But now, Republicans are quickly distancing themselves from Mitt Romney.
In fact, several attacked him over the weekend.
Newt Gingrich was critical of Romney, as was Senator Lindsey Graham and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.
Romney is now learning one of the tough lessons of a presidential campaign.
When you lose a presidential election, the party you led leaves.
Kirk Jowers, the Director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics told ABC 4,
"If it can be Romney's fault, instead of trying to solve the problems within the party and the country, that's obviously the easiest way to get back to business as usual."
Jowers worked with Romney's campaign for years.
He now cautions those who may already be looking towards 2016,
"The ones who are most critical don't get their turn in four years."
Interestingly, Jowers praises Jon Huntsman,
"I haven't heard him take a single pot shot at Romney since the election. Instead, he has been talking about some of the things Republicans need to fix."
Finally, we asked Jowers if Romney would ever come back to Utah to visit.
He told us that, since the election two weeks ago, Ann Romney already has,
"What could be a better way of spending this very difficult time, absorbing the impact of a loss then with your loved ones."

Thread: Focus Issues
Focus Issues
Hi. I'm pretty new to photography and have lots to learn. One issue I usually stumble upon is focus. Even though I think I have the camera settings correct, when I reviewed the photos, it doesn't look sharp or focus at all.
Here are some example photos from my school open gym. Lighting was poor and had to use some 'extreme' camera settings. Only edits I did was using auto settings in CS2 Camera RAW. No crop, but resized though.
1) Face doesn't look sharp
2) Face does look somewhat sharp but can be better?
Here are the equipments I used:
- Canon Rebel XTi w/grip
- Canon 50mm f/1.8
Here are the settings I used:
- Manual Exposure
- Shutter : 1/250th
- Aperature: f/1.8
- AI Servo AF
- Manual Focus Point: Center Focus
The issue I'm having is that even though I have the center focus point on the player's face, I can't seem to get a sharp photo. I'm pretty sure it has to do something with DOF(depth of field) but I don't know much about this. From what I know(hopefully this is correct) that a large fstop such as f/1.8 would produce a shallow DOF which mean objects would appear sharp if they are closer to the camera and anything beyond a certain distance will be blurry. A small fstop such as f/22 would produce deep DOF which mean everything from a short to long distance would be sharp. I'm hoping this is correct. Please correct me.
I also know that some lenses has a sweetspot at some aperture. I think on the Canon 50mm f/1.8, the sweetspot is around f/2.8 but I wished I could use that. I could try to slow down the shutter to 1/200th and raise the aperture by one stop but not sure if the shutter speed would be fast enough to "freeze" the shot.
Or my last idea is that I pushed my equipments to their limits and it's the best quality I can get. Even that's the case, I still want to get some opinions on DOF and how that effects focus. I think that is my problem that I don't understand how DOF works. I also heard something about focusing 1/3 on the subject? Maybe that could help?
And finally, any general tips, advices, suggestions or comments to a new photographer would be grateful too
-ThanksLast edited by zasboy; 01-19-2007 at 06:31 AM.
to be honest, that's quite acceptable. usually lenses are noticably less sharp when it is wide open.
but you pretty much understood the situation yourself from you description.
btw, which gym is that? is it los altos HS?
Kwun, indeed the photos are acceptable but I was wondering if I could improve on it?
I did some photoshop edit on the photos and it looks much better now. Here's my badminton gallery: Click Me
The gym in the photos was taken at the UC Santa Cruz West Field Gym. The school has two gyms, West and East. I was a student, club officer, and team member on the UCSC Badminton Club/Team until I graduated in 2006. I still go back to play and take photosLast edited by zasboy; 01-19-2007 at 05:36 PM.
on the topic of whether it can be improved, i think for some situations, it can be improved. those include more stationary shots like serving. in that case you can try f/2.8. and you will be using 1/125s for shutter speed. both settings will be within the safe margin and you might get slightly better sharpness.
for action shots, i don't think you can expect much more. f/1.8 gives a really shallow depth of field as you said, that means the range of distance where object is in focus (centered around the focus distance) is very small. any small movement will knock the subject outside of this focal range. furthermore, 1/250s is really very borderline when it comes to stopping motion. motionblur will cause in-focus subject to look more blurry.
from your setting, it looks like the gym is better lit than average. ISO1600, f/1.8 and 1/250s and you still get a decently exposed photo (i assume you haven't tweaked the exposure on Camera Raw). there are gyms around with much worse lighting and there is very little hope of getting anythign in focus!
another thing that can be done is to push the exposure. use faster shutter (1/500s) or larger aperture (f/2.8). the photos will come out underexposed and then you can compensate it in Camera Raw. the result is that the contrast and noise level will suffer. but it will at least give you better DoF and less motion blur, you can experiment to see if that produce a more acceptable photo.
Good advices kwun. I'm going back to the UC Santa Cruz West Gym on Sunday and will try to underexpose some shots. I'll report back with some results.
Some additional informations helps. The West Gym has high open ceilings. There are windows on the roof but the photos I took were taken a night. The photos I'll be taking on Sunday will be during the daytime. Not sure if that is going to make a difference in lighting.
Since you use the 50/1.8, here are some opinions I have of it.
At aperture f1.8, it is quite soft.
f1.8 also gives low depth of field.
It doesn't focus very fast so your subject may have moved and the AF mechanism hasn't caught up.
When the AF changes the lens, the incremental steps may be large enough that the centre will not be quite in focus. The 50/1.4 has smaller incremental steps so the accuracy of focus will be better. (this point is sometimes mentioned in the camera forums).Last edited by Cheung; 01-20-2007 at 10:29 AM.

