The Unisex Approach to Foot Care from Elim
**Because foot care isn't just for females**
As flip flop season is practically all year round in the UAE, it is more important than ever to keep our toes in tip-top condition, and that goes for the gentleman too, who can often neglect this area of personal grooming, which is never a good look. Whether stepping onto the sand, hitting the mall or a fun day at a beach club, make sure your feet don't have people talking for all of the wrong reasons.
Luxury South African Spa brand, Elim is on hand with a solution to ensure you or your significant others foot faults are erased with ease. Their innovative product range is tipped to change your view of the pedicure forever with no harsh files and blades used to remove hard skin. Instead Elim's MediHeel 6-Step programme chemically breaks down bonds in the skin to remove dead skin cells, offering a smooth and conditioned foot that your partner will most definitely thank you for.
Foot No-No's & how MediHeel can help:
A callus is an area of hard, thickened skin that can cause pain when walking if left untreated. They are usually found on the heel area or under the ball of the foot and can be not only unsightly but uncomfortable too. Elim's Callus Removal Kit (AED 242) can be used either in-spa or at-home and comes with a MediHeel Tonic and Neutraliser which removes dead skin via a chemical process in one single application. A neutraliser is then applied to gently neutralise the chemicals in the MediHeel Tonic, restoring the pH balance of the skin and preventing any infection.
✘Dry Skin
Don't let your feet let you down with dry skin, especially around the noticeable heel area. Treat yourself to the Elim Foot Perfector Heel Balm (AED 168) that is performed in-spa as part of the MediHeel 6-Step programme, or can be purchased to apply daily at home as part of your daily routine. With a unique moisture lock system, this Foot Perfector contains a range of vitamins and oils to nourish and protect the feet, leaving them hydrated, soft and smooth.
✘Brittle Nails
It goes without saying that nails should be kept neatly trimmed, clear of dirt and cut squarely across the top. Cutting nails too short can cause the nail to ingrow as well as split with rough edges. Soaking in warm water before cutting can make the process easier. By adding Elim's Fungal Force (AED 180), a natural but active nail serum to your regime you will block any bacteria and control persistent and unsightly nail fungi. This radical treatment contains Tea Tree Oil and improves the nail's appearance in as little as 14-21 days.
✘Cracked Skin
Cracked skin that can appear around the heels is not only unattractive, it can lead to infection and cause pain. Using Elim's Alpha Hydroxy Acid Exfoliator (AED 182) helps to leave feet fresh and clean and contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal additives. As a bonus, it is also designed to leave the feet wrinkle free and reduce signs of ageing. The Elim Spa Additive (AED 112) can also be added as an intense treatment to hydrate and sanitise the feet, whilst Eucalyptus and Rosemary infusion help to boost circulation. Ultra Mud Clay (AED 35 when added to a MediHeel treatment) is a welcome addition to your treatment to heal cracked skin with its Volcanic Ash Clay, enriched with Honey, Ginger, Vitamin F and E. Its anti-biotic function helps heal wounds and leaves skin energised and repaired.
Elim Spa treatments are available for men at Joe Raad and Goodfellas and for women at Kozma & Kozma and Bedashing branches. Prices start at AED 80-100 for Callus Removal only when added to another service and the full salon treatment costs AED 250. Retail sized products also available to purchase to create a similar experience from the comfort of your own home.

Chicago Lollapalooza 2013
Last year Amos and I went to Chicago for Lollapalooza and it was a blast. It was my first time ever in Chicago and it is such a beautiful city. My favorite part of the city was the weather and architecture. All the buildings looked like a painting to me. Living in the south means that we have pretty hot summers so it was a nice change for the weather to not be so humid and not be drenched in sweat; especially since we were spending the majority of our time outside.
Amos has a close friend who lives in Chicago and we met up with her and we went to a few of the hot local spots to eat. The best restaurant we went to was the Girl and Goat. We made our reservations months in advanced and it was well worth it. The menu was set up where you order a few small plates and share with the table, which was great since you wanted to try everything.
The food and buildings were all beautiful, but our main purpose of course was the music. We lucked out and had these amazing passes that allowed us to be backstage and go into private sitting areas with free alcohol. It was so laid back and I loved all the acts. There is a band for everyone and I love that about these huge festivals. We would love to go back again some time, but we have other festivals that are on the top of our list now; however, we wouldn't mind just going back to see more of the city. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Night terrors shudder you awake before sun.
Make your way to the deep half-moonlit woods.
Wait for the curtain to be lifted, the switch flipped,
Blue-black lightens. All of a sudden, the birds.
Follow the trunks of your fellow beings, tall trees
Silhouette hands raised.
Know you will be okay as long as the birds rise
And the trees stand tall.
Stand like these trees, rise like these birds.
Tomorrow, float in a sea of pink compassion.

