I'm looking to downsize from my X20 for two reasons -size and lack of full analog control. The X70 seems to be the solution but when I visited my closest camera store (where did they all go anyway?) and took it outside I was having difficulty seeing the exposure indicator (I am in my 60s so eyes are not what they once were). It wasn't even a bright day - slightly overcast actually. So my question to users is this: any trick to increasing visibility of the exposure meter on screen? I thought...

I would like to purchase a "pocket" camera. eg. Fuji X20, but would like to enlarge prints to 1.2 meters by 0.9 meters. Would this camera do it ? If not, would the Lumix DMC LX100 [or similar] or would I have to go to a DSLR such as the Canon 1200D or Nikon D3100 ? Please help with the best recommendation at the lowest price [I am a pensioner]. I only take landscapes so I do not need interchangeable lenses

Hey! I bought my Fuji X20 a around 2 years ago and it had worked great. I almost have not used it the past year, and some months ago i tuned it on for the first time in some months and suddenly the view finder is blurry, and it doesn't work actually, it only doesn't show anything and instead of showing iso, shutter and focus point just all the view finder gets green when in focus, and red when the focus fails.

Hi All New to this Forum and I would need some advice from more seasoned Fuji users. I am very happy with my x20 and now that my DSLR is feeling its years, I decide to move to the X trans also for my interchangeable lenses system. I narrowed the contest between XE2 and XT1. I choose XE2 and not XE2S because apart a few buttons, I understand that with the latest firmware update, the "old" XE2 is basically a XE2S but around 400 Euro/450 USD cheaper. So here is the question: despite the obvious...

The X-Pro2 (and X200) will likely have an updated version of the 'digital rangefinder' mode of the X100T, which uses a little EVF in the corner of the OVF. I'm a diehard X100 user (now X100S), but I've never tried the T. What do you X100T users think could be improved in *this specific mode* (DRF)? Curious to understand what we might see in the next version of its implementation.

Hi guys, Nobody has made me any offers for my XE1. Does anyone know how much I should sell my XE1 with 18-55 and 35 1.4? Having said that, I have noticed that the X100 is not that small either compared to the XE1. I am still looking for a compact size camera to pair it with my sony A77II and I just happen to run across some photos I took with the X10. I really like the color output. I know for a fact that the skin tones look better in the X10 than the X20. Not sure about the X30. But there is...

Re: Soft Protective Lens Wraps
In reply to xlr8or • Aug 4, 2012
I have been using wraps or bags that I get at the dollar stores. These are made of a softer canvas-like material, have a plastic zipper. I have one for each of my Canon 70-200 f4 and 15-85mm and they compliment nicely the lens case for my 400L lens.
Been using these for about two years.
These 'cases' are used in both my (non-photo) backpacks for travel etc, as well as in my LowePro bags.
I don't 'baby' my gear but I don't abuse it. These cases provide ample protection at modest cost and take up very little space. Plus they are quite inconspicuous out there in the real world!

