A white dove flies gracefully across vision
Shines as transparent pieces of ivory joy
I give you a Candle of Love, for inspire and encourage you
Blown gently upon a soft warm lovely breeze
Falling slowly like a ripe apple
With sad confusion, I promise you heaven
Everything will fall into place and gives you, perfect pleasure of life
Love whispering on wings fluttering deep
It is possible to change your tomorrow, if you seek your dream today
To watch the light change i pray for your beauty to return
My arms are full of flowers, the beauty the unfathomable grace
Reborn under a promise of color inside the mist bouquet dream

-honestly...I have no clue why...-
As I began to rest in my fickle dream
Suddenly I was stirred from my sleep
I was greeted by many a whisker
And petulant snores from my sister
The cat mewed ferociously and purred
For there on the other side of the window—was a bird!
It chirped like a wobbly siren—the ass!
And I swear by my bosom it was pecking the glass
Suddenly, I sprang up in alarm
I swear my bosom was gone!
The cat then motioned at the feathered brat
For her bright breasts seemed extra fat
Of course it wouldn't have been that
But I couldn't just blame the cat!
I opened the window only a crack
And asked very kindly, "May I have my breasts back?"
Such pride she attained from my bosom
Yet why? –how would she use 'em!?
The mockingbird merely turned a goodbye
But the stolen twins were too heavy to fly!
She plopped to the ground and squawked
I would have laughed, but I was shocked!
The cat scratched at the window and with her eyes
Said, "Prithee, take your breasts—she's mine!"
Before I could think I had fallen to the ground
To a booming, most terrible sound!
My eyes then opened to a cat on my head
As the booming sound continued from my sister's bed

The day will come....
When I would touch the
Waves of the Air
I would fly with Birds
I would dance with Peacock
the day will come....
The day will come...
When i would swim with Ducks
I would sing with cuckoos
Where nobody will be there
to pull a full stop.
Where i would really enjoy my life
Where I'll not have the fear of the cruel
who will tear
my wings and destroy
my dreams...
I am looking for the day
just that day
when I'll be a Bird and
fly above the horizon
When I'll forget my past
and be the free ME!

Small bird take flight.
Open your wings, leave shelter behind.
Fear will ground you, riddle you weak.
Feel the winds, the rushing power in the breeze.
Allow the current to embrace you, ruffle your feathers as you chase the sun.
Free yourself from doubt.
Freedom is fluid.
Should I fall, how dreadful.
Should I be incapable of flight, my soul would rupture.
But should I soar, to touch the milky skyline, Oh how inspiring.
Even the smallest bird may take flight

In the intermediate zone between heaven and hell
opinions and complaints, after much moaning, may
come to be held in common.
The way a flock of chickadees
moves through the woods, cheerfully,
each bird taking a turn on point.
All meaning must be found, here, in the middle zone,
notwithstanding fears that rend and own us,
of dying unknown.
A Spring day
the flycatcher broke its neck against our bay window
nothing changed.
I buried it, somewhat reverently, in a shallow grave.
No differently, really, than I would a man
who'd died suddenly.
Who'd left footprints in the snow
which became wild lily-of-the-valley, running pine
then snow again in time.
After long enmity
Sally hugs me, asks if I've been happy.
A moment in a year.
February, the light is long, more direct.
It's meaningless, repetitious
but held dear.

A Chickadee flies from tree to tree,
an eagle soars over big blue skies,
Oh to be a bird to fly so free,
Where another dips and then pulls up to the sunrise.
A Robin gracefully lands on her nest,
She feeds to one,
and then to the rest,
While the babies chirp, the mother gazes to the sun.
Although planes too can fly,
the birds was designed by birth to soar,
and although planes too go high,
birds can swoop and twirl to heights galore.
But not only do they fly,
above clouds and such sorts,
for many can fly like, the butterfly,
but a birds instincts can tell him when to build his forts.
Sometimes I jump in plans to soar,
leaping off the edge of the table,
I jump and land upon the floor,
and somehow learn that, I am not able.
To end the thoughts of my outrageous dreams,
I'll say by simply telling you,
when I end my crazy schemes,
I guess being human will have to do.

Once a crow lived in the forest and
was absolutely satisfied in life.
One day, as he paced back and forth
his form flickering like flame,
saw a swan that was so white.
He asked the swan, " why I am so black
and you are so white?".
Swan replied him that he thought himself
so until he saw a parrot with two colors.
The crow then approached a parrot.
The parrot explained that he was happy
till he show the multiple colored peacock
The crow visited a peacock in the zoo
and saw him surrounded by hundreds of people.
When the people left, the crow said,
"You are so beautiful , everyday people
come to see and enjoy your beauty,
while people shoo me away as they see me".
The peacock replied, "Beauty and color
are the reasons why I'm entrapped in the zoo.
You are the only bird never kept in a cage.
I wish I were a crow happily roaming everywhere".
We want what we don't have it and
are trapped in the vicious circle of sadness

I am a fearless Kiskadee
Sitting on a branch of this tree
Singing my theme song happily
With a Kis Ka Dee Kis Ka Dee
I sing my song very sweetly
Seeking to make others happy
Filling them with ecstasy
With its rhythm and melody
My message is not to worry
Despite how things in life may be
Don't let them make you feel crazy
At all times, strive to be happy
One can state things that are likely
But no one knows what things will be
So keep your chin up cheerfully
And sing Kis Ka Dee Kis Ka Dee.
The Great Kiskadee (Pitangus Sulpharatus) is indigenous to Central and South America, the Caribbean and Southern Texas.

