Similar in practice to the Eiffel Tower sexual position wherein a woman is on her hands and knees, satisfying two men (or women)simultaneously via intercourse in the front and the back. The Texas Oil Rig separates itself from the Eiffel Tower position by having the two members able to stand upright pour maple syrup onto the third member who remains on all fours.
The Texas Oil Rig is an Americanized Eiffel Tower.

The Stetson University volleyball team extended its winning streak to five with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-16, 25-18) victory over Southern Friday morning at the Tangi Tourism Lion Classic in Hammond, La. The Hatters (6-4) dropped their second match of the day 3-1 (25-18, 16-25, 25-23, 25-22) to tournament host Southeastern Louisiana.
Stetson's five-game winning streak marked the team's longest since 1988 when the Hatters won seven straight.
"We got off to a slow start and played better as the match went on," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said about the first contest against Southern. "Our defense wasn't real strong. It was a good win for us but we wanted to play better than we did."
In the match against Southeastern Louisiana, the Hatters dropped the first set but led wire-to-wire in set two. The final two frames were both seesaw affairs in which the Lady Lions (3-6) pulled ahead late.
"I was proud of our effort, we played hard and hustled, and fought to the end," Loesch said. "We still almost pulled out games three and four by not playing our best. It is definitely something we need to learn from and take care of our side of the net.
"We didn't attack well as a team," Loesch continued. "Mel (Melville) and Ellen (Hawks) did, but we really need to get everybody clicking so that we don't rely on a couple players to carry us. We also need to pick up our defense. It wasn't our best defensive effort. Against good teams that's going to be the difference."
Offensively the Hatters hit just .120 and suffered from 11 service errors, but also served a season-best 11 aces.
"We were trying to serve them aggressively, and we ended up with the same number of aces as errors, and I am usually fine with that," Loesch said. "The problem was the defense was not very good. We didn't slow down their top players at all."
Kaley Melville picked up her fourth double-double of the season with 11 kills and 10 digs. Tiffany Creamer chipped in eight kills and four blocks, Madison Akins tallied seven kills and five blocks, while Ellen Hawks added seven kills, four blocks, and a .353 attack percentage.
Michelle Kastner picked up 14 digs, Kayla Weller had four aces to go along with 28 assists, and Erika White registered a solo block and three block assists.
Due to technical issues, statistics for the Southern match are not currently available.
The Lion Classic will continue Saturday as the Hatters face Nebraska-Omaha at 10 a.m. and Louisiana Tech at 2 p.m.

For the past two years, a modest home near Westview Middle School has clicked, beeped, whirred and sloshed with noises five times a night, every night, and several times a day, every day.
Weve gotten used to it, Amanda Wilson shrugged. She lives with her husband Ryan and two children, ages 7 and 10. The family expects a third child in August.
The machine inside the house makes the noises theyve learned to live with its the machine keeping 30-year-old Ryan Wilson alive.
The Wilsons have had a lot to get used to in the last few years since moving to Goose Creek, a move spurred by Ryans severe medical condition. He has Bergers disease, also known as immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Simply put, Ryan has end-stage renal disease.
There is no known cause of IgA nephropathy. Its suspected to be genetic, but no one in Ryans family has it.
The diagnosis came in April 2012 when the young family was living in Columbia. Ryan worked as a welder and, one day, he experienced heart palpitations on the job.
My heart felt like it was going to bust out of my chest, Ryan recalled.
As a precaution, he went to the doctor. There, medical staff uncovered some unexpected abnormalities in the otherwise healthy young man.
His blood pressure was 204/170 (normal range is usually less than 120/80). There was blood in his urine. And his waste levels were high.
I still didnt understand what was going on, Ryan said.
Even medical staff seemed befuddled by the numbers. Amanda recalled a nurse telling them: Something must be wrong because you have the kidneys of an 80-year-old.
By June 2012, Ryan was placed on dialysis with stage four kidney failure. Since that time, he has visited the emergency room several times due to complications.
Ryan grew up in Goose Creek, and they moved to the city to be closer to MUSC. Ryan has been on the waiting list for a kidney for the last six months.
The average wait time at MUSC is two years. The national average is five years.
While the family waits, the noise of the dialysis machine in the house isnt the only thing the Wilsons have adjusted to. Theyve also had to radically change Ryans diet to eliminate potassium and phosphorus things that are regularly added to fast food items
At first, it was really overwhelming, Ryan said. But the family figured out how to keep him healthy.
