Money Management – The most important part of winning
In my opinion the importance of good money management while betting is THE most important factor to becoming a long term winner. Picking winners is great, but no one wins all of the time, no matter how good they are.
So what do I mean by money management? Well, to me money management is the art of keeping your losses to a minimum so that you bank is never affected too much by a single day of losses. Not only that but it is making sure, as best you can, that your bank grows over time. Bank growth is where the issue appears for most people.
Lets take a very common example…

Think about a few facts.
The internal combustion engine has increased in efficiency only fractionally.
When you look at cubic feet per minute of air fuel mixture the results are disappointing.
One third of the energy produced in the power stroke is lost to the compression stroke.
Another third is lost in the exhaust stroke.
Therefore only one third of the energy produced in the power stroke is directed to the wheels to move the car.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by RaleighBiker Sturdy bike... doesn't take much effort to ride an hour while watching TV. DELIVERY: This may be important to you. The box (the size of half a twin mattress) weighs about 110-20 lbs. UPS just leaned it against the house. We dragged it to the garage to unbox. UNPACKING: To get the thing in the house, I unboxed it in the garage and took the pieces into the house to the staging area. Only the core piece will likely need two people. It's not that heavy by itself, but awkward to pick up. You'll have a lot of foam board to recycle. PUTTING IT TOGETHER: The instructions are very clear. Take your time and at the end make sure to hand tighten all the pieces. I used a small rechargeable screwdriver with its allen bits. Went a lot faster, but use their tool to do the final tightening (make it very tight per Schwinn) Don't forget the front base that they said not to tighten all the way early in about step 2 but never mentioned it again. There's a misleading insert picture showing the foot "pedals" needing to be even. Schwinn technical support said to ignore it. They meant to illustrate that the pedals when independently fully extended should both be the same distance from the floor. Postpone putting the right-sided control rod on the unit until you are sure you can maneuver it through doors, around cabinets, etc. It's easy to do snap and screw in later. I put the cup holder on last so it wouldn't get in the way. USING IT: I'm not sure if it's my body size (5'4") or short legs, but, I thought at its best adjustment, my knees bent more than I was expecting. If I get what I think is the correct extension, my foot is "off" the pedal when fully extended. This may not be a factor for others, but would suggest you find a 520 in a gym and try it before making the investment. I'll be okay, but it was something I wasn't expecting. I may add some padding to the pedals to reduce the bending of my injury-susceptible knees. I'm getting the exercise I want. PRO: Seems very solid, pretty quiet. Using the front floor bar, you can easily lift and wheel the unit into a location. (Rollers on back crossbar). Smooth operation even at faster revolutions. CON: The left control rod (and iPod/tablet holder) doesn't adjust. You can't angle it closer for easier reading. The electronic display isn't useful for me. I know how "fast" and how long I'm on the machine. I don't need it to set goals, etc. I haven't tested the heart rate yet. Biggest CON is that you can't make the wheel harder to turn for a more strenuous ride. All you can do is ride faster. But a little faster works for me. I don't need to race on it. December 25, 2014

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 65 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3modestgirls very cute The top fits great. Maybe it could be a bit longer in the front. Or maybe it's just that the bottoms are a bit loose on my daughter and slouch down a little, making the top seem shorter. Great quality, print, vibrant colors. April 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by gertndrew Nice suit It is a well made suit. I love that the top is lined so it is not see through and has been wore several times already and shows no signs of wear. August 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frankie28 Worth the investment! I purchased this top in a "strawberry dot" size 6 for my 4.5 year old with a long torso (she typically wears a size 5/6 in clothing). The color is beautiful and the suit is still soft, unfaded and holding it's elasticity after wearing it almost daily for 6 days in the Caribbean. Of note, the color does continue to fade after multiple washings so be careful not to lay it wet on lighter clothing. March 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pleased54 So Happy With My Purchase! I love the quality of this swimsuit!! So very happy with it! She loved the pattern and I am thrilled with the quality of your swimsuits! March 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sunnyweathermom Worn again and again and again! Purchased a size 4 for my 3year old daughter who is 33lbs and 38in tall. She picked out the ice cream patten herself. The bottoms fit her perfect with a little give around the backside and the top fits well through the chest, but is a bit long on her and almost covers her entire bikini bottom when pulled fully down. That just means we can wear it for another season! It is easy to put on and I love that the straps crisscross in the back and don't put any pressure on her neck. She has worn this suit all day from sun-up to sun-down it is so comfortable to her. We are in the pool at least 4-5 times a week and she has only wanted to wear this bathing suit every time! I am not surprised because she gets compliments on it everywhere we go and people are always asking me where I purchased it. It has stood up well to the sand, sun, mud, salt, and chlorine and it always washes out clean and looks like it was just bought. We have worn this suit at least 20 days this season alone and still don't have any pilling in the backside area. We bought this one during a promotional sale, but it is worth its full price value and I will be purchasing another one for an upcoming vacation. Definitely a must have suit for the summer. March 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hopper4 Fantastic product - I am a repeat purchaser Love these tops and ruffle skirts. Have purchased three times for my older daughter and am now buying for my younger daughter too. We love that the pattern options change to give us new mix and match choices, but other than that please don't change a thing! We'll keep buying them every year. February 20, 2015

Today in history
On May 13, 1973, tennis stars Bobby Riggs and Margaret Court face off in a $10,000 winner-take-all challenge match.
The 55-year-old Riggs, a tennis champion from the late 1930s and 40s who was notoriously skeptical of women's talents on the tennis court, branded the contest a "battle of the sexes."
Here's the rest of the story:
Today — End of the wind…partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. East winds 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight — And the beginning of rain… Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the evening…then scattered showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s.

