Happy to see Mel & Mike, Kisha & Jen. Couldn't stand the cheerleaders the first time, really don't want to see them again. Would have preferred Michael & Kevin to Gary & Mallory.

Why don't they just call this Season 14 pt 2?
Where are Dallas and Toni?!!! PISSED. But I'm glad Zev and Justin are getting a second chance.
As much as I love Jeff and Jordan, they were too much of a distraction from the show their season, they were all I focused on and when they went home I was done. I'm kind of glad they're not back. :( BBAS 2 instead!

Tobacco Politics – Can Vapor Harm Reduction Survive Government's Love Of Cash
Rechargeable Electronic Cigarettes: A Modern Method To Quit Smoking For Good
Smoking cigarettes can be relaxing and is enjoyed by millions of people in the world, but it is also a leading causes of death and illness.
Those who do not cause themselves serious harm by smoking will likely experience lower than normal levels of health and a range of other disadvantages. It might seem bizarre to non-smokers that people would spend so much money on a habit that causes bad breath, stinking clothing, discolored fingers, disease, and even death. Unfortunately, smokers do not just enjoy tobacco, but are physically addicted to their cancer-causing hobby, and often feel helpless to quit.
It takes little effort to begin smoking but can involve decades of stress and wasted money to stop. It is little wonder why a product that can help people give up their addiction to tobacco is so desired by the public. Electronic cigarettes are one of these products and they have already helped countless people by giving them an easy and affordable way to finally give up tobacco forever.
At first the idea of an electronic cigarette might be confusing.
Yes, they are still called cigarettes but that is the main similarity – under the surface they aren't similar at all. A traditional cigarette is simply a primitive way to deliver nicotine into the body, which is what gives smokers the calming feeling that they crave, but there are worse things that are also delievered with that nicotine. Because the tobacco is burnt and the smoke from it is drawn into the lungs, the negative effects are many.
An electronic cigarette using a completey different method to give the user their dose of nicotine, and it does not involve burning anything or inhaling smoke. Instead, a substance commonly known as 'eliquid' (a simple mixture of glycerine, food-grade additives and nicotine) is heated up by a small heating elelement within the electronic cigarette. This produces vapour, instead of smoke, which is drawn into the lungs and gives a feeling much like a regular cigarette. There is no tar being deposited in the lungs with an electronic cigarette, so extreme fits of coughing and many other ailments associated with tobacco smoke are no longer an issue.
After discovering what an electronic cigarette does, many wish to know how they work. The actual device is made up of several parts. There is a battery, which can be recharged and used many times, and this is attached to a part that holds the liquid and the heating element. The battery sends a charge to the element, and this allows the user to draw vapour from the end of the ecigarette. These devices are easy to use, no matter what the owner's age or experience with technology.
Electronic cigarettes allow smokers to continue their habit while quitting tobacco at the same time. The act of smoking is simply replaced with what is called 'vaping', or 'vaperizing'. A cylindrical object is still taken to the lips and a substance that is smoke-like is still inhaled. However, there is no guilt or fear of illness with 'vaping' electronic cigarettes. Another perk of using 'ecigrattes' over old-style cigarettes is that there are multitudes of different flavors to try.
In addition to poor health and physical side-effects, many smokers complain of the high price of smoking tobacco. Electronic cigarettes can save smokers unbelievable amounts of money, without forcing them to give up a habit that they love. It does not take long to realise how much money can be saved by giving up the habit of buying packs upon pack of cigarettes each week, only to burn them up and dispose of the remains. Electronic cigarettes can be used and reused, with the liquid being refilled and some minor parts being replaced periodically.
'E-cigs' are cheaper to operate than tobacco is to buy, but it also depends on how much a person uses.
A single, small bottle of nicotine liquid can last a person up to 2 weeks, even during heavy use. For those who 'vape' more casually, the cost will be even less. If the consumable products are bought in large quantities, the price will be even lower. Because these devices do not produce smoke, there is no issue with enjoying them inside or in a vehicle. The vapour creates a faint and fragrant scent and quickly dissipates, leaving no lingering stench at all.