TALLIS: Spem in alium – Missa Salve intemerata
With a career spanning the monarchies of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I, Thomas Tallis's musical pragmatism became both a necessary and distinctive trait.
For its annual visit to the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, Glyndebourne brought its new production of Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, an opera which premiered 200 years ago.
'A caprice written with the point of a needle': so Berlioz described his opera Béatrice and Bénédict, which pares down Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing to its comic quintessence, shorn of the sub-plots, destroyed reputations and near-bloodshed of Shakespeare's original.
'This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.' It is, perhaps, a line quoted too often; yet, even though it may not have been entirely accurate on this occasion, it came to my mind. Its accuracy might be questioned in several respects.
Central City Opera celebrated the 60th anniversary of The Ballad of Baby Doe with a hip, canny, multi-faceted new production.
Someone forgot to tell Central City Opera that it would be difficult to fit Puccini's (usually) architecturally large Tosca on their small stage.
A cast worthy of Bayreuth made for an unforgettable Wagnerian experience at the Sommer Festspiele in Baden-Baden.
Loving attention to the highest quality was everywhere evident in Des Moines Metro Opera's Manon.
Des Moines Metro Opera had (almost) all the laughs in the right places, and certainly had all the right singers in these meaty roles to make for an enjoyable outing with Verdi's masterpiece
With the thermometers reaching boiling point, there's no doubt that summer has finally arrived in London. But, the sun seems to have been shining over the large marquee in Holland Park all summer.
J.S. Bach's cerebral Art of the Fugue in Aix, Verdi's massive Requiem in Orange, Ibn al-Muqaffa' 's fable of the camel, jackal, wolf and crow, Sophocles' blind Oedipus Rex and the Bible's triumphant Psalm No. 150 in Aix.
The champagne corks popped at the close of this year's Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Performance at the Royal Opera House, with Prince Orlofsky's celebratory toast forming a fitting conclusion to some superb singing.
Bryn Terfel is making a habit of performing Russian patriarchs at the Proms.
What happens when just everything about an operatic performance goes joyously right?
Two years ago, the well-established Des Moines Metro Opera experimented with a 2nd Stages program, with performances programmed outside of their home stage at Simpson College.
What to make of the unannounced decision to open this concert with the Marseillaise? I am sure it was well intended, and perhaps should leave it at that.
In a fairy-tale, it can sometimes feel as if one is living a dream but on the verge of being awoken to a shock. Such is life in these dark and uncertain days.
The tense, three hour knock-down-drag-out seduction of Beauty by Pleasure consumed our souls in this triumphal evening. Forget Time and Disillusion as destructors, they were the very constructors of the beauty and pleasure found in this miniature oratorio.
Three parallel universes (before losing count) — the ephemeral Debussy/Maeterlinck masterpiece, the Debussy symphonic tone poem, and the twisted intricacies of a moldy, parochially English country estate.
This, alas, was where I had to sign off. A weekend conference on Parsifal (including, on the Saturday, a showing of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's Parsifal film) mean that I missed Götterdämmerung, skipping straight to the sequel.
The culmination of Opera North's "Ring for Everyone", this Götterdämmerung showed the power of the condensed movement so necessary in a staged performance - each gesture of each character was perfectly judged - as well as the visceral power of having Wagner's huge orchestra on stage as opposed to the pit.
With a career spanning the monarchies of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I, Thomas Tallis's musical pragmatism became both a necessary and distinctive trait.
The famous turbulence of England's religious establishment in the sixteenth century, a bumpy see-saw ride between Roman and Protestant sensibilities, required of Tallis an unusual degree of adaptability. The range of his style, from pre-Reformation complex polyphony to the simple homophony of the English anthem, shows a composer attuned to his own compositional development, but equally mindful of the practical necessities of his vocation.
Much of the music on this recent release from Jeremy Summerly and the Oxford Camerata is from the early part of Tallis's career, when the large-scale votive antiphon and florid counterpoint were pervasive. The recording focuses on the antiphon "Salve intemerata" and Tallis's parody or "imitation" mass upon it. The antiphon is sumptuously expansive, and both it and the mass are rich in the contrapuntal interplay of lines and textures. The recording also features Tallis's most extravagant work, the famous forty-voice motet, "Spem in alium." Tallis here is perhaps responding to Alessandro Striggio's "Ecce beata lucem," another forty-voice tour de force, which the Italian composer could have brought with him to England on a diplomatic mission in 1567. But if its origins are speculative, its stature is not. One of the greatest manifestations of polychoralism, "Spem in alium" weaves imitative lines through the succession of eight choirs, unites all voices in sublime chordal homophony, and brings fragments of the tutti ensemble into exciting antiphonal dialogue.
These works and the few short English anthems that round out the recording are rendered with a welcome sense of direction. Summerly leads the Oxford Camerata with a sensitivity towards blossom and climax; the performances are dynamic and compellingly set in motion, never static. The choir sings generally with a full and robust sound--this is not the pristine, innocent blend of the Oxbridge chapel—and the strength of the singing can be exhilarating. However, maintained over vast stretches, it also can be a bit overwhelming. Here more variety in the level and intensity of the sound would be welcome, and might also encourage a more nuanced contour to the lines and overall clarity. The issue of blend seems most pressing in the treble. Significantly, however, in "Spem in alium," the individuality of the treble voices underscore the linear nature of much of the work, something that can easily be veiled in the midst of so grand a sonority.
The Oxford Camerata, now in its twenty-first year, has been prolific in the recording of Renaissance polyphony. Here, on the five-hundreth anniversary of Tallis' birth, their contribution to that celebration is a welcome one.

