just bought a tripod and took a couple of pictures that look very clear. Is it my imagination or do they really make a difference ? When should i use a tripod. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Anytime you want! LOL. I have a good one, but seldom use it. But you need IS lenses, a really steady hand, and/or a fast shutter! For waterfalls, fireworks, northern lights, etc., you have to have one. I'm sure your shots will be sharper with it. JoanMN/FL |

I always carry mine with me....even when i "know" I dont need it, I usually end up whipping it out for whatever reason. You can usually scrape by without using one for relatively close things that are fairly still or if you have enough light for a very fast shutter speed (above 1/200) The further out you zoom, the more the body's natural shake is magnified on the sensor of your camera, so for subjects that require you to zoom out beyond say 55mm, you should use a tripod, or at least a monopod. Also a tripod just makes you look cool, IMO....:) A |

A tripod can improve your pictures in general, and especially in garden/nature photography : - in low light, when you need a slow shutter speed. - when you need the added 'depth of field' (a larger distance from the lens in sharp focus), a tripod allows you to use a smaller aperture.) - for panoramic pictures made using multiple images you will stitch or paste together - for pictures near ground level, using a small tripod, or using a accessory clamp on a tripod leg. (A tripod and a swinging viewing screen on some digital cameras lets you get ground level pictures easily) - in close-up photography. The added burden of a tripod will be forgotten when you see the picture on your wall! Johnny. |
And if possible use a shutter release cable to further reduce movement...or the self timer if the subject is static. |
that's above my head, don't know much about photography. lol |

Clairdo, as you take more photos, it will be obvious that some pictures seem a little soft or out of focus. Camera wobble is usually the cause. When you see those kinds of pictures you will know you should have used the tripod. Next time you are in a similar light or distance situation you will remember to drag out the tripod. May sound a little simplistic to some, but seeing and associating is the best teacher--anyway for me it was. When you use a flash or shoot in bright sunlight, you will seldom need a tripod. Of course you can always use one to get photos of yourself;) On the other hand, I spend most of my time figuring out how not to use a tripod. I hate tripods, hate lugging them out on nature trips, hate trying to focus on moving objects, hate unpacking and setting them up, hate everything about them. I prefer things like fence posts, car windows, car hoods, trees, chair backs, even monopods, anything to give my hands a steady support while I shoot. Not saying you shouldn't use tripod, just giving some options. |
I'm with bean counter. I know I should use them more, but, my biggest issue with them is trying to get the shot framed and with the angle I want with a tripod. That applies mostly to macros and flowers, but, the picture you can get (if somewhat wobbly) in a few seconds moving the camera around free hand can take "forever" to get set as well with a tripod. |
As a rule of thumb, use a tripod if the exposure speed is slower than 1/60 sec. Also, use a tripod if zoomed out more than 1.5 times normal focal length. For example, 2x focal length and 1/120 sec is equivalent to 1X normal focal length and 1/60 sec (with respect to camera movement). The farther you zoom, the faster the shutter needs to be. |
- Posted by john_toronto (My Page) on Sat, May 10, 08 at 13:51
Technical reasons for using or not using a tripod above are quite valid. Other reasons for the tripod are to be able to carefully study your composition, take test shots and review the result, while maintaining a fixed view. Perhaps there is some movement you want to capture from a fixed position, such as moving cars, birds, people. After setup, lock focus where you want it, then watch the scene change and click at the magic moment. You don't have to watch on the camera viewer - watch the scene itself. Johnny. |

First off, I really like that there is normal draft mode for players who wish to transition smoothly into ranked play. It's a fantastic idea. Unfortunately, there does seem to be a problem with how the mode is currently set up. Today, I spent a good 30 minutes trying to start a draft game, but every single time, someone queue dodged, the dodgers many of which dodged at the very last minute. Given that drafting itself takes about 5 minutes from beginning to end, most people would easily give up five minutes of their time to queue dodge for the smallest of unfortunate circumstances. I don't know if this is the typical, but I would not be surprised. I think a good way to combat this extensive queue dodging is to make the queue dodging penalty time longer for normal draft mode - perhaps 10 minutes instead of 5. That way, people who want to play normal draft can actually play it. Lastly, I hope that the change to requiring 16 OWNED champions (i.e., free champions no longer counting) for ranked carries over to normal draft mode as well. That way, there will be fewer queue dodges for not having a champion one knows how to play.

oh sure let's punish players for dodgeing a trainwreck just waiting to happen.
first dodge is 5mins, second dodge is 15, third is something ridiculous like half an hour or an hour. Maybe even more.
Well some players like to dodge to get to 800 so they can have a friend use it to boost them out of elo hell (can easily hit around 1400 doing this). This makes for a lot of dodging!
People would still dodge. Chances are when they sit down to play they're going to spend atleast an hour there. If they have to dodge, they're just going to do so and go on addictinggames.com or something for 10 minutes, and then re-do the queue.

timonski, if you think about it this way, you say that draft mode purpose is a smooth transition to ranked, and would you really play a ranked game with the smallest inconvenience? It should be perfect, and the ones that qeue dodge are probably the ones that know what is wrong with the team. To practice for a ranked game, it should be set up like a ranked game, not a normal blind game.

