Water (Aqua), Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Coco Glucoside, Glycerin, PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Carrageenan (Chondrus Crispus) (Carrageenan), Polyquaternium 37, Dimethicone PEG 7 Phosphate, Fragrance (Parfum), Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Sodium PCA, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract (Grape), Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract, Panthenol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Sodium Cocamidopropyl PG Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Potassium Chloride, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Potassium Sorbate, PPG 1 Trideceth 6, Citric Acid, Mica, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Ferulic Acid, Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Red 40 Lake (CI 16035) (CI 16035), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 119140)

Note: Our Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is formulated for fast (5 minutes) action and oxygen release, so there's no need to leave it on longer. Use whenever your skin needs a boost, a maximum of 3x weekly. Bliss tip: The oxygen levels reaching your facial tissues via natural blood microcirculation can drop by as much as 70% by the time you're thirty, and smoking and sun damage compound the problem. So if you want to keep looking young, avoid the smoke and wear your 'screen'. (SPF 20 and above for best effect.)

runs a size small
"I ordered these in a 7 & my toes were so crammed. I tried a 7.5 on in the store & they fit exactly the same as the 7. When I held the 2 sizes up to each other the 7.5 actually looked smaller than the 7! They also had a size 8 in the store (for 40% off) which fit a tiny bit loose but were comfortable. I am very happy with the look & comfort. They look exactly like Tabitha Simmons "Early" boot. One of the little pieces of fabric that hold down the straps did fall off the first day I wore them so the quality is not the greatest."

"I usually wear an 8.5 in boots with plenty of room for socks. I ordered these in 8.5, and they are way too short! I can barely get my feet in them with no socks They are also narrow in the toe box. They are adorable, and a fabulous copy of Tabitha Simmons Early Ankle Boot, so I will re-order in size 9. Not so comfy, but maybe if they fit properly, they would be. Two stars for the fit and comfort, but in looks they are five stars."

She not only taught in the classroom, but in everyday life. Those who knew her best and loved her most knew that Nancy's life was an example to be followed. Whether at school, at church, or at home, Nancy's life was filled with love, compassion and discipline. She loved her Lord, her family and her church and always put others before herself. Even in her final days, she continued to reach out to others and to express concern for them instead of her own circumstances. She blessed whoever was fortunate enough to know her.

ST. LOUIS - The chemical attacks in Syria could lower the bar for use of chemical weapons by terrorist organizations or rogue nations that could eventually pose a threat to the United States, says Alexander Garza, M.D., associate dean for public health practice and associate professor of epidemiology at Saint Louis University.
|Alexander Garza, M.D. joins Saint Louis University as the associate
dean for public health practice and associate professor
of epidemiology.
"These types of weapons were universally repudiated by the international community for very good reasons. They serve no purpose other than to kill indiscriminately in horrific ways and sow terror among the population," said Garza, former assistant secretary of health affairs and chief medical officer at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
When an event of this nature occurs, Garza says it has the potential to open the door to other terrorist elements or rogue nations that may have hesitated in the past. "If these types of chemical weapons get in the wrong hands it creates a dangerous situation that could be a potential threat to the U.S. as well," said Garza.
"It's highly unlikely that something like that would happen here; however, it is not impossible. This is what we refer to as a low probability, high impact threat. Although the risk is low, the impact can be devastating and consequently it is important for U.S. to focus on security measures to prevent acquisition, mitigate the consequences and prepare our nation to respond," he said.
In addition to preventing the use of these chemicals against the Syrian population, it's important for U.S. intelligence to know who has control of these chemicals and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands creating a potential threat to the U.S., Garza said.
"In the event that a chemical weapon is used in the US, the important aspects are mitigating the attack such as using detection technology in high threat, densely populated areas and also training people to respond in such an event," he said. "The problem with a chemical attack is that there is little to no notice that the attack is taking place. Usually the first sign of the attack is people falling sick, so it is extremely important to make sure the first responders are well trained and equipped to handle these situations."
Garza says the effects of such attacks are not just physical.
"A chemical attack will not only have physical effects, but also psychological and economic impacts. If you think about recent terrorist related attacks such as the anthrax letters of 2001 or even the Boston bombing this past spring, there were huge economic impacts that go above and beyond the immediate impact on life and property," Garza said.
He points to some concerns regarding the response to these weapons by President Barrack Obama.
"The President is walking a fine line. He doesn't want to bring the U.S. into another conflict in the Middle East, however, he has to show that this type of behavior is unacceptable among law-abiding countries," Garza said. "And he is also putting those countries that have not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention, as well as other terrorist organizations, on notice that these types of weapons will not be tolerated."

Yesterday adult film actress Jenna Jameson took to Twitter, blasting comedian Chelsea Handler. "Chelsea Handler makes fun of people's kids…Probably because she's a dried up old whore," the porn star tweeted, apparently unaware of the irony there.
The feud between the two started when Chelsea called Jenna "raunchy" to Katie Couric in Glamour, which seems pretty tame because, again, porn star. "Raunchy" is putting it mildly. You have become famous for having sex with strangers for money. Not judging, just saying.
Anyway, we're convinced the two of them are actually going after each other because they know that everyone in Hollywood is secretly confusing the two of them at parties, leading to some wacky and embarrassing cases of mistaken identity. But we can totally see why people have a hard time telling them apart!