Results tagged "Seyonara" from Hawk Talk - Sam
Hey Everyone,
This is a sad entry. This will be my last blog for UMass Lowell. I have been writing for two years and I have enjoyed sharing my experiences with you all. I hope that you have all learned something from me, whether it be about UML or study tips or time management skills. I have had a lot of amazing opportunities and I have realized that, looking back, I have grown a lot since I've been documenting my college experience. These entries are like my own college time-capsule. (Along with my facebook, let's be serious.)
Grad School is shaping up. I'm mailing out the last few things I have this week and then it is all out of my hands. The grad school journey has been a long one, and it hasn't even really started yet! If applying has caused me this much stress, I'm nervous to see where the program itself will take me. To that, I say BRING IT ON! :) New adventures and challenges, here I come.
But before I pack my bags and head off to grad school, I have one last semester at UMass Lowell. This makes me TERRIBLY sad and I don't want to leave. But I digress.
Anyways, my last semester is going to be a crazy one and I'm going to crack down and take my 18-credits and work and try and get dean's list one last time. These are my big time goals. So as you're reading my last entry, I want you to set high goals for yourself next semester. Not just in academics, join a new club, apply for a new job, do something completely out of your comfort zone. I'm asking you to push yourself, make Spring 2010 your best semester yet.
I wish you all the BEST of luck in your future!!!!!!
As always...
Thanks for reading!
Sam :)

Mudpuppypalooza will feature fun and educational activities such as mask making, games and mudpuppy cookie decorating. The event will also include zookeeper talks, where visitors can view mudpuppies up close while learning about the species and conservation efforts on its behalf. Admission to the Belle Isle Nature Zoo and all Mudpuppypalooza activities are free.
In 2006, the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) embarked on a program to monitor the Detroit River mudpuppies, conducting catch-and-release surveys to track populations and better detect declines. Mudpuppies are measured, weighed and implanted with computer chips for identification before being returned to the river.
"While not a threatened species, mudpuppies are considered good environmental indicators of pollution and other potentially detrimental conditions," said DZS Curator of Amphibians Marcy Sieggreen. "The data gathered in our mudpuppy surveys provides a valuable baseline for monitoring the health of the Detroit River ecosystem."
The mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) is the second-largest salamander in the western hemisphere and is considered an important part of Michigan's aquatic ecosystem. Unlike its amphibian cousins, the mudpuppy never forms air-breathing lungs, but rather relies on the bushy red gills behind its head to breathe under water. The slippery salamander is typically brownish-gray with dark spots and a yellowish belly. A mature mudpuppy ranges in size from 8 to 15 inches.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Canon's exceptional EOS Rebel T3i may just be the finest combination of cutting-edge technology, smart shooting options, and user friendliness we've ever seen. From its newly designed, easy-to-grip body to its no-compromise photographic performance, this camera offers shutterbugs at every level a lot to love. Newbies will appreciate Canon's new Feature Guide that displays short, on-screen explanations of what each function does to help them learn how things work. Experienced shooters will find extensive settings that provide precise control over virtually every image-taking parameter, plus advanced features like wireless control of multiple off-camera flashes for creating dramatic lighting effects. Canon also included their 18-55mm image-stabilizing zoom lens with this kit for capturing outstanding, blur-free photos under all kinds of shooting conditions. Cool new features you can really use The T3i starts off with a beautiful high-res 3" LCD screen that tilts and swivels for grabbing fantastic stills and movies from any angle a first for the Rebel line. Then, there's Movie Digital Zoom to magnify your video images by 3-10X while maintaining full HD picture quality great for making long telephoto shots without the bulk and hassle of carrying a big tele lens. Or, check out Video Snapshot mode. The T3i can capture two, four, or eight second bursts of video at a time, then automatically combine them into an exciting "multi-take" movie with your choice of music soundtracks playing in the background. Perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on your HDTV via the camera's HDMI output. From full-auto to hands-on shooting, this cam does it all The T3i makes it easy for everyone to get fantastic photos. Just set the dial to Canon's new Scene Intelligent Auto mode, and let it analyze your shots. It takes into account faces, colors, brightness, movement, and contrast, then automatically picks the perfect enhancements to bring out the best in your pictures. Or you can use the new Basic+ setting to adjust images yourself, even if you're not an expert. This mode provides easy-to-use controls that let you fine-tune the look of your pictures without needing to know anything technical about how it all works. Finally, Canon's in-camera "Creative Filters" let you compose striking photographic effects that can turn your pictures into works of art. For example, Grainy Black & White mode captures images with a gritty film look that lends drama and adds contrast. Or, there's Fish Eye Effect mode, which mimics a "fisheye" lens's rounded, extreme wide-angle characteristics for capturing surreal landscapes and funny portraits.