Ryan cant work due to constant dialysis, and Amanda works part time. But the couple hasnt let the diagnosis and treatment bring them down.
Ryan has a really good attitude, Amanda said. For the most part, he just looks at the positive side.
I find my strength in my faith in God. I have a lot of hope in God. I believe Hes going to answer my prayers, Ryan said.
Both said the journey, though hard, has shown divine providence.
Every step of the way, things have fallen into place in the right way, Amanda said.
For example, if his kidney condition was discovered a year prior, Ryan would not have qualified for disability. And now they dont have to pay too much out of pocket on their limited income.
It would also appear that his kidney disease, though discovered late, was not discovered too late.
There were no symptoms, Amanda said.
Ryan added that he did experience some headaches and loss of appetite in the months leading up to his diagnosis, but nothing that gave him too much cause for alarm.
Amanda said a routine health exam likely could have caught the disease earlier on and made it more treatable.
I would encourage young people to get routine health exams. Seventy-five percent of people with this condition would never need dialysis (or a kidney transplant), she said. You have to be looking for it.
For now, its a waiting game. No one is a candidate in Ryans family.
Kidneys from a live donor are preferred, because they last longer.
If you cant be a living donor, be a deceased donor, Amanda said.
A few months after receiving a kidney, Ryan will be taken off of disability and can return to work. But despite Ryans readiness to return to the workforce, the family feels apprehensive about the move because the anti-rejection drugs are expensive. After the surgery, Ryan will also still have many doctors appointments and co-pays to finance.
To help with expenses after surgery, a fundraising campaign has been established through HelpHOPELive.org, a nonprofit that assists those post-transplant, in honor of Ryan.

North Charleston, S.C. / August 5, 2013 – Trident Health is proud to announce that according to a new Consumer Reports rating, they have been ranked as the top Charleston hospital in surgery safety, for five common surgery types. The objective ratings analyzed complications, length of hospital stays and mortality rates to determine their ratings. The August edition of Consumer Reports rated 2,463 hospitals for common surgical procedures using three years of Medicare billing records.
For the first time, Consumer Reports rated U.S. hospitals on how patients fare during and after surgery. The ratings include an overall surgery rating, which combines results for 27 categories of scheduled surgeries, as well as individual ratings for five specific procedure types: back surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement, angioplasty, and carotid artery surgery.
"We are extremely pleased to add another national recognition that highlights the level of patient care that our surgeons, anesthesiologists and entire surgical services team provide. Patients deserve to be informed on which hospitals offer the highest level of quality care and patient safety," said Todd Gallati, Trident Health President.
Trident Health, which includes Trident, Summerville and Moncks Corner Medical Centers, recently also received Blue Distinction for Knee and Hip replacement surgeries from Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals – Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center – as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center. The Joint Commission recently named Trident Health to their list of the nation's top hospitals for quality and safety. In 2012, Trident Health provided almost $40 million in charity and uncompensated care and contributed $27 million in taxes. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Trident Health is committed to providing quality health services along with wellness information and opportunities to the communities it serves.

Two years ago John Christopher Wright participated in a Google drawing contest. Doodle 4 Google involved asking students across the nation to draw Googles iconic logo with a special theme.
That year Wrights image had a jazz theme and he was the state winner.
Now he has done it again.
Wrights newest Google drawing could potentially go on the Google homepage for hundreds of millions of people to see. On April 29 Google representatives from New York travelled to Rollings Middle School, where Wright is a sixth grader, to make a special presentation about the winner of this years Doodle 4 Google for South Carolina.
The news came as a big surprise to Wright, who was sitting among his fellow classmates in the school auditorium when he was announced the winner and asked to come to the stage. A high-resolution rendering of his drawing was unveiled for the student body to see.
This is the contests seventh year running, and this years Doodle 4 Google asked students between kindergarten and 12th grade to redesign the companys logo inspired by the theme If I could invent one thing to make a world a better place
Wrights doodle, entitled The J Nation Recycling Machine, depicted an invention that not only recycles, but turns trash into flowers. The drawing was selected from over 100,000 participants.
Wright said he was excited to be named the winner and hopes his drawing inspires others to make the world a better place by cleaning up trash. He added that he likes to draw as a way to express himself, and hopes to one day become either a shoe designer or an architect.
Wrights mom Leonis Wright said her son has been drawing since he was 3.
Drawing is his passion, she said. Its wonderful he can showcase his work this way.
His dad John Wright, Sr. said its amazing that his son has won this national contest twice.
He gets better and better every year, he said.
