To set up a website, you will need two things: web hosting and domain name. These two are more of a package deal, and it is quite hard to differentiate these two, but they are two different things.
The domain name can be compared to the entries of a phone book. Computers use these entries (domain name) to communicate with each other, and these are called IP addresses. Just like how the phone book allows to you to contact or reach out to a person. The domain tells computers that a particular domain is hosted on a specific server. The web-hosting or server portion can be compared to space we rent to have our business. Web-Hosting is just space, and it does not account to include a site for you to sell your services or products; to say in simple terms, a domain name is the address of your business, and space which your business occupies is called as web-hosting.
Domain name:
You get to claim the rights to your site's name when you register a domain, and nobody will be able to access to your website's name in that particular domain, other than you.
If you have a domain, it does not mean that you can provide your site to the rest of the world. To run and put your site up, you will need a web server which is appropriately configured and a proper domain.
Web Hosting:
Web hosting refers to the web server which stores all the data files. The web host providers rents out network connection and web servers for the end users. The web hosting providers will handle most server maintenance work like root configuration, backup, disaster recoveries, maintenance, etc. But there are some cases where the end users need to do all the maintenance work.
Only when you have web hosting, you will have a place to keep your files, and thus your domain will be like a phone which is disconnected.
You will need web hosting and domain name to put your site online. When you get both these elements from the same provider, it makes your registration process very easy. When you have the same provider, you can start working on your site at the earliest. If you happen to get the web hosting and the domain name from two different companies, then you need to transfer your domain name from the register of your web host. It is more like asking the phone company to change your number of the phone to your new location. The changing process is called as changing the DNS.
So if a person visits the site that you have put up, the server will send files to that user and they will be able to see the webpage.

2012 Olympic Kodak Brownie Camera
April 12, 2010
Reviving the Kodak Brownie for the future Olympics is quite exciting and traditional, since Brownies were often made to commemorate events and anniversaries. Just to skim through a few details: this 2012 Olympic Kodak Brownie has been modeled as a 'box Brownie'; specifically the Brownie Flash 3 from 1962. Proportionate to the Flash 3, the new avatar is 66% of the scale, representing the tech advances made since the original was discontinued.
Key features include:
* The 'triple-lens' design with one main aperture and two viewfinder apertures.
* One simple shutter button with no other controls
* A disproportionally large flash.
* A decorated front.
* A fold up sports viewfinder.
The viewfinders, aperture and shutter are located in the same positions as in the original Brownie, making it feel like home to the Brownie lovers.
The Modern Features include a fabric wrist-strap located at the rear of the camera, which replaces the leather strap found on the top of the older camera.
How to use the Brownie:
Like the original Brownie, the user must look down from above into the viewfinders; and like the original Brownie, a different viewfinder is used depending on the orientation of the camera and the picture being taken, one viewfinder is used with a portrait image and the other for a landscape image. For low-light photography, a flash is included in the camera. Unlike older box-Brownie models, the flash is included in the design and pivots outwards from its storage position inside the side of the camera.
The camera can be manufactured using ABS to give it sustainability.

hi. this is what i've come up with for the invisible cities project assigned by the photography course that i'm taking. i based my work on an article that i've read once, about how our speech gets recorded in outer space and never gets lost; and how that data may be deciphered one day. so i took these photos originating from that idea.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is seeking free-of-charge access to emergency call services for 'two-way' and 'dial-out only' Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
The ACMA is seeking the amendments to the regulatory obligations for telecommunications providers through the Telecommunications (Emergency Call Service) Determination 2002 legislation.
As new and innovative services are introduced, the proposals are designed to provide greater certainty for consumers when it comes to emergency call access.
ACMA's proposals deliver on recommendations for emergency call access contained in the Examination of Policy and Regulation relating to VoIP report by the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, released in November 2005.
Chris Chapman, ACMA chairman, said the current emergency call service arrangements have served the Australian public well and the goal is to maintain this safeguard.
'Many VoIP providers already provide free-of-charge access to triple zero and these proposals clarify that the obligation applies to all VoIP services capable of dialling into the public telephone network," Chapman said.
ACMA is also proposing that VoIP services must be flagged in the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) so that the emergency call service operator will know to ask the caller for location information.
The IPND is a national database of all listed and unlisted public telephone numbers, customer name and address information and the name of the customer's carriage service provider.
Details of the proposed changes are contained in a consultation paper and draft amendment, released for public comment today and available on the ACMA Web site.

The capture of the perpetrators in the Brussels shooting does make me feel safer. One less terrorist on the streets is one less person we need to worry about. It also give the impression that western governments will stop at nothing to win the war on terror. Leaving these people free to plan further attacks had Europe on edge for months.
Great news that the perpetrators of this horrific crime have been caught and will be brought to justice accordingly. However it does not make me, and I'll assume the majority of the population, feel any safer. The situation with ISIS, the turmoil in Syria and the Islamic extremism has not been resolved. I fully expect further attacks until the west steps up its response and combats the situation. And I will agree that boots on the ground would be an effective strategy to adopt.
Although the Brussels shootout was a terrible tragedy and disgusting on the part of those who did the shooting, catching those people does not make me feel safe. We live in a world with easy access to insane weapons by people who are not mentally stable. The capture of these perpetrators is unfortunately only a small victory in the face of insane individuals.
As long as there are people that are willing to commit suicide in order to advance a political ideology, we'll never be safe. Also, the United States has decided not to be tough on immigration, because it doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. They would rather their own citizens die than turn anyone away.
No, the capture of the perpetrators of the Brussels shootout doesn't make me feel safe because ISIS personnel are still carrying out attacks in Turkey and still have large amounts of territory under their control. I believe that more needs to be done to permanently cripple ISIS and until then the world is still going to be on edge.