The Lumix DMC-GF2 is Panasonic's second 'pocketable' compact to employ the Micro Four Thirds standard it co-developed with Olympus. Announced in November 2010, it's the successor to the popular Lumix GF1, and like that model packs a large sensor into a small body with a removable lens mount.
The most obvious difference between the Lumix GF2 and its predecessor is size: the new model is 19% smaller and 7% lighter, making it the smallest camera with interchangeable lenses and a built-in flash; note the Sony NEX-3 and 5 employ tiny external flashguns.
While the GF2's styling may look similar to its predecessor, you can see from the photo below how the lens mount (and lens barrel) protrudes above the top of the main body in a similar way to the Sony NEX-5. Eagle-eyed Panasonic followers will also note how the redesigned grip on the GF2 looks inspired by that on the Lumix LX5.
Other key changes include the addition of a touch-screen which replaces many of the GF1's physical controls, 1080i video recording and a newly designed flash which pops-up higher to minimise red-eye and potential shadows from larger lenses. The GF2 is also available in black, silver, white, red and pink. In our full review of the Lumix GF2 we'll see how it compares against its two main rivals: Sony's NEX-3 and the Olympus E-PL2. Read on to find out which is the large-sensor compact for you!
Viewed from above, the Lumix GF2 reveals several key changes from its predecessor. Despite a reduction in size, Panasonic's thankfully retained the hotshoe and accessory port for the optional EVF, but the mode dial and drive lever which surrounded it have gone. In their place are new stereo microphones, albeit both located to the right of the hotshoe and lens axis.
There's still a dedicated button to start recording video in any mode, but this is now joined by a new button for entering the GF2's Intelligent Auto iA mode. The GF2 does of course offer alternative modes, but these are now accessed using the new touch-sensitive screen on the rear.
The GF2 body plus battery and card weighs 310g, which shaves 31g from the original GF1. Add the new lightweight 14mm f2.5 pancake prime lens and the total weight of the operational GF2 becomes 365g. The GF2 measures 113x68x33mm compared to the 119x71x36mm of the GF1, so is 6mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 3mm thinner; these all add up to a body which is noticeably smaller.
Side-by-side with its main rival, the Olympus E-PL2, the GF2 body is more compact, and 51g lighter. The GF2 looks a lot slimmer than the E-PL2, primarily because of the latter's bulging hand grip. But the difference in body size is somewhat evened up when both cameras are fitted with their 14-42mm kit lens – the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 stabilized lens being considerably bulkier than the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6. With their 14-42mm kit zooms attached, at 475g the GF2 is actually 2 grams heavier then the E-PL2 kit.
The rear-panel controls have likewise been simplified. The thumbwheel control is retained but the AF/AE lock, AF/MF preview and Display buttons have gone, all but the last, which is moved to the touch-screen, can be assigned via the custom menu to the Q.menu/Fn button.
The Lumix GF2's connection ports have been moved to the right side of the camera. Under the plastic flap is a mini Type-C HDMI port, and a combined USB and TV output. The HDMI port can be used to deliver high definition slideshows or movie playback on an HDTV and can be configured to output 1080i, 720p or 576p / 480p, the latter modes depending on whether it's set to PAL or NTSC. There's also a Viera Link option which allows the GF2 to be controlled by compatible Panasonic TVs over an HDMI link. There's no remote terminal for the optional DMW-RSL1 cable release though; note the Olympus E-PL2 supports a cable release accessory.
On the bottom of the camera the tripod bush is centrally located directly beneath the lens mount and the card and battery compartment is on the right. The GF2 takes SD cards and is compatible with HC and XC versions; you'll need Class 4 or faster for AVCHD movies or Class 6 for Motion JPEG.
Like its predecessor, the Lumix GF2 has a built-in pop-up flash unit which is mechanically activated by a button just behind it in the left top corner of the rear panel. The extension arm has been redesigned though so the flash now extends further upwards and forwards, reducing the potential for vignetting and red-eye. With a guide number of 6 meters at 100 ISO, the flash output is the same as before. Marginally less powerful than that on the Olympus E-PL2, with a maximum range of less than two metres it won't light up a large room. Increase the ISO to 200 and that becomes a more useful (nearly) two and a half metres. If that's not sufficient, you can of course mount an external unit in the hotshoe.
With the flash raised, you can choose from Auto, Auto with red-eye reduction, Forced-on, Forced-on with red-eye reduction, Slow-sync, Slow-sync with red-eye reduction. There's no forced off option as you can achieve that by simply pushing the flash back into the body as it won't raise on its own accord. The red-eye reduction fires a pre-flash, but if red-eye removal is enabled in the menus, digital correction is also applied before saving.
The Lumix GF2 Lithium-Ion battery provides sufficient power to shoot about 300 pictures with the 14-42mm kit zoom attached, using the CIPA standard. Swap that for the 14mm f2.5 pancake prime and you'll get an additional 20 shots before the battery runs dry. If you're exclusively shooting video that equates to 150 and 160 minutes of total recording time.