- Abstract
- Silicone hydrogel contact lenses, which have been a major advance in the field of vision correction, require surface modification or coatings for comfort and biocompatibility. While current coatings show adequate clinical performance, advanced coatings may improve the biocompatibility of contact lenses further by reducing biofouling and related adverse clinical events. Here, we have produced coatings on Lotrafilcon A contact lenses by deposition of a thin film of allylamine plasma polymer (ALAPP) as a reactive interlayer for the high density grafting of poly(ethylene oxide) dialdehyde (PEO(ALD)2), which had previously shown complete resistance to protein adsorption in vitro. The performance of these contact lenses was evaluated in a controlled clinical study over 6h using Focus® Night and Day™ (also known as Air Optix® Night & Day®) contact lenses as control lenses. Surface modified lenses were characterised by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) before and after wear. Clinical data showed a high level of biocompatibility of the PEO coated lenses equivalent to control lenses. Surface analysis of worn contact lenses demonstrated that the high density PEO coating is effective in reducing biofouling in vivo compared to control lenses, however small amounts of protein deposits were still detected on all worn contact lenses. This study highlights that elimination of biofouling in vivo can be much more demanding than in vitro and discusses issues that are important for the analysis of worn contact lenses as well as the design of improved contact lenses.

- Nano-textured metallic surfaces for optical sensing and detection applications

- Abstract
- This work describes fabrication of three-dimensionally nano-textured silicon surface structures metalized by thin gold films, and their application for optical sensing and detection of solute molecules utilizing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Two types of sensitive surfaces were prepared by different techniques. The first of them was a checkerboard pattern of 3D nanoblocks defined in compact areas on the surface of a silicon wafer using highly accurate electron-beam lithography (EBL) technique, and fabricated by dry reactive-ion etching (RIE) technique with subsequent metalization of the surface by gold sputtering. The second type of sensitive surface consisted of a square array of nano-apertures, defined on a large area of the silicon surface by a less accurate but simpler ultraviolet holographic lithography, and subsequently fabricated in a sequence of dry and wet etching as well as gold sputtering steps. The fabricated structures were found to exhibit significant near-field enhancement, as evidenced by strong SERS signal from the sensors immersed in aqueous pyridine solutions with concentrations as low as 10 -9 M due to the presence of well-defined 3D periodic texture of the structure.

