The opensearch module provides define_opensearch_webjump, which is a function for defining a webjump from an opensearch description file. An opensearch description is a type of xml file which describes a search engine. It can be used in one of two ways.
define_opensearch_webjump("foo", make_file("/path/to/foo.xml"));
opensearch_load_paths.unshift(make_file("/path/to/search-engines")); define_opensearch_webjump("foo", "foo.xml");
1. opensearch_load_paths
This is an array of paths in which to search for opensearch description files. Every element should be an nsIFile. By default, a subdirectory called 'search-engines' will be sought first in your profile, then in Conkeror's modules directory. There happens to be a 'search-engines' subdirectory in Conkeror's modules directory, and it contains a few opensearch files.
2. define_opensearch_webjump
This is the function that defines a webjump, given an opensearch description file. It takes two arguments: webjump name and file name (or path). If an absolute path is given for the second argument (an nsIFile, naturally) that's that. If a string filename is given instead, opensearch_load_paths will be searched for that file.
3. Getting OpenSearch Descriptions
OpenSearch description files can be found in any number of places, but one large repository on Mozdev bears mention in particular. That is the Mycroft Project.
Note that Conkeror does not yet support installing search plugins by the method employed at that site. (We're looking into it though.) For the time being, however, you can get around this problem by substituting the id and name of the engine into the url: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/installos.php.html/ID/NAME.xml. These data can be found in the title and onclick attributes of links. If this all sounds over complex to you, don't worry, we'll have a better install method eventually.
It is also worth noting that a lot of opensearch description files out there don't include the definition for providing search suggestions. Look for <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" or <Url type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" in your files, and if they don't have it, a simple webjump will work just as well.

2012 Survey of the Afghan People- Washington, DC and Kabul Launches
On November 14, 2012, The Asia Foundation in Kabul and Washington DC released Afghanistan in 2012: A Survey of the Afghan People, its eighth annual survey of Afghan citizens across all 34 provinces. In June, a team of Afghan pollsters fanned out across the country to gather first-hand opinions from nearly 6,300 Afghan citizens. As the 2014 deadline nears for the transition of national security from NATO forces to Afghan control, The Asia Foundation survey reveals useful, policy-relevant information on security, reconciliation, unemployment, and governance.
Mark Kryzer, Country Representative, The Asia Foundation-Afghanistan; Palwasha Kakar, Survey Author and Senior Advisor, The Asia Foundation-Afghanistan; and Sunil Pillai, Technical Advisor, The Asia Foundation, presented key findings at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Watch here.
Abdullah Ahmadzai, Deputy Country Representative, The Asia Foundation-Afghanistan, and survey authors, Fazel Rabi Wardak, and Fazel Rabi Haqbeen led the presentation in Kabul.

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Saturday Sessions, a volunteer show hosted by Ryan "Rybo" Shore, is a musical discovery in the form of a genre-blurring free-for-all. You can expect to hear something different every week from jam bands, classic/modern/southern/desert rock, blues, bluegrass, jazz, electronic, classic R&B, folk, pop, classic country, soul, and any fusion thereof.
Saturday Sessions is broadcast live every Saturday evening from 5-7 pm on KYUK 640 AM or streamed live from our website, kyuk.org.
Your host, Ryan Shore:
Rybo developed an appreciation for music as a youngster. He played the trombone and tuba in the school band and, in more recent years, has collaborated for numerous gigs playing hand-percussion for Dub Acoustic, Fat Rabbit, and The Skeeto Valdez Jam Session.
Rybo loves that music is a never-ending search for more. You can learn so much about your favorite artists by uncovering their musical influences and then searching deeper for the chain of influence that leads back. This journey eventually reveals an amazing musical web that stretches in so many different directions.
Some of Rybo's favorite artists (which you will surely hear on Saturday Sessions) are: Phish, The Grateful Dead, The String Cheese Incident, Gov't Mule, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bassnectar, Incubus, Sublime, The Black Keys, Janis Joplin, Doors, The Allman Brothers Band, and Little Feat.
In the winter you can find Rybo skiing or snowboarding (yes, it is possible to love both), playing broomball at Pinky's Park, or possibly snuggled up with a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
Originally from Michigan (GO BLUE!), Rybo moved to Bethel last July. He intends on staying in Bethel as long as the folks here will keep him.

Sculpey® III Retro Pumpkin FigurineItem# 32053Create this retro looking pumpkin figurine with Sculpey® III polymer clay.
Getting Started
Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275°F (130°C) for 30 minutes per ¼" (6mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
Begin by preheating oven to 275°F (130°C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.
Step 1 The base is one package of unconditioned Sweet Potato clay.
Step 2 To create the shoes -- roll out two ¼" balls of black, then roll them into a rounded teardrop shape. Press gently onto the orange base.
Step 3 Cut two pieces of wire, approximately 4" each, and push each one of the wires into the shoes.
Step 4 Roll out ¼ package of Sweet Potato and ¼ package of black, approximately 3"x¼". Roll the two colors together, then twist them to "swirl" the colors. Roll out a smooth log, approximately 4" long. Cut into ¼" pieces and roll into smooth balls. Gently push each ball down onto the wire, one on top of each other.
Step 5 Bake as directed above. Let cool completely.
Step 6 To make the body, use ¾ of a package of Sweet Potato clay. Condition the Sweet Potato until it is warm and pliable and form into a rounded rectangle. Push this down onto the wire (above the beaded legs). Roll out four 1/8 inch balls of black clay and attach to the front of the body -- press gently. These are the buttons.
Step 7 Roll out ½ package of black clay, approximately 1"x1/8". Attach each one to each side of the body, making sure to slightly bend the arms at the elbows and then adhere the "hands" close to the bottom of the body.
Step 8 Push a toothpick about halfway down into the upper part of the body. This will secure the pumpkin head to the body.
Step 9 To create the head roll out a 1½" ball of Sweet Potato clay. Form into a fat circle. Press the head onto the toothpick. Using the craft knife, score vertical lines into the pumpkin.
Step 10 Flatten a one inch piece of black clay and using the craft knife, cut a zigzag smile about ¾" long. .
Step 11 The nose is a 1/16" ball of Sweet Potato. Gently adhere above mouth.
Step 12 Eyes are small round balls of black. Gently adhere to the face.
Step 13 Using a toothpick, drill a small hole at the top of the pumpkin's head.
Step 14 Bake as directed above. Let cool. Add of few drops of glue to the hole at the top of the head and insert the ostrich feather.
Step 15 Thin out some white glue with equal parts of water and brush onto the parts of the doll to adhere the glitter. While it is still wet, sprinkle black glitter and mica flakes. Let dry.

