. He isn't paying the hookers he apparently gets. So I am wondering why the $4800.00 I gave him is so hard to get back. This is my warning to all who see this. Don't Do Business With Greg A. Lara!

To give you another example, chuck had a much better career than rampage ith UFC, still got beat twic and losing his belt was the beginning of the end.
And you just can't bring people from other weight classes and promotions into this as Tito hd no control over those things.
People love to the Tito, but he was the longest reigning lhw champ ever an is a sure fire hall of famer.
Anyone who thins otherwise is. A Hall of Lamer
First part, I agree that Tito is beloved, the UFC did a great job building stars. Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, and BJ Penn have huge fan bases. Now a big reason for that is hype, and business, and building guys up and promoting them.
But when you look at Tito's career objectively their are certain things that you simply can not argue. First and foremost he was a UFC champion who didn't beat the previous champion. You may not respect Quinton Jackson and Forrest Griffin but they defeated the LHW champion to win those titles. They weren't hand picked to fight another hand picked guy to be a champion to quote a famous wrestling figure...to be the man you must beat the man.
You bring up "guys from other weight classes", lets be real here for a second Mark Coleman, Randy Couture, Bas Rutten, Kevin Randleman, Maurice Smith, and Vitor Belfort are not "true" heavyweights, they competed by choice (or by force) in the HW division until the true HW's came in. But even if you don't wish to credit them as LHW's, excluding Randy Couture who won and held the UFC LHW belt twice as being out of his weight class is crazy. It's also borderline delusional seeing as how he beat Tito for the title.
Wanderlei Silva had a title run that was almost twice as long as Tito's against arguably better guys. Shogun's 12-1 Pride run was devastating against guys that are still in the top ten today. Quinton became the first unified undisputed champion of the division. Dan Henderson beat champions in four different weight classes. And Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, and Frank Shamrock all UFC LHW champions went 4-0 against Tito. And all save for Frank outlasted him in the sport. To quote another wrestler can you look at Tito and say he was the best their is, the best their was, and best their ever will be?
Forrest Griffin, rose to the top of a combined roster of 205ers from the WFA, Pride and UFC. Forrest didn't go for years without a win once the companies merged. And Forrest, beat Tito...twice. And to give out one last wrestling quote, Forrest Griffin was simply the best in the world at we he did.

There are basically a couple of alternatives:
There are basically a couple of alternatives:
Expert Windshield Repair in Atlanta
While not nearly as cost effective as doing it yourself, a windshield repair professional will save you time and maybe money as well in the long run. There are numerous DIY windshield repair kits that are readily available to consumers, however most utilize sub standard resins which tend to not provide a uniform and professional appearance. For the most part, a windshield repair which is completed by a skilled technician will normally run you around $75 and will usually barely be noticeable. Various minor details, that need to be taken care of, may arise in an auto glass repair and can be the source of much grief for the do-it-yourselfer. In addition to this, the majority of auto glass shops will guarantee their technician's repairs against the damage from developing any further, which is a significant benefit. Shops like Auto Glass Chattanooga the best windshield replacement Chattanooga has to offer. There is also Auto Glass Pro Shop in Charlotte, NC if you're ever out that way. Here at Auto Glass Atlanta we provide a warranty with each repair that we perform. We guarantee the damage not to spread any further or we will take the cost of the repair off of a windshield replacement. Be sure to ask our representative when you call for a quote if you need any more information on our no-leak warranty.
DIY Windshield Repair Kits
To most people, trying to repair your own windshield would perhaps seem a little foolish, but the truth is you might be confident enough to fix your current windshield on your own. If you are ready to try it for yourself ther are plenty of nearby automotive parts retailers who stock DIY windshield repair kits which are classified as single use applications. These types of products are typically straight forward, but are not able to deliver professional level results unless it is the perfect break and conditions. The biggest drawback to this is in the event you do make an attempt to repair your windshield and it does not work as advertised, then a professional windshield repair specialist is not going to be capable of repairing the affected area once any resin has previously been administered. This could certainly turn out to be quite a bit more costly when you have to shell out the money for a total windshield replacement. Here at Auto Glass Atlanta we obviously do not recommend that you take on this task yourself. Since we no longer perform windshield repairs, we recommend calling Superb Windshield Repair. Their expertly trained rock chip repair technicians are much more qualified for the task and at a fraction of the cost of a full glass replacement, it shouldn't be a hard decision. Call them today for a fast and friendly solution.