CSG Salutes Innovations in State Government
By Mary Branham, CSG Managing Editor, and Mikel Chavers, CSG Associate Editor
As states deal with continuing economic woes, many are seeking innovative solutions. For one state, that means collaborating with other states.
Wisconsin was recognized twice during The Council of State Governments Annual Meeting in November for projects working with other states. It joined with Minnesota in an effort to improve government efficiency by sharing services. The Wisconsin-Minnesota Collaboration Project won the 2009 Keon Chi State Governance Transformation Award.
"It's tremendously powerful to learn from other states," Aaron Olver, deputy secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, said in accepting the award Nov. 14.
The state also won a 2009 CSG Innovations Award for Egrants— Comprehensive Grants Management System, in which the Office of Justice Assistance in Wisconsin worked with Pennsylvania's Commission on Crime and Delinquency on a project to streamline the grants process.
Pennsylvania had the idea first and developed a Web-based grants management system using the federal Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Grant Program. Pennsylvania's Commission on Crime and Delinquency shared the source code for the process and Wisconsin implemented its e-grant program in 2006.
Seven other states were recognized with Innovations Awards, which annually recognize the best of the best programs in the states.
Midwest >>
In addition to the Egrants program, the Midwest region was represented by the Michigan Water Withdrawal Assessment Process. The process is part of a regional effort to protect the Great Lakes and prevent large scale water diversion from the basin. The state developed models to illustrate the impact of water withdrawal. Based on the scientific evidence, Michigan lawmakers passed legislation that set standards for the amount of water that could be safely withdrawn.
East >>
The New Jersey Division of Parole's Regional Assessment Center sends parolees who commit a technical violation of the terms of their parole—not a new crime—are sent to Regional Assessment Centers run by the Division of Parole instead of back to prison. Those parolees are interviewed and get help needed to address problems they may be facing.
The New York Department of Transportation GreenLITES program recognizes sustainable transportation projects. Many states already incorporate environmental sustainability in transportation departments to a degree. GreenLITES—which Stanley Gee, acting commissioner for the New York state Department of Transportation, likens to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, Green Building Rating System—is a way to streamline those efforts.
South >>
Kentucky's Re-entry Hotline is a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week support line for people fresh out of prison or jail. It helps those people get in touch with needed social services, financial services, emotional support, substance abuse treatment, community resources and much more. Staffed completely by inmates, officials said the hotline is reaping rewards for those still in jail as well.
West Virginia's eCDL program uses laptops equipped with global positioning system technology and video and audio recording to track trucks' movements through the entire commercial driver's license test. The state wants to make sure truck drivers really do take—and legitimately pass—the CDL driver test.
West >>
Wyoming's Healthy Families Succeed is about moving families to self-sufficiency through health and job support. That's just better for Wyoming's economy, said Robert Lampert, director of the Wyoming Department of Corrections. In fact, the program found that healthier families—both health-wise and job-wise—rely less on state services. State costs decreased by an average of more than $1,900 per person enrolled in the program.
New Mexico's Innovative Digital Education and Learning program, nicknamed IDEAL-New Mexico, is a technology platform where students and public employees can take classes and courses completely online. It's free to school districts, state agencies and other public entities. The program has the power to reduce travel expenses through online classes as well as provide people in rural areas unprecedented access to classes they might not be able to take otherwise.

Durham Regional Police will be enforcing the new "distracted driver's bill" effective February 1, 2010 and will be transitioning their educational three-month period into an enforcement mode.
In an effort to make Ontario roads safer, the Provincial Government passed Bill 118, commonly known as the distracted driver's bill. This new law makes it illegal to use a cellphone and other electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle on a highway in Ontario. A three-month education period was extended to all drivers. This educational time period will end on Monday February 1, 2010.
Officers will ticket offenders under this new legislation for a fine of $150 to any driver found in contravention of the new law. Prohibitions under the new law include:
- hand-held wireless communication devices such as cellphones and BlackBerrys; hand-held electronic entertainment devices such as iPods; Playstation portables and Nintendo DS games,
- texting and emailing,
-programming directions or changing information on GPS devices,
-having display screens visible to the driver if they are unrelated to the driving tasks, such as DVD players and laptop computers.
This new law has provided exceptions for drivers to use hands-free communication devices with an earpiece; headset; speakerphone or Bluetooth. There is also an exception for calling 911 or if the driver has pulled off the roadway or stopped on the shoulder ensuring they are not impeding traffic.
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of collisions on our roadways. All drivers are encouraged to abide by this law and not use these electronic devices while driving.
Roadway safety continues to be a top priority of the Durham Regional Police and as a result, the offences relating to distracted driving will be strictly enforced.

Sat Oct 19th 2013 - 0800 hrs - Headwaters!
We'll meet at the Lions Club Outdoor pool on Jerseyville Road (see the
attached map). We'll head out on the Spring Valley Trail, along side the
creek. It doesn't matter which trail on the left you head up, they all lead
you to Martin Road. Turn right on the road and head over the continuation of
the Headwaters Trail. You've got the loop at the top and then follow the
Headwaters Trail all the way back down,crossing straight over Martin Road on
the way back. You'll come to a 'T' eventually - Headwaters continues on your
left, you want to go right which puts you back on the Spring Valley Trail.
This walk takes the usual 2 1/2 hours and our favourite Sammy's is just down
the road for breakfast.
There is a chance I might not be there Saturday - the Toronto International
Bike Show is on and we haven't decided yet if we want to go.There is also
the chance we could be 'singing in the rain' - Saturday has a 'slight'
possibility of rain. The Carolinian forest canopy (or what's left of it)
will help keep us a little drier than if we were out in the open - still,
bring a change of clothes and shoes. A baseball cap will also help keep the
rain off the face/glasses. Ya, that's right...we're not made of sugar ya
know! And besides, we need to get as much time in on the trails as
possible....that four letter word is just around the corner.

text: To many people, the word "Celiac Sprue" may sound like a pretty name for a woman, but for those suffering from the disease it's anything but. Celiac disease affects about 1 in 130 people and is a reaction to food proteins found in wheat, rye, oats and barley. Eating these foods damages the lining of the small intestine, causing a number of physical symptoms including abdominal cramping, anemia, fatigue, mouth sores, joint pain and weight loss. On Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. there will be a Celiac Disease Gluten Intolerance Conference sponsored by Avera St. Luke's Hospital and the Aberdeen Celiac Support Group. It will take place at the Avera St. Luke's Education Center, 709 Sixth Ave. S.E. Registration is $15 for one person or $20 for two people in the same family. A gluten-free lunch is included with the registration. The program is for children and adults previously diagnosed, those who have been recently diagnosed or anyone who wants to learn more about the disease. Speakers for the conference are dietician Cathy Birch-Deics of MedCenter One Health Systems in Bismarck, N.D., formerly of Aberdeen, and Dr. Cristina Hill-Jensen of Avera McKennan's Digestive Disease Institute in Sioux Falls. Trenton Aman, 14, of Leola, was 7 years old when he was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. It started out with painful stomachaches in the morning that would abate at around 10:30 a.m. "I had bad headaches, my legs hurt and my joints hurt," he said. Trenton started getting eczema and his parents, Nancy and Allen Aman, decided to take him to La Crosse, Wis., where he was finally diagnosed. "I started feeling better about a week after I went on the diet," he said. For a teenager with an active life, avoiding gluten can be a tremendous challenge. While his friends can feast on pizza and burgers, Aman has to avoid those foods. "At McDonald's I'll have the largest order of fries you can get and a sundae," he said. "The hardest part, other than finding places to eat, is resisting the food." Rice is acceptable, so for breakfast Aman, who used to love to eat bagels, now eats Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles. "A couple years back I brought my lunch to school, but now they just let me have extra soup and meat instead," he said. While celiac disease and gluten intolerance have an inheritability factor, neither Aman nor his mother, Nancy, are aware of anyone else in the family who has it. The Internet was a blessing to Nancy as she did a lot of research on gluten intolerance after Trenton was diagnosed. "You can call the companies and they will send out a products list," she said. "In the bigger cities, they'll have a section of gluten-free foods or you can order things over the Internet," she said. "When cooking, you have to be careful of cross-contamination. You can't store things with flour in the same cabinet." Michael Jurgens, coordinator of the local support group, was diagnosed about 20 years ago when he was age 40. According to the Celiac Sprue Association, diagnosis can happen at any age, but the most common age is 50. "I had gastrointestinal problems," said Jurgens. His doctor removed everything in his diet until he was eating only meat, potatoes and vegetables and then slowly added in other foods. "He started by adding in milk to make sure I wasn't lactose intolerant," said Jurgens. "Then we finally found out what I had. These days you can just take a simple blood test." Since Jurgens was diagnosed with adult-onset celiac disease, more products catering to the gluten-intolerant diet have hit the market. "I lived on rice cakes for a long time," said Jurgens. "They're not too bad if you put enough stuff on them but today I can barely look at a rice cake. Now you can buy crackers, cookies, bread and even brownies. They're more expensive, though." Airlines will even prepare a special meal if the flier requests it at the time of booking. The local support group provides information-sharing, recipes and a gluten-free potluck lunch. For more information about the conference, call (605) 622-5588. For info about the support group, contact Jurgens at 226-3865.

