Ok - I had always planned to start my baby on solids at around 6 months (or when she is ready). However, my baby is in daycare and is not doing well with the bottle (of my milk). On a good day, she is only taking about 5 ounces (total). On a bad day - maybe 2 or 3 ounces (in a 10 hour time period). Her daycare thinks I should start her on cereal as she can be a bit fussy. She is gaining weight fine (she is already almost 19 pounds - off the charts for weight). I do get up with her frequently at night to feed her, but I am ok with this.
Should I give her cereal so she will have something in her belly while at daycare since she will not take the bottle? I hate to think of her hungry all day when I cannot be with her! I am so torn on what to do! Her doctor is fine with cereal now, I just don't know...Please help!

Roof repair and replacement is something that must be done every so often. Roofing Houston companies usually handle all forms of roof repair, replacement and other related repairs.
When a roof begins to leak and separate it probably needs to be repaired or replaced. Repairing a roof is far less costly however it certainly will not last as long as a new roof. If you replacement a roof with a brand new one the company will usually issue some kind of guarantee when the work is completed.
A roofing guarantee will essentially cover the homeowner if any problems arise after the new roof is installed. If leakage occurs after a new roof is placed then it would more than likely be fixed or replaced free of charge.
Most roofs will last a period for up to ten years or more. When a roof is replaced, the new roof is usually placed on top of the existing one. Most roofs will take a few days to completely install. The majority of roofs are made from a sturdy shingle.
There are some more stylish and expensive roofs that are made from decorative tiles. Mexican style roofs are normally made from a thick outdoor tile which is made to endure the outdoor elements. Many roofs of this nature must be special ordered.
Pit is important to secure a reputable roofing company. It is necessary to check the credentials of a company such as licensing and possible customer references. Reputable roofing companies are always insured. Insurance of this nature protects both the roofer as well as the customer in case something goes wrong.
Once you find an experienced roofer then it is important to sit down with the person and explain exactly what you would like to have done. In addition, at this point the roofer should give you a written estimate of all costs involved. Total cost of a new roof or roof repair should include all taxes and additional charges.
Finally, a roof is something that is necessary for a variety of reasons. A roof can add a great deal of style, warmth and charm to an existing home.

Getting Back On That Horse
The Padres were on a four-game losing streak, but they were coming home. They were facing a newly-off-the-DL Ted Lilly, but Kevin Correia was going out against him. This team has been so good lately, and I didn't think the sweep in St. Louis would deter us. At least, I hoped it wouldn't.
I love pitching duels (mostly because it means our pitcher is doing well), so you know I really enjoyed last night's game. Lilly and Correia were both excellent. Lilly went six innings, allowing four hits and striking out four. Correia went six innings, allowing three hits and striking out two, but walked four. In the sixth, Correia had a bases loaded situation, but barely squeezed out of it. Whew. Both pitchers were excellent.
Neither team scored until the top of the eighth. Mike Adams, of all people, allowed a triple and a single to hand the Cubs a 1-0 lead. But with this San Diego team, a one-run deficit is nothing. At least, I hoped it would be. I hate it when we lose 1-0.
Heath Bell pitched in the top of the ninth. He blew his second save of the season on Sunday, so I'm sure he begged Buddy to let him go out there last night to get back on the horse. Heath's just like that. Thankfully, he threw a scoreless inning.
Now, to the bottom of the ninth. Rally time.
Everth Cabrera started off the inning. "COME ON, E-CAB!!" I screamed. He promptly grounded out. Grrr.
Next, Eck walked. Yay!! Leave it to Eck to get on base for his team.
Adrian flew out. Uh-oh. Two outs. We totally cannot lose 1-0!!
No worries though. Chase Headley came up and doubled in the tying run. I loved watching Eck pound it out around the bases. Wow.
We're doing all this against the Cubs' closer, Kevin Gregg, by the way. Kouz gets intentionally walked to get to rookie Kyle Blanks. Wrong move.
Called strike, ball, and then walk-off three-run homer. Oh yeah. You don't mess with the big guy.
Kouz was so excited. The video is hilarious to watch. He was sooo pumped up!!🙂
I knew we could do it. This team is just too good to go down 1-0. So, we won 4-1!! It was a great way to start off the series and snap that losing streak.
Great performance by all the guys. I thought it was wonderful that we got the double and walk-off homer with two outs. That's just sooo cool!! We got it just barely, but we got it.
Yesterday we signed our number one draft pick, Donovan Tate. The guy's almost 19 years old, and he just got a $6.25 million deal. Wow. He was at the game last night, sitting five rows behind home plate.
Speaking of which, there was a pretty good crowd on hand last night. Sure, it was probably mostly Cub fans, but still. 23,420.
Well, tonight Cesar Carrillo is getting his second chance, and I'm scared. This guy was terrible last time out, and I don't know if that's going to change. Hmmm. Well, hopefully he will prove me wrong and throw an excellent game.
By the way, we got our 50th win last night. We still have 42 games to play. We have 70 losses, so there's still a chance that we could have a 100-loss season. But with this team, I highly doubt we'll get as close as we did last year.
Let's see how we do tonight. This team has been playing very well, and it's exciting. Every day, I have hope for Padres baseball. And that's a great thing to have.

