The mat board is the piece of your wooden photo frames that will support your picture. It's important to look at the good and bad sides of each of the three mat board types you can choose. By looking deeply into each, you can begin to determine which mat board will be right for you.

Acidic Pulp: Paper Matboard

Thanks to its wood pulp, paper matboarding has a high acid level. Most businesses will tell you their paper matboard is somehow acid free, but that's impossible whenever there's any quantity of wood pulp present. What these companies do is buffer the surface of their mat boarding, which reduces the acid levels for a time. In five years, that acid level will be through the roof once more -- this means that unless you don't mind risking serious damage to your paintings, it's best to use these matboards temporarily.

On the positive side, paper matboard is also cheap.

Archiving With Cost: Cotton Rag Matboard

The purified cotton rag matboard is ideal for keeping painting fresh and maintaining their beauty for years on end. Since it's lignin and acid free, there are no concerns like the paper matboard, but on the negative side this limits the colors you can choose from for the board. The cotton rag matboard is crafted from a series of dyed layered cotton boards, which produces a thick base that is uniform.

The problem with cotton rag matboard is its expensive price tag. For much less than a single cotton rag, you could pick up two paper matboards. The question you have to answer is whether you want something that will be permanent or something that will ruin itself in a few years.

Somewhere In Between: Alpha Cellulose Matboard

Matboarding of the alpha cellulose variety features wooden fibers which are doused with chemicals that will lower acid levels to safe quantities. The matboards themselves are nicely stable, and work great for archiving those paintings you need to keep permanently.

The alpha cellulose provides a medium level between the paper and the cotton rag, being cheap but not too cheap for conservation, and good for archiving but not perfect.

Using This Information

Do you want a matboard for art you purchased in the budget section of a dollar store? If that's the case, then you should definitely pick up a paper matboard, which will be cheap and hold up for about as long as you'll want something like that on your walls.

For your more important pieces, though, it's definitely worth the extra money to store your beautiful paintings for long term viewing. That extra cash will pay for itself by protecting the stuff you want to look at forever: the art that inspires you to dream on a daily basis.

Many of the Canon PowerShot models have one of the best video making capabilities on the market in this cameras price and performance bracket, and Canon calls this Movie Mode. The only slight downside is a 1GB file size limit for an individual recording. I'll explain more about that in a moment. First I want to tell you about the movie mode options and what they mean. This may sound a little techy, so bear with me...

When you go to record, you will have a number of choices. First of all, you have VGA, and this is a mode that lets you record at 640 x 480. VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and while it has been in use for some time there are still many that do not know exactly what it means anymore.

QVGA stands for Quarter Video Graphics Array and is sometimes also called Quarter VGA, QVGA, or qVGA. The resolution of qVGA is 320 * 240 and these types of displays (computer monitors) are found on mobile phones, PDAs and other types of hand held devices. It's called QVGA because it offers 1/4 of the 640 480 resolution. The VGA standard was first developed by IBM.

The Canon PowerShot allows you to chose between 15, 30 and 60 frames/second when recording in movie mode, depending on the resolution you have selected. However, you will always come up against the 1GB limit, no matter which mode and frame rate you chose. This 1GB file size limit is for the size of any one individual recording. You will be able to continue recording until the memory card is full or the file reaches 1GB in size, whichever happens first.

At maximum quality setting, which is VGA 640 * 480 at 30 frames per second, the 1GB limit is reached in approximately nine minutes. So, the maximum resolution will give you approximately 9 minutes of movie time before you hit the 1GB size limit. This doesn't mean that you can only store 1GB of movies on the card. You can store as many 1GB movies as your card will allow. If you have an 8GB card, you could store eight 1GB movies at the maximum resolution.

If you're using a Canon PowerShot for video, you will probably be uploading your content to the web. YouTube still has a 10 minute limit on video length. And frankly the attention span of most people will wane considerably sooner than 9 minutes! If you want longer movies, you have a couple options. Reduce the frame rate to 15 fps. That may work for you but remember that the slower frame rate will give you a lower quality image.

You could also lower the resolution from VGA 640 * 480 to QVGA 320 * 240. You should try recording at the different resolutions so that you know how quality is affected. Another thing you could do is to reduce the audio quality. This may reduce the file a bit, but not as much as changing the frame rate or resolution. Many PowerShots also have a "fast frame rate" mode, which records at 320 x 240, 60 frames/second. This means that you can get a better quality video at the lower resolution.

By doing this you could indeed record for a bit longer than the normal nine minutes, and you would even retain decent video quality. Make sure that you check the results of this before you actually use it however. One thing that you need to know however, is that the Canon Powershot will definitely outdo any other handheld video camcorder on the market. This is a combination of both the lens and the technology integrated into the PowerShot.

Some would refer to carmelo anthony and lala as a match made in heaven. Everywhere you see them, its as if they can't stop looking at one another. Both of them met in 2003 and had their share of problems like any couple, but remain one of the hottest couples.

They met in a club for those that don't already know. According to Lala, Melo was asking their mutual friend DJ Clue about her for some time. After a while, they were both in the same club and Melo spotted her and went up and started talking with her. From there, they became friends, which progressed into a relationship.

They did not wait long before becoming engaged the following year on Christmas day. A little less than two years later in 2006, they found out they would be having their first child together. In 2007, Kiyan their baby boy comes into their lives on March 7th.

Melo's 25 and Lala 30, so they are five years apart in age and their son is two years old. Lala has a career as a TV personality and continues to various work related. Melo, continues playing with the Denver Nuggets, who he has been with since 2003.

The two of them seem like they are in no rush to get married. Both say they are enjoying their relationship and no wedding plans have been set. From the time, they started going out, they now have been together for close to seven years.

