Couple with Smucker family ties donates $500,000 to University of Akron
October 18, 2013 1:47 PM
The daughter and son-in-law of the family responsible for the J.M. Smucker Co. have donated $500,000 to the University of Akron to support scholarships for students attending the university's Wayne College in Orrville.
The gift from Dr. H. Reid and Susan Smucker Wagstaff also was in recognition of the university's president, Luis Proenza, who will step down from the presidency next June 30. In recognition of the gift, the university will rename the entranceway to Wayne College "The H. Reid and Susan Smucker Wagstaff Way."
Susan Wagstaff's father, Paul Smucker, led the charge for creation of a University of Akron branch campus in Wayne County in the late-1960s. Since then, the Smucker family has been a strong supporter of the university's efforts. Last year, for instance, J.M. Smucker donated $1 million to launch a new institute that focuses on leadership within the university's College of Business Administration.
"Their commitment to our students and their families reminds us that reasons for giving often go far deeper than what one might imagine," Dr. Proenza said in a news release. "Many families hold a deeply-rooted allegiance to the University of Akron and its ideals. The Smuckers are one of those families."

When it comes to shooting games, campers are a HUGE problem for me. Although, I heard Battlefield 3 has worse campers than MW3.
This is a little vague…

Ritalin for Cocaine Addiction?Psych CentralJune 28, 2013
New research suggests a single dose of methylphenidate (brand name Ritalin) can help to improve brain function in cocaine addiction, which ultimately could make it an add-on treatment for such addictions. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York performed imaging studies to develop their hypothesis. They found that the drug modified connectivity in certain brain circuits that underlie self-control and craving among cocaine-addicted individuals.

Rush hour fatal accident ties up major highway
Written by R.J. Liberatore Jr. Wednesday, July 30, 2014 02:28 pm
< Prev | Next > |
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP - A 73-year-old Pleasantville man died in a one-vehicle accident Wednesday morning, July 30, according to Hamilton Township police.
The accident forced police to close the eastbound lanes of Route 322 for five hours while officers investigated the crash and cleanup crews cleared the highway.
The victim, Al Nelson, was the sole occupant of a 1998 Volvo tractor truck that went off the road and overturned, police said. He was dead when police arrived.
According to Hamilton police, Nelson was driving westbound on Route 322 when he went off the road around 7:32 a.m. between Weymouth Road and Malaga Road.
Nelson crossed over the eastbound lanes and traveled up an embankment before striking several trees. The vehicle then overturned.
Nelson was driving a truck owned by Palmisano Delivery Service Inc. of Egg Harbor Township.
Members of the Weymouth and Mizpah fire departments, Township of Hamilton Rescue, AtlantiCare, the New Jersey state medical examiner, New Jersey State Police Transportation Safety Bureau and New Jersey Department of Transportation assisted.

As I watched the recent PBS Series, "The Roosevelts," I couldn't help but think that not much had changed in so far as humankind's relations are concerned. We do seem to have bigger and better weapons but no lessening of the human greed that generates the so-called need for such weapons.
Now that President Obama has laid his case before the United Nations for a concerted international war on the emerging Islamic State, if and when should the argument be debated in Congress?
The President Obama many fellow Democrats have been looking for ever since his 2008 election may have shown up this week at the United Nations. His tough and direct call on the rest of the international community to step up to the challenge of global terrorism displayed a spine they have long felt missing in action.
The president was at the United Nations on Wednesday, urging young people across the Muslim world to reject benighted values, even as America clambers into bed with a bunch of Middle East potentates who espouse benighted values.
Earlier this month, my iPhone vanished.
I looked up its location on an app called Find My Friends that my wife and I use, and I had a shock: The app said my phone was in a house 15 miles away, in a neighborhood that I'd never visited.
I drove there. It was night. The house looked creepy.
When it comes to bullying, to sexual assault, to gun violence, we want and need our schools to be as safe as possible.
But when it comes to learning, shouldn't it be dangerous?
Isn't education supposed to provoke, disrupt, challenge the paradigms that young people have consciously embraced and attack the prejudices that they have unconsciously absorbed?
Over the past few weeks, I've been reading Ken Adelman's fascinating history "Reagan at Reykjavik: Forty-Eight Hours That Ended the Cold War." Adelman, who led President Ronald Reagan's arms control agency, was an adviser at Reagan's 1986 Iceland summit meeting with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Using some newly declassified documents, Adelman fills out the extraordinary dialogue between the two leaders that set in motion a dramatic cut in nuclear arms.
Departing Attorney General Eric Holder deserves cheers for his stance on civil rights, in my view, but bemused jeers for his assaults on civil liberties.
Holder may well be remembered ironically as a leading advocate for both human rights and for the advancement of government powers that infringe on those rights.

Vampire Knight, Mars, and Life. they all have nice, loving, elaborate story lines. Yeah!(im not gay)
I usually tend to get sucked into any book whether it is manga or not. But Hot Gimmick managed to really suck me in. The story seemed interesting and the character designs were also interesting. I was so far sucked into it that I have made comparisions to Ryoki Tachibana to my friend (who is my current bf). It was sort of my own personal crack. I couldn't get enough of it and I was begging my friend constantly to borrow some of the other volumes that she had.

