Photos: Koki Kameda Getting Tough Sparring in Manila
By Ruben Casanova
The WBA world bantamnweight champion Koki Kameda has shifted his training camp in Manila, where the Japanese boxer is sharing the ring with tough local sparring partners. The formidable lefty Kameda defends his world championship against undefeated Mexican David de la Mora, on the 31st of August at the Nippon Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
Three time world champion looked strong and fast in his training.
"I'm boxing with fighters who are heavier than me. I want to get in great shape for the second defense of my crown," said the Japanese star.
The 118-pound champion is training in the Elorde Gym. Kameda has 25 victories, 16 by knockout and a sole setback. While David de la Mora has 23 wins, 16 by knockout, and no defeats.
Which Elorde gym is this?,looks like the one in paranaque,if it is damn that sucks since i have Tonsillitis right now,so i'm taking a break from training. Edit: yup i'm pretty sure thats elorde gym in sucat paranaque.Comment by Don Johnson on 08-09-2011

Next: Where No Man Has Gone Before
Recapper: MemorizePi
Episode: Season 1, Episode 2
Title: Charlie X
Previous: The Man Trap
Next: Where No Man Has Gone Before
Recapper: MemorizePi
- Charlie: Do you know about being with somebody? Wanting to be? If I had the whole universe, I'd give it to you, Janice. When I see you, I feel like I'm hungry all over. Do you know how that feels?
- Alas, Poor Villain: Charlie doesn't want to go back with the Thasians, as they aren't physically real like Kirk or Rand. Kirk evens argues for a chance for Charlie to stay if he can be rehabilitated. But the Thasians point out they can't undo the talents they'd given Charlie to survive on their world. Charlie begs to stay... stay.... stay.........
- Big "NO!": Charlie screams it when a Thasian ship arrives to take him home to his kind.
- The Blank: Charlie erases several random crew members' faces while having a tantrum.
- Characterization Marches On: Spock is smiling throughout Uhura's performance serenading him, merrily strumming along on his Vulcan lyre without so much as a quip or a sarcastic comment when she's finished. This is unquestionably the most laid-back we ever see Spock (without mind-altering devices being at work), and rings very false for him - contrast Spock and Uhura interacting the previous week in "The Man Trap".
- Chiaroscuro: In the gym when Kirk and Charlie are facing off, the lighting somehow changes mid-scene to make both Charlie and Kirk appear as though they are in a typical Film Noir scene with venetian blinds. Also, their eye areas are highlighted to emphasize the drama and tension.
- Creator Cameo: Gene Roddenberry provides the voice of the Galley Chief amazed at the appearance of real turkeys.
- Death Glare: Charlie has one using his powers. Kirk gives him one of his own after he breaks Spock's legs.
- Disconnected by Death: The Antares
- Disproportionate Retribution: Charlie makes a crewmember in the gym disappear because he laughed at Charlie getting put on his ass by Kirk. A gaggle of anonymous crewmembers are rendered faceless because they just happened to be laughing when Charlie stormed past. One female crewmember is turned into a lizard after expressing genuine concern for him. And Charlie wonders why nobody likes him.
- Downer Ending: Charlie only wanted to be liked and accepted by the crew. His temper and "talent" make it impossible but it's not his fault (entirely) since he'd been alone since age three.
- Expy:
- Many have compared Charlie to Anthony Fremont from The Twilight Zone episode It's a Good Life.
- Also to Valentine Smith from the novel Stranger in a Strange Land.
- Some may have noticed the title "Charlie X" and a connection to a certain Charles Xavier. The debut of the comic book X-Men does predate this episode by three years but Professor X (who rarely if ever goes by "Charlie") is of course a mature man with telepathic (not telekinetic) powers that he only uses for the good of mankind. Also, at the time of this episode, the X-Men were one of the more obscure Marvel titles. It's most probable that any similarities were coincidental.
- Explosive Instrumentation: The communication console emits a shower of sparks and burns Uhura's hand. Justified in this case because it's Charlie using his powers to prevent communications with anyone outside the ship; Uhura states that there wouldn't normally be any reason for it to do that.
- Gaussian Girl:
- Yeoman Rand gets the fuzzy treatment in all her close-ups (and not just the ones that are representing the infatuated Charlie's point of view).
- So, for some reason, does William Shatner.