The Lumix DMC-GF2 is equipped with a standard Micro Four Thirds lens mount and, like full-sized Four Thirds bodies, its sensor results in a field-reduction of two times – so the 14mm and 14-42mm kit lenses offer equivalent coverage of 28mm and 28-84mm respectively. The GF2 can use any Micro Four Thirds lens, and thanks to the short sensor to mount distance, various adapters allow it to accommodate a number of other lenses. Most obviously there's an adapter for full-sized Four Thirds lenses, but additional third party adapters allow you to mount Nikon F, Canon FD, Pentax K, OM system, Voigtlander and Leica M lenses. Note there may be restrictions regarding autofocus, particularly during movies, with certain Micro Four Thirds lenses - see Panasonic's Lumix GF2 lens compatibility page for full details.
The Lumix GF2 is available as a body only, or in a kit with either the 14-42mm kit zoom (H-FS014042E), or the 14mm f2.5 pancake prime (H-H014) (which doesn't have optical stabilisation), or with both. We tested the GF2 with both lenses, using the kit zoom for our main results and gallery pages, and the 14mm for a special report on this new lens - see our results pages.
With the 14-42mm zoom attached, you can immediately see why all of Panasonic's publicity shots show the camera with the diminutive 14mm pancake prime attached instead. The kit zoom adds significantly to the camera's size and weight but, while the 14-42mm is undoubtedly on the large side, it's comfortable in use, providing a solid purchase for your left hand. Unlike the zoom on the Olympus E-PL2, the ridged zoom ring on the Panasonic lens is located well forward of the camera body which means you can hold it in the conventional manner with your hand supporting it from below. The zoom action of the Panasonic lens, however, is not as smooth as on the Olympus or Sony lenses and we found it very difficult to get good results while shooting video.
Among the 14-42mm kit lens' advantages are it's excellent quality and it's fast and silent auto focussing. The latter is a particular advantage for shooting video and combined with the GF2's touch screen focussing makes for some very slick manual focus pulling.
At its maximum 42mm focal length the front section of the lens extends to give a total length of 88mm. Like the Olympus and Sony lenses, it doesn't rotate, so you can use a circular polariser in the 52mm thread. It's also supplied with a bayonet lens hood which can be reverse-mounted for compactness when not in use. Note unlike the Olympus 14-42mm, neither the Panasonic nor Sony kit zooms can be retracted for transportation.
The Lumix GF2 body has no in-built stabilisation, but the 14-42mm kit lens is stabilised using the same MEGA O.I.S lens-shift system available on the Lumix compact range. Both sensor and lens-based stabilisation systems have their proponents; fans of the lens-based approach will tell you that unstabilised bodies are more compact and therefore you don't have carry stabilisation with you when you don't want or need it. The fact that both the Lumix GF2 and Sony NEX-3/5 bodies are significantly smaller than the Olympus E-PL2 bears this out. The obvious downside is if you do want stabilisation, you'll need to choose a lens which features it, whereas the built-in stabilisation of the Olympus bodies works with any lens you attach, including primes and wide-angles. There are other optically stabilised lenses in the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds range, but it tends to be reserved for telephoto zooms. Neither the 14mm f2.5 nor 20mm f1.8 pancake primes are stabilised - unless of course you mount them on an Olympus body.
So, at the risk of stating the obvious, it's the 14-42mm kit lens lens were testing here, rather than the camera, and we did so by zooming it to its maximum telephoto range of 42mm (84mm equivalent) and taking a series of handheld shots at a range of shutter speeds both with the stabilisation turned off and with it turned on in Mode 1 (continuous).
The crops above are from shots taken with the GF2 in Shutter Priority mode with an exposure of 1/10th of a second. The one on the left was shot with MEGA O.I.S turned off and the one on the right with it set to mode 1 (continuous). Ordinarily with an 84mm (equivalent) lens you'd expect to be using a shutter speed of around an 80th of a second to avoid camera shake. So the 14-42mm's MEGA O.I.S. stabilisation is providing a full three stops.
We actually managed to get sharp results at 1/25th of a second with the stabilisation turned off, so the difference is a less impressive. Having said that, the GF2 manages a little better than the Olympus E-PL2 with the M.Zuiko 14-42mm, which just about managed to eliminate camera shake at 1/15th of a second.
Like all micro Four Thirds cameras, the Lumix GF2 relies on a contrast-based AF system in Live View. Though initially sluggish, speeds have improved dramatically and are now as good and, in some cases even better than the phase-change systems on most budget DSLRs.
The DMC-GF2 has four AF modes which can be directly selected by pressing the left button on the control pad. Face detection is the default AF mode in iAuto shooting mode, but can be selected for other modes as well. Alongside that there's 23-area AF, single area AF and tracking AF. The GF2's 23 areas provide greater coverage in smaller sectors than the Olympus E-PL2's 11-area AF system, but in practice both were very swift, the GF2 beating the E-PL2 by a fraction of a second on most occasions.
Being able to access the AF options from a single click of the control pad is great, but it would have been even better if manual focus was on this menu as well. As it is it's on the Focus mode menu, along with AF single and AF continuous options which determine whether autofocus operates continuously, or only with first press of the shutter release. You can, of course, add Focus modes to the Quick menu, or even assign it to the Quick menu/Fn button.
The GF2's focussing is quick and decisive in all modes. The ability to quickly switch AF modes is useful, but it's the touch-screen that gives the GF2 a unique advantage over its competitors. Tapping the screen in single area mode identifies the precise part of the screen you want the AF to select and the single area in that position is used. You can also do this in 23-Area AF mode, in which case the camera selects a group of AF regions around the touched location. In tracking mode you can touch to select the object to be tracked.