BUSINESS WIRE via StimulatingBroadband.com 05/08/09 Generating revenue from next-generation, fiber to the home (FTTH) networks and building subscriber loyalty in today's competitive marketplace will be the focus of the 2009 FTTH Conference & Expo, scheduled for September 27 – October 1, 2009 at the Hilton-Americas Houston and the George R, Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX.
The event is expected to attract 2,000 executives from FTTH service providers – including telecoms, cable companies, municipalities and utilities – as well as key decision makers from optical access equipment manufacturers and other segments of the broadband industry.
Under the banner Building the Business of FTTH, the conference will highlight practical information and marketing strategies to help operators take their networks to the next level of business success. The conference will also serve as a one-stop information center on the broadband initiatives program of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. During a number of presentations and panel discussions, the Fiber-to-the-Home Council, which has been instrumental in shaping the stimulus legislation and programs, will shed light on the evolving process and procedures for accessing the funds made available through the programs.
Adelstein to Give Closing Keynote
In addition, Jonathan Adelstein, the recently-nominated Administrator of the U.S. Rural Utilities Service, will update attendees on guidelines for the distribution of funds through the agency's broadband stimulus program at the closing general session on Wednesday, September 30th.
Opening keynote speaker Richard Lynch, Executive Vice President and CTO of Verizon Communications, will discuss how fiber to the home has changed the game for Verizon – broadening the company's product offerings, making it more competitive in the marketplace and creating new opportunities for growth through innovation.
"This conference will be focused on two vitally important areas," said Joe Savage, President of the FTTH Council. "One is the business success that both large and small telephone companies are having in providing enhanced television and Internet services over end-to-end fiber networks. And the other involves the enormous opportunities that the federal broadband stimulus programs are offering for telecom providers to upgrade to FTTH or expand their existing networks."
Among the more than 50 track sessions are presentations covering marketing, financial and technology issues, including a broad range of case studies, best practices and success stories. Special panels will feature industry leaders in discussions of legislative and regulatory issues, MDU considerations and marketing for success. The Expo Hall, featuring more than 160 vendors and suppliers from all corners of the FTTH industry, will provide the latest solutions in fiber to the home services, content and technology. Online registration is now open at www.ftthconference.com.
New to this year's conference will be presentations offered in Spanish covering issues specific to Latin America. The FTTH Council's recently launched Latin America chapter will hold its second meeting during the conference, which is expect to attract increased attendance from South America and other parts of the globe.
Home PNA, a non-profit association of more than 100 technology companies working together to ensure adoption of a phone line networking standard to provide high-speed, affordable home networking, will collocate its Home PNA Summit with the FTTH Conference & Expo. The one-day summit will take place on Thursday, October 1, 2009.
About the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council
The Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council is a non-profit association consisting of companies and organizations that deliver video, Internet and/or voice services over high-bandwidth, next-generation, direct fiber optic connections – as well as those involved in planning and building FTTH networks. The Council works to create a cohesive group to share knowledge and build industry consensus on key issues surrounding fiber to the home.
Communities and organizations interested in exploring FTTH options may find information on the FTTH Council web site at www.ftthcouncil.org. StimulatingBroadband.com

I would like to share my experience this week.
I had to order equipment for Sydney. I am grateful to Daniel who was able to send me a spreadsheet of what he bought for Melbourne with the prices and the vendor he bought it from a month ago. I was thinking this would be simple task of just asking the same vendors for quotes.
When I contacted the vendors, the prices I was quoted was quite different to the spreadsheet - a higher price was quoted for a lot of the items. When I asked about this I was told that it's due to a difference in the currency exchange for some of the items. It was hard work getting similar prices to the spreadsheet...
There was a few items where it was bought at a large company with many stores Australia wide. When I brought the quote to a local branch store of the same company I was told they couldn't do that price and it was well below cost price. The sales person was reluctant to offer any discount.
As I exited the store, I then received the message that I should do soul conferencing which had slipped my mind as I was just focused on getting the task done without considering the spiritual teachings I've learned - "Heal the soul first, then healing of the mind and body will follow". Transform the soul first, then transformation of the mind and body will follow.
I did a quick soul conferencing as I was walking to the next local branch store (same company) less than 5 mins away. I connected with the soul of the store as well as the souls of sales persons I would be interacting with. I asked for a most appropriate quote that can benefit all of us. I expressed how it is an honor to do business with them where they will receive payment from us and the equipment will serve many people with the mission to bring love peace and harmony.
As I walked into the other branch store, I saw people hanging up a sign that they're doing a 10% off for one of the items I want to buy (officially starts the next day). This discount meant I was able to get a price better than the quote from Melbourne for that item and they were very able to match the the other item which was well below cost. This quote was done smoothly.
Since doing soul conferencing, I was able to have the right attitude towards the situation and get better prices for the equipment. There was a sales person who was very helpful in explaining to me the differences between the different cables that I was looking at as well as offering discounts.
The lesson learnt is that there needs to be a yin yang balance in order for things to happen smoothly and successfully. The soul conferencing is the yin aspect and the actual speaking to the vendors and making the purchase is the yang aspect.
Apply yin yang balance in any aspect of your life and notice what changes occur.
Also do soul conferencing and see if this can change the blockages you are experiencing. The power of the soul is limitless.

Kevin McCarthy, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" star, dies
"The sci-fi thriller Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is so embedded in our culture that even if you've never seen the film, this trailer for the 1956 original feels familiar. Kevin McCarthy, who plays the handsome young doctor who understands before anyone else the horror taking over his town, died Saturday of pneumonia in Hyannis,Mass. He was 96.

So very sad to hear that this wonderful man is gone. I had the chance to work with him some years ago-- he was in his mid-80s then but sharp as a tack! He faced something like a 7 to 8 page monologue and in he comes, hits his marks and just nails it. A beautiful, haunting performance--word-perfect, over and over, all afternoon long! They don't make many pros like that anymore.
On top of that, he was just the nicest, warmest, fellow imaginable. Gracious to a fault he signed many, many autographs and shook a lot of hands that day. A tip of the hat to you, Mr. McCarthy... thank you for the memories, the work and for sharing your best with all of us for all of those years. Godspeed.

Russian Hill
There's hardly a neighborhood that compares with Russian Hill, with its mesmerizing views, heart-stopping hairpin turns, and sheer historical grandeur.
Locals enjoy the hillside garden climbs, the exquisite tiny parks, and the classic ice cream parlor found at the corner of Union and Hyde. There is a delicate European flair to many of the boutiques and restaurants found along the lushly green streets of Jackson, Union, and Hyde. Green and Polk Streets offer exceptional international cuisine from French to Italian to Vietnamese, you can't go wrong in this vibrant stretch of city. If shopping is on your list, don't miss the many delightful boutiques dotting Polk Street between Union and Broadway.
There is a tremendous spread of possibilities when it comes to housing in Russian Hill. From turn-of-the-century backyard cottages, to lush million-dollar homes, to hilltop town houses and condos with mind-blowing Bay views - there is something for all sensibilities. The architectural influences in Russian Hill reach back to classic form - from Spanish Colonial, to Mission Revival, to Italianate, and Arts and Crafts, and beyond.
Russian Hill remains a very walkable urban landscape despite its hilly tendency. The Financial District and Civic Center are easily within reach. And if your smart you'll occasionally ride the cable car home, on a monthly pass from SFMUNI.