- His Name Is...: The Antares tries to contact the Enterprise to warn them about Charlie (presumably after they felt they were a safe distance away), but Charlie destroys their ship, trying to pass it off as being a result of the ship being poorly built. Nobody buys it at this point.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: The entire crew of the Antares.
- Psychic Powers: Charlie can do lots of things, including transmogrification and making people involuntarily recite poetry.
- Psychopathic Man Child/Teens Are Monsters: Charlie, with his ability to make people vanish.
- Red Shirt: The one guy in the gym that laughs at Charlie. Charlie starts his rampage by making him disappear. Interestingly, he's wearing a red dogi. Other crewmembers of all uniform colors suffer in some way or another for offenses both great and small.
- Reset Button: The Thasians undo everything Charlie did on the Enterprise, but are unable to do anything for the crew of the Antares, who were killed by a warp core breach (caused by Charlie) rather than merely being transformed or disappeared.
- No Social Skills: Charlie has insufferably poor social skills.
- Replacement Goldfish: Rand attempts to invoke this by setting Charlie up with a cute blonde crewmember closer to his age, but Charlie is utterly disinterested.
- Shipper on Deck: The latter part of Uhura's song comes a bit across as if she is this for Charlie and Rand. But maybe she, like everyone else at first, merely considers this amusing without taking it all too serious.
- Significant Reference Date: The episode was initially intended to air around Thanksgiving, hence the turkeys reference. However it ended up airing earlier due to it being the only completed episode at the time.
- Spiritual Antithesis: The episode can be seen as an antithesis of Robert A. Heinlein's novel Stranger in a Strange Land, which was published just five years before that episode aired. The plots of both works are essentially the same: an orphaned young man with nigh-omnipotent psychic powers is forced to adjust to human society after living his entire life among aliens, and finds himself entranced by the mysteries of human women. But while Heinlein's Valentine Michael Smith is a blissfully innocent figure who tries to use his powers to rid the human race of everything holding it back, Star Trek's Charlie Evans is a chillingly amoral figure whose alien upbringing leaves him incapable of using his powers responsibly. While Mike ends up successfully founding his own religion and social movement, Charlie is forcibly banished from human society for life.
- Stalking Is Love: That's what Charlie thinks, anyway.
- Stepford Smiler: The captain of the Antares and his navigator, though eager to leave as soon as possible, are otherwise acting as if everything is fine. This may be partly so that Kirk doesn't get suspicious, but maybe also out of fear that Charlie will make them vanish too if they don't keep up a good mood.
- The Stoic: Spock doesn't think having his legs broken is worthy of mention until Kirk asks him to stand up.
- Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: The Thasians, who put everything right - except for the fate of the Antares - in about two minutes.
- The Talk: Charlie's social awkwardness around girls is bad enough that Bones decides the boy needs to learn the rules. So he convinces Kirk to give it. And Kirk, of all people, gets too embarrassed to give it straight at all.Kirk: There's no right way to hit a woman.
- Unnecessary Combat Roll: Kirk demonstrates it for Charlie, and insists it's important when Charlie just wants to learn how to fight. Justified because Kirk is actually showing him how to fall safely when hit, which is just as important as being able to return the blow.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: Charlie shows Yeoman Rand a "card trick" in which he tosses a card aside and makes it reappear down the front of her low-cut uniform. She's understandably startled and perhaps annoyed, given that the crew doesn't yet know about Charlie's powers and she can only assume that he pulled a rather naughty bit of sleight-of-hand.
- Wild Child: Everyone assumed Charlie took care of himself from a very early age, explaining his horrible social conduct. Well, he did indeed have no human contact, so that does basically explain it.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Charlie has No Social Skills, desperately wants to be liked and have friends, and has no sense of proportion when people don't treat him the way he wishes them to. Oh, and he is omnipotent. Picture a corporeal version of Q with No Sense of Humor and you have Charlie in a nutshell. The result is a maladjusted teenager who everyone is afraid of, who tries to make people like him by punishing them whenever they make him unhappy.

