Several months ago I purchased the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and have been very, very pleased with it. I really enjoy using this lens in low light situations and for portraits. Each of the shots below were taken with it.
You can find more of my photos on my Flickr photostream.
I took a quick trip to the east coast a few weeks ago. This photo was taken somewhere between Nashville and San Diego on my return trip.

If you haven’t heard of PicLens yet I encourage you to visit the PicLens website and download the PicLens browser plugin.
PicLens enables you to view media-rich websites in a “3D wall”. The YouTube video below demonstrates how it works.
So far I’ve only used PicLens while browsing through photos on Flickr and it has worked wonderfully. Your mileage may vary.
Graeme Goldsworthy, in his excellent book According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible, provides a few brief, but helpful summaries of the various branches of theology. Make note of these summaries since they will likely prove to be useful in helping someone else understand the different theological disciplines.
Systematic theology asks:
What should Christians believe now about any aspect of Christianity? Its results: Christian doctrine.
Historical theology asks:
What have Christians believed about their faith at any given time? Its results: A record of the development of Christian doctrine.
Pastoral theology asks:
How should Christians minister to one another so that they grow to maturity in Christian living? Its results: Care and growth in the local church.
Biblical theology asks:
By what process has God revealed himself to mankind? Its results: The relating of the whole Bible to our Christian life now.
