Summer is closing in and that means more time outside taking in the sun, hitting the beach and laying poolside. Who can argue with vacations, long weekends and the fun that amps up as the temperature rises. But with all of those outdoor activities, making sure that your skin is protected should be the first thing on your to-do list. While you likely have sunscreen in your beach bag, you do need to realize that not all sunscreens are created equally.
The first thing you probably notice when looking at sunscreen is the SPF and you tend to think that the higher the number, the better off you are and if put it on to start your day, you are fine. There is a lot more to it and to feel not only protected from the sun but also to make sure what you are putting on your skin is safe the one product that you can trust in every aspect is Badger Sunscreen. This year as a confirmation that Badger Sunscreen is in a class by itself, they were put on B Lab's "Best for the World" list. The Best for the World list honors companies with the highest overall social and environmental impact among existing certified B Corps (or Benefit Corporations).
The American Cancer Society suggests that you put on sunscreen early and often. You should apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and at least every two hours thereafter and always make sure to reapply it after being in the water, if you are sweating a lot or if you do anything to wipe off the sunscreen that you have applied. Now that you know how often to apply you need to know what to apply. The standard reference tends to be the SPF number on a bottle of sunscreen, but that does not tell the entire story. That does not take into account UVA rays. UVA and UVB rays both contribute to skin cancer and wrinkling. While all sunscreens protect from UVB rays, the UVA rays are another story as only some sunscreens protect against that form of ultraviolet radiation. Now comes the bigger problem, sunscreens can call label themselves "broad spectrum" but this does not tell you how well they protect against the UVA rays and you are not likely to find this on the label. The best source to find out about the sunscreen you are using is the Environmental Working Group, which is the leading environmental health research and advocacy organization in the United States. You can go the EWG website and find ratings on sunscreens as well as a great deal of other information that will allow you to be a better informed consumer.
According to the Environmental Working Group's 2012 Sunscreen Guide, just one sunburn during childhood can potentially double the chance of deadly melanoma later in life. The EWG points out those products with mineral active ingredients, such as zinc oxide, provide better broad spectrum protection against UVA as well as UVB rays. All Badger Sunscreen products have obtained top safety and efficacy ratings from the EWG and protect only with non-nano zinc oxide – the safest single active ingredient available. Badger Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Lotions are carefully formulated to be hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and biodegradable. Badger never tests on animals and all products are Leaping Bunny Certified as Cruelty-Free. Nearly every Badger product has a rating of 1 from the EWG and the lower the number the better.
Knowing what you are putting on your skin and what is going into your pores is extremely important, yet often overlooked. Badger's Sunscreen product line is 100 percent certified natural and made with 86 percent certified organic ingredients. Natural active ingredients such as non-nano mineral zinc oxide ensure effective, broad spectrum protection and unlike many popular sunscreens, Badger sunscreens are biodegradable and won't harm marine environments.
Top 10 Things to Know About Sunscreen Protection from Badger Sunscreen
1. Sunscreens are over-the-counter drugs regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.1
2. Most people apply only half to a quarter of the recommended amount of sunscreen. Applying half the amount of sunscreen needed provides only the square root of the SPF. So a half application of
SPF 30 only provides an SPF 5.5.2
3. The proper dose of sunscreen is 1.2 ounces, or about a shot glass of sunscreen, to cover an average size adult body.
4. The FDA recommends broad spectrum sunscreens, which protect against both UVB and UVA rays.
In the United States sunscreens are required to protect you from UVB rays only. Look for the words
"Broad Spectrum" to ensure UVA protection.3
5. UVB rays may cause sunburns and skin cancers. UVA rays may cause tanning, premature aging, wrinkles and skin cancers.
6. The SPF number tells you only how well a sunscreen will protect against UVB.4
7. Sunscreens with lots of natural plant oils and vitamin E are rich in antioxidants, which help fight free radicals caused by sun damage.
8. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing into your skin (and bloodstream). Mineral sunscreens work by sitting on top of your skin. This is why dermatologists and the Environmental Working Group recommend mineral sunscreens as the safest option.
9. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the only two approved mineral active sunscreen ingredients in the United States. Zinc oxide is the only single active sunscreen ingredient that provides full broad spectrum protection (from UVA and UVB rays). 5
10. Certain sunscreen chemicals have been shown to cause coral bleaching. Mineral sunscreens in a natural base have the least impact on the environment.
Summertime and the sun are a great combination and know one wants to scare you off from enjoying all that the outdoors has to offer, just make sure to think a little before stepping outside. A hat and any type of clothing, umbrella or anything else that will block the sun entirely is of course the best thing for you but if that is not possible use some of the tips provided to make your fun in the sun a little safer. If you are going to take in some sun and want to avoid as much of the damage that it can cause, the one product you should reach for is Badger. Badger is hands down the one sunscreen that you can feel safe about using to protect you and your family.

Virginia Republican lawmakers say they plan to introduce legislation next week to bring toll relief to Northern Virginia commuters,
including cutting new tolling hours on Interstate 66. "We're very concerned about the really astronomical levels of tolls that are
being imposed on people in Northern Virginia," said Virginia Sen. Dick Black, who represents the 13th District, covering parts of
Loudoun and Prince William counties.

THERE ARE 2,369 rape kits sitting on Virginia shelves untested. That's 2,369 crime victims who, after experiencing the
trauma of sexual assault, submitted to an intrusive and painstaking examination designed to collect DNA evidence and
identify a perpetrator. It's an unknown number of rapists who might have been caught but have walked free. It is a failure
on the part of Virginia police departments and a symptom of a national epidemic.

Many of the more than 2,000 rape kits left to languish in police departments around Virginia should have been
submitted for testing but weren't, according to an audit released this month.