Solar box cookers and solar panel cookers normally do not need to be turned to follow the sun unless you are cooking beans or an especially large amount of food. They may need to be moved once over a three or four hour cooking period. However, parabolic solar cookers require constant reorientation with the sun to remain effective cookers. If tracking the sun is necessary, some of the ideas below will serve this purpose.
350px|none|See Tracking Solar Accumulating Barbecue.
Scheffler Community Kitchen clockwork tracking system
Simply Solar provides explanation of their various tracking systems at Scheffler tracking systems. The mechanical system incorporates a clockwork mechanism, and often uses recycled bicycle parts. It is run by a weight and controlled by a pendulum. Resetting the reflector back from the evening position to the morning position is done by hand. They also offer photovoltaic options as well.
Programable tracking systems
Still in its infancy, programable tracking systems are being developed with software to not only rotate the reflector to maintain maximum exposure to the sun, but to also control cooking time and desired temperatures.
Photovoltaic tracking systems
A clever system has been developed by several designers, which uses two photovoltaic panels configured to maintain an even balance of power to a small electrical turntable motor. The required photovoltaic panels typically are fairly small, and are placed side by side, but at slightly different angles to face the sun. As the sun moves across the sky one panel will begin to receive less direct sunlight.
The resulting electrical imbalance causes the dominant panel to engage the motor. The turntable will rotate until both photovoltaic panels face the sun equally, and the motor disengages. The simple system can be fairly lightweight for rotating a box or panel cooker. However, a larger parabolic solar cooker, which will benefit the most from a good tracking system, will require a stronger motor and larger panels to rotate the cooker.
More information about the system designed by Marian Popescu can be found at DIY solar tracking system

New Retail Channel ClimateStore.com Becomes a Carbonfree® Partner
ClimateStore Inc., located in Boston, MA, officially became a Carbonfree® Partner with CarbonFund.org. The newly launched retail brand has a mission to make it fun and easy for people to reduce their carbon footprint, and launched its on-line brand, climatestore.com, this past Earth Day. The company seeks to close a gap in the retail space, namely, the lack of an easily recognizable retail brand focused entirely on climate change.
ClimateStore hopes to tap into a growing market of climate conscious consumers, and carbon offsets play an important role in its sustainability strategy. To help realize its mission, ClimateStore purchased offsets from a portfolio of reforestation and forest conservation projects to offset emissions from its operations including energy use at its offices, freight and parcel shipping, employee commutes, and business travel. The company also relies on partnerships with like-minded organizations, like Carbonfund.org and 1% for the Planet, to support climate change awareness programs and forest conservation initiatives.
"With the recent release of the latest UN IPCC report and U.S. National Climate Assessment, there can be no doubt this is a critical issue current for future generations. More people are asking what they can do to reduce their carbon impact" says Steven E. Bushnell, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of ClimateStore Inc. "There is a false perception that moving to a lower carbon economy will require giving things up or need extra effort. We take the opposite view; lowering one's carbon footprint should be fun, easy and rewarding as we collectively secure the stable climate we all hope to live in."
The ClimateStore.com website provides summaries of climate science, issues an urgent call for action, suggests plans to reduce personal carbon emissions, and provides products to help people achieve a lower carbon footprint. The company launched with about 250 carbon saving products, including: energy efficient lighting, water saving devices, smart home technology, home décor, laundry items, travel gear and accessories. Each product is evaluated by ClimateStore staff to identify exact how it saves carbon - including the production, use, and disposal phases of the product's lifecycle - and communicate their findings with a simple icon system and detailed product descriptions.
Robinson Smile Center Creates Beautiful Smiles to Last a Lifetime and is Committed to CarbonFree® Operations
Yes, even your dentist can make a difference in the fight against the negative effects of climate change. Green dentistry is "a high-tech approach that reduces the environmental impact of dental practices and encompasses a service model for dentistry that supports and maintains wellness." Green dentistry helps dental professionals protect the health of patients and the planet by implementing energy saving technologies that improve dental care efficiency and effectiveness, as well as improving the financial health of dental practices.
New CarbonFree® Business Partner Robinson Smile Center recognizes the opportunities to improve the sustainability of its dental practice, but also acknowledges the limitations.
"Dentistry is inherently wasteful due to the requirements for patient and employee safety. This makes it challenging but even more necessary to excel in other ways to be more environmentally conscious and active," explains Jason Luchtefeld, DMD. "Carbonfund.org allowed us an avenue to offset emissions from some of the areas that are not currently available for us to change any other way."
Robinson Smile Center offers general dentistry for the entire family and centers its practice on establishing patient relationships based on trust and respect. The practice utilizes energy efficient lighting throughout its offices. Next month, they will be installing a new DryVac system to reduce power and water consumption dramatically. The office maintains a strong recycling program for cardboard, plastic and paper, and uses recycled or biodegradable products when possible. These initiatives, along with CarbonFree® operations, place Robinson Smile Center in the forefront of green dentistry practices.

- Taking a position: visuality and sensation in the work of Andrew Leslie
- Author(s)
- Barnes, Carolyn
- Abstract
- Traces of minimalism-conceptualism's redefinition of the work of art as analytical proposition converge in Andrew Leslie's recent works, which are best described as hybrid painting-objects. Each is comprised of a bundle of narrow, factory-made lengths of aluminium. Only when installed as a rectangle of closely spaced, vertical units on the (gallery) wall do they become a 'painting', highlighting the interconnected role of architecture and conventions of media as agents of artistic definition. The back of each set of lengths is painted with a single, yellow word on a blue ground. The slightly v-shaped, front face of each length is left plain. An observant viewer, however, will notice that some painting has taken place since Leslie isn't concerned to mask the thin edges of the aluminium units to keep them free of paint. The ragged marks left by the painting process signal that each work is a pictorial object not a readymade, much as Daniel Buren---an artist of significance for Leslie---consistently painted the outer bands of the striped fabric he used in his extended cycle of works exploring how the readymade had affected the possibilities for painting.