At one point, there were claims Melo was cheating on Lala, but never were these reports confirmed. Melo was arrested last year for a DUI and Lala stayed close by, although claims were made saying she left him to fend for himself. Lala has made her share of mistakes as well, with her recent ejection from one of Melo's games, however she says it was due to the fans and not her.

Should they lift his ban even after his death? If so will they let him into the hall of fame? So many questions surround this possibly misunderstood baseball legend. Shoeless Joe got his name from what is believed to a blister on his feet from a new pair of cleats. So he took them off and played in his socks throughout the ball game, resulting in Shoeless Joe Jackson. A man who just wanted to play the game of baseball and was banned from it.

Whether he actively threw the series or not, we're going to first analyze his numbers to determine whether he's Hall of Fame worthy but for the scandal. Jackson's career spanned- years, and while he's remembered as having played for the White Sox, Jackson also played for the Naps, Athletics, and Indians.

Some of these numbers include a .356 career batting average, 785 RBIs, and 168 career triples. The power was low, but this came in an era where lower home run totals were more commonplace.

The power is low, but this came in an era with much deeper home run fences, and just before Babe Ruth made his impact as the first major power hitter in baseball, revolutionizing the game. Players hit for average, with an emphasis on extra base hits (Jackson averaged- triples per season). A closer look at Jackson's stats show some very impressive attributes.

Jackson had an OPS of .940, an on base percentage of .423, and struck out just once every 24 times at the plate. These numbers are very impressive in their own right, and make a stronger case for Shoeless Joe.

Aside from the numbers, his biggest roadblock is the'19 World Series incident. Jackson's team, opposing the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, lost, and Jackson and all of his teammates were accused of intentionally throwing the World Series in what became known as the "Black Sox scandal". Despite these accusations, Jackson batted .375 with a World Series record 12 hits. Never made any errors either. One could easily argue that Jackson didn't throw the series.

I have researched that many say the Reds triples were hit to left field. Most of them anyway, and Joe Jackson was the left fielder. This is actually false. It is a fact that no triples were hit to left field in the World Series vs. the Reds. Now the only flaw in my thinking is that he received a $5,000 payment.

This begs the question: does Shoeless Joe belong in the hall?

Celebrating a wedding is probably one of the greatest moments in a person's life. To make it even more grand, moments should be captured in photographs. The venue, the visitors, and even the food served, can all be immortally saved in print. Wedding photography and food photography usually go hand in hand, so choosing a photographer or studio to ensure all of these memories are captured can get quite difficult.

Getting a fantastic wedding and/or food photographer is actually quite easy. There are many things to take into consideration, but the basics would be to check the photographer's experience level, photographic style, price range, and even their personality.

It's almost foolproof to know how great your photographs will turn out by checking the photographer's portfolio. Their studios usually showcase a lot of samples, depending on their specialty. A person or company specializing in wedding photography will of course showcase a lot of pictures from various weddings, a food photography specialist will display a lot of different artistic food photos, and so on.

Experience and talent are the key, so check the portfolio. Aside from the displays on office walls, photographers usually have "online folios," an online portfolio. They are just websites that show a few of their best work on whatever field they best at. For instance, a wedding photographer's website will display his or her best work from different weddings: the bride and groom, ceremonies, churches, receptions, and even the food.

Also put into mind how much you will need to spend. It is okay to shell a lot of money for such an occasion because it is a once in a lifetime event, but you should know how much is too much. Comparing prices online will give you an idea of the right amount you should spend on a wedding photographer. But of course, do not sacrifice quality. A package can be cheap, but that doesn't have to mean the pictures will look that way too.

Last, ensure that the photographer is someone you have faith in. He/she should be someone you can get along with easily. You and your photographer should be able to get along well, else find another.

Indie rock music continues to make its imprint in the music world, and a deep one at that. With so many new bands emerging, it seems like this trend will continue to evolve, and fans are naturally grateful for it. 2008 and 2009 have been some great years, marked by many new bands making their way into the scene. This article will mention some of the best debut albums this period has brought us.

While I could easily name 15 or 20 great debuts during the last two years, I'm only going to focus on three during this article. This will require a lot of thought, since so many albums are worthy of mention here.

The three articles that I choose to discuss are all wonderfully crafted albums that all music lovers should listen to. If you've never heard of these bands, you're in for a treat as soon as you do.

I can remember the first time I heard For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver. This was one of those albums that made an immediate impact when I first heard it, and well over a year later I'm still listening to this album regularly.

This is an album that consists of some great songs from beginning to end. Standout tracks like "Flume", "Skinny Love", and others quickly became indie rock staples after the album was released.

The second debut that makes my list is Vampire Weekend's self titled debut. This album came out in late 2008, and it marked the birth of a truly original and sophisticated band. With influences that span from classical to world music to indie rock, this is one of the best bands in modern music.

The final album that makes the cut for me was a classic in my mind the moment I first heard it. The self titled debut by Fleet Foxes was unique, charming, haunting, nostalgic, and modern all at once. This great mix of styles has harmonies that happen to be some of the best I've ever heard.

If you haven't heard any of these albums, there's no doubt in your mind that you'll enjoy them.

When you are on the web, you usually do a whole bunch of things. Some of these include submitting forms, doing searches and clicking on links. You may not realize it but all of these activities involve use of resources that are usually contained in a web server. Even a simple retrieving of a home page requires that the web browser that you are using request it from a web browser.

Generally, these types of requests where a web browser requests for a resource and the web server responds with it is called a two-tier architecture. This is a simple request-response action since there is no sophisticated storage software involved. However, there comes a time when complicated operations that involve dynamic data will be undertaken. In such cases, a separate database to handle these requests will be used.