The focus ring on the lens is used for manual focussing. With MF Assist activated the screen automatically zooms to 5x magnification to give you a better view and in practice this makes focussing very quick and easy. Touching the screen in manual focus mode also activates the magnified MF Assist view which is useful if you just want to make a final check.
It's also worth mentioning the GF2 features the same Panasonic face recognition feature as some of its compacts. Once registered, focus and exposure can be prioritised on up to six faces. Names also appear on screen when registered faces are recognised and when in iA mode the Baby scene mode is automatically selected for anyone aged under three.
Available focussing modes on the GF2 are dependent on the lens. The GF2 worked in AF Continuous mode with both the Lumix 14mm pancake prime and the 14-42mm kit zoom as well as the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm kit lens. But lenses from other manufacturers, and even some Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses may have limitations including inability to function in AFC and even AFS focus modes. Similarly, most Four thirds lenses used with an adapter won't work in AFC mode. You can find full compatibility details for most Panasonic and Olympus lenses on Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds lens compatibility web page.
The Lumix GF2 retains the 3in / 460k screen specification as its predecessor, but it now becomes touch-sensitive. As we've already mentioned, you can tap to focus on a specific area and even trigger the shutter via the screen if desired, although there is of course still a traditional shutter release button on the top. Like earlier Panasonic cameras, the super-imposed Q-menu allows you to adjust a wide variety of settings, and this too can be controlled by touch if desired, along with being customisable to only show the options you regularly need access to.
The touch-screen is very responsive, but it takes a while to get used to using it in preference to the physical controls where they exist. Out of habit we found ourselves frequently using the Q.menu button and then using the control pad to navigate it, rather than touching the screen icons.
But the GF2 is a very customisable camera and by assigning the Q.menu/Fn button to another function you can quickly overcome that problem. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see the physical button count decrease in future models as the touch screen is every bit as good for making menu selections.
Although it shares the same 460k pixel resolution as the Olympus E-PL2, the Lumix GF2 screen displays a punchier, more contrasty image, that's a little easier to see in bright sunlight. Like the E-PL2, you can attach an optional electronic viewfinder to the GF2's hotshoe which mates with the accessory port just behind and below it. The Olympus VF-2 and Panasonic LVF1 may both be electronic viewfinders which can vertically tilt and replicate what you see on the screen with 100% coverage, but both are worlds apart in quality. After the superb 'Live View Finders' of the larger Lumix G1 and GHx models, Panasonic decided to keep costs down on the LVF1 by equipping it with an average 202k pixel resolution. Olympus has gone the other way with its VF-2. This larger unit boasts 1440k dot resolution for a much more detailed image, albeit with a smaller quoted magnification of 1.15x to the Panasonic's 1.4x. The Olympus finder is correspondingly more expensive, but neither can exactly be described as cheap. If you really want an EVF, it may be worth considering the larger Lumix G models which have them built-in.
Another thing the GF2 has in common with the E-PL2 is the 3:2 aspect ratio of the screen. This means that for stills shooting in the native 4:3 aspect ratio, there are narrow vertical black bars down the sides, but the touch-icons extend into this area. The exposure mode is displayed in the top left corner of the screen and touching the icon displays an overlay with a choice of all modes, maybe not as instant as a physical mode dial, but easily good enough, given that you can quickly switch from your preferred exposure mode to iA mode and back with the iA button.
Another way to get to the shooting mode screen is to press the menu button at the centre of the control pad. The top-level menu is a six button screen providing access to Rec mode, Rec (shooting), Motion picture, Custom, Setup and Playback settings. Once again, you can navigate and select using the control pad, but it's far quicker and easier just to touch them. Once you get to the second-tier menu, however, none of the menus is touch-sensitive, so you've got to use the pad. It would be so much better if you were able to drag to scroll and touch to select here; having introduced a touch-screen it looks like Panasonic has more work to do to fully integrate it.
A display touch icon toggles the information overlay which can itself be configured to accommodate a variety of data including shooting mode, image size and quality, exposure and ISO, flash mode, stabilisation and focus and metering modes. The screen can also be overlayed with a grid and a live histogram which you can drag to position anywhere convenient. In playback mode the display icon toggles between a basic information overlay, detailed information display, a histogram display with separate red, green, blue and luminance displays, a highlight clipping display and no overlay.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 offers the same three metering options as the GF1: Multiple, Centre-weighted and Spot. We used the default Multiple metering during our tests and found very few occasions when compensation was required; you can see various samples in our results and gallery pages. Shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 60 seconds are directly available in Shutter Priority or Manual, but the GF1's Bulb option in Manual, which offered longer exposures to a maximum of four minutes is no more; the fastest flash sync speed is 1/160.
The GF2 employs a single thumb dial with a push function, which allows you to easily adjust either the shutter or aperture in Manual mode. In Shutter and Aperture Priority, pushing the dial inwards allows you to adjust the exposure compensation. It's a neat system which eliminates the need for twin dials and work a little more intuitively than the system on the Olympus E-PL2, which uses the control dial and OK button. Like most things, you can assign aperture and shutter speed controls to the Q.menu and adjust then use the touch screen, but the thumbwheel works so well we doubt most people will bother.
