About two(?) winters ago, there was a fleece scarf pattern making the rounds here. You used three different selections of fleece to make it. Anyone remember? Got the pattern? I discovered I have three different selections of fleece still waiting for me to make that scarf. With as cold as this winter is so far, it might be time. Would appreciate any help. | |||
Does the word, 'cuddly', ring a bell? I have a template for the 'cuddly scarf' and was wondering if they went together. Nooooo, did not copy anything else past the curved template. | ||||
Was it a no-sew scarf? Here is one that I found. http://roseprairiequilts.blogs...ew-fleece-scarf.html Michelle | ||||
There was one scarf that you stack fleece together and sew a line down the center and then cut from the outer edge towards the sew line.You would do these about an inch apart all the way down both sides. I've been making one where you use 1/2 yard of fleece...WOF...cut off selvedges. You fold it in half (WOF), right sides together and start sewing 4 inches from the end and sew it until you get 4 inches from the other end. Flip it back to the right side, top stitch down the side to where you stopped stitching on the inside,sewing across the fleece to close the ends. The extra fleece on the ends, you would use the scissors and cut strips about 1/4" wide to almost the stitch line. When you have those cut, pull each one and they will curl up. Men like these too. | ||||

April is National Poetry Month. And in honor of this upcoming tradition, I give you:
Your dishes are piled like skyscrapers.
Your sink makes strangers step back.
Rather than bubbles you're content with troubles
From the housekeeping skills that you lack.
Your dust bunnies corral under couches
Creating powdery white filth and light grime.
It's not your quirk to go completely berserk
Because dirt in your home's not a crime.
Your bath wears mold like a parka,
Housing microbes you could never outswim.
Your toilet is frightening; your sink could use brightening.
Your germs sing their own national hymn.
You've owned a Bissell, a Dyson and Hoover
Though your vacuum now hides in the closet.
You once screamed "Oh heck," when your cherished Oreck
Exploded in a cloudy deposit.
Your recycling and garbage are ever growing.
Your refuse overfills each wastebasket.
You'd rather grow bitter than make room for your litter
Or consider to organize, sort, bundle or mask it.
Your laundry's never sorted by colors.
Your whites are often light-pink.
You're nothing but smiles while you're clothes sit in piles
And your dainties linger under your sink.
Your gauchos, white sandals and nude nylons,
Lost scungies, tube socks and shoulder pads,
Your hangers scamper while you dig through your hamper
'Cause your closet's filled with dated doodads.
Your grooming skills are not quite polished.
The wrinkles you wear leave you rancorous.
Your trousers are rumpled and your shirt's clearly crumpled
Some might say that you're ironing-cantankerous.
Your stove-top is covered with drippings
From the dinner you made yesterday.
Your spilled coffee has thickened, the rest leaves you sickened
Your home is a worrisome display.
Your coat is hung from a doorknob.
Your wet towel's strewn on your bed.
You're a cleaning sinner who trips over last night's dinner
While you imagine a tidier home in your head.
While cleaning isn't for all,
It's a necessary task in each home.
Tidy up logically while cleaning ecologically,
And end your piggish syndrome.
Consider the words of this clean freak.
Even though I can rant on and on.
Though I assert you needn't convert
'Cause with effort your mess will be gone.
Enter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 59When Kit, having discharged his errand, came down-stairs from the single gentleman's apartment after the lapse of a quarter of an hour or so, Mr Sampson Brass was alone in the office. He was not singing as usual, nor was he seated at his desk. The open door showed him standing before the fire with his back towards it, and looking so very strange that Kit supposed he must have been suddenly taken ill. 'Is anything the matter, sir?' said Kit. 'Matter!' cried Brass. 'No. Why anything the matter?' 'You are so very pale,' said Kit, 'that I should hardly have known you.' 'Pooh pooh! mere fancy,' cried Brass, stooping to throw up the cinders. 'Never better, Kit, never better in all my life. Merry too. Ha ha! How's our friend above-stairs, eh?' 'A great deal better,' said Kit. 'I'm glad to hear it,' rejoined Brass; 'thankful, I may say. An excellent gentleman--worthy, liberal, generous, gives very little trouble--an admirable lodger. Ha ha! Mr Garland--he's well I hope, Kit--and the pony--my friend, my particular friend you know. Ha ha!' Kit gave a satisfactory account of all the little household at Abel Cottage. Mr Brass, who seemed remarkably inattentive and impatient, mounted on his stool, and beckoning him to come nearer, took him by the button-hole. 'I have been thinking, Kit,' said the lawyer, 'that I could throw some little emoluments in your mother's way--You have a mother, I think? If I recollect right, you told me--' 'Oh yes, Sir, yes certainly.' 'A widow, I think? an industrious widow?' 'A harder-working woman or a better mother never lived, Sir.' 'Ah!' cried Brass. 'That's affecting, truly affecting. A poor widow struggling to maintain her orphans in decency and comfort, is a delicious picture of human goodness.--Put down your hat, Kit.'

(Boring) lenses coming from Sigma for NEX. And a new Alpha mount lens.