Subcommittees Seek to Reduce Looming Regulatory Burdens on Agriculture, State Agencies & Small Businesses
Tamara Hinton, 202.225.0184
WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Jean Schmidt, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Nutrition and Horticulture and Rep. Bob Gibbs, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment held a joint public hearing to consider reducing the regulatory burdens posed by the case National Cotton Council v. EPA (6th Cir. 2009) and to review related draft legislation.
Under the court ruling, pesticide users, which include farmers, ranchers, forest managers, state agencies, city and county municipalities, mosquito control districts, and water districts, among others would have to obtain a duplicative permit under the Clean Water Act (CWA) for the use of pesticides. Pesticide applications are highly regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The order of the court goes into effect on April 9, 2011. At which time, pesticide applications not covered by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit are subject to a fine of up to $37,500 per day per violation. In addition to the costs of compliance, pesticide users will be subject to an increased risk of litigation under the citizen suit provision of the CWA.
During the hearing, Members of the Subcommittees also considered draft legislation targeted at addressing the 6th Circuit Court ruling and eliminating the costly and duplicative permitting requirement.
"Having exhausted all judicial review options and without Congressional action, this order will impose a burden on the EPA, state regulatory agencies, and pesticide applicators, which will cost our economy dearly in terms of jobs. It also severely threatens the already critical budget situation facing government at all levels. It is particularly unfortunate that this court order imposes a new requirement that will imperil our water resource boards, our mosquito control boards, and our forestry and agricultural sectors, yet provides no additional environmental or public health protection." said Chairman Jean Schmidt (R-OH).
"This new Clean Water Act permit for covered pesticides stands to be the single greatest expansion of the permitting process in the history of the Clean Water Act program. EPA has said it can expect approximately 5.6 million covered pesticide applications per year by approximately 365,000 applicators ˆ virtually doubling the number of entities currently subject to Clean Water Act permitting," said Chairman Bob Gibbs (R-OH). "Requiring a permit under the Clean Water Act in addition to an approval under FIFRA adds delays, costs, and other burdens on both the regulatory agencies who have to issue the permits and those who need to get a permit, without increasing environmental protection. It also could result in significant environmental and human health impacts by hampering the ability to respond to disease and pest outbreaks."
"Today's hearing provided an excellent opportunity for us to better understand the potentially harmful consequences of the National Cotton Council v. EPA decision for state regulating agencies, agricultural producers, mosquito control districts, and small businesses across the nation. I look forward to working in a bipartisan fashion with my colleagues to find a responsible legislative solution that ensures FIFRA remains the standard for pesticide regulation, and continues to protect the health and safety of our families and communities,"
said Ranking Member Joe Baca (D-CA).

Panel I
Dr. Steven Bradbury, Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C.

I wonder a little since when the Nvidia drivers have any problems.
After reading many of the red777star post, that's very hard for me to believe.
I can mention few others, but why waste time and ink, they know who they are.
Anyway driver included in the released card should not blow it up.
So probably it's just some faulty part hopefully on only few rushed out card without enough testing. Not only my speculation, according to this post by Micutzu at other forum.
You're right, drivers shouldn't melt your cards, but it has happened before, unfortunately. Of course, pushing a 590 to 1.2v is pretty idiotic anyway, you aren't even supposed to do that to a 580. The limit is right around 1.15v.
I guess we will find out as more and more cards get shipped out what the real problem is. A faulty part could certainly be the issue.

This is true, and I agree. It is an nvidia fansite, and I respect that. I just wish people were indifferent when it came to picking the "best solution." In this case, both solutions have drawbacks (6990: noise, GTX 590: it's slower), which is why I find it a little hard to swallow that everyone immediately announced the GTX 590 as the winner.
It goes both ways, though. Some of the most obvious and annoying trolls around here aren't necessarily the Nvidia fanboys, just read the 590 thread in the rumor mill.
And, yes, it's hilarious, or sad, depending on how you look at it, that the same people that were going nuts about how loud the 480 is are now defending the 6990 which is far louder, or that people who trashed the 5870 for being slower are now slurping the 590 and acting like speed doesn't matter when it is clearly slower than the 6990.
It's even funnier when some of the people doing this are the ones calling others fanboys.

Gay marriage: Can Obama stay on tightrope until 2012 elections?
President Obama has increased gay rights without publicly endorsing gay marriage. Can his position on gay marriage continue 'evolving' throughout a tight campaign season?
Jason Reed / Reuters
For months, President Obama's view on gay marriage has been "evolving," to quote press secretary Jay Carney. The unspoken presumption is that Mr. Obama really does support full marriage equality for same-sex couples, but just can't say it out loud. If he did, it would needlessly inflame social conservatives and potentially alienate swing voters, the thinking goes.
Can the president ride that position all the way to Election Day? Or at some point in the next 16 months, will he feel compelled to evolve to the next step, overt support for gay marriage?
"There's only so long you can ride this pony," says Ford O'Connell, chairman of the conservative Civic Forum PAC.
For now, Obama seems safe with the position he laid out Thursday night, at a major LGBT fundraiser in New York City for the Democrats and Obama's campaign.
"I believe that gay couples deserve the same legal rights as every other couple in this country," the president said to applause, hinting at support for same-sex marriage, but not saying the words. The president's official position is that he supports civil unions.

