Titanium stapes protheses in otosclerosis surgeryStan Cotulbea, Alin H. Marin, Eugen H. Stefanescu, Nicolae Balica & Stelian Lupescu
Introduction: The main techniques used today in stapes surgery are: stapedectomy (under 10%), partial posterior stapedectomy (small fenestra technique) and stapedotomy (more than 90%). The advantages of stapedotomy are: less trauma to the inner ear and a better stability of the prosthesis.[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Billie-Jean King's name is everywhere at the moment after the film release of 'Battle of the Sexes'.
Billie-Jean was my idol. As a junior, I modelled my whole game on hers. In fact, I still think of her when I serve. Hers was a loose and languid action.
She attacked, she screamed when she missed a volley, slamming her racket on the net cord followed by a roar of frustration. The British public were shocked at the aggression but she didn't seem to care.
I had a couple of coaching sessions with her when I was about 13.
She told my parents "she has a nice game". I nearly fainted.
Our paths crossed a number of times after that. Every time she saw me she'd say 'how are ya doing? how's ya game?' in her American drawl. I began to think I had a double. Surely she didn't really recognise me. But it was great kudos – my schoolmates would say 'does she know you?' 'Oh yes, we go back a long way, Billie Jean and I'.

Novak Djokovic's call for more money is right one if it goes to lower-ranked players

OPINION: So, Novak Djokovic called a meeting of players to discuss, well we're not really sure what exactly … there have been rumours of boycotts, breakaway unions and demands for more prize money.
"We know that homosexuality is a lust of the flesh … they too know this, this is why they want marriage, because it's self-satisfying…my belief is marriage the bible way."

Has there ever been a good film about tennis?
John McEnroe thinks not.
The trouble with films about tennis is that most actors just can't play the game.
"Players" and "Wimbledon" were both murdered by hopeless attempts to look like proper players. McEnroe had a walk-on part in "Players" and regretted it, saying that tennis films were always terrible. Read More

Halle (The Gerry Weber Open) Tournament, Katrina Allen
Have you been lucky enough to see the sublime Roger Federer play live? This time last year, I hadn't, and was pretty desperate to do so before he retired.
And then I came across William Skidelsky's book 'Federer and Me, a Story of an Obsession'. It's a brilliant read, both funny and informative but, best of all, in his chapter about the German tournament in Halle, he revealed how I might realise my dream. For this is where Federer plays his Wimbledon warm-up and where he has a lifetime contract (so there's no chance of seeing him at the rival tournament at Queen's). And, unlike Queen's, there's a sliding roof so play is guaranteed in the main stadium where they naturally schedule all his matches. Read More

'Traveleyes' is an intriguing travel concept geared towards both blind and sighted travellers.

These tours tend to attract solo travellers, a lot of whom are single or who simply decide to leave their partners at home! The sighted people also get a considerable discount on the trips.

Yet another newbie - I'm the last one, I promise!
I'm a pretty good amateur photographer. For years I used a Canon AT-1 and loved it. Then it broke and can't be fixed (they don't stock parts.) I have tried for a number of years to get it fixed or replace via Ebay, but just haven't been able to do it. In the meantime, I have been using the throw-away cameras - cringe - and I simply cannot bring myself to shoot another roll of photos on one of those.
Now I'm going digital. From spending some time on this site and on dpreview, I am getting schooled in this subject a teeny bit.
Here are my requirements and wishes:
Must have a hot shoe. I cannot tolerate red eye and have found red eye reduction is worthless. Also worthless is fixing the red eye in edit as then my photos don't show the true color of the person's eyes. I do a fair amount of close-ups and my kids have different shades of blue and green eyes. I also hate it when the dog's eyes aren't the right color.
I shoot mainly family photos, which run the gamut - vacations, holidays, indoor, outdoor, kids' sports, snow pictures, you name it.
I need a camera that focuses well in low light. It's only twice a year but I take 4th of July photos and Halloween photos, not to mention all those low light indoor pix. This focus in low light feature is a must for me.
I'm used to focusing with the split image viewfinder. Are there any digi cams that do this? (Why do I doubt it.)
Oh, yes, need a camera that will do automatic everything and manual everything. (Not that I don't trust those auto cameras but I like to be in control.)
I had an Olympus fully auto P&S once and it did great with landscapes and far away photos, buildings, etc. Did very lousy with people photos and close-ups. I really only used it when I was going skiing or something and wanted it in my pocket. Altho I did usually just ski with my Canon on me with a cuban hitch. I don't care at all about size in this new digi cam. I'll just buy a bigger purse. <g>
I like to get close in but when I can't, I'm wanting an optical zoom. Ideally in the 150 range.
I kinda like those camera with the twisty screens (rotating lcd's?), but I'm not married to that. But I'm always behind people taller than me and when holding the camera up to shoot, it would be real handy. I do need the lcd to be well lit as I have that over 40 eyesight thing going on and I don't see well in low light at all.
We're getting the family a digi video cam for Xmas this year (which will be a whole nuther search), but I'm intrigued with the movie modes on the digi cams. If it came down to a choice between two cameras and one had a good long movie mode with sound and the other didn't, I'd go for the one with. But my main concern is obviously the features for the still photos.
What else - good battery life.
Price range - $500 - $800.
So, I'm mostly a family picture taker but when I had the Canon, I did take a lot of nature photos, macros and such. It seems there's really not a camera that 'does it all,' even in the $$$ pro range. And I'm not able to go there price-wise at this time anyway.
And you want to know what size I'll print in. 90% will be 4 x 6. If I want to frame a photo, I always go 5x7. I occasionaly will do an 8x10, esp if it's for a gift.
Will there be a camera that will make me happy for most everything? Since I've been using those silly throw-aways for so long, just about anything will knock my socks off, I'm sure.
Having never used one, but having read a bit about them, I'm thinking I will almost always shoot in 'best quality' mode and will also delete like crazy as I shoot. I don't mind getting one of those drives you save photos to in order to free up your card, esp for vacation time.
I've looked at the Canon G3 and G5, the Nikon Coolpix cameras, a couple Olympus, Pentax Optio 555, 550, Minolta, the new Panasonic coming out, ditto Sony. I understand there are a couple new cameras coming out in the next month or so. Is it worth my while to wait for them (there will always be new technology coming out), or should I jump in and buy now? My husband is getting it for me for my birthday, which is next week, but I can be a little patient.