In addition to the traditional PASM modes, the SCN touch icon on the Rec mode menu allows you to choose between 17 presets. The My Colours Mode alternatively allows you to shoot in Auto but applies a choice of coloured effects – note these are in addition to the various Film Modes available in other modes. The GF2 offers three Custom modes, one more than the GF1, which access previously registered settings.
The contrast-based AF system of the Lumix GF2 additionally allows Panasonic to implement its full Intelligent Auto (iA) mode as seen on its latest compacts. This exploits a number of technologies including Scene detection, face detection, digital red-eye removal, Intelligent ISO, Intelligent exposure, Long shutter noise reduction, Quick AF, focus priority and backlight compensation to deliver a seamless automatic experience that has an uncanny ability of figuring out what you're trying to take.
We found the GF2 seamlessly switched between Landscape mode when pointed at a distant scenery, Macro when moved toward a close subject, and Portrait with Face Detection when turned towards people. You can even drag an on-screen slider with your finger to choose the degree of background bluriness, thereby working like a beginner-friendly version of aperture priority. Overall iA continues to be one of the cleverest fully automatic modes we've tested, exploiting the camera's full range of technologies, and fulfils Micro Four Thirds' brief to be easier to use than a traditional DSLR by complete beginners. We'd certainly be happy leaving it set to Intelligent Auto for general day-to-day shots or trusting it for capturing spontaneous moments.
In terms of exposure bracketing, Panasonic has taken a small step backwards offering a maximum 5-frames with one third or two thirds of a stop between them. HDR fans will be disappointed to see the seven frame option of the GF1 dropped, and the GF2 is bettered in this respect by the Olympus E-PL2 which offers 3, 5 and 7 frame bracketing.
The GF2's sensor and image processor support 1080i video – a big upgrade over the 720p mode of its predecessor. The Lumix GF2 offers 1080i at 60 or 50Hz for NTSC or PAL regions, or 720p at 60p or 50p, again for the same regions. In NTSC regions 1080i HD movies are output from the sensor at 30fps and encoded at 60i, and in PAL regions are output from the sensor at 25fps and encoded at 50i. 720p AVCHD movies are output from the sensor at 30fps and encoded at 60p, in PAL regions they're output at 25fps and encoded at 50p.
These modes are encoded using AVCHD, but like most Panasonic cameras, there's an alternative mode which can record 720p or lower resolutions with the more editing-friendly Motion JPEG codec. Motion JPEG movies are always encoded at 30fps regardless of region. Continuous shooting times with the motion JPEG settings are quite restrictive, the 2GB file size limit being reached in around 8 minutes at the 720p resolution. The only limit on AVCHD recording is your card or battery capacity. That is, unless you live in Europe, where VAT regulations make it necessary for manufacturers to limit continuous recording times; in the case of the GF2 to a second short of thirty minutes. While frustrating, that's still a lot longer than the effective 8 minute limit of the Motion JPEG mode though. Note AVCHD movies on the GF2 require Class 4 memory cards or quicker, while Motion JPEG movies require Class 6 cards.
As mentioned above, there's now built-in stereo microphones with adjustable levels, although unfortunately unlike the Olympus E-PL2 (via an additional accessory anyway) no way to connect an external microphone. Like the Lumix LX5, Intelligent Auto is also available for movies, and the GF2's touch-screen also allows you to adjust focus by tapping the desired area as you film.
The biggest practical problem we encountered while shooting video with the Lumix GF2 fitted with the 14-42mm kit lens, was the near impossibility of smooth zooming. The mechanical linkages on both the Olympus 14-42mm and Sony 18-55mm kit lenses were smoother, but the truth is none of these manual zooms provide anything like the result you get from a motorised compact zoom. As you can see from the clips below, with continuous AF enabled, the GF2 does a fairly good job of maintaining focus while zooming, it loses it a little every now and then, but is quick to recover. And like the Olympus E-PL2 its autofocus motor is silent. In Focussing terms the touch screen provides a feature that the competition can't match though and that's the ability to re-focus on different subjects by simply touching the screen. If you manage to do this without wobbling the camera, it's a great way to produce slick-looking manual focus in your movies.
The Zoom on the Vario 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens is impossibly difficult to operate smothly. Although the focus wanders a little during zooming, it's quickly recovered. You can see an alternative example from our Queenstown location below.
In this tripod-mounted panning shot above, the GF2 makes a fairly good job of difficult lighting conditions, but has problems holding the focus during the zoom. Like the mono mic on the E-PL2 the GF2's stereo mics are prone to picking up wind noise.
Good exposure and white balance on this interior hand-held panning shot, but this time the GF2 has a real problem with AFC wandering during the pan.
The Lumix GF2 offers three continuous shooting speeds; Low, Medium and High with frame rates of 2, 2.5 and 3.2fps respectively. On the High setting Live view is disabled.
We tested the GF2's burst modes using a freshly formatted Lexar Professional 133x 8GB SDHC card with the camera set to produce large fine JPEGs. Our test results for the L, M and H modes came out slightly slower than Panasonic's quoted figures at 1.8, 2.4 and 2.85fps respectively. The GF2 can't maintain these speeds for very long either. At the slowest L setting we managed a burst of 20 frames before the camera stalled, while at the M and H settings the camera stalled after 12 frames; long enough to get a decent sequence, but not continuous in the generally accepted meaning of the term, which presumably is why Panasonic call it a 'Burst' mode. The good news is these figures don't get much worse when shooting RAW. You can shoot a burst of 5 RAW frames at the H speed.