^^^ Thats quality thread you started. great stuff. lots of usefull info and great inside stuff. anyone know if tracy is balling tonight?
Our New York Knicks (19-36, 13th in the east) face off against the Boston Celtics (35-19, 3rd in the east)
At the poor mans TD Garden, what a ****in ugly piece of ****
Tonight the Knicks travel to Boston for the first of a 2 game road trip. After last nights pathetic performance in front of the Knicks 1970 Championship Legends, they will be trying to claw back some credibility against their Atlantic Division rivals.
Last night the Knicks played the second game with their new lineup, and were handed one of their worst losses of the season by the Milwaukee Bucks, in front of Knicks Legends like Walt Frazier, Willis Reed and Bill Bradley. The Knicks scored a season low 67 points for the game after showing flashes of brilliance in their Saturday night game against the Thunder. Coach Mike D'antoni said of last night's loss "we weren't real familiar with what we were doing and with each other. The first night we ran on adrenaline and kind of got through it.". It certainly showed last night as the Knicks offense was stagnant, with Rodriguez taking a team high 5 shots in the first quarter, Knicks regulars Chandler and Gallinari looked shy out there, passing up looks and deffering to the experience of Lee and McGrady.
New Knick T-Mac was the brightest star for the Knicks on the night, scoring a team-high 15 points but shooting an inefficient 5-14 from the field. He left the game early with sore knees after knocking them a couple of times in the game. The Knicks will hope to have his presence available tonight against the Celtics as they look to break their 7 game losing streak.
David Lee provided another double-double performance with 12 points and 13 rebounds, but fans were disappointed by his usual lack of interior defense which allowed the 7-foot star of the night, Andrew Bogut, to drop 24 points along with 20 rebounds. Bogut punished the Knicks early with a near double-double in the first quarter alone, on 14 points and 9 rebounds. The Knicks seem to be lost in the paint after the departure of Jared Jefferies who provided a defensive hustle that the Knicks have not replaced, they will need a gameplan tonight to stop the Celtics bigs Garnett and Perkins.
D'antoni made one good decision on the night, benching Chris Duhon in favour of the energizing Sergio Rodriguez. While not posting impressive offensive stats due to the lack of cohesion between the Knicks scorers, he did record a career high 8 steals to keep things close. The Knicks tied the game at 51 midway through the third on the back of one of these steals, but eventually the game slipped away. Rodriguez will be looking to prove himself against one of the East's premier PGs tonight as he matches up with Rajon Rondo.
Chandler and Gallinari were both disappointing yet again, the Knicks will look for them to regain form if they are to have any chance against the soaring Celtics, who won 3 out of 5 on their West Coast road trip including impressive victories against the Lakers and the Blazers.
The Celtics have not been without fault this year however, currently sitting 3rd in the East just shy of Orlando at 1.5 games back, age seems to be catching up with them. "The Big Three" of Garnett, Pierce and Allen have a combined 38 years of NBA experience between them, but also the legs that go with it. The Knicks will look to utilize the speed of their offense and the young legs of Rodriguez, Gallo, Chandler and Lee to tire out the Celtics and bring home the W.
Pierce along with McGrady is also doubtful for tonight's game, probably resting a sore thumb.
The backstory to this game will also intrigue fans, after New York and Boston traded their respective scoring-spark guards Nate Robinson and Eddie House on deadline day. House had a less than stellar performance against Milwaukee but who can blame him when you look at the overall performance of the team. He seemed visibly disappointed with the trade but put on a great debut performance against the Thunder, overshadowed only by Mcgrady's star factor in front of the packed MSG crowd. Nate Robinson is yet to make his Celtics debut, but should see playing time tonight after winning his 3rd Slam Dunk crown last weekend in Dallas. Nate will be looking to get his own back on Coach D'antoni. After a 14 game stretch of DNP's back in December, he certainly has something to prove. Knicks fans will be hoping his overexcitement will be his downfall as it was on several occasions in New York.
Although many criticized the Knicks on this trade, you have to wonder if Boston are clutching at straws here. After last years failed Marbury experiment they are taking a big chance on another controversial Knicks guard. Will it pay off for them? It's doubtful but time will tell.
Sergio Rodriguez (C+) VS Rajon Rondo (A-)
Hopefully Sergio can drop a few dimes tonight if the Knicks start to click offensively, and with Boston's interior being a step slower than Bogut he might have an easier time around the rim.
Rajon Rondo will look to continue his near double-double performance for the Celtics tonight, scoring 14 and dishing a cool 9.7 on the season he has cemented his place as an elite PG in the East. Not always pretty, but always effective.
Tracy McGrady (?) (A) VS Ray Allen (A)
All Knicks fans will have their fingers crossed that T-Mac is feeling in shape after leaving the game last night with sore knees, if on form, he could carry the Knicks tonight.
Ray has dropped the ball a bit this season, his scoring average dropping to just 16 PPG. However he is still a deadeye shooter especially from 2 land and the line.
Wilson Chandler (B-) VS Paul Pierce (?) (A)
"Ill Will" needs to get back to his explosive 15-5-5 performances that saw the Knicks riding high back in December, lately he's looked weak out there, hopefully our young Knicks are getting fired up for this David vs Goliath matchup.
Pierce has held the C's on his back a few times this season, with Allen and Garnett both seeing stretches of injury. He's certainly not got the same explosiveness of years past but his experience and nose for the ball gives him an edge. The self titled "best player in the league" probably won't even see HOF status but rest assured that won't stop his delusion.
Danilo Gallinari (B-) VS Kevin Garnett (A)
When will Gallinari start scoring again? This is the question on the mind of all Knicks fans, after watching a player dubbed "the best shooter I've ever seen" by Coach Brownnose D'antoni slumping through February.
KG could have an easy time tonight, hopefully The Big **** will stand up solid in his way. Recently voted number 1 trash talker in the league the Knicks will look to dress down this angry faggot.
David Lee (A) VS Kendrick Perkins (B-)
Lee needs to get back on track after getting dominated in the post last outing, he should have no trouble finishing around the slow Perkins but needs to find some kind of strength on the defensive end.
Perkins is pretty slow and average but with our weak D he could cause problems. On defense he will just hope he doesn't get posterized by Will the Thrill like he did last season.
Nate "The Great Dancer" Robinson
Eddie House
Nate Robinson will be looking for something to dance about tonight as he faces the Knicks for the first time in his career. Let's face it, he will probably get the chance as it doesn't matter if his team is up 10 or down 10, he'll bust some moves. Eddie will want to show the Celtics they made a mistake trading him away, look for him to have a big game against his former team.
Knicks 100 - Boston 98
I just can't predict a Knicks loss against the Celtics, even though it's the more likely outcome. We only dropped to them by 2 in the first and only matchup we've had with them this year, and although the new look Knicks have not had any real practice time to gel together, pride and revenge will be at the forefront of every players mind when they hit the floor tonight.
I can't bear to post "highlights" of last night so here's some classic New York dicking on Celtics movies!
^^^ Thats quality thread you started. great stuff. lots of usefull info and great inside stuff. anyone know if tracy is balling tonight?
I signed in just to comment on this game thread, great job Smokes...and once again, it took me a couple minutes just to get pass your logo (no homo)...you know, the one with the girl smoking...
anyways, the only thing i really hope to see is Chandler throw it down on Kevin Garfaggit.
And its great to see that gif of Garnett gettin snuffed by Anthony Peeler, who was a shooting guard
Garnshot lost
Smokes I think you found your calling. Making game threads. lol. Good job man. That Chandler dunk was sick.
We're due for a win and it wouldn't be nicer to end our losing streak against the Celtics. We have to get this one. I know playoffs are out of the picture but we shouldn't just give away a high draft pick to Utah.
Nate I know is going to come out wanting to put on a show. This can be his strength or downfall. If he gets too carried away, TO's for Celtics = Points for us. House is going to want to show off too. We'll have to just wait and see. I have a feeling it might be Gallo's game tonight. Let's get them Celtics, Go Knicks!
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
Awesome game thread!
I do think that this is a HUGE game, and it is a must win to break out of this slump. I'm thinking that with a win against the Celtics tonight, they could set off on a very hot streak. I don't think Nate will light us up as I did in recent days, and Boston doesn't have anything else going for them. Pierce should be out, and even if he's not, he surely won't be 100%. Allen will be an issue, but there's always good players on the other team to deal with.
The goals for tonight for the Knicks if they want to win:
CAPITALIZING ON TURNOVERS AND MISTAKES - They lack this aspect beyond belief, they can never take advantage of a teams mistake! And if they did, that could be a potential 8 point swing from last night's game. That's a big amount that they missed out on.
Passing the ball efficiently - Last night was a terrible passing performance. Dreadful. Sergio passes with one second left on the clock, Chandler was so shocked by it that he almost let it go out of bounds. There were passes that almost went backcourt, and they never moved towards the basket. I don't care how many 3's they think they can put up, they need to get in the paint, and immediately.
Which brings me to my last point:
The Knicks have to slow down the points in the paint. 50 points by the Bucks. That is insane.
Sorry about this big post guys, but I had to vent a little here. Tell me what you think.
Smokes - Another great game thread. The preview again packed with a lot of game and player info, Frank Isola better look out with you around. Word though, I think you ruined the professional effort with the suck dick at the end, but maybe it's just me.
good job smokes muahaha
if we win tonight we need can run as never. i hope in knicks tonight.

nice thread..
Nate is back so i hope to see him against the knicks...watch him light us up
Sergio had 8 steals last name??? Duhon can't even get one with his slow azz around the court
I like Sergio...smart player, fast and good court vision...he needs shooters around him to be very effective though.
Gallo and Chandler need to wake up NOW
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Chris Duhomo needs to get another 28 DNPs.
Jeremon Linbury
LOL Great post.
I hope the team can surprise us...