It is called "King of Bananas".This recipe had been our favourite snack since childhood and now it is my son's favourite too.When I was doing my college studies one of the dietitians I had met said one steamed nendran is equivalent to a plate of wholesome breakfast meal.By wholesome she means a complete combination of all nutrients like carbs,vitamins,minerals,proteins etc.It is so tasty,yummy,rich in nutrition and very healthy.It helps in weight gain.The potassium in this banana will help you prevent kidney stones and ulcers. This is a regular staple food for all Keralaites. It is extremely filling and a very simple recipe. Continue reading "Steamed Nendran Banana for babies-Steamed Kerala Banana for kids"

Oatmeal Crisps
It is a beautiful day today in Arizona, I never thought I would be saying that on July 17th. It is only going to be 98 degrees today, I feel like that is a cold front compared to the rest of the country right now. It is definitely a dry heat and not much humidity. I am still missing Michigan and the lake, but for now I will enjoy my cooking and entertaining. However, I left half my kitchen in Michigan since we are going back, so no kitchen aid or cutting board or my favorite utensils. I will have to improvise and make do. In my very first post I said I would talk later about Pete's and my relationship or how it all started, and since we just celebrated twenty two years together I figured now would be a good time to tell you our love story. We started dating back in the 70's, Pete is way older than I am, four years! The first time I saw him, my Father was the Golf Pro at Bloomington Country Club in Bloomington Illinois. I had just received my drivers license and went to tell my Father the good news. Pete and another friend of his, Michael Bradley were sitting there chatting, and when I walked in they asked my Dad, who is that girl? My Dad said don't even think about it boys. Will needless to say they decided to make a bet and play a few holes of golf, whoever had the lowest score would then win, and would ask me out. To my delight Pete won the bet and we went out, I was sixteen, he was twenty. It was love at first sight. I went home and told my parents this is the man I'm going to marry. We had a fabulous dating life for three years. I had always wanted to go to college and pursue a fashion career and had looked into it, but decided I wanted to travel instead. Pete graduated from Illinois Wesleyan and I graduated high school. We were sitting in our basement one night and he asked me to marry him, I started to cry and said I love you so much and you are the love of my life, but I feel I am to young to get married. We dated for another year, and then my parents went through a divorce, and being an only child I was devastated. I just knew I had to get out of the town I grew up in and pursue my dreams of travel, even though that meant leaving Pete behind. It was 1980 and I went off to become a Flight Attendant for Eastern Airlines. I trained in Miami and then off to New York City to live. I never got over Pete and compared everyone that I went out with to him. I had heard from mutual friends and family that Pete was getting married to a girl from our home town. I went on to marry a pilot for Eastern Air Lines and was married for three long years, in a very abusive marriage. I finally got the courage to leave one day after being locked in a 21 foot boat for three hours in Florida in the middle of summer. Pete was married for seven years. I was visiting my Mother one day in Illinois after my separation. Our parent's had remained friends over the years, and I got a call from Pete's Mother saying you are not going to believe this but Pete is separated too. I got off the phone and was jumping all over the place and so excited to hear that. I had never ever gotten over him, I would dream about him every night and always wondered how he was. He called me when I returned to Florida and said he had to see me, that he had never gotten over me either. It was just where we had left off years ago when we saw each other. We were apart for twelve years and then I finally married the love of my Life, and as I said we have been married now for twenty two years. We truly have been blessed to be each others best friend. We have two beautiful boys we couldn't be more proud of. And that is our love story. These cookies that I have posted today are one of Pete's favorites. This recipe came from another wonderful chef and one of our best friends, Larry Foster. Thanks Larry for always being there for us, and knowing the answer to every question we have ever asked. There is nothing better then these melt in your mouth, buttery, crispy, addictive Oatmeal Crisps.
Oatmeal Crisps
3 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
2 sticks butter (it has to be butter and I like Land O Lakes)
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Put 2 cups of the oats in the food processor and pulverize until finely ground and floury.
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until soft and smooth. Mix in the brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.
In another bowl, stir together both the ground and whole oatmeal, the baking soda and salt.
With the mixer running at low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just blended. (The cookie dough can be made and kept refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking. Or you can make lumps of dough and freeze them in a locked plastic bag, then take them out for baking a few at a time.
Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls onto the pan, leaving 3 inches between them, as they will spread. Bake until lightly browned, about 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the pan, then remove with a spatula.
I bet you can't each just one!