That was a great, great win. I'm so glad I didn't miss that HUGE homerun by Kyle! Kouz getting a piggyback ride and Heath shoving the shaving cream in the face was absolutely hilarious. I love our boys! Ceaser Carrillo, I obviously have no idea why he is in our starting rotation but he better be good against the Cubs. I really hope that Donovan Tate is going to do a wonderful job for us.
Kaybee: Hey! Your Padres are copying my Yankees! Walkoff wins and then a pie in the face! That's A.J. Burnett's thing! He is the pie master! Jk. It's nice to see the guys have fun, especially the Padres. They aren't doing too well this year, and they can still have fun. That's nice. As Willie Stargell said, "They don't say 'work ball', they say 'play ball.'" So it makes me happy to see the players enjoy themselves. -Virginia

I just started it. I'm kind of new at the whole facebook thing, but whatever🙂
Welcome back to mlblogs.com You have a great blog here on the Padres and I saw that they won! The Indians sadly lost while I was in attendance for only the second time in my life. I have been to about 20 games so that is understandable.🙂

Whether you are in the centre of the room or off to one side, recordings sound uncannily real and utterly convincing.Play Movie >
Of the many landmark innovations KEF has pioneered, arguably the greatest of all is the Uni-Q point source driver array, with its outstanding acoustic clarity and off-axis dispersion. With over twenty years of continuous innovation and development the Uni-Q driver array achieves a level of sound quality over a broad area simply not achieved from conventional speakers.
With Uni-Q, sounds come at you so naturally that it seems as if the musicians or actors are actually there in front of you. Whether you are in the centre of the room or off to one side, recordings sound uncannily real and utterly convincing. Uni-Q achieves this because, unlike conventional speakers, the sound that is critical to the experience comes from the same point in space, and is produced in a controlled and continuous way over the whole audio range.
It is not easy to produce a convincing and realistic illusion of a live performance because the sound from a high quality loudspeaker does not come from a single source, or drive unit. Two or more units are required to faithfully reproduce the entire audio spectrum from the low bass produced by a concert organ or a cinema explosion, to the delicate nuances of the human voice in the midrange right up to the shimmering treble of cymbals. Most loudspeakers have the midrange and treble drive units mounted one above the other, so the sound is coming from two different places, causing audio 'confusion' and losing the chance of achieving a truly natural sound. With Uni-Q, the midrange and treble units are mounted at precisely the same point in space – allowing them to integrate perfectly and create the ideal sound field for the listener to experience a convincingly natural sound.
It has been well known for many years in the audio industry that one of the ideal forms for a loudspeaker is the 'point source'- where all the sound is radiated from the same point in space. To do this, the drive units (for example, the bass and treble units in a two-way system) need to be mounted so that their acoustic centres are at the same place. The problem in achieving this was the sheer physical size of the treble unit, which prevented it from fitting in the centre of the bass unit. Various forms of co-axial units emerged where the tweeter was mounted either in front of or behind the acoustic centre of the bass unit but these have significant drawbacks. The key to the invention of Uni-Q was the arrival on the market of a new magnetic material called Neodymium-Iron-Boron, which has ten times the magnetic strength of a conventional ferrite magnet. This material allowed a high sensitivity treble unit to be made small enough to fit within the voice coil diameter of a typical bass unit and so be placed at the precise point where the acoustic sources are 'coincident'.
With the acoustic centres at the same point in space the acoustic outputs of the bass and treble units are 'time-aligned' in all directions allowing the designer to achieve perfect integration between the units not just on one axis, as is the situation with vertically separated units, but in all directions. The first advantage of Uni-Q, therefore, is the lack of the vertical interference pattern of separated bass and treble units, which restricts the region of high quality sound output to only +/- 10 degrees above and below the principle axis. This same effect not only limits the vertical listening area but also produces a dip in the total energy output in the bass/treble crossover region, causing a distortion of the reverberant energy in the listening room. In Uni-Q systems this effect is completely eliminated.
From a listener's perspective, the combination of the matched directivity and precise time alignment in all directions gives significantly improved stereo imaging over a wide listening area, the realism of which is enhanced by the even balance of the reverberant energy within the listening room.
Whether you are in the centre of the room or off to one side, recordings sound uncannily real and utterly convincing.Play Movie >

