you can't turn the camera sound off...but if you put the phone on vibrate, It will not make the sound
On the S4 there is an option in the camera app that you can turn the shutter off. 1. open the camera 2. open the menu (left of the home button) 3. choose settings 4. click the sprocket on the top right 5. scroll to the bottom 6. open the shutter sound option 7. choose off
Some phones, depending on model/carrier, can turn off the sound in the camera settings. If you are rooted you can delete/rename the shutter click sounds files under system/media/audio/ui. If you are not rooted you can either mute the phone before entering the camera app (a pain in the butt). Or you can use Tasker to do it for you. You would have to program Tasker to mute the volume whenever you load the camera app. You can get more info on how to do this in the Tasker forum or just search Google as there are many explanations on how to do this. Or use a different camera app that has a silent shutter feature.
One of our Note 3 users Mr. Clean found an app for that that doesn't require root. The international version of the Note 3 is legally obligated to have a shutter sound. The same app should work for S4 users who don't have the shutter sound off option. Check out this thread, http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/782321-camera-click-begone.html
The app uses Tasker to accomplish this by muting the phone while the camera app is open. Sounds like it works well but just be aware that all sound will be muted when the camera app is open so you won't hear the phone ring or get any sound notifications. Most versions of this phone don't have this setting. It varies by location and carrier.

The Boston Bruins have added some depth on defense, acquiring Wade Redden from St. Louis for a seventh-round draft pick (per CSNNE.com).
Redden, of course, was freed from AHL purgatory this season after he was bought out by the Rangers.
With the Blues, the 35-year-old had two goals and three assists in 23 games. However, the addition of big-minute d-man Jay Bouwmeester from Calgary obviously knocked Redden down the depth chart.

Will he play with Chara again? That duo was scary in Ottawa.
- soj83 - Apr 3, 2013 at 3:40 PM
that could turn his career back around, it got him that contract last time they were together. at worst he is a step up from Johnson for the Bruins
- nunan - Apr 3, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Not all that great but having him on the same team as Chara may improve his game a bit. If anyone, Chiarelli has a good idea on who this guy is given their history in Ottawa. Complete depth move obviously and I would have liked a bigger move to solidify the D. The Bruin's biggest hurdle is finding their game though, and no trade is going to solve that. Jagr is an upgrade for sure. Redden is depth, and Soderberg may help when he gets there. But if they finally hit their groove here soon, they'll make a serious go of it. Hasn't happened yet this year so it needs to happen soon.

Bravo Jenny, I couldn't agree more with your comments and insights.
Bravo Jenny, I couldn't agree more with your comments and insights.
COP is not going away. There are constant adjustments and improvements being made to it each year. The system has only being used for the past five World Championships! Skating is in a lot better shape today than it was in 2006 and it will only get better as the years go on.

100% agree..
This is what Sonia keeps saying as well, unfortunately she can't put it as clearly as Jenny does.. I actually felt exhausted after watching COC last weekend, because honestly I am now at a point where I try to make myself like some of the skating I'm seeing.
There was also a great article about the artistic side, while some might not agree with it, I think it deserves a read..
I agree with her assessment. Considering Korpi's rather poor performance and the silver medal awarded her it makes me wonder more and more about some judging decisions. It is sometimes a blatantly unfair and inconsistent sport.
Where does she say that?
There was one change made this year that slightly reduces the severity of penalties for underrotated jumps that look good.COP is not going away. There are constant adjustments and improvements being made to it each year.
Kirk's main complaint seems to be that the downgrade penalty is still too severe. That could be addressed with more adjustments and improvements to the existing system, rather than scrapping the system and starting from scratch inventing a new one, which I don't see mentioned anywhere besides your post.
I like your optimistic outlook - but just saying skating is in better shape doesn't make it true.
Of course my opinion's are no better or more true than yours.
I agree with you that adjustments are being made but not so sure they have all been improvements. I think Jenny raises good points about some of the criteria for the way jumps are being scored.
Keeping in mind that skating can not and will not thrive when only a very small group of extremely knowledgeable skating experts are happy with the system is a point that seems worthy of consideration.
It seems obvious that if Jenny, as a former skater herself is puzzled by the outcome of COC, then how in the world are the more casual fans supposed to undertsand, agree and even enjoy what we are seeing?
I really respect your knowledge and opinions but it also feels like you defend CoP without much consideration for what less informed skating fans are seeing and feeling.
So far, we have seen much more sloppy skating than good skating this season. I believe that to be a factually true statement. I think the system is partially to blame as are so many question marks about the scoring of certain top skaters.
I believe more tweaking is necessary - much more before this system will be helping skating rather than hurting it.
Just my opinion - and even though I am still watching I am enjoying it less.