My favorite jeans.I have been waiting for what feels like forever for Anthro to carry these jeans again. Last time they had the superscripts I bought two pairs and couldn't have been happier! I'm so glad Anthro is carrying these again and this time in a different wash. These are THE BEST jeans. They are high enough to not be annoying when you bend over, but not too high that they are "mom jeans". Essentially they suck you in and with the solid colored wash, are extremely slimming. They do stretch out a little bit, but in a good way-- like they're made for you without over stretching and being saggy. These jeans easily transition from day to night and look great with flats or heels! For the past few years, I've pretty much only worn Pilcro jeans. If you have a booty and are always frustrated with the fit of jeans, try these jeans!!!! Anthro gods, if you are listening, PLEASE keep these in stock and carry more washes/colors of this style!
PerfectI'm someone who usually buys jeans when they are on sale in the $40-60 range and I've never spent over $100 on jeans so I really wasn't sure it would be worth it. I took a gamble and let me say that it paid off, big time. I LOVE these jeans. They are comfortable, look great, hold their shape, and wash well. Please make more washes of these jeans!! I'm 5'2" 120 lbs and got a size 26P after reading the reviews. I'm usually a size 27 but the 26P fits perfectly and even stretches to accommodate minor weight fluctuations (thanks holidays). In sum, these are the perfect high-rise skinny jeans.
Perfect dark wash jeanI have been on the hunt for the perfect dark blue jeans for ages! They are either too light or too dark that they look almost black or have some green mixed in them. This looks exactly the way I want - a rich dark blue that goes with anything casual or dressy/formal. Now the fit. It fits like skinny jeans till the knee and goes straight down closer to the body without looking skin tight or like the looser straight jean. The high rise goes till my belly button and smoothes everything out. Yay for high risers - no muffin tops or butt cracks! It has a good amount of stretch to it. If you are in between sizes, go for the smaller size. I am 5ft 5', 140lbs and I picked the size 28 regular and it hits me perfectly at the ankles, which is great for wearing flats or heels. We have a long road ahead, these jeans and I! :D

Classy, Casual Wardrobe StapleI would own this dress in all three colors if I could! It's fantastic. It has a sleek, sophisticated fit that you can dress up or down, and it's incredibly comfortable. It is VERY fitted in the waist, but my waist is the smallest part of me, so I like that and look for it. I'm a 33-23-35, 5'5" tall, and the XS fits very comfortably on me. I love that it shows my figure but is still work appropriate. It's true that the fabric seems like it would pick easily, but I've been lucky so far. No cuddling my cats in this one. It's a little pricey, but I loved it so much that I didn't want to wait and pray to the Sales Corner Gods for it to show up in their realm. It probably will eventually, but I didn't want to risk having it sell out in my size. Worth the price tag for something I can wear so many ways for at least 3 seasons of the year, and is so comfy. If you love A-line cut things and accentuating your waist, you need this dress.
Perfect FitI went to the store and tried on the dress in blue-- I saw the mauve color, but thought it may wash me out in the later winter months and I had no idea that green was an option. I was hesitant to try on the dress as it looked long (I am 5'3" and I tried it on in XXSP), but when I tried it on it looked perfect. It was stylish, but not too stylish. I could not justify spending $148.00 on the dress, so after much consideration I left without buying it. However, this fit and style was so perfect I could not stop thinking about it. I went online and discovered the moss color and I was sold. I bought the dress immediately. The blue is gorgeous, but with my coloring I am hoping that the moss will look even better. I plan to wear this to work and to Christmas parties with suede booties. The dress is fitted in the chest and arms area-- it is revealing in that sense. Otherwise, the waist down is very forgiving.
Casual ComfortI don't find most midi dresses to be flattering, so I actually ordered this dress in petite sizing--and I'm glad I did. Now the skirt just touches the bottom of my knees, instead of cutting me off mid-calf and making me look short. The fabric is super stretchy and skims over all my curves. I love how I can dress it up or down depending on the situation, and when the dress went on sale I ended up buying all 3 original colors. A word of caution, however--after a few wears and washes, the fabric going from under the armpits down to the waistband, running down the sides of my torso, has gotten very thin. I suspect it's due to my larger chest size, which can pull on the fabric weave and has often been a problem when I shop for Anthro dresses, but I'm still disappointed. Busty ladies should approach this one with some caution.

Had to have it in TWO colors!I first saw this online and loved the pink color. By the time I finally got to one of my Anthro stores the only size left in pink was a S. Since most Anthro tops run small I usually buy mediums, but I have a few small and extra-smalls in my closet, so I tried the small on. Many reviews I'd read said it ran big and the sleeves were long. They were right. Altho I loved the length in the front, it was really full in back and I had to turn up the sleeves several times. But I wanted it so much I bought the small and ordered the XS before I left. When the XS arrived I could see it was a better fit, altho I had to get used to it being shorter in front, the way it fits the model in the photo. The sleeves fit right at my wrist and the back no longer looked like a billowing sail. Of course, when I went back to my store to return the Small, I came home with the blue one (also an XS)!! The blue is a lovely shade of sky. A cami might be worn right now for warmth, but isn't needed, as these are not see-through. Should be pretty in spring with white skinny pants. I plan on wearing them casually with skinny jeans, then dressing them up for an evening out.
The gold color is beautifulI bought this shirt in gold with the scarf pictured and it looks great. The loose fit of this shirt worked for me because I am trying to hide the last few pounds of my last pregnancy.
BeautifulLove both the look & feel of this top. It feels good to wear!