If you're having trouble against Carbuncles, I imagine you'd have no less trouble with files like Guardian, Sea Serpents, and EX Lap.
Carbuncles are in many ways more vulnerable than those files, considering how weak they become once their vulnerable supports get taken out. Or once you manage to take out the 3rd copy of anything.
Also, you guys are really overrating Amethyst Eater by a ton. She's possibly the most useless member of the file. Against any competent file, you'll be stuck doing 10 dmg with that actionskill every turn. I personally knocked her down to a single copy in my build.

Please watch my nikon d5200 video test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjzIJ1Hxgxs
Just Posted: Nikon D5200 in-hand preview. We've been able to spend some time with Nikon's latest mass-market DSLR - the 24MP D5200. At first glance it's nearly indistinguishable from its predecessor, the D5100, but beyond the sensor, it also gains the 39-point AF system and 2,016 pixel metering sensor from the D7000. This represents a significant step up for this class of DSLR. It also has the option to join the 'connected camera' set, with the option of a clip-on Wi-Fi unit. Is this enough to keep the D5200 relevant amongst its smaller mirrorless rivals?

Please watch my nikon d5200 video test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjzIJ1Hxgxs
What's intriguing right now is that Nikon has specifically stated that the sensor is different from the D3200... If so, is it from Aptina? The D3200 sensor performance has been quite impressive in many a site test and on a personal note, the noise performance is similar to my 550D. During post-processing however (DxO), the D3200's DR pulls significantly ahead of my Canon's and I'm curious how this slightly bigger sensor on the D5200 fares in these regards.
D5200 will inherit documentation errors from its 5100 predecessor ?
- DPR D5100 specification about AE Bracketing is correct when it says: "3 frames up to +/–2EV" but Nikon manual (depending on which page), most Internet sites and books are not (that +/-2 EV bracketing is useful for HDR only certainly explains this error was not corrected.)
- No matrix metering mode available in Live view mode! In the so called matrix metering mode, camera selected exposure varies widely when moving the red color focus selection square on the LCD screen. For example there is a 5 (five) EV difference when, in Live view mode, I move said focusing red square from the left to the right of the LCD screen without changing the framed area... (quite hopefully the displayed image varies accordingly and most users probably use the exposure correction to compensate for that.)
[...] I would say that Live view, tough it can be used for photos and must be used for video mode, is not properly covered in the D5100 documentation. There are actually three 5100 cameras:
- a viewfinder camera
- a Live view camera
- a video camera
As a result, the writing of the corresponding manual is not an easy task...
An example of wrong documentation is found in page 105 of the Reference manual which says about Live view mode: "To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eye cup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap before shooting."
Hello Nikon, the above sentence is just wrong WHEN SHOOTING IN LIVE VIEW MODE, you should use a powerful LED lamp to verify that (as I did) !
Please, D-Preview, switch back to DP-Review!
Most previews will be turned into reviews - they're the beginning of the process.
No camera reviews were interrupted to make this preview - a lens review might be a few days later than it would have otherwise been, but none of the three camera reviews being worked-on were delayed.
Except a Pentax, of course.
Yes, this preview was helpfulll because of at this time not published Auto-OSI function. This is a key point for me if compared with the D5100.
Please continue with the previews. We get value out of them.
Please stop with the previews. Just wait until you are done with it, and publish. We can wait.
DPR has been doing previews for years. When there is a new gear announcement, it's interesting to see what it offers vs the old model. If you don't find it interesting, nobody is forcing you to click.
Please do not tell them how to do their job. Some of us value that they put out an early preview before the full review. If you care so much, please run the site yourself
Seriously, when does Nikon starts thinking about furnishing a new kit lens for that sensor. This 18-55 is a bit crappy and starts taking dust. A new, better kit lens could be one more reason for old customers to change to a new body
The 18-55 lens is "a bit crappy"? No, the kit lens is sharp (and light). It's a great value imo.
If the kit lens that come with the 24MP D3200 is any indicator... um, for that resolution, it IS crappy.
there is an important rule: never buy a camera that has a lens in the package. not only because those lenses could be crap, but most importantly, if they have to give you a lens to a camera body the body itself was made for customers that have no clue about lenses, so they simply wont buy a camera where a part is "missing"
better invest in pro gear and skip two generations than buy consumergear and rebuy the same plastic over and over again
If you look at the 18-55 VR MFT tests, if actually is one of the better kit lenses (see Photozone) But with resolution increases, you can get extreme corner softness.
But Nikon has tons of excellent DX zooms, and many, like the 18-105 VR, are too much more expensive than the 18-55 VR. The 16-85 VR is a bit more, but superb.
Unless you absolutely must have a zoom, I'd be inclined to use a 35 1.8 or 40 2.8 Macro, 50 1.8G, and 85 1.8G. Grab a Tokina 11.16 2.8 for ultra wide and you'll be set.
All what you claim and say is what I know and what I do. But, this is not an excuse to sell those cameras with a high resolution sensor with a kit lens that is not able to follow the resolution needs. So, best is to sell body only and leave people buy a lens to their choice. For sure, you have that option, but, the newbie has the same right to get a lens in the kit that suits the needs of the camera's sensor, and the 18-55VR doesn't. I ow the lens, so I know what's about. And, I ow the sensor as well in my NEX-7. I use all Nikon lenses with adapter and I can tell you that i avoid to publish what the 18-55VR does with it. I use at regular basis the 11-16 and 12-24 Tokina. The 12-24 is up to 98% sharp to all edges in the 4 corners while the 11-16 is a bit softer while sharper in the center as the 12-24. But, the 12-24 remains my favorite lens on the NEX-7.
because the kit lens is useful for beginners who want to buy into a system, who aren't really aiming to become pro's.
there's this thing called market segmentation...
I agree with Alizarine
Myself (=not a sophisticated photographer), I have a Nikon D5000 and I am potentially interested in a hypothetical future D7100 (not for the amount of Pixels; but for a even better auto-focus, an even better metering, an even better dynamic Range, perhaps also because of an in-camera HDR option, ....).
And I am quite happy for my own purposes with the ***quality*** of the kit lense. I nevertheless bought my D5000 without kit lense but with a 28-200mm Nikor Zoom lense - not because of quality issues with the kit lense but because I want to have and use just one lense without the need to switch often between lenses.
Yes, there is a market segmentation.
The body/lens kit vs body only is usually only a $50 difference, so you are essentially getting the 18-55 VR for next to nothing. You can use it at f8 and be happy or pixel-peepers can sell it on Ebay for a profit. Don't see what the big deal is.
Remember when 35mm SLR's used to come with a good 50mm prime lens as the "kit lens"?
With these 24mp APS-C cameras maybe Nikon should offer the 35mm 1.8 as a kit lens - it would match the capability of the sensor a bit better.
Did I miss something or ...
Why not wait a few days more and add the studio test samples ?
Or is this another (pre)review that comes in small doses ?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
It's never good...if it's early it's not good, if it's late it's not good, if it's only a preview it's not good, if the preview is too long it's no good, if the preview is only a few pages it is no good, if it are preview samples only outside a studio it is not good...