At the heart of the Lumix GF2 is a 12.1 Megapixel (effective) Live MOS sensor which we believe is the same as that in the Lumix G2. The resolution may be the same as the earlier GF1, but the new model features Panasonic's latest Venus FHD processor which offers a number of tricks including Intelligent Resolution which applies selective sharpening to enhance images and Intelligent dynamic range control. The sensitivity range runs from 100 to 6400 ISO and shutter speeds manual modes can be set from 60 seconds to 1/4000th though, as we've mentioned earlier there's no bulb setting.
To see how the quality of the Lumix GF2 measures-up in practice, take a look at our real-life resolution and high ISO noise results pages (where you'll also find a report on the new 14mm pancake prime lens), browse the sample images gallery, or skip to the chase and head straight for our verdict.

Coercion - why we listen to what "they" say
I picked up a new book, Coercion. So far it's a pretty good book. It talks about the ways the media, sales, and retail personel manipulate us without us being the wiser.
In the section I just finished reading, a retired auto salesman is describing to the author a popular way to break through the buyers defenses and make them more responsive to coercion.
As Miller explained, "Somewhere during that demo drive, while you're making your trial close -- not asking for the sale yet -- you ask him, in these exact words, 'Is this the type of vehicle you would like to own?' It happens. And anyone will tell you this, the vacuum cleaner salesman, the carpet salesman - the customer has a split second of insanity. The mind goes blank, the body paralyzes, the eyes get glassy, dilated. And you'd be surprised how many people have an accident at just that moment! Ask any car dealer. We always joke about it."
How could a single question provoke such an extreme response? Partly because it relies on disassociation. The customer is already in a vehicle, being asked to imagine himself owning the same type of vehicle. It's the same as if I asked you if this is the kind of book you can imagine yourself reading. Your current situation is reframed in fantasy. It creates a momentary confusion, or disassociation, from the activity you're involved in. That's why so many drivers crash. They are no longer just driving the car but imagining themselves driving the car. It is a momtary loss of awareness, during which the customer's defense mechanisms and rational processes are disabled.
So far I think the book is great and would recomment it to everyone. I'll let you know more as I read on.

Not in the exact dictionary meaning of the word, but the English Vinglish actor nurses an emotion close to green-eyed monster-ish!
As the one-time top billing leading lady Sridevi is gearing to return to the silver screen – she will be seen in Gauri Shinde's English Vinglish – the shy actor has opened up… and how! She's been indulging in conversations left, right and centre, obviously to promote her film, yet it's a pleasant change to watch her in this new avatar.
It was during one such chat that we found out that there is a role she would like to do, but this one's behind the camera. No, not direction, 'coz Sri once said, "That's not my cup of tea at all… It's not easy to direct a film. It entails tremendous responsibilities."
Coming back the new role – this yummy mummy would like to have enlisted in production. Producer hubby Boney Kapoor isn't the source of inspiration; the motivation is a much younger and far fitter man. When the English Vinglish actor was asked about a recent film she wished she had been part of, she replied: "Vicky Donor. I loved the movie. I wish I could have produced it." Remember that handsome hunk John Abraham launched his career with the Ayushmann Khurana-Yami Gautam starrer? We are sure after reading the once-upon-a-time reigning queen's reaction, John's dil to garden garden ho gaya!

Skip to comments.Islamists at Westminster Cathedral
Posted on 09/17/2006 2:27:05 PM PDT by jdm
Worshippers coming out of services at Londons Westminster Cathedral today were greeted by a gang of Islamists, reports Joee Blogs - a Catholic Londoner.
As we came out about 100 Islamists were chanting slogans such as Pope Benedict go to Hell, Pope Benedict you will pay, the Muja Hadeen are coming your way, Pope Benedict watch your back, and other hateful things.
View Comments
Arent British Cathedrals Anglican?
Wow! Thanks for this report. I notice there's a young girl at the left hand side of the photo. Poor thing. I know she's grown up in Islam and doesn't know any better, but it is so sad to see her rejecting her potential freedom.
This one is Catholic. A cathedral is the church of a bishop, and this is the church of the Catholic bishop.
Wow, you're a fast typer!
Peaceful little buggers aren't they ?
We're peaceful and we'll hang anyone who sez otherwise if it weren't so deadly would be funny.............
Never mistake one of them for a mosque, that's fur shur.
Actually, I just popped onto FR and your post was the first (and most interesting!) that caught my eye. Thanks for posting!
I don't know about you, but I've known since 9-11 that we of the Judeo/Christian Western Civilization were at War with Islam.
Also, please spare me any talk of "Moderate Islam". I have yet to see where the "Radical Islamo-Fascists" have been denounced by any other Muzzies, and I'm not going to waste my time trying to find them.
Always always always, evil hides it's face.
Well, except for the Hagia Sophia, which was converted into a mosque (forcibly, may I add) many centuries ago.
The style is not important, actually. The word "cathedral" comes from the Latin word "cathedra," which means "chair" in English. That is because the bishop's chair - or seat - is actually at that church, meaning that he is the permanent bishop of that geographical diocese. If you go into a Catholic cathedral, you will see an actual chair where the bishop of that diocese sits when he is there. Currently it is usually on the congregation's left, behind the lectern that used to be known as the "Gospel side" of the altar. I assume the same is true for Anglicans.
