6. University of Massachusetts (UMass) Medical School
Category: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Contact: Michael DeBlasi
UMass Medical School has a BYOD policy for their School of Medicine and Graduate School of Nursing programs. We do not have computer labs large enough to hold the students for high stakes testing so we did a pilot program with Chromebooks to enable a 'popup' lab for testing. This approach reduces the amount of setup time and IT resources significantly, reduces student anxiety of the responsibility to have their personal device be compatible with test software, and has the promise to be an option as a secure low cost student device to access all their curriculum materials for coursework. We briefly review the hurdles to get a new device into the system and the longer term benefits as a supplement to the BYOD environment.
7. CSU Channel Islands
Category: Robotics (Humanizing the Remote Work Experience with Mobile Apps and Robotics)
Contact: Michelle Pacansky-Brock
The Teaching and Learning Innovations team at California State University, Channel Islands uses an evolving collection of mobile apps and a telepresence robot to bridge the 400-mile distance between campus and one remote team member.

Also, you seem to have lines going in all different directions, the sig will be more effective if they all branched out from the center or something, instead of being just quite random.

Posted 10 January 2009 - 06:24 PM
And yeah, MP, he's not literally copying me, he's just trying out my style, see whether it will work for him or not. I must say though, it looks great, but remove the excess grunge towards the end of the image, then it will look really great.
Nice work Alvas.
TM™ - Elite.
Posted 10 January 2009 - 07:12 PM
Anyway, I do like the sigs but it's the Grunge really. I myself don't really use Grunge anymore but yeah it went out of "fashion" almost a year ago, that's why last year loads of people had the effect and now I only see one or two people using it. The effect is good but I would advise not using grunge until it comes back.
As for some of your other sigs, I'd say they are quite good, could do with some small improvements though, such as your text being hardly clear in some of your sigs. Another one is the use of bevel, I was criticized for using it when I made graphics - and I realise why now - so I would suggest leaving the text with maybe just a border and not quite as bright if you're using white, use grey instead.
Past member of the Fiore Family Mafia ;_;
Posted 10 January 2009 - 07:24 PM
But yeah, I believe on the concept of his work, it still suits, and using it might get more people back to it, but after all, it depends on what he's using it for. Hopefully he'll (Alvas) make some more work on the grunge, cause some people do tend to go over the head with the grunge (Like myself back when I was using PS ).
So yeah, keep it up I'd say, just cause it's out of fashion doesn't mean you stop completely using it. Keep using it, somehow, I believe it will become a very, very special effect to you.

Discussion in 'Handloading and Reloading' started by viking499, Dec 22, 2012.
How many of you use Varget, and what caliber(s) do you use it for?
I run it in .17 Rem, .223 Rem, 220 Swift, 6 mm Rem, and .25-06. It's pretty versatile stuff.
It will work in any of my rifles with any bullet but it doesn't work well in any of them.
I only have one rifle - an AR15A1 (5.56 chamber)
Varget & RL-15 are the only powders it's ever seen.
.223 and .308 gas guns. Pretty hard to beat.
Varget is good, but not the best in my .223, 25.06 & .270. I haven't tinkered with it in 30.06 because my only 30.06 is a Garand and she's partial to 4895.
I have used Varget in .223, .243, .308 and 45 70. Its pretty versatile.
You can add the .375 H&H Mag to the list too.
This thread reminds me of the time I bought 4lb of VV 120 and 2lb of VV 130 because it was cheap and available. I had no idea as to what I would use it for but at $19 per pound I figured I should buy it.
.223 with 52G Sierra's in a Rem 700.......deadly accurate.
223REM,308WIN,8mm Mauser
Anybody try it in 30 -30?
.223, 45-70, and yes, 30-30.
I bought a pound of Varget when it first came out. I have found that it doesn't work better in any of the calibers that I reload than the powders I had already used to develop good accurate loads.
Adequate but not better.
.223 gas gun and .308 bolt gun. Varget is great stuff ....
.223 (AR and Savage 12FTR), .243, .308, 30-06.