On a lovely sunny morn
Henry the lonely hedgehog
Awoke with sun as it reached dawn
As he heard some croaking frogs
With birds a chirping everywhere
And the frogs making their din
Henry, looking here and there
He gave a sleepy grin
He'd woke up from hibernation
All set for a brand new season
Looking forward to a new adventure
His waking gave him reason
To say 'hello' to all around
He felt real good today
He has a chat on the muddy ground
Then he went upon his way
As he strolled along the path
He saw old Polly Parrot
Old Polly he did make him laugh
He was chewing on a carrot
It's not the fool that parrots eat
But that's how Polly is
They both were happy so to meet
And spent their day in bliss

My favourite comics is the Peanuts strip
Featuring 'good grief' good old Charlie Brown
Reading it takes me on a pleasant trip
Especially when Snoopy is around
Charlie Brown's faithful beagle is Snoopy
They get along with each other quite well
He can be sneaky when he is ready
Yet, just when and where, you can never tell
When Linus, in one hand, holds his blanket
The thumb of his other hand in his mouth
Snoopy sneaks in, suddenly grabs hold of it
Then runs around, spinning him all about
Yellow Woodstock is Snoopy's feathered friend
He bounces up and down when he's flying
On Snoopy's friendship he needs to depend
He alone knows what Woodstock is saying
Snoopy flies off in his Sopwith Camel
To the skies to battle the Red Baron
They both engage in a fearsome duel
Each trying to outdo the other one
Snoopy dances around when he's happy
If Lucy is close by, she must watch out
He would dance up to her very closely
Lean over and then kiss her on the mouth
I am a heart full of love
that shook the pilars that held her colussium up
her heart filled with sorrow,
I swing such fury toward her heart and soul
she cowards away from me,
in fear of falling in love and not knowing what is in black
and not searching what is in the light of pure white.
I am a heart full of love,
she runs and takes the long dirt road,
through the raging mountains of the quiet countryside,
as the meadows of lilacs slowly die when Spring comes,
the blooming of the rose,
like the blooming of my heart,
a blossom on a cherry tree fall and harbour in the wintertime.
I swing toward her, she falls in fear of wanting attention and love.
Lost in the midnight twilight,
the flaming torch guides her through the dark holes of meaningless souls.
and like a frightened hummingbird,
she flees away from the secrets of falling in love.
A heart full of love ready to love,
it is diffcult to feel and to show,
but as if a rose that blooms in Springtime
my love is ready to bloom.
Pettles lay along a darkened atmosphere
lit up only with four wax candles
a portrait of a woman hung over a mantel piece
in honour of my one true love.
As the twilight shine though my bedroom window,
I show a heart full of love,
to take and to hold for eternity.
And as she slowly moves forward,
she takes me home with her,
and opens her chest and shows me her heart
with a glass of red wine and charming cigarette.
She sheads tears of pain and sorrow on my broud shoulder,
I curise her hair, silk laced hair,
shining against the twilight and the moonlit sky.
My heart full of love,
so divine, so original
a one of a kind.
We make love in the midst of the twilight,
as my dream girl is now reality and my pain is no more,
her pain is no more.
Too show such love makes a man feel free
and his soul lighter.
She holds him there,
as the sun rises over the mountains.
The birds sing a tune of cheerfulness,
and they talk about everything beautiful and kind,
that is still left in this cruel and empty hearted world.
Romance and love shared
with a heart full of love,
smile and kiss upon smooth lips,
feel me against your tight body,
and love me till the morning
when Blue eyed Death is staring us in the face.
and we go with him,
and play a game of risk,
and together forever,
onto a diffrent world
we shall love each other forever,
for you and I both have a heart full of love.

Bald Eagle
I am rowing my boat along Crimson Locke
Up high near the top of a crevice of rocks
My loyal companion does see a long beagle
Which we both then see is a nest of an eagle.
The eagle does turn and thrust its beak into its nest
Watching its young while they are all at rest
The eagle is a proud mom and spreads its proud wings
She's protecting the young of how her love sings.
She's gracious of beauty of all heavenly birds
God is out watching and talking of heavenly words.
The bald eagle soars up through the sky
To hunt for food to feed their young
So they can survive and not have to die.
God is protecting all living things
He gave the bald eagle majestic wings.