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I bought this as a gift for my Wife. She was a amatuer photo enthusiast 10 years ago, and this has re-kindled her enjoyment. She is a 'directions-reader', but she had enough confidence to start snapping pictures right away. The basic controls are easy enough for her to understand, and she it interested in the additional feature to help expand her abilities. I bought this off of a recommendation of 2 friends who have used this for a while, and they felt it was a great value.

Pros: Very powerful camera but easy to get started for a beginner Cons: Need to read the manual or other book to really get everything out of the camera. Not a con - just an observation.

Yes No Works great Written By SAS, SLC, UT on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I have had this camera for a week, and have been using it quite a bit. But there is still so much to learn. It is easy to use, the manual is helpful. It feels and looks and acts like a quality camera. I haven't printed any pictures, but it seems like they are great quality. I really like the flip screen. I had it on another point and shoot camera and liked it, so it is nice to have it again! I am glad I bought it and I recommend it to others. Pros: Lightweight Sturdy/quality Comes with Rechargeable battery/and recharging plug in informative manual 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Canon EOS Rebel T3i Written By RDJ, Brighton, TN on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value Reviews, users groups, articles, blogs - I checked them all for the right camera and right company to buy it from. I am a beginner with dslr's and wanted something that allows me to learn to use a professional camera but still lets me just snap a good picture. The Canon T3i with the kit lens fills the bill. The price is reasonable and there is a ton of information for learning to use it. Like everything else worth doing, it takes time to use the manual features. In Auto mode pictures are a snap. This is the first time I have used Crutchfields. What a first class act. They texted me when I placed the order and when it was sent and when it arrived. I had a question about shipping emailed them and in minutes had a good reply. I am a happy camper with the camera and Crutchfield. Pros: 1. Camera has both novice and pro features. 2. Level of support for the Canon T3i's on the web. 3. Crutchfield's service. Cons: 1. None 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera!!

Yes No Professional Quality at Low End Price Written By Stephen, Madison, CT on Thursday, October 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I have used a point and shoot for years, but while taking a digital photography and imaging class I wanted to upgrade to a DSLR. I am extremely happy with this purchase. This camera has many if not most of the features of a high end DSLR, but without the extreme price tag. This camera comes with a great lens (18-55mm) and with the discounted lens deal you can include another adjustable focal length for under $1000 total. I included the 55-250mm lens and now am able to capture a great depth of field as well as zoom to a more detailed image located farther away. This package deal meets both ends of the spectrum as far as focal length and depth of field. Pros: Easy to use, extremely light for a DSLR, variable angle LCD screen, excellent quality photos/video and extremely affordable.