It works well enough in everything I shoot to use it exclusively. My Savage 12FTR and Rem 700 Tactical .308 both shoot cloverleafs with it and the others shoot as well as I can with iron sights. Light 30-06 loads shoot very well in my Garand as well.
My buddy uses it in his .270 with great results. I've been working up a load with my 7mm-08 using 139 gr Nosler BTs. So far it looks like a toss up betwen H-380 and Varget. I'm thinking about going with the Varget simply beause of the advertisement and testimonials on it's stability in temp swings.
I use it for 223, 22-250, 243, 308 and 7.5x55 Swiss. I have about 20 lbs so looking for additional uses. Have not tried it in 270, 30-30 or 30-06 but may have to give it a try.
I use Varget for .308 Win. with very good results for a 1:12 22" bolt action
I use it in .260 Rem and 8x57 Mauser so far. Haven't seen a reason to try anything else yet.
Separate names with a comma.

Season premiere review: 'Cougar Town' - 'All or Nothin': Naked Sex Touchy Grabby
A quick review of tonight's "Cougar Town" season premiere coming up just as soon as I have a respectable Latin mustache...
The title card gag this week notes "Season Five? Didn't see that coming." And if you remember the show's early creative struggles, or its mediocre-to-bad ratings on ABC (especially towards the end), it's a pleasant surprise to still have the Cul-de-Sac Crew around — and to have the show still feel as clever and energized as it does throughout the premiere.
On the one hand, "All or Nothin'" brought back all the expected running gags like Penny Can (albeit with an amusing, stereotypically international twist), "Change approved!" and Jules' comically oversized wine glasses (Big Tippi — an homage to the guest star of last season's finale — is really just a vase). And I wouldn't want "Cougar Town" without that stuff (even if the show doesn't need to go to all of those wells in every episode), but I was glad to see "All or Nothin'" also exploring new material. Whether you're in favor of the Laurie/Travis hookup or not, it's a thing that's going to be weird for this group, between Laurie and Grayson having hooked up and Jules being creepy-close to Travis even before she grabbed his penis in the middle of a dirty "Psycho" parody. So that was a lot of fun. So was the resolution of Stan's "Nightmare on Elm Street" problem, with Tom as Freddie Kruger having a friendly coffee with the family to explain about his move to Canada. (It was a very good Tom episode in general, with him making an effort to keep up with the whole Crew as they split up as usual.)
I wound up only occasionally reviewing the show last season, and I suspect that will be the case this year as well. It's an insane midseason period, and "Cougar Town" has reached the point where I enjoy it a lot but don't have many new things to say. Definitely a promising start to the year, though, and I liked the other two episodes I've seen (which did not include next week's Matthew Perry guest spot).
What did everybody else think?

Pat Collawn
I'm going to start on slide four this morning. As you see, earlier this morning we reported our first quarter results and our ongoing earnings of $0.06 per diluted share compared with $0.10 a year ago. However, if you adjust last year's earnings to exclude the $0.08 contribution of the PNM gas operations we had an improvement in 2010, the $0.06 versus $0.02 without gas in 2009.
Our GAAP earnings are down reflecting an unrealized mark to market loss on economic hedges of $17.9 million at First Choice Power. Last year's gas results also reflect the one time gain of the sale of the gas operations.
As stated in our news release, our first quarter results were driven primarily by the performance of First Choice Power which contributed $0.11 to ongoing earnings. First Choice's improvement primarily is a result of significantly reduced bad debt expense. I'll go into more detail about First Choice in a moment. Weather also contributed to our earnings this quarter at PNM, TNMP and First Choice Power all of which benefited significantly from colder weather this year compared with 2009.
Let me highlight the first quarter. We're starting to see some signals of modest improvement in our economies in Texas and New Mexico. We did see a sign that customers are at least willing to spend a little more than they have in the past. Heating degree days in Texas and New Mexico were up substantially and customers responded by turning up their thermostats.