Topic Review (Newest First) |
llombardo | I don't have an issue with Petsmart training and I have used them in the past and I'm using them now for my golden puppy, but it was not the right fit for my GSD. There are a few things you can do. Take your dog to the park on leash and work at her threshold level. If she doesn't react at 50 ft, start at 50 ft. Keep her focused on you, once she is comfortable, move a few feet closer and keep going like that. You can throw food in the grass in the opposite direction of dog that is approaching, your dog will go into hunt mode and most likely won't even notice dog passing. You can turn with your dog and say in a voice that gets her attention lets go, the tone of your voice will grab her attention. I also gave mine a ball that he would squeeze in his mouth, he used it like a person would use a stress ball in their hand. A stable dog for your dog to be around can go a long way in teaching your dog manners. Midnite is at the point that we don't meet any dogs when we are anywhere, but if they run up to him he is good and doesn't react at all, which is what my goal was. I no longer feel he is a threat to other dogs, but I still watch and pay attention. Learn your dogs body language, triggers, and thresholds. | |

I don't see it as conflicting. . I think what Carriesue meant is she shouldn't meet EVERY dog on a walk. My dog is good with dogs( is only 8 months so going forward who knows) but we still dont let him meet every dog we meet on a walk, because not every dog is friendly. But socializing with your friends dogs are a good idea, if your dog is good with that. My dog goes to obedience class, however our trainer allows no socialization so they may as well not even be there. Actually I take that back, they are good for distraction. By the time your dog already sees the other dog and starts lunging its too late for treats. You have to catch her before she gets to that point. Also not all trainers are more than petco. My trainer trains dogs for the blind yet I pay about $10 more, as a petco trainer. |