Hey guys, I'm new to photography (got my NEX about four months ago) and I mostly do portrait, nude and toy photography. Wanting to improve the quality of my work, so I'm buying a 50mm lens (and a Sony a6000 as well), but I'm wondering about which one is better here. I'm quite okay with manual focus (I mostly use manual anyway, since I shot stills), so that isn't a problem, but I'm wondering if anyone did a comparison between both lenses? The Rokinon seems to be awesome with f1.2, but I'm...

So, little info on what I got, what I want to do, and asking which direction I should be going... Since June of 2013, I have a little Sony NEX-F3, which for a newbie photographer like me has done a very good job. It came with it's standard 18-55mm manual zoom lens, and a few pretty crappy third-party wide-angle and telephoto lens adapters in the bundle that I bought (both of which I rarely used). Now, I primarily wanted this camera since it seemed simple to learn on, but flexible enough with...

I currently have a Fuji X-E2 and an NEX-F3 and for birding (casual stuff only) and kids, I find the NEX to be much more proficient. Don't laugh, birds and kids are very similar subjects, they both move quickly and unpredictably! I like to take photos of birds in flight and like to shoot with multi-area focus and continuous autofocus, and the F3 does surprisingly well. In all categories that matter (autofocus speed, shutter lag, and most importantly the ability to focus on a small object in...

I do YouTube tech videos which are generally usually based inside, and I decided that I would upgrade to a new camera. What is the best camera that I can find used or refurbished (somewhere) for $200-$275? Here's a list that I made of cameras that I would be able to get for that much used. These are all either Compact SLRs or Full size DSLRs, because I feel as if Dslr's sort of have more "features" and "Customization" with ebing able to shoot in raw, and interchangeable lenses and what not,...

Hi, I am new to the site, I am trying to get into more photography. I have a Sony NEX f3 camera. So what kind of mic do you guys recommend for this type. What do you think of the vectra mic? plus limited funds so a low price mic.
By: novoice (Jul 9, 2014)
Hello I am seeking some guidance on what should I do to get a proper shot with my Nex-F3 and kit lens (18-55). I am still in the learning stages (Aperture mode) and I took this macro shot. I think I like what I took, however, why is my image so large? This is a crop (image 1) from the original image (image 2). I have seen many macro shots on this website where the original image is not this big (in terms of capturing the side scenery). Is it because I don't have the right lens or is it that I...
By: reelon (Jul 7, 2014)
OK, I am limited to a budget of $400.00 to pickup a new camera. I am a beginner and this camera will be my first dslr. I want to use this camera for general purpose photography (family, vacations, some video, etc.) I can get the nex-f3 for $350.00 with two lenses (18-55 mm and 55-200 mm). The rebel comes with two lenses (18-55 and 75-300) with a price of $400.00. Which is a better all around camera? Thanks
By: cnfunny (Apr 28, 2014)
I will be in Africa for three months and I hope to take a couple of safaris while I'm there. I have a Sony NEX-F3 with a 18-55mm lens. I was looking into a 75-300mm lens however I will need a LA-EA2 lens adapter and I've read that slows down the auto-focus. Should I consider the 55-210mm, will that be enough? Any suggestions? Thank you for your interest...and advice.

I'm something of a hobbyist shooter, currently own a Nikon J1 and Sony NEX-F3, I've also used DSLRs (most recently the Nikon D5100). I've developed a gallery of photos over the years, and currently have 2 PBase galleries. I like them in terms of how they work (ability to customize the look of each page, "nested" subgalleries, can upload multiple JPEGs at once as a .zip file), but I am wondering if I should also be hosting photos elsewhere if I'm seeking more "visibility" as it were, as they...
By: monked (Dec 27, 2013)
I have an NEX-F3 with just two lenses, the 18-55 mm kit lens and a Sony 50mm F1.8. The kit lens is O.K., but I'm interested in replacing it with something a little faster. I'm leaning towards a Sigma 30mm F2.8, but I was wondering if there's a zoom lens out there with a focal length around 24 to 40mm worth looking at. I like the idea of having a bit of room to play with in that range. Any ideas? Thanks

Starting a new flooring project can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing which type of flooring you want. For homeowners looking for carpet, the options seem endless with the different styles, textures, colors, and fibers available. Floor Coverings International Southlake is here to tell you about one style in particular: nylon. Read on to learn more about this popular carpeting choice.
Nylon is a synthetic carpet material that is produced for durable, versatile, and affordable flooring. Nylon carpets are practically customizable with the amount of different styles you can choose from. Generally, the look of nylon carpet will depend on the density of the carpet pile. There are uniform cut varieties for an elegant look as well as textured carpets that are better for busy households. Nylon is very absorbent and readily accepts dye to match any existing décor or desired aesthetic in your home. Keller homes can't go wrong with nylon, and every carpet has the potential to look unique and personal.
Even though it is highly absorbent of dyes, nylon carpet is both moisture and stain resistant. You don't have to worry about your carpet developing mold or mildew, and it is even possible to install nylon carpeting in some outdoor areas! The nylon fibers are exceptionally strong and won't become torn, crushed, or discolored. Some carpets are prone to showing track marks from foot traffic or vacuuming, but nylon won't. We highly recommend this carpet style for busy households or families with children and pets.
Keep in mind, no carpeting is impenetrable and stains can occur if not taken care of quickly. Ensure that you have the correct cleaning products beforehand and don't let spills sit. However, there are precautionary solutions you can take. Speak with us about applying stain treatments and Stainmaster carpets.
Nylon is sturdy and durable but will still be soft underfoot. Consider nylon for spaces that see a lot of activity such as living room or children's rooms. It will stand up to everyday wear and tear but also be comfortable to relax on. The biggest benefit is the amount of styles and colors that nylon comes in. For any room, style, and home, nylon is a great choice.
To look at samples of this versatile, durable, and affordable carpet, call us today! Floor Coverings International Southlake will bring the samples to your Keller home in our mobile showroom. Schedule a consultation today and get $200 off your next flooring project.

The President should solve issues that are not popular or politically correct because the job of the president is to lead the nation. The President was elected by the people to fulfill a duty; therefore the President should work to solve whichever problems need solving most, regardless of if they are politically correct, instead of only focusing on re-election and working on problems that won't upset voters.
The president should not worry about political correctness. So solving these matters is a non-issue. He should focus on the financial health of his country rather than trivial matters of speech and writing. If an issue is popular it will be addressed anyway, but a problem that is not popular might deserve attention as well.
Of course the President should solve such problems. Why else did we vote for him? Or what is the point of having President? To prance around and hold empty speeches and occasionally clash with the Congress over some political nonsense? No, he should be fully involved and devoted to such problems and use his influence and the trust the people have stored in him to make such cuts and steer the State and nation to safe ground.
Yes, the president should solve issues that are not of the highest concern to all of the citizens. A president cannot solve world hunger and the economic problems in a few days or even in a few years. There are a lot of people that need to approve ideas and processes that bills need to go though. In the mean time, why not take care of issues that CAN be solved?