On the regulatory front, we continue to make progress in both New Mexico and in Texas and we saw strong performance from First Choice Power and their results more than offset the weak market prices we continue to see in ERCOT which negatively affected Optim Energy.
Let me turn to slide five and provide a bit more detail on the economy. For the first time since we began showing you these data points some time ago New Mexico's unemployment rate is higher than the Texas unemployment rate although both are still below the nation's average which this morning was announced as 9.9% as opposed to the 9.7% on the chart.
As I've mentioned, both for better and for worse, New Mexico's economy traditionally lagged behind the rest of the country in terms of showing results. Unemployment appears to be one of those economic indicators in which New Mexico lagged behind. Despite that indicator we are seeing some signs that the recession's grip is loosening in our service territories. Customer growth albeit modest, is occurring. We saw a little more than 0.5% in PNM and 0.2% in TNMP.
There's a little more information on Load on slide six. Energy sales are picking up in both of our regulated territories compared with 2009. Keep in mind though 2009 was a very down year so while we are seeing improvement we're closer to the levels that we saw way back in 2006. Weather normalized load grew 1.6% for PNM compared to the first quarter 2009. For TNMP the story is a little better, TNMP saw 2.3% load growth this quarter.
There are a couple things to take in mind when looking at this chart. First, in PNM you see strength in both the residential and the commercial marketplace, while the industrial line is down. However, industrial margins at PNM represent only about 7% of our retail margins so that load decrease was only 0.2% of PNM load. At TNMP we're not seeing residential uptake yet but you're seeing a very strong increase of 5.5% in commercial, again showing some signs that the recession is starting to loosen its grip.
Turning to slide seven, and give you an update on the significant amount of regulatory activities we have in both of our service territories. As you know, one of our goals is to have successful outcomes in all our upcoming regulatory cases. We are aiming for a June 1 filing and are on track for a June 1 filing with the PNM rate case which will be a future test period. This is likely going to be one of the most complex cases PNM has ever filed. When we file it we'll summarize the key points when we issue the news release announcing the filing and Gina and her team will post the supporting data and testimony on our website.
On the energy efficiency front, the Public Regulatory Commission recently adopted a rule that allows utilities to recover lost revenue associated with fixed costs. We filed our tariffs that reflect this and we're awaiting their approval. As you know, this energy efficiency tariff would eliminate the inherent disincentive all utilities face when implementing energy efficiency programs. We're very encouraged that the PRC recognizes the importance of saving energy in a way that does not penalize utilities.
In just 10 days, on May 17, the public hearing regarding our renewable energy plan begins before a PRC hearing examiner. You remember that we initially filed a plan that included a mixture of wind and solar power. That plan was criticized for not supporting more solar technology. We've since filed another plan that is 100% solar and that is the plan that is being considered. This plan has drawn criticism from the PRC staff, the AG's office, and others for not being the most cost effective way to deliver renewables.
From our perspective we're technology agnostic, we believe we're required to meet state mandated portfolio standards in 2011 and beyond and we remain steadfast in our position that we will not invest in any renewable project without a clear and certain avenue for cost recovery.
As we mentioned in the February call we expect to file a FERC transmission case for PNM toward the end of this year. Our last time to increase wholesale transmission rates incurred in March 2005.
If you move on to Texas, on March 2 we filed for a $5.5 million increase to TNMP transmission cost of service rates and in April the commission file staff filed their recommendation for approval and the ALJ approved it and filed an order. It will be decided upon on the open meeting scheduled for May 14 in Texas.
Later this quarter, pending our Board's approval, we anticipate filing for Advanced Meters for all of TNMP customers. This would be a capital investment of about $70 million. Texas regulatory environment provides for an accelerated review and approval of these automatic meter reading projects and we could be adding a rider to build as early as November on this. More to come on this project after Board approval but those of you that follow Texas know that Texas is very good in terms of these projects and they provide a very attractive return for the utilities implementing those.
We remain on track to file a general rate case for TNMP some time during the third quarter and again we'll keep you updated on this filing.