Desmond Jennings CF TB 12 Days
Jennings (knee) signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract with the Rays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 28-year-old has generally failed to live up to the expectations placed on him after a splashy 2011 debut, but will still have an inside track for the leadoff job in 2015. Jennings slashed .244/.319/.378 while slugging 10 homers and stealing 15 bases last season, before knee soreness sidelined him for all of September.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 4 Months
Jennings (knee) will not return to the Rays in 2014, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Although Jennings has reported feeling better of late, he hasn't improved enough to warrant a return during the season's final week. With the Rays securely out of the playoff contention, there would be little reason to rush him back anyway. Rather than travel with the team for their final six-game road trip, Jennings will remain in Tampa Bay, where he'll continue to undergo treatment with the hopes of getting fully healthy for 2015. His knee injury has kept him out of action since Aug. 29, limiting the outfielder to 123 games this year. When healthy, Jennings was able to post a .244/.319/.378 slash line, but his 15 steals represented a four-year low. He should have a starting outfield job heading into next year, but it's currently unclear how the recent ailment will affect his status in the offseason, where he'll be arbitration-eligible for the first time.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (knee) will likely miss the remainder of the 2014 season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jennings has missed the previous nine games due to the injury, and it looks like he will miss a lot more. The team has been rolling with Kevin Kiermaier in center field, and with no playoff chase this season, there is no reason for the club to rush back their center fielder.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (knee) missed his ninth straight game Saturday.
The Rays still have not revealed a timetable for Jennings' return, but there is no incentive for the team to push him back on the field at less than 100 percent given that they're no longer in the playoff picture.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (bruised knee) has no timetable for a return, Roger Moooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.
Jennings is still experiencing pain when he runs, an obvious concern for a player whose skill set is predicated on speed. Rather than trot out Jennings in the lineup at diminished strength, the Rays will give the outfielder as much time as he needs to get back to 100 percent health, though there's no telling how long that might take. Until Jennings reports improvement, Kevin Kiermaier will man center field on a near-everyday basis.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings' sore left knee has shown little improvement over the past week, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jennings (knee) has now been out of the Rays' lineup for six consecutive games and, according to Manager Joe Maddon, will not return to action before the injury shows improvement. With extra outfielders available due to roster expansion this month, the Tampa Bay skipper also expressed that the team can obviously afford to be more cautious.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (knee) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jennings was scratched from the lineup Friday with left knee soreness, and missed Saturday and Sunday because of the injury. That is the case again Monday, and with the rosters having expanded, the team will likely take its time in the return of Jennings with nothing left to play for.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (knee) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The bruised knee will cost Jennings his third straight game, but it's not believed a long-term absence is in store for the outfielder. He'll be replaced in center field and the leadoff spot by Kevin Kiermaier.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jennings was a late scratch from Friday's lineup but the team later clarified that he's just dealing with a bruise, suggesting it's merely a day-to-day situation. However, Jennings will sit again Saturday as Kevin Kiermaier mans center and Ben Zobrist leads off, and it's uncertain whether Jennings will be available in any capacity Sunday.
Desmond Jennings CF TB 5 Months
Jennings' knee injury is being diagnosed as a bruise, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.
The injury caused Jennings to become a late scratch for Friday's game, but he is day-to-day heading into Saturday.