Many Loudouners may not be aware, but for Virginia politicos, it's no secret: The state Senate's 13th District, located predominately in Loudoun,
is the hottest race of the state's 2015 cycle. State Sen. Dick Black (R), a former Marine and Pentagon lawyer, is seeking re-election in the 13th
against Democratic newcomer Jill McCabe, a doctor and the medical director of Inova Loudoun Hospital's Pediatric Emergency Department.
The Black-vs-McCabe match-up has weighty ramifications for public policy in the state and Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe's one and only term.
Republicans currently have a one-seat advantage in the upper chamber, with 21 members to Democrats' 19. Thus, if Democrats hold on to their current
seats and pick up one, forming a 20-20 Senate, they essentially hold the majority thanks to Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam's (D) tie-breaking vote.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine Gov. Paul LePage canceled a meeting with incoming Democratic legislative leaders Tuesday after asking the state Democratic Party to call off a cameraman who has been recording him at his public events.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine Gov. Paul LePage canceled a meeting with incoming Democratic legislative leaders Tuesday after asking the state Democratic Party to call off a cameraman who has been recording him at his public events.
The Republican governor said he won't meet with Democratic legislative leaders until the cameraman is removed. LePage said that the so-called "tracker" has followed him for months, but that he hasn't made an issue of it and that it didn't bother him until Veterans Day, when he said a private conversation with an elderly veteran in poor health was taped.
"The people of Maine are not props, and I will not allow these special interest groups to use them to score political points," LePage said in a statement.
The Democratic Party said the use of trackers is commonplace, and that its tracker will continue recording LePage during his public appearances.
"Gov. LePage promised us the most open and transparent government in Maine history and yet here he is, publicly attacking a man for videotaping his events. What does have to hide?" the party said in a statement. "If LePage has a problem with his public events being taped or recorded, maybe he should rethink his role in government."
Democrats regained control of the both the House and Senate in November's elections two years after Republicans swept into power in both chambers. LePage's comments help set the tone for the upcoming session, which formally begins Wednesday with the swearing-in of the new Legislature by the governor.
Democratic leaders said they were disappointed by LePage's decision to cancel his meeting with them to discuss the state's fiscal problems. The state Revenue Forecasting Committee says state revenues are lagging behind estimates by $35.5 million this fiscal year, which ends June 30, and by $128 million during the two-year budget cycle, which starts next July 1.
The Senate Democratic Office said Democratic legislative leaders issued an invitation the day after Election Day and several times thereafter asking LePage to meet with them. But LePage's office didn't respond until Monday to say the governor would meet with them on Tuesday, said Ericka Dodge, spokesman for Senate Democrats.
But while speaking at a Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce event in Rockport on Tuesday morning, LePage told the crowd he was canceling the meeting because of the tracker.
House Majority Leader Seth Berry of Bowdoinham said Mainers are expecting lawmakers to get to work on important issues.
"We can't control the actions of outside groups," he said. "We are ready and willing to meet with the governor."
Political parties have used trackers for years nationwide to follow rival candidates and catch them in missteps that parties can use to their advantage.
Tracking first showed up in Maine in 2007, when Democrats used a tracker to record Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins during her re-election campaign against Democratic challenger Tom Allen. Collins' chief of staff objected, saying tracking demeans the political process and contributes to voter cynicism.
During this fall's U.S. Senate campaign, Republicans employed a tracker to follow independent candidate Angus King, who won the election. King pointed out the tracker during a candidate debate in September, telling the crowd that the tracker was following him everywhere, taking videos and photos.
"I assume he wants to get a picture of me slugging a baby," King said, adding, "I got to tell you, I think it's pretty lousy."
Maine Democratic Party spokeswoman Lizzy Reinholt said that the party has been using a tracker on LePage because the governor has a habit of changing facts and saying inappropriate things, and that his statements need to be documented.
She said LePage hasn't complained before. The governor, she said, appears to be using the tracker for political gamesmanship.
"To me, this is more about the fact he's looking for excuses to not meet with the Democrats," she said. "To make up an excuse like this is pure politics and a sign he's not willing to cooperate."

Building Nine Knights
Building Nine Knights
Nine Knights, the iconic European freeskiing event, takes place this week in the Italian Alps. Here's a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes work that goes into building one of skiing's most spectacular features. In this photo, the excavator breaks on through to complete the arch.
Tools of the Trade
This is how to cut perfectly vertical walls out of snow: 1) Span a line to cut along. 2) Double check your measurements. 3) Get to work with a specially-designed "vert shovel" or a chainsaw. 4) If you're at Nine Knights, repeat for 10 days.
Nearing Completion
An international team of top terrain park shapers representing six different countries came together under the leadership of master parkbuilder Dirk Scheumann to complete the project. Slowly but surely, the castle nears completion.
Night Castle
Most snow features are built "up," but at Nine Knights the shape crew works down, chiseling away at a 100,000 cubic-meter mountain of snow that the ski area prepares months in advance with countless hours of snowmaking. In order to produce the amount of snow needed for this year's gargantuan feature, the snow of last year's castle was pushed together and covered with tarps throughout the summer, and now forms the base of the new feature.
Livigno, Italy
Nine Knights is hosted by Mottolino Fun Mountain above the Italian town of Livigno in a remote valley close to the Swiss border. Like many Alpine villages, Livigno has escaped from economic hardships due to a booming tourism industry. This valley has the added benefit of being a special tax-free zone, making it a shopping destination as well.
Finished Kickers
The finished take-offs stand 33 feet high. Invited athletes for this week's contest, which ends on Saturday, include A-list pipe skiers like Kevin Rolland, David Wise, Joffrey Pollet-Villard and Matt Margetts, as well as freeski legend Tanner Hall, this year's X Games Aspen Big Air champion Henrik Harlaut, and a slew of other top skiers from near and far.
Nico Zacek
Each year the Nine Knights feature begins to take shape months before the event in the mind of the event organizer, German freeskiing legend Nico Zacek. "The feature is in my eyes the craziest structure ever built in snowsports history," says Zacek. "It's very versatile: a great jump in the middle with two takeoffs, an A-frame halfpipe in the middle that you have to see to understand, and a lot of other transitions and jib options."
Testing Features
The invited athletes got their first look at the finished castle and started delving into the myriad possibilities. "I've never seen anything like it," said Canadian halfpipe specialist Matt Margetts. "It's an absolute sculpture, a piece of art."
All kinds of tools are required to complete a project like this, from a variety of handheld shape tools to snowblowers, excavators, snowcats and pipe cutters. At night, the castle becomes even more surreal.
Nicky Keefer
On the first day of Nine Knights, riders like Nicky Keefer wasted no time getting down to business on the various features of Il Castello. "It's going to be a really fun week of finding out what's possible on this thing," said Jakob Wester.

EWING - On Friday, friends left messages of prayer and condolences on the Facebook page of their slain friend, many shocked that such a vicious act of violence could have ended her life.
Sharon Wallace, the 53-year-old victim in a brutal Halloween homicide in the 100 block of Buttonwood Drive worked for the Department of Environmental Protection and was a carrier for a newspaper vendor.
Friends recounted the Wallace as always having a smile on her face and always ready to laugh. On the elder Wallace's Facebook page a friend described the loss in a single word, 'Devastated.'
On Halloween, her daughter killed her with a pickaxe and later fled over two-hours away before she was finally arrested in Lancaster, Pa.
Police have not released an official motive and have not speculated as to what may have prompted the events on Halloween.
Regina Wallace, the daughter of Sharon Wallace was to be extradited back to New Jersey, but police said that information would not be available until Monday.
On the younger Wallace's Facebook, friends left messages of prayer, but left little clue as to what may have pushed her to kill her mother.
Regina Wallace ended up in a Lancaster area hospital, but police declined to say what landed her in the hospital following the incident.
She is charged with murder and possession of a weapon, which was recovered at the scene. Further information on the homicide was not immediately available.
Sgt. John Stemler and Detective Bryan Cottrell of Mercer County Prosecutors Office are investigating the murder.
Anyone having information regarding this homicide is urged to call Sgt. Stemler at (609) 882-1313 ext. 5575.