S. WhitmireAtlanta, GA
The new windshield looks great. During a recent relocation to Atlanta from Memphis I picked up a stone chip from the truck in front of me that appeared to crack across the glass instantaneously. Your tech appeared to be experienced and was genuinely friendly. In this day and age that is certainly a trait that is becoming more and more difficult to come across. Much appreciation for the outstanding service and a job well done.
F. HixsonNorth Decatur, GA
The bad weather yesterday knocked down a limb that totally ruined my windshield to the point that it was undriveable. I didn't know exactly what to do or how to go about having it repaired, but the truth is you all really helped me out of a tight spot. The guy you sent out was really good at what he does and I just felt like I needed to shoot you a quick email to tell you how much I appreciate the same day replacement. I was really anticipating to be without a car for a couple of days, but that wasn't the case. I have already recommended you to a couple people and Google +'d your page. Hope that helps you guys out. :-)
J. McGradyNorcross, GA
Just bought a truck last week and didn't notice a small crack in the front windshield. I called Auto Glass Atlanta and was quoted a much lower price than the other 4 places I called. The installer that came out to the house was very pleasant to deal with and explained the whole process step by step. Quite reassuring any time someone is able to do that. I am going to keep the telephone number and give y'all a call next time too.
C. LangfordTucker, GA
The little crack in my glass disappeared! You have no idea how grateful I am that you could send someone out to my office last week to do a windshield repair on my car. Justin showed up when he said he would and had the crack filled in less than 20 minutes. A really great guy by the way. It looks even better than I thought it would. I'll definitely be hanging on to your number, thanks.
M. WatsonEllenwood, GA
With all the recent storms this spring I was lucky enough to have hail bust my windshield. Yay! Lucky Me! I called a few places to try to find a replacement, but everybody wanted to put me off until next week. Your shop was the only one that said you could have it in the next day. I know how chaotic it must have been with that much glass damage around town. Thanks for fitting me in so soon.
P. AllenAtlanta, GA
You guys are awesome! One of my employees slung a rock into a car window while weedeating. Having used you all before in a similar situation I figured you could take care of it without a hitch and I was right. Once again you showed up the same day and fixed the problem for me. I guess I might need to add your number to speed dial. Thanks for making my customer happy.
M. Brown East Point, GA
I was a little skeptical at first when your price was $40-50 less than the other guys, but went ahead and tried you out. I am not disappointed in the least bit. I can't see what that extra money would have gotten me that your technician didn't deliver. The windshield looks great and he was very courteous and polite. You saved me some money and showed me how easy a windshield replacement can be.
N. PattersonAtlanta, GA
Excellent service at a great price. You can't even tell the back glass was ever broken. I wasn't expecting the installer to clean up all the glass, but that is a big bonus. Great job guys!

High-performance, L-series telephoto zoom lens combining light weight and compactness
with an f/4 maximum aperture. Inner focusing and the ring USM enable quick and
quiet autofocusing. Also, a circular polarizing filter can be attached and used
without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focusing.
The tripod collar (sold separately) is the same one used with the EF 300mm f/4L

This lens is simply the finest zoom lens ever made. I've owned several lenses in this range and have used many more - including Leicas, Nikkors, Sigmas, and other Canons. This is the sharpest 70-200mm f/4 of them all, and is in fact sharper (wide open at f/4) than even f/2.8's I've tried including the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. Its a great value, the image quality is without equal in this focal range, and the colors are crisp and contrasty. And theres the added benefit of it being much lighter than the f/2.8L's by a whole 1.5 pounds. Over the course of a long day of shooting that extra weight will fatigue you. The build quality is perfect if you ask me. The zoom ring is completely smooth which makes flashzoom shots a breeze, also any kind of zooming shot will have smoother zoom streaks. The focus ring is buttery smooth as well, making tack sharp manual a breeze as well. The 4-Stop IS works flawlessly making shots @ 200mm at speeds as long as 1/25 and 1/15 even possible. The only perceivable con is that you might not like the white/beige lens barrel or lack of an included tripod collar. I like the color as it doesn't absorb heat as much as black does making it a bit cooler to the touch on a long hot day of shooting outside. The tripod collar you don't really need as the lens is light and very well balanced, but it would be a nice detail to include in the price.