Canon PowerShot G16 Review – The Canon PowerShot G16 looks to continue the G series fine advanced compact tradition
Canon PowerShot G16 Review
The latest model is the Canon PowerShot G16, featuring 5x zoom lens and 12.1MP CMOS sensor, but faced with more competition than ever is it still the best advanced compact on the market?
Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Features
Since its introduction in 2000, Canon's G-series has stayed at the top of its field by a continual process of evolution and improvement rather than revolutionary change, so it is no surprise that the G16 is an incremental development from last year's Canon G15, but what is a little surprising is just how few new features have been added this time. With a cursory glance at them side-by-side it is hard to tell the two cameras apart.
The G16 retains the same optically stabilised 5x zoom f/1.8-2.8 lens, equivalent to 28-140mm, with an automatic lens cover. The lens retracts almost flush with body, giving the G16 a total depth of just 41mm, nearly a centimetre thinner than its close rival the Nikon P7800.
Also carried over from the previous model is the monitor, a fixed 7.5cm (3.0in) screen with a resolution of 922,000 dots. It has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and an effective anti-glare coating, but we can't help but wish that it was articulated.
The last standard G-series model to feature a twist-and-flip screen was the G12 in 2010. The large-sensor G1 X has an articulated monitor, so we have to assume that Canon has left this feature off the latest G-series cameras to protect sales of the G1 X, despite that camera's age. If so then it's a shame that a marketing decision has removed a useful feature that would have improved the G16.
Optical viewfinder
The Canon G16 also retains the optical viewfinder that is one of the key selling points of the G-series. It's not a particularly brilliant finder, with a rather tunnel-like view and no data display or focus confirmation, but it has dioptric correction and it does zoom in sync with the lens, and after all any optical viewfinder is better than an electronic one.
There appears to be some question as to whether or not the G16 features a new sensor. It has a 1/1.7in 12.1-megapixel CMOS chip using back-side illumination technology for better light gathering, but what is unclear is whether the G15 had this sensor too.
What is certain is that the G16 has a new image processor, a DIGIC 6 chip offering a claimed 50 per cent increase in autofocus capture speed and improved JPEG processing, supposedly delivering better high-ISO noise reduction; we'll take a look at that later.
Internally the Canon G16 offers mostly the same photographic features as the Canon G15, with shutter speeds of 1 – 1/4000th, although the new Star scene mode does provide an exposure of up to 250 seconds for tripod-mounted astronomical shots. There are a couple of other new shooting options, with the addition of Background Defocus in the Creative Filters mode, and a hand-held HDR shooting mode, although you'll still need to hold the cameras very steady to use it.
Another new photography option that will be useful to enthusiasts is focus peaking, which lets you fine-tune manual focusing by highlighting the sharpest areas of a scene.
Wi-fi addition
The main new feature that the Canon G16 adds is Wi-Fi and smartphone connectivity, which is an increasingly popular feature among high-end compacts from all manufacturers. It's not quite as comprehensively integrated as Samsung's innovative system, but by downloading and installing a free app on your iPhone or Android handset you can copy and share photos, or add GPS location data to your saved images.
The G16 can also connect to a home Wi-Fi network, allowing wireless downloading of pictures, instant backup to Canon iMage Gateway or Flickr, or printing via a network printer. You can also share photos directly with other Wi-Fi-equipped Canon cameras.
The G16's video mode has also received a minor upgrade, with the addition of a full HD 60fps mode, providing smother recording of fast-moving subjects, and in-camera video transcoding. The automatic wind noise filter has also supposedly been improved, although we couldn't spot much difference.
Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Design
As noted previously, the design of the Canon G16 is virtually identical to the Canon G15. The body is slightly taller, with a panel seam around the top plate, presumably to make room for the Wi-Fi transceiver, and the handgrip is a bit more rounded but other than that everything is in pretty much the same place, including the distinctive overlapping control dials on the top panel.
The design of the G16 is as much a product of evolution as its feature set, and it shows. The camera is a pleasure to use, with comfortable handling, well-designed controls and a menu interface that is quick and intuitive to use.
The build quality is exemplary; the body is mostly metal, with only the top plate made of plastic, and for such a feature-packed camera it is surprisingly light and compact.
Battery and card
The battery and card hatch is solidly mounted on a metal hinge, and another hinged hatch on the side covers the USB and HDMI sockets as well as a socket for an optional remote shutter release switch.
The front handgrip is a bit on the small side, but it has a textured rubber coating and combined with the rear thumb-rest it provides a comfortable and secure grip. All of the main controls can be used while operating the camera one-handed.
The pop-up flash mounted on the top plate to the left of the viewfinder is also a bit on the small side, and not quite as far from the lens as we'd like, but it has a decent range and the camera does have a hot shoe to mount an external flashgun. It has full metering dedication with a range of Canon Speedlites.
The lens bezel can be removed by pressing a button on the front of the camera body, revealing a bayonet-style mounting that is used to attach several other accessories, including a 1.4x teleconverter and a filter adaptor with a 58mm thread.
Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Performance
The G16 ably demonstrates that large and complex cameras don't have to be slow. It can start up, extend the lens, focus and take a picture in approximately 1.8 seconds, which is nice and quick, and in JPEG fine mode the shot-to-shot time is a consistent 1.3 seconds, which is also fast.
Even better, in raw plus JPEG mode it only slows down a little, with a shot-to-shot time of approximately 1.5 seconds. In continuous shooting mode it's even faster; in JPEG mode it can shoot at an impressive 12.2 frames per second for five frames, and then continuing at 5.7 frames per second, and even faster if the monitor is turned off or higher compression is used.
Compare these figures to the Nikon P7800 that we recently tested and you'll see why we were disappointed with that camera's poor performance.
AF system