To help Wright succeed on the national level, people can vote for his doodle online. Voting will be open until May 9 at www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html and the public vote will determine the five national finalists (one in each grade group).
Google will announce these five national finalists and one of them as the winner on May 21 at an awards ceremony at its headquarters in Mountain View, Cali.
The winning student will work with Googles team of professional doodlers to animate their doodle. The animated doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage on June 9. The winner will also take home a $30,000 college scholarship and his/her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education grant towards the establishment and improvement of a computer lab or technology program.
Despite his nerves about going to California, Wright said it feels good to win.
Thank you for inspiring me to draw, and please vote, he said.

We've long heard of the benefits of 4H, but all too often associate it with learning to raise farm animals.
But today's 4-H programs are a community of young people learning leadership, citizenship and life skills through varies project areas.
And for the first time in years, there is a 4-H chapter based out of Mount Pleasant with several clubs to meet different community needs.
Liza Campbell, the Charleston Change 4-H Parent volunteer, said that many community hands come together to make a difference locally and in our world particularly with their chapter's local efforts.
Campbell got involved three years ago because her high school student was looking for community service opportunities.
Finding 4-H, she learned that they have a template for any kind of service project imaginable and it is the biggest community service organization in the country - even more so that Scouts.
This looked to be a perfect opportunity of all four of her children. The only minor setback was that there were no programs east of the Cooper.
Taking the bull by the horns, she formed a chapter and set it up to cater to home-schooled students like her own
They named it Charleston Change 4-H Club.
Through that effort, the club has grown and now reaches out to West Ashley, Summerville and the Miriam Brown Community Center.
It has been relaunched this year to include all students, home-schooled or not, between the ages of nine and 19.
This after school program meets at Palmetto Park in the Park Center once a month after school. Interested students can join online at www.cc4h.net for $15 as a new member and $12 as a returning member.
There are no badges that must be earned and no uniforms. Each service project includes the entire families participation as well.
For example, 4-H members and their families hit the street in search of donations to give the Mariam Brown Community Center a face-lift.
Sherwin Williams on Highway 41 donated the paint, and volunteers and club members went to work.
Campbell said that 4-H is not just about farm animals.
"There are over 50 curriculum avenues and subjects of interest from STEM to healthy lifestyles."
Most 4-H members do not live on farms and they participate in contemporary projects such as bicycle care and safety, consumer education, aerospace and model rocketry, go-carting and animal sciences.
The chapter also, have a new Charleston County Clemson Extension Agent as well as many community service activities going on.
Another project the club is working on is collecting school supplies for a school in Rwanda. Campbell met Sarah Hipp, a 4-H er from North Carolina who started a school in Rwanda. She mentioned the school's needed supply list, and the Charleston Change group went right to work collecting donations from boxes set out at each Kid's Teeth location.
East Cooper Sporting Goods has donated soccer balls to the effort, and toys have been donated with the help of Pier 1 employees. Chick-Fil-A donated mini cows. Artist and Craftsman donated art supplies. Peace Frogs and Charleston Cotton Exchange donated shirts. Also, Clemson Extension Offices, as well.
"This program really does teach the kids to 'drive.' They come in timid and quiet and I've watched them blossom using the learning template," said Campbell. "The kids are learning that one person can make a difference."
And through it all, she explained, they develop social skills, public speaking skills, build portfolios and adapt healthy lifestyles.
4-H includes state and national events that include competitions from the club level on up. Winners receive recognition and scholarship money and "it's good for teenagers because it ramps them up for the real world experience," said Campbell.
Additional activities, training and summer camps cost minimal amounts, and scholarships are available.
Each project is all about coming full circle, Campbell explained. Participants learn by doing from the idea to the end result. And once you join a 4-H Club, you can participate in any other club.
The chapter is lead by Liza Campbell - Adult Leader, Health Rocks Regional Adult Trainer; Savannah Campbell - Assistant Leader, Health Rocks State Teen Leader; and Skyla Campbell - Teen Leader, Health Rocks Regional Teen Leader. Jennifer Schlette was recently named the Clemson Extension agent for the county. There are over 25 participants in the two East Cooper groups. Anyone interested in creating their own club can contact Campbell for assistance. For more information visit cc4h.net.
What is 4-H
4-H is the youth development program of the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service. As an informal, practical educational program for youth, 4-H is where there's fun in learning and learning in fun. (*4-H programs in the state are also offered via South Carolina State University.)
The South Carolina 4-H Youth Development Program uses a learn-by-doing approach.