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Tabitha Alterman
shallot recipes, cooking with shallots, French onion soup recipe
French Shallot Soup Recipe makes 4 servings.
This version of classic French onion soup is simple to prepare; though it takes a while, most is hands-off time. For the best flavor, don't rush the soup, don't skip the wine and cognac, and make your own beef stock from bones. You can mix any proportion of onions and shallots in this recipe. Shallots are milder than most onions, but they also have a garlicky note. If you're not sure how much you like shallot flavor, a safe start would be to use half onions and half shallots. Here's some helpful shallot math: 1 medium shallot weighs about a half-ounce and dices into approximately 1 tablespoon; 1 large shallot dices into about 2 tablespoons; and 1 pound of whole shallots yields about 4 cups diced.
2 batches caramelized shallots and/or onions (see Caramelized Shallots Recipe) 2 tsp unsalted butter 1 quart beef stock, at room temperature 1 cup red or white wine (optional) 1 to 2 tsp cognac per serving (optional) 4 thick slices day-old bread (traditionally baguette) 4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated or cut into 4 thick slices
Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a deep pan, stockpot or Dutch oven. Add the caramelized shallots and stir to warm through. Add the stock and wine. Simmer for at least 20 minutes and up to 40 minutes. Near the end of cooking time, preheat oven broiler.
Divide the soup into 4 ovenproof bowls, and stir 1 to 2 teaspoons of cognac into each bowl. Gently float a slice of bread in each, then add the grated or sliced cheese atop the bread. Broil until golden and bubbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully to prevent burning.

console wars are still raging with the Xbox
360, Wii, and PS3
all fighting for what money is left in the pockets of gamers during
the recession. The three consoles are all selling, but some of the
major companies are seeing profits drop significantly as demand
softens.One of the great things about the PS3 is that Sony is
always adding new features and tweaks to the console via firmware
updates. In addition to adding new features to the PS3, Sony is also
working hard to make the console's operating system
smaller.Joystiq reports
that Sony has quietly updated the PS3 over the last few months
to unlock
extra RAM for developers. The latest firmware update
reportedly adds an extra 70MB of RAM for the developers to use. The
extra RAM comes as a result of reducing the footprint of the PS3 OS
from 120MB to 50MB.SCEA's Patrick Seybold confirmed to the
publication the change had been made. Seybold said, "Since the
launch of the PS3, we have been continuously making efforts to
reinforce our support system to game developers, allowing them to
express their creativity freely on the PS3. As part of this support
for game development, the size of the PS3 OS memory footprint has
been reduced through network update for the game
developers."According to developers, the extra RAM is
nice and they aren't going to complain, but gamers shouldn't expect
huge improvements in games with the extra RAM available. An unnamed
developer told Joystiq,
"Any bit of RAM helps. Generally it probably won't change
design, but might allow extra effects resolution or dynamic lights or
something. Probably more beneficial from the systems and art side
then from design/gameplay."
quote: ...Sony is also working hard to make the console's operating system smaller.
quote: 256Mb seems awfully low for a machine with a supposedly 10 year life span.
quote: Not really, it just means you can't approach coding like some jackass C# developer who needs a memory nanny to keep you from running the system out of space.

D800 -- Nothing really new?
I recently responded to a forum thread asking about the impacts of greater resolution. I too have wondered whether, as some are claiming, the 36mp sensor magnifies problems with lenses and technique. In my response I asked if we had the same discussion when Nikon introduced the D700 and many of us changed from the D200. I don't think so, but it may be another sign of age catching up with me.
In essence, what we have seen is parallel to introduction of a new film 20 years ago. We still use lenses to gather and then form an image on a plane. We still use focus mechanisms and systems to view and select a point of focus. So in the end, like replacing older films with newer ones, we have replaced an older sensor with a newer one that is capable of resolving more lines per millimeter and capturing light with a broader scene brightness range. Like the those transitioning from the D200 to the D700 not questioning this kind of advantage, we never heard people say that moving up to a new film was going to result in inferior results unless we bought new lenses, used high shutter speeds and stayed above f8 to avoid diffraction.
I hear the arguments about down sizing images or something or other, but I just don't see how better ability to record an image can be bad. Am I, in my aging status failing to grasp something here? I'll throw this one out for comment now.