They (always) add the studio samples later.
Thank you, M. Lammerse, for your comment. At last someone has the correct answer for these continuously whining sticklers/nagers/carpers/cavillers.
youre wrong
dont type everything down that comes to your mind, especially not in forums, its annoying
For me a site like this is made to inform us about new stuff, even if the information is an advanced one and only partial.I find this short review or preview useful and well done. Only thing is that those who claim DPR to be fast on Nikon stuff and late on Pentax for example are right as well. DPR should treat all brands the same way, and it is obvious that they are voracious on Nikon, Canon as second and Fuji and Sony as third, after that comes a larger blackout. The Test of the K30 proves this in a clear way. But, this is not only the case for DPR, other sites do this as well, and it looks sometime like the Canikon stuff was all that is important in this world.
How interesting is that... other cameras have to wait half a year to get reviewed, and as soon as the latest Canikon comes out, there's a six page "spread" on it the day after. Why don't we just kill all the other manufacturers and close this site down? Not much need for reviews then... Short-sighted much?
It's quite simple, really. If the order and time frame within which DPReview puts out its work (FREE to you) on selected cameras is offensive to your sensibilities, start your own review website.
You can then bring out reviews of cameras and brands in any order and time frame that assuages the stress you are being put under by DPReviews editorial time lines.
I joined this web in order to get info, believing in this hub. So my sensitivities are also questioned. Its more about feedback I suppose.
Websites like this are powerful marketing, so free to me, to you...? We shape our "shopping ideas" based on info and speed of info which comes to us.... That would be somewhere in book of marketing basics.
Marketing basics: product reviews are indirect marketing that can be good or bad for a product depending on the outcome. DPR is not a marketing company, though some of their activities can translate into marketing for manufacturers (e.g. posting a product launch report).
DPR has to take limited resources (which we didn't pay for) and apply them in a way that allows them to meet their objectives - which I am fairly certain is not marketing for someone else.
DPR must choose how to invest its TIME to review/preview products (a resource limited in supply based on the amount of workers they have, and pay for - Economics 101)
Given scarce resources, where do you think it makes the most sense to spend them? In products with limited market appeal (the reason for the limited market appeal is irrelevant) or those that will appeal to the broadest market bringing in the most views?
It requires a balance, but it is never going to be in favor of some obscure or small market share brands.
There's a whole lot more to it.
In order to get a quick review... three different things need to happen at the same time. Like a "perfect storm."
1. It must be a camera that a lot of readers are interested in
2. A copy must be available for Dpreview to test
3. Dpreview must have the labor available to test it.
The one factor that really doesn't matter is "Amazon sells it" because Amazon will gladly sell you any camera made. And they will make a profit on it, no matter which brand it is.
Dpreview has absolutely no incentive to push one brand over the other, and even if they wanted to do this, it would only destroy their credibility.
If they review a lot of Canons and Nikons... it might be because those companies combine for an 80% market share.
not true of all Canikon cameras, I still await the 1DMKIII review.
@Marty4650: Market share should have nothing to do with it. I come here for impartial reviews. If I want to know market share, I can look up the sales rank on amazon.
@HDF2: "Free to you." Not really because there's advertising *and* they're owned by amazon, as Marty rightly points out. This would make one naturally sceptical, especially considering that margins will differ between camera models!
@emtx: Right on.
"Market share" means who sells the most units.
Whoever sell the most units has the most customers, and therefore the most Dpreveiew readers. This is why there are six Nikon forums here, five canon forums here and only two for Pentax and Olympus.
Dpreview is a business that wants more more people visiting this site so they can charge more for advertising here. They would be crazy to NOT give some priority to the most popular brands.
Reviews of the popular brands are of value to more readers. All the people (many) who are already considering buying the latest Canikon model come here to see how it rates. If the review is up quickly, more readers benefit, and so does dpr. I guarantee 'Minor Brand Camera Reviews' would not prosper, however educational it might be to a small number of enthusiasts.
@Marty6450 and MarkInSF: It's really sad that neither of you seem to realise you are directly arguing against the purpose of a review site, and making yourselves pawns of the Canikon marketing departments. Keep going just like that, they love you guys. And your carelessly spent money.
@Paradigm Changer
No one is anyone's pawns. It is not DPRs fault the market is dominated by Nikon and Canon but it is and they would be stupid to pretend other wise. Why is it so hard for you to understand that it is in DPRs best interest to cover the cameras that have the widest audience first. It is also better for their readers if DPR covers the cameras most of them are interested first.
@ HDF2 and MARTY
Nikon D5200 is mid range camera according to Nikon.co.uk and Nikon,cz and not entry level with amazing something....
Undirect marketing is one of the best marketing you can do in this case.
If you are independent you do not care who sells most cameras, you focus on best what is out there. At it might be Nikon, Pentax or Smena.
If you are based on market behaviour, you are biased. I am sorry.
If you talk about irrelevant market share of camera brand - you talk about irrelevant brand - thats statement with emotional quality - therefor non objective, therefor biased.
PS: look also for another reaction and also from Nikon users.
(...)This represents a significant step up for this class of DSLR. (...)
It's funny to see that you didn't make the same statement about the K30, which offers more than a d5200...
For example for the K30 test, you wrote :
(...)Other than that the layout of the camera's top-controls is fairly standard, with an exposure compensation button behind the shutter button, and both front and rear control dials.(...)
Two dials controls are standards on a sub 1000$ camera ? Really ? ;)
(...)the K-30 offers a large and bright viewfinder image that is on par with its peers in the enthusiast DSLR bracket of the market. (...)
100% K30's viewfinder is on par with it's sub 1000$ peers ? Seriously ? :)
So, a camera with two dials , weather sealing and a 100% viewfinder is on par with sub 1000$ cameras, but the D5200 is a signifant step up for this class of DSLR...
Even as a Nikon owner I reacted in the same way, K-30 biggest and only fault is that it does not say Canon or Nikon on it. How come that it did not win gold in its class considering what it offers is beyond me and many out there.
Nightwings, when i compare the pictures i can achieve with my irrelevant Pentax stuff to your pics made with some amazing Nikon cameras,i am confident about the Pentax quality :)
Thank you for the good laugh anyway !
"is on par with its peers in the enthusiast DSLR bracket of the market."
DPR were comparing K-30 to enthusiast-level cameras like 60D, D7000 and K-5. D5200 is an upper entry-level camera, and is not considered one of K-30's peers.
"So, a camera with two dials , weather sealing and a 100% viewfinder is on par with sub 1000$ cameras, but the D5200 is a signifant step up for this class of DSLR..."
No, it's on par with enthusiast-level cameras. D5200 is entry-level, and represents a step up for that class.
I think the low price of the K-30 confuses many people into thinking it belongs in the same class as D5200 and the Canon Rebels, but feature-wise it really belongs to the enthusiast bracket, which was what DPR meant by its peers.