I have to disagree; Once again I have to say is figure skating a sport or not. Her complaints seem to be that things that would be look over in 6.0 era is now being penalized; Once again the battle over quality and risk has begun. I see as either you do it or you don't; you either rise to the occassion or you dont; I think with figure skating competitors being so young we feel the need to (baby them)
And so you also fall into the line of if we downplay ur; is that fair to the skaters that rotate their jumps(Joannie ; Akiko; Yu-na etc) Some even believe Mirai jumps in the short were UR and that she got lucky; Of course i don't expect volunteer judges to be 100% accurate ;they are human; So this comes to line that maybe some skaters should simplfy there program or they should just take the risk. To be this is no different from have a touch down called back do to a penalty;in football

I'm also curious what people thought of the interim system?
I really do think skating is in better shape. In 2006, the skaters had just been introduced to COP and there were Beillman's galore, messy positions and low speed in spins, and horrible death spirals. Today the programs are much more smooth and the positions are better. It's true that the performances haven't been fantastic so far but the skaters are all wanting to build for the Olympics - we have to remember it is only the beginning of November. By the time Skate Canada comes around I think we will start seeing amazing improvement in the competitors.
Maybe I do defend COP without thinking of the casual fan. I just don't buy the arguement that COP is that much harder to understand that 6.0. Ordinals were a messy, messy system and I think that even fewer people would have been able to understand that if they had been shown what the complete list of ordinals looked like. Thank you for your kind words
Well said, Jenny!
Good post by Jenny. I wonder if she visits any of these skating forums.
At this rate, we will just going to see 2A and 3T and 3S in any competition. The downgrade system just getting out of hand a little bit. It's already bad enough that you see skater with only 2-3 clean triple jumps getting on the podium.
Well, what can I say? She nailed it!
Other than the 6.0 sentiment that's EXACTLY how I feel. I've explained in another thread a suggestion I have to possibly improve the way jumps are scored.

I agree with "i wish I got the SOCOM II," my dad just got one...........very...sexy...
Good ideas about the stock. Gunshows are your best bet price-wise. Other than that adjustable stocks come in such a wide variety I can't even begin to tell you what to do with it. I favor the AR style ad-stocks but whatever. Last edited by iamdug; May 28, 2009 at 07:13 PM. |

I always wanted something with a pistol grip for mine, but something a little more svelte, like one of the old "E" type stocks, but in glass instead of wood. Even better, one that folded too.

Montana Gas Prices Plunge
Montana's gas prices jumped off their own fiscal cliff this week, dropping another 7.3 cents per gallon to an average price of $3.33 per gallon.
Montana's gas prices jumped off their own fiscal cliff this week, dropping another 7.3 cents per gallon to an average price of $3.33 per gallon.
For many years, gas prices have bottomed out during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 2012, however, Thanksgiving gas prices hit a record high nationwide while prices in Montana rose .7 cents over the week.
The chances of gas prices falling below the $3 mark anytime in the near future might seem unlikely, but analysts say that it could come close. Fuel costs, already dropping, are expected to continue to do so for the rest of the year.
Traditionally, the cooler months of the year bring a downward slide in gas prices.
Not so this year, however, as September closed with prices flat-lined for nearly three weeks in a row. The average gas price in Montana is still stuck at $3
Montana's gas prices this week are nearly identical to what they were a week ago. Although Montana's prices have been locked at $3.76 per gallon, the national price has dropped four cents to $3.81.
Many analysts predicted doom and gloom for gas prices this summer, with some saying they could reach as high as $6 per gallon.
But it seems those concerns were for naught — fuel costs have been on the decline and are now expected to stay well below last year's prices.
It's no secret that gas prices have reached astronomical levels, but one town's gas prices have apparently gotten so high that its mayor has gotten fed up with pumping money into the pumps.
That mayor is Tim Baldermann of New Lenox, Illinois, and he's called for a boycott of the gas stations in his suburban town.
While gas prices may be coming down a little bit after a four-month surge, they still stand at almost four dollars a gallon. According to a new survey from Harris Interactive of 2,451 adults, these unprecedentedly high prices are causing Americans to change their overall spending habits.
Gas prices have been a sour footnote in the public's budget for awhile. However, there may actually be some hope in sight.
A lot of people are hurting these days because of the slow turn of the global economy. Few places are making them feel the pain of painfully slow growth more than the gas pump.
But that doesn't mean relief can't unexpectedly happen.