Hard to take a good shot with this lens. I keep reading reviews saying "crisp" and clear with great color saturation, yet I find just the opposite. Severe focus issues, poor color and overall cheap looking shots, Ironically, I switch back to the inexpensive 75-300mm that came with my camera (T3i) and I'm back to outstanding pictures. Very frustrating. Thought maybe it was my imagination, but this was my second half day shoot that produced suboptimal shots. Really want to like this lens. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Have a lemon?

Comments about Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Camera Lens:
My first and only L lens, this zoom exceeds my expectations, amazingly sharp at all apertures. It fits into my smallish camera bag, and is rather light. Minor distortion at the extreme ends is easily dealt with in processing software. Unless you have an EG-D screen with lines (5D and 6D SLRs), or call up the "level" in Live View, frame a little large, so that you don't lose image area cropping after straightening your horizon.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great lens

I'm only 14 and I got this lens for Christmas. I couldn't be happier!!! It's a great lens but not the best aperture range [only going down to 4]. But still a great lens!!!
Interesting, sharp, powerful***
By Rooster
from Houston, TX, United States
Interestingly enough, I got this lens by accident. My girlfreind was going through her stuff after a divorce settlement and it was laying underneath a lot of her belongings. I have recently gotten into photography on a more serious side but lacked a lot of great equipment. This is definitely far better than any lens Ive used. It is a little long but its impressive to look at. The clarity of the shots is impressive. You have to stay still or use a tripod when in full zoom or the shake is too great. I have captured wonderful phtos of our cat, at a distance of course, that rival my other lens. I simply love it!!!
My Favorite and Most Reliable Lens
By Anonymous
from New Jersey, United States
I have had 70-200L lenses for the past 8 years starting with a f4L non-IS. Around 2 years ago I upgraded to the f4L IS version. I was highly impressed with the colors and sharpness on my original 70-200 but my IS copy makes those look dull and soft. The IS, despite being one of Canon's older IS technologies, does make a difference. As for the sharpness, it really can't be beat. My 70-200 is perfect proof as to why this range lens is regarded as one of Canon's best L zoom lenses on the market. I have found it to be sharpest between f/7.1-9, but have had no issues with the sharpness even when being used wide open at that f/4. I personally recommend this lens to anyone and everyone. If you don't have a 70-200 L in your gear bag, you really are missing out.

Great lens at a great price
By SatcomRanger
from Knoxville, TN
Absolutely love this lens. It's my first "L" lens and it works flawlessly. Image quality is superb with minimal vignetting around the edges which is easily corrected in post processing. The auto focus is fast, accurate and quiet. Even at f4 we can still get a nice blurry background but our subject is still in precise focus. It also has great contrast and clarity and the images taken with it are just spectacular!

