You've just polished off a tub of rocky road ice cream... at about 300 calories a scoop, you know you're in for some damage. But you can just burn that off on the treadmill, right? Wrong, according to a recent study led by Tim Church, director of preventive-medicine research at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge</a>. Previously sedentary, overweight or obese, postmenopausal women who upped the exercise ante did not lose as much weight as they should have. The reason? The women increased the number of calories they consumed, possibly to reward themselves. There are plenty of non-food ways to reward oneself, according to eHow member AbbyNormal.

Photographers develop their own specialties as they take more and more pictures. One of my favorite things is to take candid pictures of people on the street. Street photography was really defined by the famous French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson as he developed his concept of the decisive moment. The concept is that each photograph has one decisive moment for the perfect photograph. An illustration of this would be to think of a baseball player catching a ball. The decisive moment is just as the ball is entering his mitt; if it is still in the air, you don't know the outcome. If his mitt has already closed on the ball, it is too late; you missed the actual catch. In How to Do Street Photography discover street photography secrets, including how to be aware of that decisive moment.