Is Sophie Monk engaged? Australian model steps out with a huge ring and bouquet of flowers
In September she said she had no desire to get married and wants to be single for some 'me time', but yesterday Sophie Monk stepped out wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger.
The model and newcomer to radio was seen leaving 2Day FM studios with the bling and a bouquet of flowers in Sydney.
Monk was photographed with a mystery man in Melbourne in December and after Mail Online published the story, she wrote on Instagram: 'I can confirm he has definitely seen me naked.'
Something to tell us? Sophie Monk stepped out with a diamond ring on her engagement finger in Sydney on Sunday
But the 34-year-old has not confirmed a relationship and was thought to be single.
The singer, model and actress who is also about to launch a radio career on 2Day FM has been engaged twice before.
She was first engaged to Benji Madden, whom she dated from 2006 to 2008. She also briefly dated Sam Worthington but their busy careers tore the relationship apart.
Then in January of 2011 she announced her engagement to Jimmy Eseberg, but a few months later they also ended their relationship.
New gig: Sophie was leaving the 2Day FM radio station in Sydney, where she will be working on the new breakfast show
When Sophie stepped out on on Sunday, she wore a loose fitting black and white stripped top, charcoal leggings and tan heel.
After living in Los Angeles for nearly nine years, Sophie left her Hollywood home late last year and moved back to Australia.
She has nabbed a gig on the radio breakfast show 2Day FM alongside Mel B, Jules Lund and Merrick Watts.
The star told OK! Magazine of the gig: 'I want people to know it's OK to be yourself.
'There's some stuff I've gone through that's really hard that I'm willing to reveal because there's nothing to be ashamed of if you've been through tough times like depression or eating disorders.'
New man? Sophie was seen hugging this mystery man in December, whom she said had 'seen her naked'