When a web browser requests a resource and the server response is generated from a database, such an architecture is called a three-tier architecture. Whenever access database requests are made, the web browser must first communicate with the server which in turn, communicates with the database management system that retrieves the requested data. The database management system is used to manage all the data that is created, modified, queried or deleted by users.

Whenever you access database information, you will need to have your web server process your requests that are implemented using scripts. This organization allows access database requests from thousands of users to be done simultaneously. For efficiency, many websites implement the web server and the database server on separate machines. In more advanced and high-end applications the load is further distributed by use of many machines.

The web today allows the use of the HTTP protocol to access database information. HTTP is conceptually simple. A request made in HTTP receives a response from the web server. The response is usually a HTML document, an image or a program output that is sent back to the web browser. When you access database servers, you will usually be either requesting from entry information that is cataloged or you will be making changes to the entries themselves. Despite their seemingly complex nature, database management systems offer users application interfaces to do that. It is usually not necessary to make internal configurations to the database server. In most cases, this will be done right on the web browser. So when you access database information the next time you are on the web, you may likely be doing that via a number of machines. Quite amazing, is it not?

Most of us, when looking at female celebrity pictures would see a standard spectrum of things ranging from the subject in the picture's wardrobe to the latest gossip the said subject or celebrity has generated. Their relationships, lack or failure thereof as well as sexual orientation are fair game as well.

It seems we use these so-called 'Icons' as a strange mix, as a source of information on, for lack of a better term, the latest fashions and all the details this entails; and as a source of criticism that reassures us that the subjects of these pictures are human beings like us.

If they are known and remembered, then it is also possible for us to to be. One could say it is a bizarre sort of 'God complex' for the masses struggling to find purpose and meaning in their lives. A strange, superficial way to try fill the emptiness.

One could say they are a strange projection of our own psychological state and thus we can use them to look into ourselves and, thus in fact find ways to improve our own lives, if we of course have the courage to do so. This would also require much self criticism as well and enough honesty to admit and see this.

What is it saying about us in we look and criticize the above average achievements of a human being like us. A human being who despite having weaknesses like ours they were still able to achieve some pretty great things. For the sake of argument, let us just ignore 'pop-culture' frauds shall we.

If we are honest with ourselves than we have to accept our own 'failures' and 'inadequacies' and this is when things can get really interesting, for the good or for the better for all and for ourselves, once again depending on what kind of person we are or what kind of attitude we subscribe to.

We can accept our mediocre and normal lives and see only this in the lives of those who have achieved and a simple coping mechanism or a crutch and thus we would not have to do any actual work. We can accept what we see as a pathetic existence and slowly fade away into oblivion, occasionally seeing someone who actually put some effort into doing something with their lives fall and get our empty joy from this like some gutless wonder and armchair achiever.

Alternatively we can recognise that there is always to do in our lives, and ore to accomplish. We can use the celebrity in the picture as an example of what can be done, what can be accomplished. What one man or woman can do, another man or woman can do. That is the way to live. 'Do not go quietly into that goodnight, rage, rage with the dying of the light' as the poet wrote. Oh well, it's better than sitting around doing nothing.

There are many reasons to consider using laminating sheets for important documents and pictures. For one, they offer protection against damage.

Papers can rip, tear, be stained, or get ruined by a water spill. Additionally, papers and pictures tend to fade over time, and a high quality laminating sheet will help to preserve the color and the quality of that which is being covered.

If you're looking to buy some laminating sheets, you have a few different options as far as how to go about things. This article will focus on the different ways to accomplish your goals.

Many people prefer to go with laminating pouches. There are a few reasons for this. What people like most about them is the fact that they're very easy to use, as putting objects inside them is just as easy as removing them. As a result, these are a bit more expensive than the next item we'll discuss.

Another way to go is the self adhesive laminating sheet. These have a sticky side, and can be attached to the paper or other object that you're looking to laminate. These are great in the sense that they'll provide a very adequate layer of protection, and they look great.

While all sounds great about self adhesive laminating sheets, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. Most notably, once you apply a self adhesive laminating sheet to something, you won't be able to take it off. This is a stark contrast to the easy access of the laminating pouch.

Laminating machines are powerful devices that automate the job of laminating. Not only will these save you time, but they'll save you money over time if you're laminating things on a regular basis. They're the easiest and fastest to use as well.

A decent lamination machine will cost you at least a few hundred dollars for the unit, and unless you're in a situation where you plan to laminate things quite frequently, it may not pay to spend so much money on such a device.

Many of the Canon PowerShot models have one of the best video making capabilities on the market in this cameras price and performance bracket, and Canon calls this Movie Mode. The only slight downside is a 1GB file size limit for an individual recording. I'll explain more about that in a moment. First I want to tell you about the movie mode options and what they mean. This may sound a little techy, so bear with me...

When you go to record, you will have a number of choices. First of all, you have VGA, and this is a mode that lets you record at 640 x 480. VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and while it has been in use for some time there are still many that do not know exactly what it means anymore.

It's called QVGA because it offers 1/4 of the 640 ? 480 resolution. The VGA standard was first developed by IBM.

You'll be able to make some choices with PowerShot, such as the frames per second or FPS that you want to use. You have the choice of 15, 30, and 60. Remember though, that no matter how high or low your resolution is, you will hit the one gigabyte limit eventually and you will be unable to record any more; at least until the next recording session.

You will reach the limit in about nine minutes when you are recording in VGA 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second. You can store several one gigabyte movies in your card if you wish, but it will simply shut off after you reach the one gig limit.

Chances are that you are using the device for web content anyway. When you upload to YouTube you will hit a ten minute limit anyway, and this is alright because most people won't watch past five minutes anyway. Longer movies can be obtained by reducing the frame rate to 15 fps, through you will have an image with reduced quality when you do this.