Historic Telephoto Zoom Masterpiece
By Lionheart
from Queens, NY
The Canon 70-200mm F/4 USM is quite an amazing telephoto zoom lens. I wanted to wait a while before writing a review, but I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with this lens. Although this version is an older model with no IS, it still performs very well and I am always impressed with the quality of my photography. This was my first telephoto lens and I knew I had to own one since the day I saw it at an electronic store through the glass display window; I was in awe! One of the main purposes of the 70-200mm F/4 is for medium range photography where subjects can be shot at a distance. The minimal focal distance already starts at 70mm, so more than likely indoor or close quarter photography may not by the best environment for this lens. Obtaining a shallow depth of field at maximum aperture F/4 produces really sharp results. The Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) helps the lens' Auto Focus (AF) operate very fast and quiet simultaneously; other standard models tend to make louder AF sounds and may struggle depending on what the camera is attempting to identify as the subject. If you struggle with the AF, MF is always to secondary option to manually control your own shots. I suggest using a lens filter to protect lens glass to prevent or eliminate scratches or worse. The 1.4x and 2x tele-converters can be used with this lens, I have the 2x version already. Even at 135mm to 200mm (which I hear is really 216mm to 320mm for my Rebel T5 APS-C 1.6x crop factor sensor), any perceived distortion is not even noticeable to the naked eye. However, I will admit that once the focal length maxes out at 200mm, hand held camera shake or other instabilities can blur potentially great photos. I do understand why IS was built into the newer models. Compared to other telephoto lens, the 70-200mm is very lightweight, but still on the long side, which I don't mind. The body is very well built and has a stunning cream white, black and red ring design, which looks very attractive, even to to onlookers. I do truly love the 70-200mm F/4 lens and while most of my environments that I take photos in do not warrant its use, it feels 'new' when I do I have the opportunity to use take great shots with it. By today's standard, the 70-200mm F/4 is quite affordable as well. Truly a masterpiece and most owners will attest to its quality craftsmanship and continuous dynamic results.

I love the theme for my blog, and it's closest to exactly what I want of anything I've found. However, it drives me nuts that the default for post text is justified alignment, and anytime I edit the text of a post in any way, it goes back to justified, unless I remember to once again left-align it before I save the edit.
To try to work around how difficult justified text is to read, I have tried to indent paragraphs by adding spaces using <p> " & n b s p ;"and putting a </p> at the end of each paragraph, and it works, but only if I leave the text justified and only if I don't make further edits. If I try to left-align the text, it strips away the indents! I have also tried using "< br >" just to separate the paragraphs more, and not only did it strip away those when I tried to left align the text again, now I can't seem to left align the text of my latest post at all and it's permanently justified.
I went into the css (and please realize, I do not know what I am doing), and searched on "justify" -- I found two instances. One appeared to be in the main text and the other appeared to be for cloud text. So I left cloud text alone and changed the main text to "text-align: left". Not only am I still unable to unjustify/left align the text of my posts, but now my whole left sidebar including the tags is unustified!!!
What am I doing wrong? (I am not an idiot, but please explain slowly and completely as if you are speaking to one, I really have the most rudimentary command of these tools.)

Went to KFC in North Vernon. Had stayed away for awhile because of dried up food and filthiness. Same thing this time. Macaroni had hard dry cheese and corn was so cold the butter I put on it wouldn't melt. Got up this morning with the poops and a queasy stomach. I am done with this place.

A Quote by Ken Wilber on theory of everything, t o e, and physics
What would it mean if there were a theory of that explained everything? And just what does "everything" actually mean, anyway? Would this new theory in physics explain, say the meaning of human poetry? Or how economics work? Or the stages of psychosexual development? Can this new physics explain the currents of ecosystems, or the dynamics of history, or why human wars are so terribly common?

Photos: Venkatesh in talks with Salman Khan for a film?
Hyderabad: Telugu actor Venkatesh Daggubati, who was recently seen bonding with Salman Khan here, reportedly wants to work with the Bollywood star in a Hindi film soon. While Venkatesh has been shooting for Telugu remake of Bol Bachchan in the city, where Salman is also busy filming for Mental.
"Salman and Venkatesh have been shooting in and around the same locality. They have been having a great time bonding and since both have known each other for many years, Venkatesh is keen to work with Salman, but is not sure when it is likely to happen," a close source to Venkatesh told IANS. "Nothing has been confirmed yet, but talks are definitely on for a project in the future," the source added.
Venkatesh has previously starred in Hindi films Anari and Taqdeerwala. After his last release Shadow bombed at the box-office, he has pinned all hopes on Bol Bachchan remake, which is tentatively titled Golmaal. K Vijay Bhaskar is directing the romantic-comedy that also stars Anjali, Ram and Shazahn Padamsee. On the other hand, Salman Khan is busy wrapping up Mental, a Hindi remake of Chiranjeevi starrer Telugu action-drama Stalin.
We bring some rare pictures of Salman Khan and Venkatesh and what Venky has to say about Sallu Mia. Continue to see them in the slide show.

