Alena and I took a day off from work and went together. They did a lot of scanning (45 minutes) and took a lot of pictures. We saw the face, little palms and feet, heart bit and something else.<br />
<br />
She confirmed it from 3 different angles and told us that we&#8217;re going to have a boy. When I asked if it was 100% certainty she said that they never give 100%, but she gave us 95%. Those are pretty good odds.<br />
<br />
Otherwise everything looks great. The heartbeat, the size, perfect. Needless to say we&#8217;re very happy. We&#8217;re going to have a son.]]></content:encoded>

Alena uses this case on her phone.<br />
<br />
This is my own personal opinion of the case and since I&#8217;ve never extensively used it myself treat it as such.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_back.jpg" rel="lightbox[2070]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_back-400x273.jpg" alt="Rear cover." title="Rear" width="400" height="273" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2072" /></a>I think it offers superior phone protection when compared to <a href="http://www.rubinary.com/2009/08/07/vaja-classic-retro-case/">my case</a> at least with regards to having all corners covered.<br />
<br />
The leather itself is soft and very pleasant to the touch, much nicer that the shiny plastic on iPhone itself.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bottom.jpg" rel="lightbox[2070]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bottom-400x261.jpg" alt="Bottom. The front cover swings down." title="Bottom" width="400" height="261" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2073" /></a>The screen is protected really well, but as you can see it doesn&#8217;t cover the bezels on the sides of the screen itself, which is a good thing &#8212; no issues using the screen near the edges.<br />
<br />
Originally I thought that it would be hard or impossible to open the case with one hand, but by now I have no issue with that &#8212; just takes a little bit of practice.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_open.jpg" rel="lightbox[2070]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_open-400x247.jpg" alt="Screen is fully covered when closed, yet easy to use when open." title="Screen." width="400" height="247" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2074" /></a>The phone in the case can not be docked, if that&#8217;s your thing.<br />
<br />
As you can see the wear shows after about 7 months of use, but Alena keeps it in her purse along with all other stuff. The wear however is purely cosmetic.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_top.jpg" rel="lightbox[2070]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/iphone_top-400x255.jpg" alt="Cosmetic wear on the sides. Access to the side buttons." title="Wear" width="400" height="255" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2075" /></a>The cost was $85. There are a lot of color choices for the case itself and for the central stripe. This case gets thumbs up from me. A very good, functional and stylish case by Vaja.<div class="footnotes-div"><hr /><ol class="footnotes"><li id="footnote_0_2070" class="footnote">I can&#8217;t link directly to the case because Vaja uses Flash on their site.</li></ol></div>]]></content:encoded>

Вчера же я ехала на работу с Ларой &#8211; девочкой из нашего подьезда, которая работает всего на одну остановку Path Train дальше меня. Ехали мы с ней вместе первый раз (надеюсь, не последний), и очень хорошо поболтали. Она-то и подкинула мне идею вчерашнего ужина &#8211; пастуший пирог.<br />
<br />
Звучит название весьма интригующе, а на самом деле блюдо представляет собой фарш, обжаренный с овощами и запечённый в духовке под шубой картофельного пюре. Простенько, но для будничного ужина очень даже хорошая идея (дёшево и сердито). Лара поведала мне рецепт, которым пользуется она, но я еще на всякий случай глянула на интернете &#8212; и <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/30-minute-shepherds-pie-recipe/index.html">вот этот рецепт</a> Рэйчел Рэй оказался очень похожим на Ларисин.<span id="more-2065"></span><br />
<br />
Что делала я. Обжарила одну среднюю мелкопорезанную луковицу на ложке растительного масла (минут 5), добавила в сковородку нарезаные грибы (небольшую коробочку) и пожарила их вместе с луком еще минут 5-7. Потом туда же добавила фарш (где-то 0.8 кг), соль, перец, кумин (зиру), пожарила минут 5, добавила туда немного белого вина, Worcestershire соус, порезанную мелкими кубиками морковку и пожарила всё вместе почти до готовности фарша. Забросила в сковороду пакетик замороженного горошка, пожарила еще 2-3 минуты.<br />
<br />
В это время сварилась картошка, которую я размяла в пюре (с молоком, яйцом и ложкой сметаны).<br />
<br />
Последний шаг &#8212; это выложить фарш в форму для духовки, а сверху накрыть шубой из пюре. Запекать при 365 F где-то 20 минут.<br />
<br />
Перед подачей посыпать петрушкой. Вкуснее это блюдо есть с томатным соусом для спагетти. <img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=")" class="wp-smiley" /> <br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/02/health/nutrition/02recipehealth.html">Рецепт</a> я вычитала в NY Times. Естественно, готового бульона  у меня не было, поэтому всё процедура выглядела примерно так.<span id="more-2063"></span><br />
<br />
Порезала куриные грудки на кубики, забросила в кастрюльку с подсоленой водой вариться вместе с луком, морковкой, сельдереем и зеленью. Минут через 20 после закипания воды достала оттуда овощи (они нужны были для придания ароматности бульону) и забросила туда мелко порезанные 2-3 стебля сельдерея, порезанную же белую часть от 2-х стеблей лука-порея, 3-4 порезанных тонкими ломтиками дольки чеснока, перец, сок 1 лимона и сырой рис (не помню стколько). Всё это добро на медленном огне должно повариться еще минут 20-30, после чего надо закинуть в суп нарезаный дольками молоденький зелёный кабачок и поварить еще минут 10. Проверить суп на соль, перец, кислоту, добавить мелконарезанную кинзу, дать закипеть, подождать еще минутку и выклучить огонь. Всё. Быстро, вкусно и полезно. <img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=")" class="wp-smiley" /> ]]></content:encoded>

First of all most of them has gotten into a much &#8220;apartment&#8221; friendlier range. 50mm acts as one, not as 75mm on DX. So is 105mm macro.

First of all most of them has gotten into a much &#8220;apartment&#8221; friendlier range. 50mm acts as one, not as 75mm on DX. So is 105mm macro. I&#8217;ve noticed it focusing much faster on the new camera as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wide1.jpg" rel="lightbox[2049]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wide1-400x262.jpg" alt="As wide as it gets. 10mm on 35mm sensor." title="Wide" width="400" height="262" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2051" /></a>Wide angle though is really something. It really is a DX only lens, hence the black circle. However 10mm on FX sensor is weirdly impressive. Talk about wide.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mega_cat.jpg" rel="lightbox[2049]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mega_cat-400x247.jpg" alt="The mega cat." title="" width="400" height="247" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2052" /></a>All the distortion also creates interesting effects. Here is a mega-cat for you. The camera actually has a DX mode which produces close to 6 mega-pixel images, same as D70 did. Or you can crop the circle out manually, which I prefer to do.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/meow.jpg" rel="lightbox[2049]"><img src="http://www.rubinary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/meow-400x261.jpg" alt="&quot;Meow. Let me sniff that lens.&quot;" title="Meow." width="400" height="261" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2053" /></a>And this one is a great shot. Too bad it&#8217;s not sharp. Shublik got extremely close to the camera to &#8220;distort&#8221; so much, but since it&#8217;s not a macro lens it doesn&#8217;t focus at such close distances.]]></content:encoded>
