i was skeptical at first about buying this because i have long history of hating pressed powder. it just looks to makeup-y on me. it accentuates any dryness on my skin, dryness that i didnt know was even there. but since i love the finish of the dream matte mousse foundation, and having read the good reviews, i decided to try it. and i must say this is the only pressed powder that i have ever liked. it looks really natural on my skin. the puff that comes with it is not good for much, as i expected, so i used my foundation brush to apply it. i love it. i bought one shade lghter than the color that i should have fit under because it just looked like a better match for me. it matches perfectly. i agree that the pan is thin, so it appears to not be a lot in there. but it's still worth the price to me.

Yep, this stuff is great! I carry this around w/ me for touch ups and I'm loving it. It controls shine & covers just a tad. At first I hated the packaging (it's a weird swivel type deal and opens up 3 ways) but now I really like the whole cencept. The puff it comes with is a joke & went right into the trash...I just use a travel brush and it works well.
EDIT: 10/4/07-this ended up making me look really cakey by the days end, esp. around the nose. Went back to MAC Blot & I would not re-purchase this one.
I went into CVS to pick up some deodorant, but I always go to the makeup section to see if there's anything new. When I saw this, I thought to myself "Dream Matte has a powder"? I looked through the shades to see if one came close to my complexion, (NW43/NW45) and to my surprise there were two shades for dark. The one I chose was Hazelnut (Dark 2-3). Well, it happens to be a perfect match for me. The coverage is sheer to medium and it leaves my face looking glowy, probably due to very microscopic shimmers I can see by looking close at the powder, but you don't see shimmers once it is applied. It feels very light on, it blended very well, and it did not cake on me or look ashy, just natural and glowing. Dare I say I like this better than Studio Fix? I'm kinda leaning in that direction;) I paid only $4.99 for it with my CVS card but the regular price is $7.99. I really hope Maybelline keeps this around for a while because this one's a winner.

I have been so impressed with this product ever since I bought it. The Dream Matte powder has a lovely soft texture, and just the right amount of coverage - not a powder foundation which can look too heavy, but not so sheer that it doesn't even out redness. The powder never looks chalky or powdery - a big plus after MAC Blot. I don't use the puff that came with this. When I carry it in my purse, I use a travel sized powder brush.
I took off a couple of lippies for the packaging which, while cute and kind of novel with its swivel mirror thing, Is almost definitely built for right-handed people. The motion to open it is so unnatural to me that I seriously waste a few seconds of my life very time I have to use it because the way you twist it is backwards to me. Maybe I'm just slow.
For reference, I have normal skin with rare breakouts, very fair (NW15/Alima N0-N1) with pinkness in cheeks. I use the Fair shade of this product.
I am really thrilled by this product. I have been using it without foundation with just a little concealer underneath and it covers amazingly but the crazy part is, it doesn't look powdery at all. I'm assuming it has something to do with the silicones that reviewers below say are in it. It controls oil shockingly well. The packaging is really neat you can see the power through the top and the bottom kind of swivels out to reveal the mirror. The only real downside of this product is that the pan is really thin and the puff included (this weird microfiber suede feeling thing) is useless, but I never use the included puff so this isn't a big thing for me. It's cheap, it's really amazing and it's worth a try IMO.
This powder is just as good as high end brand powders. I was so surprised at the quality. It makes your skin look so refined with a natural skin glow. It controls oil fairly well, but I don't think you can truly stop oil from coming out of your pores. You can just alter the way it looks. Still need to blot. Just not as much.The color was perfect and it has a translucent quality that I think will help it blend into skin tone variations.
I normally hate Maybelline powder. Actually, I still hadn't found ANY powder I like. . until this one. I'm seriously in amazement.
I'm a server in a restaurant. I put this on around 9 am and after a massive lunch rush, and going inside and outside back and forth for hours, at 3 pm, it was still on. You couldn't tell I had been working at all, since we all sweat, even by going outside for 5 minutes in Texas' 108 degree weather this summer.
The next night, I had to vacuum my car out, and even though i did it at night so the heat wouldn't be as bad, I still dripped sweat by doing so (in a black car with black interior lol). It stayed on. I don't know how.
I'm so in love with this. Even all of you die-hard I-hate-Maybelline people out there, TRY THIS.

My new favorite pressed powder! Can't quite believe how awesome this product is - esp. for a drugstore powder.
Makes my skin feel like velvet! Probably due to the silicones in it. (I did request an ingredient list from the company which they did e-mail to me). Does not turn orangy throughout the day - wears well and looks great even with touch-ups.
I'll be stocking up when this is on sale! I'm sure hoping it will be a staple in the line. I do feel like Maybelline as a brand is improving since being owned by L'Oreal.

This powder in my opinion is like silk. It provides coverage but is so lightweight you'll never feel like you have it on. It is better than all the department store powders which is what I normally buy...and I have bought many and spent alot doing so. This powder has no fragrance and is no comedogenic so it won't clog pores. There are enough shades to select from for most people and the powder blends so well that if you can't find an exact match it does not really matter in this case. The price is unbeatable at the $7.99 I paid at Walgreens but that may have been a sale. It is displayed with seasonal makeup and not on the shelves. I mean it...this is the most spectacular powder and I have gotten so many complements on my skin since I started wearing it.
I love this pressed powder. The reason I find this amazing is I normally don't like pressed powder (I use a powder foundation to set my foundation and to touch up during the day) AND its a drugstore brand. I purchased Beige which is a very yellow undertone beige that would match a light/medium - medium skin tone. It doesn't have any orange in it. If you need more warmth, Honey was a bit more golden tan.
I've used it twice as a foundation over the Age Rewind Double Face Perfector and Cle de Peau concealer and it looked amazing. I normally like a heavier coverage, but my skin looked so healthy and smooth. Amazing. I'm going to try the technique to work tomorrow and see how well it lasts through my work day. It did last through a 12 hour humid/hot day yesterday!
Note: I've been extremely lucky with Maybelline products lately! I also highly recommend the Age Rewind Double Face Perfector. Its brilliant.

