Sigma to launch non-stabilized 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM for Sony and Pentax
Sigma is launching a non-stabilized version of its 17-50mm F2.8 EX DG HSM for Sony and Pentax. The lens replaces the existing OS versions for these two mounts, for which most cameras have built-in stabilization. The latest version will be available from December 9th. The Japanese recommended selling price remains the same as for the OS version.
Press Release:
SIGMA 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM F/SONY, F/PENTAX
The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM for Sony, and for Pentax.
This large aperture standard zoom lens is designed for digital SLR cameras and covers a focal length from 17mm wide angle. It is a compact lens with an overall length of just 91.8mm (3.6"). This lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, making it ideal for many types of photography such as portraiture and landscapes. Two FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite glass, compensate for color aberration. Two glass mold and one hybrid aspherical lens, provide excellent correction for field curvature and astigmatism.
The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghost. This lens has superior peripheral brightness and provides sharp, high contrast images even at the maximum apertures. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. Incorporating HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), the lens provides fast and quiet AF. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 28cm (11") throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5. The rounded 7 blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out of focus images. The inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for use with the supplied petal-type lens hood and circular polarizing filters.
17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM for Sony and for Pentax will be discontinued with the launch of this lens.

I contacted my local Sigma supplier on the subject of the price and the quality of the new lens. Whilst they didn't tell me much, it does appear we can expect to hear more from Sigma in the next few days. The response:
"Sigma UK are at the mercy of our Parent company for pricing announcements etc. DP Review who are based in Seattle have contacted Sigma America to comment on the issue of pricing. There should be a comment within the next few days.
We have not yet had a sample of the new lenses so we are unable to comment on the difference between the two."
lol...if they reduced the price it might make sense, but as it is now, no...unless optical performance magically got better on Pentax/Sony systems by locking the lens elements in place w/ something that doesn't fall off or weaken over time :-)
It's too bad...drop the lens down to the $400 street price point and they'd have a lot more buyers...
What a crock of s#1+. I just bought the 17-50 reluctantly because Sigma also recently dropped IS from the 17-70. I need the IS to be able to take longer videos on the a55.
If they dropped the price on this to be in line with the Tamron 17-50 then it might be worth looking at but the money would still be better spent elsewhere. I'm wondering how much of this move was due to pressure from the notoriously evil Sony corporate types.
Sigma has burned me so many times in the past, my 17-50 with OS will be the last Sigma lens I ever buy.
Looks like all Sigma is doing is disabling the stabilization motor in the lens. The size is identical, and the weight is only 15 grams less than the stabilized version. Similar to other Sigma and Tamron pricing moves, I sincerely doubt Sigma will charge less for the non-stabilized version (as compared to the IS version).
Well now there is nothing to differentiate between the Sony 16-50mm and the Sigma 17-50mm as both have HSM/SSM motors and both lack OIS. So no need to go for Sigma considering it costs the same the Sony and the Sony has the advantage of being weather resistant and less prone to sample variation.
Plus the Sony is guaranteed to be compatible with every Sony DSLR release. Sigma lenses first faced aperture problems with the first Sony SLT cameras and now they face AF issues with the newer A77 and A65. Best to avoid Sigma now more than ever.
I am a Sony user who is considering a fast standard zoom. But I will not put this lens into my list, just because of its marketing decision of retaining the same price as OS version. This is nothing about quality. It's an attitude.
Not to seem like a troll, but in the past two things cross my mind. One is the insistance that having IS in the camera means cheaper lenses. Many of us have preached this not to be true, that IS is not that expensive considering the economy of scale. In some cases, it adds no cost after amortizing out the R&D in the case of Nikon and Canon whose lens might cost less than the equivalent non IS lens from Sony or Pentax. This is just another example, yet I guarantee that someone will bring it up again in the beginner's forum.
Secondly, I've heard so many times about the in-body being just as good as the in-lens IS, yet I hear a cry at the possibility of removing it from other lenses as well like the 50-500. Why is that? If in-body is just as good, why care if it is removed?
The only advantage I can see, and it's a darned good one, is in-body IS can help to stabilize older lenses which never had IS. As usual, in photography, it's a compromise. It would be nice to have both on my Nikons.
The biggest advantage to me of lens IS, is with video. That's why the choice would be nice.
Adding O/S to a lens does add cost. Just look at what happens to the price of Sigma lenses when they bring out an O/S version of a lens that was previously lacking this. The cost goes through the roof.
The fact this lens is going to be priced the same as the O/S version is just stupid marketing from Sigma. They have guaranteed Sony sales for the 16-50.
3rd part lenses need some unique selling point to sell and when they are standard zooms like this and the camera maker makes an equivalent lens then that USP has got to be price. I'd be amazed if they keep the price high if they sell a single one of these lenses.
As a Sony user myself I do not want O/S in lenses because it just adds needless complexity with the floating lens group. It is just something else to go wrong.
Some Sony users will however like O/S in Sigma lenses because they can use them via an adapter on a Nex camera which lacks IBS. Does not appeal to me but does to others.
In terms of image stabilisation, in-body is as good as in-lens.
The big advantage of in-lens is that it stabilises the viewfinder.
R&D costs for Pentax and Sony versions are not separate from Canon and Nikon versions, and if the OS version of the Bigma costs the same for Sony as for Nikon, why make a non-OS version of any other lens just because it's a Sony? It can only add to costs.
The biggest problem with in-lens is: You have to make sure that both systems aren't on or off at the same time.
I rather buy the Sony 16-50/2.8 for $30 more, optically better and smaller.
What are you guys talking about? This is clearly for Pentax and Sony owners with built-in stabilization in the camera body in the form of sensor-shift. Having a optically stabilized lens with an in-camera stabilization makes things worse. To answer a lot of your questions, it is Pentax and Sony owners of the aforementioned cameras that will buy this lens instead of the OS version. Think about it.
I whole heartedly agree, however, that the suggestion to make it same market price is foolish and a rip off. At the very LEAST, make it smaller, cheaper, lighter weight, or optically better. Optical stabilization is usually from a couple gyrating lens elements. I wonder if they just disabled the motor that spins them and left it inside (motor and gyrating lenses). What a low blow Sigma!
have you read the reactions here? most people who reacted are Pentax and Sony owners.
making it smaller that what it is now will make it even more expensive because it means totally new investment for facilities, equipments, tooling, , etc. But removing the unnecessary parts (OS) inside would mean less cost for components. But I suspect that Sigma's design is all integrated because they started with the OS design. This means removing the OS parts would make the whole lens inoperable. So they still probably have to put all the OS elements and components necessary to make it work.
Having a system that has both lens image stabilization and body stabilization gives a user the best of both worlds.
For longer focal lengths, switch to lens stabilization as that will be more effective (by a little bit). Also shooting video is better with lens IS.
For primes you have body stabilization (Canon and Nikon don't have IS in any of their wide/normal primes).
For Sigma to take OS out of this lens and charge the same price is ridiculous. Even though Sigma and Tamron have been doing this practice for a few years, it's good to see dpreview making this as news and informing people, as it seems from reading alot of these comments that not many people are aware of this.