Hello you sweeties and you guys too
Hope you all have a fantastic day
It's the fervent wish I wish every day
Us Soupers must stay close I say
Support each other when we feel down
We're all susceptible to this quirk
Always look on the bright side of life
Don't worry if it's only a smirk
Gotta start somewhere, maybe a smirk
Soon you'll be giggling away
Greeting everyone with a cheery hello
Wishing them a sunshiny day
Attitude's the key, gotta think positive
To get through our daily routine
You guys help put a smile on my face
When your names pop up on my screen
Want you to know how much you mean
I'd be lost without your kind words
So a hug and a kiss to all you sweet peeps
You make me a happy old bird

High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I see a black and white checkered kite…
floating higher and higher than I, myself…
But, I was shoved
Into another shelf…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
2 birds were flying together in harmony… it made me smile
If only…I could fly another mile…
If only…I could higher my smile…
If only…I could fly higher
If only…I could taste ecstasy…
people would accuse me as a liar
If I experienced the best day of my life…
But, I don't wanna live with undying strife…
I want peace…
Hand it over, please…
Hand me the keys
So I could experience perpetual peace
I took flight like those bird couples…
But, I was on an airplane…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I wouldn't be greedy for gain…
I'm trying to act sane…
But, I'm actually insane
In many ways…I love my uniqueness…
And my stubbornness… and my gladness…
And my madness… my imagination goes wild
But, I need to put it on a leash…so I could remain mild
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'd feel the rain
Trickle down my hands…my wet, wrinkly hands
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
No one would understand
How awesome and wonderful I've felt that day…
Up there…
up there…I felt like a king…
But, now I lost that memory…I lost my ring
To success…but I'm willing to pick up my progress…
My pace…is slow like a snail's pace
Do you see me crying? Just look at my face…
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'm the clouds absorbing tears
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I'd be willing to release them…
but they've been stored up forever it seems
And…hell – I have been
Shaking with fear…
Breaking by the seams
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I was……..
Daydreaming again…
My mind was stuck on cloud 7…
Thank heavens
That I'm still alive – staring into space
Just look at my sopping face…
I see no grace…I see only a pathetic face
In the mirror…….
This little dream of mine
Was rather sublime
I was a sweet boy,
but now I'm sour like lime
If I were a bird,
I'd fly away from my problems...
I'll flutter away
Without a care in the world...
I want to be happy-go-lucky...
But, I'm bound to submit to my

As the first rays of sunshine
wakes me out of my sleepy slumber,
I sat up in bed and looked at my hands.
The taste of stale cigarette smoke of cheap red wine
stained my taste buds.
I walked out of bed,
turned on the radio
(to the classical station)
and my heart beats to the tune
my life and soul smile as the sun shines in my room.
I hear God whispering in my ear
I hear all the words of the world
talking to me,
and I can hear my heart sing a little.
I read my poetry,
get dressed go for a walk,
I smile at the faces that I pass;
The cars I pass,
the houses,
the trees,
the dry lawns,
burnt and that have not been watered in days.
I smile at them and they all smile back,
and my heart sings a little,
and I dance to its simple tune.
My heart sings and I dance too:
slowly melodies,
fast jigs,
rapid jazz and swing music
and waltzes to the chopin masterpieces,
and the romantic stories, novels, the poems,
that fancy your mind with its ryhme schemes,
and after I read such romantic beauty
I smile, and I listen closely to my heart,
and with every beat,
it lets out a verse or two, from a familiar song
that caught my ear on the radio,
and my heart sings
and I smile,
and the world smiles back.
Feeling such beauty
love and romance
it is such a good feeling to live with;
and as the night rolls on,
and the sun goes away
I sit at my desk
writing poetry,
with a cigarette slowly burning away with time,
and I am stuck,
getting drunk of red wine,
I sit back in my chair,
and listen to my heart,
and he sings alittle
and I can write again.
So, there we sit together,
writing poetry,
smoking cigarettes,
drinking wine
to the strike of nine
and we both sing songs of love and romance
together forever.
I stood confused in a hole so deep
So dark and miserable, cold and alone
Scared and fearful of the unknown
Nothing but grey clouds filled my sky
Filled with rain and thunderous roars
Deafening like a million slamming doors
Drowning out the real me
Like a caged up bird
Longing to be free
My last tears were spent
Done and dusted
On my last pretense.
I've dug, like never before
Fingers, tired bloody and sore
I've dug right down to my very core
Dirt under fingernails and a tear stained face
Fighting to get to my happy place
Dragging myself to the top of my pit
No longer content to be miserable
Not ready to give up, not ready to quit
On the caring shoulder which you gave me to lean
I've scrutinized things about myself I've never seen
From start to finish and all in between
You took my hand
And tenderly walked with me on the road of my soul
Never rushing or hasting
Just happy to stroll
With gentle nudges along the way
Just quietly listening to every word I had to say
With every word came down every defense
Till I was vulnerable and raw
And it finally made sense.
I'm going to sit so quiet and still
Listening to the whispers that once were a shrill
A screaming voice yearning to be heard
No more am I that caged little bird
No longer torn or broken down
No longer disrespected or pushed around
My grey clouds lifted, the sky finally clear
No more constraints that I have to adhere
Happy with the way I feel
Giving my heart time to heal
Time to spread my wings and fly
As one by one these binds untie
Satisfied knowing what will be, will be
Finally knowing its enough just to be me.......