How to write a superbissimo thank you note for a mirific, magnanimous gift
The holidays recede, the new year rises, and the gifts you received cry out for thanks. For the givers who deserve something more than a simple "thank you," there are more expressive words of gratitude.
Andy Nelson/The Christian Science Monitor/File
The holidays recede, the new year rises, and the gifts you received cry out for thanks. Do the givers deserve something more than a simple "thank you"?
What if they've braved a stampede of shoppers or scorched their eyeballs online searching for your ideal gift? Or unearthed the very thing you've desired by listening to you, understanding you, researching the choices? Or spent beyond their means or thought of you over the miles?
For such energetic and devoted giving, recipients may want to reach for more expressive words of gratitude – words beyond those of the generic printed card, e-card, numbly texted "tnx," or such hand-scrawled standbys as "Many thanks"; "Thanks a million"; and "I really loved it."
Not that these stock expressions are necessarily unwelcome. They at least acknowledge receipt, making them somewhat more gratifying than the silence of ingrates who can't be bothered, or of gift-haters, busy bees, and the chronically forgetful.
And before I myself forget – here's an avalanche of thanks to my late mother, who, from the day I could write sentences, taught me how the lavish thank-you note could be its own way of giving, with attendant pleasures; how it could make the givers happy, make them feel they'd done something special; reassure them that it's as good to give (especially to me) as to receive.
For anyone developing or honing writing skills, even as an adult, the gracious thank-you note is a perfect exercise. And the notes I composed as a child in the post-holiday quiet were in many ways the beginning of a long writing career, an early confrontation with the challenges of rhetoric: clarity, force, grace, embellishment, balance, and so on.

American Sociological Review, Vol. 68, page(s): 899-916
April 2003
Command economies gave Communist-era elites administrative control and material privilege but severely restricted money income and private wealth. Markets and privatization inject new value into public assets and create unprecedented opportunities for elite insiders. These opportunities depend on the extent of regime change and barriers to asset appropriation. Regime change varies from the survival of the entire party hierarchy to its rapid collapse and defeat in competitive elections.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this lesson, we are going to learn the fastest way to set a layer current. We are going to look at the Set Objects Layer Current command. This tool allows us to choose a current layer by selecting geometry in our drawing. On my screen I have got a mechanical part that I have been working on and this part also includes a section view. I'd like to start by creating a circle that represents the hole that passes through this object, and if I look at the Layer control, I can see the current layer is dimensions, and I know I don't want to draw my circle on that layer.
Instead of opening up the Layer control and trying to search for the layer I want to use, I am going to move up to the Layers panel and I click this icon. This is the Make Object's Layer Current command. Once I launch the tool, I'll select an entity in my drawing and AutoCAD will use that entity to set the current layer. As you can see, I am going to be drafting on the mech-part layer. I'll launch the Circle command and I'll create my circle from the center of this one, and I can see right over here this circle must have a diameter of 1.
So, I'll right-click, select Diameter, and I'll give this a value of 1. I'd like to do one more thing. Since this hole passes all the way through the part, I'd like to add a center line. To make that layer current, I'll click the Make Object's Layer Current tool and I'll select one of my center lines. As you can see, if I use this tool, I can set layers current without even knowing the layer's name. Let's launch the Line command, and I am going to drawn this from the midpoint of this line, and I'll drawn it to the midpoint of this line, and I'll press Esc.
Now, I'd like to extend this line a little bit longer in each direction. I'll do that by using the Scale command. I'll launch Scale, and I'll select my line and right-click, and I'd like to scale this from the midpoint of the line segment, and I'll drag this out a little bit and I'll free pick a point on screen. As you can see, using the Set Object's Layer Current tool takes the guess work out of choosing the current layer, and as your drawings increase in size, you'll appreciate how fast this tool allows you to work in your files.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Hancho!
Facts about Hancho
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Cream Or Ivory (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Hancho's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Hancho! Hancho is about 6 years old and was dumped at the OC shelter by his owners. He was at the shelter for almost 2 months before The Pet Rescue Center rescued him. The volunteers at the shelter loved him so much that they made sure The Pet Rescue Center had a chance to meet with him before leaving. We fell in love and brought him back to our center, where he quickly became a favorite with our volunteers. Hancho likes to play and would love a warm lap and someone to snuggle him up. He love hugs! He can guarantee a life-time of companionship if you bring him home! He just needs a second chance!
Pets are visited by appointment (times are flexible). Please email email@example.com to arrange a meeting time. This process allows potential adopters to spend adequate time with their prospective pet and prevents long wait times.
All interested parties must fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed to find the best possible match. You can find our application online at: http://www.thepetrescuecenter.org/adopt/adoption-application.html. Completed applications can be submitted online, faxed to (949) 743-5878 or emailed to: email@example.com
Our adoption fee is $300 for dogs and $150 for cats, and includes spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, deworming, regular veterinary check-ups, and current vaccinations. This fee helps to defray the costs of medical care, supplies and boarding while the animals are in our care.
The Pet Rescue Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization that seeks to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pets from high kill shelters and is temporarily housed inside the Alicia Pet Care Center at 25800 Jeronimo Rd. Suite 100, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.
Other Pets at The Pet Rescue Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hancho, a Mission Viejo Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Mission Viejo, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Mission Viejo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mission Viejo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mission Viejo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mission Viejo paves the way for another one to be saved.