Amazing, I own Pentax and Canon and Nightwings you are exactly right. No contest. I am hoping Ricoh does a good job. But these guys that comment on the superiority of Pentax is just wrong. To the customer and to Pentax in general.
Price wise, the K30 is almost in the same leagues as the D5200 (D5200 being more expensive).
Thus you cannot compare the K30 to much more expensive cameras like D60, 7D or D7000. The K-5 is meant to compete with those cameras.
Instead, in the K30 you get a large view finder, dual control wheels, weather sealing, in body stabilization and the flexibility of using both lithium proprietary battery and AA batteries.
Regarding AF, dpreview says "Autofocus acquisition is usually extremely fast and positive, with both Pentax' SDM models and conventional lenses.".
@ nightwing
If you really wanna shoot quality video, get a real video camera or at least 5d Mark II. Well, are you shooting pro movies, which gets pro display that you need Full HD 50/60fps (and I do not mean Full HD TV or beamer in living room)
I class cameras for what they cost. In other words I look for what I get for money. So 5200 is upper entry, 3200 is lower entry and D 7000 is? So far I had feeling that 3200 is entry, 5100 is mid and D 7000 is advanced. (That would make a common sense.)
If I am correct 5200 has only 9 cross types AF points...exactly like K 30. Antiquated in both case. Wonder what you are shooting that phase detect in 6fps/continuous 9 Raw of Pentax would not be enough. Are you all sport profi photographers?
Look at flexibility Raw files of K 30 and compare shots of KIIs with Canon 5D mark III.....
Ok,i read my previous comment now, this is stupid and i regret to have posted that.
Sorry about that Nightwings, i have no excuse. If i could edit, i'll remove it.
Maybe a moderator can remove my previous comment ?
Well, too late, i'll not retire my appologies :)
Sometimes, camera related stuff makes me a little bit enraged and outragious... But hey, i'm a Pentax user, and if i don't want to have to sell all my lenses because of a hypothetical Pentax's bankruptcy, i have to convert some new guys to Pentax..
I mean, if the Pentax crowd doesn't make some advertising for that brand, who gonna make it ? Pentax themself ? :)
But you should definitively try a K30 or a K5 with a good lens mounted on it, it's really not that bad.
Best regards, et bonnes photos à vous !
The 100% Pentaprism VF, class leading IQ and high ISO, and dual command alone make the K-30 a better camera than the D3100 or T3i class of camera for photography. Add weather sealing you have a blowout for the K-30. The slightly lower video specs of the K-30 is not enough to keep it from a Gold Award, IMHO.
K-30's lower price is, I think, just a result of Pentax' smaller market share. In this way of thought, Nikon and Canon are, in a way, with more freedom to make whatever they want and sell it at whatever price they decide. So if the same K-30 was Canon or Nikon-branded, it would have been with a way higher price tag, wouldn't it?
My Nikon D40 has only 3 AF points and guess what, I never missed on shot with it, focusing is perfect in all situations, choosing right, left or center. This 50 and more focusing point stuff is all you dream about, the time you need to set the point where you want sharpness, the caravan has passed by and the dogs keep barking.
Seems to me that you all shoot portrait or publicity set-ups for the local supermarket pub folder.
How do you define a camera's class anyway? By specs, by model level, or price?
In the case of Pentax's lineup (currently, there are, AGAIN, only TWO in production, the IIs is just an alternate)
The K-30 stands for every Canon and Nikon model below the 7D and D7000.
how come my comment's disappeared about this ? ,, .. what was wrong with it ?..
Your comment is in the preview, where you left it. (Not this news story about the preview).
indeed, .. thanks R Butler
Is a 6-page preview really necessary for a camera that is the same as the D5100 except it added last year's 24 MP Sony sensor and the two-year-old D7000's autofocus?
It depends. If you don't currently have a DSLR, then the likelihood is that you'll want to know as much as possible about this and the Canon EOS 650D.
It's not very exciting if you've followed the progress of Nikon models but it has a lot of features that used to only come in $1200 cameras, in a sub-$1000 camera so, if you're looking for a new camera, it's probably rather interesting.
@R.Butler: responded like a sir !
Responded like a gentleman. But I'm not sure why he bothered considering the absurdity of the complaint. DPR is a free website. If people don't like the content they don't have to click, but I'm certain that Nikon users and camera aficionados alike enjoy these previews. Besides, DPR always incorporates Preview content in their Full Reviews. It's beyond me why anyone not paying for the bandwidth would object.
responded like a boss.
Hopefully, with god's grace, this little SLR will become the first Nikon to be trouble free(leaking oil, soft left eyeball AF, flimsy doors, green LCD, unconfident AF system....etc). Also, hopefully they figured out high ISO DR after implementing so many generation of various sensor designs in(D3200, D5200, D600, D800, D4) and from third vendors.......Come on Nikon, I'm cheering for you, you can finally BEAT Canon's ancient 10 years old sensory tech in 100% crop side by side comparison. Go Nikon, Go Nikon, Go Nikon.....you can do it!
worst attempt at trolling EVER
Wow, you sound miserable as a Canon user. Photography can't be fun for you if you spend SO much time worrying about competitors offerings.
As far a trouble free my D800 has zero problems and outperforms my previous Canon 5D2 in every way. With the D800, D4 and D600 Nikon has 3 straight home runs.
Lol! catch up to Canon's sensors indeed. Did you know that a drawing of the Canon 18mp sensor was discovered inside one of the pyramids at Giza?
@ Shunda77
Beste Comment ever! As a Canon Fanboy i consider buying a Nikon next to my Gear.
And im gonna post this comment on Facebook!
"Did you know that a drawing of the Canon 18mp sensor was discovered inside one of the pyramids at Giza?"
"Sounds like your copy of your chosen Nikon fell off the truck and rolled several times. My recently purchased D5100 and D7000 prior to that work fine. :)"
It seems to me that so many Nikon cameras fall off from the truck in those days. Go and read user comments, look comments at sellers, like Adorama, for example. I had good working and flawless Nikon cameras, but I got also a few that where replaced after a few returns of the same body. Considering Nikon prices, this can happen, but not as much as it does.
Got my D5100 yesterday for US$429.00, which may be half of the price of its successor. Why not just go for the D7000 instead of D5200? Just thinking...
Because the D5200 price will always drop (just as the D5100's did from its initial price of $899 with kit lens).
Yeah, true that. The D7000 can be found for US$789.00 (body only) and would be my choice if I needed an upgrade. A lot of people might disagree due to its new sensor. The D5200 looks like a great package anyway, something Canon... Well, nevermind.
Carlos, $789 is almost surely a refurbished model. You can however get a brand new D7000 now for around $950, as it has a $200 instant rebate on it.
You can play this game all day.....Why not get a D90, D80, or maybe even a Film camera with 50 rolls of film for $300 bucks. The D5200 is a new camera and new cameras almost always sell at retail for 4-6 months.
thanks for sharing, bro! cool story!
The D5200 has new features, which is why it cost more!
You pay new features eternally. All I need is a viewfinder, a correct lens and the button to press on for shooting. On the back I want a focusing area selection, focusing mode selection and a navigation pad. All the remaining like inside rework and fancy modes is for me crap i pay for and never use. I do not even need a preview of my shot, I never look at them. I can anyway shoot 50 or more shots of the same subject with different settings, it cost nothing more. Photo cameras are following the same path than Microsoft Word text editor, you pay a lot, you pay a lot, and you use a little bit. I call that waste money.
It's clear that more and more that even these lowly offerings from Nikon look better than cameras many times their price from Canon. I'm willing to bet the image quality out of this is BETTER than the grossly overpriced 5DIII. Wait a couple of months and the 5200 will look like an incredible bargain...