>something here? I'll throw this one out for comment now.
You have reached out to grasp, and failed --- because there was nothing there to grasp!
I, too, am perplexed to hear numerous people state that the extra resolution "magnifies" lens problems, "magnifies" camera motion, and "provokes" diffraction.
None of that is true, except if you plan to actually use those 36 megapixels by producing prints which were impossible with 12 megapixels, or by cropping way beyond the capability of your 12 Megapixel camera, or by obsessive pixel-peeping.
It can be bad only if we somehow create irrational expectations that the extra resolution will cleanly break the laws of physics and nature.

Jerry - Or do you suppose that the D800 simply doesn't automatically make people's pictures turn out better?

After I got the bill for the grip, my hands were shaking so badly all my images were soft --- had to downsample everything.

> None of that is true, except if you plan to actually use those 36 megapixels by producing prints
This is the catch right here. If you normally downsize your pictures for your uses, be it web viewing or whatever, then you are not gaining anything from the increased megapixels. Any problems in your technique or equipment will be minimized by the downsizing. From that perspective, saying with the D700 would work fine.
For the folks who are actually using all 36 mp, the errors in technique and equipment as shown by the increased camera resolution are realities that they need to work through.
As a personal example, this was something I had to deal with when I upgraded from the D70S to the D200.
What the D800 gives beyond the quantity of pixels is the increase in quality of the pixels, which is not lost in any downsizing of the images.

I've noticed a big difference in my lenses - a difference that I could not see with any earlier camera. Now that's good and bad. My 24-70 is still a favorite lens. But my 600 f/4 is the one that is spectacular in the sharpness.
Just for fun, I tried an older lens recently - a Tamron 28-200 that sells used for about $65. Wow - you could really tell the difference! Every image was soft all over the frame - even stopped down to f/8. Sure I can downsize them and use it for web posts and small prints, but at 100% it was remarkably soft. Film prints with this lens were okay - not perfect - but fine for normal use. The D800E really shows the flaws.
The lens is going to charity and will never be used again.

Actually, we did. I remember wondering how horrible our images would be unless we had the best glass. The pixel peepers lost that scare attempt.

I don't either, but as they say, ignorance is bliss.
My wife, who is not critical, is amazed at the image the D800 produces and I shoot like I did with my D100. The increased DR, color , and resolution is stunning.
Edited to add: in deference to Eric's comments, all my glass is f/2.8 glass though.

You are completely correct in theory. In practice, I am going to sell some of my older lenses like the 135/2 or 180/2.8. They still give the same good results on the D800 as they did on the D700, a bit better even. But modern lenses give *much* better results on the D800 than on the D700. And I prefer much better over a little better.

Higher quality lenses have always produced better images while even 35mm format could show the weaknesses of poor lenses.
With 35mm film, making large prints with great image quality required decent equipment, the knowledge, and skills to use the equipment. The latter being called good technique. And for many that included the use of a tripod, mirror lockup, and a shutter cable to get the best images. The other concern for the best of images was diffraction.
During the several decades before the demise of film, film did not go through evolutionary capabilities increasing image resolution anything close to what has occurred with digital sensors, unless one moved to a larger format. So some have forgottones, or became lazy, or never learned good techniques.
So I see nothing new when it comes to the D800, except the increased resolution of the D800 (and other cameras) over previous digital cameras has reminded or taught many that it does take a certain level of finesse and skill.
There are a couple of major pluses for the D800 -
- when downsizing images one can usually hide small errors in technique, actually pretty large errors
- the high dynamic range and the greater detail does provide better quality downsized images in comparison to the same image taken on a less capable system
- the D800 brings out the best that lenses can produce, and that is something I do not remember any 35mm being capable of doing.

Clint - I agree that the D800 -- which I unfortunately do not yet own -- probably surpasses any 35mm camera-film combination. I say that because I think the D700 - D3 family actually or nearly did so as well.
I just threw this thought out for discussion and to check my suspicion: that is, that the D800 does not make people better photographers. If they already have developed a high level of skills and continue to bear down, the camera will deliver superior results. If they could not take decent photos with any earlier Nikon DSLRs, they are not likely to do so now either, regardless of the camera.
That said, I don't ever tell people they have "too much camera." I just urge them to study, practice and in all other ways strive to push themselves to produce the finest images -- as measured by content and quality -- they are capable of.
Thanks to all for joining in -- and don't quit now if you have ideas to share. I hesitated to spend the $3 grand for a D800, choosing to stick with my D700 bodies. I will keep them for their uses -- probably sports and certainly when I am shooting an event and know I will not need the huge RAW files the D800 produces -- until all my other equipment, such as computers and storage, move ahead to render this concern moot. Then there will likely be two D800 cameras in my bag with a D700 back up at home.