As of this writing, Zilla of the Resistance has enjoyed a grand total of 1,044,165 page views!
Over at the old site, which I left over 3 years ago to blog on my own server, the old blog has gotten 866,144 Page views which includes over 50 thousand views in the past month (!!!!!) despite the fact that I haven't put anything new there in 3 years until now (thank you for showing me that my works before I got really sick still have merit)!
When I moved here to the new site, I lost all my blog traffic and I still see blogrolls in the ether that have me linked only at my old address, but in the past 3 + years that the Zilla blog has been at MareZilla.com I've managed to scrape up another 178,109 views, which brings my grand Zilla blogging total to 1,044,165 hits!
Thank you, everyone, for helping me to reach this major blogging milestone. I hope some of the people still visiting the old site will consider visiting here me at the "new" site, where I've been writing for three years and hoping they'd stop by.
I think I'll start putting new stuff there again, since that is apparently where the bulk of my readers still visit, even if it's just so I can let those visitors know about new stuff at Zilla of the Resistance at MareZilla.com.
As many of you know, I have been very ill for a very long time, which has limited my writing abilities substantially, and fighting for my life is expensive; I struggle to make ends meet and pay for my medical needs. I would like to write more, and any bit of generosity from reader friends would be greatly appreciated, be incredibly helpful, would lessen the load of things that I need to worry about, cheer me up, and encourage me to write more. Just putting that out there cuz I had extra medical expenses in the past few weeks and my cable/phone/internet company just jacked up the rates for my cable/phone/internet service so I don't think I'll be able to stay connected to the world without some help or a miracle.
Thanks again for the million plus views, it has been my great pleasure and a huge honor to write for you! I really do love you all.
UPDATE: Thanks to two kind reader friends who HTTJ, I am out of danger of losing my connection to the interwebz/phone/cable and that is a huge burden lifted from my mind!
I could still use some help if anyone who may want to assist me can spare it; it would be greatly appreciated and would enable me to get some things that might help me to feel better (like a heating pad, dietary supplements, non-prescription stuff to help fill the big pain gap that prescriptions don't help, healthier food [for myself, I always make sure that the Lil Resisters have high quality food, but I can't always include myself in a good menu due to the expense], maybe a trip to the doctor again soon to see if they can/are willing to properly address my pain which is currently not being well managed AT ALL, and of course, I'd be really happy if I had some wiggle room to try out new educational materials and learning opportunities with my homeschooled children).
Thank you from the depths of my heart to the two friends who came to my aid, and thank you to anyone else who might want to join them. And of course, thank you again to all of you who've been visiting here with me and offering me kind words, thoughts, and prayers for these past almost six years.