I am assuming the probiotics are working as they should but the tablet is large, uncoated and very difficult to swallow.
Thank goodness I finally found something that works and helps with my digestion of breaking down my food, and helping to relieve my constipation! After going to numerous doctors, for 20 years, for severe constipation and bloating, (I looked pregnant, all the time,) and their constantly telling me to get more fiber, exercising, endless laxatives, of every brand, and still no good results. Someone finally mentioned how about some digestive enzymes, so I happened to see them in Walmart, and decided to give it a shot, and the price was right. Low and behold after the 3rd day, I could sure tell a difference. I am much more regular, even if I just take one dose a day, but I do my best to take them with each meal. The taste is not to my liking, yuck, but I don't care, they work, and I will continue to use them. I keep a bottle in my purse, and one at the house, I am never without them. Whoever came up with this, I just want to say THANK YOU!
Having had my gallbladder removed 11 years ago, I have had digestive issues ever since. About 2 years ago I discovered this product and it has helped me resolve those issues. I have recommended this product to several people. I only have one complaint. The pills are rather difficult to swallow and I am not one of those people who had trouble swallowing pills. I would like to request possibly coating them or making them in a different shape, possibly coated caplets, to make them easier to swallow. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the results of this product.
These tablets resolved my husbands GERD and stopped his constant coughing that was caused by it!
I tried more expensive brands and they didn't work.
I think it's the consistency of these powdery tablets, causing them to dissolve immediately in the stomach, that makes them work when the food is there.
We take 2 with every meal!
Love this product and so happy that in the last few years it has not gone up in price!
I haven't been taking this product long enough to speak with any authority, but I have experienced significant results in a fairly short time. This product is a combination of probiotic bacterial strains, paired with powerful digestive enzymes. There is a lot of scientific focus these days on probiotics and gut health as they relate to overall well being. This product delivers a two pronged approach which can help regulate and improve gastrointestinal health. 75% of your immune system is in your GI tract, so the benefits of this approach are powerful. 200 tablets for under $7.00 affords the opportunity to see for yourself without a major investment. For seven bucks, you can't go wrong...
I take two after meals, sometime 3 if it's a "heavy" meal . They help me digest food and I appreciate the fact that they are not expensive. Locally I can only find them at walmart. No one else carries them. Mail order is easiest. Be warned that they can get stuck in your throat if you don't swallow them quickly. I wash them down with water or other non-carbonated liquid. Don't let them dissolve in your mouth or throat, the taste is "yucky" (that's my only complaint). Don't take them with a carbonated drink or you burp a lot. I discovered these at a walmart store back in 2010 and have been using them ever sense.
I've had weight issues for a long time and have not been successful long term on any diet. I began studying digestion system issues online and came to find out that I do have this type of issue and I had my gallbladder removed about 20 plus years ago and that was about when my weight got way out of control. I found these Spring Valley probiotic with enzymes to be the most affordable at Walmart and was anxious to give them a try. I was expecting a horrible fishy taste that was hard to swallow based on the reviews I had read, but I was pleased to say that they did not have a strong odor, my husband even said they didn't smell badly..maybe the manufacturer has coated them since then..but they are chalky but you can swallow them with juice or with a carbonated beverage if you have trouble swallowing with water. Anywho..today is day #3 on these, and I have noticed more energy, and have been sleeping very good the last couple nights. They work! As for weight loss...I will update in a couple weeks to let you know how that is going, but Im very optimistic about that too. I definately recommend these based on how they've made me feel in just 3 days.
These enzymes are less expensive than other brands but work very well.
I have such bad digestive problems with my stomach...gall bladder surgery...everything gives me gas...but I swear taking 2 of these pills before eating has helped a lot! A lot less gas ,pain and bloating
It seemed to reduce my appetite, and my digestion is a lot smoother, and so is elimination. I like the fact that it reduced my appetite, because it may help in weight loss. Have only taken it for a week or two so don't know the long term effects. It is recommended on the bottle to take 3 at a time, but that seems a bit much for me, so I only take one. It doesn't taste as bad as I thought it would, because one of the ingredients is "Ox Bile". The product has not been "evaluated by the food and drug administration" so the bottle says, so it's only in time will we know what effects "ox bile" will have on us. I DO notice I don't have as many problems with yeast as I did before.
Helps to control IBS
Product works well if you use at least {2} of the three pills that is recommended daily. It has an extremely offensive smell and taste so try and have some applesauce handy lol.
After taking it just once, I immediately felt it working. You might feel uncomfortable the first few days of taking it, but that just means it's working. Don't stop using it. Drink lots of water too!!!
Since they are not coated, the pills get stuck in my throat, very scary. now i think i scratched my throat trying again. oops. I guess they work well enough once they make it to the stomach!
I just start to use this product, therefore I am unable to rate it at this time
I personally believe this product has helped my gut be healthy.....along with cutting back on sugar and carbs. I have been using for over a year now and feel great.
I have tried similar products and I like this one the best.Helps with indigestion and gas.Good with hard to digest foods.I use it with every meal and have been for 2 months.Walmart price was $5 less than other stores and it has $.97 cent shipping.
I have ulcerative colitis along with IBS if you can believe that... well I've been going thru some horrible flares and decided to give this a try. Lo and behold it has helped in leaps and bounds! I highly recommend this to anyone who has digestive issues and needs some help to feel better naturally
In the interest of candor, I do work for Walmart, but my review is honest and glowing. I had been having intestinal problems for years, and my mother-in-law said she had started taking an acidolphilus supplement that was helping her. I always check Walmart first, found this supplement and began taking it almost a month ago. Within a week I noticed a difference, and after two weeks I began to feel "normal" again with no more gas pain or bloating. This product has really helped me!
With regards to the complaints about smell, I never noticed any smell or taste at all until I stuck my nose in the bottle before writing this review. I picked up a faint smell of green onion and grain silo (for anyone who has ever spent time on a farm), but it was very faint. I take three a day with each meal and I take them with a large gulp of water. No smell, no taste. I store the bottle in a locked kitchen cabinet with my other medications, far from moisture or humidity, so they stay cool and dry (one of the most common causes of smelly pills is storing in a bathroom medicine chest with constant humidity and warmth - perhaps the smelly pill people should change their storage site).
This is a GREAT product, and I would recommend it to anyone with digestion issues.