All day she watches, feeding on greed,
but she would not pick any of the flowers.
These are flowers that fly and all but sing.
For flight and honey, dazzled so in quest of sweetness.
A bird, one that gathers its wings
and flies higher and higher.
This lovely flower fell to seed.
Work gently sun and rain.

A rich yellow Balloon,
happily adopted by a little man,
Balloon thinks hold my ribbon,
and I will guide you lovingly.
Suddenly a gust of wind,
and the little man seems smaller,
an outstretched arm and a tear,
and with that, Balloon is all alone.
A city tower stands tall,
Balloon only knows up,
reflections in the windows,
of a bald yellow face ascending.
Six floors up, grumpy giants,
suits pointing grumpy orders,
twenty, and an uptight woman spills coffee,
Balloon wanted to save her notes.
Higher now, a sign reads elevater,
a secret card game on the roof,
employees on look out,
Balloon chuckles, he won't tell.
Time stops as Balloon sets gaze on Sun,
blushes from her and an idea, lightbulb,
Balloon inhales, rises smooth to Sunset,
little man witnesses the pop.
Skin floats gently to ant city,
little man shudders, can't bare to look,
little man bursts into tears.

The Luckiest Bird Around
Strutting about ruffling my wings
As everyone else gathered around in rings
Seeing the farmer sharpening his cleaver with cheer
Made my body shake and fill with fear
I let out a screech and puffed out my chest
Oh! No! Not me, you're not getting close to my breast you pest
Kicking up dust and praying he wouldn't stop
But to my surprise, off my head wasn't chopped
To the freezer he went for a package of Rib-eye
I jumped with joy with a glimmer in my eye
Strutting around and dancing a hoedown jig
Maybe next year it will be the barnyard pig

happy Meadow Lark
filled my days with melody
in Dakota youth
were I to travel back there
would he be singing for me
happy was my lot
in my North Dakota land
worry and care free
as the melodious bird
was he the reason I thrived
could I find my way
in the land of my childhood
back to thrills and trills
would I be sad if my bird
had forgotten how to sing

Once there was a little duck
They called him Silly Dilly
He waddled here, he waddled there
He had a friend named Willy
One day it was the birthday of
That silly Dilly duck
He'd always wanted a brand new pen
And today he had some luck
Folk built for him a band new pen
And when he saw it there
He danced around with his friend Willy
And joy was everywhere
They had a party for our duck
And so much food was had
Balloons were hanging all around
And everyone was glad
They all had such a lovely time
Our duck was filled with glee
He loved that little pen they'd built
A happy duck was he
Ever since my parrot Greeny lost his companion,
he rarely warbled and sat in his cage to mourn;
his sad song indicated how lonely he was...
I wondered who could cheer him up for his loss.
I assumed that birds are ordinary pets without emotions and feelings,
that a cage is a safer home for them: wasn't I so wrong?
Perhaps that wasn't the main reason of his unhappiness,
so I got him a pink parrot who could sing with him the happiest song.
It's early June in lovely and peaceful Lindenwood embellished with emerald oaks
that seem undulating waves smothered by golden sun rays while Greeny
and Pinky sing harmonious chords rising to the balmy spring sky that offers
freedom, but no total safety for two happy parrots that have not known anxiety.
I love to watch Pinky exchanging kisses with Greeny:
see those tiny and warm eyes that long for closeness getting tender;
Don't they wish to fly into a big sky being constantly afraid of a predator?
Chirp happily, little birds...live your day with harmony!

Alone I sit
staring at the cold grey sky
All around
winter's handiwork
so silent
so beautiful
fills the land
Drifting lazily upwards
pillars of smoke
rise ghost-like
from the chimneys
On the ground below
the freshly fallen snow
so quiet, so fragile
instils deep peace
within my soul
Standing alone in the distance
a church steeple
points majestically towards the sky
in silent testimony
of its God
Nothing stirs -
the sparrows have gone to bed
this cold winter's evening
dreaming pleasant dreams
of tomorrow's spring
when new life will take form
in Nature's world
or perhaps they dream
of yesterday's summer
when they flitted happily
from tree to tree
dancing in the sunshine
so happy to be alive
and free
Yet, dream on
my little friends
for even while you dream
cold winter must reign
a little while longer
still blessing the earth
with her deep silent beauty
--- as now the snow begins to fall
once more

Heard that the early bird catches the worm
By now I should have a real big batch
I'm always up at the crack of dawn
With a feeling of exhilaration unmatched
Joyfully welcoming that big yellow ball
Singing some happy little ditty
Even if I won a million dollars in the lotto
Couldn't be happier, well maybe an itsy bitsy
Wish everybody could feel this amazing joy
The world would be a much happier place
No wars no conflict just pure sweet love
Wearing a perpetual smile on your face
Seems like forever I've been called a dreamer
I wouldn't want it any other way
Just can't imagine how some people feel
Wearing a sad frown every day
Heard that the early bird catches the worm
Well I certainly believe that it's true
Just start every day with a happy little song
And the sun will shine brightly on you

