But actually, in the books, Edwar...Thanks for that!<br />But actually, in the books, Edward doesn't leave Bella in the woods, they are just a few metres away from the house, she walks deeper into the woods after Edward disappears. So, no dick move here.<br />I think that Edward and Bella's relationship isn't healthy because they are extremely co-dependent. But a lot of fiction couples are and I kinda like the trope - because I know it's just fiction! I'd never want a relationship like that in real life. So in my opinion we should talk more about those things and also show healthy functional relationships in franchises.<br />What we shouldn't do is suffocating constructive discussions, only taking informations from the movies (because come on, the movies get it wrong all the time and especially Twilight)and trying to transfer things that only work because it's fantasy to the real world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620378150460818006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314338408594443818.post-25851446051454496322018-09-28T07:39:40.156-07:002018-09-28T07:39:40.156-07:00The detailed review on how to get William Hill pro...The detailed review on how to get William Hill promo codes 2018 at <a href="https://top-casino-promo-codes.com" rel="nofollow">top-casino-promo-codes.com</a>.

I agree with ...You forgot, <br />Harley riders are gay.<br /><br />I agree with most of this article, the only part that I would caution you on is at what age you let children watch South Park? Can a 3rd grader (9 year old roughly) watch Star Trek? Fer sure. Will they GET it? No way. But that's "ok". It will seep into their brain and be useful later.<br /><br />But South Park? Uh, no. A 9 year old will get the WRONG message. They lack the ability to understand the subtle humor, the sarcasm. No nine year old should even KNOW that there is such a thing as "gay" or "racism". They will think that its "ok" to do what they do on the show, its not. They will LITERALLY hate gingers. Is the ginger thing funny? OhmygoshSUPERfunny! But a nine year old would take it LITERALLY.<br /><br />Personally, I think that the correct age is 16, but hey, that's just me. A 16 year old you can reason with, you can explain things. <br /><br />The other day I had a nine year old tell me that it was the HOTTEST DAY EVER (it was 80F). It could NEVER get hotter, this was IT. When I showed her the thermometer and the historical NWS data that CLEARLY contradicted her, it had no impact, NONE. A nine year old brain is still being wired, its not "set enough" yet. At that young of an age you have to lead by example, NOT by logic. You have to tell the chick at Dunkin Donuts "you gave me too much change" and give it back. You have to walk across the street and help the elderly couple unload their groceries, you have to give the kid in front of you at Try-N-Save $2 so he doesn't have to put the milk back. BUT, you also have to order your coffee at the Dunkin Donuts drive thru in your best "Slingblade" voice, or break into an Australian accent while ordering dinner at "The Outback" steak house.kirwooddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461069606353975518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314338408594443818.post-44555280906070389312011-07-05T20:53:04.771-07:002011-07-05T20:53:04.771-07:00Dishiprin come from wifin.Dishiprin come from wifin.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702255859416716456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314338408594443818.post-70477277318067429642011-06-11T05:26:39.064-07:002011-06-11T05:26:39.064-07:00I love live writer.

But I don't remember which one. Then I went and drooled all over the 60D. The one thing that would make me (and this may not matter to you) not buy the Powershot is that it doesn't record RAW. It shoots in raw (as everything does), but it saves something else. I think. I'm not sure. The Canon site was unhelpful on that subject, and I couldn't figure it out at the store either.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702255859416716456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314338408594443818.post-977367546834892472011-02-25T17:28:32.157-08:002011-02-25T17:28:32.157-08:00I understand the basic physics of photography.

That being said, more is ALWAYS better. Resolution is important, but it's not the only thing. If you use the right lens for the right job, compose in the camera and never have to crop in post, 10 is all you'll ever need. But that's not always the case. Sometimes there's something way in the backfield that I didn't even know was in my shot, and it turns out that's what I want to keep. If I've got more megapixels, I've got a much better chance of being able to crop down and zoom in and still have a reasonable amount of detail.<br /><br />Is a difference of 2 megapixels worth an extra 200 gypsy tears? In my opinion, no. If that's the only difference, I'd definitely go with the cheaper one.<br /><br />If you really think you wouldn't know what to do with a Rebel or a Mark 3, the Powershots you're looking at are probably full of a lot of extra features you'll never use. If you want to figure out how to use all the stuff on a DSLR but don't want to spend so much, I think you're looking at exactly the right thing. To me, these two models scream "entry level amateur." They're exactly what I would recommend for somebody who wants to learn a little about photography and doesn't want to spend a lot of money.<br /><br />PaulC and Dad: You've both been shooting longer than I've been alive. Wanna weigh-in here?

I shot at f/8 because I wanted that little bit of extra depth of field, since I'm essentially doing macro work without macro equipment, and autofocus is the devil.<br /><br />This photo was taken at the Sonora Desert Museum, in Tucson, AZ, at 15:05 on November 9, 2010.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702255859416716456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314338408594443818.post-4240383349725316522011-02-22T14:16:12.496-08:002011-02-22T14:16:12.496-08:00A GUY AT WORK WANTS TO KNOW WHAT CAMERA YOU USED.A GUY AT WORK WANTS TO KNOW WHAT CAMERA YOU USED.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144213998005080465noreply@blogger.com