Please note, these bands run large and when stretched over long periods of time will become about 3-7% bigger. Please order them snug around your wrist and they will fit perfectly in the long-run.
Approximate original sizing is below, add up to an extra 0.5cm for stretching:
XS- Circumference: 15.5 cm/6.03inch
Small- Circumference: 17.5 cm /6.90inch
Medium- Circumference: 18.5 cm /7.13inch
Large- Circumference: 19.5 cm /7.49inch
Tip: Measure your wrist with tape measure or string. This size should be the same or smaller of a closed active band's inside circumference or CIRC. For example, the inside circumference of an XS (17cm) active band is 15.5cm. This will fit you if your wrist is 15.5 cm or less. If more than that, go up a size.
What is VYB-X ?
VYB-X is a personal energy system that helps bring your whole being into a state of balance where your body is stronger, your thoughts are clearer and your endurance levels are increased. Simply put, VYB-X just makes you feel better and harmonizes your mind and body so that you bring your best to whatever you do. Whether you are an athlete, student, parent or business executive—VYB-X will help your overall well-being.
VYB-X is similar to the Qlink products as they help protect you from harmful EMF pollution.
What Does VYB-X Do?
VYB-X , like Q-Link strengthens and fine-tunes the human biofield, making your mind and body more resistant to the effects of stress in any form, including electromagnetic fields (EMF), harmful emissions radiating from electronic equipment such as cell phones, computers and hair dryers.
Electromagnetic fields can stress the body in several ways, such as affecting your heart rate, disrupting your brain activity during sleep and even reducing your body's production of melatonin.
VYB-X uses subtle vibration programmed at the nano-level to create a stronger frequency for your biofield and those cells of which it is comprised, enabling your body to more capably resist the effects of any stress it's subjected to. Your body can reset and self-correct more quickly and easily. Cells communicate with each other by known methods of chemical reactions and through the biofield. They have a resonating frequency at which they operate in order to stay healthy, but these cells are affected by outside electric and magnetic environmental conditions. Subtle vibration can reinforce a cell's natural frequency to override outside environmental influences, which cause cells to communicate better. .
You will notice enhanced energy and strength, greater endurance and flexibility, and better balance and mental focus.
Scientifically Proven
BioMeridian is the world's largest manufacturer of Meridian Stress Assessment instrumentation, FDA-registered medical diagnostic equipment used by doctors and health practitioners around the world to assess functional health. These machines measure stress and energy levels in the human body. Upon completion of BioMeridian testing, VYB-X was proven to effectively lower and balance stress levels in the human body.
- When and where should I wear my VYB-X? VYB-X products work with your body's own energy system so it's to your advantage to wear it all the time, even while you sleep. Tests have shown that the product is effective as long as it is close to your biofield, therefore if the product is placed around your neck, in your hand, pocket, or even in your shoe – basically anywhere close to your body – The NVT (Nano Vibrational Technology) effects will be the same. However, our theory is that there are some minor benefits to wearing it closer to the area needing the most help. For example, if you are running laps around a track, keep it in your pants pocket close to your legs. There is no hard evidence as to whether or not multiple products increase the effects, but it is definitely not harmful.
- When will I feel the effects of my VYB-X? Solution Effects differ from person to person, ranging from subtle to very dramatic. Some feel these effects right away, whereas most will notice effects increasing through the duration of a 30-day period, at which point 80% report positive changes. Occasionally, we have customers who claim not to feel any effects. However, upon subsequent examination of these individuals, we usually find beneficial changes that have simply gone unrecognized, so even if you don't notice, VYB-X is helping you.
- How close to my skin does my VYB-X have to be? For maximum efficacy, wear your VYB-X as close as possible to your skin – no more than three inches away.
- Can I take a bath, shower or swim with my VYB-X on? We suggest that you not swim or bathe while wearing this bracelet.
- Does it ever need to be recharged? No, because VYB-X is ultimately powered by your own body's energy.
- What is the source of VYB-X 's power? VYB-X products operate through NVT (Nano Vibrational Technology). Each piece is embedded with an NVT chip, made of a specially selected non-magnetic material, chosen for its lattice structure and atomic properties. This raw material, which must meet strict criteria including a specific size, shape and weight, then goes through a special processing sequence. A thin film deposit is applied, at which point, the programming phase takes place. This is when the NVT is actually programmed into the chip.The programming phase uses techniques which are derived from the principles of electro migration and scalar induction to shape the material's nanostructure and form "statistical tuning circuits". The best example for statistical tuning circuits would be the ferromagnetic material, iron. Ferromagnetic material does not exhibit the properties of magnetism until it is itself magnetized by a magnetic source, meaning that the individual dipoles in the material are not aligned until it is forced by an external source such as a magnet. The strength of the retained magnetization is an effect of how many dipoles stay in the newly aligned position.This programming creates multiple identical tuning forks that emit their own frequency. Compare one singer versus a choir singing the same note. The combination of all the identical circuits/forks creates a subtle frequency/ vibrational energy, effective enough that it interacts with the biofield of humans. The NVT chip is programmed to emit not just one, but many unique frequencies chosen to be compatible with human cells. Simply put, VYB-X products are programmed to resonate with your body's own natural frequency, providing a stronger signal to help you function more efficiently. It's like pushing a child on a swing – if you don't hit that certain tempo, you won't get the swing to go any higher. VYB-X helps you hit your stride. What is the biofield?The biofield, as it is called by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), is an ensemble or matrix of different energies that extend outward from the body. A strong biofield not only supports and nourishes the body, but also strengthens a person's ability to cope with stress. A resilient and balanced biofield can be thought of as a protective force field against life's stresses. VYB-X tunes your body's biofield, allowing it to function at its optimum level.
- How is VYB-X different from magnet therapy products? Magnet therapy products claim to relieve and eliminate physical pain in a specific area of the body, while VYB-X boosts your overall mental, emotional and physical energy states at the most fundamental level of life energy.
- Is there any scientific testing backing VYB-X? FDA-Registered Medical Diagnostic equipment called Biomeridian, proves that VYB-X products (NVT technology) reduce stress in all areas of the body. Over 1,000 VYB-X (NVT) wearers were tested before and after wearing the product and all showed a significant reduction in stress levels immediately after putting the product on.
VYB-X does 3 important things:
1. It strengthens your resilience and resistance to the effects of stress.
2. It increases your energy and enhances your mental performance, especially under pressure.
3. It strengthens your capacity to function in EMF saturated environments. (EMF is the electromagnetic field generated by electronic devices and wireless communications).
- Protects from Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation
- Enhances mental clarity and awareness
- Increases energy and vitality
- Balances emotions
- Deepens restful sleep
- Improves athletic performance
About the VYB-X Active Band: Used by professional, Olympic athletes, and physicians around the world, VYB-X helps bring your whole world into a state of balance where your body is stronger, your thoughts are clearer, and your endurance levels are increased. The VYB-X bracelet uses the Nano Vibrational Technology (NVT) to create a stronger frequency for your Biofield enabling your body to resist the effects of stress and function at it's peak level of performance.