If we turn to slide eight we'll talk for a minute about the competitive businesses. The past 18 months or so in ERCOT have been unpredictable to say the least. We've seen market prices peak to all time highs and then plummet to near record lows. Throughout this turmoil our competitive retail operations in First choice and our generation company of which we own 50% Optim Energy have provided PNM resources with kind of a natural earnings balance.
With First Choice, ongoing quarterly earnings are above last year's results, as I said, largely due to a significant reduction in bad debt expense. As you see from the slide, quarterly bad debt expense was $5.8 million or about 5.1% of revenue compared with $14.3 million or 11.7% of revenue in 2009. During the quarter, First Choice had fewer customer departures and lower average final bills. Despite the fact that we're at 5.1% we still believe bad debt will finish the year at about 7% of revenue. Bad debt expense traditionally increases during the higher use months that are still to come.
If we look at Optim Energy, operationally Optim is solid and continues to perform well. Their power plants had excellent availability; those are in the appendix on slide A5 to look at. Optim will remain poised to maximize its fleet in respond quickly to market opportunities. They remain focused on cash conservation, a strategy which we announced to you last year. Overall with Optim the story remains the same as it did for much of 2009. Low natural gas prices continued to dampen power prices throughout ERCOT and have limited Optim Energy's performance.
With that I'm going to turn the call over to Chuck for the financial overview.
Chuck Eldred
As we mentioned in this morning's new release, we earned $0.06, we're down $0.04 from last year, that includes the $0.08 of the earnings from our gas operation which we sold early last year. If you exclude that $0.08 our first quarter earnings were actually up $0.04 from last year and that's largely due to colder weather, reduced bad debt expense at First Choice Power and the slight load growth in both New Mexico and Texas.
Turning to the individual business units on slide 11, this lists the major drivers of our quarter over quarter improvement in our regulated businesses. Let's start with PNM, this year the New Mexico utility reported ongoing earnings of $0.02 per share while last year the utility essentially broke even. Implementation of our first phase of rate relief which went into effect on July 1 of last year added $0.03 to the utilities earnings.
Colder weather contributed another $0.02 as heating degree days in New Mexico were up 22% from last year. Lastly, normalized load growth of 1.6% added another $0.01 of earnings. Partially offsetting the favorable drivers were $0.04 of increased outage and maintenance costs at Four Corners and San Juan, and $0.01 of higher pension and retiree medical costs.
At TNMP earnings were flat quarter over quarter. The implementation and new rates on September 1 of last year added $0.01 to earnings. Additionally, normalized load growth and colder weather each contributed $0.01. This past quarter Texas weather ranked as the 9th coldest in over a hundred years. Offsetting the favorable drivers were high interest costs which reduced earnings by $0.02.
The increase in TNMP interest expense is fully recovered in rates, however, it should be noted that a recovery is usage based so we'll see this as ancillary under recover in the shoulder months when usage is lower and over recovery in the summer when usage is highest.
Moving to our unregulated businesses on page 12. While the sustained low price environment limited Optim's financial performance in the first quarter, First Choice Power continued to deliver strong results, proving that the two companies combined provide a natural earnings balance. First Choice Power generated ongoing EBITDA of $16.7 million in the quarter up $4.7 million from last year.
As Pat mentioned earlier, the improvement was primarily driven by lower bad debt expense which declined from a little over $14 million to about $6 million or 5% of revenue. Clearly initiatives to reduce bad debt at First Choice has been implementing were paying off. However, despite the strong performance this quarter, we still anticipate bad debt for the year to come in at about 7% of revenue.
Traditionally bad debt tends to increase in the higher usage months as electric bills increase and customers switch in an effort to avoid paying their final bills. As expected, First Choice Power gross margin was down quarter over quarter as unit margins continue to contract. However, unusually cold weather helped offset some of the impact that was negative. Although customer counts were down about 10% quarter over quarter, sales volumes increased 4.5% reflecting a higher customer usage due to the colder weather.