My wife and I have been waiting for this camera to be in stock for a while. When we had the chance we bought and we both suffer from buyers remorse; not on this! We are both novices with a D-SLR but absolutely love what this camera has done for the overall quality of our picture taking. In the first week of having this camera, we took a combined total of approximately 500 pictures! Our family has never looked so good!Quality and ease of use are just right for us and we can't recommend it enough to the beginning digital photographer. Buy it and realize all the moments you were missing. 15 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It has a standard Canon EF mount, and is compatible with Canon EF lenses, including EF-S lenses. Viewfinder: The Canon EOS Rebel T3i uses an eye-level SLR viewfinder with pentamirror with 0.85x magnification (w/50mm lens) for approximately 95% vertical and horizontal coverage. It has a -3.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment so you can focus the viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). When using the self-timer or remote control, when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap, to cover the eyepiece. 3" Clear View LCD Monitor: The EOS Rebel T3i features a flip-out, Vari-angle 3" Clear View TFT color LCD monitor that allows you to shoot at a variety of angles. It has a 3:2 aspect ratio and approximately 1,040,000 dots for Live View composition and viewing recorded images. In normal shooting mode, the monitor displays the shooting settings. A proximity sensor just above the turns off the shooting settings display automatically when your eye nears the viewfinder eyepiece. The LCD monitor offers 100% viewing coverage and 7 brightness levels to choose from. Live View: The Live View Function enables viewing your subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD monitor. The camera allows you to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focusing. You can access a number of Auto Focusing modes including Quick Mode, Live Mode, and Face Detection Live Mode. Exposure simulation displays and simulates how the brightness of the actual image will look. You can choose one of two grid overlay options for the LCD screen to help you line up vertical and horizontal lines. The camera can be controlled remotely via a computer through a USB connection, or wirelessly with the optional RC-6 remote controller (280RC6, sold separately). 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor: Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers approximately 18.7 million total pixels and 18.0 million effective pixels. This APS-C-sized sensor (22.3mm x 14.9mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. DIGIC 4 Image Processor: The next generation DIGIC 4 Image Processor uses advanced signal processing technologies to provide faster operations and write times to the memory card. The chip also enables Face Detection Live mode to detect and focus on multiple faces, while the Auto Lighting Optimizer corrects brightness and contrast automatically. Image Recording: The camera records still images in JPEG and RAW (14-bit Canon original) formats. You can choose from the following image sizes: Large, Medium, Small 1, Small 2, and Small 3. For each resolution (except Small 2 and Small 3), you can set the compression to Fine or Normal. For RAW images, you can record only at the highest resolution. You can set the camera to RAW + JPEG and record a RAW image and a Large Fine JPEG image simultaneously. Aspect Ratio: The camera image sensor has an aspect ratio of 3:2. You can choose to record still images in 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios. This gives you the option of selecting any of the following image sizes: Quality Aspect Ratio and Pixel Count 3:2 4:3 16:9 1:1 Large (JPEG and RAW) 5184 x 3456 (18.0 MP) 4608 x 3456 (16.0 MP) 5184 x 2912 (15.1 MP) 3456 x 3456 (11.9 MP) Medium 3456 x 2304 (8.0 MP) 3072 x 2304 (7.0 MP) 3456 x 1944 (6.7 MP) 2304 x 2304 5.3 MP Small 1 2592 x 1728 (4.5 MP) 2304 x 1728 (4.0 MP) 2592 x 1456 (3.8 MP 1728 x 1728 (3.0 MP) Small 2 1920 x 1280 (2.5 MP) 1696 x 1280 (2.2 MP) 1920 x 1080 (2.1 MP) 1280 x 1280 (1.6 MP) Small 3 720 x 480 (0.35 MP) 640 x 480 (0.31 MP) 720 x 400 (0.29 MP) 480 x 480 (0.23 MP) RAW File Format: The RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera CMOS sensor without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted, then developed and produced into JPEG or TIFF images using the provided software. Recording Media: The EOS Rebel T3i records images on an SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. It is also compatible with some brands of Eye-Fi cards that feature wireless transfer of images, although their performance is not guaranteed. Note: No recording media is supplied with the camera. EOS Integrated Cleaning System: Dust that settles on the sensor surface of the camera is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. In case visible dust still remains, you can delete the effect of the dust particles from the image via the supplied software. Shooting Modes: The EOS Rebel T3i offers 14 different shooting modes arranged on the Mode Dial in the following zones: Basic Zone: Scene Intelligent Auto: the camera analyses the scene, and automatically selects the settings Flash Off: disables the flash Creative Auto: in this auto mode, you can still set the brightness, flash mode, sharpness, image recording quality, and picture style settings. Portrait: blurs the background to make the human subject stand out Landscape: this mode is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc Close-up: use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc Sports: for fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action Night Portrait: this mode is for images of people at twilight or at night Creative Zone: Program AE: this is a general-purpose shooting mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness Shutter-priority AE: in this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject Aperture-priority AE: in this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness Manual Exposure: in this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired Automatic Depth-of-field AE: this mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field automatically between a near subject and far subject Movies: for recording movies (see below) Shooting Movies: The EOS Rebel T3i can record movies in High Definition or Standard Definition at different frame rates. Movies are recorded in MOV format with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression, and Linear PCM audio. You can record audio in mono using the built-in microphone, or in stereo with an optional stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug. When shooting movies, a large-capacity SD card with a speed rating of Class 6 or higher is recommended. Slower cards may not record your movies properly. You can select from the following recording sizes and frame rates: 1920 x 1080: Full HD recording quality with a 16:9 aspect ratio for viewing on a widescreen HDTV; Available frame rates: 30 fps, 24 fps 1280 x 720: HD recording quality with a 16:9 aspect ratio for viewing on a widescreen HDTV; Frame rate: 60 fps 640 x 480: Standard definition recording quality with a 4:3 aspect ratio; Frame rate: 30 fps 9-Point Auto-Focus System: The camera features a high-precision 9-point wide area auto-focus that uses cross-type points with lenses f/5.6 or faster, enabling the camera to focus faster, more accurately, and in ever more complex lighting. In addition, the EOS Rebel T3i incorporates a diagonally mounted, high-precision cross-type sensor at the center AF point that is sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines when fast lenses (f/2.8 or faster) are used, for added accuracy and precision with these wide-aperture lenses. All focus points can be chosen automatically or manually. AF Modes: The camera employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus: One-Shot AF: suited for still subjects, the camera focuses only once. AI Servo AF: for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. The subject will be focused continuously while the shutter button is pressed halfway. AI Focus AF: switches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the subject starts moving. Manual Focusing: If you choose to focus manually, you will need to set the focus mode switch on the lens from AF to MF, and turn the lens focusing ring until the subject looks sharp in the viewfinder. ISO Speed: When shooting in Basic Zone modes, ISO speed is automatically set between 100 and 3200 to suit the shooting conditions. In Creative Zone modes, ISO speed may be set from 100 to 6400 in 1/3-stop increments. When ISO Expansion is turned on, you can also select an ISO speed of 12800. For Auto ISO, you can set the maximum ISO speed between 400 and 6400. White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto: the camera sets the white balance automatically according to shooting conditions, color temperature: 3000-7000 K Daylight: for recording outdoors on a bright day, color temperature: 5200 K Shade: counters strong blue tones in open shade on sunny days, color temperature: 7000 K Cloudy: for cloudy days, dusk and dawn, color temperature: 6000 K Tungsten Light: for incandescent illumination, color temperature: 3200 K White Fluorescent Light: eliminates typical green color casts, color temperature: 4000 K Flash Use: a starting point for studio strobes and Canon Speedlites, color temperature: 6000 K Custom: enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. By selecting this image, you import the white balance data for the setting, color temperature: 2000-10000 K Other WB Settings: Color Temperature: manually set color temperature from 2500-10000 K in 100 K increments White Balance Correction: You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. It has the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically. Shoot by Ambience: Except in the Scene Intelligent Auto and Flash Off Basic Zone modes, you can select the ambience for shooting. You can choose from Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, and Darker, each at Low, Standard, or Strong effects. You can also choose a Monochrome setting, with Blue, B/W, or Sepia effects.