Sigma is about to launch two new unspectacular lenses for the NEX system. The 19mm f/2.8 lens which at least from the size point of view is less interesting than the Sony 16mm f/2.8 pancake lens. And the 30mm macro lens which isn't really a lens we needed since we already have the Sony 30mm f/3.5 lens. Damn Sigma, you should have done it better! You alreayd amke some awesome lens for Alpha mount! Like that nice 50mm f/1.5 for example. Next time ask SAR readers what they want
Here is the press release text:
Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN: Sigma's new 19mm f/2.8 EX DN has the effective FOV of a 38mm lens on a full-frame DSLR, which should appeal to street photographers and photojournalists. Regardless of your choice of camera, the Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN features eight elements in six groups that include three aspheric lens surfaces to correct optical distortions, color aberration and unwanted field curvature. The new lens also sports an internal focusing system and Super Multi-layer coating to reduce flare and ghosting while maintaining high contrast levels even when set at wider apertures. Other features include a new linear AF motor that eliminates mechanical gears or drives for quicker, near-silent focusing, seven rounded diaphragm blades for an attractive blur in out-of-focus areas, a 46mm filter thread, and a minimum focusing distance of 7.9″ (20cm).
Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN: Extending a mere 1.5″ (38.6mm) from the front of the camera is Sigma's new 30mm f/2.8 EX DN. This lens has a full-frame equivalent FOV of a 60mm lens when used on a NEX format mirrorless camera. The new Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN features seven elements in five groups including dual aspheric lenses and a double-sided aspheric lens that help control edge sharpness and chromatic aberration. As with Sigma's new 19mm f/2.8 EX DN lens, the new 30mm f/2.8 EX DN lens includes Sigma's newly developed linear AF system for smoother and quieter operation, Super Multi-Layer coating for optimized contrast levels and reduced flare, a 46mm filter thread, internal focusing and a minimum focusing distance of 11.8″ (30cm).
And than there is that new Sigma's APO Macro 180mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM lens. It is the fastest 180mm macro lens on the market today, by about a half a stop. But the specialness of Sigma's new high-speed macro goes beyond its f/2.8 maximum aperture.
Press release:
Shooting close-ups can be tricky, most notably when trying to capture life-size close-ups of skittish animals and insects without spooking them, or close-ups of small objects without casting your shadow on your subject. The longer focal length of Sigma's 180mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM does away with many of these issues by allowing you to step back from your subject. The longer focal length also reduces optical distortions, which can be problematic when shooting close-ups, and also allows you isolate your subject from distracting foreground and background details, especially when used at its closest focusing points at wider apertures.
In addition to highly detailed life-size (1:1) image capture, Sigma's 180mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM features three FLD glass elements, a floating internal focusing system, Super Multi-Layer coating, Sigma's OS image stabilizing system, which enables the use of shutter speeds approximately four stops less than usually possible when shooting handheld, Hyper-Sonic AF focusing motors and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for attractive bokeh.
19mm and 30mm isn't that bad for NEX. It's not pancakes lenses, but they are at least fairly compact primes. Both 27/28mm and 45mm equivalent are fairly popular focal lengths, much more suited for NEX than for mFT that already have better speced lenses with similar focal lenghts.
Actually, the 19mm is a viable offer for NEX. Look at the place of various 28/2.8 in full frame systems like Leica. If the edge sharpness is good, the lens would make a darn good wide street shooting option
The press release says 19mm is 38mm = meaning they are talking about a 2x crop = so the release seems to be about 4/3 not nex ?
They create the same lens for both systems, m4/3 and NEX. But by specifying the intended equivalent focal length in the press release shows where their priority lies .
Well either they are going to have very dark corners on e-mount or they are way oversized for 4/3. Very odd decision since Sigma already make DC lenses for 1.5x crop. I assume they've done this because of the rear element to sensor distance being similar between 4/3 and E-mount.
I have owned Sigma glass before – didn't like the colours and quality control is poor, and they seemed too heavy for what they are. These lenses seem to be about right though.
The 30mm isn't macro but the new focus motor sounds promising. Maybe the 19 will be decent ?
People here have been asking for e-mount primes and now here is one that wasn't available before – a 28mm eq. Yet people are complaining. It says a lot about SAR eh ?
Or maybe people were expecting something more distance from the already existing lenses, such as a portrait 85 or 105 mm equivalent, or a good 105mm macro equivalent, etc. Or a nice super-wide-angle zoom (à la 8-16). Well, something different in a very lacking system…
I don't really agree with that they are boring. Those lenses are also released in the M43 mount but they make much more sense for the NEX system. The 19mm might be bulkier than the Sony pancake but the IQ should be much better, and 28mm eq FOV is more usefull for street photography for instance. From the press release, nothing indicated that the 30mm 2.8 is not a macro lens so It should focus much faster than the Sony, and should be a great general purpose lens. Off course pricing will also be key, If they're expensive than yes It will be a sigma fail, but if priced right, it will be more pressure on Sony to quickly release those long awaited fast primes!
+1 It's not just the focal length, but the quality of the glass, and the 16mm, while better than some other lenses I've used at that range, still isn't exactly pristine.
Oh for Christ's sake!
What's happening in their brains? 2,8 aperture? Do I really have to go out and buy Samsung NX20 and 30 f/2? Or that new Fuji with 35 f/1,4 lens?
These two Sigma's are not even pancakes! If they are not fast, why aren't they at least pancakes like 16/2,8?