Fraternity removed, transfer students fill Greek house
The lions have been painted-over with USF green and the letters are no longer on the side of the building, but for the transfer students living in the house formerly belonging to the ousted fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE), its hard to ignore theyre living in the middle of Greek Village.
SAE vacated House 2 in Greek Village at the end of the fall semester after they were denied an appeal against charges of violating three university policies outlined in the Standards for Student Organization Conduct, including harassment and hazing.
According to a statement from university spokeswoman Lara Wade-Martinez emailed to The Oracle in November, SAE was charged with the alleged use of excercise-type activities and verbal degradation of potential members.
But after some cleaning and renovation to the building, some new male transfer students and three international students were assigned to live in the building.
My roommates and I talk about it, Javien Jackson, a sophomore majoring in biomedical sciences and a resident of the building, said. Its like everybody just kind of got stuck here.
Jackson, who said hes not sure if he is paying a different rate to live in the house, said he hasnt had too much interaction with the rest of Greek Village.
Its kind of like everyone just keeps to themselves, he said. We stay in our little place, hang out in our little lounge. Thats pretty much it.
But Christopher Mejia, a junior majoring in advertising and a resident of the house, said the experience has so far been positive and many of the other Greek houses have been welcoming to their new neighbors. Some houses wrote the new house welcome notes, he said.
Its an interesting experience to live in Greek Village, because its very different from other residence halls because not only is it unique in style, its also a part of the Greek community which is pretty close, he said. Being in a Greek organization myself, even though my organization doesnt have a house, it kind of allows me to pretend that I live in a Greek house. Its really cool and its a great experience for (the other residents), because a situation like this doesnt happen. When it happens, its because of unfortunate circumstances, but they get a unique experience that they wont ever be able to experience again.
According to a statement from Renee Svec, communications and marketing officer for Student Affairs, sent to The Oracle in November, members of SAE were working with Housing to determine what the next steps would be.
According to a emailed statement from Greg Bowers, assistant director of communications and marketing for Housing and Residential Education, on behalf of Dean of Housing and Residential Education Ana Hernandez, Housing & Residential Education will soon be soliciting and identifying a Greek Organization that would be interested in entering into a master lease with the university to commence either summer or fall 2013.
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Director Patrick Romero-Aldaz and Interim Dean for Students Danielle McDonald were unavailable for comment at the time of print.

Hi Everyone~
Let's make art! The new Wine and Canvas calendar will be released on 05/20 with painting classes for the month of June. These classes fill up pretty quickly, so it's wise to secure your spot by paying as soon as possible. The classes are 3 hours, giving you enough time to paint with ease and not stress about rushing to finish. I've attended several times and have always enjoyed it. The link is listed below for more information.
The cost is $ 35.00 which includes all art supplies and a professional artist to guide you with instructions to create your masterpiece. Drinks are sold separately.
Here is the painting we will be creating.
SIDE NOTE: This company also provides painting classes for kids called "Cookies and Canvas" for anyone with children. I've taken my nephew and he loved it.
I'm so excited. I've always wanted to go to one of these.