How to Bookmark a Web Page on Your Android Tablet
Need to remember a favorite website? For heaven's sake, don't fold down the corner of your Android tablet! Instead, just create a bookmark for that site. It's cinchy: Touch the Favorite icon near the Address box. Tap that icon and you see the Add Bookmark window.
You can edit the name to something shorter, especially if the web page's title is long. Shorter names look better in the Bookmarks window. Touch the Save button or OK button to create the bookmark.
After the bookmark is set, it appears in the list of bookmarks. To see the bookmark list in the Chrome app, touch the Action Overflow or Menu icon and choose the Bookmarks command. Chrome has three categories of bookmarks: Desktop Bookmarks, Other Bookmarks, and Mobile Bookmarks. (You choose the category from the Add Bookmark window.)
The Desktop Bookmarks folder contains any bookmarks you've used in the desktop version of Chrome, which is a handy way to import your computer's bookmarks. That information is coordinated with your Android tablet, courtesy of your Google account.
To browse bookmarks, open a bookmark folder. If necessary, touch a subfolder icon to open it. Then touch a bookmark to visit that page.
Remove a bookmark by long-pressing its entry in the Bookmarks list. Choose the Delete Bookmark command.
Bookmarked websites can also be placed on the Home screen: Long-press the bookmark thumbnail, and choose the Add to Home Screen command.
A handy way to create new bookmarks is to review the most visited sites in the Chrome app: When perusing your bookmarks, touch the Most Visited tab at the bottom of the screen. Touch a web page thumbnail to view that page, and then touch the Favorite icon to bookmark that page.

text: Today I typed up the logs I finished watching and recording yesterday in the formatted column that was requested of me. Because I had experience doing this, I finished the task quite efficiently and quickly. After the day was done, I went home to work on the assignment Mia wanted me to do. She wanted me to write a basic summary for the TV show "Weird Florida: On the Road Again". I learned that this summary is called a "treatment". The length of mine came out to be about three paragraphs long. I hope Mia likes it!