Most of Samsung lenses don't have really good quality.
The new Fuji 35mm 1,4 is not at all a pancake.
Really strange this obcession about pancakes… Impossible to obtain a large aperture with pancakes. Moreover, OS and AF in a lens make it bigger. Then we have to choose.-
You got it wrong. We want either fast lenses (OK to be big because of aperture), or f/2,8 pancakes. These Sigma's are neither. Big and slow.
I used Samsung 30mm for several days (friend has it on NX10) and it's fine by me. Especially for the price.
"You got it wrong. We want either fast lenses (OK to be big because of aperture), or f/2,8 pancakes. These Sigma's are neither. Big and slow."
this +1+1+1
They don't look that big to me
SAR is so contradictory.. people keep whining about pancakes, but also whining about the 16mm pancake having bad IQ, and then whining when excellent lenses (like the 24/1.8) are too big
No pleasing you people
I'd just be grateful that 3rd party manufacturers are showing interest at all
Yes, the press release seems to be about 4/3.
Now, these lenses could be interesting for 28mm (FF) users. As for the 30mm, which is closer to the true standart than the 35mm (too long for me), we need to know what is its quality. Rob made good shot with the 30mm, which revealed the weaknesses of this Sony lens. Need to wait for some tests…
I agree — the lenses don't look that big. Both focal lengths look interesting, although I'd prefer a 24mm. Oh well. f2.8 is OK as long as the price is reasonably low.
You realize that 16/f2.8 is nothing to write home about and Sigma 30/f2.8 is definetly faster (and ergo more usefull) than 30/f3.5, right?
Im not fan of Sigma, I dont even like them, but I wouldnt bash them for trying.. they have good chance to produce better lens for NEX than Sony (which really shouldnt be hard).
Im curious how good or bad those lens will be.
The 19mm FL is actually much better for a walkaround lens than a 16mm – much more 'normal' perspective. Add here the limitations present in Sony's 16mm, and this 19mm looks like a winner. That's if it really delivers as the 'EX' label promises.
Very interesting lenses from Sigma. If there has earlier been a 19mm lens, I would have already bought Nex 5N.
Sigma 180mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM is a dream macro lens at least for me. I have Minolta 100/2.8 Macro and Zeiss 135/1.8 and that Sigma 180mm Macro would be ideal addition to those. Earlier I had Minolta 200mm 2.8 APO but with Sony A77 that lens AF didn't work propertly, so i sold it to a A900 user. I hope that they leave OS to Sony version.
Kinda "eh" methinks. I won't go out of limb to buy any of these mirrorless lenses if they are out in E mount – I have a kit lens for these FLs and 30mm is way too short to be a useful macro lens. What the heck were they thinking.
And Sigma planning to release a 18-200 of their own? Good Heavens.
Any idea how much these will cost?
We need Sigma to offer something different – like a 18-100mm F2.8-F4 or 16-70 zoom to provide something not already on offer from Sony or Tamron. An "EX" Sigma with a decent range but sacrificing some reach for quality. These two lenses are of no interest to me – I already have the Sony 30mm Macro and the 16mm pancake and 24mm Zeiss.
Sigma Lenses for NEX and m4/3rds = DOA (Dead On Announcement).
The 19mm wouldn't be too bad of an idea, I wouldn't pay much for it ..
But why don't they make a highly usable lens first?
Like .. and I'll say it again .. An F2.8 zoom with OSS!!And yes, it would be great to have that 30mm 1.4 in Nex size/mount.
or the Tamron 60mm macro: F2 is plenty fast already. -
You want pancakes, but don't want to take the quality penalty, you want fast lenses, but can't take the size penalty, you get middle sizes, middle aperature lenses and find them boring. You guys are strange.
I want the moon, but I don't want calypso… Its got a funny shape.
Why boring? The 19 is an odd little thing, but the 30 looks very interesting. Why? The 30 Sigma is MUCH smaller (1.5 inches) than the Sony version. It is not a pancake, but is is very compact. Measure the depth of the 16/2.8 and compare to 1.5 inches. For superficial reasons, I prefer the Sigma black over Sony's silver. Matches my 5n much better.
I hope it is priced similarly as the Sony version.
Yeah exactly
19mm is a decent focal length on crop sensor
And the 30 looks smaller than Sony, but also black
I know you said that Sigma said the 30mm lens is a macro…but sigma always but a "macro" description if they can (and even too often) and this lens has a MFD of 30cm?
I still don't believe it's a macro
sadly i dont know how 2 do the math but
30mm 1:1 – 13cm.
28mm 1:2.9 – 20cm
30mm 1:10.4 – 40cm
(a 1:2 100mm is 44cm – 1:1 100mm is 30cm)so this lens is a 30mm – 30cm so thats a 1:4??? and the sigma 20mm has a 20cm min focus so i think thats a good guess, but I truly have no idea…
Where are those primes like 35/2 or 50/1.2? Where rokkors? Where beercans? All their attention on body's but neither on lens. It's really disappointing to know that Sony has all the licensies from minolta's golden years and not using them past 6 years and to have Zeiss like strategic partner and then release only 5 lens. Sony must to understand that good body is nothing without good glass. For nex you of course could use almost anything you wish. For a-mount there are a lot of empty slots in equipment.