Where: Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
Guru says: Set on an absurdly gorgeous stretch of Yucatán shore 90 minutes from Cancún, this is the best-regarded retreat destination within the yoga community, hosting more than 50 events a year. Join a group trip sponsored by one of several international yoga stars, such as Baron Baptiste, or simply sign on for Maya Tulum's five-night or seven-night MBS (as in mind, body, spirit) program. The price includes yoga sessions, meditation classes, three vegetarian meals per day (fish is optional), massages, and day-trips. The spa serves up specialties such as Mayan clay massage and Sobata Maya—a concentric navel massage. Oh, and there's a sweat lodge run by a third-generation shaman named Fabian.
Classmates: Among the hippie-chic 20-to-45 set, this place is more popular than soy chai lattes. You're liable to share hardwood with film and rock stars, politicians, and Manhattanites looking for time off from the social circuit.
Om factor: Given the Mayan context and enthusiastic clientele, expect bizarre conversations about Krishna, string theory, indigo children, 2012, Tantra, the evils of Fox News, and the holographic nature of reality. Quick: Say, "Mayan navel massage" 50 times fast.
Prerequisites: Crow pose. You don't have to know how to balance on your hands with legs curled up like a perching crow's wings, but if you don't, you may have asana envy.
Extracurricular: Aside from getting sweaty with Fabian, explore the nearby Mayan ruins in Tulum and some of the largest pyramids in Mexico at Coba. Snorkeling is also first-rate.
When to go: Winter and spring are the most popular, but good deals can be had in summer and fall. Baptiste leads weeklong "boot camp" retreats October 21–28 and May 19–26. (For more information, visit Baptiste's site.)
All-inclusive MBS retreats from $1,020 per person; Baptiste's boot camps from $2,595

7 Reasons why this is the TOP consumer camcoder on the market,
This review is from: Sony HDR-PJ430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
Hands down, this is an excellent camera and has all the features that any person will use... and more! I'll keep this review short and to the point - giving you everything you need to know to decide if this camcorder is for you. Everything short of watching video samples online. Now onto the top 7 features that make this camera the top consumer model on the market.
1) The biggest improvement over last year's Sony models is the addition of MP4 recording format. Finally Sony decided to release MP4 video format in the camera. This is a huge benefit and essential for the needs of most home video makers. MP4 is the file format used by websites like YouTube and Vimeo. MP4 files can be immediately opened by any computer or smartphone and do not require additional computer software to view. In the past recording in AVCHD or other proprietary formats was a nightmare for non-professionals. Most people want to record and then watch their videos, without purchasing expensive software and waiting hours for video rendering. 2) This camera has Sony's new anti-shake hardware. Other anti-shake methods will move only the lens or the sensor, but this camera moves the entire lens block. Sony claims 13 times less shake and I am amazed at the difference. My Canon VIXIA HF M500 has a very water-like anti-shake feel, where the image floats when the camera moves. But this Sony is much more precise and keeps the image centered inside the picture window much better. Less movement of picture as the camcorder tracks the scene better. With standard handheld shooting, it's tough to get blurry or broken up video. Very impressive. 3) The number 3 awesome feature is Sony's built-in projectors that display the recorded videos onto walls for immediate viewing. This feature is just plain fun! Sure the projector's video quality can't hold a flame to an HDTV, but the hassle of hooking up AV cables to the rear of a wall-mounted HDTV makes the projector great. Plus, everyone who watches these projection videos is always impressed and has lots of questions. Which is perfect for a techie like myself. In my hopes to use this Sony camcorder as a home theater projector, I tried adding video files from my computer onto the SD card. Unfortunately this camera will only playback videos that are recorded on the camera itself. I tried to play MP4 files from my Canon camcorder and also ones that I downloaded, but the Sony camcorder will not recognize the files. Last year Sony released it's first line of camcorders with built-in projectors and still is the only brand to offer this. This alone makes an Sony camera worth considering as your top choice. 4) 5.1 Surround sound! Again, most camcorder brands will give 2.0 sound, but Sony gives 5.1 and you can hear the difference. Initially I didn't think much of the 5.1 surround sound feature. But when these videos are played on an HDTV with a 5.1 surround sound stereo system the difference really comes out. 2.0 sound will play only from the speakers to the right and left of the TV. But 5.1 plays in the front speakers, center speaker, rear speakers and sub-woofer. Most internet uploads will only need a camera with 2.0 sound for laptops, tablets, desktops and headphones. But for home video viewing 5.1 is really great to have. 5) Wi-Fi features like remote control from your smart phone and uploading through your smart phone add another dimension of awesome. Usually remote controls run $100 and can be easily lost, broken or forgotten - so having the smart phone act as one is perfect. Remote controls are excellent when shooting on a tripod and you don't want camera shake or you have to be in the video and there is no one to run it. And for still photo taking, using a remote and tripod gives the clearest photo possible. With unlimited cellular data plans, video can be uploaded onsite - which is becoming more popular due to facebook and twitter. This is a great feature that may not be needed by every person, but can make using this camera a lot easier. No need to pop the memory card out of the camera to put into the computer to upload. Now it's all done in the camera! 6) My number 6 item may not be loved by everyone, but I think it's unique enough to be considered a selling feature. This Sony can shot 22 still image photos over 3 seconds. They call it "Golf Shot" because it can be used to analyze a golfer's swing. But this feature can be used by any action photography - like skateboarding, bird watching, blowing out birthday candles, or just trying to take a group photo without people blinking. This feature essentially bridges the gap of still photo cameras and video camcorders. Sure the resolution is not anywhere close to a DSLR, but if you are looking for one device to do photos and video, this Sony surely beats point-and-shoot cameras for videos and smartphones that do both. For the last year, my Canon camcorder became my take along video and photo camera. The photos were good enough for internet sharing and the video quality exceptional. I know that my new Sony will do a better job. 7) And the final #7 reason why this Sony camcorder is at the top of the list, is the use of SD / SDHC / SDXC memory cards. If you come from a history of using Sony products and have many Sony Memory Sticks lying around, then you may not think this is all that great. However for people moving from other brands of digital equipment, this is very important. Nearly every other brand of camcorder, camera, mp3 player, tablet, etc uses SD/SDHC/SDXC cards for expanded storage. After years, Sony finally joins the crowd. I am grateful that Sony is making themselves more user friendly. Now we don't need to buy Sony-specific memory cards, but can use the stack of SD cards we already own. VIDEO QUALITY... Comparing the 1080p & 60 FPS video quality (recorded with AVCHD) to the 720p & 30 FPS video quality (recorded with MP4) it is possible to notice a difference. There are approximately 2 million pixels in 1080p versus 1 million pixels in 720p. With 2x as much data, already the video quality should be different... and with this camera it is. But it's not so much the resolution that stands out, it's the fuzziness the motion causes due to the slower frame rate (60 FPS vs. 30 FPS). Since this Sony camera gives you both true HD AVCHD and internet-ready MP4, I don't see this as a problem. When I want to shoot videos that I'll watch on my HDTV or save for family memories, then I'll use the highest quality AVCHD. But for 90% of my videos, I shoot in MP4 because I'm putting them online. For those worried about loss in quality on MP4, it really isn't that great. Mostlikley only someone who watches a lot of videos will notice the difference. Think of it like DVD vs Blu-ray. DVDs are still very watchable and for short clips large video files are not wanted. Hard drive space alone can be expensive. COMPARISON TO CANON VIXIA HF M500... It is common knowledge that two brands dominate the camcorder market in performance and sales - Sony and Canon. Last year I bought Canon's top range consumer camcorder, minus the bells and whistles. I'll compare the video quality of this new Sony to last year's Canon. Comparing this Sony to my previous camcorder Canon VIXIA HF M500 Full HD 10x Image Stabilized Camcorder with One SDXC Card Slot and 3.0 Touch LCD4 I notice a subtle difference in video quality - with Sony producing crisper images and more color saturation. You may want to watch some YouTube video comparisons to see the difference. Both cameras have MP4 recording format, which is very important in my mind - and what I bought my Canon for last year. The sound on the Sony really is over the top compared to the Canon. Here it's like night and day. Toss in the projector screen, wi-fi abilities and slow motion, rapid fire photographs and this Sony is impossible to beat for a consumer level camcorder. Highly recommended. I consider it the best consumer camcorder on the market. I take pride in my reviews. If my review helped you please click the YES button below. It helps make this review easier for others to find. Thanks for reading and good luck! * * * Updated 12/12/13/ * * * Reason #8 (posted by Pard in the comments section): You missed one of the biggest (actually, smallest!) advantages of the Sony: its wide angle lens. The focal length in Movie Mode starts at 26.8 mm (35 mm equivalent), which is very wide compared to most other camcorders. This allows you to get a lot more in the frame, especially when shooting indoors. This is the #1 big advantage for me.