There are various advantages that storage containers can offer and people get attracted to the containers like magnets once they have learned the benefits of these metal containers. The containers can immediately solve the problem regarding lack of storage space and you can also turn them into an office, store, and anything you can think of. The containers are reusable, durable, versatile, safe and secure, and offer competitive prices.
You can Reuse Metal Containers
More and more people are becoming advocates of recyclable items. People tend to focus in finding ways to reuse different items. A shipping container is being refurbished and turned into a portable storage container that you can either rent or buy to help you store your things away and make your home look well organized and clean.
Used metal shipping containers bear the same function and durability as the new ones. You can get almost the same benefits as the ones provided by the new units. Storage providers usually repair any damage on the old shipping container, repaint it, make it water proof, and turn it into an ideal storage container.
If the metal storage containers can no longer provide the things that they should provide or become useless, then they can be recycled and can be added as one of the raw materials in producing other things that use metal including other metal containers.
If you no longer need your metal container, you can resell it. You will find that reselling your metal container is especially useful when you need to have some money.
Metal Containers are Dependable
Metal is durable and strong that's why metal containers are dependable. They are more durable than plastic containers and if you will give enough care and attention to your metal containers, you can make them last for a long time. You can throw a piece of metal from a certain height and it will only suffer some dents and will not break.
The only enemy of metal is rust and you can prevent a metal from rusting. You need to apply treatment on your metal container to keep moisture out. You also need to check regularly for possible occurrence of rust and stop it from proliferating.
Your portable metal container can keep your belongings safe and intact, from the day you store them there to the day that you need to take them out. Just make sure that there are no perishable items that are included in your stuff that can invite mold and other things that can damage your goods.
Metal Containers Offer Flexibility
Portable metal storage containers are flexible. You can turn your container into a mini library, a separate wardrobe cabinet, an extension of your home, or even an additional bedroom. You can alter your own storage container to suit your needs. You can add decorations to make it cozy. Anything goes with your storage container just as long as you are satisfied with it.
Competitive Price
Contrary to what some people believe, metal storage container has competitive price and can be more economical than plastic container or other types of container in the long run. Because metal containers are so durable, you don't need to replace them every now and then unlike plastic or other types of container that can only last for a few years. If you will take good care of it, you can make it last longer than anticipated.
Your Things are Safe and Secure
There are metal containers that have high-security lock box on their doors to ensure maximum protection. Your provider knows how much you value your belongings because you need to put them in a secured storage container instead of using an ordinary storage system. You can ask your storage container provider if they can give you a container that can provide maximum security.
Portable storage containers are simply remarkable and you can never go wrong in choosing to own or rent one.

Saturday, July 24
Wrigley Field
Attendance: 41,009
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Tyler Colvin and Starlin Castro homered to support six solid innings from Tom Gorzelanny, as Chicago turned away St. Louis, 6-5, in the middle meeting of a three-game set.
Castro finished with three hits, two runs scored and two runs batted in, while Colvin scored twice and walked for Chicago, which has won the first two games over their rivals.
Gorzelanny (6-5) earned the win after allowing three runs on seven hits while walking three and fanning three for Chicago, which has claimed a series over a division foe for the first time in 11 tries. Carlos Marmol set down the Redbirds in the ninth to record his 18th save.
Blake Hawksworth (4-6) suffered the loss after allowing six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings while walking three and fanning four for the Cardinals, who have dropped three straight.
"The amount of pitches I'm throwing is just too many," said Hawksworth. "I'm just not locating the ball, especially my fastball. I'm falling behind guys and just throwing too many pitches. That's the factor right now, it's not the home runs, just my location is off."
Gorzelanny worked out of trouble in the first when Matt Holliday grounded into a double play after Jon Jay had doubled with one out and Albert Pujols walked.
Colvin then led off the bottom of the frame with his 15th home run of the season. He also started Friday's game with a first-inning homer.
"It's a good feeling," said Colvin about his leadoff long ball. "It was great just to get us on the board and get us the lead early. I don't know how much I'll do that but it's been exciting the last couple of days."
The Cardinals quickly moved in front in the second. Ryan Ludwick, just activated off the disabled list before the game, led off with a walk and raced to third on a one-out double by Brendan Ryan. After Hawksworth struck out, Tyler Greene lined a single into right field to score both runners.
Castro's two-run blast in the third put Chicago back ahead. Colvin drew a walk with one out and Castro hit the first pitch he saw into the left field seats for his third home run of the season. Derrek Lee followed with a single and scored from first on a two-out double to the right field wall by Marlon Byrd for a 4-2 edge.
St. Louis trimmed the lead back to one in the fifth on a John Jay sacrifice fly that plated Greene.
Castro and Aramis Ramirez singled to chase Hawksworth with one out in fifth. Mitchell Boggs took over and walked Byrd to load the bases.
The right-hander then uncorked a pitch that got past Yadier Molina, who slid to get to the ball and threw wildly past Boggs covering at the plate as Castro slid in safely. The errant toss also allowed Ramirez to score to make it 6-3.
Singles by Holliday and Ryan and a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Felipe Lopez loaded the bases for St. Louis in the sixth for Greene, who popped out to shallow right field to end the inning.
James Russell followed Gorzelanny to the hill and yielded singles to Aaron Miles and Jay to begin the seventh and was removed in favor of Andrew Cashner.
The first batter he faced was Albert Pujols, who flied out to the wall in right-center to chase home Miles and make it a 6-4 game. Cashner worked out of further trouble when Jay was thrown out trying to steal second base.
Ludwick and Molina opened the eighth with consecutive singles before second baseman Ryan Theriot misplayed a potential double play grounder that permitted Ludwick to score to slice the deficit to one. St. Louis could not push the tying run across after pinch-hitter Randy Winn flied out and Greene grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Marmol walked Pujols with two outs in the ninth before Holliday popped up to end the game.