Picture Style setting is not available in Basic Zone modes, except Creative Auto. Picture Style selections include: Auto: the color tone is adjusted to suit the scene Standard: image looks vivid, sharp, and crisp Portrait: for nice skin tones, the image looks slightly sharp and crisp, color tone can be adjusted to change skin tone Landscape: vivid blues and greens, very sharp and crisp image Neutral: natural colors and subdued images, no sharpness applied. (recommended for users who prefer to process images on their PC) Faithful: when the subject is photographed under a color temperature of 5200 K, the color is adjusted colorimetrically to match the subject's color, no sharpness applied (recommended for users who prefer to process images on their PC) Monochrome: for black and white images User Defined 1-3: you can register your own Picture Style settings for Portrait and Landscape modes. Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, although the indicator in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to +/-2 stops. Auto Exposure Bracketing: With auto exposure bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. When in Single Shooting mode, the camera will change the exposure level on three single shots (requiring three presses of the shutter release). In Continuous Shooting mode, you can take three shots with one press of the shutter release, and the exposure levels will change with each shot taken. AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects. Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc. The optional RS-60E3 remote switch (280RS60E3, sold separately) is also recommended for bulb exposures. It connects to the camera's 2.5mm sub-mini remote jack. Flash: The camera's built-in retractable, auto pop-up flash with E-TTL II autoflash metering. The flash takes approximately 3 seconds to recycle for the next flash. The viewfinder has an icon to let you know the flash is ready. You can set the exposure compensation for the flash to +/- 2 stops in 1/3-stop or 1/2-stop increments. The flash range varies with the ISO speed. Other flash functions include: AF-Assist: Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier auto-focusing. It is effective up to approximately 13.1 feet away. FE Lock: FE (flash exposure) lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part of a subject. Red-Eye Reduction: Using the camera's Red-Eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture will reduce the common phenomenon of red-eye effect. External Flash: In addition to the built-in flash, the EOS Rebel T3i has a hot shoe for adding optional external flash units. The camera is compatible with Canon's entire line of EX-series Speedlites, plus Macro Lites for close-ups. Canon EX-series Speedlites offer professional-quality illumination for virtually any subject. Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative Metering: the camera's standard metering mode utilizes 63 zones within the frame, and is suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions; after detecting the main subject's position, brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure Partial Metering: effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc, uses approximately 9% of the frame at the center Spot Metering: for metering a specific part of the subject, uses approximately 3.8% of the frame at the center Center-weighted Average Metering: metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene Continuous Shooting Mode: In Continuous Shooting mode, you can shoot up to about 3.7 shots per second. The maximum number of shots in a single burst will vary with the image quality setting. The total number of images on a 4 GB SD card and the maximum images in a single burst are as follows: Image Size Compression File Size (MB) Possible Shots (4 GB card) Maximum Burst Large 5184 x 3456 Fine 6.4 570 34 Normal 3.2 1120 1120 Medium 3456 x 2304 Fine 3.4 1070 1070 Normal 1.7 2100 2100 Small 1 2592 x 1728 Fine 2.2 1670 1670 Normal 1.1 3180 3180 Small 2 1920 x 1280 Fine 1.3 2780 2780 Small 3 720 x 480 Fine 0.3 10780 10780 RAW 5184 x 3456 24.5 150 6 RAW + JPEG (Fine) 5184 x 3456 24.5 + 6.4 110 3 Self-Timer: The camera will record an image following a preset time delay after pressing the shutter release. The self-timer lamp and beeper will indicate a countdown before the picture is taken.