Does its job superbly,
This review is from: Sony HDR-PJ430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
I've had this camcorder for about 2 weeks now. While it has some flaws that annoy me, it does its primary job (recording videos) outstandingly and i can highly recommend this product despite them if your primary concern is video capabilities. The following are my notes/observations that i recorded during my time with this camcorder.
The video recording is where this device just shines. I love the stabilization technology for video recording. Everything recorded is so fluid and smooth due to what Sony branded "Balanced Optical SteadyShot"...check out Youtube for demos of this technology to see how awesome it is. The microphone also does a superb job picking up and recording sounds. I love how quick it is to startup and quickly capture a moment. I also love that i can take pictures even while recording video. The stillshot camera is nothing special though. Its slightly better than the 8MP camera on my Galaxy S2 smartphone. Takes a while to charge, atleast 2 hours... and this is via the ac adaptor. You can charge it via USB as well but that will no doubt take twice as long (manual says 280mins in fact). This long charge time is one of the few flaws i found with this device. You can get 2.5 hours of use on the highest quality video(~11 on lowest). While i like the overall design of the device, the battery sticks out at the back. You get used to it but it takes away from the aesthetics in my opinion. The LCD display is small (with a 960*240 resolution) but it is visible in sunlight. This brings me to another flaw which is the touchscreen responsiveness. It occasionally lags or doesnt respond to touches. I tried calibrating but it didnt really help. The playback mode especially has alot of visible lag between operations (selecting/showing albums). This was my biggest disappointment with this machine. The projector is a nice perk to have. Its nothing special though, just 640*360 resolution. You also need quite a bit of distance to project a big screen. It also is useless in even a semi-lit environment. It needs to be a dark environment. Some info i didnt see mentioned in the product description that might be helpful to know: You have 28 GB available to use. You can attach upto a 64GB memory card. 100-240 V input is supported, so all you need is the plug type converter overseas. Tripod receptacle length of screw must be less than 5.5mm The largest single video file you can record is 2GB (where upon it starts a new video file).

Solid performance, loaded with features,
This review is from: Sony HDR-PJ430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
I've only had this for about a week, but so far I am very impressed. This is the first major purchase for me without reading a review. I waited several weeks but couldn't find one review, so I bought based on its features and on the consistently high Sony camcorder reviews. I'm actually not a fan of Sony, but they seem to make the best camcorder in this price rage. As you can see by the specs, this camera has just about every feature you could want and more so I won't go into the feature set. Yes, I wish it had a viewfinder but those are pretty rare these days. The touch screen isn't very responsive but it gets the job done. The video quality is outstanding. Initially I was disappointed until I realized the default factory setting was LP mode. Once you set is at the highest resolution you will be amazed. The stated recording time of 11 hours is based on the LP mode; the highest resolution recording time with the internal memory is about 2:45.
The USB cable built into the strap is nice, but I have concerns that over time it may become frayed or loose. It's the only means of getting data off the camcorder so if it breaks, you're in trouble. There is a hot-shoe accessory that has wi-fi but I don't know much about that yet. The biggest drawback is the USB cord in only about two inches. You'll want to buy an extender immediately because otherwise you need to hold the camera up next to your computer. The camera is light but still too heavy to dangle from the USB cord while it's connected to your computer. You can add your own SD card and use that instead of or in addition to Sony's internal memory. Thank you Sony for not using a proprietary memory card (for once). The display also has a cool 5:1 Dolby graphic which shows were the recorded sound is coming from. The projector works well. You need to position it really far back to get a large picture. I don't have a real screen to project on to, just my beige textured wall, but the picture is sharp. It needs to be used in a dark room because the lamp doesn't put out too much light. The optical stabilization is achieved due to the lens being in some kind liquid housing. When you look at the lens and move the camcorder up and down, it bobbles around, which is very different but it seems to work well. When use an extended zoom, the image doesn't shake like most camcorders but it does gently wander up and down, left and right. ** UPDATE ** After using this more extensively for a few weeks, I am amazed at the image stabilization; it is truly innovative. I've never seen anything like it. Now the bad news, the navigation screen is difficult. Partly because of the small screen size (comes with the territory of having a small camcorder, I guess). I wish there was a 'home' button because getting back to the main screen takes time; I usually end up just shutting it down and turning it back on again. By the way, this thing does turn on very quickly. Just open the hinged viewer and one second later it's going. Transferring video: When I connect this to my computer and cut/paste, the images and movies don't get deleted from the camcorder. You have to go back in a delete them manually. The built-in mic and sound processing is excellent. I actually think it's better than my after-market mic (although it's hardly a high end after-market mic).