I got the pink version. It is a good value sunscreen, cost about $10 on eBay.
It is light textured but the finish is still too shiny for me.
More reviews by prettypollyperkins
I have the mild version - SPF 45, white bottle. For years I have been looking for a light formula sunblock with a non-oily finish that doesn't break me out. I think I've finally found it. This is very runny but dries almost instantly to an invisible finish. The best way to apply is as a final skincare step by patting it onto the skin, much like you would an Asian lotion (toner). My skin is spotty right now and because I'm using a retinol cream at night this is a godsend for days I don't want to wear high factor bb cream. I haven't tried it over make-up yet but I think this might be possible too. Even including shipping costs it's very reasonably priced. UPDATE: still love this - I'm on my second bottle and about to order my third. A bottle lasts about three months with daily use, used on face and neck, so it's very good value. No breakouts either and my skin can be sensitive.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is pretty good but not as good as shiseido's urban defense facial ss which is very comparable in texture, finish etc. If it were more readily available in the states and I didn't have to pay so much for shipping I would prefer this as it is cheaper, however it is expensive to obtain from overseas sellers.
I love this product. Usually my skin is sensitive to various brands of sunscreen but this works wonders. It's so light that you don't feel like you're wearing sunscreen at all. It's great for summer here in Aus with the harsh sun because it has a high SPF reading. It doesn't dry up or flake and the smell is bearable.
Overall this is a great way to finish your daily morning skin routine before applying makeup.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this sunscreen. It has a light texture that is easily absorbed into the skin so you aren't left with the greasy feeling on your skin. It has a rather strong perfumed scent, which at first I liked, but now I don't like so much. I would prefer something with a by slight scent or no scent at all. I absolutely love the packaging for this sunscreen. It's essentially a squeeze bottle with a small nozzle, but it looks very sophisticated with the rubberised tube, the print, and the shiny silver cap. Originally $19.90 AUD instore but it was 20% off at the time I purchased it.
What really intrigued me about this sunscreen are the plant extracts that claim to provide other benefits along with the SPF protection (this is taken directly from the box):
Extract of aloe and cucumber- it soothes the fatigued skin caused by exterior stress
Extracts of Morris alba and glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root- nourishes and moisturises the skin
Extracts of portulaca oleracea and witch hazel- it protects the skin from harmful environment
The list of ingredients also has a lot of other plant extracts not mentioned above.
From my experience of using this daily for the past few months I can't vouch for the first and third claim, but the second claim seems to be alright. Sometimes I use this as a moisturiser on its own, and it works well for my dry skin. Either way I'm a sucker for plant extracts and added benefits so this is fine for me.
Bottom line: a good sunscreen with high level of protection (SPF 45 PA+++) that is easily absorbed and doesn't leave a white cast. However because of the strong perfumed scent I will not repurchase.