From the desk of John Hanson:
"Why is the USO doing this?" We hear it all the time when we talk about Operation Enduring Care – the USO's initiative to create programs for wounded warriors and their families.
[caption id="attachment_2014" align="alignright" width="280" caption="Mike Augustyn, a Polish soldier injured in Iraq, reacts to a comical charicature created by Tom Richmond, a member of the National Cartoonist Society at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, Oct. 16, 2009, during a USO deployment. (USO photo by Jackie Zettles)"][/caption]
We get it. People know about the USO, but the one thing they know about most is our outstanding entertainment program. Why not? For generations of Americans, Bob Hope was the face of the USO. And, today celebrities from the stars of Sons of Anarchy to Zac Brown and Toby Keith continue that rich tradition of entertaining troops wherever they serve.
But, truth be told, most service members never see a USO show. The math doesn't make that possible. Most troops and family members know the USO for its network of USO centers – almost 150 today – scattered at military bases and airports across America and around the world. There are 3 USO centers in Kuwait, 3 in Iraq and we're about to open our 2nd one in Afghanistan (in Kandahar). In fact, entertainment is not quite 12 percent of what the USO provides.
The USO delivers its brand of care and support to remote forward operating bases and combat outposts through the USO2Go program. We ship almost everything from athletic equipment and snacks to laptop computers and video games – hundreds of boxes on dozens of pallets are prepared to order and sent to those troops who know isolation better than any of us can imagine.
The USO makes it possible for parents to record a children's book onto a DVD. We then send the DVD and the book to the child, so he or she can read along with Mom or Dad. So far, 100,000 of those recordings have been made. In 2010 alone, we hope to provide 100,000 of these valuable connections to home.
The USO is the link between the American public and its military. Each month more than 200,000 free and very clear phone calls are made over our satellite-based private telephone network. Now, that's a link to home! That network makes it possible for troops to "be in" delivery rooms when children are born; they can watch early steps by children they haven't seen in months. Our donors make all of those things possible.
Who Needs us Most?
Now that I've stepped on my lead, it's time to explain Operation Enduring Care. The program started a few years ago, when we offered duffels of clothing, toiletries and short term needs to wounded warriors arriving at Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany. We still do that.
But, today Operation Enduring Care includes our most ambitious effort in more than a generation – maybe in the USO's history.
We will build 2 Wounded Warrior Family Centers in the Washington, D.C. area. One will be at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, near an Army hospital that will be built there. The other will be at the new Walter Reed medical center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Each will be designed to what we call the "audible gasp" standard.
Each will include areas for families and recovering troops to gather outside the hospital. There will be children's play areas, kitchens and dining areas for home-cooked meals. We envision these as warm and welcoming places that symbolize the public's support for and recognition of the service and sacrifice of troops and their families.
[caption id="attachment_2015" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Members of the National Cartoonist Society take a photo with U.S. Army SPC Ben Brashier of Okolona, Miss., at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany Oct. 16, 2009, after sketching him a number of cartoons and characters during their USO deployment. In addition to visiting many wounded soldiers in Germany, the cartoonists are also scheduled to visit more than a dozen military bases in the combat zone. (USO photo by Jackie Zettles)"][/caption]
Why the USO?
The USO is the most trusted brand when it comes to troop support activities. When the American public thinks about supporting the troops, the USO comes to mind quickly.
These new centers will not be about the USO. Their sole focus will be on the needs of troops and families as they prepare for a new and productive future. Other organizations offer programs the USO would not attempt, and their participation will be encouraged. The USO does not provide job training or career coaching, but these centers can provide space for that to be delivered – to troops and families.
It strikes me that most Americans have little appreciation for the amount of time many of our wounded warriors spend in the hospital. After all, we know very few people who are ever hospitalized for more than a few days. But, amputees might spend 18 months recovering from their injuries. Many wounded warriors face multiple surgeries over many months. Their families leave their homes to be with them. The sacrifice is shared and the reintegration to life after the hospital is critical to every one of them.
Their successful re-entry into our communities will be the responsibility of each of us. They have received the very best medical care, and teams of doctors, nurses and therapists focused on getting these folks well enough to return home. Home is where we come in. Not to pity or coddle them, but to give them the opportunities they earned by their service. The communities they return to should be communities of support.
There will be more on Operation Enduring Care as we break ground and start construction in the coming months.
As the COVID-19 outbreak is evolving, the USO has pivoted resources across the entire global enterprise in an approach that helps care for military members and their families.

IGF-1 growth factor, Мөн Инсулин шиг өсөлтийн хүчин зүйл гэж нэрлэдэг 1, is an important protein in the field of bodybuilding.
Although it is naturally produced in the human body, synthetic versions are used to exceed normal IGF-1 levels and support performance enhancement.
Now you're wondering: what is IGF-1's function, and why is it so important for boosting your gains?
It is important for many reasons, all of which we'll cover below. Онлайн энд HGH-X2 Одоо худалдаж авах.
Хүндийн өргөлт
өөх алдагдал
Нөхцөл, tioning