Turning to Optim Energy, Optim generated EBITDA of $9.8 million which is up $8.5 million from last year. Although power prices remained low in ERCOT continue optimization of plant and commercial activities coupled with cost reductions implemented last year contributed to Optim's bottom line. One negative driver was the absence of emission sales. This year, given the current weak market for allowances, Optim did not sell any of its excess emissions. However, the company continues to monitor the emissions market and will sell its excess allowances when appropriate.
Moving on to guidance for the year. Despite slightly higher than anticipated outage costs and continued lower prices affecting Optim, we remain confident in our ability to deliver earnings within our original guidance range. We are affirming our earnings, unregulated EBITDA and cash earnings guidance. We still anticipate consolidated earnings to range between $0.60 and $0.72 per share with our regulated earnings coming in between $0.66 and $0.72 and our unregulated businesses contributing between $0.05 and $0.17. You can find the segment detail in the appendix on page A2.
Our unregulated EBITDA guidance ranges are also unchanged from last quarter although we do expect First Choice Power to come in on the high end of its range while Optim expects to be on the lower end of its range. Lastly, we still anticipate cash earnings to range between $290 and $315 million.
With that I'll turn this back over to Pat for her concluding remarks.
Pat Collawn
If you look at slide 14 this is the list of 2010 objectives we presented to you at the February call. I'm pleased to say the first quarter resulted in progress on two significant fronts and they are noted in the green print on the slide.
First, as I mentioned we filed the transmission cost of service proposal for TNMP and received staff and ALJ approvals. This rate proposal is on the May 14th PUCT agenda for consideration. Second, on March 9th Moody's revised its outlook on the company to stable from negative. This followed a similar move by S&P in December. Today all three rating agencies have stable outlooks recorded for the company. We'll go through this slide every quarter and I look forward to reporting continued progress on our checklist.
This concludes the presentation portion of the call. Operation we can start the Q&A session if there are any questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
I think previously your guidance assumed flat growth, low growth at the utilities but it looks like growth is slightly exceeding your expectations but you retained your guidance. I'm wondering are there some offsets elsewhere that we should be aware of.
Pat Collawn
Our guidance had anticipated some growth in Q1 even though it was flat for the entire year given that the first quarter in 2009 was the quarter that was extremely anemic, so that's one thing. We also expect a little more demand response associated with the fact that the second phase of our rate increase went into effect in April so there's a price increase there. And we true up our fuel clause in July so if we're under recovered at all you could see a bump in prices.
We also have several industrial customers that have said they're going to shut down some of their operations in New Mexico and while that's only a small piece of our load that's going to be happening later in the year. It's just a little too early to also tell I think if that growth in usage is sustainable.
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
We should just continue to assume flat year over year growth for the rest of the year?
Pat Collawn
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
Elaborate on your comment earlier that this upcoming PNM electric rate case is the most complex case in your history.
Pat Collawn
It's going to be switching from an historic test year to a future test year. That has not been done in New Mexico so that alone makes it very complicated. Our prices are currently set on a rate base in March 2008 so obviously there's a lot of regulatory lag plus going into the future. We also need to propose a solution to energy efficiency and the lost margins on that I mentioned that the solution we have in place right now is the commission will allow us to earn $0.01 on lost margin and we filed our tariffs for that but in this case we need what's called a permanent solution to that issue. You'll see that in there so we're dealing with that at the same time.
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
I don't want to jump the gun on the rate case filing but it seems like you're going to have a rather impressive accumulating rate base from March 2008 that would basically lead to a high double digit rate increase request and I'm just wondering if you had any thoughts on that and maybe the reaction from consumers and interveners.
Pat Collawn
Obviously we'll make our filing on June 1 so I don't want to jump the gun talking about it. I will say that we are well aware of other rate cases being filed and filing strategies and reactions and we're going to take that into account when we do our filing.
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
Could you remind me the 100% solar renewable plan how much is that total cost?
Pat Collawn
The 100% solar renewable plan that we filed $270 million.
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
How much were your emission sales in 2009 for the full year?
Pat Collawn
I don't know off the top of my head.
Brian Russo – Ladenburg Thalmann
On Optim, are you completely unhedged in 2011?