With the cost of this camera being high, I had high expectations of the video quality and I got it. The video quality is unbelievable! The audio can be recorded in stereo or 5.1. The audio can also be modified manually in case you are recording a loud subject such as a band you can lower the recording volume to prevent the sound from being distorted. The menu which can be accessed through the touch screen viewfinder is simple and easy to get around on.
The ONLY problem I'm having is getting the data off the camera onto my computer. There is a software download that Sony offers on their website called "Play Memories Home". This is supposed to allow you to export and even import material from the camera to the computer (and back), and it also does other things as well. After installing said software, I found that my camera and computer doesn't "see" each other properly and it doesn't work. I'll figure it out... I was tempted to deduct a point in my rating due to my frustration but it wouldn't be fair. This camera IS great and that's the bottom line. UPDATE: The camera can't download from it's memory card to the computer. You must FIRST send the card's content to the hard drive of the camera - THEN from there you send it to the computer. All this is simple and quick with the click of a button within the menu.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization... PERIOD,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony HDR-CX430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
In this age of everything HD, measuring pixels by billions, it's hard to find which camcorder to buy. First, you weed out the ones you can't afford and/or the off-brand cracker-jack models, then you trim the ones that review poorly, and you're left with a list of about 45. All within $200 of each other with very similar specs. Now what!?
I'll let all the other reviewers rant and rave about the laundry list of features of this camera. There's one incredible feature about this camcorder that sets it apart from the rest... Balanced Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization... PERIOD. I can't say enough about this feature from Sony, but I'll try to keep it concise. It's a feature previously found only on Sony models over $1,000. It does what expensive, bulky, professional balancing counter-weights do for the pros, from INSIDE A TINY VIDEO CAMERA! If you're a mountain or motocross biker, it's like having actively damped full-supension for your camera. Here's my take on how it works - The lens is mounted on its own gyroscope that follows where you're pointing it, only it lags behind by just enough to remove your jitters and slow the dizzying pan. There's a reason TV cameramen carry all that heavy equipment and their cameras still have to sit on their shoulder like some 1980 Betamax home video recording device... JITTERS. The smaller cameras have gotten over the years, the more un-watchable home video is because it's so shaky. This device goes WAY past other anti-shaking features (at least that I've ever owned) and because it's "active" it does it without processing or pixelizing your video. When you combine it with the 30x optical zoom you can get clear, watchable video from the sidelines of your OTHER kids game! The shot that says it all was of my family on a boat ride on a choppy lake. The video is smooth as can be, then I slowly zoom out... and continue to zoom out... until you realize they were a quarter mile away! I could go on and on, but the proof is in the pudding... once you try it, you'll be hooked. Your days of home-movie-induced nausea are over. Oh yeah... There's a lot more to like: - There's a USB cable built-in to the hand strap so you can download and charge without bringing the rest of the accessories. You CAN'T forget it. No more dragging the bulky camera bag to grandma & grandpas! - A 32 GB hard drive PLUS removable SD means you don't have to delete last year's championship game to catch this year's playoffs because your hard drive is full. SD cards are cheap, and you probably have a half-dozen laying around that would work in a pinch. - The LCD screen flap serves as the power, lens cap and standby control... no more 3 step process to prepare to get ready to try to capture what just happened. Instead, you pick it up and flip it open in one swoop and VOILA! you're ready to catch her first steps! - The zoom toggle is very fluid. It allows you to zoom VERY gradually while recording, or quickly zoom all the way in or out before you start recording. - You can take digital pictures WHILE you are recording video (this was a bigger deal before I realized my Samsung S4 phone can do this too!) - In playback mode, you bring up your hard drive FULL of home videos, already arranged by date. Pull up today and hit play and it plays the whole day, video and pictures, in order so you don't have to sit by the camera and select each one What I don't like: - The digital camera takes 8 MP pictures, but they're dark and grainy. Don't expect to frame any of these pics, but you'll be able to capture the moment for Facebook without having to stop recording, let alone pull out your phone or other camera. There's plenty more to know and love about this camera... but you've already read about that in previous reviews. ENJOY!

Good choice, some issues,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony HDR-CX430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Purchased this camera on the basis of the Balanced Optical SteadyShot feature. This feature GREATLY improved the ability to handhold the camera and use zoom. I was able to use it to great effect to capture some soccer video of my daughter from across the field. This was the intended purpose of the camera, and it works great for that.
Here are the pros: - Balanced Optical SteadyShot. This feature counts for probably 3x as much as any other feature. - Nice build quality. - Good zoom length (sometimes 10x is not enough). - Built in USB cable - The touch screen GUI is pretty easy to use. I like it better than the others that I tried. - Nice having some built in memory and an SDXC slot. Here are the cons: - The camera's indoor quality is not great. I would say it's quite marginal and the noise makes it seem less than HD. I think it's hardly better than my old Sony MiniDV, which had 3CCD in a small package. - 1080p60 video looks great, but is hard to work with. - Bundled video editing software is useless. - Very hard to work with 1080p60 video in Mac environment. I am still learning this, and it's obviously not the camera's fault that its 1080p60 video is so large, but for those looking for a simple solution, the 1080p60 format complicates your life. Compared this to the Canon HF G20. Canon costs more money. Canon takes better indoor videos, hands down. The outdoor video was much worse, however, due to it not being capable of 1080p60 and some strange interlace effect. Interlace effect could be eliminated by doing a transcode but that is another step in an already tedious process. Canon cannot take video in the MP4 format either, though the Sony's MP4 output is not terribly impressive either being only 720p. I am considering returning this camera and waiting for something better ad for 1080p60 software support to shake out, but I don't know. You can't wait forever. A lower end camera wouldn't have Balanced Optical SteadyShot, which seems a must have now.