You can also use the optional remote control in this mode. 2 Second: The camera takes a single image 2 seconds after pressing the shutter release. 10 Second Continuous Shots: The camera begins taking a series of images (two to ten) 10 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed. Mirror Lockup: The Mirror Lockup feature helps prevent camera vibration when using a super telephoto lens or shooting close-ups.

I think Jeff Ireland's firing is a foregone conclusion.
Listen, try and be objective about this. Of all the important people in the organization, whose ass is the hottest? Just answer the question honestly. Ireland's clearly got the biggest bull's eye on his back.
Now also honestly answer this. After seeing how negative everything has gotten after two losses in a row, and now three losses in a row...think to yourself what the environment is going to be like after the Dolphins play the Seahawks, Patriots, 49ers and Patriots again.
It's going to be bad. Even winning games against the Jaguars and Bills wouldn't bring anyone off the brink after having lost 7 of the team's final 9 games. And that's if the team can in fact win both of those games, and I think it's fair to question that.
You're Steve Ross, you've got no attendance by the fans whatsoever, you've got a team that is even worse this year than they were last year if that can be believed, and the fans are directing like 95% of their ire toward the man who has spent the last five years as the architect of this losing roster.
I'm sorry, Ireland's fate is sealed.

Ashley Montecchio saved her best for last and helped Rosemont rally for a 70–67 victory over Keystone College Monday night that earned the senior from Sun Valley High School an exclusive place in the history of the women's basketball program. Going into the week, Montecchio was ranked 1st nationally in points scored per game in NCAA Division III.
Montecchio scored 22 of her 29 points in the second half to become the leading scorer in program history and help the Ravens (10–5 overall, 7–1 CSAC) erase a 15-point second half deficit.
The 29-point effort gave Montecchio 1,432 points, three more than the 1,429 Katie Linder scored during her career at Rosemont College (2003–2007) thereby setting a new school record.
Montecchio has a pattern of breaking records. This past November, against Lancaster Bible, she eclipsed a 21-year old Rosemont record by scoring 37 points, while also adding game-highs with twelve rebounds, five steals, and three blocks. In January, Montecchio broke her own record, scoring 40 points in a win against Delaware Valley. In Rosemont's win over Cairn University on Wednesday, Montecchio became Rosemont's all-time leading blocker, stopping her 171st shot, surpassing the 170 blocks credited to Erin Bender (1997–2001).
Last week Montecchio was named by the conference as a Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Player-of-the-Week; her second time in less than two months to earn this honor.
Andy McGovern, who is in his thirteenth year as Rosemont's women's basketball coach, also coached Katie Linder, the previous holder of the all-time scoring record. McGovern expects this to be a very successful year for Montecchio. "Ashley is a dedicated player and has grown in her athletic ability each year," says McGovern. "She is not only a great scorer but also a great team player."
Both Montecchio and Linder were recognized in a special pre-game event on January 16 in Alumnae Hall where Linder presented the Keystone game ball to Montecchio.