@waxwaine: I too am a Pentax user (and also Canon). I has the Sigma 17-70 HSM OS lens before, and did a review on Pentaxforums.com. The thing about OS implemented by Sigma is that the OS lens elements are continuously gyrating, even if you have the OS switch disabled. As a result, battery drains faster because the camera is still feeding the OS power.
@straylightrun: Yes, I agree with you. Longer focal lengths fare better with OS than body IS. Plus, video does not pick up sounds as much with lens OS. I just wanted to make a point that Pentax and Sony users are best-suited for non-OS lenses.
Sigma is helping me to decide to go for Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, untead of Sigma one. Thank you Sigma!!!.
Does it have "Quick Shift" to override the AF to MF for Pentax version ?
Still don't understand we have to pay more for the less features. Although I can understand the less market share and comparable effectiveness of in lens OS for shorter FL lens. Hopefully Sigma will not get rid in lens OS for longer lens.
Right, the loss of the OS almost does not makes 17-50 worse, but it will make 18-250 MUCH worse, while for 50-500 it would be a disaster...
i assume sony alpha and not e-mount? Maybe a bit more info would help...
That's kinda funny... "We will give you a worse lens, but don't you dare to pay us less!". They could do at least a small price reduction...
What a slap in the face of Sony/Pentax owners..
And they are "pleased" to announce this new version.. Well, none of us are "pleased" by this announcement.
I think its wierd and stupid. OS is actually useful even when you have IBIS. Thats why its much better to use Panasonic lens on Olympus than Olympus lens on Panasonic. Cause on Olympus you can choose which kind of stabilisation you want and for longer lens, lens based stabilisation is pretty usefull (on short end for longer exposures is actually IBIS quite handy).
Its better to be able to choose what you want, than not being able to do that.
Lets see. . .in February they said we'd have a new 50-150 OS in May. Hmmmm. . .here it is December. Still waiting. They need to hire some new marketing genius.
This is nothing new. Sigma usually does this with lenses they produce for the Sony mount version. For example the Sigma 30/1.4 in a-mount does not have HSM and it's the same price as the other versions. Tamron also does this eg. their 18-270mm comes with PZD and VC, except the Sony has no VC and it's the same price.
The real upside to shooting with Sony/Pentax is having image stabilization for primes.
Wow. What an advantage. The same optics with less features for the same price.
And even less demand with decisions like this.
I mean its not like it had to be much less to sway people - even a token amount would have been better.
Sigma 17-50 F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Canon: 17 Elements, 13 Groups
Sigma 17-50 F2.8 EX DC HSM Pentax: 17 Elements, 13 Groups ??
... are the OS Elements Glued ?? :)
It isn't economically feasible to produce different optical makeups, so yes, they simply have remove the sensors and micro motors that moved the OS group and fixed them in place.
Tamron's 17-50mm F2.8 is an optically marvellous zoom, which is better optically than almost all 18-50mm/17-50mm F2.8 Sigma zooms and at a FRACTION of the Sigma lenses' prices. Sigma has occasional marketing black outs, SD1 being a major one; also, I still cannot understand why the superb 50-150mm F2.8 was discontinued.
There is quite high sample variations, so test of Tamron/Sigma should be done from like at least 5 samples, to actually prove something. :D Tho generally I think Tamron is slightly better in this regard (sample variation).
The biggest Sigma's advantage was HSM and OS.
The biggest Sigma's disadvantage was high price.
Sigma decided to remove it's biggest selling advantage and retaining the biggest disadvantage. ...and STOP produce the older better model in favor of worse new model. Why to buy this lens???? I'm interesting for it's reviews.
... similarly I do not understand why SIGMA stopped production of good 50-150/2.8 non stabilized lens months ago and announced new OS version which availability is unknown ..... there is currently no sigma 50-150/2.8 on the market neither old nor new model.....
This could have been interesting. If
a) The lens was measurably smaller than the predecessor. No information in the press release about that.
b) The optical quality is significantly higher than the OS version. Again, no way to tell from the sales pitch.
Assuming they would have crowed about it if any of those were true, it seems like just another ripoff - selling less at the same inflated price. But I suppose they need a fatter margin to meet the CEO bonus after their brilliant SD1 moves...
Why would anyone now buy this lens? The appeal of the lens was mainly in the optical stabilizer the predecessor had as it is more efficient than the built in stabilizers, reduced the overheating issue of the SLT cameras, stabilized the viewfinder, stabilized the image the autofocus works with - so now this lens is just another "Oh Sigma produces one of these as well..."
Wow.....I am amazed at the hate mail these new products get, Lol.
Would have thought someone just took one of your favourite toys !!!! The Pentax Q has a rival for negative reaction here..........
Now I am looking to upgrade my glass from Pentax kit, so already have image stab in camera, like the quality of EX glass, cheaper than Pentax glass.....
Hmmmmm, am I missing something here, I would have thought it would be a definite option for someone like me????
Arent Sigma just offering a specific option for people with in camera stab?? Would have thought that was commendable, as you can get issues with trying to use lens stab at the same time.
robbo, the anger is because Sigma released the OS version 2 years ago for Sony / Pentax, but are now revising the design to remove the OS without any additional features e.g. reduction in size / weight / improved IQ but plan to charge exactly the same as before.. and stop making the earlier OS version in Sony / pentax.. but keep making the canikon version WITH OS.
Come on....really, no reduction in price? De-content and retain current price...way to get people to try 3rd party products!
From my past experience with Sigma on four different mouns I can say: Shove your lenses up your a**, Sigma!
Quality control don´t exists. Decentered lenses are the rule rather than the exception.
I would rather stick a K-mount adapter to a old jam glass than using a Sigma lens.
I own a Pentax K7. Considering Pentax only makes one f2.8 SDM at this range that costs $1500 or so and has far worse distortion characteristics than the sigma which is ~$800 cheaper I can still see the benefit for that system at least. I could care less about lens based stabilization systems, half the reason for buying a Pentax was to avoid needing that in a lens. I agree that they should drop the price a bit for the non-OS version though, the hardware can't be free.
I would sell you DA*16-50 for $1,500 if you want, but the rest of us can get it new for $849.95 from Amazon or B&H.
Regretfully, Sigma remains on my "don't touch this" list for good, hence the annoying QC as Lupti points out...
:-( Looks like an epic Google failure earlier. I'm seeing the price you quoted above now. I'm still standing by the Pentax being fairly ridiculous on the level of distortion for a lens that expensive. These days though, who cares... that's why we have in camera corrections and / or Lightroom.
Well, I have the OS version for the Sony mount. While I hardly use the lens OS -since using the in-body-stabilization saves battery (and is just as good if not shooting video), I have to say that this is my favorite lens.
It produces fantastically sharp pictures most of the time and the colors are nice, too.
Well, you can make the argument that the removal of the OS element inside the lens results in higher IQ.
For an example see the fact that the 70-200 non-OS version was sharper than the new OS version and on Sony and Pentax mounts it was already Image Stabilized.
The press release seems to indicate the same # of elements and # of groups. It seems like they used the same lens design but just permanently 'fixed' the lens elements that used to move.
It seems the commentary on any product is now only negative.
Seriously? I've been thinking about this for the last half an hour and trying to give Sigma the benefit of the doubt because they are a successful company. But I just can make any sense of this lens. Why are they duplicating what already exists in the market. The Sony 16-50 is almost the same price and with no weather sealing on the Sigma, I don't see any value added. Why one would choose this lens over the kit lens. It's really quite strange. Are they trying to capitalize on shortages caused by the floods in Thailand? That seems a little short sited. Strange!