What exactly is this unique protein and what does IGF-1 do?
Insulin-Like Growth Factor is classified as a protein hormone that is comprised of 70 амин хүчлүүд нь. Its main role in the human body is to stimulate bone and tissue growth.
Studies show that our IGF-1 levels decline as we age.
бодибилдингийн шvтээн дугуйлан нь, IGF-1 is often used due to its ability to increase the cells in your skeletal muscles. This boost leads to the activation of a pathway in the body called the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway.
The results are great: there's an increase in skeletal muscle cell numbers, which leads to more growth of lean tissue, as well as increased bone growth.
Another great IGF-1 function is its positive correlation with Human Growth Hormone (HGH), another hormone naturally produced inside our bodies as well as exogenously.
When these two hormones combine, they create new muscle fibers and bolster the retention of your muscles' азотын, an element that makes up around 16 percent of your muscles and is essential for their growth.
But here's the real kicker: IGF-1 is the main reason for HGH's anabolic action.
Эцэст нь, getting your IGF-1 levels high will promote the growth of muscle fibers and cells due to its strong relationship with HGH.
Activating your IGF-1 receptors leads to more benefits than just promoting the growth of muscle.
IGF-1 is also highly sought after for better recovery and healing due to its ability to boost collagen function. Higher functioning collagen means stronger bones, which will naturally lay the foundation for stronger muscles.
One brand of pharmaceutical quality IGF-1 is Increlex.
It can still be purchased online through black market steroid websites, but is more difficult to locate. Also its prices and quality will vary.
If you're going to use IGF-1 for bodybuilding, it's best used for physical recovery and building muscle mass during the off season.
This is largely due to its healing benefits discussed above, as well as its ability to increase the creation of body fat when used together with a proper diet.
Гэсэн хэдий ч, in order to maintain proper body fat levels, it is recommended to use HGH supplements to increase your metabolism and ensure that your fat levels don't rise too high.
Хэзээ Хэрэв уруу ирдэг, what's the best way to use IGF-1 to build mass?
Хариулт нь маш энгийн байдаг: in conjunction with anabolic steroids.
Ингэснээр, IGF-1 will increase the amount of lean tissue that is created during your cycles.
Compared to other exogenous hormones used for bodybuilding, IGF-1 growth factor is fairly mild.
Гэсэн хэдий ч, Тэнд байна зарим IGF-1 side effects that you should be aware of before you consider adding it into your stack.
Эдгээр нь орно:
It's also important to remember that IGF-1 and cancer are not a safe combination. Since IGF-1 increases the strength of the cells in your body, including those that are harmful and cancerous, it can only exacerbate the disease.
If you want to avoid the side effects of exogenous IGF-1 administration, consider supplements, such as CrazyBulk's HGH-X2.
Using its natural formulation of lepidium meyenii, mucuna pruriens, crataegus oxyacantha, and 2-amino-5-diaminomethylidene amino pentanoic acid, HGH-X2 boosts HGH levels, which in turn leads to corresponding increases in IGF-1 levels.
Дээр дурьдсанчлан, this combination is ideal for bodybuilders and can help you get those quality muscle gains and ideal recovery times that so many other products fail to provide.
If you're looking to boost your IGF-1 levels, you need to know the normal range of Insulin-Like Growth Factor.
You're probably wondering: how is this accomplished?
нь IGF-1 test is the most effective way to gauge your levels.
If an individual is suffering from IGF-1 deficiency, these tests may also prove useful.
These tests are conducted by doctors and are typically referred to as somatomedin C tests. Using these tests, you can determine if your IGF-1 levels are within a healthy range and adequate for your bodybuilding goals.
In addition to exogenous IGF-1 supplements, you can also obtain this protein from a healthy diet.
Diets that promote high levels of IGF-1 include:
For those with low IGF-1 түвшин, maintaining a diet with these components is essential, even if you're supplementing with exogenous sources.
Given that it is typically used to put on mass, IGF-1 for weight loss is not a common usage of the drug.
Гэсэн хэдий ч, there are reports of using natural IGF-1 from bovine colostrum for weight loss, although research is still too limited to make any solid conclusions.
ашиглах IGF-1 growth factor, especially in combination with HGH, is a great way to pack on quality muscle.
Гэсэн хэдий ч, to really take control of your IGF-1 levels and get legal, healthy gains in the gym, natural products like CrazyBulk's HGH-X2 are the way to go.
Not only will you get the gains of IGF-1, you'll reap the benefits of boosted HGH levels, allowing you to activate your IGF-1 receptors as much as possible.Buy igf-1Buy igf-1 LR3Бугын бугын SprayDeer Antler Velvet igf-1HGH vs. IGFigf-1 Bodybuildingigf-1 Cycleigf-1 Dosageigf-1 for Saleigf-1 Growth Factorigf-1 Long R3igf-1 LR3igf-1 LR3 1mgigf-1 LR3 Cycleigf-1 LR3 Resultsigf-1 Resultsigf-1 Reviewsigf-1 Side Effectsigf-1 Somatomedin Cigf-1 Sprayigf-1 Supplementigf-1 Weight LossIGF 2Increase IGF NaturallyИнсулин шиг өсөлтийн хүчин зүйл-1Pure IGF Review

Write Away....
Vinny was given a project over Spring Break to write a book! I did not realize until yesterday this was not a mandatory assignment but an extra assignment. It took the full week to get him to do this book. I actually thought I may choke him during the process. It is not a secret that Vinny hates the subjects writing and reading in school, he favors math and science. His book had to include a cover, title page, pictures, about the author page and a picture of the author. His book is completed and he brings it to school right after Spring Break and it goes out of my head. Monday we get to school late (due to another writing project not completed on time, see a pattern here?) and we where told Vinny was recognized for a writing award for his book. It was voted the best in first grade! SHOCK SHOCK Vinny couldn't believe his ears and really I couldn't either, all this on a project that was not mandatory on a subject he dislikes. WOW what will second grade bring?
Spider Scare
When we first moved in we had tons of spiders. I am not talking small little dust spiders, we had tarantulas! Furry wolf spiders and other ones that where used to film the movie Arachnophobia. Last night I had a terrible headache and left Ed to deal with the kids who where in bed but not asleep. About 1am I get up (since I had been sleeping since 7pm) and I am wide awake, I go check on the kids and freeze at the boys doorway. The is a huge spider! I slowly back out of the room and run to get Ed who is sound asleep. With 'sorry I have to wake you" we go in the boys room and the spider is still there. Ed hits it with a shoe and goes to pick it up and says I think that's a toy. What??? So we flip on the hall light and sure enough it is a toy spider! Ed was not amused...

Knock, Knock
Last weekend around 20 till 12 I thought I heard a knock on the front door. I checked the front door nothing, then the kids to see if they had woken up in the middle of the night but nooo everyone is sound asleep. I flip every light on and try to peek outside. Since now my house is lit up and I am a wreak I say awake almost the whole night, that was a great book I read tho. I wake the next morning to find the gate wide open! I close it and go to reopen it when I realize this is the sound I thought was knocking, the gate sticks when you try to open it. Someone did open the gate in the middle of the night. I tried to calm those fears by it was probably the neighbors kid who I have caught peering into our house when we didn't have a fence, but in the middle of the night?...... Well today said neighbor told me her father who sleeps on that side of the house heard the noise too! He put on all the lights on that side of the house trying to figure out what did he just hear. Great I think I pissed myself. I am always here alone and now I have someone creeping in my backyard! I will be up all night tonight luckly I have a new book to read....