The autofocus system is also excellent, focusing quickly and accurately even in very low lighting conditions. In auto mode the camera features automatic subject tracking AF, which is so good it's almost creepy. You can watch on the monitor as it evaluates and recognises subjects within the frame and focuses on them, and then tracks them as they move or if you move the camera. It also has face recognition, with an editable file of frequently seen faces.
The improved video recording mode is good, and the new 60fps frame rate mode does give excellent results on moving subjects such as fast-flowing water, but the built-in stereo microphones still suffer from a lot of wind noise when shooting outdoors.
The battery duration is surprisingly good considering that the G16 is powered by a relatively puny 920mAh li-ion rechargeable. Canon claims around 360 shots on a full charge, and our experience would seem to bear this out; although the battery indicator did drop to one bar after just 280 shots, it managed another 60-odd before it finally expired.
Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Image Quality
As with the design and features, the G16's overall image quality is very similar to that of the G15, which is not too surprising since it has the same lens and a near-identical sensor and processor.
Colour and White Balance
Colours are rich and vibrant in standard mode, bold and well saturated in vivid mode and neutral and naturalistic in neutral mode. Unlike many cameras it plays no favourites, and all colours are rendered with equal clarity. Automatic white balance is reliably accurate, and the new multi-area white balance mode, available only in Smart Auto, achieves the seemingly impossible and copes with multiple light sources with different colour temperatures.
The G16 is unsurprisingly capable in this area, the evaluative coping with high-contrast back-lit scenes just as readily as softly-lit portraits. The large back-illuminated sensor does just what it was designed to do, providing above average dynamic range, and the automatic DR correction option helps to improve shadow detail in very high contrasts conditions. There's also the HDR option if that's not enough, and if you're shooting in the 16-bit raw mode you can comfortably pull out at least two stops of extra shadow detail before noise becomes a problem.
The reason that so many high-end cameras only have around 12 megapixels, when the latest pocket snapshot cameras can boast more than 20, is that fewer photocells means larger photocells, and that means more dynamic range and colour depth. Resolution isn't everything, and with its improved contrast, sophisticated processing and pin-sharp lens the G16 produces a level of detail that surpasses most compacts with more actual pixels.
Image Noise
I've seen some cameras recently that can produce excellent images at absurdly high ISO settings, but the G16 isn't one of them. It's far from bad though; from 80 – 800 ISO there are no problems at all, and images are pin-sharp and noise-free. From 1600 – 6400 noise appears and grows steadily worse, and the 12,800 ISO maximum setting is dangerously close to cheap webcam territory, but as long as you're aware of this and try to avoid the higher settings you won't have any serious noise problems.
Lens Performance
The G16's lens is not only very fast, it's also extremely sharp right across the frame. There was a tiny bit of corner blurring at the extreme wide angle end and minimum aperture, but stopping down to f/5.6 made it go away. There's no trace of chromatic aberration either. If only all zoom lenses were this good.
Canon PowerShot G16 Review – Verdict
The PowerShot G16 further reinforces the position of Canon's G-series as the standard by which all other advanced compacts must be judged. It is fast, light, easy to use, exceptionally well made, packed with features and offers excellent image quality and performance.
If you're looking for an advanced compact for hobby photography, or as a lighter camera to use alongside your DSLR then it remains one of the best choices on the market. In fact the only reason not to buy one is if you already own a G15, because apart from the addition of Wi-Fi smartphone connectivity and a slightly faster processor it is a very similar camera.
Sample Image Gallery
These are just a small selection of sample images captured with the Canon G16. For a full range, including a full series of ISO test shots, head over the the Canon G16 review sample image gallery.
First Look
Eleven months after announcing the PowerShot G15, Canon has unveiled its successor in the form of the Canon PowerShot G16. Claimed to bring a new level of image quality and performance to the manufacturers advanced compact range, it appears no different from its forerunner in terms of design, however plenty of development has taken place under the hood that's worthy of closer inspection.
The Canon PowerShot G16 features a very similar design the the PowerShot G15.
With a completely new 12.1MP 1/1.7in High Sensitivity CMOS sensor at its heart, the Canon PowerShot G16's chip is partnered alongside the company's new DIGIC 6 image processor that enables the camera to offer breathtaking shooting speeds, with superfast sustained continuous shooting of up to 9.3fps. Speed improvements have also been made to autofocus, which is now claimed to be 41% quicker than the previous Canon PowerShot G15.
The rear of the Canon PowerShot G16 will be a familiar place for G-Series users.
Just like the G15, the Canon PowerShot G16 features a super-bright 5x optical zoom lens (28-140mm) with f/1.8-2.8 variable aperture that enables you to shoot at f/2.8 at its maximum 140mm focal length.
The 5x optical zoom is equivalent to 28-140mm in 35mm terms.
Keeping it synonymous with the PowerShot G-Series, the G16 offers full manual control from the top plate and is built with a robust aluminum body that's fractionally slimmer than its predecessor. Full HD (1920×1080) 60p movie recording with stereo sound is another new feature on G16 that's never been seen before on a G-Series compact, and in keeping with Canon's push to make all of their products better connected, Wi-fi functionality is available to post images on social media channels or via portable devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Full manual control is available from the G16's mode dial on the top plate.
Supporting Raw and JPEG file formats, the Canon PowerShot G16 is also out to appeal to those interested in astronomy photography with a new Star mode that's been specially developed to make it easier for beginners to capture star trails and starry skies. Three different pre-sets can be chosen from including, Star Nightscape, Star Trails and Star Time-lapse movie. The other new creative filter to be added os Background Defocus, which takes two shots in quick succession before identifying the subject and merging it with a blurred background.
Spot the differences. The G16 is virtually identical to the G15 in terms of design.
Other benefits of the Canon Powershot G16 include Focus Peaking, 3in LCD display and Intelligent Image Stabilizer with 5-axis movie stabilizsation.
The G16 (left) has an identical top plate design to the G15(right).
Expected to hit the shelves and online retailers from late September, the Canon PowerShot G16 will cost £529.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