The Sony 16mm is an underwhelming lens, so it's entirely possible that the Sigma will better it. Well, assuming you don't lose out on Sigma's quality control lottery.
I'd rather Sigma release Sony mounts for lenses that have already been released such as the 120-300 mm f2.8. It was first announced as a Sony mount and then removed–past two years I've had Sigma personnel tell me at PhotoPlus the Sony mount would happen "next month"…
I have been waiting for this 120-300 for a while, and finally decided to get the latest OS HSM Canon version (unfortunately). Let me tell you this is a spectacular lens, so sharp, so quick that I sold two of my best Sony zoom lenses for it (70-200g and 70-400g). If anyone is in sports/wildlife shooting, this is the only lens you need, because of its superb optical quality, fantastic OS, and zoom. Sigma really should make Sony version.
I think the macro is 150mm not 180mm
They do have a 180 on their home page now, but no mention of mounts other than Sigma mount.
Might be nice–no way I can afford a used Minolta 200/4 anymore!
Hey, you're right. But it wasn't there when I looked earlier. This really was a scoop. Usually DP Review lists these things as soon as they're announced. Kudos to SAR.
Actually a 2.8 180mm lens is quite an expensive item. It'll be interesting to see what this baby retails for. I'm guessing $1800.
As mentions before, the Sigma 30 is smaller than the Sony 30. At 1.5 inches versus 2.44 inches of the Sony. That is about 40% shorter. -/+
Not to mention a half stop faster. Why is everyone whining. At the end of the day, it comes down to more choices for this NEX system.
I agree that these two lenses very probably will not deserve to be called the century's greatest achievement in optical technology.
But, on the other hand, every new lens option is a good option. And both lenses, if sensibly priced, will add a little bit to the existing E-Mount lineup.
While not really 'fast' in itself, the 30mm Macro does offer half a stop more aperture than the Sony pendant, making it more attractive as long as the price will be similar or lower – which might be well be within possibilities.
And the 19mm, although not really 'fast' either, is the first 27-28mm equivalent prime lens for E-Mount. And if Sigma have done their homework, the lens could offer decent image quality at a substantially lower price than other options, whatever there is available for Leica M-Mount, designed for 35mm, expensive but still with a tendency for problematic corner rendition on digital sensors.
Still waiting for a 85mm f1.4/f1.8. My guess is that I'll still be waiting two years fro now. I'd love a Zeiss 85mm to go with the Zeiss 24mm!
Damn, a Sigma 16-50mm f2.8 constant aperture lens with good stabilization would have sold like hotcakes!
Sombody's gotta make that lens eventually.
Sounds large though
Consider that the new A-mount lens is a 16-50/2.8 for APS-C sensors.. it's not exactly NEX-sized
I'm surprised nobody made a 35/1.8 that is small, or a 35/1.4 a bit larger (like the sigma 30/1.4)
I'd be using it on a NEX VG20 and a possible future FS100. So, an A mount sized lens won't bother me.
f/2.8 Sigma is definitely better than Sony's f/3.5.
Sony's is a macro lens (however useless a 30mm macro might seem). Sigma's is not, not by a long shot.
All I need in my lens collection is a wide angle. I really want the 16mm because of it's compactness. Not sure if I'm willing to sacrifice size for quality with Sigma's 19mm. Hmmm…we shall see.
not more boring than the E mount ones made by sony..with the zeiss 35 exception…sigma could release a 35mm eq more compact than the zeiss….huge for the nex size….
I guess Sigma A-mount lenses are and option for some, but…
I've had bad experiences with Sigma quality, and sent them back to the good folks at B&H twice over the years and in less something changes I won't even consider purchasing one.
And others write about issues with Sigma on new or future A-mount products released by Sony so why would I waste my time just to save a few dollars…………life is too short! -
Look; is it conceivable that the reason nobody including Sony makes lenses for NEX as small as many here want it because it can't be done, or if it can be done is it at a price affordable?
I've read posts by people than understand both optics and physics better than I write about architecture issues.
For about a year now, lens manufactures like Sony and Sigma release products that get panned by people complaining of the large size and I agree.
Someone please explain why lenses are so big and getting bigger?I have several lenses from my mid 80' Minolta film cameras that are tiny in comparison and rarely require filters bigger than 49 or 55 mm.
What has changed?-
Autofocus capabilities…
If what your saying is that the reason todays lenses are bigger than lenses made for my old Minolta 9000 is autofocus I must not worded my post properly.
Minolta in 1985 was one of if not the first major manufactor to incorporate autofocus and did so it the Minolta 7000 and the professional model 9000 in 1985.
The famous beercans (35-70 & 70-210) are just two of the many lenses of the time that did have autofocus and by today's standards very small.I can't help but to laugh seeing my old 35-70/f4.0 lens next to my CZ 24-70/f2.8.
Granted there are big differences between a f2/8 and a f4.0 lens but still……
I question my are lens getting bigger and not smaller like everything else?
First players to make excellent IQ 10mm f2.8, 20mm f2, 30mm f1.4, 45mm f1.0, 60mm f1.2, 90mm f2.0…
They will all be massive and cost a fortune
60mm 1.2.. rofl
David, the silver lens, second from right is a 60mm f1.2 Konica M39 mount. You can put this on your NEX with adapter.