St Augustine Anniversary
Spring Clean Fling
The flowers are blooming, the birds are serenading, and our house still feels like it's stuck with winter blues. Spring cleaning is a tradition that allows us to freshen up our homes and get a head start on the hectic seasons of spring and summer. What do you need help spring cleaning? Here are some ideas I got at Grace Family Church moms group.
- Plan your attack. Don't let yourself get sidetracked.
- Take it easy on yourself. Choose certain tasks you will complete each day.
- "hire" a crew! try asking a few friends to help and than return the favor. Use it as a time to socialize. Offer refreshments and snacks.
- Avoid distractions. Shut the TV. Give the children something to do. Maybe a project or their own cleaning list.
- De-clutter your life. If you don't use it ~ lose it! Spend a weekend sorting. Start in one room at a time. Set up a system that works. Stop the clutter at the door! Take out the household trash each evening. Go through every room throw out the unnecessary papers.
- Donate items
- Invite the outside in. Open windows, doors etc. Also, try fresh flowers.
- Have fun, blast your favorite music while working!
Also here is 4 strategies to transform the disorganized woman, could you use some fresh ideas?
- EVALUATE: write down 10 issues you are having trouble with.
- PLAN: attack the problem at hand
- TRACK: keep a calendar to track appointments and deadlines
- MAINTAIN: set out clothes, shoes, bookbags the night before

Beautiful Bree Boutique
Thank you to Bree who made Kelli her beautiful "K" shirt. Bree and I met last year when she joined my moms group that I organized. We only met one time and neither of us got any joy out of the group. Bree left first but knew Jen and Dawn, I gave up the group and started hanging around Jen and Dawn more. Bree and I met again earlier this year and she gave Kelli one of her famous designer shirts that Kelli proudly wore to school and wants to wear to AWANA tonight.

Ribbon Holders
Okay, so I see this Ribbon Holder in Women's Day and I give it a try with the materials I have at home. I worked on it for hours, hot gluing my fingertips together in the process. I am all finished and patting myself on the back while hanging it up in the kids bathroom. The boys say "good job", Kelli says "who is that for?" I reply "you silly". She says "your silly, I have black hair." Kelli has developed that dry sense of humor. Sooo today I repeat the processes including burning my finger this time to give Kelli a Ribbon Holder more like herself. Sadie and Madi will be the proud owners of my first attempt, hopefully it will meet their approval.
Field Day 2008
Vinny had his field day today. In the pictures below are after the 50 yard dash where he was in 6th place.
Vinny listening to the directions in the relay race. Get ready, get set, go! Vinny's class did great.
Water dash, Vinny's class came in third!
The egg race was painful to watch, none of Vinny's classmates could keep that egg on the spoon, they came in last....
The sack race was good for a laugh, Kelli said Vinny is not a bunny. Vinny agreed and was a slow hopper!
Kelli, Sal and Nick loved going to Vinny's school to cheer him on, and Vinny is very proud of his 6th place ribbon.

CSI: Manatee
Vinny's school sent home a flier on who stole their mascot Mighty Manatee. We played CSI to help solve the crime.
After solving the 5 clues (fingerprint patterns, measuring footprints, solving a letter puzzle, learning about ph levels and reactions to baking soda and vinager) we thought it was Ms Hoffman the princple. We were right! And Mighty Manatee was found.
What Little Boys Are Made Of......
What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and frog and lizard tails,
That's what little boys are made of.
Well that's what my little boys are made of!
Vinny and Sal where trying to catch frogs and lizards. Vinny got the frog and Sal found a pet salamander!
Notice Nick and Kelli where only onlookers! But the frog did jump onto Kelli's back but since she is made of sugar and spice, and everything nice, she simply said "Oh, there is a frog on my back?!" Vinny quickly removed him.
Park Playdate
We had a great playdate with our friend Crystal http://crystalplus3.blogspot.com/at the park! Nick and Kelli rode the dinosaur lizard!
Nick and Eli tried out the seasaw then Nick rode the big wheel.
Kelli, AJ and Sal climbed the spider web! (Which also was a monkey mountain, hill and tower.)
After lunch (all the kids had lunchables, who knew) the kids all shared their desserts (Blue Airhead, Skittles, Oreos). Kelli ate most of the airhead and was rewarded with a bright blue tongue. She then became lizard queen and climbed to the top of the tower!

I have found MuchLoved to be a wonderful, inspirational website and have personally gained comfort from being able to put together a tribute for my beautiful son Adam in this way
With you i have found a place to comfort me when i feel so all alone.
This site gives me daily comfort; I think you all did a wonderful thing.
I never dreamed that there was a place like this. You have made this site so user friendly and it has helped me to focus on something positive over the last days so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
MuchLoved was founded by Jonathan Davies in 1998 after he suffered the deaths of his brother and mother.
Jon says "I realised that a tribute website could commemorate a loved one in a special way as well as help with grief and this is why I founded the MuchLoved charity tribute service"
"We are here to help you as you try to cope with the pain of loss. This is both a great privilege and responsibility and we hope you consider joining our supportive and special remembrance community."

There are certain actors who have a decided knack for choosing excellent material, which makes any future project they accept promising by sheer osmosis. Judy Greer is one such actress. You don't appear on "Arrested Development," "Archer," and "Modern Family" without having pretty sharp comedic instincts. The fact that Greer has signed on to play one of the leads on CBS' midseason sitcom "Mad Love" now makes that show promising, despite its relatively stale premise. From the always hustlin' Nellie Andreeva over at Deadline:
Judy Greer has signed on to star in the CBS comedy Mad Love. With her and recent addition Sarah Chalke on board, the pilot's 13-episode midseason order has now been finalized.
Mad Love is an ensemble comedy about four friends in New York - Henry (Jason Biggs), Kate (Chalke), Larry (Tyler Labine) and Connie (Greer) - who are looking for love.
It's odd that CBS would order up a "Friends" knockoff when it already has a successful one in "How I Met Your Mother." In fact, that show appears to be the exception to the rule when trying to revive the "Friends" formula. Think of all the shows that have tried to be "Friends" and failed miserably. "Coupling." "It's Like… You Know." "Jesse." This is not exactly fertile ground here.
Yet Greer's casting gives the project a bit of comedic credibility it wouldn't have otherwise. Paired with Chalke, the two actresses could help the show succeed by sheer force of will. A lot of sitcoms don't figure out their real identity until A) They're cancelled, or B) They've hung on long enough for the writers to figure it out. In the case of "Mad Love," Greer and Chalke could help keep the show afloat until the creators finally sort out just why this show should exist. Because as of now, those two actors are the only reason.

CARSON, Calif. -- In the wake of last week's disappointing 4-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders knows that the club's defense must change for LA to pick up an important victory in Sunday's Superclásico against Chivas USA.
There has been considerable talk this week -- and numerous articles written by yours truly and others -- on a potential return of the back four of Sean Franklin, A.J. DeLaGarza, Omar Gonzalez and Todd Dunivant, a quartet that along with Saunders, helped anchor the Galaxy to the 2011 MLS Cup Championship. While Saunders would welcome their group's return, he believes that it is far more important for the club's defensive mentality to change rather than simply the personnel.
"It's always welcome to see something like that because we know it works, but it's more than just a back four, it's a collective unit that has to defend. You put a lot on the back, but in the end, it's everybody defending."