You could also go to QVGA quality which will reduce the resolution. If you want, you can try lowering the quality of the audio as this will guarantee a smaller file size. A faster frame rate will also do well, as it will give you a high quality video even at the lowest resolutions.

Meaning you could record longer than 9 minutes and still have very good video quality. Again, you should try this option too and check the results. One thing is certain though. No matter what setting you use the quality will far surpass any of the small handheld video camcorders that have been designed primarly to squirt video onto video sharing websites. The main reason for that is the lense, closly followed by the astounding technology delivered by the PowerShot in such a small package.

Consumers who have been looking for a camera with all of the power of a larger unit but with the compact size small enough to fit into a pocket have finally been granted their wish. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is not an extremely compact camera in the traditional sense, particularly when compared to the G10 from Canon, but in comparison to the competition it is twice as light and compact. This camera also has all of the features that one would expect to find in a high quality camera without sacrificing the lightweight and compact size. Overall, the ZS3 delivers excellent results while being able to fit inside any pocket. Featuring a stabilized 25-300mm lens, this camera delivers a superior range for its size.

The DMC-ZS3 offers a host of excellent benefits, but perhaps one of the most impressive is its ability when compared to its size. The fact that the camera also features 12x zoom along with AVCDH video are also bonuses that cannot be overlooked. This is a very versatile camera that will allow consumers to actually replace their camcorders in many situations. The ZS3 also makes it possible for consumers to shoot a range of different subjects, from landscapes to portraits, easily thanks to the 25-300mm lens.

Perhaps the only drawback to this camera is the lack of manual modes. Still, the fact that you can shoot in auto with the ZS3 makes this one little handy camera to have. Furthermore, the camera also provides the ability to operate using intelligent auto mode. Through the Intelligent Exposure mode you also receive the ability to enlighten shades as well as improve sensitivity as a result of the Intelligent ISO. When using the camera in portrait mode, you can take advantage of the auto correction red eye feature. An extremely smart camera, the ZS3 allows you to photograph anything you might want.

Another excellent benefit of the ZS3 is the wide angle lens, featuring the Leica logo. This is actually one of the best lenses on the market currently for this class of camera. The 25mm lends holds up extremely well, all without compromising quality in the least.

Of course, the video mode is what really makes the Lumix DMC-ZS3 stand out from the competition. This camera is perfectly capable as acting as a two-in-one device, giving you the ability to record in a host of different manners. If you are looking for a single device that will allow you to do everything and save money at the same time, this is it.

If you have been shopping around and comparing the DMC-ZS3 to other models produced by Panasonic or even other cameras produced by other companies, you may find yourself wondering which camera will provide you with the best features.

In comparison to previously models of cameras that have been produced by Panasonic, including the TZ5, this model has a range of features that were already successful on prior models and even manages to improve upon those features. The DMC-ZS3 offers an excellent new image processor along with increased power in the zoom lens as well as face detection and HD movie mode. Considering all of the benefits that were already present in prior models from Panasonic, this is a camera that is hard to beat.

In terms of the competition, the ZS3 is able to outshine even the SX200 IS from Canon due to the number of benefits that it offers over the PowerShot. Perhaps the only area where Canon might have a slight advantage is the presence of the manual controls, but even that is not a detriment, provided that you have no overwhelming desire to experiment with your own manual controls.

You finally bought a digital camera. Now, it is time to enjoy taking pictures. I'm sure you are excited to use your new camera and would like to find some photography tips to help you get excellent photographs. It's a good idea to practice. The more pictures you take, the more you will learn about digital photography. You can learn from your mistakes.

It is common for beginners in digital photography to make mistakes. We'll save you some wasted shots by sharing some digital photography tips that will help you avoid the most common mistakes.

One of the most common mistakes beginners make is by trying to capture too many images in one photograph. This creates an unfocused, jumbled up mess. When you add too many images to a photo, there are too many subjects to allow the viewer to focus on just one. It's difficult to look at pictures like this. The pictures create confusion rather than defining a moment or capturing scenery.

It's important as a beginner to learn how to properly frame your photos. Photos that are not framed properly can appear bland, out of balance, and even cut off. Learning to frame your photograph will help you take better pictures.

Try to learn photography composition techniques. One of the biggest mistakes made by beginners is shifting the subject of the photo too far to the left or too far to the right. A photo with the subject in the center can be boring because it lacks interest. This is such a common style of photography many find it boring.

A big mistake that most beginners make is not taking the time to learn to create artistic focused photographs. All they think of is capturing the picture in the center of the frame. Frankly, that has become old and boring. Your goal as a photographer is to create photos that can be viewed from any side or angle and still be pleasing to the eye.

Digital photography beginners make another common mistake. They start taking pictures without knowing anything about the camera. Learn to use your camera properly to avoid blurry, overexposed or underexposed photos.

At some time in your life you have been the photographer behind the camera. We take photographs to record special family events like births, weddings, and family gatherings. We also like to use photographs to record other special events, such as parties or celebrations with friends. When you are behind the lens of a camera it is up to you to compose the photograph. Ideally, this is done without cutting someone's head out of the photo, or including all sky with just faces lining the bottom of the photograph.

Composition is one of the first steps for learning to compose great photos. The second step I learning to improve your technical skills with your camera. Photography is considered an art, but there are elements of skill involved that can be learned and perfected. If you excel in one area at the expense of another, it will be reflected in poor photography.

One important key to taking great photos is learning where to stand in relation to your subject. You must figure out which angle looks the best and position the subject in the frame accordingly. Any variation in composition, including placement, can make the difference in an awesome photo and a photo that you need to ditch.