so different, super cute!I can see what everyone else is saying about it running large and about how the bottom is a little small, but I sized down and I love it! The design is so unique and it is really comfortable.
Runs LargeI ordered this shirt in a XL since I'm tall with ample chest and hips. It was TOO large -- so I am in the process of returning/exchanging it for a L. The design is cute and eye catching. However, the XL didn't really pull off the faux-layering combo. In the XL, the top portion was awkwardly stuck to the bottom part, where the floral bottom part didn't hang properly -- not as cute as the pictures on Instagram. I hope that a smaller size will pull of the layered style better. I'll update this review when it comes back in the mail.
so cute!This top was love at first sight online, and it didn't disappoint when it arrived! I'm usually a S or M (more medium lately, stupid winter weight), and almost went with the S since the reviews were saying it runs so large, but I'm glad I stuck with the M. It definitely is a bit large up top, but the S would not have worked across the hips. Overall I'm very pleased with this top and looking forward to it carrying me into spring. P.S. It is by Postmark not Saturday/Sunday, if that matters to anyone.

Perfect Tee!!I love this tee! It's perfect out here in So. Cal where it never rains. It's thin enough for summer and the long sleeves work perfect for the mild winters. It fits great, although different shirts although in the same size fit a tad bit differently on top. I wanted to make sure the top portion didn't slip off my shoulder as that would be annoying to be pulling it back constantly. You may have to try a few on in the same size. I am 5'0 and petite and the XS fit great, I bought it in 3 colors, the perfect staple for your wardrobe! The slits on the sides also made it very flattering for us girls with hips.
Falsely advertised colorsLove all things Bordeaux, and as far as fit goes, this is one of the better cuts I've seen from them. Length is great, same fabric as always (soft and silky), but the colors are so far off from what's shown online. I purchased the "white" which is the standard Bordeaux off-gray and the black in store, then ordered three more online. The "chartreuse" yellow online is actually a terrible highlighter yellow-green, the "neutral" is a strong brown-pink, and the "brown" is actually purple. Will be returning given they're not as pictured -- Anthro, please work on the naming of colors and lighting in the photos!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!I'm going to buy this in every color! Fits perfect and very flattering. Super soft. Great drape. Love the neckline that falls just right. And the hem is flowy but not too flowy. The sleeves are fitted but don't feel tight. You can layer a tank under it and it still looks great. And it's light enough to layer over it with a sweater and not feel bulky. It's thin but not too thin to see bra color under. Only con: the tag says handwash in cold.

Most flattering dress everI tried this dress on just out of plain curiosity. It reminded me of some gorgeous vintage dress you'd see someone wearing somewhere in France. And I cannot say enough good things about it. It falls flawlessly, hits my legs just a few inches above the knee, and perfectly cinches in the waist. I have a small waist, big hips and a bit of junk in the trunk, and this dress accentuates all of that in just the right way. I am usually between a 6 and an 8, and the 8 was more flowy and comfortable. Very feminine and classy, and totally season-less. Can't wait to wear it with ankle boots and a sweater early spring, with some black sandals in the summer, and an army jacket, tights and boots in the winter. I have a feeling this dress is going to get A LOT of wear. IN A NUTSHELL: JUST GET THE DRESS.
SuperbI already had a small horde of pretty little dresses in green from Anthro, but I had to have this one, even at full price, after seeing it a couple of times in store, then relenting on one trip and trying it on. Super figure flattering and has a bit arm camouflage for sans cardi/topper, Suffice it to say, I would trade all the green dresses in my closet for this one, if I ever had to make that tough decision. A little retro but uber cool, I love the pop of orange in the sea of demurely dark greenish teal and black. My usual size 10 fit like it was tailored to me. I sometimes go up to a 12 if a dress runs small in the hips and bust, but I didn't have to this go around. I'm wearing this on my first opportunity, and foresee it having quite a few repeats.
ladylike and prettyThis is rather a "nostalgic" looking dress..it reminds me of something a 40's actress might wear? It's very feminine and extremely comfy. As the other reviewers mentioned, it's a faux wrap dress, which I much prefer, not so fussy or worries about anything flying open. I am a 34 C and of very slim build, the 4 fit me with just enough room to keep things more flowy. I prefer "eating room" and comfort. It's a beautifully charming print, springlike but good for season spanning. The dress is lightweight so it could easily work for summer with sandals. The teal color is very flattering and the coral dots help to warm up a winter complexion. It's TTS, so I would suggest going with your usual size. The ruffle "sleeves" are also very flattering to the upper arm area.. This dress is pretty, fun and effortless!

One of a kind for sure!I love this beautiful cardigan! It is truly a cross between to a kimono and a cardigan. The material is soft and smooth and flowing! It is a beautiful must have! It has a beautiful pattern and I love that it buttons up which most like this do not have that feature, I saw it and knew I had to have it!! I highly recommend it!!!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!Absolutely gorgeous and awesome Kimono!!! Gorgeous pattern!! I am 5'2, 106 lbs, with a slender/athletic build and I originally ordered in XS/SM size...it was slightly long in the sleeves & covered my hands, so I exchanged it for a XSP/SMP and it was PERFECT!!! The cut and the way it looks on is beautiful and classy!!! My only issue with it was from the quality standpoint of the fabric...while the fabric is a beautiful pattern and material, the garment itself was stringy (had lots of tiny silk strings lose and sticking out of it)....I had to go thru and cut each tiny string off.
Pretty kimono jacket-- This kimono looks and feels like silk. The design and color palette make it very versatile. -- This runs large, so I would recommend if you normally wear a M or L you size down to the XS/S. I would ONLY recommend people who normally wear an XL or who typically cannot wear Anthro tops due to sizing get the M/L -- Although it is semi-sheer, because of its pattern you cannot see any skin underneath this, so wearing it with bare arms and just a simple Cami on hot summer nights is just fine. As reference I have a very large and colorful tattoo on my arm and I couldn't see it under this. -- This is machine washable - always a plus. It will make a great travel staple, too, due to it's versatility. The best way to wear it is open, with a tank (as pictured here online).