Sir Alex Ferguson States His Opinion About Jose's New Appointment
Among the different experts and influencers in the world of European football as Sir Alex Ferguson is one person whose opinion is usually sought out.
In the latest coach transfer case for Manchester United he has pointed out that Jose Mourinho should have thought twice before he decided to move back to Chelsea. Sir Alex is no stranger to Jose's achievements and his career progression over the years. The Scot, who is currently 74 years of age, feels that Mourinho had considerable success when he was with Old Trafford and they have definitely seen much of each other in the previous years.
Current manager of The Red Devils, Jose Mourinho wants German midfielder, Toni Kroos to rejoin him at Old Trafford, according to reports.
The Portuguese tactician is believed to be preparing a dream signing of the player for £31m from the Spanish giant Real Madrid.
Sir Alex Ferguson may not match Bob Paisley's record
Many speculate that Sir Alex Ferguson's biggest regret at Manchester United may be failing to match Bob Paisley's record of three European cups. Ferguson ended up with only two to his name.
The former United manager, though, has revealed that his biggest regret may be a surprising one for many since it involves the training ground. Ferguson said that once he made a trip to Barcelona that changed his view about the location of a gym. He feels that United should have had a gym overlooking the training pitches at Carrington. This, Ferguson says, is a great motivation to the players who are currently on the sidelines and trying to get back.
Alex Ferguson: ''Pochettino is the best manager in the PL''
Sir. Alex Ferguson is widely considered to be one of the best managers in the history of football as he guided Manchester United to 13 Premier League titles and 2 Champions League titles as well as numerous other pieces of silverware.
The Scottishman has an illustrious managerial career but there is something that put a stain to his legacy was the decision to appoint David Moyes as the head coach of Manchester United a few years ago.
David Moyes was recommended by Sir. Alex Ferguson to take over the managerial position of Manchester United but this was a disastrous decision as Moyes only lasted 10 months and was sacked after a string of disappointing results which left the club hanging in the middle section of the Premier League standings.
Sir. Alex Ferguon believes Leicester can win the Premier League
Leicester City has easily been the breakthrough club of the first half in the Premier League as they managed to position themselves at the top of the English League, ahead of everyone else and even though they don't have the same budget or big name players compared to other clubs in the same league, Sir. Alex Ferguson stated that Leicester City can actually come out on top and become the new champions of England.
Sir. Alex Ferguson stated that Leicester City can continue remaining in the top positions of the league as long as they invest wisely in the winter transfer window and don't allow any of their star players on exiting as this can seriously affect the balance that Claudio Ranieri has created ever since he took on the managerial position of the club back in July of 2015.
Robin Van Persie is feeling horrible after his country's crushing defeat
Robin Van Persie is feeling horrible after his country's crushing defeat at the hands of Turkey in a vital Euro qualifier the other day.
Turkey won that game 3-0 and displaced Netherlands from the third position in Group A.
Now, Turkey has got 12 points in the kitty in comparison to Netherlands' 10.
If the Dutch are not able to overtake that deficit somehow in the two games that they are left with, they will get eliminated and Turkey will advance to the playoffs.
Van Persie, who was relieved of the captaincy duties by Danny Blind as he had taken the charge of the side, had to wear the armband again at the Torku Arena in the absence of Arjen Robben.
The 32-year old striker was absolutely distraught at the conclusion of the game.
FA on New England Manager
FA has made it clear that England will have a new manager if the Euro Championships don't go to the expectations.
Currently in charge of England is Roy Hodgson who is supposed to enjoy a great relationship with FA, but, he has been told not to expect himself to be persisted with if he is not able to take the team deep into the tournament in France.
England has absolutely cruised through the qualifiers, but, that can't really speak volumes of their ability because the level of the opposition has not been that high. They will face the real challenge in tournament proper which they are almost qualified for already.
Hodgson has overseen England's campaign in two big tournaments so far since taking charge and both have been kind of disappointing.
Sir. Alex Ferguson thinks that David Gill is the ideal man to replace SeppBlatter
FIFA has recently been surrounded in a string of corruption scandals and things have gotten so serious that a number of executives from the football association have been arrested after it was confirmed that there indeed was something suspicious going on.
The FBI is still on a process of investigating other members of FIFA and the pressure has evolved at such a point that the president SeppBlatter decided to step down and resign.
The former manager of Manchester United, Sir. Alex Ferguson has given his point of view as to which person should replace SeppBlatter and turn into the next president of FIFA. The Scottish manager believes that David Gill has everything that is needed to repair all of the damage which has been caused in recent times.
José Mourinho has praised Sir Alex Ferguson
Chelsea boss José Mourinho has praised Sir Alex Ferguson for his multifaceted personality, which he is trying to replicate in his own game. Ferguson is regarded as one of the best managers in the game. He stepped down from his role at Manchester United almost 2 years ago.
The likes of Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are trying to take the position vacated by Ferguson. However, Mourinho says that it will take a very strong person in order to replace the Scot, as he had two faces to his game. Ferguson was always known as a manager had immense control over the referees.
Some people not satisfied with Louis Van Gaal work as Manager
Some people might say that they are not overly satisfied with the work put in by Louis Van Gaal as manager at Old Trafford, but, Sir Alex Ferguson has given full marks to the Holland native.
Sir Alex believes that Van Gaal should be credited for bringing in stability to the trembling ship of the Red Devils.
When Ferguson left in 2013 summer, he passed on the reins to his compatriot David Moyes with the hopes that he would take his legacy forward.
But, Moyes' term was an absolute disaster for United as not only did they fail to defend their Premier League title, they could not even make it to the European Cup causing the fans to be absolutely angry.