To relish in the comfort of you
To lay behind you,against your broad shoulders,
Or hide away between your arm & chest
I want to close my eyes against you
And in silence, just be with you
Hear your breathing and take in your scent.
I want one last time to memorize it all.
I want one last glance at your face.
One last chance to see the fire that burns in your eyes,
To be amazed by your magnificent smile,
To see all the little imperfections that make your face beautifully perfect to me.
I want one last kiss from your lips.
To taste you in your purest form,
To feel the energy that fuels my love for you.
Just one last time.
I want to hear your voice one last time.
To hear you say little familiar things that will always remind me of you.
To hear your hearty laughter echoing in my ears.
One last time, I'd like to hold your hands.
Feel them entertwined within mine.
Feel them shake and steady in their warmth,
Contemplating how empty mine will feel from now on.
I want one last day with you.
To live in the moments of that day.
To share with you, to feel with you, to be happy.
The catch of course, is that I want that day to never end.

People will lose the incentive to go to college. Why bother work on a 2 year degree if You can get $15 without even trying to pursue an education. The minimum wage has to be low enough to entice people to pursue a college degree. And those who have a degree and are making around $15 are not happy that they studied and attended classes and have college loans while this new wave of people who want handouts may surpass the college educated with a simple signature from the governor. Remember: if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime.

I'm with wmarincic. Teachers require a masters degree. Teachers in my district start at $16.82 per hour. The minimum wage was not intended to be a living wage. It is for teens to have some spending cash and learn how to balance their finances; and, it is for retirees to keep them active. Unless all other professions receive a proportional raise, the $15 minimum should fail. Of course, it is not practical to give the entire state a raise - so that point is moot. Raising the wage will increase unemployment and overwork the remaining employees - local businesses can not afford to pay at this rate. They will have to downsize yet keep up the productivity with fewer workers, or they will have to raise their retail prices and the customers will stop coming. Free money is not free.

There are only 2 fewer math questions. And, the test counts double for teachers. Teachers will receive their APPR scores based on the old scoring system and the new system. By the way, nobody has ever been made privy as to how those scores are calculated - there is some mystery mathematical formula.

Dear Mr Bill Buell: one of your facts is wrong. It is too late to change parties for the primary in April. In January, I sent in a change of party from Independent to Republican. I was in formed that I am not officially a republican until after the November election. In order to vote in the April primary, I would have had to submit my change form by early October 2015. I am outraged! I did some research on the matter. New York has the longest waiting period to change parties. I feel like I feel like I am being denied my right to vote. It is ridiculous that all states have different rules for something so important. The NY system gives democrats an advantage as only "new" voters can register by the Marvh deadline - and we all know the majority of new voters are young -and the majority of young voters favor the Democratic Party (and this year that means Bernie Sanders has an advance with NYs voter registration rules).

Camera shake can be a real hassle and pain when shooing off a tripod. Sometimes camera shake can be completely eliminated with a couple of simple steps and other times, it can be quite painful and sometimes even impossible to deal with. How does one reduce camera shake? Are remote shutter releases helpful in reducing camera shake? Is it possible to eliminate it completely? Since I see this issue so often in the field, I decided to write a detailed article that deals specifically with the challenges of dealing with camera shake when shooting from a tripod.
Advanced Post-Processing Tips: Three-Step Sharpening
Sharpening remains a particularly confusing topic among photographers, especially given the tremendous number of post-processing options available. Some post-processing software has so many options that it is hard to know where to start; others do not let you use optimal methods in the first place. If you are trying to use the best sharpening settings – including the lowest possible levels of noise and other artifacts – the ideal method is three-step sharpening.
How to Choose the Sharpest Aperture
Photographers have a dilemma. If you want your photographs to have the largest possible depth of field – from the foreground to infinity – a small aperture is absolutely necessary. At the same time, though, a small aperture causes your photograph to lose sharpness from diffraction. So, where's the sweet spot? In this article, I will cover how to choose the sharpest possible aperture for such a photograph, including mathematically accurate charts (free for printing) that are easy to use in the field.
How to Read MTF Charts
When my article on field curvature was published a while ago, where I talked about how one could do a quick analysis of lens MTF data and determine if it exhibits any field curvature, some of our readers expressed interest in understanding how to read MTF charts. Since we talk quite a bit about lens performance and MTF data here at Photography Life, I decided to write a detailed article on the subject and do my best to thoroughly explain everything related to MTF curves, charts and all the verbiage that comes with them.
How to Properly Sharpen Images in Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom comes with powerful tools to sharpen images during post-processing. Located in the Develop module of Lightroom, the "Detail" box contains both Sharpening and Noise Reduction tools that allow Photographers to enhance their digital workflows by fine-tuning images and getting them ready to be published and printed in a quick and efficient way. Since I have already covered the noise reduction part in my Noise Reduction Tutorial, in this article, I will show you how to properly use the Sharpening tool instead.
How to Take Sharp Photos
One of the things that makes photography frustrating, is softness and blur in pictures. Sharp photos are much more appealing than soft images. It is very disappointing when you take a picture at a special moment and images come out soft/blurry or out of focus. In this article, I will go through the techniques that I use to make sure that my images always come out tack sharp.