November 9, 2016: Daily Bible Reading Commentary for Psalm 131-133
Click here for the reading
Commentary: We continue with the Psalms of Ascent. Psalm 131 was written by David and speaks of humbling yourself before the Lord. Psalm 132 is all a Messianic psalm and looks forward to the return of the Lord. Psalm 133, also written by David, describe the joy of celebrating the Lord with others.
Focus Verse: 133:1 Why are we to worship together? Based on your experience what happens when you worship with others instead of worshipping alone?

This is a mid 1950's Gibson 160 E guitar frequently referred to as the "John Lennon" guitar due to John Paul having a matched set. This one had suffered significant water damage, possibly flood damage. The bridge was pulling off, the top heavily warped beyond playability, the pick guard coming off, but with the top beneath it, even more deeply warped that the rest of the top. There was a major gouge across the top through the spruce veneer into the 2nd layer of laminate. Serious water damage to the back finish was causing large flakes to come loose. Upon inspection, it became clear that the original spruce bridge plate was deeply warped and split, adding to the extreme bellying of the top. Most of the top braces were lose and several the bottom ones as well. This guitar was a hot mess!
I removed the original adjustable bridge and all it's hardware (no small task since some of the screws were rusted and the inserts were loose in their holes). Once the bridge was removed, I was able to remove the damaged bridge plate and create one slightly larger out of Maple rather than the original spruce. I also patched the large holes for the brass inserts. Several of the top braces (ladder braced) were so loose that 2 of them fell out completely. With the loose braces out of the way, I was able to gently clamp the top back and slowly remove the extensive warp and belling. This was largely the result the bridge plate failure and the loose braces although the plywood top was broken across the line of holes drilled for the bridge pins and bridge screws.
Once I had addressed the most serious part of the top warpage, I began to re-glue the braces starting from the farthest from the bridge and moving forward. Before re-gluing the braces nearest the bridge and sound hole, I removed the original pick guard, and clamped that section of the top to reduce it's extreme warp. When this was completed, I then re-glued the braces in that area before re-installing the pick guard.
Once all the braces were in place, I began to consider the bridge issue. My original suggestion had been to replace the adjustable bridge with a non- adjustable replacement and I purchased one for that purpose, but with the restoration progressing as well as it was, the owner asked that I re-use the original adjusting bridge for collectibility reasons. This would have been a simple process, but in the course of re-installing the brass inserts and adjusting screws, one broke off inside the insert. I was able to remove it and spent a significant amount of time looking for an original replacement, but was not able to locate one. The early adjustable Gibson bridges had larger screw heads the later versions. I was able to locate a replacement set from a later version Gibson adjustable bridge that matched the screw thread and proceeded using those (the original set is with the guitar).
Having dealt with that issue, I turned my attention to the large gouge on the face of the guitar. This was too deep to deal with by drop filling the damage. I ultimately inlaid new spruce into the gouge, then did a nitrocellulose finish touch up with multiple flash coats, buffing the finished area out by hand.
While all this was taking place, I cleaned and polished the frets and fingerboard, stabilized the significant finish damage on the back, and touched up the damaged black lacquer on the guitar head.
Once the finish work was done, I re-installed the adjustable bridge, put on a new set of Phosphor Bronze light gauge strings and adjusted the saddle height.
The guitar plays very well with a clear bright tone and more "ring" than I would have expected for a ladder braced, plywood top. I suspect that the tone will open up dramatically as it is played more.