I found this article very interesting and informative. I would like to learn more about the initiatives that Mr. Lerner enacted to accomplish what he has so far, particularly in regards to what he called "co-responsibility". I find that often times there is a reluctance on the part of government officials or business people or anyone in a position of power to move forward on environmental issues because of the price tag. Curitiba could be a great case study or basis of comparison to recreate some of these successes in other cities that are not in the best shape economically. If anyone has suggested readings or studies that have been done documenting the methods and results of Curitiba's turn around could you please advise. Thank you.

Cocktail rye was pretty common when I was growing up, but it's been a while since I've seen it. Maybe it's a regional thing, or maybe it has gone out of style. It's not so much a style of bread, but it's about the shape. Cocktail rye was a small loaf, thinly sliced.
In our house, it was typically served as the base for chopped chicken livers, or sometimes cream cheese, always served open-faced. Cocktail rye was the untoasted rye version of crostini.
Most of the bread that came into our house was destined for very utilitarian sandwiches, so little bread seemed very fancy to me. Even if it was just a snack in front of the TV, it felt like a party.
I used pumpernickel flour, but I know that most stores don't stock a lot of different rye flours - you can use whatever rye flour you have on hand, or whatever you can find. I'm usually a big fan of giving precise measurement for baking recipes, but in this case, you might need to adjust a bit, depending on the rye flour you use. It's more important to have the right texture than to adhere to precise measurements.
Cocktail Rye
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup pumpernickel or dark rye flour
2 cups bread flour (plus more, as needed)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
Combine the water, yeast, and rye flour in the bowl of your stand mixer and stir to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes. It should be a bit bubbly.
Add 2 cups of bread flour, salt, and cider vinegar. Knead with the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook until the dough is elastic - it won't be smooth because of the rye flour. Add the olive oil and continue kneading until the oil is incorporated.
Turn off the mixer and touch the dough - it should be tacky rather than sticky. If the dough is still sticky add more bread flour - perhaps up to another 1/4 cup - as needed. Add the caraway seeds and knead until they are well distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until the dough has doubled in size - about 50 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Flour your work surface, turn out the dough, and divide it into 3 roughly equal pieces. Form each piece into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for them to rise.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Remove the plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees until nicely browned, about 25 minutes. Let the loaves cool completely on a rack before cutting.

I am not clear when you would adjust exposure compensation versus changing ISO, shuutter speed or aperture. There are many ways to adjust exposure but when to use one verus the other is confusing me. Would appraciate any insight. John
The combination of ISO and shutter speed and aperture gives you an exposure value. Changing the ISO or shutter speed or aperture results in one of the others changing in the opposite direction to maintain the same exposure value. For example, if you double the ISO you then half the shutter speed to maintain the exposure value.You change the exposure compensation when you don't like the exposure value picked by the camera. For example, the camera meter may be confused by all the snow around your skier friends and underexpose the scene because the camera does not know that all that snow is supposed to be white, not middle gray. You then might need to add some +EV to let in more light to get the snow back to white and your friends not underexposed.There are two ways to change your EV compensation. In manual mode, you just change one of the exposure settings (shutter, aperture, ISO) -- handy for just a few pictures. Is any of the auto modes, you set the EV value to a +/- value and the camera does the calculations -- handy for many shots.---------+---------+---------+---------+Joseph KSeattle, WA, USAD700, D200, D70S, 24-70mm f/2.8, VR 70-200mm f/2.8 II, 50mm f/1.4 D,17-55mm f/2.8 DX, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 DX
Thanks for the reply. I mainly shoot in aperture priority mode so I would use the aperture to change my exposure. It sounds like the exposure compensation is mainly used for the auto modes. I think that answers my question!
Hi John,Welcome to Nikonians!Aperture priority mode is an "Auto Mode".Here are two examples where Exposure Compensation is used to adjust for ambient conditions.When you subject is on a stage with black curtains in the background the matrix meter can easily be fooled into over exposing your subject because of the dark background.Dialing in some negative exposure compensation will skew the meter to increase the shutter speed (in A exposure mode) resulting in your subject being correctly exposed.With back lighted white curtains in the background the matrix meter will be fooled into under exposing your subject. Adding some positive exposure compensation will skew the meter to use a slower shutter speed (again in A exposure mode) to adjust for the under exposure, resulting in your subject being correctly exposed.When the foreground or background is significantly brighter or darker than your subject and you are using P, S, or A exposure modes, using Exposure Compensation allows you to compensate or adjust the exposure to fit the condition.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
Hi Marty,Thank you. For the scenario you described, I would switch to spot metering instead of matrix so I would expose based on my subject and not background. But I am still learning so I will try exposure compensation and compare results. I do understand how ISO, Aperture and shutter speed relate to each other. And I get how exposure compensation works. I think I am still searching for a good use case to apply it. One thing for sure, it is nice to have options!
Hi John,In that situation, I would do the same thing since I shoot in Manual exposure mode most of the time I can quickly adjust as required.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
I find exposure compensation useful if there is a specific part of the image that I'm concerned about overexposing or underexposing. For instance, I might do spot metering on a darker-colored flower but be concerned that a light section of foliage will be blown out. But if I meter off the lightest foliage, the flower (my main subject) will be grossly underexposed. So I meter off the flower, deliberately underexpose the entire image a little, to avoid blowing out the foliage. The result is a slightly underexposed flower that can often be corrected in post-processing, with detail preserved in the light section of foliage. By the same token you can slightly overexpose the entire image to bring out detail in a black area or deep shadow that might otherwise be lost.Exposure compensation can help you get the entire dynamic range of the image inside the camera gamut.