And here is the entire PEN FT lens lineup ready for your NEX right now, complete with 42mm f1.2 and 60mm f1.5.
New lenses are never boring. It keeps the competition alive, and that is never a bad thing.
I've got the Sigma 50mm f1.4 for use on my A700 and it is, indeed a very nice lens. However, it's huge (for a 50mm), with a 77mm filter, and anything similarly designed would dwarf an NEX. No doubt a cropped-format version for an APS-C sensor could be made more compact, but I wonder how much market there would be for what will be a fairly large lens on a small body. Also the 50mm f1.4 is not stabilised.
Possibly the best hope for Sigma producing more short-register compact lenses is that the same optical designs can probably be used on several mirrorless mounts (Fujifilm, m4/3, NEX, NX) so the considerable costs of developing such optics can be shared over several lens mounts.
I actualy like the new sigma lenses for nex the 16mm from Sony is soft through out the frame, the Sony 30mm is a macro lens and that's all it's good for! So in excited to see the performance out of these little guys.
Mike Kobal said he really liked using the 30mm and not for macro. So, I think, that is not all it is good for.
"I really liked the 30mm macro as a standard lens, very high resolution, no distortions, no AF hunting and virtually silent. It also helped maintaining a comfortable distance to my subjects."
Is there any hint as to the prices of these Sigma lenses?
I dont think it is possible for these comments to have been posted 2 years ago.

Hundreds celebrate birth of Church
4:40pm Saturday 26th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
More than 1,000 people have celebrated the birth of the Christian Church with the Archbishop of York in one of the north of England's best known landmarks.
The Archbishop, Dr John Sentamu, was joined by the Bishop of Whitby, the Rt Rev Dr Martin Warner, for the Pentecost service in the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
It is believed to be the first time an archbishop and a bishop have jointly hosted a service at the abbey since its destruction in The Reformation.
Whitby Abbey is perched on a hill looking over the North Yorkshire seaside town and features on countless tourist images of the region.
The archbishop arrived in the harbour below in the RNLI Trent-class lifeboat, George and Mary Webb.
He was then joined by representatives from Cleveland churches for a walk up the 199 steps from the quayside to the abbey.
Many carried banners specially made for the service.
Hundreds of people who gathered for the special service in the abbey ruins were also entertained with music and art and crafts workshops.

Tibia | |
Position of tibia (shown in red) | |
Cross section of the leg showing the different compartments (latin terminology) | |
Latin | (os) tibia |
Gray's | subject #61 256 |
Articulations | Knee, ankle, superior and inferior tibiofibular joint |
MeSH | Tibia |
The tibia /ˈtɪbiə/ (plural tibiae /ˈtɪbii/ or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula), and it connects the knee with the ankle bones. The tibia is found next to the fibula on the medial side of the leg, closer to centre-line. The tibia is connected to the fibula by an interosseous membrane, forming a type of joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement. The tibia is named for the Greek aulos flute, also known as a tibia. It is commonly recognized as the strongest weightbearing bone of the body.[citation needed]
In humans[edit]
In human anatomy the tibia is the second largest bone next to the femur. As in other vertebrates the tibia is one of two bones in the lower leg, the other being the fibula, and is a component of the knee and ankle joints. The tibia derives its arterial blood supply from two sources: A nutrient artery, as the main source, and periosteal vessels derived from the anterior tibial artery.[1] The ossification or formation of the bone starts from three centers; one in the shaft and one in each extremity.
The tibia is categorized as a long bone and is as such composed of a diaphysis and two epiphyses. The diaphysis is the midsection of the tibia also known as shaft or body. While the epiphyses are the two rounded extremities of the bone; an upper (also known as superior or proximal) closest to the thigh and a lower (also known as inferior or distal) closest to the foot. The tibia is most contracted in the lower third and the distal extremity is smaller than the proximal.
The proximal or upper extremity of the tibia is expanded in the transverse plane with a medial and lateral condyle, which are both flattened in the horizontal plane. The medial condyle is the largest of the two and is better supported over the shaft. The upper surfaces of the condyles articulates with the femur to form the tibiofemoral joint, the weightbearing part of the kneejoint.[2] The medial and lateral condyle are separated by the intercondylar area, where the cruciate ligaments and the menisci attaches. Here the medial and lateral intercondylar tubercle forms the intercondylar eminence. Together with the medial and lateral condyle the intercondylar region forms the tibial plateau, which both articulates with and is anchored to the lower extremity of the femur. The intercondylar eminence divides the intercondylar area into an anterior and posterior part. The anterolateral region of the anterior intercondylar area are perforated by numerous small openings for nutrient arteries.[2] The articular surfaces of both condyles are concave, particularly centrally. The flatter outer margins are in contact with the menisci. The medial condyles superior surface is oval in form and extends laterally onto the side of medial intercondylar tubercle. The lateral condyles superior surface is more circular in form and its medial edge extends onto the side of the lateral intercondylar tubercle. The posterior surface of the medial condyle bears a horizontal groove for part of the attachment of the semimembranosus muscle, whereas the lateral condyle has a circular facet for articulation with the head of fibula.[2] Beneath the condyles is the tibial tuberosity which serves for attachment of the patellar ligament, a continuation of the quadriceps femoris muscle.[2]
The shaft or body of the tibia is triangulate in cross-section and forms three borders: An anterior, medial and lateral or interosseous border. These three borders form three surfaces; the medial, lateral and posterior.[3] The forward flat part of the tibia is called the fibia, often confused with the fibula.[citation needed]
The lower extremity of the tibia is much smaller than the upper extremity and presents five surfaces; it is prolonged downward on its medial side as a strong process, the medial malleolus. The lower extremity of the tibia together with the fibula and talus forms the ankle joint.