Gallery: Innovative Wildlife Crossings for Denver's Perilous I-70 West
Wild (X)ing by The Olin StudioThe modular units are used as like in some green roofs and each are planted with a variety of native plants and trees.
The ARC International Wildlife Crossing Design Competition asked architects and designers to come up with beautiful and compelling designs able to meet the needs and improve the safety for both the people and the wildlife. The competition also highlighted the desire to implement solutions that used materials that would give way to less costly infrastructure improvements.
In the last 15 years, vehicle-wildlife collisions have increased by 50%, posing dangers for both the wildlife and humans, and ultimately costing Americans $8 billion annually. The competition sought to generate feasible design solutions geared specifically for the I-70 highway corridor West of Denver and just after the Vail Pass, as well as ideas that could be implemented all over North America.
Five architects and their teams were selected as finalists this last week and include, Janet Rosenberg & Associations from Toronto, HNTB Engineering with Michael Van Valkenburgh & Associates from New York, The Olin Studio from Philadelphia, Zwarts & Jansma from Amsterdam, and Balmori Associates of New York. Many of the designs follow a similar pattern of a large landscaped bridge that crosses the interstate and funnels wildlife across a safe path. Some of the finalists include modular and prefabricated construction as well as techniques used for green roof plantings.

This type of land bridge structure for animals has been in use or years (approx 10yrs to my memory) in Banff And Jasper National Parks in Canada. The Hwy system is fenced-off in all directions with the bridges as often as 2-3km, thus funneling the animals towards the land bridge. YES they work great, and have been saving the lives of Humans and the Animals since introduced.
December 2, 2010 at 5:07 pm
In response to tjane09's comment:
Yes, it's true that animals won't naturally seek out bridges unless the bridges are designed to take advantage of land-form and habitat patterns. Another key component of these bridges which has not been widely reported is that all of the proposals include fencing between bridges, underpasses, and disruptive terrain features (i.e. steep rocky slopes – though not a problem for bighorn sheep). Animals don't cross the highway randomly, rather a significant amount of field research suggests that ideal locations for bridges such as these can be pinpointed and that animals can be funneled onto them. Of course, these proposals will need to be refined over time as the knowledge expands, but they're a great start!
December 2, 2010 at 12:55 pm
this is a good idea in theory…but most animals aren't goin to say…hey why don't i walk a couple minutes down that way and safely cross over the highway with that bridge…. they are just going to cross the highway…
December 1, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I remember a West Wing episode years ago where "dimwitted" conservationists proposed building a animals only highway as a way to protect animals. In the show the scientists were basically laughed out of the building. The shows "solution" was rediculous but the problem that it tried to address is very real.
It's nice to see that people are taking looking into ways to save lives and protect animals.

I wonder if you agree with the full context of this quote in Ven G's book, which is that mindfulness can be deliberately cultivated, and it is a matter of discipline choice that leads to the cultivation of mindfulness. Also, that passage refers to a well cultivated mindfulness. Like passages you have quoted above, this also seems to be out of context in the way you are using it here.
well lets look at what well cultivated mindfulness is?
do you mean it is something that happens while in a meditation retreat? if so is it a 10 day retreat, or a one month , or three year? say he is in a football scimmage after the retreat, is there a time limit, after the retreat ends, when he no longer has the ability to have mindfulness in the football scrimmage or while in a raging fury
or does it apply to someone who meditates an hour a day? or twice a day?
when this person is in the middle of a football scrimmage what sort of processes arise that give this "discipline choice" that you mention?