Reginald "Regi" Waldi Blinker (born 4 June 1969) is a retired Dutch footballer who played as a left winger.
During his career, he was also known for his dread-locked hairstyle, and played three years in Scotland with Celtic, after representing Feyenoord for 10 years.
Early life[edit]
Blinker was born in Paramaribo, Suriname.[citation needed]
Club career[edit]
Blinker began his career with Feyenoord in 1986. He stayed at De Kuip for 10 seasons, including one on loan at Den Bosch, and formed an efficient winger partnership with Gaston Taument (between 1991 and 1995, the pair combined for 61 Eredivisie goals).
On 4 March 1996, Blinker joined Sheffield Wednesday for £275,000, scoring a brace on his debut, a 2–3 away defeat against Aston Villa, instantly becoming a crowd favorite. He was suspended by FIFA for a time at the end of 1996 after it was discovered that he had signed for Udinese without telling the management at Feyenoord and then subsequently signing for Sheffield Wednesday.[1] At the peak of his career in England, he was set to earn a sponsorship deal with a major sunglasses manufacturer; much to the amusement of the British press, the deal was scrapped when it was revealed Blinker had been mistaken for Edgar Davids, a footballer renowned for his use of eyewear.[citation needed]
In August 1997 Blinker moved to Celtic in part exchange for Paolo di Canio as part of Celtic general manager Jock Brown's infamous 'trade' deal[clarification needed] with Sheffield Wednesday.[2] Blinker at this time linked up again with his former Feyenoord coach, Wim Jansen, who had been appointed Celtic first team coach the previous month. Blinker played in Scotland for three seasons, winning the Scottish Premier Division and the Scottish League Cup in his first season. He made a total of 70 appearances for Celtic, scoring 12 goals.[citation needed]
He returned home to the Netherlands in the summer of 2000 to sign for RBC Roosendaal. The next season, he signed for Sparta Rotterdam, where he finished his professional career in 2003. He played for amateur team Deltasport Vlaardingen for a few more years before officially retiring in the summer of 2006, aged 37.
International career[edit]
Blinker won three caps for the Dutch national team while at Feyenoord, making his debut on 24 March 1993 in a 6–0 home win against San Marino for the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers (70 minutes played in Utrecht).
He made his last appearance nearly one year later, in a friendly with Tunisia.
Upon retiring, Blinker became a publisher of lifestyle magazines for the professional football world in the Netherlands, the company being named Life After Football.[3]
Renowned for his charitable work,[citation needed] he also ran in the Berlin Marathon, in aid of the Dominic Hague 'Wheelbarrows for Africa' campaign.[citation needed]

I bought a tube of this stuff because it is one of the protective lip balms recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. I need to protect my lips, especially in the summer, because I end up with big, nasty blisters if I don't use the right thing. A drugstore product that I used to love to use with an SPF 15 was discontinued but probably a good thing because in the summer, it just doesn't protect my lips enough.
I just tried it on this morning, because I plan to use it under my lipstick now. It has that awkward edge around it, since it is brand new, so, that will wear down in time, but it wasn't hurtful. It went on easily and was smooth.
The one thing I wasn't expecting was that it has a slight sweet taste to it. I now wish I had gone ahead and bought the Walgreen's brand (which was also on the Foundation's list) because it was $1.99 for a package of two vs. Banana Boat $1.99 for one. The only reason I didn't buy the Walgreens was that it said tropical flavored. Well, Banana Boat didn't give me any warning that it was flavored. i kind of like to use a protective lip balm with no flavor. So, I'll probably try a different one next time. I mean, it's not overwhelming but it would have been nice to have been able to make a better purchase decision. I don't mind spend extra on a good product for my face or lips, but a little disclosure about the flavor would have been nice.

I bought this lip balm because of the high UVA protection it provides. While I might wear this for a day at the beach, I wouldn't use it as an everyday lip balm. It feels moisturizing at first, but a couple hours later my lips feel drier than before applying it. It has a waxy feel and non-shiny finish. To me it smells a little like blueberry bagels and has a slightly sweet taste.

I found this at my local Zellers for $1.99 CAD, and I'm glad I did. For SPF 45 in a lip balm, nothing beats this. I'm happy that it doesn't leave a freakish white cast, and is pretty moisturizing. In terms of moisture, I haven't found anything as good as my Lip Smackers, but this will do just fine in the mean time. It smells pretty good as well. I just started mine, and it's a little chunky, but hopefully it will smooth itself out. Pretty darn good, although I'm dreaming of the day that Lip Smackers sells their SPF lip balm in Canada, sigh... If I happen to find this again, and unless I find something amazing, I will buy this again. :)

Good lip balm. It makes my lips super smooth and moisturised. Has a sweet scent and UV protection. However i find the content to be a tad thick (not greasy, but thick which makes my lips feel somewhat over-coated by this product). Overall, great product.
Would i repurchase this? Probably not because i'm loving my Palmer's Dark Chocolate and Cherry Lip Butter.