The Faculty of Nursing's Karen Benzies will continue her important work with families expecting or parenting an infant and experiencing periods of vulnerability, thanks to funding from the Government of Alberta.
The Honourable Manmeet Bhullar, minister of Alberta Human Services, announced at an event held at the Calgary Urban Projects Society (CUPS) on Thursday that Benzies' Welcome to Parenthood (W2P) project will receive $500,000 over two years. The initiative will connect vulnerable parents and parents-to-be with trained parent coaches and volunteer mentors in their community to help them learn positive parenting skills and manage stress.
W2P will be implemented and evaluated at four demonstration sites, selected because of their community readiness for social innovation and their access to one of Alberta's 46 Parent Link Centres.
"Our priority is to ensure that every child in Alberta starts life off on a firm footing," says Bhullar. "Some parents don't have natural supports, like close relationships with extended family, to help them navigate pregnancy and the first few months of parenting. This project will ensure that these parents have access to quality early childhood supports so they can provide their children the security they need to grow and thrive."
Benzies and her team of researchers have worked with CUPS One World Child Development Centre since its inception in 2002, developing, implementing and evaluating programs for high-risk children and their families.
"Our communities are stronger when we ensure that all families receive support when they bring home a new baby," she says. "W2P will provide supports so that all families have what they need to enable Alberta children to grow up healthy and strong." The project will include coaching and mentorship to provide information and guidance for new parents.
To engage parents, the project will offer a "baby basket" that will include basic supplies and books that support early childhood development.
"We are excited to see this next step in our enduring partnerships between the Faculty of Nursing and community agencies like CUPS," says Dianne Tapp, dean, Faculty of Nursing. "The significant results from Dr. Benzies' program of research are ongoing testament to the value and impact of community-university relationships."
This initiative supports Alberta's five-point plan to take action to support vulnerable families, improve the child intervention system and keep children healthy and safe.

A Tender Bender
Customer: "Do you have any chicken tenders?"
Me: "I have some cooking right now. They'll be out in just a couple minutes!"
Customer: "Okay, I'll wait."
(Once the tenders are done, I bring them out to see the same customer waiting. I place the tenders in the hot case.)
Customer: "Are those tenders fresh?"

Families were split up as three million children were given their rations and sent on trains out of the cities and, hopefully, to safety as the
Second World War began.
More than 2,000 packed St Paul's Cathedral in central London where they remembered the historic event.
The former evacuees, many now in their 70s and 80s, shared their experiences - both good and bad - with one another before and after the service.
TV presenter Michael Aspel attended wearing a brown paper label identifying him as an evacuee,
as did all those attending.
He was sent from his home in Wandsworth in south west London in 1940 at the age of seven to live with a couple called Cyril and Rose Grabham in Chard, Somerset.
He said that although he had a "good time" in the countryside, time felt as if it went slowly during his four-and-a-half years away from his family.
He said: "It was a fear that one was never going
to go home. There was no way of knowing when it was going to end."
The return to bomb-hit London also posed difficulties. "From freedom in the country it was a hell of a shock," he said.
Aspel praised the work of the Evacuees Reunion Association, which organised the service, and its campaign for a bronze memorial to be placed outside the cathedral in honour of evacuated children.
Of today's event, he described it as "completely positive" adding: "We all look at each other, these old geezers, and see ourselves as children."
A planned fly-past by a Lancaster bomber was cancelled due to the windy weather conditions.