Makes camcordering a total joy, but see my nice tip inside,
This review is from: Sony HDR-PJ430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
This PJ430V projector-equipped camcorder is of the 2013 model year cycle. It represents a refinement of last year's "first-gen" PJ260V model, although apparently Sony has now created two lower-priced 2013 models as well.
Earlier this year I bought a Sony HDRPJ260V High Definition Handycam 8.9 MP Camcorder with 30x Optical Zoom, 16 GB Embedded Memory and Built-in Projector (2012 Model) and my family absolutely loves it. Much of my review reflects a comparison between the PJ430V and the older PJ260V. The ***BIGGEST*** change from last year's model (and not just the PJ260V but the entire PJ-designated line) is, with the PJ430V and some other 2013 models, you can now project your own images, from your own videos to photos to Powerpoint to whatever, via the new external HDMI input jack. The input jack itself is micro-HDMI, and Sony does include a cable in the box that hooks up to a regular HDMI on the device end. For example, I have no problem projecting Amazon Instant Videos played from my Lenovo laptop. This is a really great way to entertain the family and business associates, no doubt, on the trip, or at home! Getting this to work is as easy as hooking up your playback device to a modern HDTV. On the PJ430V itself, you simply press Playback and then Projector on the LCD screen! Another sizeable change, other than a slightly bigger exterior body, is the PJ430V has 32GB of internal memory, while lower memory-sized models are cheaper this year. But here comes my ***TIP***: if you don't think you'll ever hook up to a laptop or Kindle Fire HD or Surface tablet or another HDMI-output device to project images, you'll save a lot of money by going with the PJ260V model, which is only one-year "old" anyway. The PJ260V is also slightly smaller and lighter and has a glossy body finish which makes it look very stylish. The PJ260V handles well unless you have really big hands and fat fingers, in which case this PJ430V will fit your size better. The PJ430V (this product) feels more rugged, whereas the PJ260V feels more refined in the hand. The PJ in the model name stands for projector, and means this model has a built-in 15 lums projector. In a near-dark room, it can project a watchable image up to 100 inches in diagonal. The V in the model name means this model has GPS, although as with PJ260V, locationing is very slow unless you have a complete open sky, as it does not have a cellular chip to give us A-GPS. As a camcorder, the PJ430V is excellent. The video image doesn't get better than this on a consumer-grade camcorder. A few years ago my hubby bought a 3CCD camcorder by Panasonic and we were amazed by its video image quality. After we got the PJ260V, we were blown away by its image quality even more, especially in low light conditions. The PJ430V uses the same sensor and image processing chip, so video quality is simply top-notch. The PJ430V does have a bigger lens, and in theory that results in sharper images, but side-to-side I can't tell the difference, yet. At first I thought a bigger lens should also lend to faster exposure, but turns out this is not a faster lens than last year's models. It's about the same in exposure, actually just a tiny bit slower at the tele end of the 30x optical zoom. As with all recent Sony digital imaging products, the PJ430V has something called "extended zoom" which I first became familiar with on Panasonic cameras. Basically the camera intelligently crops an image taken with all its pixels down to the pixel count needed for a given resolution, say 1080p, so you get more zoom without any image quality loss. The extended zoom here is 55x, augmenting the 30x optical zoom. It really works seamlessly, and you can 100% use the extended zoom just like optical zoom. (In other words, you get optical zoom from 1x to 30x, and then extended zoom kicks in at 30x to 55x.) I never use digital zoom. The PJ430V can take 8.9MP still photos, just like the PJ260V. But you should know that this is not a true 8.9MP resolution! The camcorder has 5.4 million pixels (see p. 63 of the English Operating Guide), and Sony lays out the pixels in such a way that it allows them to create 8.9MP pictures without much image quality loss. This kind of wizardry was first seen on Fujifilm's SuperCCD cameras, of which my hubby was a big fan for a long time back in the early part of this century! Still photos taken on the PJ430V look nice on the LCD and on projection, are probably on par with an iPhone (which means not as nice as my Nokia Lumia 920 phone but much better than any Android phone), can use optical and extended zoom, but cannot compare with photos taken with a real camera including the excellent Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 16.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Orange) (2012 Model) even at the same resolution. For instance, here you cannot control ISO! With the 32GB of internal memory, I don't have to use a memory card (SD/SDHC/SDXC or Memory Stick DUO). Video is recorded in one of three formats of your choosing: AVHCD, MP4 or MPG. AVHCD is designed for playback on HDTVs and is best when you record in 1080p or 1080/24. MP4 uses a lot of compression but still has good quality. MPG is for small files so you can e-mail or post them online. My family uses MP4 most of the time. For important occasions, we switch to AVHCD. The PJ430V can do 1080/24 but that's more for enthusiasts than regular home video makers. One thing Sony took away compared to last year's PJ260V is the wireless remote control. The PJ430V doesn't even have a sensor for a remote control. However, and this is a big however, you can get a WiFi adapter ADP-WL1M1 for this year's models including the PJ430V, and then you can not only wirelessly control the camcorder (via a smartphone app), but wirelessly transfer files as well. I plan to order the adapter after I submit this review. It's difficult to review a powerful, feature-rich camcorder like the PJ430V in a short review. The projector feature alone is worth a thousand words and a thousand pictures. Camcorders are not popular nowadays, but Sony has done an admirable job in injecting new life, and highly desirably functions, into camcorders. For precious moments in life, camcorders are still the best way to record moving images.

This review is from: Sony HDR-CX430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Pros: Excellent Video, Balanced OIS is awesome, 30x Zoom
Cons: Still pictures are useless... mic could have a little more gain... I am very happy with this camera so far... It does everything I need it to do and more... The HD video is very good and the 30x zoom is great... The auto settings do pretty good in all conditions... I don't care that the still images are grainy and awful because I got it for video... IT DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT IN FLASH like the AMAZON description states and also Sony site says (This will probably get corrected on both places so just ignore if they did) or at least I don't see one... The manual mentions nothing about a built in flash... There is a place in the cameras menu but it does nothing... I believe it is for an external flash... I will be calling Sony... You can see my unboxing and test video on youtube... Just search for XMSMLL and you will see it on my channel... there are 2 parts... I first bought the CX290/B and it just didn't cut it... then I got the CX380/B and returned that before even opening because I just had to have the BALANCED Optical Steady Shot... well worth it...