The tibia has been modeled as taking an axial force during walking that is up to 4.7 bodyweight. Its bending moment in the sagittal plane in the late stance phase is up to 71.6 bodyweight times millimetre.[4]
Sex differences[edit]
In the male, its direction is vertical, and parallel with the bone of the opposite side. In the female, it has a slightly oblique direction downward and laterally, to compensate for the greater obliqueness of the femur. Studies are inconclusive, however.[citation needed]
The tibia is a part of four joints; the knee, ankle, superior and inferior tibiofibular joint.
In the knee the tibia forms one of the two articulations with the femur, often referred to as the tibiofemoral components of the knee joint.[5][6] This is the weightbearing part of the knee joint.[3] The tibiofibular joints are the articulations between the tibia and fibula which allows very little movement.[citation needed] The proximal tibiofibular joint is a small plane joint. The joint is formed between the undersurface of the lateral tibial condyle and the head of fibula. The joint capsule is reinforced by anterior and posterior ligament of the head of the fibula.[3] The distal tibiofibular joint (tibiofibular syndesmosis) is formed by the rough, convex surface of the medial side of the distal end of the fibula, and a rough concave surface on the lateral side of the tibia.[3] The part of the ankle joint known as the talocrural joint, is a synovial hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in the lower limb with the proximal end of the talus.[7] The articulation between the tibia and the talus bears more weight than between the smaller fibula and the talus.[citation needed]
Muscle attachments[edit]
Muscle | Direction | Attachment[8] |
Tensor fasciae latae muscle | Insertion | Gerdy's tubercle |
Quadriceps femoris muscle | Insertion | Tuberosity of the tibia |
Sartorius muscle | Insertion | Pes anserinus |
Gracilis muscle | Insertion | Pes anserinus |
Semitendinosus muscle | Insertion | Pes anserinus |
Horizontal head of the semimembranosus muscle | Insertion | Medial condyle |
Popliteus muscle | Insertion | Posterior side of the tibia over the soleal line |
Tibialis anterior muscle | Origin | Lateral side of the tibia |
Extensor digitorum longus muscle | Origin | Lateral condyle |
Soleus muscle | Origin | Posterior side of the tibia under the soleal line |
Flexor digitorum longus muscle | Origin | Posterior side of the tibia under the soleal line |
Fractures of the tibia can be divided into those that only involve the tibia; Bumper fracture, Segond fracture, Gosselin fracture, Toddler's fracture, and those including both the tibia and fibula; Trimalleolar fracture, Bimalleolar fracture, Pott's fracture.
In other animals[edit]
The structure of the tibia in most other tetrapods is essentially similar to that in humans. The tuberosity of the tibia, a crest to which the patellar ligament attaches in mammals, is instead the point for the tendon of the quadriceps muscle in reptiles, birds, and amphibians, which have no patella.[9]
In culture[edit]
In Judaism, the tibia, or shankbone, of a goat is used in the Seder Plate.

DefShop is Hip Hop & Streetwear
You're curvy, you adore Hip Hop, maybe you skate, and you love Streetwear fashion. I knew you were out there.
After spending time in New York City, I can definitely appreciate all types of fashion. Especially style that comes from the streets. I am so jealous of those who can actually pull it off. And now that streetwear had definitely gone retro, I'm getting flash backs just writing this.
I was checking out
Remember, the best thing about buying from a European store is the opportunity of buying brands that you can't normally find in the U.S. Yay! for online shopping and international shipping.
Are you a Hip Hop or Streetwear fashionista?

7 Inch Bully Stick Ring

Customer Reviews:
Papillon loves his rings!
Kip, my 15 month old Papillon, loves these rings. He holds them with both paws while he chews through the top. When offered all the other shapes, Kip picks the rings! Great product!
Jane zr.
The Ring Is a Winner
My two dogs are about 70 and 55 pounds, and they need a good, sturdy chew that will last. The "ring" fits the bill beautifully!
Thinner diameter of the bully itself than expected
These did not last as long as regular bullies, and were not continuous rings unfortunately. My expectations were as such because I've purchased sturdy, continuous bully rings from another vendor which last much longer...and held my large aggressive chewer's attention longer.
One Great Bully!
My dog had so much fun tossing, carrying, and chewing this ring. Will buy again.

Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
My wife and I have been using the Metolius Porta-Cord (PC) rope pack for several seasons and have been very pleased. In fact, we're getting ready to buy a second one for our second rope. We love it, but many other reviewers gave it low marks. Why have reviews been so mixed on this item? Read on.