The 4-H emblem is a green four-leaf clover with a white 'H' on each leaflet, symbolizing Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The 4-H emblem was patented in 1924.

Kevin Drum VENTS HIS FRUSTRATION:
Is there something about budget showdowns that gradually but relentlessly lowers the collective IQ of Beltway pundits? Examples abound. For example, we've recently seen a whole spate of folks pretending that all our problems could be solved if only President Obama somehow just unleashed his presidential superpowers and made Congress pass a reasonable long-term deficit plan. Jessica Yellin gave us the nutshell version of this last week when she asked Obama, "Couldn't you just have them down here and refuse to let them leave the room until you have a deal?"

Sherry Dixon was 50 when she first learned about her mother's terrifying past.
One day they were talking and Dixon's mother, Catalina Bernidita Borja-Aquiningoc Wilson, 79, a Goose Creek resident, told her about war-scarred memories of her childhood.
She was a prisoner of war between the ages of eight and 11, and was put in a Japanese concentration camp on Guam during World War II.
Dixon was so compelled by her mother's stories she kept asking for more and jotted notes. Her mother said she should write a book. Dixon took this to heart and last July published a fictional account, "Natural Destiny."
Wilson's nickname in Guam was "Bernie," as she is called in the book, and her U.S. nickname was "Cathy."
Dixon said her mother would tell her a partial story, such as witnessing an execution, but stopped there. In her book Dixon fills in the details.
She said the book took 30 days to write. Once Dixon put down the first chapter the rest flowed out as if it was waiting to be written. She then went through 33 rewrites with her editor.
"I learned a lot about the history of Guam and a lot about my mom," Dixon said. "My mom is loving and kind and generous. She was accused of being Japanese when she arrived in the U.S. People were prejudiced toward her. She looks very Asian."
Her mother left Guam six years after the war.
"She had strong role models," she said. "The book has a lot of life lessons, a lot of faith messages."
Dixon is still unsure why her mother never shared her experiences.
"She was a good Catholic girl," Dixon said. "It's amazing to me she was able to keep it hidden."
Dixon said her father didn't even know the stories until he read the book. He was in the U.S. Air Force. They married and moved to the United States.
Dixon said her mother always had a job until she retired. She said another reason she may have kept the memories secret is because they are "horrific."
Her mother cut her hair short like a boy at age eight because it was in the way when she "ran with the boys."
When the Japanese military invaded Guam on Dec. 8, 1941, she survived but the rest of her family did not. Her captors thought she was a boy and to make things easier her caretakers kept her hair short.
This meant she had to work in a rice field, which could be seen as a blessing. Other girls were put in the "comfort house," where girls could be heard being whipped and crying.
"My mother didn't know what was gong on but she knew it was bad," Dixon said. "She saw her first execution at age nine."
In the book her character is forced to watch an execution but learns to "look and not see" as a coping mechanism.
"It became a long time before my mother could trust anyone."
Dixon said the Japanese began executing people when they realized they would lose the island – the executions assured that there would be no witnesses to the horrific actions.
"It's a good story for adults, children and humans," she said. "Out of adversity you can see the good . . . people see that a child can overcome this kind of thing."
Dixon said the Berkeley County School District has approved the book.
She said she only self-published it because her mother's dementia was becoming worse and she wanted her to read it as soon as possible instead of waiting 24 months for a traditional publishing company.
In the meantime the Guam governor read the book, which sheds light on a relatively unknown facet of history.
The book eventually got passed to the White House. Dixon received a thank you letter from President Barack Obama on May 2.
"No story of this kind has been written about it," Dixon said.
Dixon, who works at Boeing and lives on James Island, has done all the marketing for the book by word of mouth. She has spoken at schools and civic organizations such as the Summerville Rotary Club.
Dixon has completed the fourth chapter of a sequel, "Choices," about her mom's arrival in the U.S., which she expects to complete by year's end.
Dixon is looking forward to the upcoming month because on July 21, 1944 Guam was liberated by the United States and Guamanian people everywhere celebrate.
"Guam was a fueling point for the U.S.," she said. "That's why the Japanese wanted it. Americans arrived in the nick of time. They care so much about Guamanians, who are so grateful for liberating them.
"It's a piece of history that can't be forgotten."