She's been in group obedience classes with her former owners as well as with us currently. They're of the chain pet store variety. I know the people at Leerburg hate Petsmart and Petco's training classes, but tbh, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a professional dog trainer who just isn't in my price range. Do you think we're hurting more than helping by taking her to pet store classes? The trainer who works with us has been wonderful so far working on basic obedience as well as loose leash walking. She's doing a lot better so far with walking nicely though. However, we signed up for group obedience hoping that she'd be exposed to more dogs and learn more. As it turns out, no one else goes to the classes! We end up getting private lessons because the other people who signed up just don't show. Anyhow, the trainer told us that the best thing to do with her now is to turn her around before she can see the other dog and react. It works about 80% of the time, but when everyone in the neighborhood is out with their dogs, we can't avoid them all the time. He also suggested that we take her to friends with dogs and just let them play so that she learns other dogs aren't really a big deal. Carriesue, you said the opposite thing: Quote:
Thanks for all the advice! We will continue to work on obedience and engagement in the home. I have yet to find a toy she really loves to play or with. I'd like to be able to play fetch and tug with her, but she's food-motivated, so I'll work with that for now. Do you all have other exercises we can do with engagement? I've read about the idea of feeding treats whenever she sees another dog so that eventually she'll look at me every time instead of the other dog. She loves treats (who doesn't!) but as soon as she sees that dog across the street, it's all bark bark bark, lunge lunge lunge, I don't care about food right now just let me go see this dog. |
Carriesue |
I had the same exact problem with my young male... My suggestion and what I did is to sign up for some group training classes if you can. This can help you learn how to work with and train a dog and this can help getting her used to being around dogs leashed and putting her focus somewhere else. A big suggestion if possible is to stop the off leash play and no more sniff and greets on leash until you get this under control. If you have to do sniff and greets make her do something before she's allowed to greet such as sit. She has to get the idea that she can't meet every dog there ever was. I also second doing a lot of work with her at home one on one, you want to be the best thing in her world... Not other dogs. This is something that I am still struggling with, my dogs leash reactivity has greatly improved but he's still very dog focused. I wouldn't feel bad, this seems to be a common thing in GSD's. Does she really love food or any toys? I'd start by playing with her at home, playing tug, flirt pole, ball and incorporate obedience commands into play. I would also check out control unleashed and BAT training but I would highly highly recommend signing up for some group classes and find a trainer that will help you with this, I was always upfront with my trainers before signing up for the classes and let them know about his reactivity. Reactivity and aggression are not the same thing. My dog and I are now working towards our canine good citizen title, if I can do it... You can do it! I'd also second finding a GSD club if possible and see if they do any training, it's so much easier to work with people who are familiar with the breed and different training techniques. I would NOT use an e collar without a trainer especially since you're new to dogs, this can make things a lot worse. |
llombardo |
As soon as I signed my male GSD's adoption papers I got to see him react to another dog. He was very loud and scary. When I brought him for his check up a week later they put us in a waiting room by ourselves. He had no manners , no training, and no socialization. I got him in May. I went to several trainers and went through every method there is. We did focus work, redirection, prong, e collar, positive, etc. He was in a class behind barriers and even reacted to my other dogs when on a leash. I couldn't take him anywhere without a reaction, but I kept trying. Once we moved I started looking for another trainer. In the meantime I walked my other dogs on a leash in front of him, which really helped. I also had a neighbor that took the time for him to meet his brothers GSD and that also helped. About a month ago I met with s trainer and she told me that there was no way he could be in a class and offered private lessons. I was not happy with that, he needed to be somewhere where they understood him and the breed and he definitely needed the training. That same day I called the local GSD club and the next day we went. BEST move I ever made. He hasn't reacted since we have been there. He immediately liked it there and so did I. Believe me, he has been tested several times with other reactive dogs right next to him, growling and lunging at him. I have learned how to get him focused and to watch him closely. If he reacts its my error because I wasn't watching him good enough. Within 2 weeks of him starting classes he passed his CGC and has become a certified therapy dog. I never thought that would happen, especially so soon. Lots of work and determination will get you where you need to be. Keep a open mind and mix and match as many different methods that are needed. The e collar did not work for us, but we are now able to use a prong successfully. Good Luck!!! |
MyHans-someBoy |
Atravis is right. If you are able to build focus and are able to redirect, that is certainly preferable to using the correction of an e-collar. In my case, I was a novice handler who did lack creativity- but my trainer did not. When "Watch me" fails, high value treats and toys fail, trying to heel Hans a different direction fails, trying to simply break his intense focus on the other dog fails, then it's time for something different-before someone gets pulled into a busy street. The e-collar was used as a last resort method for us. I think they can do more harm than good when used by someone who doesn't know how to use them correctly. In my case, the trainer was in control of the timing and used a very low setting. Hopefully, you can use only the more positive methods to get the behavior you want . GSDs can be challenging dogs, for sure, but are well worth it! Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