Hi Gwen__
A refurbished E10 or E20 could meet your needs admirably.
Go here and see what they have!
None there right now...

Do you think I'm not going to be able to find a camera to meet my needs in the prosumer/recreational range? I honestly think a digital slr is beyond me at this time.
Also, it's my understanding the these cameras don't have great low light focusing.
I hadn't thought of buying a used camera. Have people generally had good luck with that? I know my husband would be hesitant. He'd do it if I told him it was the camera I wanted, but I'm also reluctant to buy a used camera unless it's the only way I can get what I want.

I can recommend the Oly C5050, 3X opctical zoom, excellent low light camera, with great optics. You can run auto or manual. Low light assist lamp. The cost of the camera will run $500 on the internet. Moveable lcd and can use CF, SM, XD or microdrive for media.
You can also look at the Nikon 5700, 8X optical, no low light assist lamp, 270 degree moveable lcd panel. Cost at www.buydig.com is $737, with 256mb CF card

How is the focus in low light conditions? Also, how about the focus in the manual mode?
As far as your comments about being far from a photographer, I don't know as I'd agree. Almost anyone who bothers to hang around this site must be a photography enthusiast and have picked up some skills along the way. That's all I am. All I meant when I said I was a pretty good amateur photographer is that I'm beyond the P&S leave-it-in-automatic-all-the-time level. I took some photography in college and did darkroom work (not for me, I prefer the camera to the darkroom) and at one time had a good understanding of shutter speeds, f stops, and the like. Switching over to digital, I'm starting over! I'm looking forward to it.

P.S. to Slickshooter - I definitely like that ultra zoom lens. I was thinking I'd have to forgo the nice zoom for other features that are more important at the moment. But I was wondering, does the C750 have that stabilization feature that adjusts for shaky hands on a long zoom? I forget what it's called.

Gibson, I don't know too much about the C5050, so I'll have to go do some research on that one. I did look at the Nikon both online and in a store and had pretty much discounted it due to the low light focus thing. Maybe I'm being too hard on that feature. For all I know, they mean near darkness and not what I'm thinking at all. It also seems pricey to me compared to the Canon G5 and others, but I guess you're paying for that 280 zoom lens.
Another con for the Nikon is that they say it has a limited number of aperture and shutter settings in manual mode. Maybe I won't shoot in manual much once I get an auto camera; I don't know. At the moment, manual is all I know.
Thanks for the recommendations; I'll check out that C5050.

IS ( image stabilization ) is not a feature on the C-750 but I highly recommend this camera anyways......either use a tripod,lean on something sturdy or maybe just use the zoom halfway.....how will you feel if you buy a 3x optical zoom camera and miss out on tons of great shots because you can't "see" your subject.......none of the pictures I have posted were taken with a tripod except the night shots and as you can tell many of the 80 or so I have posted were taken using the 10x zoom to its fullest and the are clear

I would define low light as near total darkness. The problem is that the camera can not focus on the subject matter. Olympus added the focus assist lamp to help the camera focus in these lighting conditions. If your needing a camera to focus in a room with normal light then 5700 can do that.
The C750 will have the same focusing problem as the 5700. It is much cheaper and a very good camera.

Karna, the most under-rated but virtuous characters of Mahabharata. The secret love of Draupadi, the secret son of Kunti, the secret best warrior who could not prove his worth just because he was..till the end, an ill-fated man. This play focuses on the story of that ill-fated man of Mahabharata.
Only because Karna was the son of a charioteer and a low-caste, he was not even allowed to prove his skills. There has been numerous plays staged on Karna till now. But this play scripted and directed by Heisnam Kanhailal, father of experimental theatre, throws light on the much neglected aspect of Karna- his parents and his childhood. Karna's mother-Radha who brought up Karna goes through anguish and pain when after Karna's death in the battlefield, Kunti finally announces the truth about Karna to everybody and with that forbids the cremation of Karna through Shudra rites to ensure the easy passage of Karna to heaven as was believed then.
Karna was always used to glorify the upper caste. The play resonates the dismay of Karna as he laments that however he was not set within the body and spirit of a Sudra, he was solely identified as a Sudra throughout his life. As Radha calls out to him – "Karna, if you really made us the ,lower caste, a part of your life, then we call you. All five elements of your body has turned into ash, but your life still remains. Come, come before us. " Karna, in turn, responds – "Receive me in your womb for the next Mahabharataof the underprivileged when it comes out to be". This play enables us to view Karna's story in an entirely different light. Karna was used as a role model for matching up to the higher caste. By becoming a king and a renowned warrior, although with no evident royal lineage, Karna was, for them, a symbol of equality they could only dare to dream. They considered Karna as the brand ambassador of against the divine upper class. But ironically, Karna himself, was in truth , a royal descendent himself. Had he been actually belonged to a low lineage, would he suffer the same consequences?Interestingly, Karna himself laments that he could not bring justice to the society and class in which he was born and brought up. Truly indeed, it is difficult to sketch and analyze a character as complex as Karna.
This play was staged using the experimental theatre or physical theatre methodology invented by Heisnam Kanhailal. Following the Manipuri folk culture in terms of choreography, music and costumes, the striking feature of this play was the strong body language. The choreography was beautiful. Hardik Shah and Debashish Mondal, both were excellent in expressing the anguish and latent anger, but it was Hardik Shah who took the prize with his perfect portrayal of Karna- his preparation for becoming a warrior, his pride on becoming one, his helplessness on being struck by Arjuna when unarmed, and anguish when unable to bring justice to his mother, Radha, even after his death. Wrapped in an hour or so,this play gave us something, which is sometimes the sole reason we watch a play based on as mundane a subject as Mahabharata- a fresh new perspective !