The 100% Campaign is a collaborative effort of The Children's Partnership, Children Now, and Children's Defense Fund-California. Since 1998, these three leading children's advocacy organizations have worked together to ensure that all of California's children gain access to affordable, comprehensive health coverage. Not only does health coverage improve children's well-being and help them reach their potential in school, investment in comprehensive health coverage for children is cost-effective because it promote access to less expensive preventative care and treatment.The 100% Campaign uses every viable strategy - including key partnerships with the broadest possible range of community and statewide leaders and policy makers; research and analysis; and public education and outreach - to ensure that all of California's children receive the health insurance they need to grow up healthy and strong.
The Children's Partnership (TCP) is a national, nonprofit child advocacy organization working to ensure that all children - especially those at risk of being left behind - have the resources and the opportunities they need to grow up healthy and to lead productive lives. TCP focuses particular attention on securing health coverage for uninsured children and ensuring that the opportunities of digital technology benefit all children and families. TCP combines national research with community-based activities, and then develops policy and advocacy agendas to expand these demonstrated solutions to underserved communities around the country.
Children Now is a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization working to raise children's well-being to the top of the national policy agenda. The organization focuses on ensuring quality health care, a solid education and a positive media environment for all children. Children Now's strategic approach creates awareness of children's needs, develops effective policy solutions and engages those who can make change happen.
The Children's Defense Fund-California (CDF-CA) is the California office of the Children's Defense Fund, a non-profit child advocacy organization that has worked relentlessly for nearly 40 years to ensure a level playing field for all children. CDF-CA champions policies and programs that lift children out of poverty; protect them from abuse and neglect; and ensure their access to health care and quality education. Since 1998, CDF-CA has had a special focus on children's health, working to ensure that every California child has comprehensive affordable health coverage.

KLM's action plan
On this page:
Reducing CO2
Fleet renewal - KLM has upgraded to the newest Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft for intercontinental routes, which are up to 25% more fuel efficient than their predecessors. In addition, Cityhopper flights are switching to 10% more fuel-efficient Embraer jets.
Wing improvements - All of KLM's Next Generation 737 aircraft are being fitted with vertical wingtips. These 'Winglets' improve aerodynamics, which saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions by about 3%.
Smart aircraft deployment – better use of aircraft saves fuel. For example, during the summer peak we employ a large Boeing 737 to fly passengers to Venice. In winter, when less people fly, we switch to the smaller Fokker 100.
Better engine cleaning - A clean engine burns less fuel and emits less CO2. Engine washes are now part of our regular maintenance routine.
Aircraft of the future - KLM is aiding research by the Delft University of Technology to develop a new aircraft that is 50% more efficient and 50% quieter. It could be ready to fly by 2025.
Controlling CO2
The Emissions Trading System - KLM supports the formation of a European Emissions Trading System, in which emission rights can be bought and sold, also for the airline industry. The underlying principle - that the polluter pays - would act as a real incentive for the industry to limit emissions.
Single European Sky – KLM desires a single pan-European air traffic control authority, so flight paths can be plotted more efficiently. Flying from A to B more directly, without detours, could reduce emissions by as much as 12%.
Compensating CO2
CO2 neutral growth – KLM is working with the World Wide Fund for Nature in the Netherlands to lead by example and show how things can be done differently in the airline industry. This has resulted in the company's promise to deliver CO2 neutral growth, which we will do by means of our reduction and compensation programmes. No other major airline has made such a step.
Carbon Compensation – Until the time arrives when CO2 emissions are avoidable, we will reduce the impact our service has on the climate by the best alternative – compensating CO2 emissions.
Gold Standard Projects – The World Wide Fund for Nature favors Gold Standard projects for compensating emissions by investing in renewable energy projects, mainly in developing countries. On their advice, KLM accepts only the Gold Standard benchmark.
CO2 ZERO – Our compensation service for passengers is easy to use and the most effective within the airline industry in terms of CO2 reduction. That also makes it the easiest, most effective and least expensive option for you to fly CO2 neutral.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Stetson baseball team allowed four unearned runs in the eighth inning, giving up a late lead against No. 5 Florida State, and falling by a score of 5-3 in the first of a two-game series in at Dick Howser Stadium on Tuesday.
In his first career start, freshman Kevin Fagan gave the Hatters (10-10) a perfect chance to upset the Seminoles (19-1). The right-hander allowed one run on two hits and a walk in the second inning, but was virtually untouchable throughout the rest of his outing to keep Stetson in the game.
"For seven innings we showed we can be a pretty good team, and obviously Kevin Fagan did a lot more than we were going to ask of him," Stetson head coach Pete Dunn said after the game. "We were going to put him out there, and try to get four or five innings out of him, and he gave us seven strong innings. We're proud of that."