A monotonous mistake made by most beginners is that they think they have to center the subject in every photograph. Logic dictates to take the photo from the center, but sometimes if you move the subject off center you will add a new dynamic to the photograph. A great way to learn to compose pictures is to apply the rule of thirds. Using this concept divide the frame into three parts horizontally and vertically. Place your subject on one of the intersections and you will be able to compose a dynamic photo. The only setback to using the rule of thirds is that it does not work for all photographs, but in general, it is a good rule of thumb.

Improve your technical skills with your camera will also help to improve your photos. The more you know about your camera, the more creative ways you will discover to take photographs. The most important skill to master is focusing. You cannot salvage a blurry picture, not even using digital enhancement. A blurry photograph may as well not have been taken, that is how important it is to learn to focus.

It is easy for beginners to either over expose pictures or under expose them. Learn to use your lighting conditions to your advantage. Realize that flashes work when you are close to a subject, but not too close. Flashes are useless more than 20 feet away from the subject. Understanding these concepts will save you a lot of wasted photographs. When you want to take pictures at a distance, it is best to set up a tripod for stability, and allow a little longer exposure. Mastering exposure techniques will make a dramatic difference in the clarity and quality of your photographs.

The key to learning photography is to take lots of pictures. Practice. Practice. Practice is the key. The more time you devote to photography, the more improvement you will see in your photography skills.

Welcome to the world of buying baby products and congratulations! Believe it or not there are tons of options for things from diapers to strollers. Almost everything has gone digital now, except for the diapers, of course. With so much on the market at the moment it's easy to get sidetracked and buy baby products you don't need or else leave something important out. For Pete's sake, don't let it be the diapers!

Strollers are a must. You won't find a supped up stroller out there with a speedometer and heads up display so baby has a clear shot with its missiles but there are options. Light strollers vs. heavy strollers are the main concern. Here's what you need to look at: lifestyle. Are you a take baby around the block kind of person or do you plan on drives to the park or beach? Light strollers are great because they're smaller and store in the house easier, and let's face it; you're going to have plenty of clutter in your future. A lot of the heavy strollers are actually car seats as well, that halves the amount of space needed in a way and the extra storage space is nice for juice and toys during extended time away from the house.

Believe it or not, of all the baby products out there, diapers are the most controversial. The two choices are cloth and disposable. Cloth diapers are better for the environment and don't fill up landfills. But they're cloth, so you have to wash them. Disposable diapers are disposable, oddly enough, and for your baby and you it's all fire, change and forget. Whatever your choice is remember two things: makes sure the diaper is snug but not too tight and that if the diaper has a 25 lbs limit that is the BABY'S weight limit, not the amount the diaper will hold.

In your quest for the perfect baby products you're going to encounter many, many play pens. The natural inclination is to think you can just get one later, when baby is older. This is not a good idea. A play pen is your baby's protection when you are not holding them. It's a safe environment for them to learn to roll over and to stand up. As infants, it's a place where you know no one will step on them. Don't be afraid to get one right off.

While playpens are great and will help keep you sane and baby safe, they are not beds. Oddly enough the industry has come up with some other baby products for this: beds. A bassinet is a nice way to go for infants and is highly recommended up to 4 months. After that, start looking for other options. The best bet would be a bed with high rails. This will keep your little escape artist from climbing over and falling out later in their lives.

Blankets are an important concern as well. How many blankets do you need and what types are best? The answers to both of these questions are: all of them and yes. Different baby blankets have different uses. A nice warm fleece is great for cold weather and generally a good choice, however in a hot car on a summer day? No. Use a nice thin linen type blanket. Blankets are also great catch alls for your baby. By that we mean is your baby will use it as a best friend, cover, shade and a bib. It's for the last function that you really should consider getting as many blankets as possible and always keep extras on hand.

Bottles are very important. Even if the plan is to go "au natural" you will still need bottles for juice and the like. Mom is not a slurp-ee machine you know. In all truthfulness, design doesn't matter too much. When buying bottles, look into the nipple quality and never put the nipples in the dish washer. The synthetic "rubber" the nipple is made out of can become dry and brittle with prolonged exposure to heat.

Baby products have been developed enough over the years that there are probably more choices than what is healthy for a new parent's sanity. The best bet is to look at your own lifestyle and go from there. If you travel a lot with baby, think pockets. If you're homebodies, then think light. Either way, it's a learning experience and not one you'll ever get back when it's done, so enjoy!

There are literally hundreds of things to do before baby comes, buying baby products shouldn't add to your stress, but help relieve it some. Unfortunately though, everyone and their mothers (literally) have tons of unwanted advice on what to buy for baby; that could really stress a parent out. Don't think this article is going to be much different. Well, maybe a little different, you came HERE remember? But we're not going to bother you with anecdotes or show your spouse naked pictures of you at three months old. What we are going to do is offer a few suggestions with the "whys" for you to consider. Hopefully, unlike the three hour conversation over how castor oil was great, this might help you out some.

If the first major invention of prehistoric man was the wheel, the second was the baby stroller. There was most likely a caveman somewhere who was tired of listening to his wife complain about holding the baby, or how the harness hurt her back (and they aren't too comfortable) and after awhile viola! Stroller! Today, strollers are something you can't live without. Basically there are two versions: Big and Little. The big strollers have lots of pockets and places to hide stuff for baby, and are extra safe. They're more like a home away from home for your little caveperson. The little strollers are smaller. For small walks around the block or maybe to the corner store and back, these are a better, short range option.

Diapers are a concern and a huge expense, particularly if you plan on using disposable diapers. Due to concerns over landfills and environmental issues, many parents are choosing to go green with diapers. (I'll save that joke for the people I know.) No matter which you choose though, remember that fit has a direct effect on function. A diaper that is too loose will not catch everything it needs to and one that is too tight might cut off baby's circulation. So be mindful of the fact that it's a diaper, not a tourniquet.