"The things we as women know best," Norman has explained, "have not been perceived to be of critical value to society." The mother-daughter relationship is a "perfect example of that." At the play's outset, the middle-aged Jessie announces to her mother, Thelma, that she is going to kill herself. Norman has described the ninety minutes that follow as "the fight of their lives." Thelma exhorts, cajoles, and pleads with Jessie to abandon her plan. Jessie remains implacable. She feels trapped in the house she and Thelma share. Her husband has abandoned her; her son is a delinquent. She blames her epileptic fits for her failings as a wife and mother and for her inability to hold a job. She also blames the epilepsy—considered emblematic by critics of the plight as a woman in society—for rendering her unconscious and out of control, to be handled and observed by others.
Jessie has not felt in charge of her life, but she takes charge of her death. At the play's opening, she is collecting old pillows and towels to minimize the mess when she shoots herself. Such meticulousness indicates Jessie's need for control, and is ironic in view of the violence of the act she is planning.
Not until Norman heard an audience laugh at its dark humor during a reading of the play did she have confidence of its acceptance. Her husband at the time, Dann Byck, Jr., produced 'night, Mother for its Broadway run, the personal nature of the project causing Norman to want to keep it in the family. The play won four Tony nominations, including best play, and a Pulitzer Prize in 1983. A film version, scripted by Norman, appeared in 1986.
Critical discussion has focused on the issue of suicide in the play, but its feminism has also been debated. Some feminists condemn 'night, Mother for perpetuating the stereotype of the self-destructive woman. Others praise it for highlighting the struggle of women like Thelma to relinquish their hold on adult children. "We all lose our children," Norman, a mother of two, has remarked: "You think for a lifetime they belong to you, but they are only on loan." Regarding the violence in the play, Norman has commented that women "are not afraid to look under the bed, or to wash the sheets; we know that life is messy."
On Saturday night, while Mama hunts for her sweets, Jessie rummages for towels and garbage bags and searches the attic for her father's gun. Jessie tells Mama that she wants the gun for protection. Mama, convinced that there are no criminals near the out-of-the-way country house where they live, thinks Jessie is foolish. Jessie eventually tells Mama of her plan to commit suicide. At first Mama thinks that Jessie, an epileptic, is ill, but Jessie feels fine physically. Then Mama says that the gun is broken, but Jessie proves that it is in good condition. She had gotten bullets by tricking her brother Dawson into believing that she was watching out for prowlers. Desperate, Mama threatens to call Dawson, but Jessie still would shoot herself before he arrived. Mama suggests calling for the ambulance driver, whom Jessie likes. Jessie, however, insists that she wants the night alone with Mama.
Mama tries to convince Jessie that normal people do not commit suicide, but Jessie wants to die and escape to a place of quiet nothingness. Unable to convince Jessie that suicide is immoral, Mama tries to gain control by insisting that Jessie cannot commit suicide in Mama's house. Trying another tactic, Mama asks Jessie if she wants to stay around to see what she would get for her birthday. The presents turn out to be predictable and not what Jessie wants.
Jessie plans the whole evening and makes a list of things she wants to do. Mama thinks that Jessie might be trying to escape her family, but Jessie is not committing suicide simply to get away from Dawson, her meddlesome brother, or Ricky, her delinquent son with whom she is unable to communicate. Jessie admits that she does not like her life with Mama and that going to live with Mama after Cecil (Jessie's husband) left her was a mistake that both Mama and Jessie made. Jessie now feels hurt and used. Her life had come to a dead end. She had been contemplating suicide for about ten years but had started to plan it around Christmas, when she realized how empty her life was.
Mama grasps for reasons for Jessie to continue living. She suggests getting a dog, planting a garden, shopping...

Chapter Seven: A Stranger in the Dark
Jonrah was oblivious to his son's questions; still mesmorised by the symbols hidden in the trees, Jonrah tried to produce an explanation for the East's planned attack, but he found none.
Slowly, he brought himself to returning home with his son, who he only remembered when he looked around and saw him lying by a tree talking to himself about demons and how he would one day be a hero.
However, even as he took his son's hand, his mind was flooded by thoughts of attacks by foreign lands, devastating battles in which the king was slain and the kingdom burnt to the ground.
These dark thoughts continued until the pair had made it home, where Jodar proceeded to play with his rock as if nothing had happened.
Karlin had returned home, but was not downstairs, and so Jonrah sat silently, thinking deeply about the situation he found himself in and staring at his son and his toy, but letting his eyes glaze over to make him blind to all he saw.
Jonrah was the only person who knew the truth, and if he didn't try again to warn somebody, everybody would perish, and they'd have him to blame.
Reaching for a jacket, he found himself on his feet, eager to try once more and alert the authorities.
Before he knew what was happening, he had automatically headed out the door and into the centre of the city, where his seemingly seperate legs carried him not to the barracks of the Guard, but to the home of his friend.
Not Orlan this time, for he had been enough help already.
Instead, Jonrah found himself knocking on the door of Lorda, a member of the Guard, and his most trusted and dearest friend.
Although only twenty-seven years of age, he was an experienced fighter, and he had learned from the best. The best being Jonrah himself.
Although only nine years between them, Lorda had begun training at age nineteen, and had been trained by Jonrah the very year that he himself quit the Guard. Although he seldom believed that he wanted to be a part of the violence, he knew it was necessary for him to mentor new warriors every so often. Lorda had been his most successful student, and they had developed a fierce bond.
Lorda only took the night shift for the Guard, and due to his need for beauty sleep, he slept through most of his duty, preventing himself from becoming a nocturnal animal.
Without a word from either of them, Lorda opened the door, let Jonrah in and they both sat down next to a table holding cheese and crackers, which Jonrah - having missed both breakfast and now lunch - ravenously helped himself to.
After a short but in no way awkward silence, Lorda spoke.
'I was wondering when you'd come to visit.'
With a mounthful, Jonrah could barely be understood. He quickly swallowed, almost choking, and then answered.
'What do you mean?'
'I mean that Faldu told me all about your warning to the Guard. He kept stressing how insane it was.' At this point, Lorda intimidated Faldu's gruff voice. 'The East haven't attacked us in over one hundred years! Why would they start now?!' He smiled slightly, then returned to his own, smoother and softer voice, brushing a strand of silver hair from his face and rubbing his somewhat stubbled chin. 'He's right, you know. The East haven't attacked in more than a hundred years. But who's to say that they won't ever try?'
Feeling Lorda's faith in him rising, Jonrah fished the pieces of leather that he had found out of his pocket.
'Are these the markings?' Lorda asked as Jonrah placed them on the table. 'The lettering is definitely that of the East, but the symbol itself... I cannot be sure.'
'Orlan claimed that it was simply the Eastern Emblem.'
'Orlan is insane,' Lorda argued. 'He knows his stuff, but everybody can be wrong sometimes. I'm afraid I must disagree with him.'
'Well, what do you think it is?' Jonrah's hope was relighted, as now he hoped that the East were not marking them out for battle, and this was just a tragic misunderstanding. Some kid making a joke that had got the symbol wrong by mistake. Something ridiculous like that. They'd give him a hiding when they found him, but that would be the end of it.
Lorda had not answered his question, and instead took a piece of parchment from the table and a quill, and penned out the symbol in front of him, but with one additional line which joined the top left corner to the bottom left corner. As he saw it, Jonrah's memory clicked.
'That is the Eastern Emblem!' he declared excitedly. His joke theorem was becoming reality.
'It is. So what is the meaning of this symbol?' Lorda indicated the original leather, and Jonrah surrendered his joke theory.
Lorda seemed doubtful. 'It could be, but who would make such a twisted joke in this-'
He stopped talking abruptly, his gaze caught on something just beyond Jonrah.
Silence filled the room, and Jonrah dared not to look around, for fear of what he may see. Eventually, Lorda spoke.
'Don't act too quickly, but in the window behind you, there is a man.'
They both sat silently once more.
Jonrah was suddenly very afraid of this mystery man, but nevertheless, spun his head round to try to spot the stranger in the darkness outside.
As his head turned around, the man darted from the window, so that all Jonrah saw was a flailing black hood that followed the man's head.
Getting to his feet quickly, as did Lorda, they both ran to the door and flung it open, in the hope of spotting the spy running into the distance.
However, he was nowhere to be seen.
'What did he look like?' Jonrah asked.
'He was wearing a hood, probably a robe too. Black, and his face was hard to see, except for his mouth. Thin lips, bare.'
'Did you recognise him?' Jonrah queried.