Fagan gave up just one earned run on three hits, while striking out a career best six batters in seven innings pitched. Although the Hatter bats were out-swinging the highly ranked Noles the entire game, it was not until the top of the seventh that Stetson was able to take advantage of it.
Junior Robert Bruce, who has been on an offensive tear as of late, started the Hatter rally with his second single of the game. Sophomore Tyler Bocock then doubled down the left field line, and an error on FSU outfielder D.J. Stewart allowed Bruce to score and tie the game at 1-1.
After a pitching change for Florida State, the Hatter rally continued as Fagan helped his own cause with an RBI single through the right side of the infield. The freshman then came all the way around to score when senior Mitchel Brennan reached first and advanced to second on a throwing error by FSU third baseman Jose Brizuela, giving Stetson a 3-1 lead.
Still holding onto the two-run advantage, the Hatters ran into trouble in the bottom of the eighth. Fagan allowed a single to open the frame, was subsequently relieved, and then rightfully applauded by the Florida State faithful.
The first batter junior Cameron Griffin faced hit a fly to centerfield, but it was dropped by senior James Rasmussen. Back-to-back singles drove in the first FSU run of the inning and loaded up the bases for the Noles. Griffin then got Stewart to hit into a double play, but another run came in to score from third, tying the game at 3-3.
Like many other times this season, it continued to be defensive misplays that cost the Hatters in this one. With senior Joe Dye now on the mound, another dropped fly - this time in right field by Brennan - allowed the fourth FSU run to cross the plate. The Noles scored their final run of the game on a wild pitch by freshman Tyler Warmoth.
"We outhit them, and outplayed them, but once again, as good as Florida State is, they didn't beat us today, we beat ourselves again," Dunn said. "With a team as good as Florida State, you have to complete the deal. We gave them the opportunity, good teams take advantage of it, and that's what they did."
Stetson went down in order in the ninth, giving Florida State the 5-3 victory in game one on Tuesday. Jameis Winston picked up the win after allowing no runs and no hits in two innings of relief. Griffin was credited with the loss after allowing three unearned runs in two thirds of an inning.
The Hatters outhit FSU eight to five in the game, with Bocock and Bruce leading the way with two each, but it was the four Stetson errors that hurt the squad on Tuesday.
Stetson and Florida State will go back at it on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. at Dick Howser Stadium, before the Hatters return home to host Mercer in the team's first Atlantic Sun Conference series of the season this weekend.

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USMBy Kevin Carter - Wednesday February 13 2013 Lens Review
One of the single most versatile lenses for wildlife Canon's EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM scores reasonably well on a full-frame camera with a DxOMark score of 15.4, however on APS-C EOS 7D that also drops to 11. Like other zooms, vignetting and edge sharpness are limitations (though less so with crop cameras) however the resolution is acceptable centrally through out the focal range, albeit tailing off at the desired 300mm setting. A whopping $2,600 price tag may put off all but the well heeled.
Further readings for the Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality.

MARIETTA, Ga. – The Stetson men's tennis team (12-1, 3-0) picked up its third sweep of the season, defeating Kennesaw State (3-10, 0-2) by a score of 7-0 on Friday afternoon in Marietta, Ga.
"The men's team played very well today in challenging weather conditions," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said.
Stetson began the match by taking the doubles point and a 1-0 lead. Freshman Laurynas Antropikas and sophomore Hans Adrian Riseng defeated Tobi Menhofer and Louis Theodor by a score of 8-4. Senior Didrik Berg and freshman Simon Julin were defeated by Gianni Kubin and Maksim Yorsh by a score of 8-6, evening the doubles matches at 1-1.
Sophomore Nathan Debut and freshman Cahit Kapukiran clinched the point for Stetson when they defeated Gokalp Ozdemir and Alexander Pena by a score of 9-7 at the number three doubles position.
In singles, Stetson won all six matches to complete the sweep. Julin extended his unbeaten singles streak, defeating Kubin by a score of 6-0, 6-0 and Kapukiran defeated Theodor by a score of 6-0, 6-1. At number five singles, freshman Egor Panyushkin defeated Pena by a score of 6-2, 6-1, clinching the match for the Hatters.
Sophomore Chester Espie defeated Ozdemir by a score of 6-3, 6-3 and Antropikas defeated Yorsh 6-4, 6-2. Berg returned to the singles lineup after being sidelined with an injury, and defeated Menhofer 6-1, 7-5 at the number one singles position.
"I believe the team got a lot of energy and confidence from Didrik finally returning to our singles line-up," Pilote said.