Some people love to have their closets filled with expensive shoes, while others pack their homes with ornate decorations
One of my main goals is to cram my passport with as many stamps from beautiful destinations around the world as possible. So with my brand-new blue passport in hand, I was packed, ready and at the airport eagerly anticipating the first new stamp.
This time, I was travelling out of the United States to a city filled with wonder, one with world-class museums, a phenomenal ballet and an art scene that is unending. It is a city on a lake with a diverse population of immigrants from around the world. It's a country where equal rights extend to gay marriage, and while that might be the norm in many countries, it is a constant battle here in the United States.
As I wandered down a Toronto street filled with eclectic art galleries, trendy boutiques and bakeries with overwhelmingly colourful pastries, the sun gently shining and a breeze blowing through my hair, I started to grin.
Toronto, Canada, is where you might call home, and often the excitement of our own city is easily overlooked, but sometimes having a visitor in town that sees a place with a fresh perspective awakens us to the many great attributes of where we live.
A "stay-cation" is a fun way to experience your own city, and I found Toronto filled with choices, from staying at the ultra-hip Gladstone Hotel, where every one of the 37 rooms are decorated differently, to having a relaxing lake view at a suite in the Westin Harbour Castle. If you are looking to really pamper yourself, you might want to try a night at the Ritz Carlton and enjoy its relaxing spa.
While wandering around Toronto, I found myself at the Harbourfront, where I marvelled as the CN Tower changed colours in the deep-blue night sky. Party boats filled with laughing people cruised by, and ladies lovingly cooed to the passengers in their strollers, who happened to be dogs. I walked by a few women in barely there shorts and others who were completely covered up black chadors, only their eyes peering out into the world.
Queen Street West brought out different types of people, from the Greek bride I chatted with in a fabric store, who was looking for material for her veil, to the ladies from St. John, N.B., shopping for a wedding dress. I peeked into Tealish on Queen West and bought aromatic tea to take home. Of course, I couldn't help but work hard to improve the Canadian economy and left with some fabulous finds.
I ventured into a spice store in Kensington Market and sniffed the aromatic packages and bought a few of the Indian spices.
One of my favourite bookstores in Toronto is BMV. The books are tremendous, and the prices are reasonable.
Toronto is made for walking, and there is no better place than the Bata Shoe Museum, which is all about footware. The museum offers people a chance to walk through time and learn the history of how people walk through life, literally. One can also tiptoe among the greats, viewing Roger Federer, Napoleon and Marilyn Monroe's shoes, which are all exhibited. I especially enjoyed the Roger Vivier exhibition, where I learned about the master shoe designer's innovations and how they are still relevant today.
The National Ballet of Canada's performances of Elite Syncopations, Song of a Wayfarer and Chroma brought tears to my eyes. They were visual masterpieces and so moving, I would have easily seen the performances a few times.
From one's toes to their feet, Toronto seems to have it covered. I found my way to KC's Hats, where milliner David Dunkley, store owner and designer has taken lessons from the former royal milliner to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. His creations have even been worn by members of Queen Elizabeth II's royal entourage and at functions attended by the Queen.
I laughed trying on a few hats and fascinators, wishing that hats were a major fashion items in Arizona, where I live, so I could justify buying one or well, maybe 10! In October, Dunkley is offering a three-day course, an introduction to hat-making, where one can learn how to make a couture hat.
Toronto impressed me with so many styles of art, from the spectacular Picasso exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario to an intriguing tour explaining graffiti. I wandered the colourful and bright alleys of Toronto on a graffiti tour with a guide, who explained the painted intricacies and messages on the walls of the city.
I was dazzled by the Israeli Batsheva Dance Company's magnificent performance of Sadeh 21. It was both sophisticated and sensual. The dancers illuminated the stage, and it was refreshing to see pure magic emanating in front of me.
From light to darkness, I was mesmerized. My senses sharpened during renowned Chilean magician Juan Esteban Varela's From the Dark, a magic show in which both magician and the audience are blindfolded. In the darkness, I gained clarity and perspective on how to view my world differently. I realized how important it is to try to appreciate the gifts around us, whether it is the love that surrounds us with family and friends or being in a beautiful city like Toronto.
It's a challenge to slow down, or even stop and take a break, and even harder to play tourist in one's own hometown, because it seems there's always something we must be doing. Toronto has so much to offer, from the sights to the sounds, to simply walking down the street and peering into the shop windows.
The truth is when you look at your home city with the eyes of a tourist you might be surprised. When I get home, I am going to follow my own advice, or well, try to.
Enjoy Toronto!

Marble Cake Recipe
Come 9:30pm yesterday, I really wanted a yummy treat. So, like any crazy person, I decided to bake one right then. I searched my cupboards and decided on marble cake with butter cream and as I had some leftover walnuts from another baking session, I thought I'd try it out. To my Hubby's delight it turned out just as I'd hoped.
Ingredients for Cake
225g Plain Flour
225g Caster Sugar
225g Softened Butter
2 tsp Baking Powder
100g Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
4 Medium Eggs
2 tbsp Milk
Ingredients for Topping
100g Butter
200g Icing Sugar
½ Cup Chopped Walnuts
½ tsp Milk
Using a pre greased and floured 8-9″ spring release cake pan. (Phew, that was a mouthful)
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until pale. Add one egg at a time mixing thoroughly between each addition. Stir in Vanilla.
In a separate bowl sieve flour and baking powder together.
Add spoonfuls of flour into butter mixture along with milk. Mix briefly until flour is incorporated.
Using a large spoon place half the mixture into the pan in 4 individual spots. Add Cocoa to the remaining mixture, stir thoroughly and fill in the gaps in the cake pan with the chocolate mixture.
Using a skewer or something similar, swirl the chocolate into the vanilla and vice-versa. But not so much that you lose the vanilla too much.
Bake for 40 Mins or until firm to touch or skewer comes out clean.
Once cooled on a rack prepare the topping.
Mix together butter and icing sugar and add in milk.
Spread over the top of the cake generously and sprinkle on the walnuts, or a nut of your choice.
Now all there is to do is let everyone enjoy and appreciate your hard work!