Deep breath, andddd...Mature
I've deactivated my Facebook. It's a massive, pointless time-sink, and I'm in stupid, fake friendships (vast majority of them anyway) that operate completely on the pretense that we like each other. Which we don't. Being friends with people like David Nolan or Cushen, and Ian Ratchford is pointless, simply because we're not even friends, only people who barely tolerate each other in the classroom. Plus there's too many discrepancies, people are seeing things that I don't want them to see, and although I don't like keeping secrets everyone has them, and are entitled to keep them. It's developing a life of it's own, to the extent that I constantly need to feed it new information; status updates about what I'm doing, photos from nights or days out, and whatever else it'd need. I probably won't last long without it, I'll end up crawling back, looking like a complete and utter fool desperate to get a new fix and get back into the loop. I'm a social creature, never mind being naturally curious and generally nosy, so it'd be all the more harder. But I'm sure it's for the better; If I become more detached from the computer and the internet in general, equating to more time studying and better grades. I might actually become a better person because of it.
But then that's not the only thing that's on my mind:
I've seen all these talented and passionate writers posting really interesting and poignant excerpts and stories on Protag, and I can't help but feel so inadequate. It's like the only thing I feel I was even slightly good at has been taken away from me, leaving me with nothing. It was my only chance to leave my mark on the world but now I feel like that it's not possible. I see all these people do amazing things, like my friend Dylan, who painted that amazing mural on his new bedroom wall, full of colour and imagery, and I can't help but be jealous. Why can't I paint a masterpiece? Micheal Coughlan got all A's in his Junior Certificate (irish state examinations), and I'm sure that if I did my bit every night and actually did some studying, I would have gotten all A's. Is it chronic procrastination, something that's become a habit due to so many years of neglected responsibilities, or is it something else? Am I just making excuses for being lazy? Stephen O Brien can play piano, saxophone, and god knows how many other instruments, and he's just so generally intelligent, you could practically class him as a polymath, and what's stopping me from reaching that level of intelligence? I want to blame my parents for not recognizing my level of intelligence and nourishing it as I got older, giving me the same opportunities that S.O.B had, but that would be immature; they have their own lives, and during my childhood they had enough to deal with: Seperation/divorce, financial problems, raising two other (somewhat delinquent) children, among other things. All I want to do now if find this THING, whatever it is, and eliminate it.
But does it even exist?
Am I just putting problems in front of myself so I can shirk away from doing work and expending effort? Asking questions won't get me anywhere. Maybe I should organize a session with a psyche to get some of this stuff of my chest. I downloaded La Dispute's new album today. It's called Wildlife, and it's quite honestly....brilliant. Jordan Dreyer's vocals are much more restrained, but in a good way; he was way over-passionate on the previous album, to the extent that in parts he, as my good friend Declan so accurate (and funnily) put "sounds like he's being anally raped by a buzz saw" The reason I brought this up out of the blue is because on the new album, the band have a song called Harder Harmonies. I love the lyrics, I feel like I can relate to it with the whole "inadequacy" buzz. I feel like I'm out of sync with the rest of the world sometimes, everything else is passing by and I'm helpless to stop it, and no matter how much I try to change the world and make a mark it doesn't work out, it doesn't work, and eventually I'm just going to fade away into the background and become the same as everyone else in the crowd, every idea of individuality and expression and change gone.
"Like a shadow on a shadow, a phantom in a film strip,
Faint glimmer of the past trapped in mother's old slides,
Sits still in the apartment while sifting through some pictures
Of the child that he once was and the sense of hope they framed.
"It's a shame,"
And I fear that fate while the humming from the street keeps me awake,
He says, "I let life get twisted.
Get worn out, torn up, and late with the rent.
And now nothing makes sense except the bench and that piano,
A feeling nearing order when I'm pressing down the chords."
And he plays,
And it swells and breaks, but what'll it take to make my life sound like that.
And brings a fever, a dream of sweat and ecstasy.
A kiss on every hammer hit that follows as the keys fall down
And bring an order first, then chaos, then a calm,
That paints every shift in murals on the wall.
And it presses to your neck,
It clutches to your hips,
Softly sings to you of fireworks and God and art and sex and it's strange-
That it feels so right when nothing else does.
But all the while he's playing there's a humming
Coming up and through the window from outside.
And even he has to admit a certain melody in it, but then why can't he harmonize?
It's like the city's got it's own song but he can't play along.
He sees the notes as they fly by but always plays them wrong.
And in the bathroom it gets blurry, gets warm and distorted,
Like light pushed the orange of the pillbox he poured in his palm.
It falls to the floor, he smiles as it hits,
"Sounds a little like an instrument."
Like a voice in the choir, that hum and that drumbeat of life as an art-form
And fire through the streets that keep moving us in silence to phantom baton sweeps,
Keep tapping to the tempo of our feet.
And all the ones who seem to fit the best into the chorus never notice there's a song
And the ones who seem to hear it end up tortured by the chords when they fail to find
A way to sing along.
And when you sing the wrong thing it all starts collapsing.
Starts to ring out and feedback, starts lapsing and crashing, on notes that don't clash
But that never quite feel like they match.
And I never quite feel like mine match.
There's a melody in everything,
I'm trying to find a harmony but nothing seems to work,
Nothing seems to fit.
There's a melody in everything,
I'm trying to find a harmony but nothing seems to work,
Nothing seems to fit.
There's a melody in everything,
I'm trying to find a harmony but nothing seems to work,
Nothing fits"
I found out the word that describes how I feel lately: Wanderlust. According to thefreedictionary.com, wanderlust is "A very strong or irresistible impulse to travel". But is it that I'm feeling more wanting to escape where I am rather than wanting to explore. There's a difference, surely. Sometimes, when I'm walking home, I just want to walk in the opposite direction. And keep going. I want to get LOST. I want to go somewhere where I already haven't been, experience something new other than that which I already have. In a sense you could say I want to go on an adventure. How ridiculous. In times like these, where every inch of sea, sky and land is mapped by satellite technology, what chance does imagination and adventure have? In a world where everything has already been discovered, the concept of adventure is completely laughable. That's why I'm turning more and more to writing, as a form of escape from a world that I'm starting to resent more and more every day. I prefer to live in the world that I make in my head rather than the real world. I prefer to imagine a world where magic and mystery still exist in a sense rather than putting up with the same banal routine everyday. It's why I live with my headphones on my head, so I can drown out everything else and listen to music, something that helps formulate and inspire me to write. Maybe that is what is stopping me from reaching my full potential, of becoming self-actualized; the fact that I live in a fairy tale. Sylvia Plath's poem "The Times Are Tidy" comes to mind:
"Unlucky the hero born
In this province of the stuck record
Where the most watchful cooks go jobless
And the mayor's rotisserie turns
Round of its own accord.
There's no career in the venture
Of riding against the lizard,
Himself withered these latter-days
To leaf-size from lack of action:
History's beaten the hazard.
The last crone got burnt up
More than eight decades back
With the love-hot herb, the talking cat,
But the children are better for it,
The cow milks cream an inch thick"
The way I interpret it is that she's lamenting how heroes born in modern times never realize their potential (not to say that I think I am a hero) but she comments on how in today's terms, life is much more comfortable because of all the conveniences we have. And I appreciate them as well, but at the same time, I can't help but hate it.
I'm tired. I'm probably going to bed soon.