Big Quality in a Little CamCorder,
This review is from: Sony HDR-PJ430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
Sony's Handycam line of video recorders has been a solid choice for years, and with the introduction of the HDR-PJ430V Handycam Sony has brought another excellent recorder to the market. It produces excellent quality video, it takes good still shots and it has some features I have never seen in other camcorders.
This is a very small, compact and lightweight camcorder, roughly the size of a box of butter sticks. Out of curiosity I put the camcorder with the battery installed on the kitchen scale and it weighed in at under 14 oz. The small size and very light weight make this camcorder very easy to hold in one hand without fatigue. This is very good news for people who either do not have a tripod or would rather hold the camera for all of their work. At first power on, the user gets to select all of the necessary first-time settings - date and time, language and other preferences. This is all done on the touch-screen LCD. My last camcorder did not have a touch screen so I was minorly surprised by this feature. It also revealed the one and only issue I have had with this camera so far - the touch screen is slightly unresponsive compared to other devices I have used that offer the technology, and I find myself having to be very deliberate about accessing the screen's features. Once the first-time defaults are set, this camcorder is ready to start recording. Without too much thought about what I was doing I pointed the camera at a target and started recording. As I panned the room, the camera made the necessary adjustments for light and dark, making a huge adjustment as I passed the screen of my computer and adjusting back to normal lighting as I passed it. This is a normal camcorder feature and it seems to handle the light differences very easily. The zoom is above average. From about 40' away the camera can be zoomed in enough to read small lettering on a box. This is great for recording when the subject is at an appreciable distance. The camcorder also seems to do a very good job of auto-focusing, which it does as light conditions change. Setting the camera close to a wall and shining a light around it, you can actually see it making focal adjustments on the screen and settling on a good balance of light and focus. Video quality is, in a word, outstanding. Videos I have taken have come out exceedingly clear and bright without a lot of graininess that I have gotten with lesser camcorders. Even zoomed in all the way, image quality remains very good. Sound is also very clear and crisp. Where this camcorder excels over any other camera I have used, though, is in the image stability (anti-shake or anti-jitter, if you prefer). Sony makes a big deal about their stability component and it works as well as advertised. Turning the camera around so that the lens is facing the user, one can jiggle the camera and actually see the lens being adjusted as the camera moves. It moves very much like an eyeball which honestly is a little creepy but it works very well. If holding the camera instead of using a tripod, video will definitely come out better as a result of this feature. This is not just a camcorder, though. It also takes still shots. I like that this camera can be used as a still-shot camera, and though the user can make a few adjustments to make the image come out better, most of the settings are automatic. I have had better success with dedicated still-shot cameras, personally, though I have managed to render some good photos with the Handycam as well. The camcorder definitely does a better job than the typical smartphone when it comes to taking photos... It is very convenient to have a single device doing the work of two. Probably the most interesting feature of this camcorder is the built-in projector. I had low expectations of this feature until I actually tried it. Projecting roughly 30' down a dark hallway, the projector built into the camcorder lit up the wall with bright, clear images that looked great. As I moved farther from the wall image quality diminished as expected and it got better as I got closer, but this feature really does work nicely. It does not work well enough to give a professional presentation, of course, but it is fine for entertaining small groups and for quick playback right after shooting. Be aware, however, that the projector runs through all available images and movies in one sweep without taking a pause between. The software that installs when the camcorder is plugged into a computer is called PlayMemories Home, and it is actually a decent application for managing the content on the camera. It has more features than one would expect from the software that comes with a device. It allows for importing/exporting media, making basic edits on media (such as quick color adjustments and trimming/cropping), putting together slide shows, creating CD/DVD media, share online with several social media sites and a lot more. Most included software packages (at least, the ones I have seen) provide for much more basic handling of media. The camcorder is supposedly wifi-capable, but this requires an accessory that I do not have so I cannot really comment on this other than to say the capability is available. One of the things that Sony's HandyCam series is known for is the infrared/night vision modes that allow for better filming in extremely low light conditions. This particular camcorder does not seem to have that mode. It does recognize low-light conditions, but there is no option to turn on night vision recording. Though not a feature I really need, it is important to realize it's not available on this model. Curiously absent from this camcorder (considering that infrared is not available) is a light. So far this has not been an issue but I am curious to see how it does outside on a moonless night. Now, all of this said, Sony does have an accessory that is available that adds both a light and infrared capability. If you need a light or infrared with this camera, you will need that add-on, but be aware that it's a little pricey ($150 as I write this, which would bring the overall cost of this camcorder with the light to roughly $1000 at this time). Sony's new HDR-PJ430V HandyCam is a very nice camcorder with some interesting and useful features. It produces very good quality imagery, it is very easy to use and it is very compact and light which makes it a camera that can be used for a long period of time without fatigue. This camcorder is very much worth consideration if you're in the market for a good-quality device - especially if the projection feature is of interest.

Great uprwade from our other Handycam,
This review is from: Sony HDR-CX430V High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) (Electronics)
We make videos of our adventures to share them on YouTube and we had gotten to the point where we wanted to each have a camcorder on our adventures. We had been using a HDR-CX260V for a little over a year ago and we were impressed with it. The obvious choice was another Sony, but we did research other makes also. It came down to our experience with a Handycam and the new Balanced Optical Steady Shot feature that Sony had just released, that made us buy another Sony. The Balanced Optical feature is a major improvement over the regular Steady Shot, but meant that we would have to step up in price to get it, but we were also getting a camcorder that shoots better quality video.
This Sony Handycam HDR-CX430V has a lot of the same features as our HDR-CX260V, so right out of the box, we were familiar with some of it's use. Of course the HDR-CX430V has added features too; some manual settings, Cinematone, 24P, 5.1 recording mic and the multi interface shoe just to name a few. The other nice feature is the 32GB internal flash memory, not that I think we would ever need that much for our videos. This camcorder is small and compact enough to fit in the side cargo pocket of my hiking pants. It light weigh too and easy to use on the go. We hike mountains, climb down into caves, we have even found a geocache in the middle of a swamp and the Handycam is a great camcorder to keep up with us. The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is a wireless remote to operate the zoom, especially on a tripod. Of course I suppose we could invest in a better Tripod. lol Some of the downfalls of this Handycam, in our opinion, is the price, but we did catch it on sale for $100 off. The slow motion feature is rather grainy and we have found that most editing software does a better job at that. The 350x digital zoom is serious overkill. The nice thing about that feature is it can be turned off. If you use it, the video will be very shaky and very grainy even when mount on a tripod. We did post a video review of this camcorder and some of it's features on our YouTube Channel, Just copy and paste this link... [...] |

Does easing abortion restrictions advance women's rights? Lawmakers in France think so. On January 22, the French Assembly approved an amendment that frees women from justifying their decision to have an abortion. Supporters say it gives women greater control over their own body. Opponents say the bill "trivialises" abortion. We take a look at both sides of the conversation at 19:30 GMT.

NinjaGo Christmas Fanfic 2012NOTE First, I am going to say something that I believe is very important. The part about the Ninja having to wear the Santa suit, their actions are the way I believe people who are in about their late teen years, which is how old I think the Ninja are, would act. They all understand after. So, here's my holiday fanfiction for NinjaGo. I hope you like it. The story does take place after the last episode, and Garmadon is no longer evil. Enjoy. END NOTEIt was the middle of December. There was a cold chill in the air. The sun was high in the sky, but it still felt cold.The Ninja on Destiny's Bounty were decorating for the holiday. Nya was hanging some decorations up on the walls, while Jay was bringing boxes of ordainments for the tree in the living room up from the lower part of the ship."It looks nice." Jay said, complementing the way Nya was decorating the room."Thanks." Nya said turning and giving Jay a smile, "How many more boxes are there?
Finding Love Chapter 1Chapter 1: A Stray CatGamzee had just woken up and was making coffee to drink before work. He was not looking forward to listening to Terezi talk about Karkat. She would go on forever about how he was good in bed, about how he was able to deal his weird twin sister, and how "yummy" he could be. Karkat's twin sister was named Nepeta and she loved cats. Terezi had been best friends with the girl before Karkat had moved back from their grandparents place.Nepeta just acted like her normal self after that. Gamzee could see she was lonely though. Then Equius had asked her out and she became her old self. Something was different though; she always wore long sleeves and pants and hid her face. One day he had asked her about a mark on her neck she had panicked and ran out of the classroom.He was worried for the girl. He didn't want it to be true but he thought maybe Equius has become abusive. He shook his head. He would ask the girl later.GNGNGNNepeta woke up to arms surrounding me.