I believe that WWIII, Judeo/Christian Western Civilization vs. islamofacist barbarianism began in November 1979 when our territory, namely the Embasssy in Tehran, Iran, was seized.
Our anemic response emboldened these cretins.
That way, by murdering them first, they get to loot the house and personal belongings before anybody else finds out.
Really a bold bunch o'blokes...some of them actually have their noses uncovered.
Yes exactly.
To bless Mohamed who's already there? I don't think so.
Looks like a rather anemic protest, but its a start.
Islam.. Nexus of Evil.
Catholic Ping List
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Those unfortunate creatures holding signs need to find something in life that interests them! They have got to stop centering their lives on hating the infidels. They need to go to the mall to shop for nice-looking clothing rather than trying to find a nice-looking knife for cutting infidels' necks. They have got to enjoy their children rather than waiting until they are big enough for a bomb strap to fit around their waist.
They need to find G-d and reconciliation and forgiveness rather than their current substitute.
I appreciate this post, thanks.
And the building behind the posters is not the cathedral.
What happened to all the good "behead the infidel signs."
I do not disagree.... but an easier quicker pathway may exist!!
Let's get their imamas... mullahs... clerics....
Whoevers/ Whatevers... in a moderated public debate....
When it is proved to them by objective standards...
And any who will listen...
...That their main book is a spurious work of man -- who may have been inspired by "something or someone"... but certainly WAS NOT a true messenger of God....
Pull the foundational documents -- uproot the doctrines... invite them to repentance and a true knowledge of God....
The next day/week/month/... will be an interesting season...
But it may be MORE expensive in the longer view -- NOT to challenge their foundational scriptures... thus undermining the "revelation" that gave birth to all this perverse and violent "faith".
Brace yourselves for a shock. You're now 'papists' :-)
LOL! A tax audit is probably worse than being beheaded.
Westminster Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral. However, since the Muslims have already fire-bombed a couple of Anglican and Orthodox churches in the Holy Land, I guess they don't really care, deep down inside.
And we shouldn't either! They're out to get us all.
I wondered about the masks, too. They never seem to show up without cloth wrapped around their heads.
Huge funny...... well said...
No, they're facing the cathedral (which has that same unusual brick pattern).
Nasty, but LOL. Except perhaps they should have been nubile goats?
I'm sure that one must be genuine. ;)
Why does their "god".... and/or their god's name... or their god's "prophet" need to be defended at all...
Can't their "god"... make himself known -- and fight for his own reputation with signs and wonders...
Maybe their "god" is asleep.... the muzzies should pray and cry out louder... to see if he will awaken and defend them....
Shades of Mt Carmel....
Amazing.... simply amazing...
The secret to an understanding of Islam is the word "politics". As long as the Sharia courts work better than the civil courts, and the mullahs require nothing more than that you wash your hands and arms with invisible water, most Moslems will go along with it.
Best bet on destabilizing Islam is convincing these guys to adopt the Uniform Commercial Code developed in the United States. That's an act that can almost guarantee that everybody gets rich.
Time for the rest of the world to begin protesting evil at their mosques.
sorry. there they are. westminster cathedral buttresses.
Are masks/face veils/face coverings legal in Britain? Just curious :)
Just cowards hiding.

|In response to Re: Stuck Drainpipe
If the adapter does not have another hex shaped nut in front of it, then you have the solder type adapter. to remove it, first use a hammer and screwdriver to peel the tubing from the inside of the adapter by driving the screwdriver between the adapter and tubing which will cut the solder loose. Then use a hacksaw blade to cut two slits in the adapter about a 1/4" apart and sort of V shaped. Then use a small chisel to remove the metal in the V and then colapse the adapter so as to close up the V and make it smaller. Then the adapter will unscrew with a pair of pliers or possibly even by hand.
: I am replacing a faucet in my 65 year old house. When I disconnected the trap from the outlet pipe, the threaded portion of the outlet pipe (drain pipe) fell off. Now I need to replace the drain pipe that is extending from my ceramic tiled wall. I am unable to remove it to replace it and cannot figure out whether it is simply corroded or if I am not trying to remove it correctly. There is something that looks like it is possibly a brass adapter of some sort that the drain pipe is extending from. The 'adapter' is hex shaped and has threads on the outside. I cannot turn the 'adapter' in either direction, nor can I manage to turn the drain pipe in either direction. The drainpipe is approximately 6" long, 4.5" of which extend from the wall. The distance to the back of the suppy line from the drain pipe is about 9". Is there some special way to remove the drain pipe? Thanks for the advice.

text: The raw and elemental presence of Ivan Mareš's glass sculptures brings us close to nature, in particular the darkness and quiet of the forests and streams of northern Bohemia where he lives. His cast fragments of what might have been implements and once-taut cables hover on the edge of recognition, their vitreous and crystalline luminosity taking us to a material dimension beyond the archaeology of labour. Mareš uses drawing as a way to define this idea and leaves his cast work in a raw, sketched and fragmented state to continue this process of delineation, allowing us to draw upon our own experiences of objects and functionality to mentally complete his structures. With its empty core and ambiguous imagery, Spool wraps light into itself and draws us close, like insects to a window on a summer night or fish to a light on the surface of a lake.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
It's your forest, do you want a say in how it's managed? Just an opportunity was given recently at the public meeting held at the Museum of the San Rafael on May 13. Ann King, public affairs officer for the US Forest Service said the purpose of this meeting was to receive comments from the public concerning the forest plan revision. Forest plan revision began in 2003, with meetings to hear from the citizens concerning their wants and needs for the forests.