At the Division III matchup between Menio College and Whitworth University on Saturday, history will be made.
Not by the players -- at least we can't call that one this early -- but by the officials.
The NCAA announced Thursday that the matchup will be the first time that two female officials will work on the same officiating crew in a game involving an NCAA institution.
From the story on NCAA.org:
Catherine Conti will work as the head lineswoman and Mary Podesta will be the line judge during Saturday's Menlo-Whitworth game. Both are employed by the Northwest Intercollegiate Football Officials Association (NIFOA), which makes assignments for games involving the Division III Northwest Conference, the Division II Great Northwest Athletic Conference and Menlo, which is an independent from the NAIA.
"The NIFOA and the Northwest Conference are proud to be leaders in equality for all and will take another step toward that goal with Cat Conti and Mary Podesta working together as football officials for the Whitworth-Menlo game," said Mike Burton, longtime commissioner of the Northwest Intercollegiate Football Officials Association.
"Both Cat and Mary were hired after being evaluated in their high school and community college careers, and they were rated at the top in officiating ability. This first comes about due to their ability and skill. The NIFOA and Northwest Conference have some of the finest football officials in the country. As commissioner of the NIFOA I am proud to have them on my staff."

Great game. Reading required, but manageable for smaller children. My five year old loves it.
Game was a little Confusing at first for my 7 year old. Once she figured it out she finished it in about 3 days and has no interest in playing it again. I would suggest Mario or Kriby, they are much better games.
the time i bought this i was finished in 3 hours!I VERY dissapointed!i love the game but it is too short!
my grandaughters Loved it!
This game was too hard for my 5 year old grandaughter. She will grow into it, hopefully she will still be interested in Rapunzel by then.
I am disappointed it did not come with the carrying case it says it does. This game would be enjoyed by girls 7 and up. Simple mini games. Overall a fun game. However, it is not as bright as the movie. It appears dull in color. That came as a shock to me. The quality of the game isn't as good as I expected. Not worth the price especially without the carrying case.
My daughter loves this game it keeps her busy!!
She Is still unable to play harder then we hoped
Good condition, worked great.
no case
Not the best for a 5 year old that can barely read.

This company will not answert their phone, I enrolled with them for a 3month ad on their website, I was getting absolutely Nothing from the ad so I called them 2 months later and left a voicemail for them to cancel my subscription. This was after I emailed them and the email was returned and called several times.
They charged my account and the rate was 3times the introductory rate, and when I called this time I was able to reach someone. she said that I was supposed to send in a fax to confirm cancellation however there is nothing in their terms or conditions to tell you to do this.
So I sent a fax and asked for a refund, they told me that they would not refund but would keep my account active for another quarter......STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Victoria: Newcomer
Everyone was gone to bed now, except for me and Dalton. The living area was quiet and reeked of greasy pizza boxes.
"So, that went well," said Dalton, kicking one of the boxes aside so that he could prop his feet up on the low coffee table.
"It really did," I said, chewing my lip and thinking about the fact that there was a vampire in our dorm. Did that mean I was no longer the most dangerous of the roommates? The thought both comforted and scared me.
"Today was fun," Dalton suddenly remarked.
I smiled. "I had a good first day too. The University is just as I imagined it. And my Art Appreciation teacher, Mr. Taur, he really -"
"Victoria," he laughed in the semi darkness. I couldn't tell the colour of his hair, nor could I see the whites of his eyes. Maybe it would be okay if I took my sunglasses off now.
I slid them off silently.
"What I meant was..." He trailed off. "Never mind." He looked up, and I'm pretty sure he met my eyes. I was sure my heart was right there in my mouth, laying heavily on my tongue.
The door of the dorm opened.
We both looked over to see a shadowed figure wearing a hood very far over his face, standing in the doorway.
I let out a short scream, before Dalton gripped my arm comfortingly.
"I'm sorry," the newcomer murmured, closing the door. "I'm... sorry."
He rushed down the corridor, out of our sight. I guess the sight of the two of us alone, on the couch, in the dark, gave him a pretty strong message. My face was so hot...
"Latecomer," said Dalton.
I looked at his hand which was on my arm. I licked my lips and wondered what I should say. Damn, I had no idea.
"I think we should call it a night," he said.
I nodded instintively. "Yeah, we should."