I don't know if I'd re-purchase this because I can't stand the smell. It has a distinct perfume smell to it. I don't know but it makes me gag. I have a pretty sensitive nose. Other than that I love this sunblock, it is great under makeup and alone.. I bought the waterproof one, maybe it has a different scent than the non-waterproof? Not too sure. But IDK. I bought this on eBay for about $13-15 and it came in the mail in about 2 weeks. I have tried the Kaore Biore version and those smell way better.
Definitely, my HG sunscreen as it has no white cast, dries in 5 minutes to a matte finish, is hydrating enough and relatively cheap.
The only drawback is it is pretty rare here in my country and can only be purchased online. Still, I will surely repurchase!

I have the Safe Block Soft Finish Sun Milk and it is by far the best sunscreen I have ever used. The coverage is high yet it's super light weight and spreads very easily. But the best best part? It dries to a matte texture. There is not a lick of oil ... and that greasy feeling you usually get from sunscreen? Non-existent! HG for sure, I would repurchase no matter what the price is.

Gosh, this stuff definitely deserves more attention. Holy grail sunscreen. Can't recommend it enough.
1) This sunscreen is ever so LIGHTWEIGHT! It feels as if one is wearing almost nothing on the skin. Absolutely no greasiness, no shine, no stickiness, no nothing. It is oil-free.
2) The rating is SPF 45/PA+++, so it provides broad-spectrum protection. The active ingredients are: ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (octyl methoxycinnamate), ethylhexyl salicylate (octyl salicylate) phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, (Uvinal A Plus), bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. I also researched the individual active ingredients before I purchased to make sure it provided sufficient UVA protection as well as UVB.
3) This is a hydrating formula. I can definitely feel how hydrated it makes my skin.
4) No white cast at all. Dries completely clear.
5) It is SUCH good value! I bought it for AUD 18 for 50 mL. This is an absolute steal compared to high end sunscreens - AND this is so much better!!!
6) There are some quite interesting natural ingredients in this product, i.e natural plant extracts. If you refer to the ingredients list above, the second half of the list contains these extracts (although being in the second half one wonders whether they are present in a high enough concentration to be effective?)
14 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was pleasantly surprised by this product. It feels so light upon application, no white cast whatsoever. It gives a semi-matte dewy finish. Plus it's so affordable (less than $10 during missha sale), what more can a girl ask for? Definitely a HG product for me ;)

Pope Benedict XVI: This was a feast of faith
Pope says good-bye to World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid
Best images from World Youth Day 2011
MADRID — Pope Benedict saw that 1.4 million young people could be buffeted by gusty winds and drenched by a driving rain and still fall silently to their knees to adore the Eucharist.
At the final Mass closing World Youth Day Aug. 21 in Madrid, the pope challenged the Catholic pilgrims to take that faith, make it grow and share it with the world.
NELSON, B.C. — When Bishop John Corriveau first took his post in the Diocese of Nelson he faced the challenge of ministering to a widely dispersed flock.
The diocese — which runs from Princeton, up to Golden, over to the Alberta border and down along the 49th parallel — stretches over highly mountainous terrain.
VATICAN CITY — While priestly celibacy is increasingly misunderstood and even under attack, the discipline continues to be a call to a whole-hearted response to God's love, said Cardinal Marc Ouellet.
"The celibacy of priests, as well as of bishops, has been put into question today with growing virulence because of sexual abuse, including of minors, committed by clerics," Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, cardinal told the bishops of Brazil.
EDMONTON — About 500 youth from across Western Canada assembled at the University of Alberta July 29-31 for the second installment of the national conference of Couples for Christ.
The first installment, held in Ottawa July 15 to 17, was attended by more than 250 youth.

A friend of mine wants to give her rabbit away and thought I might want it. I would love to take it, but I have nowhere to let it live happily outdoors unless its in the yard with my 12 chickens.
Would this be okay or would there be problems with fighting, feed, etc? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a flemish mix female that lives outside with my hens and 2 goats,,and she's the happiest rabbit I've ever seen. She has a dug hole she lives in under the goats house for safety that she built herself. They don't ever fight,,sometimes the hens will attempt chasing her but they can never get to her cause she's too fast! I would recommend that yours has some type of shelter and protection given the chance that she needs it from weather or other predators. Or she can live in the chicken coop ... as long as she's not vulnerable at night. I've had rabbits taken from owls at night,,they MUST be protected. I also recomend feeding her a medicated rabbit feed that prevents rabbits from contracting coccidia illness from the chicken poop. They sell it in feed stores,and actually it's not medicated,it has an additive of some microorgansm to prevent getting the illness. It's made for farmers who house their rabbits and poultry in the same building. |

