Uggg..I just went to a friend's Myspace page and she says that she is a lesbian. Her family has no idea though. Her brother is on her friend's list, but he isn't the most observant guy. Should I say something or keep my mouth...

Tarrish I wouldn't out your friend if that's what your asking. Are you saying you want to say something to her? Like why she's out on myspace, but why she isn't out to her family. Maybe it's just to hard to come out to her family right now. Maybe she's worried...

nypage I agree with the above response, doing things in-camera is easier and faster.

MrCoolantSpray It's so much easier doing stuff in the camera rather than using photoshop.

margieanneart My husband is a photographer. He said to get the blur in the back ground, you must focus on the object in the front, and make sure the lens f stop is wide open. You can only do it on a manual camera or one that has an apature prefered meter.

MrCoolantSpray That's exactly right. The effect blogyourself wants requires a shallow depth of field. Set the aperture to anything less than 5.6 (like 4.0, 2.8, etc.) Then focus on what you want to be in focus, and snap the shutter.

Idlewild If I remember correctly from my photo-taking days... The smaller the aperature (the lens opening), the greater the depth of field (area of the picture that will be in focus). The larger the opening, the smaller the depth of field will be--in other...

spcbrass You should be drinking water during your workouts. If your muscles don't have enough water during a workout they will get fatigued much easier. Drinking water will also keep your body temperature under control. It will also keep you from getting dehydrated....

hionmentho I think it's mainly used for children and teens. I'ver never heard an adult be called honey or doll, unless it's a married couple, which I think we all know is acceptable.

For those of you who wear thongs, what do you look for when buying. I wear them and I have been trying to find some lately with a thicker band. When I was younger I wore gstrings, but I've heard those aren't healthy for you.