Case Studies
Highlight your company's success by nominating your costumer cases today
A case study describes the implementation of Cisco solutions within an organization, in order to help our customers understand how real results occur through the impact of our solutions.
The case studies offer exposure for our partners and allow them to demonstrate their success through their partnership with Cisco. A case study positions the customer and the partner as a center of excellence in IT, demonstrating best practices and innovation.
The cases are written documents of one or two pages describing the customer need, the solution implemented by Cisco and the partner, and the positive impact of the implementation.
These documents are available to the partner for their own use and they are also promoted by Cisco through different communication channels (Web, newsletters, social networks, etc.).
Cisco partners in Latin America can now submit their customer projects for Cisco to develop a case study.
Nomination process for case studies
- Checklist: Before nominating your case, be sure you can answer the following questions :
- - Has the possibility of developing a Case Study been discussed with the customer and have they agreed?
- - Has the solution been implemented for more than three months?
- - Has the solution created an impact that can be documented using indicators?
- Submission of nomination: send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and include the following information :
- - Name of the partner
- - Customer name
- - Internal Cisco contact and partner contact who has the relationship with the customer who will be the point of contact and approval.
- - Customer sector (industry in which the beneficiary organization operates)
- - Brief summary of the project implemented
The cases include an interview with the customer and the partner. Based on this information, the agency will develop a first draft to be sent to the parties for review. Once the document is approved, the process moves forward to final assembly and distribution of the document.
The whole production process may take 6 to 8 weeks.
*Cases nominated by partners are subject to approval by Cisco.

Caring About the Issues Facing Maryland
Let's repeal retirement income taxes as they separate families and hurt those who have worked hard their whole lives. The current tax structure drives money from Maryland– there is a reason Martin O'Malley moved to Delaware!
We are long overdue for major education reform. Dumping more money (that was promised by past public projects, no less) is not the solution. We can do better for our children. Barlow has experience and a plan.
Are we doing our best with zoning, for our faith-based partnerships, for our small businesses, for our first-responders?

It has long been the case that you're more attractive to an employer if you're fluent in more than one mainstream language. But it seems there's now a particularly high demand for computer hackers who can speak not only in the language of computer systems, but also in multiple real-world languages.
Arts Technica reports that with more and more money being made from the spreading of spam and malware, increased efforts are being made to attack specific targets. Hackers who can speak French, for instance, are perfectly placed to write malware aimed at French internet users.
Spam spelling set to improve
You may have noticed that much of the spam in your inbox is littered with more words spelled incorrectly than correctly. This is because most is written by people, particularly in China and Russia, who are not fluent English speakers.
The world of organised crime is becoming increasingly interested in cybercrime as a way to make money. And that's why multilingual computer coders are now in such high demand.
Don't be surprised if, in the next few years, you start receiving spam messages which are far more convincing than those 'by are amasing Viagra tabblets' ones you are receiving today.

Scariest Video Game Characters
Halloween is here again and who would we be to ignore it? With some of us on staff not actively trick-or-treating tonight we thought what better way to spend the evening than to do some long overdue reading? Well that seemed like a horrible idea so instead we all chipped in and picked our two scariest video game characters of all time. Not that any of us here at Gamesplash get scared or anything.
Chris's Picks
Zoltan "Carno" Carnovasch (Phantasmagoria)
This magician turned serial killer may seem harmless enough, until the demon he so foolishly summoned begins to take over. When that happens, watch out! Much like John Doe from Se7en, Carno had a penchant for dispatching his victims in a manner befitting of their lifestyle. Like to eat? Carno would force you to eat entrails until you choke. Like to garden? Carno would have buried you alive in potting soil. Although nearly a century has transpired since his passing, the demonic presence he unearthed remains - ready to strike its next unsuspecting victim...
Wheatley (Portal 2)
Although Wheatley began as a somewhat moronic personality core, his rise to madness became all too apparent in Portal 2's final act. Obsessed with the sense of euphoria testing brings, and willing to go to great lengths to get it, Wheatley is as psychotic as he is naive. Unlike GLaDOS, who despite her occasional murderous intentions, ultimately had a conscience, Wheatley has no such traits. Only in the face of utter defeat, having failed to kill Chell, did he show some semblance of remorse, and even then, only due to the unfortunate circumstance he had wound up in. Who would have thought someone initially so helpful, so downright pleasant could turn out into a Machiavelli reading, power hungry, killing machine?

TCI reacted to a letter sent by Volkswagen Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter to TCI, in which VW agreed with many criticisms previously raised by the hedge fund about the need to raise VW's performance and to reform its governance structure.
"It's a letter of fine ambitions but the key point is that the unions and, in particular, Lower Saxony have to back the management team now. Then this could be the turning point for Volkswagen," TCI partner Ben Walker told Reuters in a written statement on Wednesday.