Maybe at low ISOs, but at high ISOs, any modern full frame camera is going to have an edge over any APS-C camera.
they will, that is simple to explain, a 36 mpix FF has the same basic resolution as a 18 mpix APSC. If Sony was concentrating today on developing a new 12 mpix APSC device, it would be as good and even better than a 24 mpix FF in high ISO ranges. Wait till the 52 mpix sensor from Sony sees the day, that will be soon, and you will see that high ISO range is comparable to today's 24 mpix APSC chip. There are physical limits, we can do better ASIC soft, but there will remain physical limits, and cheating has it's limits too.
Let's not get carried away. The 5DIII is still a quality FF still camera, and also a wonderful video camera. I agree about the price, but let's be fair.
I beg to differ. I'm ready and willing to take that challenge - I bet I can produce a real world image from a 5200 and a 5DIII from an idenical scene and no one on here will be able to tell the difference.
That's a pretty foolhardy challenge. the logic is just not there. Fail.
Wow, you're truly a gear sucker Edward. If you can't make a high quality artistic image with a camera like the 5200 with a latest sensor, you need some photography lessons. I run some workshops you might want to sign up to... What is even funnier is you appear to shoot with the Canon 7D. Do you also believe that you could tell the side by side difference between that and the 5DIII? lol. I suggest you save your money if you're thinking about upgrading.
"For video shooters the D5200 can record Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies at up to 60i or 50i (when set to NTSC and PAL respectively), although this uses a central crop of the sensor area (~1.25x)."
So for video shooters it's sensor is as big as m43, and the crop factor is the same. Thanks for heads up!
How Sony is able to work with the whole sensor in NEX-7, A65 and A77?
The D5100's video AF function was a big sluggish and emitted a zip or scratch sound picked up by the audio. Is the D5200 any different?
The built-in intervalometer is a nice feature.
AF noises during video mainly are dependent on the lens, not the camera. If you really want fast, silent AF during video, you probably shouldn't be buying an SLR.
Aren't some lenses designed to have "silent AF"? How about the newer lens sold with the T4i? Or how about various lenses for the mirrorless models? Couldn't a DSLR have silent AF while in video mode? Why was the D5100's video AF not silent?
My small Canon ZR-600 camcorder had buttons and a small joystick built into the swiveling screen that I found very useful back in the day. I think the D5200 could've benefited from that.
From press release "following the D5000 and the D5100, the Nikon D5200 offers a massive leap in image-quality"
So the sensor that was introduce in Sep 2010 with overall DXO 80 score is replaced with a new one that will be a generation ahead. It should reach almost FF performance in order to stand the claim "massive leap"
You're saying a press release contains hyperbole?
I'll investigate immediately.
Looks like the possibly-hyperbolic press release is still resolutely where we put it then
The D5000 DXO score I'm reading (http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Nikon/D5000) is 72, D5100 scored 80. If D5200 offers a "massive leap" over its predecessors, the score should be at least between 82 (D3s) and 89 (D4). Let's see if D5200 holds its claims.
The sensor is basically the same as the NEX-7 sensor. Nikon has the choice to order them with different managing features. All depends of how they use the pipelining features of the sensor. Remember D200, that, despite it was the same sensor as D60, had a different managing of the data. D200 used the RGB and B&W separately and the image was a ton better, but it could not prevent noise to show up beyond 800 ISO. You can get a better and more accurate color spectrum by that, better sharpness, but you can't affect noise with it, and, the 24 mpix Sony APSC sensor is a noisy sensor. All is about how good the cheating Expeed3 soft is to reduce visible noise, or better said, to hide it.
Thank you Richard Butler and Andy Westlake for your comments.
Any manufacturer will put such words in an official press release.
The best DX camera in the world so far? Probably.
Doubt it. It still lacks in ergonomics.
I think the Pentax K30 is a more complete package.
We still have to see the performance of the sensor whereas the 16mpx the K30 uses is a well proven one (K-5; D7000).
Lol, does it focus or will we have to wait for the K30 II, two years from now ?
Naah..! I'd get the original... Sony A77, with the awesome OLED EVF as a bonus!
nope, the d300s is the best dx cam
a77 is no dslr if it has an oled evf, if youre interested in dslrs you for sure dont want an evf ^^
In the mean time, with the exception of adding some autofocus pixels, the sensor of the Canon T4i/650D is three years old. Nikon seems to be moving faster than Canon.
There also the touch screen... once youve used it you realize that this is the way to go. People are so used to touch screen phones now they intuitively start navigating the T4i with little to no help
The touch screen isn't a magic bullet. Keeping the screen on drains battery power, and the touchscreen can't be seen or used with the camera up to your eye. With a heavy lens attached (one that you want to support with your left hand), using the touch screen requires you to leave the shooting position.
Four way controllers and interactive screens are already very intuitive, and well placed buttons allow far faster access to settings. I don't think many people would value a touch screen more than better autofocus and image quality.
You have to consider the target market for this camera. The Rebel is for soccer moms and dads and people stepping up from the camera phone. The touch screen is what they know and keeps them in their comfort zone. It decreases the intimidation factor of the dslr. BTW, let me tell you, it is way faster than buttons and dials. Why navigate to a button and select it when you can just touch it?
Dont believe me? Here is what DPReview says:
"It should be clear already that we're quite impressed with Canon's touchscreen implementation on the 650D. The screen is responsive, supports common smartphone-style gestures and has been integrated with the icon design in a way that makes touchscreen use both intuitive, and in many cases more efficient the the camera's traditional controls... ...Even if you're not a smartphone aficionado, the touchscreen can, in many instances offer a faster way to work.
The "target market" must be people who follow the pre-Slavonic or Babylonian calendar, which observed year-end festivities in what would now be February. Otherwise, why would Nikon announce the camera now, but not sell it in the US until 2013, and completely miss out on December sales?
I agree that the touch screen can be useful.
However, I don't see the touch screen as a big enough factor to counter the D5100's superior sensor and autofocus.
Also, note that the reception to smartphones and other touch screen devices has not been entirely positive (especially for people with big fingers). And about the intimidation factor...having a touch screen won't help if the user isn't familiar with what the settings on the screen do.
a touchscreen on an slr, cute ^^
and i thought the cool thing on a dslr is that, because of the ovf, it runs almost in standby mode, even when turned on ,until the moment you press the shutter, then saves the pic and goes back to standby again.
edit: sorry i was talking about batterylife
The sensor better pretty damn impressive to even consider upgrading from the D5100 considering the cost difference...
A big improvement with continuous AF. If you don't need that then stick with your D5100.
Where are the continuous AF improvements discussed or illustrated? Does this encompass the video mode?
Retzius. How many people upgrade their cameras to the next new model? Most usually skip one or two generations before thinking of buying a new body.
why on earth would someone upgrade from a 5100 to a 5200 ??
AT LEAST skip a generation. its an slr, its made for a lifetime^^ why would you buy in the same class anyway?
people are so used to replace perfectly working gear nowadays i dont get it anymore ^^