I have an added twist to add. A camera is always more than the specifications speak to. Much of a great camera is how well all of the parts and sub-systems contribute to the overall capabilites.
I've now had a pretty good opportunity to shoot with D600, D700, D800, D7000 and D7100 bodies and I have found a significant trend. The only camera that has not had a fair shakeout (less than 5,000 images under a variey of circumstances) in my trend analysis is the D7100, but I do not have much doubt that it could exceed the trend of what I have found. All of these are very fine peices of gear!
Bottom line is I have kept a significant higher percentage of shots from the D800 than any other of these cameras. It not only the quality of the subsystems, but the synergy of them working together to a best overall performance.
So the supposition that the 36mp magnifies problems is just the opposite of my experiences.

I don't want my whole blog secure, because when I comment on other blogs they don't like https: links and I have to use http: and then visitors may get the warning about a mix of secure and insecure items.
So I just want the page where visitors log in to be behind an https: link, so when people log in their name and password are secure.
Unfortunately, I can't see an easy way to do this. Is there one? I'd rather not hack my install, but if that's my only option, c'est la vie.

The problem with this is that the Auto club never checks to see if the student is still in the 12 units by the end of the session. City Colleges run 3-4 session a year ususally 3 months with classes offered on 2 days a week 3 days a week or 4-5 days a week. Depending on the class the units can verify. Some Units can be 2, 3, 5, with a 1 unit lab. Depending on where you are at at the college you can enroll with the understanding that if you take 12 units of which would be 4 classes and state that when renewal is in effective. Go to the school and have the paper signed, then drop out before the withdraw period and have the 300.00 to 400.00 discount on your parents policy.
This is unfair and the Auto club does not check to even see if the student is enrolled in a class or if she or he is taking 12 units or less. All they care about is if they are. If a student cannot get the classes needed due to time, transportation or location for that session they might only be able to take 2 classes and be put on a awaiting list of which that does not help when they want that info.
This is an unfair discount given to many people who once again BUCK the system and there should be laws and information in place to prove you are taking 12 units. If you cannot take that many for that session you should still get the student discount as your grades have gone up! It should be based on grade point average not units, because you can be taking 17 units and get all D's but still get the discount because you are in the unit level.
This is unfair and should be looked at and revised!

I knew that Kitchen Aid mixers were rated highly, but when my husband surprised me with the Artisan mixer, I could not have imagined how much better my baking turned out with this product. I have made meatballs that were perfectly blended, delicious, hearty breads, and cakes with the lightest, fluffiest texture I have ever tasted. I know it is vastly superior to my previous mixer, and I find myself looking for recipes just to use it as much as possible. My husband chose the Expresso color, which frankly I would not have chosen, but I have come to love. It is a deep, rich color and I get many compliments on it. I am currently waiting for the grinder attachment to arrive, and I look forward to using that as well. I honestly cannot imagine ever using another brand of mixer from this point forward.

I had an Oster Kitchen Center that lasted 25 years with no problems. The motor just finally wore out. I replaced my Oster with the Artisan Kitchenaid. The first year was great but the machine did not perform to my expectations after that. The lock does not hold. It always works its way out. The bowl does not stay locked in place. I make a lot of bread. I can only make 2 loaves at a time and even then I have to hold the bowl in place. It can get tricky to use sometimes because as I am holding the bowl in place the top is jumping up and down because the lock is not holding. Sometimes I have to ask another family member to either hold the top down or have them turn off the machine. I just don't have enough hands to use the machine. Will not buy another one of these. I will spend the extra money on a Bosch next time.