I've been a jewelry artist since 1976 and I wish it had been possible to have a program like this when I first started. I can't imagine running a jewelry business without it now. It's become the foundation of everything I need to do in terms of tracking parts, pieces, vendors, customers, retail stores and more. It is by far, the best system for keeping organized. I've been using this software since it first became available and made my way up from the basic program, to Deluxe and now JDM Premier Plus. Not only does it grow with the times and technology, but the support and customer service are unsurpassed. If you are serious about your jewelry – professional or hobbyist – this is a "must have" software program. I highly recommend it.Nancy Troske
I support myself and family by making jewelry. I rely on Jewelry Design Manager for pricing and inventory control. Because of JDM I have been able to organize my inventory to a greater degree than any other time in the 86 years my family has made jewelry. I have used JDM for many years and have been able to start slow and build my existing business around JDM so that the learning curve was flat and ability of an old established business to computerize was slow and easy. I utilize JDM everyday and price all my pieces through it. Barbara Carleton has always, always, been very helpful and timely in helping me with any and all questions. I don't know what I'd do with out JDM and Barbara and cannot recommend it enough.Sam Patania
Your software is absolutely amazing. My entire business is coming together before my eyes and without straining my record keeping skills. The Look Book report is fantastic for outreach. Thank goodness I found your web page and purchased the program. I couldn't be more delighted with my business decision to go with Jewelry Designer Manager Premier Plus. Kudos!!Deborah Jerez
Your company and customer service is number one. I have always been surprised how quickly I get a response if I do have an issue, which is rarely. I will continue with your product as long as I'm making jewelry.Linda Wharton