Pat Collawn
We haven't disclosed for 2011 yet.
Chuck Eldred
We still continue to take long positions but we're about 60% hedged for 2010 and 2011 we're still working through hedging strategies particularly with Twin Oaks which we haven't begun to disclose our positions there. We're not completely unhedged but we're not fully hedged by any means. Part of that is because we continue to remain in a long position anticipating the gas prices to be a little bit higher than where they are today.
Pat Collawn
We don't have the emissions sales right in front of us so we will get Gina to call you back with that number.
Your next question comes from Edward Heyn – Catapult
Edward Heyn – Catapult
On Optim, you highlighted that commercial optimization was up; can you give a little more color on what exactly that is?
Chuck Eldred
We've tried to point out the way you dispatch the power to the markets and dealing with ancillary services and also some down balancing of Twin Oaks where we can take that plant down and actually buy power in the market and sell that power. There's some things that we're able to do to optimize those assets. It's allowed for us to beat the balancing market and do better than what would be market prices would normally reflect.
Edward Heyn – Catapult
Do you guys have a number of what on a per megawatt hour basis your margins were for First Choice in the first quarter?
Chuck Eldred
We haven't provided that.
Pat Collawn
We haven't disclosed that.
Edward Heyn – Catapult
Is it safe to say that they were above what you're; I think you're assuming in your guidance that they go back to long term rates.
Chuck Eldred
When you get the 10-Q you'll see the details in there if you back out the economic hedges you'll get a pretty good idea. It's safe to say they were higher than what was anticipated. We still continue to see this downward trend we saw and talked about last year about a 20% decrease. We still anticipate the competitiveness in that market to support that kind of trend but certainly we are seeing margins to be slightly higher the first quarter.
Edward Heyn – Catapult
For bad debt and for margin the rubber hits the road as you get into the more meaty summer season?
Chuck Eldred
Yes, that's why we're being hesitant to say much more than we're certainly doing well for the first quarter but we have the summer months anticipating to see what happens.
Pat Collawn
I think you're starting to see the competitors be more aggressive on their pricing which is going to continue to put pressure on those margins.
I'm showing no further questions at this time.
Pat Collawn
I think everyone is probably focused on the broader market today and our upcoming rate case so thank you all for taking the time to join us this morning. As we said, we're on track for a June 1 rate filing at PNM and Gina and her team will get that out in a news release and post it on the web and be prepared to answer any questions. Thank you all and have a good weekend.
Thank you for your participation in today's conference. This concludes the program you may all disconnect. Thank you and have a nice day.

Newcomers charmed by Kump House
We moved here to our new home in August. As we were driving home we noticed a stately mansion that didn't seem to be lived in.
David became curious. The next day he stopped and read the marker. He wondered if help was needed to restore this wonderful house. The next week there was an event going on and he got to tour the house.
Imagine our surprise when we learned the history of this house. It is owned by the City of Elkins.
As residents we felt that we should do our share to support the Kump Center.
We have joined a group of citizens who are caring for this house. It is dedicated to helping educate children and teachers. If all of the owners could eke out a little time to provide funds, this would happen sooner.
In the meantime we are proud to live in a town that cares about its history and education.
Betty Jerde
and David Neal

|Quoting JakTrax (Reply 4):
Only faults I have found are that it can produce a pronounced red cast in certain light
|Quoting cpd (Reply 5):
You can manually set white balance, right? That should solve that issue, I'd have thought
|Quoting JakTrax (Reply 6):
Yes, but many choose to use AWB, which seems to do a better job of producing the red cast than many other Canon cameras. For a lot of people manually setting the WB is a chore - I rarely do it manually as it's easy enough to remove the cast in Photoshop. Plus of course light can change so quickly, especially here in the UK at this time of year.