The Monoglobe was Grand Theft Auto IV's rendition of the Unisphere sculpture in Queens' Flushing Meadows Park in New York City. In the game, it is located in the borough of Dukes in Meadows Park, just east of Savannah Avenue . It was built for the Liberty City World's Fair and was not taken down. This is a reference to the Unisphere, which was built for the same reason.
However in 2009, Huang Lee destroyed the Monoglobe on orders from Lester Leroc in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars with the intention of eliminating members of The Lost. The Monoglobe spun off of its stand and crashed into a nearby building, destroying it.
According to The Ballad of Gay Tony at the end of the mission Departure Time, Gay Tony used to play near the Monoglobe when he was young.

At about 19:15 of the first period, Seguin has the puck to the side of the net. He makes a great pass to Marchand, who is between the circles. And then he just stands there watching. There is a good rebound and Seguin doesn't get to it first because he's still standing beside the net, watching the play.
That's poor, and not what any Bruins fan wants to see their potential future superstar doing.

A growing number of hospitals and health systems across the country are starting mandatory vaccine programs, and the largest health care provider in the east is no different.
Vidant Health completed its first mandatory influenza vaccination program in November. More than 99.9% of employees received the vaccine. Patient safety is the driving force behind the policy says Vidant Health CEO Dr. David Herman
"If you're in a hospital as a patient and you get influenza your chances of having that be a fatal event are about 1 in 4. So to prevent those infections, it really keeps our patients safe and allows them to leave the hospital with a much better outcome then they would have otherwise," said Dr. Herman.
Workers at all Vidant Health sites, including doctors, nurses and housekeepers, participated. Even non-Vidant Health employees who work at Vidant facilities were required to get the vaccination.