I would work on building focus on walks and redirection before I would resort to use of an e-collar. You've barely had this dog for any length of time... give her a chance to learn and give yourself a chance to understand her. A GREAT book on leash reactivity, if you are interested:
Scaredy Dog! Understanding and Rehabilitating Your Reactive Dog: Ali Brown: 9780976641407: Amazon.com: Books
I feel the problem often times with issues like this, is a lack of creativity on the handler's part with their own personal thinking combo'd with a lack in understanding what the dog is feeling at the time of a reaction. Leash reactivity is usually rooted in over stimulation and frustration... neither of which are impossible things to worth through without ladling on the positive punishment. |
MyHans-someBoy |
My suggestion may not be terribly popular with some people, but...my GSD, Hans, was about the same age as your dog when I first adopted him and took him to training. Did not have an aggressive bone in his body. Happy to see people, but so super happy to see another dog on a leash going down the sidewalk that his behavior was nothing short of embarrassing! His reaction to other dogs turned out to be the worst problem he initially had. After trying to redirect his behavior (can you say IMPOSSIBLE?) and trying to correct with a prong collar, the trainer, who had an e collar but literally had not had to use it on a dog in many years, finally suggested it might be the best bet. It turns out it only took two sessions with it and it was only used on Hans once each session. Hans finally got the "big" picture and no longer behaves like an idiot around other dogs. The final straw that led to the use of the e-collar was when I was walking down the sidewalk during training and Hans saw a puppy being walked across the street. The pup completely ignored Hans, but Hans just went crazy- I thought I was going to be pulled into the street. The trainer told me to heel him and keep walking. There was NO way! The trainer then took him over to a vacant lot and put him through many, many commands to try to get him under control. The trainer is a big guy at 6'5" and 250 lbs. He could barely control him. We both realized then that a little something extra was needed. I do want to stress that the trainer did not believe Hans wanted to hurt the other dogs- he simply gets too amped up when can't get to them to meet them. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

Severe leash aggression/frustration Hello, all! I am new to these boards and a first-time dog owner (but I've been reading threads without posting so I can learn from all of you) My GSD (female, spayed) is about a year and a half. We got her two months ago from a friend's friend's coworker's sister's uncle etc. who heard we were looking for a dog. She's been perfect in every way... except one. Addie is really, REALLY interested in other dogs. It can be a problem because she loves to sniff and sniff and sniff even when the other dogs are no longer interested in her. But she's very friendly and playful off leash (seems like appropriate playing, doesn't bully other dogs) or when she's on a loose leash and being allowed to greet and play. But when we're out on a walk and come across another dog, it's like night and day. She turns into a barking, lunging nightmare. She's very loud and won't stop until we finally drag her back into the house. Even when the other dog is out of sight she will continue to whine. Everyone in the neighborhood crosses the street when they see us coming! I feel terribly because she's not really DA (or at least I don't think so), but she definitely seems that way to everyone else. How can I get the neighbors to stop hating us and stop my arms from being torn out of their sockets? Thank you to all! |

There you go, Kim! They think once you have deposited your money, that they are doing you a favor with any services! They do not have a clue about Customer Service.
I quite agree. It's all about providing a holistic, consistent customer experience: not treating people nicely in the showroom or online, then herding them away like pests when it comes to follow-up service.
Boy, do I wish banks in particular would learn some lessons about this.
Great tutorial, Kim. Very clear and specific information on the value of Smarter Commerce.
To your point of Call Centers, I fully agree that the design of Smarter Commerce - which is increasing value/customer revenues is the driver, not cost savings alone. Most of the current Call Centers consolidate the cost of answering the calls and customer transactions - which is a long way from value-added customer-centric service. (Note: Some utilities actually measure the productivity of their Call Center employees by the physical time they spend answering calls and reward how quickly they finish the call; they also measure even the bathroom breaktimes of their employees.)
That certainly does not put a high value on the customer. The smart and successful companies of the future will complete the full cycle of service to the customer from sales to service and build loyalty and retention. A Smarter Commerce design will deliver better customer service - as measured by the customer!
That's short-sighted. Call centers should be viewed as an important point of engagement -- although one often gets the impression, as a customer, that they're designed mainly to get rid of you.
I've been thinking lately about using call centers as a means of gathering customer intelligence. Most companies struggle to get good customer feedback. And yet call centers are places where customers are giving feedback, and yet companies view call centers as a cost centers, where customers need to be shuffled off the phone as quickly as possible.