When using Aperture Priority mode and you change the aperture, the shutter speed must change to keep the same exposure (keeping ISO constant in this case). For example, if f/8 and 1/125th gives you the correct exposure and you change to f/11, then the shutter speed will be 1/60th to give you the same (correct) exposure. When using Exposure Compensation, adding +1 will cause the camera to "overexposure" one stop from what the camera thought should be the "correct" exposure. For example, if f/8 and 1/125th is the "correct" exposure and you then select +1 Exp. Comp, the result will be f/8 and 1/60th.

Looking up at all the lights that you can't appreciate Among the city life I wonder: What's out there; who's out there for me? From what I do the thoughts remain in constant circulation. From what I write will my life be revered or will it be viewed As a man who struggled to persevere. The outlets in which I drain my power are far from self-sustaining, and although Straining, they jolt along. The truth behind his words Is an authors saddest and most powerful story. His life; in relation To all that surrounds him. His light; in all that's growing dim. The complex written in small words as a reminder, not of spite, But to remember life and what has been survived. An outward Expression to set yourself free; hoping for understanding but never sympathy.

My daughter and I are planning a return trip to this lovely cottage nestled in the mountains. We had such a great time the first visit, it was our choice hands down again this year. Close to everything- with plently of peace and quite too. It was great!
What a wonderful treasure you have! When we first came walking into the kitchen, we must have stood at the sliding glass doors for 10 minutes - the sun was just setting, the sky lit in pink & purple hues and the lights of the town beginning to twinkle - breath-taking! The entire cottage was welcoming, right down to the special goatsmilk soap and tucked-under toilet paper! Thanks you for sharing your cottage with two people who needed to tap back into the peaceful rhythm of nature. R&T 12/06
Fabulous place - truely a haven - wish we could stay longer/had found you sooner. But 2 nights have refreshed us and calmed our spirits - ready for the rest of our holiday. T,C & T 10/06
Thank you for your hospitality and kindness in allowing our family to stay here at SkyHaven. (from the Univ. of Pittsburgh, School of Pharmacy, silent auction) We enjoyed the day of horseback riding and site-seeing. We had a relaxing week-end at SkyHaven. A&P 10/06
SkyHaven is fantastic! Relaxing, cozy and very comfortable. Hopefully we can return sometime. C&F 9/06
SkyHaven exceeded our expectations! Coming up the road I had my doubts, but when we walked in the door, it was the best surprise we could imagine. The pride of ownership is apparent and I thank you for allowing us to stay in the cabin. Thank you for all your hospitality. V&S 8/06
Thanks for a wonderful place to stay! We really enjoyed it and will plan on a return visit! We will also recommend it to friends. The house was very comfortable. The living room furniture was great! It was also great having the entertainment center including cable TV with movie channels and DVD player. 4/2/05 F.C. & M.C.
There are so many nice things to say about your lovely cottage. The views are amazing on a clear day, the cottage is so well taken care of, beautifully decorated and alot of wonderful touches - the wine, the candles, the great books and a really comfortable make yourself at home feel. We hope to be back soon! 4/30/05 D.L. & T.L.