This institute is structured primarily for teachers new to the AP Physics C course with three years or less experience teaching the curriculum. Participants at this summer institute will focus their efforts on understanding the forms of response students are expected to provide on both Free Response questions and Multiple Choice questions. They will investigate a question from the 2015 AP C Mechanics test in detail developing a comprehensive answer to all parts, designing a scoring rubric, comparing that rubric to the officially released version, and using the official rubric to score students samples from the 2015 Reading. Additional work will allow participants to develop a sense of the scope of the C-Mechanics course and develop and use basic mechanics lab exercises both in the classroom and through online simulation websites. If time and participant interest allow, some work will be done with the AP Physics 1 and/or AP Physics C-Electricity & Magnetism courses as well. A comprehensive set of ancillary resources will be shared with all participants that will include editable versions of all released free response questions from 1976 through 2013 as well as the complete multiple choice tests from 1984, 88, 93, 98, and 2004 for both Physics B and C.
- Scientific calculator (TI-84 style will be used and modeled)
- Laptop onto which software can be loaded (some school machines are locked down)
- An electronic copy of your favorite student lab to share with other participants

Getting confused about Binary Options Signals? Well, do not get confused. It is very easy to understand. First of all, the thing to keep in mind is that what are binary options signals actually all about? Now, not making it complicated, for an easy understanding, binary option signals are some sort of indicators, notifying you about the profitable financial assets to invest your money and trade in.
For more info, click on the banc de binary review here.
Association of binary options signals with binary options trading has become so obvious, that a number of signal service providers are popping up with best services for the traders. You have to get registered to them in order to get signals from the service providers. You will pay monthly subscriptions fees every month for the service to be continued each month.
You will get 10 or more signals per day. The amount of signals received depends on how many binary options signals your signal service provider has done an agreement to provide you.
The binary options signal is in a very easy format. It usually comprises of 4 main things; Asset's name, Type of Option (Call/Put), Expiration time and Reliability.
Asset's Name:
There are different types of assets for trading. It includes currency, stocks, commodities, real estate. Asset Name tells you about which asset to trade in. For Example: 'Gold', so you will use this signal for gold trading.
Type of option:
The option that you have to choose, whether 'call' or 'put' will be specified by the service provider. For Example: In 'Gold' trading you have to select 'Put'.
Expiration Time:
The time in minutes or hours will be mentioned here. For Example: 5 minutes. It means you have to quickly take action before the expiration time of that particular trade. The point to consider here is that 5 minutes of time starts from the time you got the signal from service provider. For Example: If you received a signal at 9:15 A.M and the expiration time mentioned here is 5 minutes. So, you have to trade within these 5 minutes before 9:20 A.M., because at 9:20 A.M the trade on that asset will be closed and your signal will be no more of any use.
Here reliability means it is the reliability of signal provided for the trade. It will tell you about the probability of the signal accuracy. It gives you the trust to risk your money or not. It also indicates that how much a signal service provider himself is assured about the signal he provided.
As I discussed under the heading 'Expiration Time', the time mentioned under expiration time is the time your particular signal will work for you. The countdown starts from the time you get your signal. However, all signals expire at different times mentioned by your service provider. The expiration time period varies from 5 minutes to 24 hours, different for every signal.

It was good in theory but did nothing for me. I am not suffering from dark circles however the promise of brighter skin around the eye area was enticing and intriguing to see. The product creases after some time and does not really melt into the skin for a flawless finish. Will not purchase it again.

OK I had to write a review on this product after seeing all of the negative reviews on here-- I used to feel the exact same way about this product (aka this product doesn't do anything for my eye area) so I stopped using it and forgot about it UNTIL one day I woke up with really puffy eyes from crying the night before (it happens!) and for some reason decided to try it out. After trying so many other methods over the years (eye gels, cold spoons under the eyes, ice cubes etc.) to de-puff my eye area, I was surprised that this ACTUALLY worked! And my eye area wasn't like slightly puffy either--they were seriously swollen looking (I looked like I cried my eyes out the night before).
It should be advertised as a de-puffing product and NOT a brightening product (since it doesn't really brighten on make you look more awake--it sort of just leaves a white cast on your eye area). But when it comes to de-puffing and making your eyes look normal again after an emotional night (usually during that time of the month) or a night when you haven't slept at all, this works! Now I will continue to re-purchase for this reason only--no other product can de-puff my eye area (both on the lids and under the eye) like this one.

I purchased it in sephora with a discount just to try this ooh la lift in my eyes.No difference at all.Not even a hint of what i was supposed to see.I was aware that it is not a concealer but i was expecting at least to highlight the area.

I'm actually surprised at the extremely negative reviews this has. It's not a concealer, so of course it's not going to cover anything! What it's meant to do is be applied under your concealer, over your concealer, or mixed in with your concealer to add extra brightness. I really really love this product, a lot! After using it, I really don't think I could ever go without it again. The way I use it is I apply some to the back of my hand (roughly 2 full swipes) and then apply half the amount of concealer I would normally use, and then blend the two together, and oh my gosh the results are incredible. Not only does it slightly lighten my concealer and makes it more brightening, it also sheers it out a little bit, and for some reason, whenever I mix this product with my concealer, my concealer NEVER creases and ALWAYS looks flawless. Before I started using this my concealer would always look really obvious, cakey and dry, no matter which one I used. This product is holy grail status to me, and I think if some of you try the mixing method I suggested, you will feel the same!