Outside looking in---
You guys do realize that just because President Obama, Foxx, Parker and Reed are black-- doesn't make them one and the same.
It sounds as if people are angry that they seem to be playing by the rules.
If being a male, black politician in America should insure some sort of "hook up" from all other male, black politicians in America ---
That logic would be quite an indictment on the political associations & effectiveness of the white majority (Democratic or Republican) heretofore.
Just because America has decided to use ALL of the weaponry in her arsenal to go forward--pulling the best & the brightest to the forefront---there is no need to panic because everybody doesn't look like "our kind of people"---Just look for the "content"! You know from that speech!
So---------the fact that Atlanta proactively choose to go forward with the Stadium project
And is now positioned for greater national sport opportunities allowing for community growth, construction & $$$!
Makes Mayor Reed the bad guy----how?
What is the real question? Why this comparison? What is the motivation? Both Mayors were elected by their cities to lead them into the the next season of growth. Mayor Booker is the mayor of Newark, not Atlanta. Mayor Reed has done a stellar job in preparing Atlanta for the fruitful bounty that is our future. As a Tale of Two Cities...Atlanta is a real page turner!

AmericInn Lodge & Suites Bismarck, Bismarck
No elevator!!
When we checked in, we requested a room change because we wanted a room facing the parking lot to keep an eye on our vehicle. We did not realize that there was not elevator until AFTER we had already changed our room. We decided to stay anyway, but wished we had not because the room was NOT clean (French fries on floor, dirty sink, and stained sheets on one of the beds)and the continental breakfast was sub-par. Needless to say, we will probably NEVER stay at an AmericInn again!!!