Excellent (perhaps not for bread)
By Chef A
from Boston, M
Comments about KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer Tangerine:
Since purchasing I have used this KitcheAid for:1) mixing burger meat: GREAT for this! keeps your hands clean, avoids compacting meat leading to delicious juicy bugers2) scones: so fast!3) coffee cake: makes creaming butter & sugar a breze!4) bread dough: NOT IDEAL for this. After just one loaf it messed up the alignment of the height of the mixer head (easy to fix but would get annoying to do after each time kneading)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love my mixer!
By Squeak
from Florida
I haven't had this product long, but I have been waiting for a long time to get one! Right out of the box it feels like a good quality product. I used it to make a batch of cupcakes, cookies, and icing for both the first day. It worked amazingly! If I had to come up with a con I would say that I wish it came with a cover to keep it clean when not in use. So far it's the highlight of my kitchen!

By Rev., Caterer, Dad - David

For many years I have wanted to get a mixer like this. Finally, I was able to. I have been thrilled with the many features and usability of this mixer. I HIGHLY recommend getting all the attachments when purchasing this mixer. If you have never made homemade sausage before, once you do you will be hooked. I would have given it a total of 5 stars, but no one or nothing is perfect...except God.

Love my Kitchenaid mixers!
By The Nurse Cake Lady
from McComb, MS
This is my second Kitchenaid mixer. I often have both going at the same time (I'm a beginning cake decorator.). I love both of my mixers. The only thing I would like different is a better "guard". Even with the guard in place I still get powdered sugar all over my kitchen sometimes. The mixers themselves are a dream!
Finally Have It!
By lalTX

I have waited for many years for my old stand mixer to give out so I could purchase the almighty KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and I am so I finally I finally have it. I love it, it works like a champ! I love the "splash" guard, helps when adding ingredients. I also purchased the Flex Edge Beater, which is amazing. The mixer is heavy, but that is just the way it is.

The Best!
By Diana
from Bradenton, Florida
We recently had our kitchen renovated and my husband bought me the KitchenAid Artisan In the Stainless to match my new kitchen. This replaces a still-working KitchenAid mixer that I've had and used for 35 years. The quality of my new mixer is as high as it was when I got my first mixer all those years ago. I would never have anything other than a KitchenAid!

Over all it is a nice system. It installed in about an hour, my only issue is I like to keep the the tip up tight to the fender and the pre welded brackets on the system do not allow for fine tuning. The tip hangs about 2 and 1/2 inches below fender.

Vinni Puh video – The Russian Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh has been around since the 1920's. In the early 1960s the character was licensed to Disney for a series of features that debuted in 1966. The Russian version of this cartoon known as Vinni Puh aired in 1969. You can see an episode here.
It's weird to see the Russian interpretation. I'm so used to the chunky orange American version. This guy looks like an Ewok.
Really enjoyed the video. Many thanks to Chris for sending this our way.

There is no question that, in this day and age, computers have become a necessity in our society. From simple doodling and homework to complex business strategies and massive storage of private and government data, computers have indeed been an indispensable partner in modern life. However, the use of computers is not limited for "serious" business. For other people, it's all about fun and games.
Every computer owner has, in one way or another, played a game or two in their respective units. Whether its single player games like Plants vs. Zombies™ and Angry Birds™ or the more competitive massively multiplayer role-playing game such as Defense of the Ancients (DotA)™ and Counterstrike™, every computer user has inevitably become a 'gamer' in their own geeky ways. Unfortunately, leisurely activities such as these take their toll on your computer – specifically your graphics driver.
In technical terms, a graphics driver contains a series of mathematical instructions that activates the computer's graphics device, usually the display screen. They are used from sound devices, to gaming, to kitchen modeling. It uses the PCI Express interface and is responsible for determining the maximum resolution for your display along with the number of colors that can be displayed. Normally, this driver is already integrated into your motherboard when you purchased a computer. Like other Windows Drivers, a graphics driver benefits from updating rather than by leaving it as it is for long periods of time.
For those who uses their computers solely for gaming purposes, the decision on whether to update your graphics driver usually depends on the game's developer. In order to maximize the hardware, most video card manufacturers collaborate with various game developers to release driver updates that would ultimately improve your display's performance. You can achieve this by following the steps listed below in order to update your graphics driver:
Create a system restore point. Don't do anything until you have created a backup plan, just in case the update does not yield the results you are hoping for. A system restore point allows your operating system to roll back to its previous state – before you have installed or updated anything.
You can do this by right-clicking "My Computer" then "Properties". This will open the Control Panel Tab. Click "System Protection" then go to "System Restore". This will automatically create a restore point for you.
Find out what type of video card you are using and get its manufacturer's name. You can do this by right-clicking your Desktop and selecting "Properties". This will open the Display Properties Tab. Go to the "Settings" Tab, you can find out the chipset type and the video card's manufacturer on the Display line.
Visit the manufacturer's website to get the latest drivers. Most video card manufacturers have a download site in which you can download and install updated drivers. Just follow their instructions and you're all set. Of course, it is not unheard of that the drivers offered by the manufacturer is not supported by your operating system. If that is the case, then it is better if you visit your unit's website – that is, if you are using a Dell™ system then you must download the latest drivers from their website. The same goes for other computer brands.
After updating and restarting your computer, the display may revert back to its default low-resolution display. Fret not. Just adjust your screen settings in the Display Properties Tab.
Even if you are not using your computers excessively for gaming or gardening configuration, you can benefit in updating your graphics driver since it not only improves performance but also fixes any bugs and glitches that were present in your system.
So what are you waiting for? Update your graphics driver and let the games begin!