Not blown away by this, it brightens under eyes a little bit and when set with a bit of powder, it lasts! I tend to pat it on and not rub in, to create a brightening effect. It doesn't seem to clump or crease. But it's not a miracle worker, but can create that lovely light, bright under eye look.

I have had this product for a few months, my mom had it and she didn't want it so I had it, I tried it out, it works more like a primer for concealer or foundation! It's invisible, but it hydrates the skin.. Before using it my under eyes where quite dry but after using this product everyday under my actual concealer / powder my under eyes are smooth and feel normal, I bit blotchy, but definitely better than before!! I recommend it but don't buy it again.. 1 tube of the stuff is enough 👌

This product is pretty neat. I'm certainly not blown away, but this product does its job. It's nice and cooling and does a decent job at highlighting the inner and outer corners of my eyes. The only issue is that this is very thin and watery and does not last a long time.

Oct. 19, 2011
By JANET CAPPIELLO LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Ed Reinke didn't think of his job so much as taking photos, but rather as creating them. When the award-winning Associated Press photographer grabbed his camera and headed out to an assignment, he would tell his colleagues, "I am going to make a picture."
Whether it was Kentucky Derby horses training on a chilly spring morning, a bumblebee hovering near a flower on his beloved farm or a quarterback celebrating a Super Bowl touchdown, the AP photojournalist viewed the world as a series of pictures. His profession was journalism; his gift was telling a story in one frame.
"I saw a picture and went and got my camera," Reinke would often say.
The Associated Press photographer for Kentucky, who traveled the world shooting news and sports images, died late Tuesday, his family said. He had been hospitalized since Oct. 2, when he fell and suffered a head injury while covering the IndyCar race at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta.
In the weeks that followed, dozens of Reinke's colleagues around the United States rallied around him via a Facebook page where they shared photos and stories of the man remembered universally for his warm smile and twinkling eyes. The page, "To Ed Reinke," had been started several years ago, an online place where far-flung photographers shared photos of themselves toasting a man who had been a colleague, friend and mentor to many since he started his photojournalism career in 1972.
"Those he could trust to shoot decent pictures for freelance assignments became known as 'Reinke's kids,' a close-knit group of local newspaper photographers bent on validating his trust," said John Flavell, former photo editor at The Daily Independent in Ashland, Ky. "Actually, he built a network of trust among newspaper photographers and we help each other out within that network to this day. He was the hub of a very close-knit community."
At Kentucky Speedway on Oct. 2, Reinke was with freelance photographer James Crisp, who as a college student began working for Reinke in 1994. Crisp said as the two were headed out to shoot the race, Reinke glanced at his watch and said "I have time to smoke."
"I said, 'I thought you quit smoking.' And he kind of smiled and said, "I did.'"
Crisp went to one end of the track, and Reinke headed to the other. That was the last time Crisp saw him, he said.
During more than 25 years with Kentucky AP, Reinke often was selected for assignments across the world: Super Bowls, World Series championships, Final Fours, Summer and Winter Olympics, Masters and PGA championships, the Indy 500, President Bill Clinton's first inauguration and Hurricane Andrew. He had not missed a Kentucky Derby since 1988.
Reinke was AP's lead photographer for virtually every major news event in Kentucky's modern history, including the Aug. 27, 2006, crash of Comair Flight 5191 that killed 49 at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport and the 1988 Carrollton bus crash, which killed 24 children and three adults in the nation's deadliest drunken-driving collision.
His career spanned revolutionary changes in the way photos were produced and transmitted to AP members worldwide, from the days of black-and-white pictures produced in a darkroom to today's digital color images sent by the Internet minutes after being taken.
Edward J. Reinke was born in Indiana, graduated from Northwestern High School in Howard County, Ind., and attended Indiana University.
He began his photojournalism career at the Cincinnati Enquirer, starting as an intern in 1972 and becoming a full-time staffer in 1973. In 1979, he went to work for AP in Cincinnati and three years later transferred to the Washington, D.C., bureau.
He rejoined the Enquirer in 1983 and was named director of photography in 1984.
He returned to The Associated Press in Louisville on Aug. 31, 1987, becoming AP's first staff photographer in Kentucky in 25 years.
"More than any other person, Ed gets the credit for establishing a top-tier photo report for Kentucky," said Teresa Wasson, AP news editor for Tennessee and Kentucky. "When AP needed a picture in the state, Ed either shot it or he was on the phone, working his network of newspaper photographers and freelancers to get the photo."
In one week in September 1989, Reinke traveled to tiny Wheatcroft in western Kentucky to cover the nation's deadliest coal mine disaster in five years, back to Louisville to cover what was then the worst workplace shooting in U.S. history at the Standard Gravure printing plant and then to McKee in eastern Kentucky, where a high school student held 11 hostages during a standoff with police. "No one worked harder — nor drove farther — than you did," Ed Staats, then chief of bureau in Louisville, said in a letter of commendation to Reinke.
Reinke won numerous awards from the Associated Press Sports Editors, including the 1992 Thomas V. DiLustro award for excellence in sports photography. He received Best of Show in 2000 in the Baseball Hall of Fame photo contest for his picture of Hank Aaron and Willie Mays saluting Ted Williams at the All Century Team celebration during the World Series. AP named him Kentucky staffer of the year in 1996. In 1997, AP published a photo package and story by Reinke documenting the cycle of tobacco farming and its impact in Kentucky.
He was predeceased by his father, Ervin F. Reinke, and brother, Jerry L. Reinke. He is survived by his mother, Margaret L. Harmon Reinke; wife, Tori, and two sons, Wilson and Graham