Click here to read the first chapter of the book Salt Kills.
Please sign up here for news and updates.
Welcome to Health Now Books and to your free copy of the Preface and first chapter of my book Salt Kills.
I wrote Salt Kills to help friends, family, colleagues, and coworkers understand the dangers of adding salt to their food. I see the resulting damage and treat it in surgery every day.
For years I've searched for an effective way to explain that we are inflicting this often preventable damage on ourselves simply by eating salt. While many people realize that salt contributes to high blood pressure, most do not know that it also causes:
- Dementia
- Asthma
- Osteoporosis
- Obesity
- Stomach cancer
Salt Kills takes information from thousands of medical publications and explains the findings using very simple language, eye-catching illustrations, and interesting analogies.
This book is the product of my many years of brainstorming and many years of research. It's intended to help everybody. Let's face it: we all know people suffering from these largely avoidable health problems.
It is my sincere hope that the information in Salt Kills will help you and your loved ones to live long and healthy lives. Please feel free to pass along this information to any and all you know. Or simply place the www.saltkills.com link on your Facebook page and give your friends and family the gift of health.

|Trophy: Blam!
|Complete 'Break barrier with blast bot'
Break barrier with blast bot is a mission in Jak 3. Jinx managed to capture a blast bot and hook it up with a remote control system as well as more explosives than the standard package. Torn asked Jak to use the remote to direct it through the Industrial Section and blow up the last barrier blocking the way from the Port to the New Haven district.
The PlayStation 3 and Vita versions of this mission are related to a trophy named "Blam!", completing this mission will reward you with a bronze trophy.
You have to move the blast bot through the entire Industrial Section while you are being plagued by numerous spydroids, sentinels and roboguards as well as several other blast bots. The small fry are all distracted by the soldiers, who will also be out in force here, so just barrel through most of these while spamming the fire button (). The gun auto-aims for you and fires pretty fast too.
The blast bot has a lot of armor and health so it can take a beating, but the way is long and if you don't keep a tab on the many small enemies you will lose health. The real danger is from other blast bots, take these down before they can get their gun locked on to you. Once you get close enough to the barrier the blast bot automatically blows it up, completing the mission.

Year 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Year One. We hope this provides you with everything you will need to know about Year One. We hope that you find it useful, if you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year One team.
In Owl Class class – Mrs Butcher (M, Tu) and Mrs Salmon (W, Th, F)
Teaching Assistant- Mrs Ryrie, Mrs Bradwell and Mrs Stolton
In Robin class – Miss Williams
Teaching Assistant- Mrs Brown
We aim to make the transition between Reception and Year One a smooth one, by the time your child enters Year One in September they would have had many chances to meet their new teachers and have spent time in their new classes. Children will be exposed to a range of independent learning opportunities.
Curriculum and Topics
Children in Year One follow the National Curriculum, this sets out the objectives for all of the subjects. The key areas in the curriculum are as follows: Maths, English, Science, PE, Computing, History, Geography, Religious Education, PSHCE, Art and Design and Music. Children will use a core text that will lead their learning journey, this will change regularly. Children have daily handwriting, grammar, mental maths and phonics which is taught in ability groups.
Children will be expected to bring their green book bags into school every day. Children will change their books when they have read to an adult and a comment has been by made by the adult in their diary. We believe that reading is an extremely important skill and ask that you support us at home by reading as much as possible with your child and recording it in the reading diary with a comment and signature. We aim to read with every child at least once a week so having their book at school every day is really helpful.
Read Write Inc.
All children will be following the Read, Write, Inc. programme. "This provides a structured and systematic approach to teaching literacy. It is designed to create fluent, readers, confident speakers and willing writers." (Quote from RWI website) As the year progresses the children will move through the Read, Write, Inc. program to ensure they are ready for the Year One Phonics screening test at the end of the year.
Every week, the class teacher will pick a star of the week. These are children who have worked hard throughout the week in terms of learning, behaviour and upholding the values of our school. Children will receive a certificate in our Celebration Worship to take home with them.
At our school we follow a positive reward system using green cards. Children may be given a green card for effort, displaying our values, showing Building Learning Power skills or great learning. The children add up their total number of green cards over the year and aim to achieve a bronze, silver then gold certificate which again will be given to children in Celebration worship.
Children are also given Dojo points, these have now replaced house points. Like house points these will be collected each week and at the end of each term, the house with the most points will be given a reward. You can follow your child's progress on Dojo by logging on using the login your child brought home.
Home Learning
Children will be expected to read at home with an adult. Please ensure you write a comment in the reading diary when they have read with an adult.
We will be setting maths homework via Mathletics, a website that combines maths learning and interactive games, as well as handwriting practice.
Equipment needed
Please ensure that every child has the following equipment named and in school every day:
- A named jumper/cardigan and coat, especially in the cold weather
- A named PE kit
- Water bottle
- Book bag with reading book
Children regularly have an indoor and outdoor PE session therefore it is important that PE kits are in school at all times.

Prevention-smart parents must consider their role-model responsibilities with respect to drinking behavior. For example, not getting drunk in front of your children and not appearing that you need to drink everyday.
It is probably unwise to have a party where drink is made available for underage teenagers.
Some families do allow children to drink very small amounts of alcohol with the intention of helping their children to learn how to develop a responsible attitude to alcohol and not treating it as something that makes young people want to use it secretly.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2469?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12503790 ] Luigi Lauro commented on DERBY-2469: ------------------------------------ Known issues and missing tidbits: 0) NO TESTING (except very basic ones) DONE. Handle with care and give me feedback, so I can fix ;-) 1) StorageFile.renameTo() not implemented yet (will do soon, it's easy enough). Hope derby can work without rename, in a fresh environment ;-) 2) Check if PersistenceService implementation is meant to be thread-safe or not: currently my code do not synchronize in the StorageFile.createNewFile(), but this will need to be done, if PersistenceService does not give thread-safety guarantees. Probably, other methods will need to be synchronized as well. 3) RandomAccess not implemented: to do it, sooner or later. 4) Temporary files uses persistent entities: convert these to in-memory entities, to avoid using useful JNLP PersistenceService space and spamming the persistent entities list with temp files. Currently they are implemented using JNLP Persistent entities like normal files. 5) I18N: to be done, will be last thing, when everything else is working. > Java Web Start JNLP PersistenceService API storage support > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-2469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2469 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 10.2.2.0 > Environment: Java Web Start > Reporter: Luigi Lauro > Assignee: David Van Couvering > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 10.3.0.0 > > Attachments: svn-diff-20070329, svn-diff-20070606 > > > I would love to have Derby write/read to the storage area provided by the JNLP PersistenceService API. > Since Derby is now bundled with the Java6 JDK as JavaDB, I think this integration would go a long way towards making derby more developer- friendly in Java Web Start environments, where using the sandbox tools Sun provides us it the right way to go, instead of working around it and force the user to give the app the authorization to write on the hard drive IMHO. > I'm investigating the effort needed to provide an implementation of the WritableStorageFactory interface around the PersistenceService API, and if that's doable in a few days work, I will start working on it and submit a patch for testing/approval ASAP. > Feel free to volounteer and provide pointers/hints/whatever, it's really appreciate, especially since I currently know nothing of derby internals. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Since high school, I have always imagined myself settling down and being married at 23, babies at 26, having the whole house with a white picket fence...
Okay, that totally didn't happen. I'm now reaching 28, single, no babies and still living at home.
I cannot remember not being in a relationship! Growing up, I have had boyfriends that have overlapped, boys I have been casually seeing; I don't think that here has ever been a long period of time where I have been single. Up until this year, I thought I was in a relationship with the love of my life. We were looking to buy a house together, planning our future and one day, he decided he didn't want me, over a text message. OUCH, right? RIGHT! I thought my life was over, I really did. I was actually on my own now. I didn't have that person to hang out with, Netflix and chill, eat crap in bed or to tell my dreams and fears too. From that moment it was as though he had evaporated into thin air. I felt like I had lost an arm! Then came the hard part, deleting pictures, getting rid of those cute teddies, his clothes I used to sleep in. I even had to change my plus one at one of my best friend's wedding. Urgh it was torture! Months down the line, I am a brand new person! I have had the rebound guy, the guys you say yes to meeting up with and never do, the drinking nights with friends man-hating, anything to get over a relationship I have done it. Do I regret anything? HELL NO! Do I regret the relationship? Not one bit. I only regret losing my best friend and his daughter who I had a lovely relationship with.
I am a hopeless romantic, I am. I love the idea of a relationship, the loving bond you create with someone, planning your life with them. However right now? I'm finding me. If I'm honest, I don't really know myself! All I know is that I like food, I like to travel, I have major anxiety, but I don't really know 'me'. That sounds absolutely ridiculous I know, but I only really know me as being part of someone else. This year, I have made it my duty to find out who I am and what path I'm going to take next! I am not saying that I am totally against meeting someone, if it happens it happens, but I am focusing on what I want out of life. At the end of the day, you only get one!
I used to believe that life would only begin once I met the love of my life. No, life begins the day you start to embrace it.