A typical scene at your healthcare provider's office might look like this: you describe a physical complaint to your doctor, who examines you and writes a prescription for a medicine that has worked well for some of his other patients with similar complaints. You accept the prescription and leave.
But what's wrong with this scenario?
Two things, according to shared decision making experts:
Shared decision making is a process that recognizes the value of both the healthcare provider's recommendation and your personal perspective. Sometimes there is not a clear "best" treatment option, and that is when shared decision making can be most useful, providing a balanced process that considers all the factors at play.
Both you and your provider have a valuable perspective on medical decisions: your provider is trained in treatment options and is likely familiar with current scientific research, and you have the unique perspective of how your personal history, culture, needs, lifestyle, and desires affect your health and wellbeing [6].
A body of research conducted by the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation [7] indicates that the best medical decisions are made when they take both the provider's input and the patient's needs and desires into account. This process enables the provider to make more confident recommendations suited specifically for you, and it offers you a better sense of the range of available treatment options.
The process of shared decision making can be very simple. Your provider may offer you a "decision aide," such as a pamphlet about a condition or treatment, or an online tool so you know your options. He or she may describe alternative treatments and answer questions about the pros and cons of each.
In turn, you share any personal, social, cultural, or financial factors that may impact your medical decisions so the provider can take these into account when making treatment recommendations. For example, it would be important that your provider know you're an avid tennis player before suggesting courses of treatment for a torn rotator cuff.
The most effective way you can engage in shared decision making with your provider is to be prepared to discuss the multiple factors in your life that can help him or her make treatment recommendations. Ask questions. Take notes. You may want to print out our worksheet [8] that helps gather your questions and important notes before the appointment.
While there are many demonstration sites where healthcare providers participate in research on shared decision making, this process is not practiced by all providers. To help you make balanced and informed decisions, there are also online tools to help you weigh medical and health decisions. These tools allow you to take objective medical information and research, as well as your personal needs and desires, into account. In essence they simulate the process you would do with a provider who practices shared decision making (though they should not be used as a replacement for real medical advice).
If you are interested in exploring more decision-making tools online, the Ottawa Personal Decision Guide [9] offers condition-specific interactive tools, as well as a general decision making guide. Healthwise [10] is another good website with tools that help you weigh the benefits and risks of your healthcare options while taking into account your own personal needs and wishes.

Has anybody seen the car tony is running this weekend, If you haven't sheild your eyes when you do finally see it. Can you say yuck. This may be worse than the go green from last year. Oh well, maybe he can win in a ugly car I won't care so much then.
Re: The Glades scheme
Aw Come On Chip.....I've seen worse! Not the prettiest car he's driven, but I have definately seen worse!
remember to enjoy life.....none of us are going to get out alive anyway
Re: The Glades scheme
that green thing he drove in phoenix last year was bad, looked like someone had a bad night drinking.
I miss you Frehley........
Re: The Glades scheme
I like this car! It's different and The Glades is a fun show. Not the best but enjoyable.
Where there's Smoke, there's fire!