Powerful 40x Optical Zoom with Intelligent IS helps optimize image stabilization for virtually shake-free images.
40x Optical Zoom (24–960mm)
With the
Intelligent IS
Intelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies a suitable shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the camera make effective IS settings to help capture a steady image.
|Still Image Shooting
Normal IS
Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills.
Panning IS
Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement.
Macro (Hybrid) IS
Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting.
When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed.
|Video Recording
Dynamic IS
Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking.
Powered IS
Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Macro (Hybrid) IS
Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting.
Active Tripod IS
When shooting video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake.

Zoom Framing Assist allows the camera to automatically zoom in or out while following the movement of your subject and help it to remain in focus.
With its 40x Optical Zoom lens, the
Zoom Framing Assist offers a seek assist function that detects when you're panning (for instance, to search for the location of a soccer player) and automatically zooms out to help; stop panning, and the zoom returns to its original position. Zoom Framing Assist keeps your subject's face the same size in your frame no matter how they move. Tap the Zoom Framing Assist function button to detect your subject's face. As your subject retreats and advances the camera automatically zooms in and out so their face remains the same size. It's especially useful for capturing the expressions of fast-moving children. The feature has been further enhanced by letting you choose the subject's size: choices include face, upper body, whole body, manual or off for superior assistance and control. And, for even more convenience, all Zoom Framing Assist functions are also available when shooting video.
Story Highlights enables the camera to automatically compile images and videos◊◊ from a certain day or event into a mini highlight reel with music and effects.

Jeff Lill is a popular man lately, as captain of the J.C. Widener, one of the state's few ice breakers.
After leaving its Annapolis harbor at 8:30 Wednesday morning, the Widener spent the day criss-crossing the waters off Anne Arundel County — beckoned for help from the creeks of the Severn River to government research buoys in the Chesapeake Bay. It cleared paths for a sea trial from an Annapolis marina, a waterman in search of rockfish on the South River, and a county fireboat in the West River's Parrish Creek.
"It would never have gotten out," Lill said of the fireboat, which luckily didn't have any emergencies to tend to. "They had ice 5 inches thick."
As this month's second blast of cold lingers, ice has collected on local bays, rivers and canals as it hasn't since perhaps the 1990s, said those whose livelihoods depend on the waterways. It is crimping seafood harvests, jacking up energy bills for marinas and prompting warnings for daredevils in ice skates.
Thawing is expected this weekend, but with nearly two months of winter left, there's no guarantee it will last. This month is expected to be among the ten coldest Januarys on record in Baltimore, and the nine days with single-digit lows recorded so far in Baltimore are the most for the month since 1982.
"I haven't worked for two weeks because of the ice," said Moochie Gilmer, a Kent Narrows waterman.
Another of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources' ice breakers, the A.V. Sandusky, cleared paths for dredging and construction in the waters east of Kent Island on Wednesday morning, but for Gilmer and his peers, it's too cold to make a difference.
"It freezes so quick at night now, it's probably not a big help unless you do have some open water somewhere to get to," Gilmer said. "Hopefully, next week when it starts to warm up, the more they break it up, the faster it will disappear."
The Chesapeake hasn't frozen over completely since the winter of 1977-1978, the fifth-coldest winter on record in Baltimore, because it occurs only after prolonged cold spells, said Jack Cover, general curator at the National Aquarium. He recalled skating on the Eastern Bay between Kent Island and the Eastern Shore while growing up, but that sort of ice coverage has been rare in recent years.
But with water temperatures falling to freezing and below, chunks of ice were covering as much as 70 percent of the waters the Widener traveled through Wednesday, said John Gallagher, director of hydrographic operations for the state Natural Resources Department. Ice sheets are thicker and larger on the Eastern Shore because of the cold northwesterly wind, keeping another state ship, the J.M. Tawes, busy clearing paths to and from Smith Island and Cambridge.
Snowfall can exacerbate icy conditions on the bay, not just because it's cold, but because it places a layer of fresh water atop the bay — water that freezes at closer to 32 degrees, rather than the 28 to 30 degrees needed to freeze brackish waters below and farther down the bay, Cover said.
The U.S. Coast Guard's cutters are also busy, keeping main commercial channels clear and rescuing boaters who have gotten trapped in the ice. In one case, a 30-foot sailboat that had ventured from Annapolis was trapped after drifting nearly to Poplar Island, close to Tilghman Island. Five people were rescued Tuesday from the boat, which was left behind to be towed at the owner's expense, said Jonathan Lindberg, a petty officer with the Coast Guard Sector Baltimore.
The 65-foot Coast Guard tugboat Chock is set to travel Thursday from its port in Baltimore to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal across the upper Eastern Shore to survey ice conditions in the upper bay and the canal, Lindberg said. The Coast Guard also brought up another cutter, the Elm, from North Carolina to assist with ice-breaking efforts.
On Middle River, few recreational boaters are venturing out into waters where they could meet ice floes several inches thick — not to mention the frigid winds that have rarely relented this month. Marina owners use motorized fans beneath their piers to keep ice from freezing, circulating warmer waters that sit at the bottom, keeping pilings and any boats left in the water clear of ice.
"We've been struggling to keep it up," said Frank Bean, marina manager at the Chesapeake Yachting Center at the mouth of Frog Mortar Creek. "We have like 30 [fans] on every pier that we have. It's been a bear with this cold weather, and I hate to see the electric bill."
Ice on smaller bodies of water around the region has meanwhile proved enticing for ice skaters and hockey players, but parks officials caution that it may not be as sturdy as it was decades ago when freezes were more common. Baltimore County parks officials warned visitors to Robert E. Lee Park in North Baltimore that they would be cited for trespassing if found on Lake Roland.
"People have those kind of Norman Rockwell nostalgic views of skating," said Barry Williams, director of the county's parks department. "The reality is Norman Rockwell never did a picture of someone drowning."
Temperatures were forecast to rise above freezing for the first time in four days Friday, reaching the lower 40s, with highs pushing 50 degrees over the weekend. But cold, albeit more seasonable than recent stretches, was forecast to return Monday, with temperatures in the 30s and chances for more wintry precipitation.

