Farberware Vintage 9-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

This collection is perfect for newlyweds, new homeowners, or anyone ready to invest in a new cookware set. The five pots and pans of varying sizes accommodate simple one-pot dishes as well as elaborate recipes and multicourse meals. The classic styling and mirror-like finish make a beautiful addition to kitchens with open shelving or hanging pot racks.

Professional-weight stainless steel ensures quick and even heat distribution and years of reliable results, backed by a limited lifetime guarantee. The stainless steel and thick aluminum-core bases of these utensils distribute heat so efficiently that most cooking can be done on low to medium heat. Stainless steel is nonporous, so it won’t react with foods and will maintain its appearance. Excessive or continuous high heat and poor cleaning habits, however, may cause discoloration, so monitor your cooking temperatures and clean the pots promptly–easy to do since the set is dishwasher-safe.

The smart design and construction of this set add other benefits: ergonomic handles allow easy gripping and balancing, and handles, lids, pots, and pans are oven-safe to 350 degrees, so cooking can be completed or foods warmed in the oven. Lastly, steam vents on the lids lock in steam when closed and prevent boilovers when open for maximum cooking control. One thing to note: the steam vents are tricky to open at first, so practice on room-temperature lids before using. –Emily Wolf

Canon Rebel 1100D/T3 – Best Beginner’s DSLR?

You’re poised on the precipice – ready to make the leap into the Digital SLR world of photographers. Now comes the biggest decision of your (photography) life. Which is the best beginner’s DSLR?If you are one of the majority who will make this decision, you are focusing on Canon or Nikon. That is not to say that there are not some great cameras made by Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, and the others. There certainly are super choices outside the Canon-Nikon domain. But the truth is that these two producers dominate the entry-level Digital SLR market.However, let’s get even more specific than Canon/Nikon and narrow the playing field to just the newest Canon release, the Canon Rebel 1100D (aka T3).You can get one of these cameras for just over $500, and if you think about the past few years, we are talking about a 50% reduction in price for a new digital SLR model. Compare that to the price you are paying for just about anything else (hint – gas for your vehicle).

Aside from price, just what is it that makes the Canon Rebel 1100D attractive to new buyers? Three things stick out like a sore thumb when comparing to most of the compact cameras you will be upgrading from.Canon Rebel 1100D VS Compact CamerasFirst and foremost is image quality. The APS-C image sensor in these cameras is gi-normous compared to the image sensor in compact cameras. Now, this is not comparing pixels. The number of megapixels could be the same. For instance, the Rebel T3 (1100D) has a 12.2 megapixel sensor, and that is the same number of pixels as the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, a very popular compact camera. But when you compare the size of the sensor, the APS-C sensor of the 1100D is more than 300 square millimeters, but the SX20 is a mere 30 square millimeters (keeping the number round). With some simple math, you can see that the larger sensor (APS-C) is 10 times bigger.Think about how much better the light capturing technology can be with that much more space. Each pixel can be much more efficient, thus giving much better image quality.The second benefit is Ease of Use. Camera producers have included many of the same settings and modes in both compact and beginner’s DSLR cameras, making the transition quite simple. The Canon Rebel T3 is very intuitive for new users, but perhaps the best feature of all in this respect is the “Feature Guide.” Each time you change or select a new setting, the Feature Guide on the LCD panel explains exactly what the feature does. This is very helpful for new users as well as users who do not memorize the camera’s full gamut of settings.

Third is Speed. The first thing most new users recognize is how fast their DSLR is compared to their old compact camera. For many it is practically a religious experience. They get giddy with joy in their photography experience. And that joy lasts. Each time you press the shutter button, the camera responds with speed and accuracy; quick focus and dynamic shutter speed.

The Secrets of Lens Hoods Explained

You must have seen the flower like contraption fixed in front of many telephoto lenses. Sometimes, u find them on normal lenses also; what do they do ? If you have had the chance to see a professional movie camera at work, you would have seen a device like an elephants ear fixed to the front of the camera; these are called matte boxes.Lens HoodsThe basic purpose of these devices are to prevent glare and lens flares. Now, coming to lens hoods, again, there are different variants. The basic variant is similar to a lamp shade; these are used on lens that work in higher parts of the tele zoom region; because the angle of vision is narrow at these regions, they wont cause vignetting by blocking the field of view of the lens . Now a days, we have lenses that can range from wide to telephoto regions. When using such a lens, we cant use the normal lens hoods because, they will cause vignetting by coming in the field of view of the lens.