Welcome home to all our troops and vets.
Re: The Glades scheme
I would still rate the Go Greener, Subway, Shrek 2 and Coke C2 cars an uglier...but, yeah...that one would be in the "pig pile"...I doubt they'll make a diecast of it though.
...is that a breadstick or are you just happy to see me?
Re: The Glades scheme
Yes they will make a diecast and like the other pig pile cars I will own that one to.

I dunno', if it doesn't show up this week, it'll be a no-go...as is the case with a lot of the "movie/tv" cars, the licensing can be an issue. The good thing though is that is shouldn't be a hard set of decals to produce, so I'd expect it's likely there'll be customs at some point.
...we could always keep our fingers crossed for a "W" and a "Raced Win" car...

Halo: Reach ReviewBy Kevin Kelly - Posted Sep 11, 2010
Bungie's decision to veer away from Master Chief and instead feature a squad of Spartans with players driving replacement newcomer Noble Six, has paid off. Halo: Reach stands as a fitting capstone to Bungie's five-title legacy, both in campaign and multiplayer. Come for the story, stay for the fragging ... and eventually, the teabagging.
The Pros
- Noble Team becomes your family
- Multiplayer gets a huge shot in the arm
- Halo has never looked so good
The Cons
- A.I. drivers are atrocious
- Where's the emotion?
Halo: Reach Review:
Most developers and publishers pray for a title that is even marginally as successful as the Halo series has been. Once that success hits, however, it can pen you in creatively when people want you to return to the same formula every time. Yes, you're rolling in cash and popularity, but what happens when that creative well runs dry?
Luckily, that hasn't happened yet with Bungie. (Well, Post-Halo Bungie, that is; let's not forget Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete from back in 1992.) Since Halo propelled the company into superstardom, things have been marching steadily forward, and each new Halo title has added innovation while continuing Chief's story: Halo 2 added amazing multiplayer and dual-wielding; Halo 3 gave us deployable equipment and Forge; while Halo 3: ODST introduced Firefight. Now, Halo: Reach brings together all the lessons Bungie has learned over the years.
For Reach, Bungie could have easily slapped together a new Halo game, shipped it out the door, watched money pour in, and been done with it. Instead, they chose to go back to the drawing board, a move that stoked the fires of creativity and allowed them to say goodbye to their beloved franchise. That's why Halo: Reach isn't about Master Chief at all, and instead puts you in the armor of an entirely different Spartan.
There's No I (or pie) In Team!
Near the beginning of the game, you're asked what boots you want to put on the ground, meaning male or female. It's the first time we've had a female character as a playable lead in a Halo campaign, and I'm sure it's a welcomed touch to people who were tired of playing as testosterone-laden males. Based on your choice, the appropriate pronouns are used throughout the rest of the game and your model appears in the cinematics.
Those boots -- male or female -- are meant to be part of a team, which the game hammers home from its opening moments. Carter, Noble Team's battle-hardened leader, tells you at the start of the first mission, "We're a team. That lone wolf stuff stays behind. Clear?" From there on out, you're performing missions with Noble Team, and learning how to operate in conjunction with your fellow Spartans.
It's Got Game
As part of your first mission as a member of Noble Team, you're tasked with investigating a distress beacon. Command thinks that rebels are stirring up trouble on the outskirts, and you head out with the rest of Noble Team. After you step off your ride, you look around for a bit, before the game asks you, "Do you like these controls?" It's a bit more intrusive than the "aim at the lights" sequence from the original game, but a lot quicker to configure.
If you played the beta earlier this year, then you got your first look at armor abilities, which now appear as items (they look like a holographic representation of the ability) that you can pick up; however, you can only have one at a time. You'll encounter these slowly throughout the campaign. New to Halo: Reach is the hologram "decoy" ability, which didn't make an appearance in the beta. It sends out a decoy drone that looks just like you in a straight line, distracting your enemies.
Also new is the Drop Shield ability, which mimics the Bubble Shield from Halo 3. Hit LB to activate armor abilities for a short time, and watch the ring around the icon on the lower left that indicates how much usage you have left, and when they're recharged. Which is particularly important to keep an eye on when you're sporting the jetpack.
Other than a few small changes, this is your basic Halo. You can cycle the control scheme through six different settings to your liking. Turrets now overheat (even in the Warthog) when they're mounted, meaning you won't be able to pump a non-stop supply of lead into your foes. This also goes for the side-mounted turrets in the Falcon as well, so be prepared to wait through some cooldown time.
What's The Story, Spartan Glory?
As with all games, how it plays doesn't matter if the story is weak. You definitely don't have to worry about that here, as Reach contains a powerful and tragic narrative, set against the destruction of an entire planet. In fact, the moment the game begins, you're set against that ticking clock, knowing that nothing you do can stop it.
Ten missions pull you through the plot, and you'll be teaming up with various team members for different tasks. These might be retrieving information, planting explosives, evacuating survivors, or even entering orbit to engage in some space combat. There's a lot of variation here, including many different vehicle-based missions, and it spans almost every environment possible on Reach.