Tutoring helps schools rise
By DEBBIE BURT MYERS
, Managing Editor

Philadelphia schools improved from a "D" to a "C" under the state Department of Education's accountability model by closely utilizing "data driven instruction" and the aid of tutors.
Neshoba schools went from a "C" to a "B" because teachers and administrators analyzed data collected on students and implemented the necessary changes to bring about improvements.
Union schools were one of 18 in the state to be given an "A," which officials attributed to setting higher expectations on students who responded positively.
The accountability model measures student performance on rigorous curricula and assessments. Schools and districts received performance classification letter grades of "A," "B," "C," "D" and "F."
Results from the 2012-13 school year were released on Friday.
Lee Ann Fulton, acting superintendent for the city schools, credited "data driven instruction" for the district's improvement. She noted that a higher number of students scored at the proficient and advanced levels in math in grades third through eighth. Math scores were especially high in the seventh grade.
In addition, volunteers organizing a Parents for Public Schools chapter helped tutor students in the city schools, sparking improvements as well.
District and school classifications included achievement and academic growth or improvement. Achievement is measured by the Quality of Distribution Index (QDI), with the minimum QDI zero and the maximum at 300. The state's QDI is 168, up from 162 in 2012.
Growth, on the other hand, is based on whether students demonstrate performance equal to or better than expected based on how they performed the previous school year. U.S. history and grades 5 and 8 science were included in the achievement component this year.
The Philadelphia Public School District met growth during the 2012-13 school year.
The elementary, middle and high school were individually rated "C." The elementary and middle schools met growth. The high school did not meet growth.
The city school district had a 65.8 percent five-year graduation rate and a 85.9 percent four-year graduation rate.
Fulton said the city school district was "celebrating" its success.
Volunteers helped tutor students, sparking improvements in both reading and math, she said.
"They would come one day a week on their lunch breaks and tutor at the elementary and middle schools," Fulton said. "That really impressed the students."
Had the city school district met growth at the high school, it would have moved to a "B" rating, she said.
"We want to build on the momentum," Fulton said.
She, along with co-acting superintendent of education Christie Rowcliff, said they were especially proud of the administrators, staff, faculty, students and parents for all their hard work.
The Neshoba County School District also met growth.
Broken down, Neshoba Elementary and High School received a "C."
The middle school received a "B."
Neshoba Middle met growth but the elementary and high school did not.
The county school district's five-year graduation rate is 83.1 and the four-year graduation rate is 85.9 percent.
Neshoba Superintendent Tommy Dearing said he was very pleased with his district's "B" rating.
He credited the hard work of "teachers, administrators and staff along with the hard work of students and the support of the parents" to move the district forward.
"The teachers and administrators did a good job of analyzing the data and making changes where they needed to be made. We made improvements almost across the board. We have some areas we are going to concentrate on this current school year and move the district on forward."
The Union Public School District includes about 200 students from Neshoba County.
Ray Perry, interim superintendent at Union, said he was proud of his district's accomplishment.
"We missed growth by 39-thousandths of a point at our middle school," he said. "We are happy.
"We are going to get the middle school scores up this year. That is our objective."
Perry credited the students, teachers, principals, support staff and parents with the achievement.
"We have high expectations,"he said. "The kids know we expect them to do well and they respond to that. We were real pleased."
The Union School District's met growth overall.
Broken down by schools, Union Elementary and High School received an "A" and met growth.
Union Middle School received a "C" and did not meet growth.
The Union School District had a five-year graduation rate of 77 percent and a four-year graduation rate of 88.4 percent.
The 2013 statewide results reflect a five-year trend of increasing numbers of top-performing schools and decreasing numbers of lower performing schools.
The letter grading system will provide communities a clear understanding of how their schools and districts are performing upon full implementation of the more rigorous college- and career-ready standards in 2014-15.

Economic Snapshot
Source: The World Bank
Note: Percentile ranks are calculated using the latest available data for all countries within the last 5 years.
How to interpret the graph: The purpose of this graph is to take a snapshot of a country's economy in comparison to other economies. For example, Kenya's Exports rank is higher than (please wait...) of the countries in the dataset. For Exports, FDI and GDP measures, a higher rank (closer to 100%) indicates a stronger economy. Conversely, for Unemployment and Inflation, a lower rank (closer to 0%) indicates a stronger economy.