State Farm is changing the way the company and its agents handle some retail retirement accounts in response to a new Labor Department regulation that ups the standard of investment advice retirement savers receive.
Beginning in April 2017, when the Department of Labor rule comes into effect, State Farm will only sell and service mutual funds, variable products and tax-qualified bank deposit products through a self-directed customer call center, according to spokeswoman Rachael Risinger.
The news was originally reported by InvestmentNews sister publication Crain's Chicago Business.
State Farm's decision affects 12,000 State Farm agents around the country licensed to sell securities, two-thirds of the company's 18,000 total agents.
State Farm agents, who mainly sell the company's auto and home insurance, have sold investment products since the early 2000s. As of the end of 2015, State Farm managed $11.3 billion in assets it oversees in proprietary mutual funds, up from $10.6 billion a year before.
"Our self-directed call center representatives will make information and resources available to customers who will make their own decisions regarding their investments," Ms. Risinger said in an e-mailed statement.
"We feel this decision struck the right balance between serving our customers and adhering to the DOL rule," Ms. Risinger said.
The DOL regulation requires that advisers providing investment advice for a fee in retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s act as fiduciaries serving their clients' best interest. Brokers and agents today are held to a less-stringent standard of suitability.
In August, the Wall Street Journal reported that the brokerage Edward Jones will curtail mutual fund access for retirement savers in commission accounts and cut investment minimums to comply with the rule.
State Farm and Edward Jones are outliers, though — firms have largely been mum on how they're planning to handle the DOL rule when it comes into effect.
However, many more companies are likely to begin disclosing shortly their anticipated course of action, because the implementation deadline is drawing closer and firms must leave enough time to notify and train their adviser forces, who in turn must notify and educate their clients, according to Denise Valentine, senior analyst at Aite Group.
"I think we'll be hearing a lot more of this in the coming weeks," Ms. Valentine said. "It's not something you want to leave until next year."
Other companies may move to more fee-based business, avoid offering certain products in transaction-based accounts (similar to Edward Jones) or adopt a "self-directed" approach for some products (similar to State Farm) as a way to comply with the DOL rule, Ms. Valentine said.
Some firms have also strongly considered an approach whereby they level the commissions among similar products on a brokerage platform to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
State Farm agents will be able to continue offering fixed annuities to clients. Unlike variable annuities, which need a special, and more stringent, exemption under the DOL rule to be sold on commission, fixed annuities don't require such an exemption.
State Farm doesn't sell fixed indexed annuities, a subset of fixed annuity which like variable annuities fall under the enhanced compliance framework of the best-interest contract exemption (BICE).