Play pens will not only protect your baby, but protect your sanity. Laying your baby down on the floor where Balto can clean up baby's face, or clean out baby's diaper, is not a good idea. It's also drafty down there. A good idea in the world of baby products has come to light in the last 150 years. It's called a playpen. Use it well and use it often. All domestic playpens are baby tested and mother in-law approved. It will protect baby and give them much needed time to learn how to roll over and later "cruise". Plus it will keep Uncle Phil from stepping on your little one.

While playpens are great and will help keep you sane and baby safe, they are not beds. Oddly enough the industry has come up with some other baby products for this: beds. A bassinet is a nice way to go for infants and is highly recommended up to 4 months. After that, start looking for other options. The best bet would be a bed with high rails. This will keep your little escape artist from climbing over and falling out later in their lives.

What's a bed without blankets? In fact having a baby without blankets is like having submarine with a screen door: completely useless and a little insane. Blankets provide comfort and shade for your baby. Remember to use heavier blankets in the winter months or in colder climes and lighter blankets in the summer for some shade when needed. Keep lots of blankets on hand too! Of all the baby products on the market today, blankets are still the most versatile items in your parental arsenal. They're also the most likely to get up-chucked on, so extras will always be needed.

There are many bottles on the market; some haven't changed in ages while others could nearly advertise as "same baby bottle the NASA uses." Go with what makes you comfortable. A lot depends on your baby's eating/drinking habits. Just remember that heat and rubber nipples are a bad idea. The rubber in the nipples can become brittle and break off. The possible hazards are obvious. This issue is more prevalent with cheaper made bottles, but all nipples have this possible hazard when exposed to extreme heat like a dishwasher.

Remember when listening to advice from anyone on what would be best for your child that the people giving it care. Yes, it's a hassle. In most cases though, it's not because they feel you'll be a bad parent. They're just trying to save you some of the trial and errors they went through themselves. Just smile and nod.

Have you ever considered all of the benefits of receiving Photo Shop training? There are quite a few of them. If you are interested in computers in the least bit, then understanding how to use Photo Shop software can really help you to do a lot of things. Maybe you have already made a couple of attempts to understand how to use it, but have failed every time. If you have made attempts to understand it, then do not feel left out because you have failed. The secret is in the instruction.

People who are given poor instructions will always fail to understand because the instructions are not made for beginners. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? Most people who are planning on using the Photo Shop software are beginners, and it wouldn't be fair if they didn't have a chance to learn and understand the same things as those who do.

The good news is that with the right Photo Shop training guide, you can learn all of that and a lot more. Most of the other Photo Shop tutorial programs just focus on teaching the bare essentials. While that's nice and all, it's still not enough. Everyone knows that what makes the Photo Shop program so exciting is that it not only allows you to work with the basics, but also the more spectacular and fascinating aspects of graphic design, photo editing, and creation. No one expects to become completely mind-boggled when reading a Photo Shop training guide. What they expect is to actually read it and understand it. But unfortunately, what usually happens is that the person attempts to read it, gets halfway through the manual, and then gives up and decides that the program isn't for them.

Once you have found the right Photo Shop training guide, all of your worries and anxieties can be set aside. It sounds crazy, but there are actually a lot of people who take this type of thing very seriously. The potential that someone can have (especially someone in business) when learning the Photo Shop program is very substantial. If you're in business, you can finally put together that awesome website you've had in mind, and make your dreams a reality. However, the Photo Shop program just isn't for business purposes only, it can also be used for fun. With that being said, the learning process should also be fun. Do you consider yourself to be a visual learner or simply someone who likes to read instructions only? It's been scientifically proven that most people have an easier time learning when taught. This not only means reading the Photo Shop training material, but also being demonstrated how to perform certain steps.

Rest assured that you will find the Photo Shop training guide that you seek. No matter how many times you've failed thus far, there is still hope. Just remember that Photo Shop isn't a hard program to learn, and shouldn't be. Keep in mind that the only difficult part lies in the instruction.

Canon's consumer SLR line has a new flagship: the 15.1-megapixel Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Once again, we see a new SLR from Canon in less than' months from the last in a given line. It's actually only eight months since the XS was announced, and about-- since the XSi; either way you look at it, competition has shortened product cycles in the digital SLR space.

Along with the boost in megapixels and Canon's most advanced imaging processor to-date, this latest Canon Rebel camera has also been enhanced with HD video capture, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots / VGA) monitor and user-friendly functions such as Auto Lighting Optimizer, Creative Auto Mode and Canon's Live View modes, all the right tools to open new doors for imaging enthusiasts. From high-resolution to high-definition, the new Canon EOS T1i Digital SLR camera helps to give creative consumers a jumpstart on the next evolution in digital imaging.

Movie mode comes to the Rebel T1i with quite similar capabilities to the Canon 5D Mark II, though it's highest complete HD resolution is 720p at 30fps. It can capture 1080p videos, but only at 20fps, which isn't technically fully up to spec. Standard 640x480 movies are also available at 30fps. You can manually focus or autofocus via contrast detect by pressing the Canon T1i's rear AE/AF-Lock button.

Controls and body styling are nearly identical (differences are broken down in the User Report below); the main changes are internal. The Canon T1i's new sensor is ever slightly larger at 22.3 x--.9mm compared to the 22.2 x--.8mm measurement of the XSi's sensor, but the bigger change is the new sensor's high ISO capabilities, running from 100 to 3,200, with two expanded settings: 6,400 and 12,800.