Balanitis is an infection or inflammation of the skin on the head (glans) of the penis. In men who are not circumcised, this area is covered by a flap of skin known as the foreskin, or prepuce. Balanitis can occur in both circumcised and uncircumcised men, although it occurs more commonly in men who are not circumcised. Young boys generally are affected only if they have a very tight foreskin that is difficult to pull back.
A variety of infections and skin conditions can cause balanitis. These include:
While any man can develop balanitis, the condition is most likely to occur in men who have a tight foreskin that is difficult to pull back, or who have poor hygiene. Diabetes can make balanitis more likely, especially if the blood sugar is poorly controlled. High blood sugar causes elevated amounts of sugar in the urine. Sugar-rich urine that dribbles on to the glans and under the foreskin provides a friendly environment for yeast and bacteria. Also, people with poorly controlled diabetes have a harder time fighting infections.
When balanitis keeps recurring, it may be caused by a yeast infection transmitted back and forth between partners during sexual contact.
Symptoms include:
Your doctor usually can recognize balanitis immediately. Occasionally, a swab or scraping of skin may be examined under the microscope, or may be sent to the laboratory for further testing to confirm the diagnosis.
When balanitis does not respond to treatment or appears different from a typical infection, your doctor may recommend that you see a dermatologist (skin specialist) or that a skin biopsy be done. In a biopsy, a small piece of skin is removed and examined in the laboratory. This is done to determine if you have an unusual type of infection or other type of skin condition that is causing your symptoms.
Most cases of balanitis respond to treatment within three to five days.
Men who are uncircumcised should practice good hygiene, including fully retracting the foreskin during bathing. People with diabetes can help to prevent balanitis by carefully controlling their blood sugar.
Treatment depends on the cause.
If your problem is caused by a yeast infection, you will be advised to use an antifungal cream. Clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex) is a very effective over-the-counter medication, which is also used for treating vaginal yeast infections and athlete's foot. Apply it to the affected area two to three times daily for 10 days. Your doctor also may recommend a prescription antifungal treatment, either in a cream or pill form.
If you have an infection with skin bacteria, you will be told to use an antibiotic cream, and to make sure you clean the area thoroughly. Occasionally antibiotic pills may be necessary.
When the skin is inflamed, but not infected, you will be advised to keep the area clean and dry and to avoid any soaps or skin lotions that may be aggravating the condition. Sometimes a cortisone cream can help to improve the problem more quickly. However, cortisone can make certain infections worse, so it is best to avoid this type of medication unless it is prescribed by a physician.
Circumcision often prevents repeated infections, especially in uncircumcised men who have a tight, difficult-to-retract foreskin. Once effective treatment begins, you usually do not need to avoid sex, although sexual contact can chafe or inflame the affected area. Rarely, sexual contact can pass an infection back and forth between partners. If this occurs, both partners may require treatment at the same time to prevent further episodes.
Contact your physician if:
The outlook is excellent if the problem is treated.

Comments about Keen Newport H2 Sandals - Youths' - 2012 Closeout:
I have had the adult version of this shoe for about 6 years and they are still going strong. This year decided to make the investment for each of our children and it was well worth it! A lot of the slip on Croc style shoes are great for light play in the yard but don't offer the support for lots of walking at events or the zoo. Also didn't feel safe with them wearing crocs on bikes so they always had to have tennis shoes on in the summer to ride their bikes. Not anymore. The Keens fit them great and are so durable, and good for anything that might come their way. A bit hard for my 4 year old to put on herself at first, however she is getting the hang of it. The only Con I see is the price but have realized that they are worth it for sure!

Our windows are particularly deadly to this species ; (
Picked the last of the broccoli and last night my wife found this guy on some broccoli in the fridge. It moves in a very leech like manner, but the garden is a long way from the pond. Some type of fly larva maybe? I've never got any id hits on leeches I've posted here, so I have little hope of an id for this guy.
The second pic is the underside.
Poor little guy hit the window. After some time he seemed to recover and flew off.

COLORADO SPRINGS -- The Battle of Cowpens took place on January 17, 1781. Thousands of Continental Soldiers and Red Coats fought in Cherokee County, South Carolina.
Friday in Colorado Springs, the Battle of Cowpens was reenacted by 300 5th graders.
"We spent most of April and May studying Revolutionary War in the background," said Skyway Elementary teacher and event organizer David Eick. "This is a way it makes it come alive for them."
As much fun as the kids are having, Eick says their also learning an important part of American history.
"History is about how we got to be where we are now, how our country go to be what it is now. And some of the issues that were fought during the Revolutionary War are still some of the issues we're ironing out in our country today. What does it mean that all men are created equal? What does it mean that we have the right to do something or the right not to do something?"
This is the 18th year of the reenactment.