Call me lazy but it works for me most of the time.
|Quoting 5J (Reply 1):
The 50D is still one heck of a camera.
|Quoting 5J (Reply 1):
I'd say it's better than the 60D.
|Quoting Silver1SWA (Reply 3):
Heck, I would still recommend the 40D!
|Quoting SNATH (Reply 9):
Clearly, you have very low standards. Many folks got a 50D and then dumped it and went back to their 40D. The extra MPs would be nice if they didn't come with more noise, softness, and worse high ISO performance...
|Quoting JakTrax (Reply 11):
but once you've locked an L on the front the performance is fantastic.
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Reply 14):
So what would you recommend instead?
|Quoting FedexL1011 (Reply 12):
Im looking at getting a SLR( trust me im on topic) and have looked at the 20D and 30D as they are lower priced are they still good? Is it the same rep as the 50D?

I wouldn't waste money on the purchase of cheaper lenses as a stop gap; save the cash until you have the funds for higher spec lenses.
|Quoting JakTrax (Reply 19):
a budget body with good glass will always beat an expensive body with cheap plastic.
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Reply 21):
I dont like the ergonomics of the 450D, 500D, 550D!
The 50D was the cheapest of the Canon range that felt ''right'' in my hands (rather large ones too!)
|Quoting Silver1SWA (Reply 24):
I say if you can find a 40D, get one and pair it with the 70-200 F/4L and you're gold. I'm not suggesting the 40D because I don't believe in the 50D. I'm recommending based entirely by price
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Reply 21):
I dont like the ergonomics of the 450D, 500D, 550D!
The 50D was the cheapest of the Canon range that felt ''right'' in my hands (rather large ones too!)
|Quoting NZ107 (Reply 26):
Now I've also paired it with some L glass and hopefully that will result in nice pictures
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Thread starter):
P.S I'll be looking at getting the Canon EF-S 18-135mm F.3.5-5.6, anybody got that with the 50D or any other camera? What's it like?
|Quoting 5J (Reply 23):
But you'll need some luck to find one nowadays, though.
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Reply 34):
With the D90, I like the ergonomics, and can get some good glass with it for the same price as buying the 50D body alone
|Quoting pilotalltheway (Reply 36):
I now have my 50D! Hooray
|Quoting JohnKrist (Reply 37):
Now get a lens and get out there
|Quoting JakTrax (Reply 39):
I can only really recommend the 18-135, 28-135 and 28-105

Do You Believe in Breaking in Your Running Shoes?
I wear my running shoes around the house for a couple of days before hitting the pavement and taking them for a run. Sugar user and veteran triathlete runningesq thinks I need to stop promoting the notion that running shoes need a break-in period. She says they should be ready from day one. What about you all.

When I observe what the Obama Administration and the Left are attempting to do with their diabolical "fundamental transformation" of America, I can no longer be "polite," or withhold the vitriol of my tongue. All I see is an all-out assault on our free republic by the forces of "democracy"–namely, Obama et al. and the Democrat Party.
"There are moments in life when true invective is called for, when it becomes an absolute necessity; out of a deep sense of justice, to denounce, mock, vituperate, lash out, in the strongest language possible."
–Yugoslavian born poet Charles Simic
Obama's recent attack on the First Amendment is the last straw for this American. This is war. Did I just declare war? No. Obama did! Obama has declared war on our Constitution, and our representative form of government. Barack has no respect for the rule of law provided by the U.S. Constitution. It is merely a piece of paper dear leader believes he can use to wipe his bony center of gravity with.
Let's just review the very first clause of the First Amendment as contained in our Bill of Rights:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …"
The Left purposefully ignores the coordinating conjunction "or" in the first clause of Amendment I. Why? Because it means what it says! It says Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion! It also states that Congress shall make no law establishing a religion!
The concept of "separation of church and state" is not contained in the First Amendment per se. The notion of the "separation of church and state" was penned in a letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in 1802. Madison described it as a "line drawn between church and state." Yet the courts have continually cited Jefferson's words as the definitive and deciding factor in adjudicating First Amendment cases, instead of using the First Amendment itself!
What many Americans do not realize is the day after Jefferson penned his famous letter to the Danbury Baptist Association he attended church services at the House of Representatives! So obviously Jefferson didn't believe the line between between church and state was so severe that the free exercise of religion would not be tolerated in the Halls of Congress–quite the contrary! It is the "free exercise thereof" that is guaranteed in the First Amendment, not freedom from religion.
