» Sigma 10-20 vs Canon 10-22

Which should I buy? Sigma 10-20 vs Canon 10-22 Sigma seems to have great reviews, will save me 200 bucks Canon has 2 more mm's and is a smidgin faster.As usual, it's about the money. If the Sigma is optically very good, very well-built and fast to focus (which it appears to be) then the question is, are you willing to pay another $200 for another 2mm (on the long end, not the wide end where it would matter most) and the difference between f/3.5 and f/4.5 when both max apertures are variable? Personally I would say no, though you are free to disagree as long as your wallet is on your side :mrgreen:I the 2mm on the long end is negligible...it's the wide end that we are worried about with this lens. Also, a slightly larger aperture isn'...... - 2010-03-10

» Who is/was the greatest WNBA player?

I think there are several women in the running.....Chamique Holdsclaw....Cheryl Swoopes.....Lisa Leslie...etc.If I didn't know much about the WNBA I would say Lisa Leslie because she is well known, if I did a little online search I would probably see that Cynthia Cooper had a hell of a run with Houston at the beginning of the league. But since I know basketball and have been a fan since it inception I would have to say Deanna Nolan. She is by far the best and most consistent WNBA player since she came into the league. I think Cynthia Cooper, former player of the Comets. Cooper was voted the WNBA's first back-to-back MVP in 1997 and 1998, won four WNBA Championships with the Houston Comets.

I'm ever-so-slightly (5 pounds) overweight. I'm working on swim training to get into shape. I can swim a 300 continuously, but I'm worried about the weight retrieval. For those who have taken it, was it hard? Is there anything I should know? Any advice is great. Thanks!I think you need to swim 450 yds to pass, as well as learning all of the new strokes. You are going to need to increase your training. The hardest thing is going first when retrieving the victim. I went first and the victim suddenly found a lot of energy and struggled a lot. The victim had tired herself out for the people who went later. Moral: don't go first, go last if you can.its not very hard. for me, i needed to swim a 1000 in 20 minutes (2 minu...... - 2010-03-10

Problem is when I seek (scrub) playback it takes several seconds or more to catch up. Performance improves when I set to lower quality, but still too slow to respond to scrubbing.

That and if your system is drawing a lot of power, a capacitor will keep everything in the car from dimming when the bass hits.

I'm usually really chill and shy so me being this way was a little weird. Has this happened to anybody before while on xanax ? and is this normal ? Thanks.

When I picked up the photos they were croped 3-4mm more than what I designated ruining the opportunity of getting them framed without cutting off heads & appendages.

» What happens GM vehicles if GM goes bankrupt as far as vehicle values, warranties? What happens to dealerships?

GM's filing for bankruptcy protection does not mean that they will go out of business. They will reorganize into a more efficient company. They will redo their union contracts, probably cut the number of models they produce, further educe the size of their workforce, etc. Vehicle values should not be impacted, nor warranties. Some dealerships may go out of business, but there will still be many places to go for service or to buy new vehicles.If GM goes bankrupt it will go under as people will not buy cars from a bankrupt company. The warranties will stop and the dealerships will suddenly become used car dealers with maybe a few Hyundais or Kias in the showroom.

» Was I wrong to do this?

when my husband and i married, we made a decision to always give a 1/3 of what we have to charity, in an effort to maintain balance in our lives. it hasn't really worked, but we still do it, lol. anyways, i'll get to the point. i was buying something for the school i work at, and decided to pick up some lunch. there was a lady outside, homeless, who asked for money. since she looked high, and being an ex-drug user myself who refuses to support anybody's habit, i asked her what the money was for. she said food. so i walked away, and returned with a meal for her. she grabbed the packet, asked me for the money, and when i said i wasn't going to give her money for drugs, she started cussing at me, quite loudly, creat...... - 2010-03-10

» Why do you bother, athiests?

I want to know why it is that when someone asks a question about religion, that does not revolve around whether or not you believe, a proportion of the athiests in this site are arrogant enough to step in and say "God is a figment of mans imagination". Does it make you feel better about how much more "realistic" you are? Or can you not just accept the fact that there are more people in this world that believe in some kind of a higher power than just a chance happening like you do? Do you find it impossible to comprehend that we dont believe because we have to, or because we need to, but because something within us allows us to. If any of you can answer me these questions in a way that does not belittle me with your language, or ...... - 2010-03-10

» Wrestling weight classes?

I'm a high school wrestler weighing 121.5lbs, but i need to drop down to the 119 weight class by next thursday (December 4th). Any tips a schedule for losing weight? Hopefully one which allows me to still pig out on Thanksgiving. haha you should wear the thermal suit...You might want to lower portions down... don't stop eating. Drink a lot of water.

» How to thank a Vet ?

I was just wondering what would be a good way to thank my vet who help me save my puppies from Parvo. 14 of our puppies (my family has a kennel)) got sick right before a hurricane hit louisiana.((The parvo got in our yard because an idiot who lived a street away from us would not fix his pit bull's pin,so he kept getting out and coming in to our yard then one day the dog was just gone, come to find out it died from Parvo)) and he would not be in his office during the hurricane so he gave us a few IV bags, showed use how to use it and wished us the best of luck. As we already had antibiotics at the house we didnt need any and he also agreed on the use of Pepito for the throwing up diarrhea. In the end we saved 10 of the 14 puppies and w...... - 2010-03-10