I have very sensitive skin on my face and I had trouble finding something to aid in that. THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH, I used it with the clarisonic mia and ever since this I have had minimal skin issues. THANK YOU
I keep a small container in my purse of purity at all times! It smells so clean and nice and cleans off my makeup really well! The formula makes your skin feel so wonderful after you finish washing your face! I LOVE THIS!
I have been on the hunt for a simple face cleanser and this product exceeds all expectations. I use an eye makeup remover before I use it, but otherwise, its incredible. I have been experimenting with it - it keeps my skin clear and hydrated all day. I can even forego moisturizer at night with it, though I don't. Try this product if you are in the market for a face cleanser and don't want to buy multiple products.
I've been using this product for years. It never dries my skin out and always washes clean away. It is not overly scented or harsh either.
this product is amazing! My face began breaking out a day after using it, which is good because it is bringing out all the impurities in my face! It leaves it SOO soft.
doesn't do much good for my skin but it doesn't do much bad either. actually makes my skin very soft but it will not be enough to prevent the occasional breakout.
This face wash is worth the price. I use mine with the Clarisonic and my skin feels the cleanest it's ever been. I don't need a toner or moisturizer afterward. It's great for simplifying your beauty routine.
I have been using this cleanser for about 3 years now and will never turn back. This cleanser is so wonderful it even takes off waterproof mascara. It works great at taking away all the dirt and makeup from the day without stripping your skin.
Great cleanser that doesn't dry out your skin. It removes makeup really well and isn't too pricey for what you get. A little goes along way, so it takes a good amount of time to get through the bottle.
This cleanser and simple and perfect. The smell to it is so calming before going to bed and it works wonders on cleansing my skin, but not to the point of being harsh.

The second finding is that there is a high correlation between variations in the Moon's gravitational field and its topography. "This, to me, is one of the most surprising things we found," says Zuber. The result suggests that the gravitational field of the Moon is dominated by its deep craters rather than the structure of its interior. This relationship between topography and gravity was closer for the Moon than for other terrestrial bodies such as Mars, Venus and Earth, Zuber says. "It actually makes you wonder how well we understand the other terrestrial planets."
Bradley Jolliff, a planetary scientist at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, says that this high correlation "will spark a good bit of debate". He adds that he also is confident that the full GRAIL data set will include some regions where the correlation is weaker — revealing important density variations in the Moon's subsurface.
Third, Zuber reported that GRAIL has not been able to confirm some of the larger and older impact basins hypothesized to exist on the Moon's surface. Lunar scientists examining the Moon's surface have tried to unravel the history of asteroid impacts — which would illuminate the evolution of not only the Moon but also other bodies of the inner Solar System — by defining areas where large impact basins might underlie more visible and obvious craters. But GRAIL hasn't found many of the hypothetical basins, Zuber says.
Zuber did not discuss one key goal of GRAIL: understanding the Moon's deep interior structure and core. Clive Neal, a lunar geologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, says that it will take more time to make these more complicated interpretations from the data. Zuber says the data from GRAIL's primary mission have already been processed and analyzed, which puts the mission a year ahead of schedule.

I still think ariel is ugly. Mismatched eyes, thick lips, big nose, etc. But she is becoming a really good actress, and I think I appreciate that much more.
lol..too bad..lets accept the fact..shes taking up the role of Huang Rong..Originally Posted by LuNaR
Well, I can't really force you to like her, cos I believe that people have different views... However, my view of her will never change... The cute girl she ever was, and ever will be... =)Originally Posted by foreva
btw, yongjian... I'm sorry you can't see the pics... I'll go find out why, but that will take a super long time due to my ignorance of the use of computer... Sorry... =(