Also introduced at the same time is the very small Speedlite 270EX, a new flash that is easy to pocket and gives cameras like the Rebel T1i and the PowerShot G10 an accessory flash that won't threaten to flip these lightweight cameras over. The flash head zooms manually from 28mm to 50mm coverage, and flips up to 90 degrees. Like other EX Speedlites, the 270EX transmits color temperature information to the camera. Power comes from two AA batteries.

From high-resolution to high-definition, the new Canon EOS T1i Digital SLR camera helps to give creative consumers a jumpstart on the next evolution in digital imaging.

The muscle behind Canon's new EOS Rebel T1i camera is the DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor with---bit analog-to-digital conversion and the ability to process full HD video. The Canon EOS Rebel T1i digital SLR camera offers continuous shooting at 3.4 fps for up to 170 large/fine JPEG images or up to nine RAW images in a single burst when using a class 6 or higher SD or SDHC memory card. Whether capturing wildlife on the run or a child mid-stride on the soccer field, users will appreciate the fast shooting capabilities of the Rebel T1i Digital SLR camera.

The Canon Rebel T1i accepts EF and EF-S lenses, and uses SD/SDHC cards, including Eye-Fi wireless cards. The battery is the same as the XSi, and it uses the same battery grip.

After the introduction of the EOS 5D Mark II in September 2008, the Company's first HD video DSLR, Canon has integrated this must-have feature into the new entry-level flagship EOS Rebel T1i camera. The camera features 16:9 720p HD video capture at 30 fps as well as a Full HD 1080p video capture at 20 fps, and a third option to record 4:3 standard TV quality (SD) video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 fps. The video capture mode is part of the camera's Live View function, using the Picture Style that has been set for Live View still image shooting. The camera allows skilled photographers and enthusiasts to adjust image sharpness, contrast, color saturation and white balance, and have those settings apply to the movie image as well. When recording video, the camera's rear LCD screen is letter-boxed by a semi-transparent border to match the aspect ratio of the movie recording size.

When it comes to selecting a camera, there are 2 types you can select from. It typically relies on if you need to practice traditional photography or modern photography. Currently, you can choose between a manual camera and an electronic camera.

Here are a few tips you may need in order to purchase your camera, be it digital or instruction manual.

Prior to buying a camera, you want to decide whether you wish to practice photography as a hobby or simply to pass your time. The biggest modification between a standard camera plus an SLR is that the latter gives you the option of adjusting the aperture plus the shutter speed. Though this makes the photographs a little more hard to capture, it can give good results. If you have a sufficient amount patience, you can create any picture you wish to.

Ensure you consult a snapper and read an adequate amount photograph mag reviews. Read plus research popular photography magazines to see what their analysis on SLR cameras is. Ensure you are aware about the diverse cameras that are accessible today.

Camera costs change, particularly when it comes to SLR cameras. The cameras at the lower end are manually operated and give options for automated aperture settings. The relatively costly cameras tolerate all these features and more. They are also programmable and possess the power to determine the flash through the camera lens as well as offer larger shutter speed and aperture.

If you're ready to select a camera for buying, hold the camera, test with it, look through it and become familiar with it. If you plan on purchasing a digital camera, there are some tips you must follow in order to select the best camera for you.

As with the guide camera, set a budget inside which you intend on purchasing your electronic camera. Make sure that you do not spend way above your means. You should be realistic as well as being open-minded. A camera that's cheap need not be low end plus an expensive camera needn't be high end. Renovated SLR digital cameras are cheaper than the new ones plus possess lots more features that aren't present in the newer versions.

honestly gauge how experienced you actually are at photography and how much skill plus potential you possess. If you're amateur, it is maybe best to settle for a point and click camera. But if you plan on expanding your understanding plus experience, choose a camera with many features, control plus exposure.

There are a number of internet sites that offer you in depth information on different models of digital cameras. They minister to the needs of both significant pros as well as newbie hobbyists.

If you know what to look for, picking a camera is a lot of fun and simple. Whatever you purchase, make sure that it tends to your requirements, needs and tastes. Don't just accept whatever the store person tells you to settle for.

If you look at the state of tennis today as compared to 30 years ago, a lot has changed. Most of this change took place in the'80s, as both the racquets and playing styles underwent major transformations.

I'd like to take a trip down memory lane by writing about my favorite five'80s tennis players. These all come down to my personal preferences and they're not based on merit. Nonetheless, I'll be curious to see how these compare with yours.

Bjorn Borg. The Swedish maestro who may be referred to as the best to ever play the game had his career lasted just a little bit longer.

Stefan Edberg. One of the last true serve and volley players who captured the world's number one rank. I can't think of a player who covered the net as well as Edberg has, and he was one of the last of a breed of true serve and volley tennis players that essentially no longer exists.

Boris Becker. Ah, the jump serve. Becker popularized this method of serving in the'80s, and just about everyone I knew tried to emulate it in their own way. Becker was a true warrior on the tennis court, and I'm a big fan of what he did for the sport.

While he wasn't exactly a fan favorite, I absolutely love what Ivan Lendl did for the sport. He sat atop the rankings for longer than anyone before him in modern tennis had, and he won more tournaments than one could possibly dream of winning today.

At number one on my list is John McEnroe. His personality and his talent were both top notch, and he played the sport with all of his heart. McEnroe may very well be the most beloved American tennis player in the history of the sport.

It was hard to narrow this list down to just five, as there are many others I could have mentioned. How do these players compare to yours?

Many people are now choosing to store their pictures digitally rather than the way they used to - in big bulky albums. In fact, there are many benefits that a digital photo album can provide. I would like to share with you these benefits, so that you too can see what it has to offer.