Will Humans Make A Comeback In Customer Processes?
Posted by Craig Le Clair on January 30, 2012
We all feel the loss of human connection due to relentless automation, the emerging behavior of Digital Natives (who prefer online interaction to direct human interaction), and the inability of current systems to support "personalization at scale." So I've been wondering whether we will start to see real pushback against the straight-through and self-service procesees we endure daily — what I am calling "faceless" processes. In short, we are starting to see inklings that the pendulum is swinging away from faceless processes and a back toward more personalized human-driven interactions.
There are a few things that seem to point in this direction, such as community banks taking customers from the big guys, or the well-documented hatred of foreign call centers and voicemail hell. An "I've had enough" shift is also advanced by more vocal consumer attitudes — witness, for example, the recent consumer pushback on debit card fees. The question is, will we start to see companies start to differentiate based on injecting humans back into the process? Does social have a role to play here? And is there a way to measure whether this is actually happening?
Social Media
One area I have seen grow a face with the use of technology has been social media. Social media has caused businesses to once again have a community face and personality in order to interact with their immediate audience.
Thanks for this comment and I
Thanks for this comment and I agree social will have a role to play to humanize processes. It is already - with live chat for example -even if not quite live in many cases.

Chesapeake Energy Corporation Reports Financial And Operational Results For The 2012 Third Quarter
The company continues to achieve strong operational results in its liquids-rich plays, as highlighted below:
Eagle Ford Shale (South Texas) : Chesapeake's activities on its approximately 490,000 net acres of leasehold in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas continue to drive strong results, yielding net production of 52,200 boe per day (120,500 gross operated boe per day) for the 2012 third quarter. This represents an increase of 371% year over year and 44% sequentially, which included an increase in oil production of 462% year over year and 48% sequentially. Approximately 68% of total Eagle Ford production during the 2012 third quarter was oil, 14% was NGL and 18% was natural gas.
As of September 30, 2012, Chesapeake had 441 gross company operated producing wells in the Eagle Ford play, which included 124 wells that reached first production in the 2012 third quarter, compared to 121 in the 2012 second quarter and 40 in the 2011 third quarter. Also, as of September 30, 2012, Chesapeake had approximately 233 Eagle Ford wells drilled, but not yet producing, that were in various stages of completion and/or waiting on pipeline connection. Recent efficiency gains in drilling cycle times will allow the company to achieve its targeted well count goal utilizing fewer rigs than would have been required in 2010-12. The company is currently operating 23 rigs in the play, down from a peak of 34 rigs in April 2012 and plans to exit the year at 22 rigs. The company is currently on pace to have essentially all of its core and Tier 1 Eagle Ford acreage held by production by the 2013 fourth quarter.
Of the 124 wells which commenced first production in the 2012 third quarter, 115 wells (or 93%) had peak production rates of more than 500 boe per day, including 43 wells (or 35%) with peak rates of more than 1,000 boe per day, continuing a trend of steady operational improvement during the past year. Three notable recent wells completed by Chesapeake in the Eagle Ford during the quarter are as follows:
- The Faith-Yana A Unit C1H in Dimmit County, TX achieved a peak rate of approximately 2,175 boe per day, consisting of 1,580 bbls of oil, 295 bbls of NGL and 1.8 mmcf of natural gas per day;
- The Gates 010-CHK-B 1286-D3H in Webb County, TX achieved a peak rate of approximately 2,100 boe per day, consisting of 660 bbls of oil, 655 bbls of NGL and 4.7 mmcf of natural gas per day; and
- The Shining Star Ranch B 1H in La Salle County, TX achieved a peak rate of approximately 1,580 boe per day, consisting of 1,450 bbls of oil, 80 bbls of NGL and 0.3 mmcf of natural gas per day.