The chapter wasn't a big one for me. It was ok though. Liked the Naruhina moment that went on and the dialougue between the kyuubi and naruto lol but that's about it for me.
Naruto is gonna blow it up on the sixteenth! Can't wait to see him killin it!

First post! Yay me!
I really liked this chapter. It was emotional and it felt very real to me. I do have a thing for Hinata love the character dont really care that much if she ends up with Naruto but I do love that It's her time to shine.
To all the people thinking the Naruhina is sudden, you have to also consider these facts.
*Naruto hasn't said or done anything about Hinatas confession He's been busy but that doesn't mean he hasn't had time to think about it.
* Remember his reaction when he thought Hinata got killed? He DOES have really strong feelings for her it's not confirmed he loves her in THAT way, but he cares very much about her.
*What we really see isn't a confession it's two people facing something horrible together in losing someone they care about and then helping eachother to stand strong in an extreme situation. It does hint the author wants things to go that way but this is not a love confession, at least not as far as I can tell.
*If he do love her, he already knows where she stands in the matter. And even though a battlefield with the worlds end at stake is a strange location, this girl just saved his ass from f****** up everything he worked so hard for, his dead masters legacy and his parents legacy not to mention everything he himself used to stand for. If he do love her that act alone, her standing up towards his own stupidity might have been what pushed him over the edge and made him fully realize it. Why then wouldn´t he embrace it?
About Hinata standing up for her self.
Hinata has allways looked up to Naruto, she's seen in him everything she wished she had in herself. Confidence and determination. Naruto is strong like her father and kind like her mother, as she would put it herself. Also even though being very shy around Naruto, she herself has changed alot and even though she might not have learned confidence and maybe until now even strength. She has learned determination. From Naruto. She's watched from afar as he has faced impossible odds and gone from being Konohas laughing material to becoming perhaps the greatest hero the village will ever have. This is what made her strive to change.
But you all already know this. In this situation however the roles are reversed. For a moment when Naruto reaches out against Obito and his empty words for an easy way out, she can see herself, she can see doubt and uncertainty, feelings she knows very well. And what did Naruto do then? He slaped her in the face (metaphoricly) and told her to stand up and fight. If anyone would know what to say in this situation it's Hinata cause she has been watching him and this is what Naruto would do himself. She is willing to die for him, that was what she confessed. To save his life do you really think she would remain unable to act due to shyness? How much sense would that make?
Can't wait till the next chapter comes out, this is a combo we all haven't seen b4 hyuga + naruto no jutsu, hinata been the scope and looking for the weak spot so naruto can weaken the juubi and separate the 2 uchihas from the beast. Rt from the very start naruto has always done this when protecting someone he always goes up something new or a last surprise - remember when naruto protected sasuke from haku, then there was protecting sakura -naruto vs gaara, etc he discovered he had kyubi power, then used it under control, then came rasengan for protecting tsunade, then 3 yrs later rasenshurinkin, etc and with the new information from ino that U can combine ur jutsu with the the hyuga clan in which I still don't understand how that is possible. My only concern is that kishi don't come with some bull chap just to prolong this manga we have had some disappointing manga chaps rtr after the holidays in the past.
is this a shoujo manga?...
Hey guys, what do you think,
do you think that naruto holds Hinatas hands since he loves her now?
Would they end up together?
Well, I hope very much they will!!!

where did you get this info? because i do not think so said it would be takeing two week break however their would be a late release of one chapter (615) i could be wrong but i think the chapter will come out next week but again where did you hear the 16th so i may look at it
Enjoy seeing Hinata get to be the center of attention. Her character development is progressing nicely and its good to see her this close to Naruto without fainting, finally. I hope all this attention doesn't mean Obito or Madara kills her next chapter, that would be very uncool.
No real complaints about the manga lately though I wish the story would move along a little faster.
NaruHina is overdue in my opinion, and I agree with the prophecy theory (it was my sentiments exactly lil.) But overall I wished the ending had just a little, just a little mind you, oomph.
RIP Neji!!!!! I hope Naruto revenges him!!!
I want manga? Seriously, they cannot just keep us there waiting..
Just seeing naruto and hinata together is great just because he finally fighting with someone that fits his style of fighting both use chakra, both use wind both fighters got close, mid and long range jutsu then there the fact while hinata searches for a weak spot with eyes naruto can deliver the blow but I am concerned that might not be enough.

Love and Spring Are In The Air!
Spring Training has finally arrived! And not a minute too soon…severe baseball withdrawal had me wishing there was a support group for baseball addicts.
In honor of spring training and Valentine's Day, I composed a short poem:
Pinstripes are red,
BP jersey's are blue,
The Phillies are in camp,
Time to bid winter adieu!
Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Spring Training!

*Read more about the Phillies at my other home page, Phightin' Phils Phorum in the My Team Rivals network*

Isn't MLBlogs the support group for baseball addicts?🙂
But yes, the first workout of Spring Training. I don't think MLB could have given us a better Valentine.
Let's see Jenn,
You take incredible photos, love pinstripes ( red of course) and you speak French…..
All I have to say to that is : "Bein faire et laisse dire" or translated "Work hard and do not listen to other's criticism".
Bonne nuit!