There are a lot of words that can describe me. Awkward, creepy, bearded, not-matching, curvaceous, thick-thighed, and devilishly handsome obviously are the most common adjectives. Looping these in with the countless amount of expletives muttered under-the-breath about my bad jokes (What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!) and the not-so-under-the-breath expletives about my driving ability ( I drive as well as Kendrys "I'm Bringing the S Back" Morales runs), I have been depicted in a multitude of very distinct ways.
One of the very few words in the English language that I have never been called, however, is "tidy." If you ask my mom about how I cleaned my room growing up, she would paint you a very vivid picture of my "dirty clothes" pile, my "clean clothes" pile, and my "I really don't know if this is clean or dirty, so I'll just smell it later" pile littered across my bedroom floor. Then she would tell you about the hundreds of empty hangers in my closet just steps away from these piles. Then she would tell you an adorably cute story about the time I rounded second base and headed to left field after hitting my first triple in little league. Then she would show you baby pictures of me (to those of you that will, someday, see these pictures, just remember that real babies have curves). Then she would start crying about how I am not a baby anymore. It is usually at this point that any prospective girlfriend looks at me, frightened in the eyes, and says, "I don't think this is going to work out." Then I actually start crying because I'll realize that I'll never be able to have a good relationship with an attractive woman because of one story about one confused moment rounding second. THIRD BASE IS VERY ELUSIVE!
I got sidetracked. I apologize. If I can remember correctly, the point I was trying to make is that I am not, nor have I ever been, a tidy person. My car is so messy you should probably wipe your feet before you get out, so you don't get the pavement dirty. I have to clean my room once a month just to remember that I do, surprisingly enough, still have carpet. The untidiness started at home with my mom, and as I've grown older, has now been imposed upon my very patient roommate. Same cleaning tactics and abilities, just a different zip code. What makes this situation even worse for my roommate is that she is, in fact, a she. While I'm poisoning the house with the smells of a real man, she is busy placing candles in strategic places throughout the condo to mask the gaseous remnants of the Taco Bell I had earlier in the day. Taking a tour of the condo, one will notice that at the top of the stairs you will reach two doors. To the left, the door will be closed, yet a Pigpen from Charlie Brown-like cloud of dirt will surround the door handle and escape from underneath the door. If you turn right, your nose will be surrounded with the amazing essence of the entire store of Bath and Body Works. Lucky for us, our neighbors, and all of our friends, the overwhelming smell in the house is, somehow, hers and not mine.
My roommate and I have known each other for a long time, but I do not think anything in her life could have prepared her for the depths of my untidiness. My mom, dad, sisters, four month old nephew and two cats all tried to warn her beforehand, but she did not heed their advice. Now she is stuck with me as her roommate, and everything that comes with it. Every time she finds my lucky boxers (they're candy canes!) on the kitchen table after a wild night of laundry, every time I leave a bowl of Cap N Crunch on the living room table with King of Queens still on the TV, and every time I tell her I have funny feelings for a girl based on her Twitter avatar (but SHE retweeted ME!), I'm sure she curses the day she agreed to this. In short, I am Brandon Wood and she is the Angels, except she cannot designate me for assignment. She's stuck with me striking out four times a game.
Another Angels metaphor I liken our situation to, is that of Peter Bourjos. When we first started living together, I was awesome. I was cleaning toilet bowls, I kept to myself, I vacuumed. I was Bob freaking Vila. It was during this time that my roommate grew comfortable living with me. Why wouldn't she? We were in the honeymoon stage of our co-inhabitance.
Peter Bourjos was awesome in 2011, when he started living with the Angels. He hit for average (.271) , he hit for moderate power (.438 slugging percentage), he played exceptional defense in center field (4 errors in 1269 innings). He was Darin freaking Erstad in 1998. It was during this time that we, as a fan base, grew comfortable with the idea of him being our everyday centerfielder. Why wouldn't we? We were in the honeymoon stage of our relationship with him.
The honeymoon stage with my roommate and I ended abruptly, however. I started eating Taco Bell. I started leaving the toilet seat up. I started watching Manswers with her. It was during this stage that my roommate is probably counting the days until her lease is up. Why wouldn't she? I turned from being Bob Vila into being Al Bundy.
**Fun game to play while watching Manswers: Take a shot every time the narrator comes up with a different word for the word "boobs."**
The honeymoon stage with Peter Bourjos and Angels fans ended abruptly as well. He started not hitting for average (.216). He has not hit for power (.278 slugging percentage). Even when Vernon Wells going down with an injury for four months, Peter Bourjos lost his job as a starting outfielder in the major leagues. Angels fans are counting the days until Bourjos is either traded or sent down to the minors. And why wouldn't we? He turned from being Darin Erstad into being Reggie Willits.
This is where the similarities stop. The smart thing for my roommate to do is probably be on the next train out of the condo. The smart thing for the Angels to do? Give Peter Bourjos a contract extension and continue their living situation. Even if Peter does leave the toilet seat up.
I will give you a minute to come back to the computer after you probably flailed your arms in the air calling me crazy. Wait for it. Alright. Peter Bourjos has turned into the red headed little freckly brother of his much superior older brother, Mike Trout. No offense to all my ginger readers. He has become so subservient to Trout that his value has diminished to the point of the Angels actually having a John Lannan for Peter Bourjos rumor floating around the mill. The same John Lannan who gives up 13 base runners per every 9 innings for his career. For comparison, that is the same amount of base runners per game Ervin Santana is giving up this year. Yikes. The same John Lannan who has an ERA over 5 this year…in Triple A. The Mike Trout effect has taken our little love affair with Bourjos and turned him into, allegedly, John Lannan. That's like my roommate trading me for the neighborhood creep. Neither Bourjos nor I have much to offer, but we are, at the very least, a step up above John Lannan and the neighborhood creep
Somebody with a lot more tools to offer than Peter Bourjos is Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles. One of those tools is having lots and lots of money, as he recently signed a seven year, 92 million dollar extension keeping him in Baltimore until 2018. For having such a generic name, Adam Jones sure does have a lot of money. However, in Jones' first full season in the majors, he posted a very Bourjos-like stat line: .270/.311/.400 triple slash with 9 homeruns, 21 doubles, 7 triples, 23 walks and 108 strikeouts. Bourjos' first year in the majors: .271/.327/.438 triple slash with 12 homeruns, 26 doubles, 11 triples, 32 walks, and 124 strikeouts. They both played exceptional defense as well. As you can see, Bourjos and Jones were very similar in the first full year in the bigs. In fact, Bourjos was actually better than Jones in all of the counting stats (note that Bourjos did play in 15 more games than Jones).