A letter to my Beautiful Redeemer
A letter to my Beautiful Redeemer:
Lord, how can I even begin to tell you how helpless I've felt without You? I went even far enough to doubt Your existence and once the realization of what I'd been doing hit me, I felt like I'd never be loved by You again. But You forgave me, as You always do. How can You?
I've sinned. Once, twice, and so many times. Yet you accept me, like a Father with his arms out in front of Him, waiting to hug the child as she runs back to apologize. I think that's what makes us, humans, different from You. We are not this gracious. We are proud, selfish and vain.
But You...You're beautiful.
And You never give up on us.
I promise You that I will try to do the same. I know, once again, I shall falter and break this promise. But even if You accept me back as an unworthy servant, I will strive to please You.
I'm not worth the shot. But You love me.
And I I shall love You back unconditionally.
I will.

Most of us know how to calculate scope when it comes to anchoring, but is there a rule of thumb that equates a foot of chain to some length of nylon rode?
Mark Matthews responds:
Thanks for the question. To my knowledge, there isn't a set formula for equating the amount of line to chain in an anchor rode. Tom Wood, an anchoring expert, has written extensively about types of anchors, rodes, and anchoring techniques on this website. His counsel regarding how much chain you should have in a chain-and-rope anchor rode is not fixed because of the variety of factors involved (boat displacement, draft, surface conditions, etc.). And John Rousmaniere, the noted author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, recommends at least six to 10 feet of chain accompany every anchor rode (except of course those for dinghies and those that are all-chain), but that's a bare minimum for anything over 25 feet LOA. You could say that twice as much line as chain would keep you safe in almost any situation.
What most anchoring formulae tend to ignore, however, is that length of rode needed for the proper amount of scope should be calculated from the point at which the chain or rode leaves the bow, typically several feet above the water's surface. Tidal state is likewise important to factor, especially in areas of large tidal ranges. So when calculating the scope, consult the tide tables for your area and pay out accordingly. If you're just working off the sounded depth of the chart, keep in mind these are in mean lower, low water, so the water is likely to be getting deeper at some point during your stay. Use a depth sounder, or if you're lacking that, take soundings with a lead line.
Any anchoring system is only as strong as the sum of its parts, and as such care must be taken to ensure that all swivels, shackles, and other components are properly tightened, wire-tied, and in good working order. Snubbers are also recommended when using all-chain to keep shock loads to a minimum on the windlass, deck cleats, rollers, and fittings. Make sure you use nylon rode, which will stretch in a blow and leave life below a bit quieter when out on the hookthere's nothing worse than a grinding chain on a bow roller when you're trying to get to sleep. And if it really starts howling, consider using a sentinel, or a weight that can be paid down the length of rode or chain. This reduces the angle of the rode, increases the canterary, and gives a dramatic increase in holding power.
If you're using rode, you'll want to make sure any weight you send down the line won't give you chafing problems. I've had luck with a number of homegrown devices. We came across the head of a CQR that we attached to a retrieval line once, and sent it down the chain. Or you can check out something like the ABI Rode Rider.
For additional information, you can also check out a number of articles on the site concerning anchoring that we ran a while ago. Most were written by Tom Wood and Liza Copeland. Here's the link to the first one and you can take it from there: "Choosing Anchors, Rodes, and Windlasses".

Shipping By Common Carrier Freight or Truck Lines
Truck Shipping:
- Shipments requiring truck deliveries are due to the overall size of the item is too large or its weight is over 150lbs. They are normally delivered on a a large moving van or 18 wheeler.
- Any custom orders may be subjected to extra delivery charges due to the non-standard size of the skid. This charge will be confirmed by our shipping department and communicated with you within 2 working days prior to us shipping your order.
- Saturday deliveries will be charged an additional $250.
- Lift gate service is available for an additional charge of $150 and must be requested prior to delivery.
- If for any reason you cannot accommodate this size of truck on your street or property, (for example are you on a cul-de-sac, a one way street, narrow street or have obstructions, such as low power lines or overhanging trees) we will need to make alternative arrangements and that may result in extra charges.
- Extreme rural areas that are not easily accessible may be subject to extra freight charges
- On the day that product is delivered you may need extra people to help you unload your order. Hopefully the driver will help you but he/she is under no obligation to do so. It is your sole responsibility to unload your order.
- You may need to break down pallet orders and unload the individual boxes or items if needed.
- Actual delivery dates cannot be determined at the time of order. Delivery times are usually 3 days to 4 weeks depending on the delivery location and proximity to our warehouse.
- You will be notified of delivery by the carrier 1-2 days prior to delivery. You, or someone you appoint, must be in attendance at the delivery
- Please count of the number of boxes/items that were delivered and compare that with the delivery bill. Note any differences in quantities on the delivery bill BEFORE you sign. This will be helpful in getting the trucking companies to pay for missing items that may have fallen off during shipping.
- Make a note of any damages on the delivery bill BEFORE you sign
to accept delivery. This will be helpful in getting the trucking companies to
pay for damages that may occur during shipping.
NOTE: If you sign the delivery statement without noting any and all damages and/or missing items, we cannot, nor the shipping company, be held responsible for any lost or damaged items.
When we ship out our products, they are in new boxes with very little sign of wear other than normal warehouse wear. If there is more than one boxes, the shipment will be put on a pallet and will be wrapped in clear plastic shrink wrap.
If there is a large amount of damage (large holes in the boxes, contents spilling out, missing more than 10% of the boxes, etc.) please refuse delivery and contact us immediately. Damages by truck lines occur much more often than we would like and more than the truck lines will admit. We will ship you out a new shipment of your order and deal with the shipping company on the original shipment.

Does Learning-Centered Teaching Promote Grade Improvement?