My only real issue with the story is the emotion, or rather, the lack thereof. Reach isn't constrained by time like a movie would be, but there are emotional moments that need to resonate, and, too often, the game rushes past them. Maybe that's meta-commentary on the nature of war -- that you can't pause for effect -- but I found myself wishing I could savor some of these powerful moments, rather than getting dumped back into gunfire immediately.
There are some nice grounding touches to the game as it dovetails perfectly into the beginning of Halo: Combat Evolved. There are other nice nods like encountering Buck from Halo 3: ODST during a mission later in the game. Overall, it's a satisfying story that doesn't feel futile, despite the end events. I don't want to give away anything, but there's a huge reveal near the end of the game, some familiar faces (and voices) and a nice little bonus after the credits roll.
You've Got The Look
Bungie redesigned everything in Halo: Reach, from characters to weapons to large-scale vehicles, and it shows immediately. You'll notice graphic detail in this game that trumps the last two entries in the series, and everything pops off the screen; Halo has never looked this good. From the menu screens to the space battle, the game has been overhauled miles beyond previous entries.
That look includes some changes to the game as well. Like the aforementioned overheating turrets, the game also has new Berseker Grunts who charge at you with two grenades in each hand, instead of one. There's a night vision mode, similar to the ODST visor, which you can activate by hitting left on the D-pad. Creatures native to Reach, from rats to enormous Gueta, appear in the world from time to time.
There are times when you'll be partnered with random squads of UNSC soldiers (one of mine was First Lieutenant B. Jarrard, after Bungie community lead Brian Jarrard). It's smart to try and defend them when you can, and you'll feel responsible if they die, because the game carries on, but without your little buddies. It's all of the little touches like this that add icing to the already impressive cake that is Halo: Reach.
Multiplayer Madness
What's a Halo game without multiplayer? Halo and Halo 2 were the flagship franchise titles for the Xbox, and Halo 3 continued the love affair. Bungie holds dear the tenet of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and makes it their own by changing it to "If it ain't broke, give 'em a lot more of what they like."
Multiplayer is simply massive this time around. There are multiple multiplayer game modes (12 total), variations on those modes (18 total), three playlists (competitive, cooperative, and arena), and tons of maps. The game ships with 13 (eight normal and five Forge World) multiplayer maps, eight Firefight maps, and you can already download dozens of new maps through file share. Firefight has tons of parameters you can alter, so it all adds up to a ton of variety.
Everything has been turned up to 11, even customization. Halo 3's Forge pales in comparison next to Forge World, which contains a vast palette of toys to play with on a huge, sprawling landscape. You can toy around with gravity, physics, and tons of different tools, giving you a god-like ability to affect the landscape and build your own multiplayer maps.
Plus, everything you do in Halo: Reach, from campaign, to designing levels, to multiplayer, earns you credits. Those credits go towards buying armor appearance upgrades, new Firefight voices, armor effects and more. Tooling around Forge World? You'll earn credits. Start a custom game with just yourself? You'll earn credits. Play the single player? You'll … well, you get the picture.
Is It Perfect?
Almost. There are a few things that stick out like bent nails, and you wish Bungie could go back into the game and pound them down with a Gravity Hammer. The most glaring of these is the A.I. driving ability, or rather, inability.
If you're going in a straight line, things are fine; however, if there's even the smallest bit of debris in front of you -- say, a chunk of a Ghost you just exploded -- then the A.I. will take great pains to turn around it using maddening three-point turns. Remember that scene in Austin Powers where his cart is impossibly wedged in a hallway? That's what this feels like at times.
The real reason the A.I. driving stands out is because you don't want to drive all the time, especially when you're talking about a vehicle with a massive gun in it. You want to fire that thing! Just be prepared to switch between turret and driver's seat often.
Objectives are another small issue. Sometimes you'll be in a mission, and realize that you have no idea where you're supposed to go. Sometimes you'll get audio telling you where to go, but if you're engaged in combat or doing something else noisy and miss what they said, you're out of luck.
Have You Even Read This Far?
Chances are that if you've ever played another Halo game, you'll be picking this up at launch. However, that's not to say that newcomers to the franchise shouldn't consider it: this is your optimal jumping-on spot with a brand-new title that follow a new team. The events might lead up the first Halo game, but you don't need to know that to enjoy yourself. There's a solid story here, with multiple interesting characters.
You almost need to look at Halo: Reach as two games, with one being the campaign you can tackle solo, or with up to three friends, and the other game as the multiplayer experience that has been pumped up with plenty of new opportunities for death. Oh, and fun. If you own an Xbox 360 and want some serious enjoyment, this is a must-have title.