Makes my lips feel soft and hydrated. Only problem is that it has an addictively sweet taste, but I guess the menfolk may like that. Has a high SPF rate for a lip balm, which is why I purchased the product in the first place, since I have a family history of skin cancer. I am so glad I found this product at Target. Very accessible and can find it anywhere.

Great lip balm with SPF 45 for the summer time. Moisturizing, but not greasy. No white cast left on lips. Last is a bit sweet, would prefer no taste, but not at all disagreeable. Under $2us. I found mine at Target, ***EDIT: The taste was too sickeningly sweet for me. Gave it to my neice.

Hi,I am a single mom and have an 18 month old daughter and might be having my first c-section at the end of this month due to babys size. I have heard that there are more limitations when you have a c-section and it takes longer to recover than a vaginal birth. Im worried about being able to take care of my 18 month old and newborn completely by myself while recovering from my c-section....any advice or experiences please? and how bad is recovery from a c-section? thanksss
Advice for taking care of toddler & newborn while recovering from C-Section?
Comments (6)
the c/s will leave you a little more tired than vaginal delivery. however, your toddler will be confused and increasingly needy. try to recruit some help for a few weeks.

When I had my 2nd, my other child was 21 mths old. (Both were c/s) My husband took a week off of work to help me out at home but ended up having to take an extra week. I was still verrrry sore. This time, he's already put in for 2 weeks vacation!
My advise: Get someone to help you out for a couple weeks!

The hotel was remodeling their lobby. No problem. The workers were very nice. I received a renovated room on the 4th floor & my stay was excellent! I highly recommend this hotel! Clean, quiet and a friendly staff. The headboard of the bed had a preprinted post it note stating, "Duvet Covers & Sheet Are Cleaned For Your Arrival." What a relief that a hotel has recognized that customers know about the many hotels who rarely change their bed covers. Kudos to this Hampton Inn!
I also liked that coffee and tea are available in the lobby at all hours of the day.
Though there are A LOT of chain restaurants in this area, there is a wonderful 24 hour super market (Martin's Food Market) near the hotel if you need to grab some food or get some emergency items you have forgotten to pack.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Hampton Inn Martinsburg is conveniently located off of I-81 in the charming city of Martinsburg, WV.

S&P TIMING UPDATE JUNE 6TH 0 comments
Jun 6, 2012 9:28 AM | about stocks: SPYYesterday the markets got CNBS to call for complete bail out of Europe and a leading FED official to call for massive stimulus accommodations.
No surprise this morning, despite back tracking from other FED officials and the ECB doing nothing, futures risk-on is still in play.
The question: Have we reached EW1 bottom?
EW suggest that sub wave five can or will equal sub wave one-as one clue. Looking at SPY we can see wave i was 7 points, and wave five has moved down 7 points to the 200 day moving average.
We have to assume it is possible that WAVE 1 has been completed.
In May, I posted this KAGI chart of the 2008 SPY bear move; suggesting that this is the road map that we should consider.
In 2008, a Presidential election year and the last bear market, the markets topped in May, and moved lower into ending WAVE 1-end of June, first of July.
Fibonacci sequence noted on the next SPY chart, suggest the 2008 scenario is still in play.
Starting at the top, day zero, the 8th day completed sub 2, the 13th day completed sub three.
The next FIB sequence is 21 days, which counts out to June 19th. Per FIB theory, SPY trend change wont be until the next FIB ending date of June 19th; 21 days past the last FIB ending time, 13 days.
EW theory allows for completion of EW1 when sub one equaled to sub five.
The 2008 bear road map and FIB number sequence suggest EW1 completion sometime around June 19th or early July; this is still our preferred scenario.

No! I am a homebody. Mail me a DVD and pop my corn in the microwave.+1I used to... we had a little theater downtown that played foreign flicks, animation festivals, old musicals and other things that the multiplex chains wouldn't touch. Good place to spend a rainy afternoon. They closed it down, of course.
Now, in a city of over 2 million people, we have about ten movies playing at any given time. :O( - HippiesKnowAll 2012/04/25 03:23:46