Thanks to Moe Issa, owner of recently opened grocery store Brooklyn Fare, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for the grocery shoppers of Downtown Brooklyn.
"Our top notch produce is what separates us from the rest," said Issa. Locating his 7000 square foot store in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn at 200 Schermerhorn Street was a no-brainer for the Brooklyn native, who grew up in the area.
Before opening Brooklyn Fare in April of last year, Issa owned a Pepsi distribution franchise, which constantly had him running in and out of different supermarkets.
"I always felt I could do it better," said Issa, who decided to take a chance and open up a supermarket of his own in an area that, as of late, has received attention from local leaders and community groups for its lack of fresh, affordable produce.
Issa financed a large part Brooklyn Fare himself. He said the down economy has had little effect on his business. On the contrary: with the construction of many nearby condos and apartment buildings complete, the population of the area surrounding Brooklyn Fare has been increasing, thereby broadening Issa's potential customer base.
Brooklyn Fare's main competition, according to Issa, is the nearby Trader Joe's, whose prices he admits sometimes do indeed run lower.
But Issa is more than convinced that even though you might pay a little more at his store, the produce section at Brooklyn Fare is unmatched in the neighborhood.
"We've got some of the best apples and pears in Brooklyn," said Issa, whose store offers both organic and inorganic produce, as well a large selection of prepared foods which he says were an instant hit with neighborhood residents.
Issa said he identifies with Downtown Brooklyn's growing mix of younger, more affluent residents looking for fresh groceries at bargain prices. Issa said he's also always shopping amongst distributors, looking for the best deals on the best goods to provide for his patrons.
"We're a one stop shop" right now said Issa, a concept that has fared well so far with Brooklyn residents. "We're still growing, one customer at a time."

Pic(k) of the week 9: Burj al Arab MOONRISE - with Fujifilm XF100-400 lens
Yesterday, was my 45th birthday... Yes, this time of the year again! Sometimes one has to look after himself and by a nice birthday present...
So I decided to give Fujifilm some more of my money and picked up a brand-new XF100-400 f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Fujinon lens. That is a long name! Well, it is a long lens as well; actually the longest focal length lens available right now and probably for quite a while.
Without boring you with more technical details (click here for my review), this is the lens I've been waiting for, for quite a while. It will be used in my Aviation Photography as well as, yes surprise, surprise... landscape work! I love to zoom in close on distance objects and use the compression effect of a long focal length to my advantage.
The first shot I took with the new lens was of one of the most famous landmarks in Dubai; the "7-star Burj al Arab hotel". I knew beforehand where the full moon would rise and used PhotoPills on my iPhone to determine the perfect place to stand on the Palm Jumeirah.
Unfortunately, there was a strong haze layer on the eastern horizon, leading to the moon only being visible about 15-20' minutes after moonrise. For me the moonrise over the Burl al Arab is a continuous work in progress; slow progress that is, since there is only one day one can shoot this scene. The night when the moon turns 100% and when it rises about the same time as the sunset time. Other days the contrast with the bright moon and dark foreground, makes it impossible to photograph in one single frame. One then also has to be lucky with the weather as well as not having other work/family commitments!
Yes, dedication in photography is shooting on the night of your birthday!
Yes, dedication in photography is shooting on the night of your birthday!
I do have a few other ideas of positioning the moon, but will have to wait till the next moon cycle... Patience in photography pays off!
Image details:
Fujifilm X-T1 with the XF 100-400 Fujinon lens
ISO 200, f8, 1/7sec, 312mm (468mm full frame equivalent)
RAW file developed in Iridient developer
Nik ColorEfex Pro4 for gradual neutral density and contrast
I would like the highlight that the image is single frame (no HDR or image blending); no photoshopping of the moon in the perfect place. To me, it is all about the perfect moment!
As stated in my lens 100-400 review, I'm very impressed with the sharpness of this long focal length lens; this image clearly illustrates it once again!
To me, the above image deserves to be part of my Architectural portfolio, which can be found here.
For those long time blog readers that do have a "Déjà vue", I did indeed shoot a similar image at a wider 200mm focal length just over 2 years ago; called "Moonrise over Dubai".
More Architectural images from Dubai live here.
Remember to "shoot for the moon, if you miss you will end up amongst the stars" - Brian Litrell

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way around http basic authentification that doesn't involve packet sniffing?
Lets say I want to get into the web browser menu for a router so I can change (remove) a network key phrase and get access to a simple wep "secured" network...
I dont want to be just another script kiddie if at all possible, and was wondering if there was a way to write a C based program to do such things.
I am really new to this and know how to get around it using air snort tools and *nix but my laptop came with a built in intel based wireless network card (which isn't supported by any tool lol) and dont want to spend money on a usb wireless setup.
maybe I am overlooking something that is very simple, any help would be great thanks.