When the grade distribution within a course shifts towards higher grades, it may be due to grade inflation or grade improvement. If the positive shift is accompanied by an increase in achievement or learning, it should be considered grade improvement, not grade inflation. Effective learning-centered teaching is designed to promote student learning due to increased responsibility for learning, engagement with course material, and opportunity for formative assessments prior to summative assessments of course learning outcomes, which leads to improved grades. We suggest ways that faculty members practicing learning-centered teaching can collect and analyze data to support increased learning and grade improvement.

To whom it may concern,
In the case of Amanda Trujillo, RN, a profoundly negative and chilling precedent threatens to silence nurses in their efforts to uphold their solemn oaths to protect, educate and advocate for their patients.
Additionally, a patient's Right to Know and Right to Self-Determination are directly in jeopardy.
National Nursing groups, Patients' Rights Advocacy groups, and the media have been put on alert and are watching this case carefully, hoping that the AZ BON makes the right choice to support the education and interventional activities of a nurse, who discovered a severe knowledge deficit in her patient and operated within her scope to rectify it.
It would be a shameful to set a precedent that re-defines our profession and the collaborative health care model that we thought we operated in for the good of our patients.
I respectfully request that you consider dropping the complaint filed against Amanda Trujillo's license and the case against her.
Best regards,
Anna Morrison, BA, BSN, RN, CLNC

Pretty Vacant
I had taken Vicki to the underground movie house once before, it really wasn't much her style, she liked going to the cineplex to see a romantic comedy with some overpaid actress with hair extensions. I got a kick out of vintage sci-fi movies with low budget effects and horror movies with plastic knives and ketchup.
"Okay, hand me the tacos," I ushered as we got out of the car, "Did you remember to get the extra spicy hot sauce?"
"If I forgot you'd probably kill me," Vicki laughed, handing over the large, grease-stained bag from El Burro.
"Why did we park so far away?" She asked.
"If anyone saw me getting out of a nice car like yours, my whole cool factor would be blown," I said rolling my eyes dramatically, "In fact, here, wear this." I dug through my bag, pulling out a vintage Cyndi Lauper concert tshirt and throwing it at her. She held it up to her cautiously.
"You're kidding," she said.
"Luke might consider throwing you out if you come in dressed like Malibu Barbie, grunge up," I said.
"Isn't Luke…" Vicki started.
"What?" I said.
"Nothing, nothing…" she said innocently. We made our way in through the front entrance. In daylight, the place was practically an obscurity, hidden away. But if you knew about it, and you showed up at night, you were in for a suprise. It was an old theatre, draped in red velvet interiors and it had a strange old book kind of smell that no amount of Febreeze could ever permeate.
"Hey Luke," I waved to the guy at the counter. He looked up from a copy of Mojo magazine and grinned.
"Mara, hey, I knew you'd come out sooner or later," he said as he brushed a few strands of bedhead out of his face and adjusted his horn rimmed glasses, "Cool Bahaus shirt."
"Oh, thanks," I smiled, "I brought you your favorite."
"El Burro?" His eyes lightened up.
"Only the best for my favorite Bowiephile," I said, handing him a bag.
"Hey," he said to both of us, "Tickets on the house tonight."
Vicki leaned in as we got our seats.
"He's so perfect for you."
I rolled my eyes at her. I hated it when she tried to be captain of my lovelife. Well, if it were a boat, since that's how I viewed it. A rolling ship on a tidal wave to doom.
Vicki looked horrified throughout the majority of the film. During the scene with the killer dolls, she managed to knock the bottle of Dr. Pepper out of the hands of the poor guy brave enough to sit next to us. Fortunately, Vicki broke its fall, splattering Dr. Pepper all over her lap. I laughed uncontrollably, and covered my mouth to hide the laughter.
When the movie was finished, a sticky and sopping we Vicky trudged her way back to the ticket counter.
"What on earth..." Luke trailed off as he got a good look at Vicki.
"Vicki messed herself. I guess Barbarella was just too much for the poor girl," I smirked as she stood there glaring at me.
"I spilled some guy's soda," she explained.
"Yeah, yeah, excuses excuses," I continued. She roller her eyes and scrunched her nose, a clue for me to shut up.
"Is there a bathroom in here?" Vicki asked, trying to wipe the soda off her dress. Luke pointed to a beaded door off to the left and Vicki dissapeared.
"Wow, Mara, your friend is hot," Luke gushed, "You think she'd be interested?"
"No," I glared at him. Vicki struggled her way out of the bead door, I followed after her and headed for the door.
"What's wrong?" Vicki asked as we stood outside.
"I'm pretty much over the fact that every guy likes you better than me," I said.
"What?" Vicki asked confused.
"Luke," was all I could say.
"Luke too?" Vicki gasped, "I mean…"
"No, Vick, its okay. You can't help that you're so attractive to guys. You've got that whole Marilyn Monroe vibe just emanating from your every pore. Me? I'm just that chick who obsesses over comic books and horror films and says really snotty things to everyone," I said.
"I think I'll just stick to being madly in love with Tom Waits, and if no other prospects come along," I said, "I'll just buy some cats."

Ripoff Report
Nationwide Reader Service3438 Walden Avenue Depew, New York United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was scammed by Nationwide Services as a soldier in the US Army back in 1996. I fought with them for years over their skating-on-illegal contract, and in 2001 they decided to call my mother (who lives on the other side of the country), and told her that if she didn't call me to tell me that Nationwide Services wanted to talk to me (she wouldn't give them my info), that there would be a warrant put out for my arrest at 8:00 PM that night. In 20-20 hindsight, I realize NOW that that there was no way whatsoever that they could have had me arrested, and they have been absolutely NAILED legally, as well as scads of complaints all over the internet.
However, I was a young and stupid, and responded to their threats with tears, fear, and wiring over $600 to them to get them off my back. When I called again, telling them that they now had about 5 years of back issues that they'd better start sending, some shrill biddy told me "My lawyer says I don't hafta". Yes, she said "hafta". Please also be warned that if you call, they will call you back, asking who you are and why you're calling. The person who tried to clown me over the phone that way is no longer working, and is frankly lucky that he's still breathing. Oh yes, there was also a "man", I use that term loosely, named Andrew (Flumen?) who likes to put people on speakerphone when he's getting read the riot act, because he and the rest of the untrained monkeys in that office can't get their rocks off any other way, I guess.
In closing, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT EVER sign up with Nationwide Services, do NOT accept any kind of contract or magazine subscription from them.