Tokujin Yoshioka will exhibit Stellar, a new chandelier made from crystal at the Swarovski Crystal Palace during the upcoming Salone del Mobile in Milan.
"In 2005, I designed a futuristic chandelier entitled "Stardust", which expressed a scene where moving images being projected onto the dark night sky by an infinite particle of lights. Three years later, in 2008, I designed a stool "Eternal". For this work, I had an image of bringing down the star cluster and its brilliant beauty from the sky and sealing them eternally in the transparent lump. This year, I intend to create a star, descended from the sky emitting many rays of light in the space; thus I would like to name this work "Stellar".

Katharina Fritsch first showed her work in the United States in 1994, at the Dia Center for the Arts. There she debuted Rattenkönig (Rat king), her now famous work in which 12-feet-tall black rodents face outward in a circle, towering over the viewer, their tails bound together in a giant knot. Like all Fritsch's work, Rattenkönig is simultaneously seductive and unnerving. She often transforms quotidian objects or ordinary looking figures into something new and strange, through repetition and manipulation of scale and color. Her sculptures are the result of a time-consuming process: a piece is usually molded by hand, then cast in plaster, reworked, and then cast again in polyester.

In this installment, Jim shows how to shoot outdoors during twilight, what photographers refer to as the magic hour. He goes on location to create an exterior photo of a busy pizzeria, employing five wireless strobes strategically placed both inside the building and on its exterior.
His approach to lighting the scene involves balancing all of the scene's light sources—the twilight from the sky, the interior light of the pizzeria, the existing lights on the outside of the building, and the output of his strobes—in such a way that the final photo doesn't appear to have any special lighting at all. He demonstrates a variety of inexpensive lighting tools—clamps, gels, and other light modifiers—to accomplish this goal.
Also discussed is the importance of planning and setting up ahead of time to maximize shooting time when the light is waning. The course wraps up with tips on planning for gear, estimating the amount of time available to shoot, shooting in manual mode, and using a camera's histogram to judge exposure.
- Preparing for a shoot
- Using light modifiers, clamps, and other lighting accessories
- Changing the quantity, aim, and color of strobes to balance existing light
- Using twilight calculators to estimate available time
- Manually adjusting aperture and shutter speed
- Composing the shot
- Assessing the results
- Tips to remember for outdoor sessions
Skill Level Intermediate
Okay, I've taken this camera. This is again a Nikon D3S. We have on the top an SU-800 trigger. The PocketWizard is very, very similar. There is a Canon device, an SDE 2, which again is very, very similar. And what this is going to do is put out a signal when I press the shutter release and it's going to fire all these strobes simultaneously if we've done it properly. So the first thing I'm going to do here is I'm just going to do a test and see if the strobes fire.
Now what I need to do is double-check and make sure that the lights inside the restaurant are also going off. The strobes have been placed in such a way that these strobes have a sensor in them and it will see the signal put out by this SU-800, the two strobes inside the restaurant will see the lights, because these are aimed at 45 degree angles, they are crossing to each other. We're talking about the technology of making all this fire. So the strobes inside should see the strobes outside.
If I can just make one of these fire, and in fact, I can make two of them fire, then I can make all four of them fire. That one is going off, and that one should be going off. There are a couple things going on right here. When the sun hits the horizon, most people think that they are going to shoot a sunset picture, they are going to shoot a silhouette and when the sun hits the horizon, they are finished. In my world when the sun hits the horizon, that's my time to go to work.