Hundreds of supporters gathered outside Tihar prison on Friday, eagerly waiting for the moment when anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare will come out of the jail after spending almost three days there.
People have been arriving in large numbers since early morning to participate in Mr. Hazare's proposed yatra to Ramlila grounds, which will be the site of his ongoing indefinite fast for a strong Lokpal bill.
Supporters expressed happiness over the Gandhian's decision to come out of the prison complex following rounds of negotiations with the police and authorities to decide on the agitation venue to undertake hunger strike.
"I have come here late last night to participate in this mass movement. It is our victory and we will remove corruption from the country with Annaji's help," said Ashok Marwah, a Dwarka resident who was among thousand others anxiously waiting for Mr. Hazare's release.
S.P. Singh, a businessman who was offering refreshments to people protesting outside the prison, said: "I am happy that Anna will come out from Tihar today. Government must pass Jan Lokpal Bill and accept all demands of Anna unconditionally."
"We will go with Anna and sit at Ramlila Maidan for as many days we can. We want Jan Lokpal Bill to kill this corruption," Manjula, a teacher by profession, said.
A festive atmosphere prevailed here as people organised yagna and sang songs for Mr. Hazare's well being and to extend support to the movement led by the anti-graft crusader.
Meanwhile, police have made elaborate security arrangements to keep any untoward incident at bay. Around 300 police personnel have been pressed into service outside Tihar.
Apart from this, a team of Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) has also come here along with sniffer dogs.
Notably, Delhi Police had detained Anna Hazare on August 16 hours ahead of his proposed fast at JP Park but had later decided to release him apparently succumbing to widespread pressure from the Gandhian's supporters.
Meanwhile, the anti-corruption campaign of Mr. Hazare has received mass support from several parts of the country with people turning out in massive numbers in all major cities.

A sly disposition matched with hubris; mixing talk of nuclear energy technology with stop and frisk. Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone) is the sort of guy who can arrest your attention by crossing oceans of topics, and he wants to take that ubiquity to Congress in a run for the open 6th Congressional seat.
To say Halloran's reputation precedes him is an understatement. The councilman has had public run-ins with every major power broker at the City level and a whole host of agency and community figureheads who have managed to draw his ire. He brings the same principled hubris to his Congressional candidacy. Halloran is a bit more casual about it.
"I have consistently been a voice for reform and transparency," he said in an interview at the Queens Chronicle's office.
Halloran was first elected to the City Council in 2009, after now-state Sen. Tony Avella's (D-Bayside) departure. His pre-political career includes stints as an NYPD officer, prosecutor and defense attorney.
The councilman considers his tenure in office a success so far, pointing to being ranked No. 1 in the council for constituent services every year since he was elected. Halloran has also brought back more discretionary funds than his predecessor, which he lists openly online as a nod toward his penchant for transparency. He also championed various causes that go part and parcel with being a councilman (ie: the Auburndale rezoning).
But making sure out-of-character houses aren't built on a neighborhood block is a far cry from tackling a capitol that has, according to many, become a morass of legislative obstruction.
Halloran's answer? A four-point good government plan made up of consitutional amendments, which would require passage by two-thirds of both the House and Senate before as well as approval by three-quarters of all states.
His proposal boils down to tackling the deficit, setting term limits, enacting campaign finance reform and declaring an official language.
The balanced budget portion would call for spending to equal revenue within five years, wiping out the much-ballyhooed deficit.
His plan would set term limits for all members of Congress — four six-year terms for the Senate, and four four-year terms for the House. Halloran has pledged he will not serve more than four terms if he goes to Congress, to set an example.
"This way, you're not running for office the second you walk into office," he said. "The more you're in politics, the more corrupt you are. I don't care if you're the best person on the planet. You make deals, the line becomes blurry."
For campaign finance reform, Halloran hopes to limit campaign contributions in monetary and material form to the current $2,500 amount for individuals.
Possibly the most contentious proposal — making English the official U.S. language — is posited as a common sense measure that will streamline the way government interacts with its citizens, especially at the voting booth, while uniting the country.
"There is no other nation in the world that lets you vote in more than one language," Halloran said. "I want a melting pot and not a mosaic."
The councilman also has a three-tiered tax plan: 5 percent for everyone earning up to $50,000; 10 percent for anyone making between $50,000 and $500,000; and 15 percent for the rest. All write-off's would be eliminated save education and mortgage deductions.
Halloran's plan also calls for lowering the corporate tax rate down to 20 percent while eliminating all deductions that aren't geared towards capital expenditures for U.S. operations and employee increases.
It should be noted Halloran has refused to sign Grover Norquist's pledge to never increase taxes.
Halloran also showed a steadfast "originalist" streak when decrying the Supreme Court's recent Obamacare ruling, which verified the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul. The Constitution and founding documents should be the sole source of guidance for the Supreme Court, Halloran asserted.
"The Declaration of Independence […] means something when it says we have certain inalienable rights," he said when talking about his legal philosophy. "It seems to me that we've often forgotten that these aren't rights given to me by a government; they're rights that existed by my condition as a human being."
Halloran, always adverse to labels, is a steadfast hawk on foreign policy matters. Iran has a nuclear weapon? "Give the green light to Israel to do whatever it wants," he said, and warn Iran's regime there is a price to pay for crossing the line.
"Flatten it and turn it into a parking lot," he said.