Stetson returns to action tomorrow afternoon, when the Hatters take on Mercer. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m.

When I was planning for BlogHer, I was excited about taking Ivy and showing her off. BlogHer is known to be very baby-friendly and at Blogher 2008 in San Francisco I remembered Julie and Catherine wore their babies at sessions and parties and I imagined something similar for us.
And for the most part, it was a great experience having my baby with me. I wouldn't have been able to attend otherwise. I wore her in the sling almost the entire time. Occasionally letting her crawl on the floor where she might have eaten crumbs from Social Luxe hors d' oeuvres and when I thought it might be getting too crowded, I picked her up. When I needed to nurse her, I found a couch in a corner and fed her. And when I had said my quick hellos, watched my friend win an award, I left without incident (and without swag.)
As for the actual conference, I did find it limiting to take a baby. Every single session I tried to attend was too full- I couldn't even stand in the back or the door way. If I hadn't had her with me, I might have tried to squeeze in somehow. I then decided to wait in line for 45 minutes to hear the last session I wanted to attend, and got a seat in the very back. Ivy napped and then nursed and when she wanted to get down and move around, I left immediately so that we wouldn't be a distraction (even though Jenny had told me beforehand she wanted her to make all the noise she could because it would be awesome. And then she said she was going to kidnap her. So I got the heck out of there.)
If there hadn't been a line to even listen in the doorway I would have tried to stick around once she quieted, but I couldn't get back in.
Yes, there is childcare. But I can't even leave my baby in the church nursery. That is not BlogHer's fault. That's mine. Also when I found that I had no cell phone reception in many areas of the conference, I was wondering if I had done childcare, how would they get a hold of me?
Even hanging out with friends was frustrating because I wanted to do things while she napped on me so that I could get the most out of whatever it was we were going to do but then there is a lot of waiting at BlogHer. Wating on people, in your hotel room, for the elevator. And it started to wear on me that I would waste a good nap just waiting.
The part where I started to feel like I was seeing things in a whole new light was after the parties.
I was a guest of Katja's at the Hanes party held at Rebar in the Trump Tower. It was a bar. When I first received the invite I immediately let her know I'd have the baby. They didn't bat an eye at my bringing Ivy with me. The driver installed her carseat. The bar staff were incredible and brought her crackers to crush into their carpet. I sat with her on my lap in the back, on a couch. The Hanes people were gracious and entertained by Ivy's tricks. And then she slept in the sling the rest of the time.
In my head and heart, I want you and anyone there to know that I was thinking "blogger event" the entire time. I wasn't thinking "bar". I honestly probably wasn't thinking. Even though it was BlogHer weekend I was tired, and I was still Mom. I was me.
Looking back I am now realizing that maybe I should have thought it through a bit more and considered that while it was a wonderful gesture that they invited us both to come along, I didn't have to accept. Maybe they were outwardly smiling and sweet but on the inside thinking how annoying or inappropriate it was that I had brought a baby to a bar. Maybe they were scared off by what could happen if you upset a nursing Mom blogger.
That is not who I am.
Yes, I do nurse my baby in public but I don't wave my rights around like a gun. I know the right time and place. At least I thought I knew.
At BowlHer on Saturday night we had an absolute blast. In the music room there were mini concerts and plenty of room to chill and let the babies crawl around. Ivy was dancing and clapping and at one moment I turned and said this was the best moment yet. Only I didn't say it. I had to shout it. And I looked at Kim and asked if I was an idiot. If we had to shout to hear each other, what were we doing to the babies' ears?
The set ended and we took the babies out before the next musician came on. I felt like everyone was watching me and, although I am honest and make plenty of mistakes here on the blog, it seemed like in real life? I wasn't allowed to make any mistakes. Because shame on me if I just had a learning experience like any other Mother.
I started to question myself. On my way back to our hotel room I stopped in the Cheeseburgher party because I wanted to say hi to Isabel and Lindsay. I'm so glad I did because I also got to see Rick from Tiny Prints again and seriously if you were there this weekend you will agree with me at least somewhat that he was the happiest and most cheerful person there. He was taking photos and having a great time and I wished I could see the conference through his eyes. (And yeah, he was also my sponsor but that is a blessing that I basically just fell into.)
Anyway, as expected, their suite was packed. I made my way through with Casey & Emily and got my bag hat, burger, Dr. Pepper, with Ivy in the sling. I was able to say my thanks to the girls for the party, they were glad we made it, and then Ivy and I wriggled our way out to the hallway and back to our room.