Comments On Jul 16, 2010:I had one of these previously, on a 2006 VTX 1300C, and it fit well and held up for 4 years of Arizona sunlight. I traded that bike for a 2008 VTX 1800F, and since I knew the old one wouldn't fit, I searched for quite a while to find one (doesn't seem like they make too much to fit the 1800F), and came upon this one that supposedly fits.
It can be made to work, but it's not the perfect fit for the '08 1800F. First off, it's a bit too long on the end that goes under the seat, basically interfering with the part of the seat that sits under the tank. I solved this by cutting a slit for the seat tongue to fit through before setting it under the tank. And then, once it's placed under the instrument cover on the top of the tank, the front straps appear to be a bit short, so they don't run all the way over the front end of the tank.
It still looks okay, and works well enough after a bit of modification, to keep it, but if/when it's time to replace it, I'll probably have to bite the bullet and spend the extra $40 to buy the Hondaline that's actually made to fit this specific bike.

A former Stanley pastor has pleaded guilty to engaging in sex acts with two girls while in Haiti doing mission work in 2009.
The Gaston Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/XpXjU3) Larry Bollinger was charged with two counts of sexual misconduct with minors last May. Federal indictments said he had sexual relations with the girls, who were 11 and 12 years old at the time.
The 67-year-old Bollinger cried in federal court Friday, thanking his wife for support and offering an apology. He faces a maximum of 30 years in prison for each count. A sentencing date hasn't been set.
Bollinger worked for a missionary organization while in Haiti. While there, he served on several committees including a photography team which was to take pictures of each of the more than 600 students.

The website OK Cupid has about five million monthly users. And the survey they ask you to take has some pretty weird questions on it. Here are the top nine. See if you think any of them would help you find Mr. or Mrs. Right . . .
1. In a certain light, wouldn't nuclear war be exciting? Granted, if you say "yes," it probably does reveal something about your personality . . . and also maybe that you're a psycho.
2. Do you think women have an obligation to keep their legs shaved? The word "obligation" is key, because it makes a "yes" answer sound sexist. So if you're a man, the safe answer is obviously "no."
3. Which is worse: starving children or abused animals? Luckily, one of the options is, quote, "Neither, both are bad." But you can also choose "Neither, both are GOOD." (???)
4. How frequently do you bathe? On that one, the option you SHOULDN'T pick is, quote, "Once a week or less."
5. Do spelling mistakes annoy you? Apparently the implication is that you're not very smart if they DON'T annoy you. Or if they do, you might be the type of person who nitpicks everything.
6. Would you ever eat something out of the trash? Which is called "freeganism" . . . like "veganism" with the word "free" at the beginning. Obviously a "yes" answer is a turn-off for around 99.9% of people. However, it does suggest that you're low-maintenance.
7. Underarms can be a hairy subject. How do you maintain your pits? Choices for that one include, "I occasionally trim," and quote, "I let it grow wild and free." (So if you're counting, that's two questions about body hair.)
8. Would the world be a better place if people with low IQ's were not allowed to reproduce? It's not clear what exactly they're fishing for with that one, but the safe answer is obviously "no."
9. What do you think of when you hear the word "cell"? That's cell with a "c" . . . as in a "cell phone," not what a salesman does. Apparently if you say "cell phone," "jail cell," or "cellular biology," it reveals different things about your personality . . . like that you're into science, you've been in jail, or just that you own a mobile phone. (???) (LiveScience.com)

Hello! I've been lurking about these forums for years, devoting a bit of time here and there to try and sharpen my own mapmaking skills. Sadly, my skills still aren't up to my own standards, and I need somebody to step in and save me.
I'm going to be publishing a novel soon, and since I'm a such a map-lover I want a map in my book. I've drawn up a quick sketch of the layout:
(please don't laugh).
I want someone to take that and turn it into something that... doesn't suck. The artist can do the labeling themselves or leave that to me.
I'm not too particular on style, though I'm aiming for something akin to the following:
Yes, I realize the guy is a member here. (You're great, Djekspek!). I'm hoping for stylized, but not cartoonish. I would be especially happy if the locations like Fortress Nebeth and Bastion look good in addition to the rest of the map. I will give further details about their look over email.
Image should be 1600x2400 pixels (tall rectangle just as above).
The only other requirement is that the map needs to look good in greyscale, so people reading on things like Nook Simple Touch (no color) can still enjoy it.
I am hoping to publish by the end of the month, though I am willing to wait up to a month for especially good-looking work.
Payment is $100 (USD) on a deferred basis. That is to say, as soon as the book itself makes $100, I will send it along to the artist (via Paypal, I am assuming, though other options can be discussed). I do not have an estimated timetable for when this might happen, but I will offer monthly updates on earnings if desired. I am very much a serious writer, and while this is my first novel it is not my first publication. If you wish to verify that my writing doesn't suck (and, thus, that I might stand a chance of actually earning money and paying you) please go here.
Copyright remains the property of the artist, but artist grants me unlimited reproduction rights with due attribution.
If interested, please either respond to this post or email me at:
Thank you!

(CBSNEWS) -- Funerals are one of the most important events in Ghanaian society. Frederick Nnoma-Addison, a D.C.-based journalist who comes from the West African country, says funerals in Ghana are considered an investment in the memory of the deceased. "Yes, there is mourning, but we also reflect his or her good life, and celebrate," he told Seth Doane.
And while a funeral lasts just a few hours, since eternity is, well, eternity, it's important to spend it in style.

MIAMI (AP) -- Thieves made off with an estimated $340,000 in jewelry from Miami Heat star Chris Bosh's home while he was out celebrating his birthday.
Miami Beach police say Bosh called them about 12:30 a.m. Thursday after he and his wife returned from his well-publicized party at South Beach's Bamboo nightclub. The couple noticed a jewelry drawer was open and numerous watches, rings and purses were missing.
Police say there was no sign of forced entry at the Bosh home. Also some easily recognizable items such as Bosh's Heat championship ring were left behind.
Authorities are interviewing housekeepers and checking anyone else who may have had recent access to Bosh's home.
Bosh was celebrating his 29th birthday.

Staff provides the data, information and professional recommendations regarding land use issues and other planning policy questions to the Planning Board and elected boards to help them make informed recommendations and decisions.
The Planning Board was established by a special act of the North Carolina General Assembly in 1948 to provide consolidated planning services to the City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. As such, it is the oldest consolidated city-county agency in North Carolina. The Board is served by Planning staff which also functions as an administrative department of City and County governments.

Additionally, the book documents how more than 110 neighborhoods came to be developed. The text is augmented with more than 900 documentary and current images of historically or architecturally significant buildings and neighborhoods.