After scanning through the numerous negative comments about the PC, we can see that our satisfaction comes from the simple fact that we use it for exactly what Metolius designed it for: a combination rope bag and summit pack. My wife wears the PC as we hike up to the crags; the 20-liter capacity conveniently and comfortably carries a 70-meter rope, two water bottles, and a few other small things. Meanwhile, I wear a separate (and much larger) approach pack that carries our rack, runners, shoes, food, and additional water. Notice that we each have a pack. We never expected the PC to hold ALL of our gear, water, and food plus a rope, nor do I recall ever reading any advertising claim to this effect. It's a ROPE pack, not an APPROACH pack. Nobody ever complains about their regular rope bag (Ropemaster, SuperSlacker, etc.) not being able to carry a rope, rack, shoes, clothing, food, water, and more, so why expect this one to do that? If that's your goal, go buy a 30- or 40-liter pack/duffel (such as a Crag Station or Neon) instead.
Once we start to climb, the PC is used as a summit pack to carry our descent shoes, food, windbreakers, and several quarts of water. The 20-liter capacity is perfect for this purpose; a larger pack would just get in the way. The streamlined twin side pockets nicely hold collapsible-style (Platypus or Nalgene) quart bottles; rigid bottles will also fit, but then you'd lose the streamlined benefit. Access to the main compartment and side pockets is quick and easy, which is especially nice during a hanging belay.
At the top of the crag, our shoes and other stuff comes out, then our rope gets flaked onto the tarp and rolled in through the handy front zipper. Our food and clothing gets tucked back in between the rope and top flap. We just wear the rack down, since there's no room left in the PC, but that's never been a problem.
Although you could use the PC as a rope bucket, that should be regarded only as a side benefit of this versatile item. Don't expect the PC to perform as well as a dedicated rope bucket for that purpose.
As with all Metolius softgoods, the materials and construction appear to be top notch. I'm sure you could eat up the fabric if you used this as a haul bag, but that's true of pretty much any pack that isn't intended to be used as a haul bag.
Overall, we've come up with only a few minor gripes. First is the tarp size, which everyone else has already commented upon. Honestly, the 3x3 size is big enough to flake a rope onto, but another foot in each dimension would certainly be welcome. I'm not sure why Metolius didn't use the same tarp size as in their popular Ropemaster. Second, we'd like to have more of a structured top-flap pocket, for things such as sunglasses, tape rolls, and snacks. As is, the flat shape of this pocket limits its use to topo maps, route beta, powerbars, and other flattish items. Third, we're sad to see that Metolius seems to have discontinued the various colors (blue, green, and red); we see only black versions in current (2012) ads.
The bottom line is this: If you use the PC rope pack for what it was designed to do, you'll probably be delighted. However, if you buy this item thinking that you're getting a 40-liter approach pack that holds ALL of your climbing stuff and then magically becomes an inconspicuous 20-liter summit pack, you'll be disappointed.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
I have used a lot of climbing equipment since my first experiences in the early 1990s and most purchases came without regret. This bag was a purchase with partial regret.
The materials are fine. The bag will easily sustain a lot of wear and tear. It holds a 60m rope at 10.5mm. I have concern if it could hold a rope any larger than that.
The bag sits narrow on the body and would make a good fit for climbing with it on your back. It also has a clip and would feed good at a hanging belay. The sides have the water bladder pockets. All good ideas. The main zipper is of good quality which is important.
The poor choice was to make a half sized tarp for the rope. I'd rather not have one at all, or otherwise get a full sized tarp for the rope. If they fixed that, the bag would be a little better (4 stars).
I would not return the bag because it is of decent material and would also be a good option for a pack during multiple pitch climbs. E.G. good for carrying water, shoes, camera or an extra rope for rappel.
In my opinion the price should be about ten dollars cheaper until they get a bigger tarp.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
This is my first and maybe my last rope bag. I have to have 2 straps, I don't like single strap rope bags. Single strap might be easier to unload, but I love having a back pack. It makes it easy to hike out to the crag.
Metolius needs to come out with the same model but bigger tarp.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
The only drawback is a considerable one - the tarp is way too small to use when laying on the ground for my 60 meter rope. A rope size which is standard. Metolius should double the tarp size.
Otherwise the bag itself is quite useful. It is narrow and won't get too hung up in a tight chimney (at least any more than another narrow pack), it is durable, and comfortable. it's too bad they didn't make the tarp larger. This would work quite well at stance and hanging belays. I don't believe it would be too useful on a 10mm 70meter rope though. It simply does not have enough capacity for that much rope. Although I don't buy 70 meter ropes I know that some do. It would be a deal breaker for them.
I'm not going to sell this thing off, but I would consider a different bag in the future. Originally I was looking for the old Metolius rope bag which was like a backpack but it doesn't look like they make it any more.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
I really wanted to love this pack. To that end, I used it for a full season before returning it to try a better pack.
This pack is, hands-down, better than any rope bag available. If you're replacing a rope bag, or avoiding buying one, this is a great way to go.
That said, it's a pretty bad pack. I found the straps uncomfortable, the lid hard to close when overstuffed, and the side pockets useless for holding anything when carrying a rope longer than 50M.
Unless you're carrying a super-skinny rope or a 50M sub-10mm rope, you're going to have trouble closing the pack, taking other gear with you, getting anything into those side pockets, and difficulty getting the load to ride correctly.