By then, the weight of the weekend came crashing down. I was embarrassed if anyone thought I was being inconsiderate for bringing Ivy with me to a bar and concert. I didn't want to be thought of as some selfish nursing babywearing Mom that keeps her baby with her all the time no matter who it might inconvenience. All this time I had thought she was welcome. And I began to wonder about all the other times I might have given the same wrong impression. No event, no amount of friendship or networking is worth risking my reputation (and sanity), someone else's reputation, or my child's safety.
Next year I'll hopefully still be nursing her and so it doesn't look like I'll be going. It's just not the right season in my life to be doing these things. And if I hadn't already committed to another blogging event coming up next month, I wouldn't be taking her to that either, even though she was clearly on the invite with me. I'm looking at everything a bit differently now.
It's my choice to keep her with me at all times even if that means we have to stay at home. And I won't be moping around about it either.

quote: people with worse guns
quote: Granted they're fighting a losing war,
quote: I'd like to point out that people with worse guns who are worse shots have tied us up for years and cost billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
quote: Granted they're fighting a losing war, but they did play a major part in bleeding Russia dry in the 80's and the last decade will probably go down as one of the major causes of the failure of the US if we dont' get our act together.
quote: When you have a "leader" who does not have the word "victory" in his vernacular and follows a 1970's failed foreign policy, what do you expect?
quote: The only reason we are doing very poorly right now is the incredible omission of will by our leader and not fighting a fast, to the point war with pre-defined and well-defined goals.
quote: This ideology stems from the misguided, progressive belief that a large combat force has no place in this day of civilized people.
quote: There is no silver in war, let alone trophies for everyone. Go BIG or stay at home. War is ugly, vile, and an unfortunate reality that if not tackled in a hard and, sadly, brutal manner, don't bother.
quote: It was the 1970s cold war approach to conflict that has lead to the current mess. You cant defeat an insurgency with bigger tanks, more bombs, and faster planes.
quote: In a way, youre right. The objectives of both wars seemed to be 'stop terr'rists'. Invading a sovereign nation, on a pretext of dodgy intelligence, that turned out to have nothing to do with 9/11 in defiance of the UNSC probably isnt the best way to go about it.
quote: Clearly a large combat force isnt the answer - or else some measure of success would have been achieved by now?
quote: Keep that up in the Middle East and the problems will continue - new generations of freedom fighters will take up arms against the invaders. This, in turn, will only flare up anti-Western sentiment. This is exactly the wrong approach to take.
quote: Sorry to break it to the gun rights people who think their hunting rifles and smei-auto pseudo-assault rifles would stop a proper military but...no, they wouldn't. It might have worked through most of the 19th century but once mechanized warfare became the standard civilian guns don't mean much

Pumpkin Goat Cheese Fettuccine Alfredo with Crispy Fried Sage
My next new pumpkin recipe of the season is a super quick, easy and tasty creamy pumpkin alfredo pasta! The pumpkin sauce for this pasta is loosely based on an alfredo sauce which is typically made with butter and melted cheese, usually parmesan, and it also commonly contains cream. This sauce starts out with the butter and a touch of garlic and then moves on to the cream and parmesan along with some pumpkin puree. Instead of using the parmesan as the primary cheese flavour I cut back on it and went with a tangy goat cheese which pairs particularly well with the sweet pumpkin puree. The sauce is finished off with some sage and a hint of pumpkin pie spice to tingle the senses and the pasta topped with some irresistible crispy fried sage.
This pumpkin goat cheese alfredo does not require a lot of pumpkin puree so it is perfect if you had a bit left over and since it comes together in less time than it takes to cook the pasta it is a great weeknight meal but it is also special enough to impress guests!
Pumpkin Goat Cheese Fettuccine Alfredo with Crispy Fried Sage
A quick and easy creamy goat cheese pumpkin alfredo with crispy fried sage.
- 6 ounces pasta (gluten free for gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
- 1 tablespoon sage, sliced thinly
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 handful sage leaves
- Cook the pasta as directed on the package.
- Melt the butter in pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the cream, pumpkin puree, goat cheese, parmesan, sage and pumpkin pie spice and simmer until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, let it turn a light brown, add the sage and fry until crispy.
- Serve hot over the pasta garnished with more parmesan and crispy fried sage.
Note: If you use milk rather than cream, do not bring it to a boil as it will curdle into little white bits rather than blending in.
Option: Replace the goat cheese with a mild blue cheese like gorgonzola dolce.
Option: Add Sauteed mushrooms.