Thanks Calex and Eric. I am doing my best to publish it as fast as I can. Do bear with me at this time being.ReplyDelete
Please do the iso tests for us... shoot with noise filter at low with sharpening at -1 and you will get very good results till iso 6400...
Use a high contrast testshot for the isos so that they have deep shadows... if you could post raw files....
Thank you.
Hello Fransisco,
I shot TONNES of ISO images and I will be showing them both Noise Filter OFF and LOW.
I shot them in RAW, but I am not allowed to give out the RAW files. I hope you understand.
I will be publishing the updates in a few days time. Stay connected !
Aaagh! Hurry! I can't believe I am so distracted by a camera I can't even buy yet. This month may kill me.ReplyDelete
hey Matt,
I am doing my best !! Please stay patient just a little bit longer.
I would be most curious to see how the 12-50mm works with the E-M5. I know you were less than thrilled with the 12-50mm on your E-P3, so it will be interesting to see how well it works with the camera it was "designed" with.
I have the E-M5 + 12-50mm on pre-order. I can't wait for it to arrive.
hello Bill,
The 12-50mm is used mainly for video shooting all the time (the friend of mine, Sanjit). Believe me, that lens is amazing for video.
I personally have shot mostly with 12mm F2 and 45mm F1.8, mainly because those are the best lenses in terms of image quality and sharpness.
this sounds really good Robin, although I can't get over how small the camera looks in your hands, I am really unsure of whether to go for an E-5 or E-M5 as an E-1 replacement/addition at this time, since I only have 4/3rds lenses.
Hello Bryan,
There is an optional hand grip to boost the size for better handling and comfort. So it should not be a problem.
Hi Robin!
I knew your site last year, very good congratulations!
sorry my english ... I'm Brazilian.
I have the Olympus E-P3 (and the lenses 14-42mm, 45mm and 40-150mm) ... I love my E-P3 .... but I'm crazy for the OM-D E-M5 .... if the camera for what promises ... I'll sell my e-p3 and the lens 14-42mm .... and buy the E-M5 with 12-50mm lens.
I know that is working to show us his review ... but ask something ... the difference in picture quality between it and dce E-P3 ... is too big?
Thanks for your continuous support and encouragement.
To answer your question, "YES, too BIG !!!"
hai pa' Cik...please take your time...no need to hurry...do your street photohunt that you love...don't forget to work hard at the office
at the Focus, Oly said that E-M5 will available in Jakarta around Mei...if you post your review early Mei is fine...if earlier than that you'll make me go NUTS !!!
don't forget to pair it with that sweet 45/1.8, pa' Cik
that is great news. Personally, I would be much more interested in how it handles, rather than ISO tests - everybody does those. I am hearing a few complaints about the buttons being difficult to press, not very responsive, etc., which worries me more.
Also, do you have access to the additional grips?
Don't forget to enjoy the camera though!
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Can't wait, too. Last month I broke one of my rules and preordered this camera, in spite of having recently bought the GH2. My rule is to wait 12-18 months and look for a real good price.
Anyway, I am hoping for some good quality user reviews (like yours!) so I can delete my pre-order before delivery, should it seem the camera doesn't meet the hype. Actually, new cameras never meet the hype, but I am hoping the EM5 will come close.
First thank you Robin for doing all this. It helps us a lot understand this camera!
I'm also very curious about how the 12-50mm works out with the EM-3, I hope it works better than with the E-P3 for photography (with the 5 axis stab) and re-worked firmware.
I'm also planning on buying the EM-3 with 12-50mm for mainly making HDR landscapes so lens overall photo quality and Dynamic Range are my main concerns.
Any thoughts about those two features for the EM-5 Robin?
Robin, will the sigma 30mm 1.4 work decently on it?ReplyDelete
The review will be up in few days time. I am almost done with the writing and the photos.
Hello Vladimir,
I am enjoying the camera through and through !! Yes, handling of the camera will be one of the main things I discuss in one of the review parts. Also, I am using the horizontal hand grip for my shooting.
Peter F,
I think you will not regret your decision to pre-order the camera. E-M5 is actually MORE than what the specs says. It will surely change the world, trust me.
You might just to wait for my full write up which I will be publishing soon. I am addressing your questions in them.
Hello Nelson,
I test the camera purely on Olympus native micro 4/3 lenses only. There are possibly millions of lenses out there to test and I just do not have the time to try out everything. I was only given the camera for two days. I hope you understand.
that sounds great. I will have only one question then. When using the landscape grip, does the additional dial just mirror the sub-dial or it can be set to another function and then you have 3 separate dials?
Thanks for taking the time!
slow down, take a breath, take your time...
good to hear you do not have to carry all the burden alone - and also good to hear that you use those fine primes m4/3 has to offer, rather than the odd 12-50 for foto shooting
That was just the front dial, same as the existing one, placed on the grip for easier access. Nothing additional and you cannot use three dials for different controls. Effectively there are only two dials.
Hello Mige0,
Since micro 4/3 lenses are at their finest in the primes, so I must test the E-M5 with the primes !!
Hey Robin, if I keep pressing ctrl-F5 your review will be up faster?
Just kidding, but I REALLY look forward for your review.
Glad to hear that you'll be writing about the handling, this is something that I want to improve over my E-PL2. I'm considering get the battery grip for this.
I also have high hopes for the announced 60mm Macro, but it will probably take many months before we hear about it again.

Please hurry your killing me RobinReplyDelete
Hey Robin,
Love the videoteaser and I'm looking forward in reading your review! Your articles/photographs/videos really give forth your passion for photography and that is why I love coming back here.
Take care!
Your review for E-M5 is something I have been waiting for long time, Robin!
I am so pleased to know that it is going to be available very soon. I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful pictures!!
Hello Dotraki,
I have high hopes for the 60mm too !!
Hello Eugene and Kaz,
Just a bit more !!! Working very closely with the videographer friend. Doing our best now.
The teaser video on the hand held video looks pretty interesting. I am interested on how well the stabilization works with it, especially since some of the early Olympus test vids were not very helpful at determining quality. Like everyone else I am really looking forward to your review! Thanks in advance.ReplyDelete
can't wait for your review. heck i feel like taking the day off from work to go shooting when i get mine.ReplyDelete
hello Tony,
The teaser, and all the upcoming videos (yes there is plenty more) will ALL be handheld footages. Everything was done handheld while video recording.
hello Valerie,
I concur !! Take a day off and go shoot shoot shoot !!

In terms of high ISO image quality, what is the highest ISO image can be used?
I am thinking to upgrade my classic Canon 5D with mk III but the price is beyond my budget
Hello Stevo,
The high ISO performance will be one of the main highlights in my series of reviews. please wait a little longer.
Hi Robin,
Great blog! Please, can you tell more about DR at base ISO.
DR will be the main topic in my first part of review. Soon !!!!
Hi Robin:
Always waiting for your reviews. They are the best IMHO.
If possible incude a couple of pictures with the 12-50 at 12mm from f8.0 to f16.
Maybe it's just me, but I normally reserve this level of excitement for Apple keynotes! I definitely haven't refreshed a webpage as much since the last one.ReplyDelete
Hello Claudio,
I will do my best.
Hello Tony,
I assure you it will be worth the wait !!!
Hello Robin, I'm really looking forward for your review, I check your site 3, 4 times per day :-) High-Iso is one thing, and it's nice to have good image quality in this range, but I hope there is also an improvement of image quality and dynamic range at base iso compared to the PEN cams (even if I'm still very happy with the pics I make with my E-PL2). Good High-Iso is useless without good base iso. And I also wonder how the new stabilization system works.ReplyDelete
Hello Matthias,
Agreed ! Actually dynamic range at base ISO is more important in most of my real life applications.
Hey Robin, I am sure you are doing a great job, and I am waiting with bated breath.
Im just wondering how you got to be the lucky so & so to get to do the first in-depth OM-D E-M5 review in the whole world?
Hello Ser,
I don't think I am the first. There are quite a few websites who have published in depth reviews, such as Pekka Potka.
Hmm, yes, but they all sort of miss the target, or obsess about the same few things (Ahem.. enough already with the high iso samples)..
Sounds to me like what you're doing is more like an in-depth review - at least I feel your'e covering a broad range of questions in reasonable depth from a user's POV - and thats what I for one really want(& many others I suspect).
You've got to admit there are very few OM-Ds in private hands around the world ATM, I was just idly wondering how it came about that you got one.
BTW - how far till review :-) . I also can't wait..
Will probably buy one, although they will be about $US 1,600 here in Australia - sigh - we're used to it.
Great review - one of the best I've seen for any camera in ages. Nice to see the camera used in a real life situation rather than just for shooting test charts!ReplyDelete
Thanks Hoggs !! Indeed, we should take more real photographs instead of just charts.ReplyDelete
Robin, Brilliant as usual. But If you are in the video wkth the EM5 what was the video shot with?ReplyDelete
hello JimD,
Another E-M5 of course, which was done by my good friend and great photographer/videgrapher Sanjit. I have linked to his blog too.