its ok coolseason..thank you..i can c already..somehow i cant c juz now..maybe something wrong with the loading..Originally Posted by coolseason
and yes..i think lin yi chen is cute too n i like her acting..
Well, I actually have to agree with you on that. Ariel Lin is not pretty, but like you said, she's a good actress. You don`t have to be gorgeous to act well.Originally Posted by foreva
well..shes not pretty..but shes not ugly too...and at the very least..she is cute...Originally Posted by Qin_Shu_Bao
Who said that I don't like Ariel? I said that she's ugly, because her features are ugly, and she looks ugly without thick make up. I think she's cute too, but cute doesn't equate to being a beauty. I even think that my mum's friend who is about 50, short and fat is really cute.Originally Posted by coolseason
Anyway, I said that I appreciate her acting. Which is why I will rather watch Ariel in a drama compared to Rainie Yang or Cyndi Wang even though they are prettier. Rainie is really cute and pretty, but her acting is bad, and her hosting is boring, she is only a supporting character compared to AYA or Jacky Wu. Cyndi Wang's acting is just bad period.
Well, I'm sorry about my inferencing... =) Glad you like her...Originally Posted by foreva
Anyway, frankly speaking, compared to omany actresses I've supported so far, Ariel is one of the not so pretty ones(???), but I REALLY LOVE HER ACTING!!! Although I've only watched Tian Wai Fei Xian, her acting had already created a huge impact on me, as I really wonder how someone can actually play a witty, clever, innocent, cute, righteous, emotional and many many roles at once... She really rocks! =)
Drama Serial Maniac... The crazy one
yes..this is true..though she cant be compared to other actresses in terms of looks or figure..she juz acts really well n somehow she always seems to have the ability to attract audiences...Originally Posted by coolseason
hmm..'Tian Wai Fei Xian' is great..'It All Started With A Kiss' is great too..but somehow i dun like 'Tokyo Juliet'..watched the 1st few episodes n found it kinda boring..storyline isnt that gd as well...
Huang Rung is not supposed to be a gorgeous character anyways. IMO, Barbara Rung's portrayal of HR was by far the best ever and she was never pretty. I think Ariel can do fairly well with this role.
I like her alot more in Tian Wai Fei Xian, compared to It started with a Kiss, although I LOVE Joe in ISWAK, because he was so smart and cool in it, but ariel was creating so many problems for him, so it became a little annoying.
I think ariel can pull of the character pretty well, although I wonder how she will compare to Barbara and Zhou Xun. Personally, I think that Athena's portrayal was the weakest, and I didn't really like Julian as Guo Jing as well.Originally Posted by i_fotted
Sorry fans, but i seriously feel that she needs to lose some weight. This is just my opinion.
yes..i think so too..i always c Ariel with a small tummy in her drama series..gotta look quite carefully..lol..but most of the clothes picked for her would concede these flaws already, thus, its not gonna be easy spotting...Originally Posted by *aLySsA4eVa*
lol.... Well, I guess I've never notice that... Must look harder then...Originally Posted by YongJian
Drama Serial Maniac... The crazy one
haha..she seems to have slimmed down a bit in her latest dramas..so cant really find her tummy already..try searching in her older dramas..ehhh..i can remember IASWAS the last few episodes when she was wearing those fitting blouses..her tummy is obvious..Originally Posted by coolseason
She did okay in Love Contract with Mike He. Very sad ending though--but weird with the twist of "the end" and "fin"
hmmm..i dun really like the role she played in 'Love Contract'..somehow i am juz stuck to her image of Xiang Qin in IASWAK...Originally Posted by hkopinions
I like Ariel's performance in LC but Mike was a little too sissy I thought. I don't enjoy watching ISWAK coz Xiang Qin's character is too dumb & stupid haha! But credits to Ariel's acting this character till so convincing that I dislike XQ alot.
Okay my first drama of Ariel was TWFX, I think she did a pretty job there which leads me to watch later ISWAK, LC, True Love 18, Seventh Grade and now Tokyo Juliet. Watched her 2 movies as well, Kungfu Girls & Love Me, If You Can. The later is a must watch for Ariel's performance. She had a stunning portrayal of a lesbian character in the movie! I do admire Ariel as a natural acting talent.

[The following is an exact transcript of this podcast.]
When you think about an ecosystem, you usually think of the big animals that live there. The Serengeti's ruled by lions. And estuaries are populated by fishes, birds, snails and maybe the occasional otter. But there's more to an ecosystem than meets the eye. Because a team of scientists from the US and Mexico has found that parasites constitute a sizeable chunk of the biomass of an ecosystem.
The scientists catalogued and weighed all of the plants, animals and parasitic species living in three river estuaries. They found that in terms of sheer bulk, parasites represent about three percent of the biomass of these ecosystems. Pound for pound, one parasite—the trematode fluke that infects a certain snail—outweighs all of the estuaries' birds, which are the ecosystem's top predators. The results appear in the July 24 issue of Nature. That means that creatures you can't see might be even more important to the health of an ecosystem, and to its balance of power, than the ones you can see. For example, in these estuaries, snails that are infected with trematodes outnumber those that are fluke-free. Now that's what you call a controlling interest.