I found this picture on the internet. How cute! Notice the man standing at the second floor? I think its a cute idea for my next kitchen at my next house (if theres gonna be one *wink). Why I like it? Because the smell of my cooking (if the smell is good) will fill up the house to the second floor so I dont have to call my hubby to come down for dinner, he'll follow the smell downstairs himself :-)

S3 Disc Engineering
S3 Disc Engineering
A completely redesigned chassis combines new, more robust airfoil sections with a rear triangle borrowed from our revolutionary Rca road frame. Our Dropped Downtube enhances frame stiffness while the flattened trailing edge makes bottles an integral part of the bike's airfoil design. Overall improvements focus on all the perks you want in a workhorse of a bike: Future-Proof cables allow for easy set up of internal electronic, mechanical, or hydraulic shifting and braking lines.
The all-new S3 Disc fork features a re-engineered leg airfoil that's 19g (~2 watts) faster than an equivalent S3 fork. The disc braking system also allowed our engineers to raise the fork crotch to reduce the low pressure zone behind the crown, while widening the stance of the legs to better blend with the caliper-mounting area and fine-tune interactions with the front wheel.
Re-engineered seatstays and chainstays, inspired by the Cervélo R3 Disc, have been optimized to work in tandem with the disc brakes to provide the best possible control and handling. New rear drop-outs, meanwhile, use 12mm thru-axle technology to improve performance still further, while creating a stable and stiff wheel-to-frame junction and yielding better brake alignment. As with our other disc platforms, this increases stiffness in the back end, leading to better handling in corners. We've also boosted bottom-bracket stiffness on the S3 Disc for better handling and power transfer to the pedals.
A redesigned cable routing system takes the signature side-entry cable routing system of the S3 and incorporates a new style of left-side entry to accommodate the hydraulic hose while providing a tidy access point for wired electronic shifting systems. Just one more detail to which Cervélo has paid careful attention. We also imported the internal battery mounting feature from the Cervélo S5 in order to better conceal the Shimano Di2 battery inside the downtube, with access through the bottom-bracket cable guide mounting hole.

By Marissa G. Muller (radio.com)
The last we checked in with Guns N' Roses, frontman Axl Rose said that the band was halfway into the follow-up to Chinese Democracy and had a remix album of their 2008 album ready to go.
Now it seems like Rose has been even more prolific.
According to an interview with guitarist DJ Ashba at Guitar International, Rose has two albums nearly ready to go.
"Axl, of course, has, I believe, two complete albums worth of songs already recorded and probably a s**tload of other stuff I've never heard," he said. "He's played me quite a bit of stuff that's phenomenal, and, hopefully, I can get my hands on it and put my little stamp on it, before all is said and done."
Whether that material includes the followup to Chinese Democracy that Axl mentioned is unclear, but either way, Guns N' Roses have new songs on the way.
The only holdup? Getting everyone into the studio at once.
"Lack of songs is not our problem. It's just getting into the studio. And there's been more and more talk about getting in there before the end of the year, which I'm really excited about," Ashba said, adding that it's a lot harder to record with Guns N' Roses than it is with his band Sixx: A.M. "A machine like Sixx: A.M. isn't as nearly as hard to move as a machine like Guns N' Roses with eight guys. It just takes a little more to turn the wheel."
As for what Guns N' Roses new material sounds like? Fans will be pleased by Ashba's description: "Sounds like classic Guns N' Roses. It's very much what I grew up on, what I loved about the band."
Ashba's news is somewhat similar to that of fellow Guns member Dizzy Reed, who said in July that the new record was "close" if it wasn't done already.