Top 10 Worst Dictators In HistoryOzzyVanHalen

2500 unarmed protesters killed in 45 minutes last night may 5th 2013 3am
Building collapsed killed many people and she refused to take help from foreign countries.
Rejected Lied to CNN that she allowed their journalist to cover the building collapse story where as she didn't allow actually. Many civilian are being killed by her supporters and police under direct order to fire upon the unarmed protesters who did a rally to show their feelings and point the fault of the present government.
Holding the power like her father. Doing same as He did. Banned the basic rights of expressing opinions. Even when civil society's spokesman who ever he/she is (Scholar, National Prof, Writer of Constitution) speaks against her autocracy she names them as Mad! Only because of her now thousands of people are dying. She started the chaos by amending the constitution. She just wants to grab and hold the ruler-ship. Only because of her our economy is now destroying. She and her followers now holding every top positions illegally. She already recruited her party men everywhere in the governmental offices. Election Commissions, Police Department, Army everywhere. And now doing mass killing by them. Everyday innocents are dying.
Why you amended the fully ok constitution and now showing the constitution you edited and telling everyone that you are following constitution! What do you think we people are mad? We don't need a ferocious ruler like you nor dull brained Khalida Zia. What we ...more
Sheikh Hasina is the worst prime minister in the History of Bangladesh. She is a Judicial Killer. She is using judicial system of Bangladesh to prevent th e raise of his opposition. Freedom of choice. Freedom of voice, Freedom of vote is plundered in his hand. No one is secured in country now.
She is a best killer in the world. - arianmahi69V 2214 Comments
Hitler was a terrible man, no doubt about it. He managed to even turn the most peaceful people in the world into radical haters, just through his speeches. He based all his Hatred on one group of more are less innocent people for no apparent reason. And he destroyed Germany's reputation for a very long time. 70 years later and most still view us as Nazi's all thanks to him. Without a doubt the worst dictator in History.
I know what you mean people in Ireland still say never trust a German as they are a good for nothing Nazi 8(
His idea to end the hatred of Jews was to kill them! THAT'S NOT GOOD!
He killed millions of innocent people just because he didn't like them as a race. Everything he did was based on race.
Hitler is responsible for killing way more people then Stalin if you look at it through the context of him being the primary antagonist of WW2. He killed over 26.6 million in Russia alone and the holocaust took the lives of 17 million, (6 million of which were Jews). While Stalin killed many of his own people and is by no means a saint, he did that over the course of 28 years and his highest estimates carry out to about 20 million. Hitler was only in power for 12 years and was only actively conducting the holocaust for about half of that.V 273 Comments
Lets see, he sacrificed 27 million of his people during world war 2, and 75 million people in total. Hitler only killed about 15 million people so whoever voted for Hitler doesn't know what they are talking about.
People will say that Hitler was most brutal because of the holocaust of Jews but anyone in the Soviet Union who showed devotion to any religion was brutally murdered and their families were often also additionally killed to show the seriousness of the regime
Joseph Stalin killed Jews as well as Hitler.
Why is franco not on the list
True he did kill Jews just like Hitler but for different reasons it was just because the Soviets hated all religion in general but despite any reason killing anyone is bad. - countnightdark13
Despite what is commonly discussed, Stalin was worse than Hitler, Stalin having killed more people for not believing in his Communist cause as well as having a similar hatred to Jews, He lead a country more fearful than the Third Reich wasV 197 Comments
I'm a numbers guy. He killed more people than anyone else.
Mao Zedong has caused the most deaths of any dictator. If starving your country is good then Mao Zedong is the best leader there is.
I've heard up to 70 million deaths
He was the one of the worst dictatorsV 115 Comments
Kim Jong Il is by far worse than Hitler would ever be. At least Hitler and Stalin had the decency to fee very small portions of food to prisoners or execute prisoners by a quick shooting or gas chamber. Kim Jong Il basically starved his people and if they were too weak to work, he would either torture them by drowning, dissection and if lucky, shot or in a gas chamber. The concentration camps are very hidden and only FORMER guards can tell the tale. When you arrive at the camp, there are deformities, amputees, newborn babies injected with a liquid that causes major swelling, babies buried alive or faced down to suffocate. Also the already weak people were dissected alive in underground labs. These are by far the most inhumane and painful ways anybody can torture someone since medieval times, I believe. He also spent millions and millions of money that South Korea gave to him to help aide others, he basically spent it all on military. Over 20 million people were kill and died a slow ...more
He kills people for almost every crime possible he has families put in labour camps for life and keep children their and has entyre families killed in gas chambers with sciencetists taken notes prime minster David Cameron and president Obama should send in the troops and assassinate him and his son next inline for leader
Crazy mad bastard. He constantly tortures and kills and starves his own people and 99% of his population lives in concentration camps or collectivized farms (which are actually not that different). And yet, his people worship him as a god. They believe he was born under a double rainbow as the birds sang in Korean, that he invented the hamburger, that he invented golf, invented football, saved Pyongyang from an evil capitalist Godzilla ripoff (as seen in the North Korea version of Godzilla) and planted the first human astronaut on the sun. I don't know who is crazier, Kim Jong il or his people.
He killed the most poeple, more than Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler.
(45 Million +)
Does anyone have any freaking clue what he did? He killed anyone who dare did anything to slightly offend him. He had two men's hats nailed into their head because they didn't take them off in his palace. He killed people in the most painful ways possible. Mostly by impaling a stake through the bottom of their bodies all the way to their mouths. Then, he would "decorate" with them by placing them around his house and the city to scare away enimies. At the beginning of his power, he placed a gold cup in the middle of his land. Until his death, nobody ever stole it because they were so afraid of him. It was terrible. Read more if you want, just google him. There's quite a few great articles.
He killed more people than Hitler, and more painfully too. He would boil children and make their parents eat them
What these people are saying about this guy scares the living hell out of me! Holy God! Impaling people up to their mouths?!
There is a reason people thought he was a vampire. He would drink the blood of those who he impaled.V 52 Comments
He is a killer. He killed all the baby boys that he could, just because he couldn't find 1 baby. He thought the baby was going to take his crown from him. That doesn't give him the right to kill.
He tried to kill Jesus. Enough said.
It looks like a lot of you didn't do research. According to the Bible he was a murderer who tried to kill Jesus. However, this is mere fiction, only the Bible mentions the Massacre of the Innocents, there is no other source to prove that this event truly happened. Herod the Great didn't earn his epithet for nothing, according to other sources he was a powerful monarch who increased the territory of the Roman Empire (at that time Judea was under the control of the Empire), greatly expanded the Temple of Jerusalem and constructed the port Caesarea. He wasn't a nice person, but he also certainly wasn't an evil dictator.
Was he just a dictator in the Bible? Something no one knows who wrote it, no one actually knows if its true - except for the far-fetched stories (Noah's ark, Jonah and the Whale)V 20 Comments
Pol Pot, in my opinion, should be the top of the list. While Hitler and Stalin destroyed more lives, Pol Pot was just plain idiotic. At least Hitler and Stalin both contributed something important to their countries. Pol Pot, on the other hand, almost threw his own country, Cambodia, back to the stone ages.
It is too bad that I do not believe in Hell, as Pol Pot should absolutely be there for eternity. The American people still don't seem to realize the extent of the genocide this bastard committed against his own people, those of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma... Jane Fonda was an idiot; she should apologize to the people of southeast Asia, and particularly Vietnam.
He was a complete and utter bastard in my opinion, who killed people for the sake of bringing Cambodia back to the Stone Age, and who is currently awaiting trial!
Killed a larger proportion of his subjects per year than anyone else, by far. Stalin, Mao, and Hitler killed more, but Pol Pot killed more of the people that he could reach.V 28 Comments
When I see photos of this man with his family and I read about his educational upbringing, I am astonished. How could a man with so much privilege and opportunity also have a reputation of being one of the world's worst dictators - in HISTORY! I mean think about it... When I look back on my life I want to be rememebered for the good I have done. For my ability to bring the human race together as one... Or at least try. Leaders such as Lincoln, Roosevelt, even Queen Elizabeth I. These are the types of leaders I look upon fondly. And though each are fallible, I also believe they worked with a good heart. Do I believe we should ever have war - no. To be that act is as uncivilized and animalistic as two Rams banging heads along a Rocky Mountain cliff. However, I find it down right insulting to "God" - or whatever higher power exsists, to think "He" would approve of anyone kiling what "He" has created. And I write this with a very agnostic viewpoint. But, if there is a creator (and I'm ...more
A very cold-hearted tyrant who allowed his own country to plunge into civil war, creating a multifaceted struggle between a multitude of different groups. His regime has killed tens of thousands to retain power, and in the most brutal means possible. The paramilitary groups loyal to Assad - known as the Shabiha - have deliberately targeted children as young as 2 years old to terrorize anyone who dares oppose his rule.
It is true that al-Qaeda has hijacked a good chunk of the revolution. But in condemning the Jihadist atrocities, we cannot also lose sight of the Assad regime's depravity.
He is responsible for the death of 30,000+ syrians so far! His troops have committed slaughters, rapes, mass burials, and many other extremely foul actions, and not just settling for the already terrible Death!

He exterminated his people, committed ethnic and sectarian genocide, he is first to use chemical WMD on his own Kurdish citizens, engaged his country in 3 destructive wars, invaded 2 neighboring countries and caused destruction of an entire country Kuwait, caused a n environmental disaster by actually drying up entire river tributaries, and caused his people to suffer from a long UN embargo that almost destroyed an entire generation of Iraqis
This guy should be at number one he is that bad. He wins the election every time because he rigs it compared to better dictators who actually do the election fairly

Oh, I've herd of this guy. In addition to committing a mass genocide in his home country of Uganda (that's in Africa. I say this because I know people who thought that London was the capital of France and I want to be safe), but he was also a cannibal and declared himself emperor of all the Ugandans on the grounds that he has single handedly defeated the tyrannical British empire. I honestly don't know why they let monsters like these come to power instead of throwing them into the loony bin.
Big shame for East Africa nations hope he was the first and last dictator of all times

Started the disaster that is North Korea. Now in it's third generation, only an internal coup, which is unlikely due to the terror and mistrust of those in key positions, or an external "takedown" will solve the problem. In my opinion, the civilized nations of the world owe it to the people of North Korea to remove the government and reunite it with the South, China's wishes be damned!