|If you hate bones as much as this chap who's gritting his teeth, and staring daggers at the person who's making him gnaw his food like a dog, then . . .
|. . . stuffed chicken wings would be your kinda thing.
|No bones; no worries! You'll be licking your lips, not gritting your teeth.
|There you go, crispy chicken wings filled with fresh, juicy prawns, entirely boneless except for the tips – which I love gnawing on, but that's totally optional. What's not optional is the sweet chilli sauce . . . nor the ice-cold beer.
|You don't say! ldfd ldkfjld ldjfldjlljdfdldl jldlj. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .
(Recipe for 4 persons)
8 big chicken wings, tips and mid-joints only, washed and dried
5 pieces coriander root, pounded
1 large shallot, pounded
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
½ tsp salt
2 tsp brandy
2 tsp ginger juice
½ tsp sugar
¼ tsp ground white pepper
¼ cup sweet potato flour
vegetable oil for deep-frying
300 g prawns
3 water chestnuts,
peel, wash and chop roughly4 bird's eye chilli, or to taste
wash, trim, and chop finely½ tsp salt
1 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
dash of ground white pepper
To make 'chicken pockets', cut tendons around exposed tip of bones. Scrape/cut meat from each bone with a knife without damaging chicken skin. When bones are almost fully exposed, twist and remove smaller bone. Cut and remove bigger bone from joint.
Thoroughly mix chicken wings with marinade. Marinate for 6-8 hours.
To make the filling, shell and wash prawns. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. On a dry chopping board, with the side of a dry cleaver, flatten each prawn with a hard whack (or two). Place prawns in a bowl. Stir vigorously with a pair of chopsticks in one direction till sticky. This should take no more than a few minutes if prawns are dry. When prawn paste is sticky, add all other filling ingredients and mix thoroughly.
To deep-fry, fill chicken wings with prawn mixture till about 80% full. Dredge with sweet potato flour. Set aside for 5 minutes to let flour adhere well to chicken wings. Tap gently to remove any excess. Deep-fry wings in moderately hot oil over medium-low heat till just cooked and lightly brown, 4-5 minutes depending on size. Remove wings from oil. Reheat oil till just smoking. Refry wings till golden brown. Serve immediately with sweet chilli sauce on the side.

Human growth hormone
(HGH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone is responsible for stimulating the growth of lean muscle mass in the body and provides many other benefits beyond this simple process. When people are young their bodies produce several hundred micrograms of this hormone per day. This allows them to grow quickly and maintain their health and vigor at a high level. However, over time this production of hormone decreases to practically nil in the later stages of life. There came a time when medical science discovered that reintroduction of HGH into the body would allow for the return of strength, vigor, and many other signs of youth. This reintroduction came in the form of synthetically created human hormone injected into the body. This was considered a near miraculous cure for many ailments in the body but unfortunately it is also exorbitantly expensive. In the bid to provide a more cost effective alternative for the common man and woman pharmaceutical companies began experimenting with natural stimulation of the anterior pituitary gland. Many products came out of this but only two product formats seem to be effective. Those formats are HGH supplements and HGH sprays.
There has been a great deal of debate between these two types of product in regards to their efficacy. Many people wonder just which product is the best. Which delivers the goods, so to speak, in the best and therefore most cost effective manner? The truth is that both forms have their good points and the most effective HGH delivery method will depend on the needs and possibly the personality of the one using the product.
HGH sprays, such as Sytropin, are known for their fast acting property. These are the second fastest delivery method for HGH on the planet. Only injections will be faster and that is solely because the doctor is directly injection HGH into the body. An HGH spray is designed to get into the blood stream as quickly as possible and deliver its payload of nutritional stimulation to the anterior pituitary gland swiftly. It is the most effective form for people that want quick to arrive HGH for an upcoming work out.
HGH supplements, such as Genf20, are either pill or tablet forms that work slower than injections and sprays. Some of the material component of a pill or tablet is lost due to waste elimination elements of the body but this method is still the most effective for long lasting stimulation of the anterior pituitary gland. This type of supplement acts in a way that continues to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland all throughout the day. Generally the stimulation it is to a lesser extent than a spray, but it is a continual process. This method is very effective for individuals that simply want higher HGH levels all through the day.

Last year, I missed out in participating in Jim Goldstein's Best photos from 2007 Project. Jim is taking blog and website entries and posting them in his blog for all to share sometime on Tuesday the 13th of January. After looking hard at my photos from the past year I have decided to post my top 5 Favorite Photos of 2008. The only rule for this project was that I share photos taken within the calendar year of 2008.
It was a fun year photographing and blogging, especially with my new D200 and some accessories that I accumulated thru the year. I hope 09 brings some improvement and even more opportunity with planned trips to DC and Myrtle Beach, along with stuff from home!!!
Thanx to all for looking and especially to you who have made frequent trips back to this site over the years. I will post the link from Jim's site on this entry as soon as it comes up.

It can be difficult to find furniture that pleases both you and your partner or your family.