Best Lens in the Box
By Iamretired
from Justice, IL
Comments about Canon 55-250mm Camera Lens - Black:
I received this lens with my T5i camera along with the EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS STM. I hardly ever use the latter lens outdoors. The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II to me is a standard lens for all around use outdoors. I am a nature photographer, especially birds. I added a 2x telephoto extender to the lens and it is very difficult to focus manually and still get good shots of birds in flight. However, without the extender, I have had great success with the auto focus and have not used a tripod yet. Hand held shots are easy and come out great. I have also used this lens to shoot wedding photos. Mine came out better than the professional photographers. Maybe because I knew what I was shooting. I highly recommend this lens. It is one that should be in everyone's bag. The price is right and this is a great lens.

Very nice tool in my bag
By raywzou
from Undisclosed
Took a few shots with this on a dance recital, and was amazed by the focus and sharpness. Was thinking of upgrading the 18-55 and 55-250 combo to 18-135 and selling the combo after. Now have to rethink if I want to let this one go.

Awesome detail at long distances
By dran_reb
from Wisconsin
This lens can capture amazing detail at a distance. I love it. I really like how I can get a beautiful, soft blurred background and yet have every last fine detail of my subject stand out. For example, at the zoo, I was able to get beautiful images of animals where you can see all the fine details of their feathers or fur, making you want to reach out and touch the photo. The image stabilization feature really helps a lot. I can capture very sharp photos of fast-moving objects, even while zoomed all the way in and handholding the camera. It has been fun to take pictures of faraway objects and look at them later, to discover details that I couldn't see with the naked eye at the time. If you like to take photos of animals or fill the frame with distant details, this is a good lens.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
great zoom for price
By upstater
from unadilla ny
I own this lens and use with T2i , i do mostly out door nature pix and find this lens light weight and good for close ups and short distances, i am not a professional so i dont know all the correct terms but the pictures are sharp and color is good,also the lens covers a lot of ranges so i leave it on my camera most of the time..so this is a good overall lens for everyday use ,
Best value & quality in a crop-sensor tele-zoom
By MEJazz
from Austin TX
If you own a crop-sensor camera like any of the Digital Rebels or the Canon 50D/60D/70D or even the 7D then this is THE value telephoto zoom lens to get. Beside its intended use, Its ideal for travel due to its low weight, good zoom range, and low cost - even if you damaged/lost it, it won't be a big setback. Unless you're a professional, this lens is all you need. One of the best value lenses from Canon.
OK Lens for snapshots - poor focus at infinity
By JonB
from Westminster, Colorado
I have been using this lens for 6 months regularly. It was purchased as a refurb. Generally, it has functioned very well, mechanically. The focusing motor is good and I don't feel that it is noisy. I would use this lens much more often, except that for more distant subjects the focus is very poor at any aperture setting.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A decent telephoto lens for the price
By JSB
from Denver, CO
I have used this lens for distant (tens of kilometers) mountain shots, as well as to get closer to wildlife that is relatively nearby (50 meters, or so). The quality of the build of the lens is good, and I have been satisfied with the autofocus and IS. However, I have been unhappy with the crispness of the focus of this lens - particularly for distant shots. For closer scenes, the focus is better, but still cannot be described as "crisp". I will "get by" with this lens until I can afford a better one.