Jenn, why is Cupid shooting him in the butt? Wouldn't want to damage that, now would we?😉
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Happy Hallmark Day! Cupid must be trapped, stuffed and placed safely in a museum somewhere. He's caused enough damage already.
Kristen – Agreed :O)
Cliff – Merci! LOL
Sue – Cuz then I kiss it and make it better… ;o)
Mike – Someone should shoot cupid – give that little ******* a taste of his own medicine!
Aha! I hadn't thought of that – excellent reasoning!
Very Cute.
Looking forward to seeing more of your great pictures this Spring. I know that I am beyond excited at this point. It's just nice that the weather here is getting better as Baseball is getting going.

Since I own a television, there was no escaping the imminent possibility of what some folks claimed might happen on May 21, 2011. According to the onslaught of information, we were in for quite a ride. Words like "judgment," "evil" and "sin" kept popping up; therefore I was a bit hesitant to dismiss it out of hand, and made my plans accordingly.
Just in case, I made reservations at the Liberty Free Theatre (LFT, www.libertyfreetheatre.org [2]) for Thursday, well in advance of the impending end of the world, to catch Eugene O'Neill's "Hughie." According to mythologist Joseph Campbell, "We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value—the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it's all about."
Since experiencing good theatre makes me feel alive, I checked Wikipedia, which says: "Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (16 October 1888 – 27 November 1953) was an American playwright, and Nobel laureate in literature. His plays were among the first to introduce into American drama techniques of realism and were among the first to include speeches in American vernacular and involve characters on the fringes of society, where they struggle to maintain their hopes and aspirations, but ultimately slide into disillusionment and despair."
Director Chet Carlin had a firm grasp on that concept, as did actors Michael Frizalone and James Heisel. As always, the LFT offers up a coffee klatch (of sorts) after each performance and I was struck by the many different interpretations of O'Neill's astonishing use of the language and what his intent may have been in writing "Hughie." I will not be sharing my theory here, but would encourage all to go and experience it, sans my take on the production (other than to share that I loved it). The theatre has extended the play's run to June 5, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.
Pre-Rapture, I spent some personal time outside playing with Dharma (the wonder dog) and reveling in the joy that is life in the Catskills, inspired by the words of Scottish poet George Byron: "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
With the onslaught of news channels reminding me that time might be running out, I ran out to the Forestburgh Playhouse ( www.FBPlayhouse.org [3] ) to catch the auditions of local children to play munchkins in the summer production of "The Wizard of Oz." Not for the first time, I was reminded of the words of the scarecrow himself (with whom I most identify) who beams with joy as he exclaims "Oh joy! Oh rapture! I got a brain!"
I prefer to think "I got a brain" too, so taking the doomsday prophecy with a grain of salt, I observed the kids singing and dancing with "expression of great joy," "carried away with pleasure" and "filled with ecstasy" (the Webster's dictionary definition of rapture.) Kids from all over the Hudson Valley turned out in droves for an opportunity to participate in the beloved classic, and there is clearly talent amongst the smaller set. "Judging" by my observations, there will be many proud parents and families cheering them all on throughout the summer-long production.
There were Facebook events (and even some private parties) galore, rejoicing (?) in the possibility of the Rapture... so naturally, I played along—snapping pics, engaging in thought-provoking conversation with my friends and fellow sinners, hoping against hope that the news feeds were wrong.
Six p.m. (EST) came and went with a lot of fanfare, but little substance, and I breathed a sigh of relief, while feeling oddly disappointed. I recalled the sage words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who once said, "The rapture of pursuing is the prize the vanquished gain" and in that moment, realized what winning feels like. To my chagrin, I'm still here. Are you?

TroyfromWestVirginia's Youtube "We are the L.A. Dodgers"
I first met TroyfromWestVirginia last year when I went on a road trip that took me first to Yankee Stadium then PNC. I had seen his tribute to Joe Beimel before so when he walked infront of me, I recognized him!.
Yesterday I ran into him again at Camelback Ranch. For those that don't know anything about Troy, he is a big Joe Beimel fan. He is the reason why Joe got a bobblehead. I took a picture with him and his sign saying "Bring Beimel Back". I I posted the in my prior thread. As the game progressed, I spotted him behind home plate when our pitching started to fall apart, he was displaying his sign and getting other fans to chant with him "Bring Beimel back!' running up and down trying to get the attention of whoever was in the suites upstairs. I told the people sitting next to me who he was.
Troy's original youtube was titled "The Legend of Joe Beimel". He has done many since the but I like this tribute song he did titled "We are the L.A. Dodgers". Great job with the song Troy!

Julia! Loretta? who is Lorettal? THe only Loretta I know is Mark Loretta🙂.

Well done Troy, specially the part you say Charlie overdramatic call on a routing flyball, lol. So good

Rated 5 out of 5Â by nancyq Cold Water Wash This is my fifth Lanz nightgown and I wash all of them in cold water and have experienced very little, if any, bleed-through. I have both the nightgown and the pajamas in the cardinal print and have washed them dozens of times without a problem. Nice, thick flannel and sturdy seams, it's perfect for winter nights. February 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by caravanpeg Excellent Quilty very happy Love your company! When looking for hard to find things from the past, I allways find it with your company. Never disappointed! Thank you so much! January 18, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Cottage lover Runny dyes made a sorry sight. A long, long lover of Lanz gowns, I was so disappointed in the after laundering looks of my Cardinal flannel gown. The quality of the flannel was still very good. But washing made the red run just enough to spoil the looks. Perhaps I washed it on warm, as I have all my Lanz gowns over the years. A second gown of a different pattern, washed and retained it's good appearance. January 10, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by tru dye ran I've bought a lot of Lanz flannel nightgowns from the Vermont Country store over the years, and they have all been fine. But the last time I washed this cardinal one, the dye ran. It turned the nightgown pale pink. Fortunately it did not noticeably affect the things I washed it with. May 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Elderkat Love it It's judt what I wanted, I love flannel in winter. March 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Birdlover Soft, Thick, Warm...Just Lovely! This is my first Lanz nightgown and I was not disappointed...it is the first one that kept me warm all throughout the night without being overheated. The flannel is of the highest quality and surprisingly soft as well. I have been able to sleep through the night these last few nights, and I attribute this to the nightgown. It is generous in size, and I love the design of the neckline because somehow, it does not overheat me. My only wish is that the nightgown would be 2 inches longer. I am 5'3" and it is above ankle length for me. Still I love my nightgown and have already requested hubby for another one on Christmas...the Nantucket Rose...that one is 52" in length, and looks beautiful too! Merry Christmas to all!! December 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Capy Dreamy Lanz All of my Lanz nightgowns I ordered are wonderful. They are not made with cheap, thin flannel. They are fluffy, thick and warm and fit me just right. Nightgowns like these are never available in stores here in Seattle. Neither expensive stores nor discount stores. These nightgowns may seem a little pricey, but the amount of yardage of high quality flannel explains much of the cost. These nightgowns are very roomy. March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TexRoseBee Comfortable and Warm Nightgown I am very happy with my new flannel nightgown. It's soft and comfortable, and keeps me warm. I like it very much. (My only slight complaint is that the cardinals do not really look like cardinals. I'm not sure what they resemble.) Other than that -- a perfect nightgown for this woman :) January 20, 2014

