article: . Choose an appropriate mulch to help reduce erosion and suppress weeds. Organic, wood-based mulch will also retain moisture. As it decomposes, it will improve the soil over time, but it needs to be replaced regularly. A stone or gravel mulch, on the other hand, does not need to be replaced, but can retain a good deal of heat in sunny areas, which can damage delicate plants. Whichever mulch you choose, apply it to a thickness of 2-4 inches (510 centimeters) around shrubs, trees, and flower beds. Do not put it in direct contact with plant stems. Avoid plastic mulch and other mulch that does not allow water and air to pass through. Develop a water thrifty drip irrigation system if necessary to minimize evaporation and run-off. If using a sprinkler system instead, use low volume emitters, preferably with a rain sensor that automatically switches the sprinkler off on rainy days If you're watering by hand or using a timed watering system, water deeply and infrequently to encourage the development of deep roots that can make use of water in the soil. Always water between 6pm and 10am, to minimize loss from evaporation. Slow-release fertilizers are less effort for the gardener, and reduce the chance of over-fertilization. If you apply fertilizer in too large a quantity, you might be encouraging tall, straggly growth that root development cannot keep up with, making the plant more resource-intensive. Use organic composts and topdressing mulches as well. Regular maintenance is a core value of xeriscaping plans. Check on your garden often, and you'll be able to address problems before they get out of hand. Here are some basic tips to keep your garden attractive and maximize its water use: Remove weeds by hand before they get established. Reduce water and fertilizer if your plants have weak, straggly growth. When mowing your lawn, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass height, and use a sharp mower blade.

Try an advanced compact if you are an experienced hobbyist. Select a mirrorless camera for a compact with more creative control. Buy a DSLR for excellent image quality. Invest in a medium format if you need the highest quality available."
article: Point-and-shoot digital cameras are the most basic option available. They tend to be very small, lightweight, and relatively cheap. While point-and-shoot digital cameras contain only the most basic functions, they are very user-friendly and can capture quality images for personal use. Point-and-shoot digital cameras generally cost anywhere from $50 to $500. While there are plenty of point-and-shoot cameras on the market that can capture great personal images, these cameras don't allow for the creative control and quality needed for professional use. Zoom compact digital cameras are similar to point-and-shoot cameras in that they are small and generally affordable. Yet, unlike the most basic compacts, zoom compacts have a manual zoom option in addition to the basic automatic zoom. This allows users to capture clearer images at greater distances. Like point-and-shoot compacts, zoom compact digital cameras don't usually have an interchangeable lens option. Zoom compacts are great for personal use but are not for professional photographers. Most zoom compacts have a zoom range of 28-300 mm. These digital cameras usually cost between $150 and $500. Unlike point-and-shoot or zoom compacts, advanced compact digital cameras have both automatic and manual exposure and focusing modes. While more complex than most point-and-shoot and zoom options, these cameras are easy to use if you are a knowledgeable, more advanced hobby photographer. Advanced compact digital cameras generally take higher resolution pictures than other compact options. While most point-and-shoot cameras have a resolution of about 20 megapixels, for example, most advanced compacts have a resolution of about 45 megapixels. Many advanced compacts can support an external flash connection, giving you more control over what your images will look like. Advanced compacts generally cost about $400 to $1,000. Mirrorless compact cameras are named as such because they do not contain an internal mirror to reflect light to the sensor. Instead, the light goes in through the lens and hits the sensor directly, enabling users to get a digital preview of the image on the rear LCD screen. While mirrorless options are often as small, lightweight, and, in some cases, affordable as other compacts, many of these digital cameras have the capabilities required for professional use. Many mirrorless compacts enable you to have full creative control with manual modes, interchangeable lens, external flashes, large sensors, and a resolution of up to 45 megapixels. Be aware, however, that external lenses and flashes cost a minimum of $100. Mirrorless digital cameras usually cost between $400 and $4,000. Like some mirrorless compacts, digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are great for hobbyists and professionals alike. The majority of professional photographers choose DSLR cameras because they have the capability of supporting a wide range of lens and flash options and can support a large, full-frame sensor. Many professionals, however, are gravitating towards mirrorless compacts for their smaller, lightweight style. A large, full-frame sensor uses more light to create an image, which allows the camera to record more image information and ultimately produce better, clearer images. There is a very wide range in the quality of DSLR cameras and their corresponding parts, so make sure that you research the specific camera you are interested in. DSLR cameras can cost anywhere from $400 to $3,000. Medium format cameras offer the highest image quality available and with it, the highest price tag. For most professionals, the resolution and sensor size available with medium format cameras is unnecessary. If you work for a magazine or in advertising, where highly sophisticated imaging may be required, however, a medium format digital camera might be worth the investment. Medium format cameras range anywhere from about $7,000 to well over $50,000.

Place it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Remove it when the top is just starting to set and leaves a tight edge against the side of the pan. Try a sour cream layer for a big contrast. Place the gelatin in the refrigerator again for at least 20 minutes to let the second layer set. Spoon in the next layer and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Repeat spooning and refrigerating until you have used the last of your Jello mixtures.