It had been two years since Danny and his ghost side separated from one body, but it didn't feel like it had been that long. People treated them so differently now; the Fenton family had gained another son, though some say only by appearance. Since there were now two Danny's, they couldn't very well call them both by the same name. Their birth son was still called Danny, and their new ghost son was simply called Phantom. It felt demeaning somehow, only acknowledging him as a ghost rather than a boy with a real name. But he just brushed it off most of the time; after all, there couldn't really be two Danny's in the same household, right? But between the pair, they referred to each other as Fenton and Phantom; it had a nice ring to it, though they did call each other Danny on rare occasions. Jazz was really the only other person who picked up their names they gave each other, honoring their decision to call themselves that.
Summer was always fun, swimming, camping, goofing off, and best of all, no homework. Fenton graduated High School a year ago, and had started going to college to study astronomy for his dream to be a real astronaut. And after a long semester of studying, homework, and with final exams finally over, he was more than ready to relax and spend time with his family. Too bad Summer Break was only a few short weeks long.
After the human Danny graduated High School and moved to a dorm for college, the ghost Danny decided to stay and continue fighting other ghosts and protecting the town in his stead. He basically lived the same life Fenton had led before he left; he slept in his same bed, wore his same clothes--before his surrogate parents bought him his own, ate at the same table, hung out with Sam and Tucker when he had the chance, and played his video games during his down time. Fenton was sure surprised when he discovered his counterpart had beaten all his games and unlocked all the cool achievements for him.
Phantom never really liked his spandex suit, so he was glad when he got his own wardrobe. Most of his clothes were very similar to human Danny's, but with obvious homage's to his former attire. He usually wore a black short-sleeved shirt, with the DP emblem that he added for good measure, the sleeves and collar trimmed in white. His pants were black jeans with white stitching down the sides of his legs, the bottoms of the pants almost completely covering his white tennis shoes, and a white belt woven through the belt loops. Instead of his old white gloves, he opted for some white beaded cuffs around his wrists. Yep, his clothing style was almost the spitting image of Fenton's. But although it was summer, up in the mountains it was always a bit chilly, so the boys had decided to wear their jackets for the trip, colored and trimmed in their respective colors.
They were on their yearly 'family bonding' camping trip, Phantom included. Jack was never very fond of his new ghost son, but he tolerated him most of the time. Maddie insisted Phantom come along on the trip, since he was now part of the family after all, even if it was only by his past merge with their birth son.
They had almost finished setting up camp when Jack and Phantom got into yet another argument about the ghost teen coming along for a family vacation. Jack told him he wasn't part of the family and shouldn't have been allowed to come, while Phantom retorted about how he should be treated as family since he was joined once with their son. After the older man said that he would never be his son, just another ghost, Phantom stomped off furiously into the forest. Fenton chased after him, and they went deep into the woods, far away from the campsite. The ghost boy was already far ahead, and the raven-haired teen struggled to catch up.
After several minutes of running, Fenton came to a clearing by a shallow stream, birds chirping in the trees, the calming sound of running water, and leaves blowing in the wind. He followed along the stream until he saw his silver-haired friend, sitting on a log on the bank, tossing pebbles into the water, his face deep in thought. He didn't seem to notice Fenton sneaking up behind him, lost in his thoughts.
The raven-haired teen came up behind him, gave his back a shove then pulled him back, "Saved your life," he joked.
Phantom glared up at him, "Haha," he said sarcastically before turning his attention back toward the reflective water.
Fenton sighed lightly and sat down next to him, silent for a moment before he spoke, "You okay?"
"No, I'm not okay," Phantom threw another stone into the water, "why does your dad have to be like that?"
"Come on, give him some time," he kicked his feet slowly as his legs hung over the bank, "he's still trying to cope with the fact that he has a ghost for a son now."
"He's had two years to cope with that, how much more time does he need?" he picked up another stone, tossing it up and catching it in his hand a couple times, "He'll never see me as part of the family, just another ghost. At least your mom is nice to me, but she still insists I call her 'Mrs. Fenton' rather than mom."
"But Jazz cares about you," Fenton pointed out, "she loves spending time with you the same way she does with me."
Phantom thought for a moment before tossing the stone into the water, "Yeah, that's true, but she's the only person that really does," he brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, "I'll never really be part of this family ... "
"Don't go emo on me Phantom," Fenton joked again.
The ghost teen smirked, "When I start cutting myself and writing songs about it is when you should start worrying."
The raven-haired teen stared at his kicking feet in silence, before smiling and leaned his shoulder against his friend's, "Do you remember what we said the day we separated?"
Phantom sat quietly, "Yeah ... yeah, I remember ... "
Fenton continued, "We said that even though we're separate people now, we'd always be together. Even if they don't view you as family, I still see you as my friend, and brother."
Phantom continued his quiet thought, Fenton still resting against his shoulder. The ghost teen then smirked, "You're so sentimental sometimes."
He slowly reached a hand behind the other teen's back and pushed him into the water.
Fenton sat up, spitting water, "Hey!"
The ghost boy laughed as he brought his legs down from his chest, "Haha, looks like I forgot to save your life."
Fenton glared up at his laughing friend, then reached up, grabbed his legs and pulled him into the water with him. Phantom sat dumbfounded in the stream, watching his counterpart laugh at him. He growled and splashed him in the face, and Fenton splashed back. Their splash fight continued for several more minutes, they laughed the whole time, just having fun together. They stood up in the stream facing each other, their laughter starting to subside.
Suddenly, a voice came from far away, "Fenton! Phantom! Where are you?" they heard Jazz call out.
"Danny! Danny come back!" they heard Maddie.
With a heavy sigh, the silver-haired boy started wringing water out of his clothes, "Come on, I guess we'd better head back."
"Okay," Fenton messed up his hair to get the water out, stepping out of the stream, "they're probably gonna be upset with us for getting all wet."
"Oh no, what ever shall we do," Phantom said sarcastically, "they're already mad at us for running away, one more thing isn't gonna make much difference."
"Yeah, probably," Fenton started walking away, "let's go, we don't want them worrying more than they already are."
Phantom stepped one foot up on the bank, but something caught his eye. Fenton had walked several paces and realized he didn't hear his counterpart's footsteps behind him. He turned and saw him across the stream, following something wispy and green.
"Phantom? Where are you going?" he called back to him.
The ghost boy acted as if he didn't hear him, and continued walking forward, practically hypnotized by the glowing object, disappearing into the forest.
Fenton wasn't sure what he was doing, but he ran back across the stream and struggled up the slightly steeper bank on the other side, "Phantom wait! Where are you going?"
He chased after his friend; he could barely see him through the dark trees. He didn't even seem to notice the stone statues as he ran. The second he stepped passed them; everything went dark, and somehow heavy. The happily chirping birds and running water went silent, the only sound was the wind blowing. What just happened?
Fenton shook his head, focusing back on finding Phantom. He ran off in the direction he knew the ghost boy was going. He soon saw his silhouette in the distance, moving slowly but somehow faster than he was.
"Phantom! Wait!"
He was starting to catch up, but it almost looked like his friend was flickering, fading in and out of form. He momentarily thought he saw the shape of a girl instead of his ghost counterpart, but how could that be?
"Stop!" he shouted and grabbed his shoulder.
The figure turned suddenly to him, all of the ambient noise stopped, then the figure disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Fenton gasped and pulled his hand back, gripping it to his chest. His hand felt cold and numb, a shiver ran down his spine. He decided he must be seeing things and shook his head again.
In the distance, he saw something glowing; it looked like the same thing Phantom was following. Cautiously, Fenton pursued it slowly, deciding that it would lead him to his friend. He came to a trail, and followed it and the green glowing object up a dark hill. The trail led to long, twisted stone stairs. There was a faint light at the top of the hill, beckoning the teen. His mind told him not to go, but he had to find his friend. It seemed like forever before he neared the top, and saw Phantom standing there, facing away.
"Phantom!" he called again and ran up the last few steps.
The silver-haired teen slowly turned toward him, a trance like daze on his face, and suddenly a cloud of green, wispy, what looked like butterflies scattered from around him. The light behind him came from dimly lit lanterns, slightly revealing old Japanese looking buildings. The sight looked ghastly, Fenton shivered again, wrapping his arms around himself.
"W-what is this place?" he stammered.
Phantom was silent for a moment, then whispered, "The lost village between our worlds."