Sunday Game Three
By: Ron Patrick
Washington got this series to even with a 7-6 victory Saturday afternoon, banging out seven extra-base hits, including four homers. The Nationals overcame a poor outing from Gio Gonzalez, winning as -140 favorites on the MLB odds.
The first two games of this series have played OVER on the totals.
So the Nats are 10-7, the Mets 8-8 as the teams head into a rubber match Sunday afternoon (1:10 pm ET).
Sunday's Betting Odds
As of early Sunday morning most books were listing Washington with Jordan Zimmerman at around -150 over New York with Dillon Gee, with the OVER/UNDER proffered at 7.5.
The Nationals could also be found at around +115 giving the run and a half on the run line.
Sunday's Pitching Match-Up
Zimmerman is three-for-three on quality starts this year. He held Miami to one run through six innings, then held the White Sox to two runs in seven innings. Then last Monday Big Z limited the Marlins to three runs and six hits in a complete-game 10-3 victory.
Last year Zimmerman started four times against New York, allowing five runs and 19 hits through 23 innings. The Nats won all four of those games.
Gee is one-for-three on quality starts so far this year. He held San Diego to one run through 6 1/3 innings in his season debut, but then got rocked for seven runs and 10 hits by the Phillies, and five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings of an 8-4 loss at Colorado.
Last year Gee started once against Washington and took a loss, allowing three ER and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
So we give a definitive advantage to Zimmerman in the pitching match-up.
Check out Willie Bee's Pick on the Yankees vs. Jays Game 3!
Free MLB Pick for Sunday
We missed with Washington on the run line Saturday, but with Zimmerman's recent track record against the Mets, and Gee's recent struggles, this looks like another good chance for a run-line play on the visiting team.
Pick: Take the Nationals at the +125 on the run line offered at TheGreek.com.
Saturday's Game Two
By: Ron Patrick
Harvey, with just 14 career ML starts under his belt, has now allowed just three runs and 10 hits (!) in 29 innings this season. He is next expected to start Wednesday at home against the Dodgers.
So the Nats are 9-7, the Mets 8-7 as the teams head into Game 2 of this series Saturday afternoon (3 pm ET, Fox).
Saturday's Nats-Mets MLB Betting Odds
As of early Saturday AM most books we consulted were chalking Washington with Gio Gonzalez at around -155 for today's game over New York with Jeremy Hefner. The Nationals could also be found at upwards of +115 on the run line at some shops.
Saturday's Pitching Match-Up
Hefner opened this season with a good outing, holding the Marlins to one run through six innings, but then got touched up by Philly for five runs in just three innings. He then made an appearance in relief Thursday at Colorado and gave up a pair of solo home runs in one inning of work. So Hefner has allowed five homers in just 10 innings this season.
Last year, as a rookie, Hefner started three times against Washington, and got clipped for 10 ER and 21 hits in 17 innings. The Mets lost all three of those games.
Gonzalez opened this season by throwing six innings of shut-out ball against Miami, then held the White Sox to one run through five innings. The Nats won both those games. Last time out, though, Gonzo got bombed for seven runs in five innings last Sunday vs. Atlanta, a 9-0 Washington defeat.
Gonzalez started four times against New York last year, allowing nine ER and 18 hits through 22 innings. The Nats won three of those games.
Be sure to peek at Mr. Willie Bee's Series Picks on the Yankees and Blue Jays!~
Nats-Mets Betting Trends
New York went 21-38 last year against left-handed starting pitchers, and is 2-3 vs. lefties this season.
These two teams are now a combined 22-8 on the OVER/UNDERS this season.
Free MLB Pick for Saturday
We give Gonzo the advantage in the pitching match-up, and the Mets have had problems with lefties lately. So we're leaning toward Washington to even this series Saturday.
We're also not immune to taking chances, so in searching for a better price we'll take the road favorite giving the run and a half on the run line.
Free Pick: Take the Nationals at the +114 on the run line offered at Pinnacle.
Friday Series Opener
By: Ron Patrick
MLB Free Picks: Nationals vs. Mets Series Odds
Can the Mets break a three-game losing streak? Or will the Nats continue their recent dominance over New York?
And how might we profit with our MLB Picks from the goings-ons at Citi Field this weekend?
Nats-Mets Betting Odds
As of Friday AM most baseball books were listing Washington with Stephen Strasburg as -125 MLB odds favorites for this series opener over New York with Matt Harvey.
Also, TheGreek.com was chalking the Nats at -155 to win this series, with the Mets getting +135 as home dogs.
Nats-Mets Series Set-Up
Washington just took two of three games at Miami, winning a series rubber match Wednesday 6-1. That came on the heels of the Nats getting swept at home last weekend by Hot-lanta.
The Mets, meanwhile, just got swept three games in cold and snowy Colorado, losing Thursday's series finale 11-3. New York pitching gave up 28 runs in the three games in Denver.
So, Washington at 9-6 and New York at 7-7 both trail first-place Atlanta in the NL East.
Also, Check out Willie Bee's thoughts on the Yankees vs. the Blue Jays
Friday's Pitching Match-Up
Harvey is off to a great start to this season, winning all three of his outings, posting a 0.82 ERA. He opened by throwing seven innings of shut-out ball against the Padres, then gave up one run in seven innings vs. Philly. And last time out he held the Twins to one run through eight innings.
On the season Harvey has allowed just six hits in 22 innings, walked six and struck out 25.
Sounds like the start of a Cy Young season.
Last year Harvey started once against Washington, giving up one run and five hits in five innings, striking out 10 in a 2-0 Mets loss.
Strasburg is 1-2 despite with a 2.95 ERA. He opened this season by throwing seven shut-out innings vs. Miami, but then got nicked for six runs in 5 1/3 innings vs. the Reds. But last time out, last Saturday vs. Atlanta, he gave up two unearned runs in six innings.
On the whole Strasburg has allowed 17 hits in 18 1/3 innings, walked five and struck out 15. But over his last two starts he's needed 114 pitches to get 16 outs, then 112 pitches to get 18 outs.
Strasburg started twice against the Mets last year and fared very well, giving up just one run and six hits through 13 innings, walking three and whiffing 20. The Nats won both those games.
The Washington bullpen owns a 5.36 ERA this season; not to be out-done, New York's pen owns a 5.52 ERA.
Nats-Mets Betting Trends
These two teams are, somewhat surprisingly, a combined 20-8 on the OVER/UNDERS this season.
Nats-Mets Recent History
Last year Washington took the season series from New York 14 games to four. The totals trended toward the UNDERS in this series last year by a 10-7-1 margin.
Injury Update
For Washington, both IF Danny Espinoza (hand) and OF Denard Span (flu) have missed recent action and are listed as questionable for Friday night.
For New York, C Lucas Duda (back) missed Thursday's game in Colorado and is also questionable for Friday.
Free MLB Pick for Friday
Strasburg is still tough, but Harvey is emerging as one of the best young starters in baseball, too. And he and the Mets are getting a home-dog price. We'll add the New Yorkers to our list of free MLB picks for Friday.