Design ConsiderationsThis problem is solved by using specially designed lens hoods that are designed by taking into consideration the vertical and horizontal angle of vision separately. Usually, the horizontal angle of vision is greater than the vertical and sunlight coming from the vertical angle. This prompts for a design that is more like a petal or a flower. The hood for each lens needs to be designed by taking into consideration the angles of that lens to prevent vignetting. Lens hood also serve the purpose of protecting the lens from physical damage. Some lens hoods for prosumer camera models have the provision of fixing filters or teleconverters on them. In the world of macro photography, shorter lens hoods are available that have rings of LEDs fixed to them that enable proper lighting of the subject at close ranges. These hoods are extremely versatile and provide a better degree of freedom for the photographer. They sometimes have the battery packs etc integrated on them; this can some time make the camera a bit more front heavy affecting stability.Matte BoxThese are used mainly in the video segments than in the stills segment because, they give the ability to adjust the length of the fins. The fins are called French Flags and the ability to adjust the french flags give them a higher degree of freedom and flexibility. They are used in still photography also but less prominently and are mostly limited to controlled environments like a studio; this is mainly because of the big size of the matte box. They also serve the purpose of providing a place to fix glass or plastic filters. Matte boxes are used more in the video segment because, they are mostly shot in controlled environments. Matte boxes are sometimes made by the photographer himself to suite his needs. There are companies manufacturing them also and mostly, they are not camera or lens dependent because, they have adjustable components.

A hybrid of the two was developed that gave adjustable petals on a lens hood but, they did not do too well and have gone off the market now.So when buying a lens for your DSLR, it is recommended that you buy its lens hood also because, it does give you an advantage when shooting in direct sunlight. It will give you better contrast and your pictures will look more vibrant when you use lens hoods because, it prevents angular sunlight from falling on your lens’s front elements. The photo given below should explain better.

They keep you warm they are versatile and give your outfit an edge. Ok, so if you want to go with the ladylike vibe, then a pair of stacked heel loafers would be more in order.#8 A pair of leather gloves to keep your hands warm and which which look really sleek.

It looks elegant and keeps your neck warm. If your neck is short and you do look like a turtle in a turtle neck, then try a v-neck top but remember to wear scarves when you go out.

Refinancing Your House Mortgage – 3 Reasons to Refinance While Rates are Low

Before mortgage interest rates begin to rise, homeowners should
consider the advantages of refinancing now. Although we’re witnessing record low rates, these rates will not last forever. Unfortunately, many
homeowners will delay refinancing and miss out on the savings. There are many reasons to refinance. Here are the top three reasons to refinance while rates are low.Reduce Your Monthly Mortgage PaymentInterest rates greatly effect mortgage payments. Individuals with poor
credit can get approved for home loans. However, the lender will charge
higher fees or interest. If you receive a high interest rate, you may
pay a couple of hundred dollars more than a good credit applicant who
applied for the same mortgage amount.If you purchased your existing home with poor credit, refinancing for a
lower rate may decrease your monthly payments, especially if your
credit has improved. Obtaining a home loan is a great way to boost your
credit rating. In fact, many homeowners notice an increase in their credit
score after establishing a good payment history with their mortgage
lender. Thus, if you received a bad credit mortgage, make an effort to
better your credit, and then refinance for a low rate.Get a Fixed Rate Mortgage LoanFurthermore, many homeowners choose to refinance their existing
mortgage to take advantage of a low fixed rate. When interest rates were
higher, many home buyers opted for adjustable rate mortgages because they
carried lower rates. Although homeowners with an adjustable rate mortgage
also benefit from decreases in interest rates, these low rates are not
promised.Every so often, mortgage rates rise and fall. If rates begin to climb,
so do the rates for an adjustable mortgage. Hence, mortgage payments
will increase. To avoid increased payments, refinance and secure a low
fixed rate that will remain the same throughout the duration of the loan.Take Advantage of Cash-Out RefinancingCash-out refinancing is a very attractive feature to refinancing your
current home loan. With this option, you can refinance for a better
rate, and borrow from your home’s equity. At closing, you will be given a
lump sum of cash. Funds may be used to consolidate debts, remodel your
home, take a nice vacation, or pay for a child’s education expense.