I can no longer sit back and try to reason and engage politely with people who have decided to attack the most cherished freedoms and liberties we have as private citizens of this nation. We (Americans) have the rule of law on our side; we have the U.S. Constitution. Obama has mobs and cronies to circumvent the U.S. Constitution. So, I ask you, "Whose cause is righteous?"
No more Mr. Nice Guy! YOU BETCHA!
Adam Carolla on Government
Nugent on Obama and Gun Control
Breitbart on Winning
In conclusion, I would like to remind dear leader of the three main responsibilities of the President of the United States of America.
- To preserve, defend and protect the U.S. Constitution.
- To enforce the laws the Congress has written.
- Commander and Chief of the U.S. Military during a congressional act of war only.
You are failing on all counts, Barry!

The home of art & antiques auctions
Kieron Dyer will take you and a guest to Real Madrid to watch Real Madrid play Barcelona
Includes match tickets, overnight accommodation and flights.
Be Kieron Dyer"s guests at Real Madrid: Former England, Newcastle and Ipswich midfielder, Kieron Dyer has donated a unique 'money can't buy' prize, for two people to accompany Kieron as his guest to watch Real Madrid - and world record signing Gareth Bale - play Barcelona at the Bernabeu stadium next March.
Having played some of his best football under Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle United (1999 – 2004) and inspired by his old manager's inspiration, passion and kindness, Dyer, 34 hopes to continue the Sir Bobby's legacy as a spokesperson for the auction.
His magnificent auction prize includes flights, overnight accommodation and match tickets, as Kieron's personal guest, to see Real versus Barcelona in the "Clasico". Dyer has closely followed the career of Bale, 24, and the two know each well through mutual management teams. Dyer has no doubts that Bale can live up to his £86m price tag.

Ryne Sandberg to attend Crosscutters Hot Stove Banquet
Philadelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg will headline the Williamsport Crosscutters' eighth annual Hot Stove Banquet, set for Jan. 20, 2014 at The Genetti.
Other guests scheduled are the Phillie Phanatic and Montoursville native Tom O'Malley. Other guests from the Phillies and the world of sports are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Sandberg began the 2013 season as the Phillies third base coach, was named interim manager in August and formally named as the Phillies skipper in September to replace Charlie Manuel
Sandberg, a 2005 inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, was originally selected by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 1978 draft. He made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 1981. He was traded to the Cubs following the 1981 season, spending 15 years in Chicago.
Among his honors, Sandberg won the 1984 NL MVP Award, was a 10-time All-Star, won 9 Gold Gloves and 7 Silver Slugger Awards. From 1982-93, Sandberg led all NL players in hits (2,079), runs (1,141), total bases (3,273), at-bats (7,155) & times on base (2,759). At the time of his retirement following the 1997 season, his 277 home runs as a second baseman was a major league record.
O'Malley made his major league debut with the San Francisco Giants in 1982 and spent 9 seasons in the majors. He then went on to play six highly successful seasons in Japan with the Hanshin Tigers (1991-1994) and the Yakult Swallows (1995-1996) hitting over .300 in each of his seasons overseas. In 1996 with the Swallows, O'Malley captured the league MVP award as well as the Japan Series MVP as Hanshin won the Japanese title.
Further banquet information is available at www.crosscutters.com. A portion of the proceeds from the Hot Stove Banquet will benefit Lycoming County Special Olympics.
The evening will also include an inductee into the Bowman Field Hall of Fame, who will be announced in the coming weeks. There will be dinner, entertainment featuring interview segments with many of the special guests, in addition to Chinese and live auctions of Phillies and other sports memorabilia.
Tickets are $49 for adults and $39 for children and available by calling the Crosscutters offices at 570-326-3389.
The Crosscutters, who are the New York-Penn League's affiliate with the Phillies, open their 2014 season on Friday, June 13 at home vs. the State College Spikes.