I have to say, that after having used this lens for some time now, that I have not had the quality results that others have had with this lens. The older version of this lens was better, in my opinion...disappointed.

Sturdy and great lens
By Rayne
from Oroville, CA
When I got my T3 I knew I needed an upgrade from the kit lens. After a lot of research I knew this lens is the one. When I finally got it I tested right away and the results were amazing. I just love this lens overall. Takes amazing nature photos. And now I have a 7D the pictures are even sharper than ever.

Nobody cares. This team puts me to sleep. It's actually an achievement for me to stay awake until the end of the game these days.
But seriously, I'm sure you did a fine job putting it together...look forward to watching it when I have more time.
My love for Gordy Hayward is unabashed.
Thanks for the work DJB. I'll watch it tonight.
Also I am having a hard time paying attention to the games when the starters are in. Gameface has said it's been over a month since he watched a game at all.
#BelieveInLindsey #BelieveInSnyder
Nice work!! Makes me miss Hayward. I forget how much he brings to the game, even when he's not scoring.
Looking forward to part two.
I agree with what everyone else has said about not being able to stay awake for these games.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
Pansies.. you call yourselves fans??!?
Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
I for one, have not missed a game yet this year and probably wont miss a game all season.... even when the games start late and i have to be up for work in the morning at 6 i still stay up to watch...
I need to be sure to watch so i can have my material to bitch about right?..... seriously though, i still love game nights and get excited for each game even though i hate watching the starters play, and play so damn much.
But my love for The Four and demarre (and even randy foye a little) keeps me excited and watching.
Great collection of highlights.... just bad video quality is the only problem.
Good work thank you. I felt like the Jazz were a contender during the time I watched it. If the brightness and contrast would be fixed, I would recommend the roster to watch it. But this way, it seems kinda cool in its own way.
Yeah Hayward can do a little bit of everything out there. Thanks dude.
Thanks, didn't think the quality was that bad tbh but it's hard getting all HD stuff.
I reckon the brightness and contrast look fine on most videos it's just the bad quality ones that make it look bad. Thanks.
Thanks guys for the responses, on the note that it's hard to watch Jazz games and I guess I get where you're coming from in some ways but I still find myself enjoying the games a lot, and yes I sit through it all. The development of our young guys etc is great to watch at times.

But when you're dealing with a bureaucratic megalomaniacal organization like the IRS, you have to do something to get their attention.
You might have heard the expression, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Well, it fits in here like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Now, you don't really have to be a jerk (usually), but it pays to be persistent and well-informed in the tax issue you are trying to resolve.
If you present your case in a cogent, rational manner, you're less likely to be given the never-ending run-around.
No. 1: Some entry level agents have no financial training
Quite often you'll find that IRS auditors and collection agents at the entry level don't have backgrounds in tax laws, IRS procedures and practices, or even finance.
Instead, people who get behind on their taxes are normally funneled to a specialized branch of the IRS called the Automated Collection System (ACS).
The word "automated" is a bit of a misnomer. ACS agents are tax collection specialists whose job is to get you to pay in full the tax you owe, plus any penalties and interest that's accrued. Even though many of these officers lack a financial education or training, it's crucial that you pay attention to what they say. They have the same authority as any other IRS agent, meaning they can garnish your wages, enforce bank levies and hit you with a tax lien.
Bottom line: do whatever you can to avoid being delinquent on your taxes so that you never have to worry about these pencil-pushing, pocket protector wearing IRS agents.

My DH and I are on the same page about waiting on starting solids until at least 6 months. However, my DD is just past 5 months and in the 93rd percentile all around, she's sitting up, grasping for toys and playing with them, and doing very well all around. Recently, she's discovered napkins while we're eating. She fusses if we don't give her one. We thought it was cute because she'd play with it, but now she's basically eating it. So, because of her coordinating, we wanted her to "try" a little banana in one of those mesh teething rings. Well, we gave her one once and she was just kinda licking it. The next morning we gave it to her again she was seriously sucking the banana out of the mesh bag! Now I'm sitting back thinking, 'I was going to wait until Thanksgiving to start and now I've done it.' Huge, major guilt.
I bought rice cereal today and have no intention on starting her on it until Thanksgiving, like I said. I figure if we're ready to start her, we'll feed her frozen BM slushee to practice with the spoon maybe on the weekends. Is it OK to keep giving her banana in the mesh bag maybe 5 times a week until we "officially" start? I figure tasting a banana would be better than a napkin. Is that OK? Am I bad mommy?