Bad fortune deprives United of win
Thursday, 15 March 2018
Limavady Utd...........2
AT the end of the season, this may turn out to be a critical point for the Roesiders, who played with all the insecurities of a team with only one win in its previous ten games. Not because of any great performance, but because this was a game that saw the visitors undone by two moments of outrageous bad fortune which deprived them of the win that they probably deserved against a United side that was simply awful for long periods.
Both of these sides knew that they were perilously close to resurgent Dergview in the relegation dogfight and a win was vital for each. United were missing key personnel and others were clearly carrying injuries, but home advantage put the onus on them.
However, they started slowly and almost fell behind on six minutes as a defence-splitting pass found Hamill storming into the box past a static defence, and he was only denied by an excellent save by Wells, who blocked the force shot with his legs.
The game was the expected frantic contest with neither side able to combine more than a couple of passes at any one time and no sign of a clear cut chance. Then on 15 minutes, United were handed a huge slice of luck when a ball over the top found McCready in a clearly offside position, but inexplicably, the linesman's flag stayed down and he drove down the right wing before crossing to Hume in the six yard box.
The little striker was never going to miss from that range and he duly stabbed the ball home to end his recent goal drought.
Breda were understandably aggrieved but nearly levelled within a minute as Bennett's hanging cross from the bye line had Wells back-pedalling and at full stretch to just touch the ball onto the bar and out for a corner.

Volumetric imaging: assessment of volumetric aspects. ++ Three-dimensional (3D) volume imaging of the female pelvis is one of the most important advances in women's imaging within the last decade.1,2 Volume imaging is not new to radiology, as it has been used extensively as part of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for several decades. Ultrasound, on the other hand, had been relegated for more than 30 years to individual acquisitions of thin two-dimensional (2D) image slices that are very operator dependent and time consuming to obtain.3 These individual 2D images are largely dependent on the expertise of the operator that produces them, and even a careful review of these individual "snapshots" will often fail to demonstrate the anatomy if the operator does not specifically perceive the finding. ++ More recently, 3D sonography has enabled us to move ultrasound into the new era of rapid, automated, and comprehensive imaging and displays.1,2,3, and 4 Images of the entire pelvis can be accomplished with only 3 volume acquisitions: 1 of the uterus and 1 of each ovary.4 These volume acquisitions typically contain all of the sonographic anatomic information within the pelvis and can subsequently be rescanned electronically in any plane by a different operator who may be off site.1,2,3, and 4 ++ TECHNIQUE ++ The current methods of sonographic volume acquisition entail automated transducers, which have a dedicated 3D probe within their housing, mechanized to gather 2D ultrasound information from one side of the probe to the other (Figures 47-1,47-2,47-3,47-4,47-5,47-6, and 47-7). The operator holds the transducer still, while the probe sweeps from one side of the housing to the other and the volume is acquired in a systematic and reproducible fashion. However, the faster the speed of this mechanical acquisition, the lower the resolution of the images. Different types of processing can also modify the quality and appearance of the volume data acquired, such as the use of harmonics or other types of image-modification settings. ++ Figure 47-1.

U.S. Supreme Court
There appear to be two realities on the question of campaign finance reform. One, is the world of what politicians do and say when they're in front of tv cameras or talking to a reporter. They fall all over one another in an effort to explain that they're all for it. The other, the real world, is how they feel about accepting large sums of money. It's what they live for. They live to get elected and money is the grease that makes the wheels go 'round, particularly in this age of electronic journalism. This was first made apparent by the Nixon-Kennedy debates. JFK was tanned, rested, in makeup for tv and looking like he'd just stepped off the front page of GQ. Dick Nixon was sweating bullets and sporting a beard that made him look like he was badly in need of a shave. Some have argued that Kennedy won the debates on image alone.
It's largely image that gets people elected in America and it's no secret that it takes big money to present an image to the American people while fending off attacks from the opposition. When people give you money to run for office they expect a return on their investment. And so, those who have the most to "invest" in the Presidency and the Congress, are in effect, running the country. This is why we have no anti-trust laws preventing monopolies in the health insurance industry. It's why the cost of prescription drugs doubles when you cross the border from Canada to the U.S. He who contributes the most, gains the most favor in the nation's capitol. The insurance industry and big pharma have contributed heavily for years.
And so friends, finance reform has been a hot-button topic since 1833. Yes, 1883. For more than 100 years, our political leaders have failed to pass meaningful campaign finance reform legislation. Oh, bills do get passed, but lobbyists just bring the money in through a different door and nothing really changes.
Until we come to the court of last resort. The mighty Supreme Court of the United States. If the buck(s) is going to stop anywhere, this is where it will have to happen. But what has the high court just done? On a totally partisan vote, the dignified and noble Supreme Court of the United States has overturned precedents from 1990 and 2003 that upheld limits on what companies could spend independently, from their own treasuries, to support or oppose federal candidates.
The Supremes also struck down the part of McCain/Feingold that placed restrictions on broadcast ads for or against candidates just before an election takes place if the ads are paid for by labor unions, advocacy groups or corporations.
Common Cause President Bob Edgar responded to the ruling by saying, "This decision allows Wall Street to tap its vast corporate profits to drown out the voice of the public in our democracy."
The five conservatives on the high court obviously do not agree. They seem to feel that opening the doors on a flood of new corporate spending to further influence the political process is an issue of free speech.
The thinking of the majority according to Justice Anthony Kennedy is: "We find no basis for the proposition that, in the context of political speech, the government may impose restrictions on certain disfavored speakers."
And so, the political process in America becomes increasingly separate and unequal, favoring the wealthy over the poor, the middle class and even a number of Republicans who have been duped into believing that what's left of their hijacked party continues to represent their best interest.

Xiaomi announced the Mi 6 earlier this month for its home market of China, and the new flagship smartphone will become available over there tomorrow. It's seen huge levels of interest, with more than 1.2 million people registering on JD.com, the country's biggest online retailer.
The fact that Xiaomi is launching a new handset in China first is no surprise, that's how it's always done things. But its devices do generally make it to the handful of other markets where it's officially present - eventually. However, a new rumor says that strategy could be changing for the Mi 6. The device isn't going to be released in India.
That's big if true, because India is Xiaomi's second largest market in terms of sales. Yet this information comes from some unnamed sources, so don't forget to take it with a pinch of salt.
Instead of the Mi 6, Xiaomi will reportedly launch another high-end smartphone in the subcontinent. This decision, not to bring the Mi 6 to India, apparently makes sense for the Chinese company because it's always focused more on mass-market devices such as the Redmi series in that country, and not the top of the line. Additionally, the Mi 6 could be "too expensive" for India, it's being speculated.