text: Hey guys, For anyone who's interested, after having tried a few times in the last few months (including once on FreeBSD) I've just succeeded in getting World of Warcraft running with Ubuntu Dapper Drake and Wine 0.9.31. Not LFS I know, but I might throw together a hint once I've figured out some more stuff. Briefly though...If you're interested in having a crack at it yourself, the instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft) can presumably be adapted; use the latest Wine 0.9.31. You might also want to take apart the Ubuntu deb from the wine repo to see if there are any wow-specific patches in it that we could adapt for LFS...that was going to be my next step. Another minor point is that although the OpenGL rendering of WoW looks gorgeous, you will not only need a powerful system/video card, (NVidia recommended) but you'll also need to hack WoW's Config.wtf file a bit, depending on how powerful your machine is. The thing you really want to work on getting down to a manageable point is the 3d draw distance in particular...your framerate will die if that isn't low enough. Mine is as low as I could get it without it causing weird glitches because of stuff not being drawn that was right in front of me. Although there have been a few people doing this for a while now, the ability to run this game is a major coup for Linux...Games are one of the last incentives people have had to use Windows. Take that away and there's very little left. The other great thing is that it's WoW...not Frozen Bubble. That does a lot for credibility. If we can write a hint, a prefab config.wtf file with some good defaults that someone can slap straight into the wow directory would prolly go great with it.

Is there a way to calibrate the keyboard? Mine has been going crazy (phantom types, multiple letters, weird screen pop ups etc). The problem seems to have gotten worse since installing ICS. Thanks, Amy
Does it only happen when you have a charger plugged in? That's what mine does...and only in the leaked ICS install. Gingerbread didn't exhibit the issue. (I can go back to .905 and the problem dissappears, but I can live with it cause ICS is so much better). Just a my 2 cents. Tim
What would the solution be? I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the keyboard when phone in regular position doesnt detect the backspace whwn 'pressing' it and flips over to the enterbutton or the m or l. And sometimes phantomletters. No errors when the screen is rotated (hotizontal). Thanks!
Yes, help please! Ive got this problem as well. Sometimes it even takes me five minutes to write a sentence because pressing backspace turns into an L. Ive already tried resetting keyboard settings but it didnt help. What to do now?
I need help too! My phone is doing the same thing! I try to press backspace and it hits L every single time - no matter how low I go. I literally have to hit it just right for it to actually backspace. It takes me forever to text! I actually have considered taking it up to Best Buy and having them look at it, but I'd prefer not to wait an hour for them to mess with it and tell me they have no idea what is going on! Any ideas of what I should do?
I have had a firmware update yesterday and all of a sudden everything works fine again. So my advice is to just wait for your firmware update to fix the problem.
Another question is what keyboard are you using? I'm using Swype Beta and don't have that sort of problem.
I a total noob conaidering these things. Id have to chech which keyboard Im using. I just got an automatic update from Android.
Okay. So i found this on the internet and its quite helpful. The firmware update hasnt been enables for US users yet so that might be the problem why you didnt understand me. Here's an article that might help you update your 4.1.1 jellybean to 4.1.2. : Galaxy S3 Receives Official Android 4.1.2 XXELLB Jelly Bean Firmware [How to Install]
Kind of silly question, but what phone do you have? If you have a Galaxy S3, then your question will be better answered on the Galaxy S3 area of this forum. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Droid Forums
Luckily yesterday I got the message that there was a software update available and now it's updated to 4.1.2. and, as you said, the problem is solved!! Yeay )