He just killed 3000 peaceful protestors he is simply the worst and should be in the top of the list
He is the worst man ever to rule egypt
He is kind of idiotic figure compared to other dictatorsV 16 Comments
He was a sick and cruel man because when he was a kid his whole family was killed by the empire of Rome ( his uncle) and then his uncle took him to an island where he had lost it. Then after his uncle got sick he asked the guard to let him kill the emperor and he said yes so Caligula choked him while during a conversation. Then he became emperor and everybody loved him so they gave him the whole world of Rome to rule as he wishes.
Where's Nero? He was worse than Caligula because he killed Peter and Paul. What a jerk.
Among dictators there are those who believe the end justify the means, others lack any justification other than self gratification, then there are those who are simply insane and act without rhyme or reason. Caligula was of the latter category and Rome suffered immensely for it.
Just like Pol Pot, he didn't even do anything to benefit the Roman Empire. He just had orgies on his banquet table, placed a horse into a very high congressional position, and regularly executed people for no reason. Granted, it's not like he had to... he was the leader of the most powerful empire in the world at that point.V 15 Comments
Yes he was evil
He needed a V8 after his first year of presidency
He should be listed among top 10 Dictator
Before you post something like this you got to possess some elementary knowledge of History. First of all, going to every Wikipedia will show you that this guy killed 700.000 people only in one concentration camp - 'Jasenovac' according to official Yugoslav statistics after the war. Second, his murders were not turned against 'Bosnians'. There is no nation as Bosnians. Bosnia is the territory populated by Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. Ante Pavelic was a Croat who recruited both Croats and Muslims to exterminate the Serbs. So had his country lasted more, he wouldn't have turned against the Turks as you suggested (or against Japanese and Mexican) but completely exterminated the Serbian population which was his constitutional goal. Lets not forget to say that with the help of the US modern Croatian country has managed to complete the process of ethnic cleansing of the Serbs that Pavelic successfully started. And third and the last, over 90% of his victims were the Serbs. His motto ...more
The last post is the most accurate. Per capita Ante Pavelic and the Croatian Ustase Neo-Facists should be rated #1! Out of a population of 2 million they butchered and murdered 700,000-1 million mostly Serbians along with Jews and Gypsies. Almost half the Serbian population there! The population (men, women, children, elderly) was systematically massacred in the most brutal ways imaginable. Go to Croatia and mention Serbs and see the hate for yourself. Hell, just ask any Croat in the world and see their denial.
He was just horrible. This guy tried to murder so many people that the UN at one point concluded him to be more dangerous than Hitler. He killed so many Bosnians and Gypsies that he almost wiped out an entire CONTINENT.P. S if he had lived longer and had kept more authority, Turkey and the entire Middle East would be completely gone now

The reason Italy is a coward on Hetalia. Then again, at least Italy was a better person than Mussolini! - ModernSpongeBobSucks
I think this is what happened (in metaphor). You can be as good as you can, and doing your best for your country is all it takes to grow your nation and make it proud. However, trying to follow or be someone else, especially if it's something you don't like, will overextend your limits and can have conflicts for you and others.
Adolf Hitler admired Mussolini's Fascist Party so much that he took it a step further and created his version of Fascism. Mussolini knew he was weak at the time, so he allied in order to stay safe; but this caused hate from the citizens of Italy due to losing battles, execution, and harsh laws.
The Worst, never been a courageous dude, followed by all nasty Italians. Big shame for them, but by opposition of German they are still proud of Mussolini (Il Duce). Real pity for not recognizing him as a dictator.
The worst Italian dictator ever!V 3 Comments
"Sometime CHANGE is not good". Take a look at Libya current situation; this change leads to civil war in this country which cause hunger, social unrest, criminal, and refugee in this country. Suppose Muammar Al-Gaddafi still lead this country under his dictator, I think the situation would much better than democracy which the protester need.
Gaddaffi has been dictator for 42 years and in those years he killed his own people who were protesting peacefully
He was the worst modern day dictator in Africa
Well the Civil war happened so now we don't have to worry about the Libyan insanity again. Oh and Gaddafi is now dead as well.V 8 Comments
He played a bloody role in the Bangladesh war, back then East Pakistan, in 1971. As Pakistani commander-in-chief, in March 1971 he gave the Pakistan army green light to rampage through East Pakistan with impunity just because the Bangladeshis wanted to be free from the rule of West Pakistan which badly neglected East Pakistan as was seen in the clumsy handling of the aftermath situation of notorious 1970 cyclone Bhola. Yahya Khan infamously said: "Kill three million of them [Bangladeshis], and the rest will eat out of our hands."
Anyway, 9 months and about a million deaths later, Bangladesh got its freedom anyway in December 1971.
The 1970s was really a extraordinarily brutal decade back then. Same decade, Pol Pot ravaged Cambodia, Pinochet had an iron fist on Chile, the Red Terror in Ethiopia began, ongoing Vietnam war, East Timor was invaded, the civil war in Lebanon had its first days in the 1970s and so on.
He cheated his own people and his family.
I am so lucky
He was a honest m
This kills white people purely because he doesn't like them and he has crippled his own country, absolutely vile pathetic excuse for a human being
He is surrounded by his bootleekers who are ready to kill. Anyone who opposes him becomes an enemy of the state. He is indeed cruel, lies about the west, while he is the worst ever man God allowed to lead people. Dictator and killer, today he has no clue to where the nation should go. Please God help us on this one.
I no like him, he destroy democracy in Zimbabwe, our cricket team has never recover
Bitch! He kills white people for no reason that's insane!V 6 Comments
His first act of power was to throw a rebellious nobleman to his hunting dogs. Things only became worse from that point.
Ivan the Terrible was known for, amongst other "accomplishments, " tortuously murdering the inhabitants of the city of Novgorod on the basis of a rumor that they were planning to defect to Sweden. Men, women, and children were impaled, hacked to death with axes or boiled alive in gigantic pots. He personally partook in brutal tortures of suspected enemies, and beat his own son to death in a fit of rage. Possibly one of the worst people who has ever lived. Brutal, sadistic, and cruel, he richly deserves the name Ivan the Terrible.
Even though he wasn't really a dictator. He was a monarch. None the less, he was as bad as Stalin. - Robobrain
He was better known as Ivan the Terrible. After the Kremlin was built, he executed its builders so they couldn't make anything more impressive. I don't know which this is more of: stupid, or sadistic.
Deserves higher on this list read a history book for once - lorenzotobin
He was the greatest killer in Bangladesh after 1971(Freedom fight). He killed about 45000 people by his Protective Force. Then he established Absolutism.

Really. Why is he so low. He is a lot worse that his father was. And just look at some of the people ahead of him. He should be top 10.
This man is dumb. A liar and came out of a liar. He sends out nuclear missiles. Also his intelligence level is as high as a dead elephant

You should correct the name: Francisco, not Fransisco. And it could be remarkable to point at the fact that he was one of the dictators who most seized the power: 40 years between 1936 and 1975. He represented the complete triumph of fascism, shamelessly welcomed by USA as a ally against the communism in Cold War era, and he destroyed forever the brilliant and liberal Spain that was abandoning its gloomy past. His awful and selfish inheritance, as the big defender of most reactionary layers of society, is present at today's Spain, with its corruption and poverty.
Mass murderer who is still buried as a hero, while his countless victims still lay unidentified in mass graves.
Totalitarian mass murderer and nitwit economist who overthrew a democratic government to install a catholic fundamentalst regime bent on historical revisionism.