The new forest plan is taking shape. Three items were discussed at this public meeting with a directive for multiple use. The last revision of the forest plan took place in 1986. Since that time, laws have changed concerning the forest and trends have changed concerning use of the forests.
Following the 2003 meetings, the forest service read every comment from the public and made a draft revision plan. That draft was the focus of the evening. "This plan is only tentative and we need input from you," said King. "Tonight we will discuss three of the areas. Those are needs for change, wild and scenic rivers, and roadless/wilderness area."
King said it is crucial to receive all comments about needs for change by June 1. The deadline for comments on wild and scenic rivers and roadless/wilderness will be July 15.
In determining the needs for change, a five step process was initiated to identify the needs for change in management direction on the forest. An extensive review of forest monitoring, evaluation reports, existing legislation, regulations, policy, existing conditions, the 1986 plan and public comments from the 2003 meetings.
The five major topics to be tentatively identified are recreation, ecosystem management, watershed health, transportation system and fire/fuels management. If there is an area, in your opinion, that also needs change, comments are required to be submitted to Forest Plan Revision Team, c/o Heber Williams, Manti-LaSal National Forest, 599 West Price River Drive, Price, UT 84501 by June 1.
Elaine Alexander was next to answer questions concerning the drafted plan for wild and scenic rivers. She began by stating that the process of designation of wild and scenic rivers is now in the second phase which is suitability. When the eligibility process began, all the rivers in Utah forests were on that list. Through the elimination of those rivers that are not eligible, only 14 river segments are on the suitability list in Utah. There are three river segments in Emery and Carbon counties.
The suitability phase of this process basically answers two questions. First, what is the best use of the river corridor? Should the outstanding values be fully protected, or are one or more other uses important enough to warrant not maintaining the river's free flowing or fully protecting values?
The second question is, assuming the values are to be protected, what is the best method to protect the river corridor? Wild and scenic river designation is one approach. In answering this question, the benefits and impacts of WSR designation must be evaluated and alternative river protection methods considered.
For the Manti Division-Ferron/Price Ranger District, the lower left fork of Huntington Creek, Huntington Creek, and Fish Creek in Carbon County, are being considered for wild and scenic designation.
David Gray presented the roadless/wilderness portions of the forest management revision plan. He pointed out that the proposed changes are only in the draft stage and public comment is critical. The five things to take into consideration when determining a roadless/wilderness area are: environment; challenge; outdoor recreation opportunities; special features; and manageability.
Determine the degree to which the area provides visitors with the opportunity to gain a wide range of experiential benefits such as a feeling of solitude and serenity, a spirit of adventure and awareness, and a sense of self-reliance. Determine the degree to which the area offers visitors the opportunity to experience adventure, excitement, challenge, initiative, or self-reliance. Determine the area's capability of providing primitive and unconfined types of recreation such as camping, hunting, fishing, mountain climbing, ski touring, canoeing, boating, river rafting, backpacking, hiking, riding, photography and other outdoor activities. Describe the roadless/wilderness area's capability to provide outdoor education and scientific study, both formal and informal, that is compatible with wilderness. In determining capability, consider the ability to manage the area as wilderness as required by the Wilderness Act.
As one considers the previous elements of the areas proposed for wilderness designation, also consider the boundaries of the area. In most desirable situations, boundaries: avoid conflict; are accurately described and marked; conform with terrain; shield and protect the area; and provide adequate opportunity for access and traveler transfer facilities.
Three of the areas being considered for roadless/wilderness designation are Black Canyon, Hole Trail, and Wagon Road Ridge.
Any comments from the public concerning the three river segments in the suitability phase of wild and scenic river designation, or the roadless/wilderness areas, should be submitted by July 15. All the draft reports can be read and forms for submitting comments can be found at the following websites: www.fs.fed.us/r4/mantilasal/projects/, www.fs.fed.us/, www.fs.fed.is/im/directives/, ipl.unm.edu.cwl/fedbook/nfma.html, www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/16/1131.html, or www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/16/1271.html. Email comments can be made to: email@example.com. Letters can be addressed to: Manti-LaSal National Forest, attn. Heber Williams, 599 West Price River Drive, Price, UT 84501.

|In response to Re: teflon tape on black iron gas pipe
Teflon tape is made from pure teflon, it is impervious to all components of natural gas and almost everything else. I have seen tape that was colored Pink, and green. Ihave never seen yellow.
Teflon tape on steel tapered pipe threads is an excellent sealant IF......... you tighten the joint sufficiently and slowly enough to allow the teflon to flow. We use steel tapered pipe threads routinely to 15000 psi with no leak problems.
: : : I had a gas line and meter installed and put together a gas distribution system. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to pressurize. It slowly leaks down in spite of all the soapy water on all the joints that show no discernible leaks. I have been told that it is because I used the wrong type of teflon tape - the white stuff which is gas permeable rather than the yellow "gas" stuff. I was also told that my installation would be rejected by the inspector anyway because of the use of the "wrong type of tape" and that I should tear the whole system apart and either use the yellow gas tape or, use a gas approved dope. Is this correct or is this Eagle Hardware fantasy?