In all reality, Peter Bourjos is not Adam Jones. Bourjos had his breakout year at age 24, while Jones had his at age 22. Jones was drafted in the first round; Bourjos was drafted in the tenth round. Bourjos' main skill is his defensive prowess, while Jones' value relies much on his bat. Had the Orioles extended Jones after his rookie season, in all likelihood, he would have not cost them 92 million dollars. As the story goes, Baltimore waited until after three more years of steady improvement from Jones, including his breakout 25 homerun, 53 extra base hit year of 2011 to sign him. These three years probably cost the Orioles upwards of 40 million dollars. In other words, these three years cost the Orioles the same amount it would take to feed Prince Fielder for six months. The Orioles waited until Adam Jones' value was at its apex, instead of understanding the skill set he possessed earlier and locking him up for cheaper. Even Akon was locked up sooner than Adam Jones.
This is the chance the Angels have now with, as lonely female Angels fans call him; Gorgeous Bourjos (look at his eyes, OMG! #SingleGirlProblems). By his performance in 2011, the club has seen what Bourjos is capable of. Yet, his performance in the early part of 2012 gives the Angels a window of opportunity where his value has suddenly plummeted. Don't worry; this window is much cleaner than the one in my kitchen. Is he capable of hitting .270 with 11 homeruns at the major league level consistently? Probably not. But, is he better than his .216 batting average and zero power production of this year? The smart money would say he is. Even if he falls somewhere in between the two, at around a .250 batting average with 35 extra base hits and 15 stolen bases per year, a centerfielder with his defensive excellence is an extremely rare commodity and immensely valuable part of a major league team. Especially when you consider the longest contract of any Angels pitcher belongs to an extreme fly ball pitcher, Jered Weaver. Do you think Weaver would like to look behind him and see both Trout and Bourjos covering hundreds of feet at a time for the next five years? I would venture to guess Jered would reply with an emphatic "yes" and a fist pump. Jered Weaver is a scary guy; you don't want to be on the wrong side of that fist pump.
I do not know what dollar amount the value of Peter Bourjos is at the moment. I do realize, however, that his value is significantly lower than it was last year, and probably lower than it ever will be. Peter Bourjos' value is probably lower than James Earl Jones' voice. With the current financial structure of the team, having big money contracts guaranteed to Vernon Wells, Albert Pujols, Jered Weaver, and CJ Wilson, the Angels need to start spending smarter. This means doing things like signing Bourjos, Trout, and maybe even Mark Trumbo to long term deals before they reach a dollar amount of no return. Yes, I said it, even sign Mark Trumbo.
Bourjos is eligible for free agency after the end of his age 30 season, so any contract longer than the one Baltimore gave to Jones is too long. In addition, signing players to long term contracts whose main skill is based around their speed is also dangerous, because once they lose that extra step, they become borderline replacement level players. See: Figgins, Chone. Yet, I do think it is reasonable to sign him to a 6 year deal right now. Like I said, I do not know how the market values defensively great players with questionable bat skills, so I will not even estimate the how many dollars it would take to lock him up. I do know, though, that it would probably be worth every penny. And that contract would definitely still leave Prince Fielder hungry.
In conclusion, this is a plea from Bourjos to the Angels, and from me to my roommate: Dear Angels Organization (beautiful, wonderful roommate), if you keep me around, I promise, I will become a contributing member of this outfield (household). Just, please, sign me long term right now (don't ditch me yet), and I will prove to you I'm worth every penny (bottle) of money you spend (Windex we will buy). Thank you, and sorry I struck out yesterday (drank all of your beer yesterday). Have a good day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a new roof?
The following are things that may indicate that your roof needs replacing:
- Missing, cracked or curling shingles
- Blistering or peeling paint
- Shingle, sheathing or siding decay
- Leakage in the attic after heavy rains
- Stains on interior walls or ceilings
- High energy bills
What is the right price for a new roof?
The answer to this question depends on many factors. For a commitment-free quote, please contact us for more information.
What are my options if I decide to reroof?
You have two basic options. You can choose a complete replacement of the roof system, involving a tear-off of the old roof, or a re-cover over the existing roof, involving only the installation of a new membrane and surfacing. If you've already had one recover over your original roof, check with a professional roofing contractor to see if your deck can support a second recover.
Can't I just do the work myself?
Most work should not be do-it-yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace a roof. Novices can harm a roof with improper roofing techniques and severely injure themselves by falling off or even through a roof in need of repair or replacement. Homeowner maintenance should be confined to roof inspections in both the fall and spring to check for cracked or curling shingles, and to cleaning rain gutters filled with dead leaves and other debris. If you must see the roof for yourself, use a firmly braced or tied-off ladder equipped with rubber safety feet. Wear rubber-soled shoes and stay on the ladder (and off the roof) if possible.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Replacing a roof, whether on a commercial or residential building, is a labor-intensive project and, depending on the type of roof, could take anywhere from a few days to 2 or more weeks. The time involved is substantially affected by the weather, as well. Wind, snow, rain, or even just the threat of one of these will slow the process considerably.
For built-up roofs, removing and replacing the roof will probably proceed at a rate of approximately 1,500 square feet per day. For single-ply roofs, the rate is closer to 2,000 to 4,000 square feet per day. Careful planning and close project management can reduce some of the delays caused by bad weather.
How can a homeowner recognize when a roof has problems?
All too often, roof problems are discovered after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Periodic (twice-a-year) inspections can often uncover cracked, warped, or missing shingles, loose seams and deteriorated flashings, excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters or downspouts, and other visible signs of roof problems. Indoors, look for cracked paint, discolored plasterboard, and peeling wallpaper as signs of damaged roof areas.
My roof leaks. Do I need to have it totally replaced?
Not necessarily. Leaking can result because some flashings have come loose or because a section of the roof has been damaged. A roof failure, however, is generally irreversible and results from improper installation or choice of materials, or from the installation of a roof system inappropriate to the building.