This man was the person who was the real dictator in Japan not Hirohito he was simply a puppet to Tojo he mass murdered almost as much people as Hitler did in even worse ways. He was hanged after the war and should've been in the top 15 on this list! He was completely evil
His last name rhymes with Sugou from Sword Art Online. I hate both of these guys! Tojo was the real mastermind behind Japan's role in World War II! - ModernSpongeBobSucks
He is responsible for 33,270,000 deaths, committed in the most gruesome ways. He invaded China in 1931 and killed 21,750,000 Chinese by either beheading, disemboweling or stabbing them, even if they surrendered. His soldiers raped 20,000 women in Nanjing alone. His invasion of Southeast Asia killed another 8,600,000 people. During these invasions, 1,620,000 of his soldiers died. He forced millions of Koreans into slave labor. 800,000 Koreans died under those circumstances. He also instigated a secret unit called Unit 731, which was responsible for human experimentation which was dedicated to the determination of the most effective ways to kill people. They tested flamethrowers and anthrax and did live dissections of people. During these experiments, approximately 500,000 people died. Even though he wasn't the Emperor, he was the one who had the idea of Japan conquering Asia. Hirohito just didn't care enough to stop him and therefore allowed him to commit those crimes, which make him ...more

This guy made communism, which led to stalin, Mao Zedong, and the cold war. If he never existed, the world would be extremely peaceful, just think about a communism free world! That is why this guy is the worst dictator of all times, or as I call him, the creation of all other dictators
Despite not killing as many as Hitler or Stalin Vladimir Lenin was a manipulative psychopath who even hated his own followers, denouncing them as "useful idiots" who followed him because they wanted to be free of tsarist Russia. It is amazing this man still has so many followers today
He was shown as hero in the social textbook of tenth class in India. Now I understood his worst ness. thanks

He was the worst dictator in east Africa. He killed his own president, his name is Hail Silas and took over his place. People started to suffer in east Africa because of him

He disowned his dead soldiers and left their bodies behind during Kargil war!
He dragged Pakistan in war
A coward leader who did not fear of Allah but feared from Ameica and caused destruction to Afghanistan and Pakistan
Yes he did kargill mischief and put his country in shaimy condition. Pakistan lost kargil & thosends of soldiers.
He declared Martial Law which caused the demise of the whole Philippines. The government was a puppet, so was the staff and officials. For a lot of years, many Filipinos died because of him, shooting those who oppose him in front of the crowd and international media.
Because of him, it will take the Philippines till the mid 2020s to pay off the debt, he accumulated for the country from 1965 till 1986.
Marcos, hitler, dictador, tuta!
Tortures his army/police used were
- rape
- putting sticks of wood up men's genatalia
- killing mutalating cooking then eating a victim's remains in front of their friends and family
Though thought out to be a good guy he was almost the complete opposite. Even though he didn't kill 75 million he still deserves to be on this list. Since he was a Nationalist leader, Americans look at him as a good guy only because we were trying to stop communism. One reason was because this leader was a leading factor in the Korean War. But back to Chiang, when we sent him millions upon billions of dollars he first embezzled some for his own keep and gave the rest to him army (which might be one reason for retreating to Taiwan).
Killed lots of people in Taiwan
He is the same as Mao Zedong, he killed 30, 000 Taiwanese. Mao Zedong killed more just because China had more population.
I disagree. He was a born-again Christian. He wanted to rid China of the psychological diseases of godless Marxist-LeninismV 1 Comment
Despite all the good things he did to make Romania unique in front of the world and improve relations with Werstern Europe, he's still responsible for the torturing of many people who opposed him, destroyed many villages and the respective way of life. And whats even worse is that he was completely oblivious to what the reign did wrong, all thanks to his wife Elena, who was an even bigger monster than him(and responsible for many opressions and torturing people from many social categories, propaganda and personality cult, those last 2 done along with her husband). Those two formed a double-headed tyranny. Plus they both got executed on Christmas which shocked the West.
Also he even tricked the world leaders into believing that Romania would make a better relation with the West rather than with URSS. In short he is a Machiavellic genius, strong and dignified but at the same time has a very strong lack of realism, living in a illusion, and later, paranoid. He even destroyed National ...more - AnulDomnului
I think he is the only dictator in history who had the honor to meet important world leaders like Queen Elizabeth, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin (he was called by other Romanians "Idi Aminescu" as an insult), Fidel Castro (possibly), Mao Zedong, Kim Jong Il, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, the Sheik of Iran (who got dethroned) & many others.
He was initially a communist with liberal views, who went against Russia's rules and became popular in the west for defending Czechoslovakia from the Russian invasion. But after he and his wife went to China and North Korea.
His wife Elena was a greater tyrant than him and an idiotic ruler (she considered people to be rats who needed extermination). Not to mention she was the biggest hoax in the history of science (since she was illiterate with mediocre results of 5,6 & 4). They tortured people who opposed him and which were considered clinically insane when in reality they were not. They hungered the population, destroyed villages, cosmopolitan ...more
He might have done some good things for romania but he also led his population to misery

He is in a long line of burmese greed. I know this personally because my family was affected by him and the other generals. The government raises money just so the generals can live large while their people starve and die. He commited genocide against the tribes as he wanted one race in Burma.
The worst ever in the history, no brain no kind, just a kind of henpecked leader and just only know stolen and killed people by arm.
He started to gain the despotic political power since 1991. He commits many different typologies of crime.
The meanest ever dictator whose famiily grabs everything they like anywhere. One of the brutal murder-robbery was conducted by them to get a set of priceless diamond Jewellery. The more you learn, the worse you hear about their mischieves.V 1 Comment
Just because he wasn't killing people in his own country doesn't excuse his actions in his colonies. Unlike many on this list he was from a so called first world nation, but that didn't stop him from having the hands and feet of little children cut off to make their parent work harder in rubber plantations. Congo has never recovered from his actions.
Disgusting Human Being. I mean at least some of the people on this list had reasons, however ridiculous, for killing. Leopold did it at random, and for no reason whatsoever

Two face trader! Live free or die viva villa!
This one is dependent on your opinion. Bonaparte helped his country out a ton, but to this day, some British still poke fun at France for being stupid enough to let Napoleon rise to power twice. He was certainly not bad for his own people, but his armies devastated the western coast of Europe, and cut a sizable portion from Italy before being reduced back to France in 1814.
Greatest emperors the world has ever seen, highly decorated personality, very great speaker
Greatest monarch in the history of France. There is no reason for him to be so high up the list for worst dictators.
Small prick

One of the triumvirate of the Ottoman Empire who was responsible for the Armenian Genocide.
Robespierre invented terrorism. What a delightful gift to the world.
Robespierre was the man, who lid the ground work for monsters like Lenin to promise utopia and to protect it, killed anyone in his way. Even though this revolution promised freedom. it was only for those who agreed the rest off to the guiltoine. Which makes it truly just that he suffered the same fate.

'Avengers' Parody Trailer Mocks the Superhero Hit (Video)
Here's a very different look at The Avengers, one which paints Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. as being more interested in the latest bluetooth than kickin' butt, and that insinuates members of the world's greatest superhero team are really just Marvel's second stringers.
Honest Trailers — whose narrator is known for skewering movies with his voiceovers — has set its sites on the The Avengers the same week its Blu-ray hits store shelves.
VIDEO: 'Hunger Games' Parody Trailer Goes Viral
Among the trailer's zingers:
- The film stars Iron Man (everyone's favorite secondary Marvel character), Captain America (no one's favorite character) and the Incredible Hulk (who inexplicably has a handle on his anger management issues all of a sudden).
- The Avengers united Marvel's greatest heroes (err — minus Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four).
- The film's success put all of DC Comics on suicide watch.

The trailer also questions how exciting it really is to see Iron Man fixing S.H.I.E.L.D's Helicarrier for 20 minutes, and mocks Loki's plans throughout.
Watch the video below.