Atlantis Blasts Off for NASA's Final Space Shuttle Mission
Tiffany Kaiser
July 8, 2011 11:29 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Space shuttle Atlantis blasted off at 11:29 a.m.
Space shuttle Atlantis launched today, marking the final mission and complete retirement of
Space Shuttle fleet.
Atlantis is the last of three remaining operational orbiters in NASA's Space Shuttle fleet. In February 2011,
Space Shuttle Discovery
was the first of the three to launch on its final mission after nearly 30 years of space travel. Then, in April 2011,
Space Shuttle Endeavour
was set to launch, but was delayed due to a broken set of heaters. It took off on its final mission in mid May instead.
Now, NASA's Space Shuttle fleet will be three-for-three as Atlantis
blasts into orbit
for its last mission as well.
Space Shuttle Atlantis first flew into space on mission STS-51-J in October 1985. It has completed 32 missions, spent 293 days in space, carried 191 crews and has traveled 120,650,907 miles. Atlantis is the only orbiter that cannot draw power from the
International Space Station
while docked there. Instead, it must provide its own power for fuel cells.
Today marks
Atlantis' 33rd and final mission
, STS-135. It will be a 12-day mission to the International Space Station with the purpose of delivering supplies and spare parts, which will be contained in the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module.
Atlantis mission STS-135 carries a crew of four, including Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim.
"That is the most beautiful vehicle we've had to fly in space, ever, and it's going to be a long time until you see a vehicle roll out to the pad that looks as beautiful as that," said Walheim. "How can you beat that? An airplane on the side of a rocket. It's absolutely stunning."
Space shuttle Atlantis took off at 11:29 a.m. ET from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. While some reports noted that weather could be obstacle possibly causing a delay, the astronauts started boarding Atlantis around 8:00 a.m. and the hatch was closed around 9:21 a.m. for flight.
Reports have estimated
that the crowd gathered in the area to see the launch ranged from 500,000 to 1 million people.

Pitching Shuts Down Phils Offense
The Phillies offense struggled tonight, having to face a much tougher pitcher tonight in Jon Lester, and they just did not get the job done. Jamie Moyer had a decent start again, although he was only able to go 5 innings as his pitch count mounted with Red Sox's hitters being very patient at the plate, drawing walks and making the most of the 4 hits they got off him. Jamie
only gave up 2 runs, both of which came off a 2 run homer from Coco Crisp, who also scored the 3rd Sox run of the game in the 6th off Ryan Madson after stealing 2 bags. Not bad for a guy who sounds more like a breakfast cereal than a baseball player. Really, Moyer did his part…only 4 hits allowed is great, especially considering the tight strike zone the home plate umpire gave him to work with. The Sox were simply not swinging and the walks kept coming…five in all. It was as if Moyer were tossing cute little kitty cats up to the plate and the Sox did not want to swing and hurt the poor kitties. How nice of them! Well, extra points to the BoSox for being such animal lovers. J
As for the Phillies offense, they were not quite as patient. Four strikeouts for Ryan Howard on the night after last night's amazing 3 for 5 performance…wow. Burrell had 3 on the night. As a team, the Red Sox racked up 10 strike outs total and gave up only 7 hits. A few missed opportunities as well by our offense did not help. Carlos Ruiz had 2 identical chances to get the Phillies going with 2 men on base in 2 different innings…both times he grounded to third base; once for a double play, once for the final out as there were already 2 outs. And Chase Utley had a huge shot at getting the Phillies on the board in the 8th with Rollins on 3rd base and 2 outs, but he continues his slump and struck out on a bad pitch. I believe he is now 0 for his last 16. Yikes! Clearly, he was seeing adorable kitty cats at the plate too J Give credit however to Jon Lester tonight…he was great and pitched all sides of the plate and changed speeds effectively. This guy is the real deal.
Well, we've got one more shot at the World Champs tomorrow afternoon and hopefully, the bats come out swinging hard! Also, remember to keep VOTING for the Phillies to go to All-Star game! Chase Utley still leads all Major league players in votes! Pat Burrell has moved back up to 6th place in outfield votes, Rollins is in 4th at short stop and Howard is in 5th at first base…so, we need MORE votes to get these guys in there with Chase! Go Phillies!

I guess we needed Count Chocula to beat Coco Crisp! I am not as concerned with the loss as I am the Marlins being on our tails again. We need to step it up. 5-5 in the last 10 games will not get it done!
Maybe some Boo Berry will scare them away too? Hee! So, the entire NL East took a dive yesterday…how nice of them to cooperate. But yeah, the Phillies seriously need to kick it into overdrive and pull away from the pack.