Ohio State makes playoffs
Senecas kick away?Tigers
NORTH BALTIMORE – The third time was a charm. So was the fourth, which goes to show that, with practice comes progress.
And Calvert had lots of practice here Friday night working its onside kicking game.
Michael Smith's nubber to start the game was recovered by North Baltimore. But the Senecas kept trying the onside approach – five more times in the first half.
Of course, the only way you get to try is by scoring and Calvert did plenty of that in bouncing the Tigers 49-12.
"Anybody watching film knows we rarely kick deep," Calvert coach Todd Fox said after his club improved to 3-4 overall. More important, the Senecas are 3-1 in Midland Athletic League play to remain part of a four-way tie for first place in the league's final season.
"We started (the short-kick game) about four weeks ago and we'll continue to do that," he said. "That's just our aggressive approach to kicking the ball. It takes a lot of work for the other team (to prepare)."
It was up to the Calvert defense to establish the tone for the offense. North Baltimore advanced to the Seneca 7 before a penalty and a sack of quarterback Lane Bishop by senior Marcus Somers ended the threat.
Later, Drew Ritzler intercepted a Bishop pass at the Calvert 10 to stop another threat.
"That's been our problem – we haven't been finishing our drives," North Baltimore coach Greg Bishop said. "We get into the red zone and then stub our toe with a penalty, a miscommunication or some other type of mistake and it hurts us."
The Ritzler pick set up the game's first score as Calvert drove 73 yards in seven plays. The capper was Tyler Long's 36-yard scoring pass to Dan Reineke. Long ran for the extras for an 8-0 first-quarter lead.
Another big defensive play came when Long and Ritzler sandwiched NB runner Taylor Bishop and forced a fumble that became a turnover at the Seneca 27.
From there, Calvert took command with three touchdowns in a little less than three minutes.
Austin Ball, who broke the Tiger defense for 242 yards on 22 carries, sprinted away for a 73-yard score on the first snap as Calvert went ahead 15-0 with 9:14 left in the half.
Reineke then recovered the onside kick at the Tiger 43. It was another one-play score as Long hit Reineke over the middle. Reineke's run off a side-winder PAT snap was successful to make it 23-0 with 9:05 showing.
Donavon Stith pounced on another onside kick and the Senecas were on the run again. This time, they needed six plays, but the result was the same as Adam Recker powered in from the 4.
"We're having fun on special teams," Fox said. "We're working hard at it and taking care of business."
A fake punt was part of the special-team package as front-man Long went 25 yards for a first down on Calvert's final possession of the half. Long took it in from 31 yards out a moment later to cap the Senecas' 36-0 burst.
The two teams traded scores in the third period as Ball raced 47 yards on the first snap of the second half for Calvert and the Tigers countered with Lane Bishop's 15-yard TD toss to Sean Watson.
When Recker scored on an 11-yard run with 6:10 to go, Fox had Long take a knee on the PAT for a 49-6 advantage. The plan was to try to score 55 points as a tribute to Raymond Stearns, a 16-year math and science teacher at Calvert who died Tuesday at his home.
"It's been a tough week emotionally and mentally for our kids, going through what they went through in losing a beloved teacher in Mr. Stearns," Fox said. "They asked me on Tuesday saying, 'Coach, we want to score 55 points; Mr. Stearns was 55-years-old."
In the end, Lane Bishop's 6-yard run with 3:12 left closed the scoring. Things were a little dicey between the two clubs from there as Calvert took its shot at 55 but came up shore as time ran out.
"For kids, they were looking for a way to get to that point," Fox said. "And with (North Baltimore's) offense, the best in the league statistically coming in, we thought we may need 55 points to beat this team.
"At the end, every single one of our kids was reaching for 55 points," he said. "We're bummed that it didn't happen, but I'm glad we kept fighting to the end playing football."