Left Side Detail – Village Politicians by David Wilkie and Abraham Raimbach 1813
painter – David Wilkie (1785 – 1841) and engraver – Abraham Raimbach (1776 – 1843)
Another piece to the puzzle. Does any have an idea about the bottle on the string?
Detail: broom, barrel, bowl, chair, newspaper, spectacles, funnel, candles, beer bottles, bird cage, bottle on string, tavern, door, door latch
OK…an intrusion of 21st Century Plow and Hearth here…Wonder if it's some sort of fly or bee trap?
I agree with Pam. I would say its a fly/bee trap.
Or perhaps just a fly repellent (as opposed to trap), as described here http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/amazingly-effective-nontoxic-fly-repellant/
Bottle on a string……….Some say it doesn't work but a plastic bag with water in it will keep flys away from a small area (we keep one out side the kitchen door, it works). They may be doing the same thing.
Door, door latch
The Bottle with the string is a fly trap My grand mother had on in our house when I was a kid. also at the museum I volunteered at also had one on display. they also had one for bed bug it look like a pot with a funnel on top.
I agree with the fly trap or wasp/bee trap line of thinking. Ones I have seen have a bottom opening that funnels up into the main cavity. Water is added, creating a small moat around the funnel where the insects eventually drown. I believe it is because they easily fly up through the entrance, but have a hard time finding their way out. The top would be corked.
The bottle on a string is a fly trap, my Grand mother had one that belonged to my Great Grandmother. Her's was a mason jar that had a special top that went on it, you put sugar water in the bottom and the fly's could get in but not out. I also remember her doing the trick with a glass Coke Bottle.

Pipe bomb explosion at Istanbul train station kills one
FIVE people have been severely injured after a pipe bomb exploded on an overpass near an Istanbul metro station.
District mayor Atilla Aydiner confirmed the blast was the result of a bomb at the Bayrampasa metro station at the height of the evening rush hour.
Turkey has been on high alert since more than 100 people were killed by two suicide bombers in the capital Ankara in October – three months after a similar attack at a town near the Syrian border in July left 33 dead.
Bayrampasa is a residential and industrial area on the European side of Istanbul.
Another broadcaster earlier reported that one person had been killed but Aydiner confirmed only five injuries.
BAYRAMPAŞA'DA PATLAMA: Yetkililer, trafo patlaması ihtimali üzerinde duruyor https://t.co/OcXksTE5cV pic.twitter.com/YbS86sOtQa— NTV (@ntv) December 1, 2015
"The cause of the explosion is not known. We are assessing every possibility"Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin
Grainy CCTV footage showed a large flash of light on the overpass followed by what appeared to be burning embers showering to the ground as cars drove below.
Photographs on social media showed dozens of people walking alongside overground train tracks after trains had been halted.
Although Istanbul's metro is largely underground, it runs above ground in some places, including around Bayrampasa.
Tuesday's blast was much smaller than the ones in Ankara and the town of Suruc near the Syrian border, which are believed to have been carried out by Islamic State militants.
Turkey, a NATO member, has carried out air strikes against the Islamist insurgents in neighbouring Syria as part of the U.S.-led coalition fighting the jihadist movement.
It also faces security threats from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), whose militants often attack police and security in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, and the far-left Revolutionary People's Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C).
The DHKP-C, which is considered a terrorist organisation by the United States and Ankara, said that one of its members was involved in an attack on the U.S. consulate in August.
Initial reports had indicated today's blast was caused by a power transformer.
According to officials train operations had been suspended at Bayrampasa subway immediately after a loud bang was heard.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said several ambulances were sent to the area after the explosion.
Earlier Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin said at least one person was slightly injured.
"The cause of the explosion is not known. We are assessing every possibility," said Sahin.

John Steinbeck: a Brief Biography
John Steinbeck lead a life filled with words, from his award winning novels to the hundreds letters he wrote to friends during his career. He was born in Salinas, California on February 27, 1902, and lived there for the first sixteen years of his life until he graduated from Salinas High School in 1918. He took classes at Stanford, but spent more of his college years working to pay tuition than then he spent in the classroom. 1924 brought his first publication, two short stories in the Standford Spectator, but in 1925 he left his schooling and went to New York for a time. By 1926, he was back in California and his first book, Cup of Gold, was published the year the of great stock market crash, but had little success. In 1930, he married Carol Henning, and the two lived in Pacific Grove, CA for the next several years. These years were lean; Steinbeck was having trouble selling his work, even with the help of his literary agents, McIntosh and Otis. Often, selling a short story for 50$ or so was the difference between eating or not.
In 1937, though, Steinbeck got his first taste of real success. Now living in Los Gatos, California, he had four novels and a play published in just three years. He burst onto the literary scene with Of Mice and Men, and published the first three parts of The Red Pony the same year. The play of Of Mice and Men went on stage and won the Drama Critics' Circle Award. The next year, he published The Long Valley and the last part of The Red Pony. His big project for the year, however, was working and researching a great novel, to be published in 1939 under the title The Grapes of Wrath. With this book, Steinbeck insured his future in the literary world. The book was so controversial that Steinbeck had to worry about attempts on his life or reputation; even now, it (along with Of Mice and Men) often are found on lists of commonly banned books. It was so well thought of that it earned him a Pulitzer Prize. It was so influential that President Franklin D. Roosevlet met with Steinbeck personally after a letter to the President from Steinbeck about the German influence in Mexico. Steinbeck had been in Mexico working on a film, and throughout the rest of his life, motion pictures were a second medium for him. The film of Of Mice and Men was released in 1939, and the film of The Grapes of Wrath came out the next year. The motion picture of the Grapes of Wrath was named one of the best movies of the past 100 years by the American Picture Association. Screen adaptation of his work earned 29 Academy Award nominations and 4 Academy Awards.
Steinbeck's writing was characterized by several major factors. First, he often wrote about the poor, common people and often included social commentary into his works. There were many layers of meaning in his works, and he used symbolism heavily. He tried to "tell things like they were" and didn't censor out curse words or base talk for the ladies in the tea rooms. A lot of times when he wrote, he directed the fiction to one specific person, a friend or companion, to give it more focus.
He published four more books in the next two years; however, his personal life was plagued with problems. He divorced his wife Carol in 1942 and married Gwyndolyn Conger the next year. In 1943, he spent time as a war correspondent in Europe for the Herald Tribune, and the year 1944 brought the birth of his first son, Thom. By 1948 when he separated from Gwyndolyn, he would have another son John, two more films, six more books, and a King Haakon Liberty Cross to his name. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1948.
1950 brought him a new book, Burning Bright, and a new wife, Elaine Scott. He also began work on a book he claimed was something he had been practicing for since he started writing. This book was East of Eden, and was published in 1952, the same year his film Viva Zapata! was released. By 1955, Steinbeck was...

