» Newbie Question about Blurry Photos

I am an amateur photographer who is aspiring to get great results with my digital camera. I own a Digital Rebel XT (I love this camera) with standard zoom lens. The problem is--it is very difficult to get perfectly clear shots without using a tripod and a static subject. At first I thought my hand was too shaky--but I didn't remember having had this much trouble with my 35mm camera. Even when I dialed my ISO to 800+--I had issues. My other concern with blurry or soft photos was "not enough light". However, I have the same problems in outdoor/daylight pictures. I understand the basic ideas of F-Stops and Shutter Speeds (even though I think this is where my problem lies). I feel like I can't just shoot a picture like I did with my 35mm. I lov...... - 2009-07-04

I'm a rising senior, and I plan on applying for the MEXT Undergraduate Scholarship when I graduate in 2008. I'm having a hard time getting my parents to warm up to the idea of me studying overseas, especially as an undergraduate, and I think a lot of it has to do with financial issues. From what I've researched, MEXT seems to have the best scholarship, but to apply for it, you cannot have any other scholarship. My question is, how do you get students loans for international study??

I am trying to find detailed stock data for the last few years (the longer, the better). It is easy to find charts, but is there a way to get detailed data in an accesible format (ie, CSV or anything that you work with, not just some proprietary format) that shows stock prices for a range of stocks (the more the better) for the last few years? And preferably, the ability to get detailed information for throughout the day, not just the closing price.If you want these things; chances are you will have to pay for it. For intraday prices, thebest source is a bloomberg terminal. For good data over the year (assuming you want more than 5 or so which is easy to find) you should try the Wharton WRDS database.

» SOY !! ... Soy Milk, I just watched a documentary saying that soy is not great but bad for you ?

I've been hearing a lot about this too.. I remember Dr. Oz from Oprah saying that it was bad for you as well.. Then my sister's personal trainer said that it was bad for your health and to drink rice milk as a substitute, instead. Rice milk is delicious!Well, some scientists and nutritionists say soy can cause cancer. I think that is ridiculous. Would it be a vegeterian/vegan or a person that eats fast food every day that gets cancer? You be the judge. Soy products contain a chemical similar to estrogen, the female hormone, so it's not the most healthful thing to consume. It can cause weight gain in females and males, but unless your drinking two cartons of soy milk a day I don't think anything bad will happen. If you...... - 2009-07-04

» 40D reliability?

I was eagerly waiting reviews of the 450D when browsing through the Canon UK outlet on ebay for refurbished SLRs I did a search for the 40D. There was not a single one listed current nor completed sales in last 10 days. When I did a search for the 400D there are 17 currently listed and 51 completed in last 10 days. This suggests that the 40D is VERY reliable against the 400D somewhat UNRELIABLE! What do owners think of either model? I wonder if the extra premium on the 40D would be a good buy against the 450D? Any comments appreciatedI'm not sure that it's a matter or reliability.

I am an artist, and i was starting to get interested in technical pen drawing, but i wanted to know are they worth it for the price? they seem really expensiveOH YES!!!

» Is a 132 out of 300 on the PSAT's good? ?

I think its above-average from what I hear... I mean I wasnt exactly shooting for the National Merit Scholarship. Does this mean I'm gonna suck on the SAT's? Actually it is out of 240 not 300. In the actual SAT's you would most likely get a a 460 on verbal, a 390 on math, and a 470 on writing. Your estimated scores can change of course if you're not a junior yet or if you really study for the SAT's.

is that right, is there anyway that I can get that money back?Liability for income taxes is based upon your income, not your age. In fact, if you are a dependent you'll generally pay HIGHER taxes than someone who is not a dependent since you lose your personal exemption and therefore will have higher taxable income. You'll only get a refund if more tax was withheld that your tax liability. On your Federal return, if your income as a dependent is over $5,450 then you will have some tax liability and won't get it all back.

» First Portrait Shoot--Nervous!

lStay away from cliche poses like forearm covering boobs. Start by throwing on a relatively wide-angle lens and get in pretty close-- it breaks the ice. Have plenty of film ready if you shoot it. Go over the shots a thousand times in your head if you have particular things you're looking for. Otherwise she can do her thing if she's a proper model and you won't have to direct quite as much. I had someone ask me last weekend..."well then how will I know if I'm giving you the pose you want?" and I said, "Because you'll hear the shutter fire." Keep a conversation going.

In the film "The Name of the Rose", there’s a crucifixion scene where the hunchback, as the cross is getting burned, starts singing this foreign song. The song does not appear to be on the soundtrack album. What’s the name of this song, and where can I get a copy?Just in case this helps someone along (although I doubt it will :) From IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0091605 The hunchback's name is Salvatore.

My niece was the same way this week. Fever on and off and we couldn't figure out what was causing it. My sister took her to the ER and it turned out to be a urine infection. You might want to check that. We would have never thought of that being that she is only 5, but she is doing a lot better now. Most likely just a virus...both my children have had this and it can last 5-7 days. See the doctor just incase. Tylenol and Ibuprophin can be used together to keep the fever down. At different times, 2-3 hours apart. Ibuprophin works much better and lasts longer if you dont feelcomfortable giving both but its ok. Keep giving the fever meds, if the fever spikes to high she could get a febrile seisure.A fever that spikes, and comes and...... - 2009-07-04

This can be painted as well but you will need to use a special paint that is made for plastic. No matter what the finish is make sure the surfaces are clean and dry.