If any of you remember the movie Beetlejuice with Michael Keaton, there was a great scene in that movie where he said, "Show time!" So this is my show time right now. So when that sun hits the horizon that's when I get really, really busy, because I know that the sky is going to go darker and I know that the light in the front of the restaurant is going to get relatively brighter and I know that my strobes are going to get relatively brighter. So I've got one set of lights coming down and I've got another set of lights that are constant, but they are going to appear to get brighter.
In fact, the light on the strobe, while I can modify them a little bit, the light on the strobe doesn't change, but it's going to appear to change, because the ratios between the sky and the strobes and the signs on the front of the restaurant are going to change, in relative terms. Let's see if we've got it right. So now I'm trying to take a classic picture of this pizzaria, and so I'm aligning the photograph up pretty straight.
I'm trying to keep my own reflection out of this window here, so I've got the camera and myself right behind a brace in the window. So I know that my reflection is not going to be in the window. So we've got everything lined up real straight. So the first thing I'm going to do is just to see that everything is firing and that it all looks good. So I align the camera up and this is a Nikon D3S camera. It's got a 24-70 millimeter lens on it. A medium focal length zoom and right now I'm at about 26 or 27 millimeters.
One other detail that we've done is we're backed up on the sidewalk here in Ventura in such a way that we're out of traffic, because getting hit by a car would just absolutely ruin the whole thing. So we've chosen the lens very carefully to be able to shoot from the sidewalk and to move the camera in as close as we can to the pizzeria and make it all work, and it's a relatively straight composition. At the same time, we checked things out.
We know that the lights on the top of the restaurant they are solar-powered. They are going to come on in just a couple of minutes, which is going to be terrific. They are going to light up the pizzaria sign. So we're anticipating that that light is going to come on in just a few minutes. And again, we're trying to get everything in balance, so that it all looks like it's just a completely natural straight shot. In fact, we've massaged it very carefully. We have some elements of taking a picture, we have some elements of making a picture, and that's what the drill is for right now.
So let's just see if it all works. Fantastic! Okay, so now I'm shooting the camera in Manual mode, M. By shooting the camera in Manual I can separate the aperture part of the photo from the shutter speed part of the photo. The aperture part of the photo 5, 6, 8, 11, 16, that is going to control the amount of light that the strobe puts out in what's called TTL or Through-The-Lens.
The manual part of the photo, the shutter speed part, controls the sky. So if I want to take the sky down in terms of exposure, I dial in and I go to a faster shutter speed. So it's this interplay of shutter speed and f-stop, and I can make the sky go relatively darker. In other words, I'm controlling the ratio between what the strobes are putting out and what the lens is recording on the shutter speed side.
So as I go through the viewfinder, I can see these two sets of exposures. I could also do the same thing by setting the camera in Aperture mode, A. And it's called A on both Nikons and Canons. So on the Canon it's called AV, but in both cases it's Aperture mode. So I can use that as a way of checking these two types of exposures. So let me try it again.
And I can see that this light is a little bit too bright, I need to move it over just a little. So I'm going to make a couple of small adjustments. I'm going to turn that light down just a little, and I want to move it up under the awning so it's not showing quite so much, and I'm going to aim it in this direction just a little bit more. And I'm going to do the same with that one over there. There is a beautiful bicycle over here. We're going to take the bike because it's a great prop. I want to take the bike and move it into the front of the pizzaria. So I need to make about three or four changes. It takes me a couple of minutes.
This is completely normal when you get to this part of the process, because you get the basic pieces in place, the strobes in place, the lens, the shutter speed, the f-stop, and then inevitably when you look at the LCD on the back of the camera you can see that there is a few details that need some fine-tuning. So right now we're going to fine-tune those details. Okay, come with me. I'll show you what I'm doing.