Fast Ethernet Network Starter Kit (FENSK04)
Manufacturer: Linksys
Price: $109.95 US
Reviewer: John Kacur
I was shopping in one of those computer megastores, looking for a network kit for a project of mine, when I spotted the Fast Ethernet Network Starter Kit from Linksys. What caught my eye was that Linux was mentioned right on the box. As I didn't have the list of Ethernet cards known to work under Linux with me, I decided to take the words on the box at face value and give it a try.
The kit includes two EtherFast 10/100 PCI LAN cards, two 15-foot category 5 UTP cables, an AC power adapter for your hub and a 4-port 100Mbps fast Ethernet hub. The kit also comes with an instruction booklet and drivers for Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0 and NetWare. This is all good, I thought, dreaming of the fun experiments I would have with SAMBA; however, I bought the kit because it promised compatibility with Linux (albeit listed in the "Others" category on the box).
I didn't see Linux mentioned in the instruction booklet, so I took a look at their web site (http://www.linksys.com/). In the FAQ, I found www.linksys.com/support/solution/nos/linux.htm (and freebsd.htm too, for our free UNIX brethren).
The amount of Linux information on their web site has grown since I first looked at it, but this is probably not your best resource. They mention, for example, that if you're installing Red Hat 5.2, you should choose the Tulip driver from the list of drivers on your screen. While this isn't bad advice, it might give the false impression that you need to re-install Linux to get your Ethernet card to work. They also mention the driver has been tested under SuSE, Caldera, Slackware and Debian, when use of the driver is, of course, absolutely distribution independent.
The tulip.c driver is supplied on one of the floppies in the kit, and there is a link to the most up-to-date version. This version is found on the CESDIS (Center of Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences) web site and, like so many Linux Ethernet drivers, is written by Donald Becker. In my opinion, your best resource for the driver is cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html. Also, Greg Siekas deserves a mention for his very clear instructions found at www.bmen.tulane.edu/~siekas/tulip.html. This page also has information on different options for people compiling the tulip driver for different cards.
In order to get instructions on compiling the driver, type:
tail tulip.c
The output is shown in Listing 1. Notice there is a slightly different syntax for SMP (more than one processor). Most people will want to use something like:
gcc -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULES -D__KERNEL__\ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall\ -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c tulip.cNext, append this information to the /etc/conf.modules file:
alias eth0 tulip options tulip options=11 debug=0Setting options to 11 sets the media type to MII autoselect, and setting debug to 0 suppresses the debug messages. Set debug=6 if you want to obtain the very wordy debug messages.
Finally, copy the object file to the latest kernel's modules:
cp tulip.o /lib/modules/2.X.XX
and update the kernel dependencies:
depmod -aIf you are using the driver in a monolithic kernel, then copy tulip.c to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory and recompile the kernel.
The Linksys Starter Kit performed beautifully under Linux and I haven't had any problems using it with some older PCs, but be aware that you can't set the IRQs with a switch. Your best bet is to use a fairly modern PC with an up-to-date BIOS that can automatically configure your card's parameters.
My only complaint with this kit is a minor one—I find the 4-port hub to be a bit limiting. You can uplink the hub with others, but doing so makes port number 1 unavailable for a PC. However, Linksys now has a new Network Starter Kit which includes a 5-port hub (FENSK05).
I imagine Linksys is targeting home users wishing to do some networked gaming and to connect more than one computer to the Internet at a time. Toward this end, Linksys has a special offer which includes a two-user version of Virtual Motion's Internet LanBridge with the kit. I would like to point out to new Linux users that Linux can be used for free to connect many computers, running any operating system, to one dial-up account.
In short, I have no problem recommending the Linksys starter kit to Linux users. You should be prepared to do a little more work than expected by people from the plug-and-play world. It is nice to see a growing number of companies which are starting to support Linux users.
John Kacur (email@example.com) is using the starter kit for his thesis, "Mini-Beowulf", in which he demonstrates the principles of parallel computing on a small four-machine cluster. His project page is at http://www.vaxxine.com/johnk/beowulf/.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I will be filing a complaint with the local BBB about your sale rep calling me and verbally telling me off that I was a liar and other
things that I do not want in print. He was accurate that my friend did not own your building .
I thought you were across the street from the new Wal-Mart center on Rainbow . That was my mistake about what center you are located in. He was correct about that.
My complaint was that he would not give out your costs over the phone to my wife. I found that very unusual. I
called him back and he said that was the owners choice and not his. He then got very nasty when I asked for a reason. Two other Anytime Fitness centers were glad to give out fees over the phone and we thought the price was fair but we would prefer to use your store because it was closer. There are 5 of us that wanted to join. When he started insulating me I said I was going to talk to the owner about your lease and then said good by and hung up. About 5 minutes later he called yelling that the owner of your company explained that the owner of the center said she never heard my name before. He was right that she may
not know me and I had mistaken your location. He then started yelling and being very abusevive to me. That was a bad idea.
Also how would he know my name? I was not calling from. my own home .Real idiot.
I own a company that designs and sells 7 different type of retail centers. We have been thinking about doing the same type
of franchise like yours . We will be gearing them for smaller towns. We currently advertise on about every franchise site that exists. I have been looking for a place too build our 1st site to show customer that fly in to meet us. We will offering fees of $10 dollars a month to show off what we can do for our clients. That is a lot cheaper than your fees. I decided to build the demo site in one of the centers near you. I am doing this to show prospect clients a great busy site. Just to show future business owners. If your rep had not called back to my son's house and start telling me off I would have opened in the new Wal-Mart
center. Enjoy the competition. You should be a little more careful how you talk to a prospect and never be stupid enough to call the client back and start degrading him. I will file a complaint to the BBB. I will also be filing or may have done so by
the time you read this a complaint with federal authority's. Some people have the power, I DO. Threatening me is against Federal Law. How can we settle this, use your imagination.
Good Luck , BUT NO ONE GETS AWAY OF MAKING THREATS AGAINST ME OR MY FAMILY, IF YOU ONLY KNEW WHAT MY POWERS THAT I HAVE TO FIGHT BACK LEGALLY. MONEY IS NO PROBLEM FOR ME-I HOPE YOU HAVE GREAT LAWYERS