If you have a digital camera then you are already benefiting from the fact that you don't have to print off pictures that aren't flattering or didn't turn out well. Plus you're able to keep the pictures in digital form on your computer, so you don't have to worry about cluttering up your house with boxes and storage.

Although it is possible to store your pictures on the hard drive of your computer, there is always the risk that your computer will break down or have the memory wiped due to a virus or crash. This isn't a problem if you store your pictures online. Most photo sharing sites do all the backing up for you, meaning that never again have to suffer the upset of losing the memories of your most precious days.

Unlike the old kind of film processing, you are able to get rid of the pictures you do not want before you print them. You also can select which photos you do want to print, and there is no need to print off all of the pictures that you take. You can keep them on your computer until you are ready, only printing off the ones you want. In the end, it's much less expensive than it used to be.

Keeping your photos in a digital photo album means that you can name your photos, search through them and edit them as needed. You can choose to label the photographs by name, event, date or however you wish and you can also put them into separate online albums which means they are there fast whenever you need them.

The websites that offer the service of online photo albums also tend to offer other services such as using your pictures to create jigsaw puzzles, as well as mugs and key rings.

When ordering prints you can have them delivered to your front door, so there is no need to drive back to the photo shop and collect them days later, as you would have to do with the conventional method.

Modern technology and the clever minds that have created such programs continue to benefit many people all over the world. The process is so simple that even those with only basic computer knowledge are able to benefit.

This method of storage will be able to save you both time and money and means that your pictures are kept safe and can be accessed from any computer with internet access. So wherever you are, you can show off your pictures without having to haul around that great big photo album with you!

Have you ever considered all of the benefits of receiving Photo Shop training? There are quite a few of them. If you are interested in computers in the least bit, then understanding how to use Photo Shop software can really help you to do a lot of things. Maybe you have already made a couple of attempts to understand how to use it, but have failed every time. If you have made attempts to understand it, then do not feel left out because you have failed. The secret is in the instruction.

People who are given poor instructions will always fail to understand because the instructions are not made for beginners. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? Most people who are planning on using the Photo Shop software are beginners, and it wouldn't be fair if they didn't have a chance to learn and understand the same things as those who do.

Right now, you might be wondering if there is any way possible that you could ever find a completely understandable Photo Shop training guide. Let me be the first to tell you that there are guides out there that are easy to read, it is just that you have to be careful when choosing. Some of the things you might be interested in learning how to do when using the Photo Shop program are learning how to add graphics to your photos, reduce red-eye, create 3D images, enhance color, resize your images, and basically everything else possible, right? It's very exciting, but quite frustrating when you don't know how to do it!

An obvious problem with a lot of the Photo Shop training guides currently on the market is their inability to cover the entire program. Who invents these things anyway? When you want to learn about something, you want to know about the entire program, right? Even if you're not completely interested in learning the extras, it's always nice to know that it's there if you need it. When you go searching for an adequate Photo Shop training tutorial, what are some of the things you expect to find? Think about it, do you want a training manual that is extremely technical, loaded with extensive instruction and lots of details? Or, would you prefer something that breaks the program down for you in terms so easy that even a child can comprehend? Probably you want something simple, quick, and easy.

All of these things may seem extremely difficult at this point, and they can be. But when you are provided Photo Shop training that is made to be understood, things aren't so bad anymore. What do you think an ideal Photo Shop tutorial should include? Just information on how to partially operate the software, or information containing simple steps on the entire program that even someone in grade-school can understand? I'll bet on the latter.

You'll save yourself a lot of frustration and time when seeking out the proper Photo Shop training guide. Make sure that you know what to look for. If it seems to complicated, it's probably useless. Take your time finding your program and do your research. Only then will you be able to find what you are looking for.

Now that you finally have a digital camera, you must be wondering where to find good tips for using your camera to capture really great photos. The first tip for good photography is to practice. When you are finished, practice some more. The best way to get familiar with your camera is by capturing pictures. One of the best ways to learn is through your mistakes. Analyze your pictures to figure out how to make them better.

It is common for beginners in digital photography to make mistakes. We'll save you some wasted shots by sharing some digital photography tips that will help you avoid the most common mistakes.

One of the first mistakes beginners make is that they load the photograph with too many images. There is no focus, no subject. The picture becomes crowded and difficult to look at and understand. People don't much care for looking at crowded images in a photograph.

Beginners have a difficult time learning to frame their shots. Either they know of no other way to photograph than placing the person in the center, or in their attempt to be creative they may cut something important out of the picture. Learning to frame your photos will make your pictures much more appealing.

Try to learn photography composition techniques. One of the biggest mistakes made by beginners is shifting the subject of the photo too far to the left or too far to the right. A photo with the subject in the center can be boring because it lacks interest. This is such a common style of photography many find it boring.

Sometimes it is hard as a beginner to understand how to make artistic, focused pictures. Get away from the mentality that everything has to be centered. Your objective should be to take photos that are creative and appealing regardless of what side of the picture you look at or from what angle you view the picture. That takes practice.

Digital photography beginners make another common mistake. They start taking pictures without knowing anything about the camera. Learn to use your camera properly to avoid blurry, overexposed or underexposed photos.

A certain amount of light will also need to hit the object that you are trying to photograph. It will be helpful to you if you take the person in the picture away from the background some. A shadow may be left if the person is too close to the green screen, and you don't want that.

Is there anything the people in the pictures can do to help?

In green screen photography you'll want the people you're photographing to be positioned a certain way. The best way to have them positioned is in a way where the screen fills the whole image. You'll also want to make sure they do not wear anything that might interfere with getting the desired shot. So it might be good to instruct them before you take the picture.

What can I do after I've taken a good picture?

You can do many different things once you have gotten the shot you want. You can use whatever software to fill background image that you have on your computer to fill the background image with anything you want.