Also, I find those gear lashing daisy chains overrated. If you clip your shoes, harness, helmet, or water bottle to the outside of this pack, you'll suffer from an unstable load that snags on trail obstacles. Not ideal.
I live in Rumney NH, exactly 3/4 mile from the crags, and I'd avoid taking this pack to the cliffs. Instead, I found myself favoring my hiking pack: so I knew something was wrong.
If you have short approaches, a short rope, not a lot of personal gear, and don't mind the minimal padding on the straps, then this is an excellent pack.
If you are looking for a rope bag and can have your partner carry the rack, food, and water, then this is the pack for you.
Otherwise, it may not be.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
I bought this bag because I really like the double shoulder strap design. The bag is very comfortable, and the idea behind the design has very good potential; The reason I say this bag has poor construction is not because a lack of quality but because the tarp is very small! After one trip outside I had to wash my rope.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
Being on crutches means I needed a bag quick to sling on, low profile so my elbows clear behind me, easy to load, and not too padded / heavy. This bag beats any back pack and looks very cool too.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
The good - great little bag for a day of sport climbing, toss in the rope, a handful of draws, shoes, harness, water bottle and lunch. Clip your helmet to the daisy chain on the back, and you are ready to for a day on the rock. It's rugged, much easier to carry than the average rope bag and has a couple of nice pockets like the zip pocket in the lid for keys, wallet etc. and the side pockets for water bottles.
Also makes a nice small size haul-bag for trad climbing, though it is too small to carry much gear.
The downsides - A little small, with a 60M rope, the bag is really pretty full, a 70M would probably fill it to the top. Also, since it doesn't completely seal up, it's not waterproof. The rope tarp is a bit small, but useful enough to provide a little protection from mud and the like.
Construction is typically rugged - simple features, easy to access compartments. It's reasonably comfortable to carry, but since it doesn't have a waist strap, it can be a little unstable for scrambling over rough terrain.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
This pack builds itself up to be a little more than it is. I have a 60meter, 10.5 mm rope, and it fills the whole thing. One would assume that, because it is a backpack rather than the traditional 1 strap bag, it would be easier to carry your rope. But, as a rope, especially a new one, is somewhat stiff, the pack is uncomfortable. And, unless you are using a small rope, little to no room is left for the shoes, harness, etc. that would make it a "crag pack". Though, it has many loops on the outside for draws and biners and such, but if you hung your shoes off of it it would be pretty annoying to have them waving around.The pack is cool looking, and the material is definitely strong enough to hold up to any abuse. I'll be returning mine to REI in exchange for a metolius ropemaster. For hiking to crags and such, save up the extra money and go buy a legitimate climbing pack (REI has a section totally for climbing packs, they make a [$]40L pack) or a quality crag pack like the Black Diamond Boa. Then you have a small hiking pack as well.
Best Uses
Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:
Best value for the money. Super tough nylon material. The rope tarp pocket on the inside back can be used as a hydration bladder holder. I have drug this pack up a few multi-pitches is Joshua Tree and see no bad abrasion spots...incredible!

Buchanan – Control room operators will briefly remove Indian Point's unit 3 nuclear power plant from service this evening in order to reconnect the plant's auxiliary electrical transformer. The plant has been operating since March 1 after being taken out of service on Feb. 29 to disconnect the transformer for a precautionary repair.
The auxiliary electrical transformer takes electricity from the plant's main electrical generator and reduces its voltage to power various plant equipment. Unit 3 operated between March 1 and April 10, using a separate source of electrical power for use on site while repairs to the transformer were being made.
Workers repaired a tap changer, a part of the transformer that regulates the voltage output from the transformer.
Unit 3 has been online for 41 continuous days of operation since the shutdown to remove the auxiliary transformer from service.
Unit 2 is operating at full power and has been online for 10 continuous days since completing its twentieth refueling outage on April 1.
Indian Point Energy Center, in Buchanan, N.Y., is home to two operating nuclear power plants, unit 2 and unit 3, which generate approximately 2,000 megawatts of electricity for homes, businesses and public facilities primarily in New York City and Westchester County.
-30- Indian Point Energy Center's online address is www.safesecurevital.com Twitter: @Indian_PointFacebook: Facebook.com/IndianPointEnergy

Dear Major Network TV Exec's:
Perhaps you've already begun your holiday weekend, seated at centre court Wimbledon. Or on a private island whose location you've only tweeted to the paparazzi.
Or maybe you're one of the true working stiffs, stuck in a conference room, trying to resurrect your ratings.
I don't really care where you are; I just care what you do.
Please save the brilliantly funny "Party Down"…'cause Starz is letting it die.
Executive VP of Programming Stephan Shelanski said Starz is 'committed to aggressively expanding our original programming lineup'…but then they canceled their brand new suicide drama "Gravity," too.
Sounds like what they really have is a commitment issue….or not enough money to back up their big plans.
Again, I don't really care.
I just want "Party Down" to have a second chance…with a network that can afford to keep it on the air. It's a far better show than a lot of the shlock that's out there now — we're talking absurdly funny, with guest stars used in truly creative ways.
So, come on people — let's work together and solve two problems at once. Save "Party Down" and fill one of your slots with quality TV.
Okay? Okay.
Now go out and play. It's a holiday, for cripes sake.