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Solar flares are like the Sun's equivalents of Earth's natural hazards, though of course they occur on a much larger scale. It would be nice to say such phenomena have minimal impact on the environment or life on Earth, but solar flares do strongly influence our local space weather, and produce streams of highly energetic particles in solar wind that can pose radiation risks to astronauts. Who knows what a biggie could do? While we wait for the answer, trying not to put the words "mass" and "extinction" together, don your protective glasses and prepare for some dazzling images of solar eruptions – like the limb flare above.
Image: NOAA
Solar flares are giant explosions in the Sun's atmosphere that release incredible amounts of energy. Putting our puny attempts at generating power firmly in their place, solar flares heat plasma to tens of millions of degrees Kelvin and accelerate particles to almost the speed of light, while emitting radiation across all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum – from radio waves to gamma rays.
Image: NASA and ESA via Australian Antarctic Division
Most flares occur in active regions around sunspots. They are triggered by the sudden discharge of stored magnetic energy in the corona, the Sun's plasma – or ionized gas – atmosphere, visible as a halo during solar eclipses. Above, one of the largest X-ray solar flares ever recorded is pictured, which took place in 2003.
In this video clip, we see what could be the first major flare of the next solar cycle exploding from a new sunspot. It seems solar flares go through peaks and troughs of activity in a cycle of 11 years or so. According to a recent article in Wired: "Last year marked what scientists thought was the solar minimum. But through the beginning of 2009, the sun stayed unusually quiet. That changed yesterday, when a major sunspot appeared on the backside of the sun."
Image credit: PD-USGOV
The image above shows a filament erupting during a solar flare, lifting off the active solar surface and blasting into space as an enormous jet of magnetic plasma. Observed at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, both the emission and absorption of energy that takes place during such events can be seen. The plasma physics of these processes is not completely understood, though the one certainty is that it's the Sun's magnetic field pulling the strings.
Image credit: NASA
This stunning eruption above is not a solar flare but rather a solar prominence, a huge cloud of gas suspended above the Sun and manipulated by – you got it – magnetic forces. Observed from the STEREO spacecraft orbiting the Sun, this prominence rose and cascaded to the right over several hours, like a flag unfurling, as it broke apart and streamed into space.
Prominences are relatively cool, though emphasis is on the word "relatively", as they can still reach a scorching 60,000 Kelvin in temperature. They appear to be the after-effects or so-called after-flares of solar flares proper.
Image credit: ESA/NASA
This next pic shows another prominence, this one handle-shaped and similarly huge. A prominence will often extend in a loop as it traces the Sun's magnetic fields. When prominences erupt, escaping the Sun's atmosphere, they tend to form over a timeframe of roughly a day, though stable prominences may linger in the corona for several months. Above, the hottest areas of the Sun appear almost white, while the darker red areas indicate cooler temperatures.
Image credit: NASA /JPL
When prominences break apart, they can give rise to a phenomenon known as a coronal mass ejection, such as the one pictured above. A coronal mass ejection is an ejection of material from the Sun's corona that sends a giant spray cloud of charged plasma particles, elements and the trailing coronal magnetic field hurtling into space. The force is comparable to a billion megaton nuclear bombs.
Image credit: NASA
In this next image, loops of highly charged particles burst from the Sun, whose turbulent surface sizzles at around one million Kelvin. The commotion of the charged particles creates a strong magnetic field that pulls the particles into the loops, like a ball of string in agitated hands. Over time, magnetic stress builds in the Sun's atmosphere until – boom! – the energy is released in massive explosions of the type we have been treated to here.
When the charged particles and X-rays released come to bombard the Earth – a la The Fantastic Four – they can disrupt communications and power systems while also posing a potential threat to satellites and astronauts in space.
According to NASA: "Understanding the difference between harmful and harmless coronal mass ejections is one of the biggest questions…[facing] scientists studying the face of the sun." Nevertheless, with the two STEREO systems observing the Sun from opposite angles, we are well placed to see such ejections in three dimensions instead of just one, and to better understand how solar storms travel through space.

This final image is not strictly speaking a solar but rather a stellar phenomenon, as it shows a tremendously powerful explosion from the distant star, EV Lacertae. Thousands of times more powerful than the largest solar flare observed to date, the consequences of this record-setting flare would have been of more concern had it occurred closer to home. Interestingly, EV Lacertae is a much smaller, weaker and younger star than the Sun, but because of its youth, it is spinning faster and whipping up gases to produce a far more powerful magnetic field. Makes one more than happy with our own Sun's middle-aged spread.

Poll Accuracy

Host Howard Berkes talks to Robert Blendon of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government about the accuracy and meaning of polls. Blendon says the farther away from an election, the less accurate the poll. He also says that respondents are reluctant to admit they won't vote for candidates from minority groups.

It's less than ideal compared to most third-party processors in there's virtually no ability to recover even the slightest of clipped highlights. As a result, if you choose to use Viewer you have to be more careful in your metering regarding highlights.
I use Viewer 2 to recover highlights. In the RAW developer, you can click an icon to find overexposed portions of the photo and make them blink. (There's another icon for underexposed portions, but underexposure isn't so often a problem.) If I have significant overexposure, I reduce the exposure setting. I get a lot of highlight recovery that way.