Mike Moustakas' wife Stephanie Moustakas got a laundry list of florid, hyperbolic adjectives used about her by the old men that married her off at their wedding. Both Mike and Stephanie's fathers listed so many attractive qualities about her, it's impossible to think they weren't pulling them from you know where. Mike's father used the words "smart, beautiful, strong, brave, tough, warm, confident." If you took out "beautiful" from the description, I might have mistaken Stephanie for a capable firefighter. The couple have a high-production wedding video that I recently watched. It is begging to be talked about a bit more, not least of all because it uses this insanely euphoric soundtrack that sounds like a time-stretched lullaby by Sigur Rós. I mean, anytime a professional ballplayer has a video like this on the internet, you've gotta' dig in with a bitter sword and even things out.
At the wedding, Stephanie's dad said into a microphone, "Now Mikey, Mikey smokes, drinks, gambles, chews tobacco, spits, and kind of fondles himself on national TV. But seriously– Mike is not without attributes. You're a great, great player; a better person." Dear old dad continues by pointing out that he's had one girlfriend his entire life (Stephanie). If it works, it works.
Anyway, Mike Moustakas' wife Stephanie gets really caught up in the emotion of being serenaded by Mike during his vows. He throws out the line "You remind me of the first time I saw you. You have this glow around you. I knew from that day I was gonna' spend the rest of my life with you". The man loves his lady.
As you can imagine, Stephanie's vows were just as romantic and heartfelt. I know Mike's father joked around about all his bad qualities, but it's really clear that Stephanie is the brains of the operation. But no matter what – Mike has two rings. One from a wedding, and one from the World Series. Both are pretty sweet.

I'm in my third trimester now. Dun dun dun!!!!!!! And guess what? This is when I'll balloon like crazy. You'll see that my face is already puffing up in the photo below. I'm debating whether or not to continue to post FOTDs. LOL!
In the previous stash shopping post, I showed you how to create a soft smokey look using the products in Project Make A Dent. I am still diligently using these products, so I thought I'd show you another way of wearing the products. I can't exactly get creative with the base, cheeks or lip products, but there IS something I could do with eye colour placement.
For the eyes, I used Clinique Bountiful Beige as a base before patting the lighter shade of The Escape all over my lids. Now the difference is the placement of the darker eye shadow. Using a smaller brush, I carefully darken just the outer quarter of my lids. Then with a fluffier blending brush, I'd just swirl the brush around to blur out the edges. To up the intensity, just add the darker shade and repeat until you like how it looks. Black liner is a must for this look because I don't have dense lashes. For this, I'd make sure the pencil is sharp before drawing a crisp line, winging it a little at the end. Finish off with mascara. The end result should look like this.
This creates a subtle definition on the eyes. I forgot to mention that I do take the darker eye shadow down to my lower lash line – just on the outer third. This makes my eyes look just a little bit bigger. And more awake. You can even increase the contrast of the eye shadow, use a liquid liner instead of a pencil and apply a red lipstick and make this a pin up look. The complete look is something like this.
In the next stash shopping post, I was considering posting basic tips on applying eye shadows. Would you like that, or do you prefer me just using other products and creating looks with them? Let me know. I'm running out of ideas 😛
xoxo Lily


text: No two shades are trendier and more wearable than black and white. In a previous Wednesday Trendsday I mentioned winter whites and I'm so excited we're getting closer to that season. So today, I'm drawing inspiration from the two contrasting colors, and from my favorite fashionable girls from Gossip Girl: Leighton Meester and Blake Lively. They both always look great, and make it look easy. Dressed as they are, they look like they're heading to a white party. White parties require all of the guests to wear all white and I like the idea of the guest of honor wearing black to contrast. So get out there and celebrate simply in black & white. Get started: brand new white party invitation.

Once you take photographs, write a few notes about them. Whenever you reminisce at the pictures, you could find it difficult remembering the place you took them. Get a small notebook to write down down your information about the photos. Number your photographs, and write this number down from the notebook near the description of that photograph.
A good photography tip is don't get carried away with having the newest and greatest equipment. Technology is definitely improving and unless you're a huge success, it's hardly realistic to concern yourself with getting the newest equipment. Make good usage of everything you have.

Before you take that picture, make certain it can bring out the best in your subject! Have a sense of the backgrounds of all of your current shots. Be aware of things nearby and then in the distance. Also, use that eye of yours to view how color will contrast with the main topic of your photo. In case the background subject don't mesh well, you should find another spot!
Leave yourself some "Lead Room" or "Active Space" when confronted with subjects that relocate your shots. This is just basically some empty space either before the subject or behind the subject. As a result to get a less-cluttered and much more pleasing action shot for the viewer to look at.
A good photography trick that will help you is to hold your breath before you take a picture. Holding your breath will enable you to go on a clear shot. Ideally you should use a tripod but this simple trick can help keep you from getting blurry pictures.
Vary your lighting when taking several pictures. It is actually harder to accomplish in natural light, nevertheless, you should adjust light levels when possible to discover the many effects light will have on your picture composition. Keep the lighting comfortable to your subjects, and consistent with your selected color schemes.
A great photography tip that can help you out is usually to start using sandbags to weigh down your equipment. If you're using big studio lights, you should definitely weigh them down with sandbags. It might be a disaster if it expensive equipment were to suddenly fall and break.
Assess if you are considering a subject before you photograph it. Know that when a subject is seeming boring to you personally, it will be boring to future viewers in the image. Take a moment to create your shots interesting, and you will probably be rewarded with better shots.
Try not make use of camera's red-eye reduction. This normally does a pre-flash that shrink's the subject's pupils to minimize the reflection. Even though this works, it also gives the person a stern warning and might either cause them to flinch as soon as the actual photo is now being taken or they'll pose more for that photo. You're better off using computer image editing software to edit out your red-eye later.
You can use a lot of different strategies to take good shots. Everybody can wind up useful photographic advice, however, many people may benefit more from certain techniques than the others. The guidelines included on this page are a great way to begin taking memorable photographs.