Put an End to Earaches
Here's the $64,000 question: Why do children's ear infections keep coming back despite multiple courses of antibiotics? Because they're mostly caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics don't treat the cause of the problem—the virus. They just provide temporary relief of the symptoms, says Sandy Newmark, an integrative pediatrician in Tucson, Arizona. Fortunately, recent research is changing the way doctors treat ear infections—studies show that 58 percent of ear tube surgeries are unnecessary, and 90 percent of ear infections clear up without antibiotics. "The trick is to boost immunity and use natural remedies to drain fluid before it solidifies and a doctor has to punch a hole in the eardrum," says Steve Cowan, a holistic pediatrician and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. Try these safe and effective alternatives next time your child starts tugging at her ear and complaining of an ache.
Garlic-mullein ear drops.
Several Israeli studies show these naturopathic drops are just as effective as conventional ones. A blend of garlic, mullein, and St. John's wort in an olive-oil base launches an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial attack against ear infections. "Mullein is a natural decongestant," says Cowan. "While the oil seeps through the eardrum membrane and breaks up mucus buildup, garlic's natural antibacterial qualities help reduce pain." Try Herbs Etc.'s Ear Drops ($12.98, 1 oz; herbsetc.com).
A potent antioxidant and free-radical scavenger, glutathione nasal spray proved 65 percent effective in relieving chronic fluid in the ears in studies conducted by the Second University School of Medicine in Naples, Italy. Benjamin Asher, an integrative ear, nose, and throat specialist in New York City, recommends 600 mg daily for two weeks to break up the glue-like mucus buildup.
Enhance the immune system with echinacea to boost resistance to viruses. This purple coneflower extract increases your body's production of white blood cells, which defend the body against infection. Take 100 to 150 mg of the herb three times daily.
Antibiotics kill the good bacteria in a child's intestines, which upsets her digestive system. Lawrence Rosen, an integrative pediatrician in Oradell, New Jersey,
recommends trying Ultra Bifidus made by Metagenics ($29.95, 75 grams; metagenics.com); or Culturelle for Kids ($7.99, 10 capsules; culturelle.com) to strengthen the gut. Also try Natren's Life Start for infants ($16.95, 1.25 oz; natren.com).

1 pound
ground chicken
1/2 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon
lime juice
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
1 tablespoon
ground black pepper
cooking spray
hamburger buns
avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/4 cup
ranch dressing, or to taste
yummy! ground chicken is probably one of the nastiest things to handle... before it is cooked. It is kind of hard to keep the burgers together but as long as you form somewhat of a patty and get it into the pan you will be fine (you can reshape as you go). Also, be sure not to overcook these guys. Like all overcooked chicken, they will be dry and not as flavorful. I just check the middle after a few minutes on each side when the meat looks cooked, it usually doesn't take much longer. I also added chopped jalapenos to the burger mixture, so good!
This was my first time cooking ground chicken. After I added all of my ingredients together it wouldn't hold together. Then I added egg and bread crumbs to help it hold together and it became VERY sticky. MY husband didn't attempt to grill them b/c he figured they would fall through the grill. I panfried them (4 min on one side was too long). 4 min on one side and 3 on the other. I was the only one who liked them. I think if you put a little salsa on the bun it would be even better. But, really? What did I do wrong?
67 Ratings
It was good but not great. Hint; resist the urge to try to bind the meat with egg or breadcrumbs. Actually resist the urge to touch it at all....treat the burger like cookie dough and use a spoon when time to fry just drop a large dallop into pan, it will stick together.
Served this to my son-in-law who doesn't like much of anything, and he said "This is good." Very high praise from him.
Good recipe!! I substituted fresh garlic & ginger as it give a better flavour. Garlic powder tends to smell nasty & strong. Also, I used more chopped Cilantro. Very good!
Made this last night and my husband LOVED it! He said, "Honey, I am so lucky to have you as my wife!"...needless to say, this is an excellent recipe :) I added chopped jalepenos and a dash of cumin. We aren't "bun" people so we ate them breadless with slices of avocado and topped with dressing:
For the dressing I mixed a hidden valley ranch packet into plain yogurt and added diced onion, lime zest, and fresh cilantro.
The tartness from the yogurt gives it an AWESOME flavor.
You will not regret making this recipe!
I had avocado and cilantro in my fridge... Goggled and this is the recipe I got. YUMMY!! The avocado gives it the right texture And the ranch makes it a perfect blend. I followed the recipe exactly!
Not bad health wise either... Only 7 weight watcher plus points! (okay add the bun and it was 10 but you could substitute something else for the bun!!)
Definitely recommend!
We were split on this tonight - half of us really loved it and half it was ok. I followed the recipe except cut the garlic in half. Definitely recommend making ahead and letting rest in the refrigerator to allow flavors to blend and for burgers to set (so they handle easier). Have been requested again but only in smaller slider form.
