The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Roald Dahl's Kiss Kiss, a dark collection of short stories for adults.
What could go wrong when a wife pawns the mink coat that her lover gave her as a parting gift? What happens when a priceless piece of furniture is the subject of a deceitful bargain? Can a wronged woman take revenge on her dead husband? In these dark, disturbing stories Roald Dahl explores the sinister side of human nature: the cunning, sly, selfish part of each of us that leads us into the territory of the unexpected and unsettling. Stylish, macabre and haunting, these tales will leave you with a delicious feeling of unease.
The stories are:
©2012 Roald Dahl; 2013 Penguin Publishers Limited
"funny and surprising"
Easy listening, good language, amusing tales. One of them I had heard before in a different context but who knows who invented the story first.
"Great listen"
Gripped from the first syllable, perfect narration. Can't wait to download the next. Enjoy, but don't listen late at night, you'll never sleep!
"really enjoyed this book"
loved this book as all of his wonderful writing so glad he wrote so many stories to entertain us for many hours.. ive ordered the kids books as well as so much fun , pottering around n listening to them. xx
"pure joy, including the narrators"
I never get tired of Roald Dahl, but the narrators totally made these timeless stories.
"A sting in the Tale"
Eleven beautiful short stories apparently about normal middle class couples and individuals with normal fears and anxieties. As each story progresses the reader becomes aware that something nasty and bizarre even shocking is about to be revealed. All told with economy of words and cool clear English beautifully read by some outstanding actors.
"Not Dahl's best"
A couple of intriguing ideas and plot lines.
fitted out all the obvious endings or ones that rattled on a bit to long.
Very mediocre

Disappointed with HAL.... TNCruiser2011
My biggest issue with the cabin was that there were no instructions on how to operate the shower. The configuration was not standard American (hot on left/cold on right) and we never did figure out how to not freeze or scald ourselves. The left knob seemed to control water flow and the right knob seemed to control hot water but I never got consistent results when I turned it. We had the beds configured to a queen size and they didn't put anything between the two to bridge the gap, therefore one of us was always stuck in the crack. They were the most comfortable beds either - not enough padding.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Veterans Administration was kind and compassionate enough to send me survival money until I received my social security disability payments. I received approximately $1100 dollars a month. I reported immediately to the Veterans Adminisration upon receiving my disability payments. I received a report from the VA asking for the return of about $5,900 dollars. I did'nt complain. I am a veteran with four years active duty in the Air Force during Vietnam. I also served 11 years in the United States Army reserves. The government has taken approximately $200 dollars from my account to satisfy this debt. I would be dead without that money. Now this company has written me asking for another $5900 in repayment, threatening to deduct another $200 or so from my already reduced income. Who are these people. They are not the Veterans administration, I can tell by the lack of blood in their systems,, The investigation process they use must be a dart board. How they got my name and the amount I agreed to pay is probably a matter of public record. I believe this company is trying to to intimidate me and this causes fear amonge all that love me. They know how close to the edge I live.
Please help me. Are they a government organization? Can they deduct another $200 from my social security disability checks. Why must I live in fear and sickness, one is enough. I am not afraid to die, I know that's coming. But I am afraid to drain those that love me to the point where it would break their heart to say they couldnt help me. You are my last hope. I know America is hurting, but I never refused its call before. Now I am calling back. Please help me. I have a letter from the VA saying I only owe $1700 left on the original money. Now again?
I was given a telephone number of 1-888-310-2006. An account number of 90206663081. Their fax number is 1-925-960-2397. I make less than $1200 dollars a month. This deduction would put me below subsistance level. Some gave all, how much do I have to give. Daniel Frankiln

I have a soft modded XBox with EvoX on it and I'm pretty sure I know how to back up a game with it and transfer it to my PC and all that. But, I was wondering if there is any way to play that game straight from the XBox hard drive? Or do I have to burn the files to a DVD in order to play it. Because I don't have a DVD burner so it would be nice if I didn't have to use one.
Thanks for the help.

If you have stock HDD, might fit one or two crappy games with Dvd2Xbox (usual Places).
Posted 29 September 2005 - 03:31 AM
Apps like DVD2Xbox will rip a game to the hd allowing you to play it from there. If you have a stock HD your space for games is VERY limited. I cant promise every game will fit. Some will though. (Meaning certain games ONE at a time)

Hello, I am looking for a vbac friendly physician in the Milwaukee/Waukesha/Menomonee Falls area. I've heard good things about Dr. Sheldon Wasserman and Dr Claudia Koch, however we are looking for someone not affiliated with Columbia St Marys. We had a horrible experience there and would like to avoid going back. Of course, we may not have a choice :( We are also looking into midwifes, but I'd like to keep my options open. Would appreciate any feedback !
VBAC Doctor in Milwaukee Area?

Married to my best friend

I'm looking for a supportive VBA2C in Wisconsin. Right now in the Sheboygan/Manitowoc area but willing to travel to Green Bay/Milwaukee if need be. Can anyone recommend any doctors or hospitals that won't make me schedule a c-section at 39 weeks?

Course content
What will you study?
Here is an overview of current modules available on this course. Regular updates may mean that exact module titles may differ. Visit our Academic Quality Unit pages for full programme specifications for each course.
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Teaching and Assessment
How will you be taught?
You will learn how to:
- Investigate critically and analyse theoretical and conceptual issues central to English language studies.
- Synthesis and evaluate material.
- Develop skills of analysis.
- Prepare yourself for the workplace through CV building, career mapping and group activities that develop productive working relationships.
- Hone your specialist skills.
Assessment Strategy
The English Language course offers a range of assessment experiences, enabling students to develop and demonstrate a wide variety of skills. There are different assessment tasks, including essays, the analysis of written and spoken language, individual or group oral presentations, the production of various types of writing, and research projects.
Assessments are carefully devised to provide students with the opportunity to practise and improve skills as these develop, with shorter and more guided assessment in year 1 moving to longer, increasingly independent work in year 3. There are formative and summative assessments for each module.
Teaching approach
- Lectures; seminars; demonstrations; tutorials; group and individual project work; supervised independent learning; open and resource-based learning; e-learning; work placements.
- Teaching involves large and small group sessions, the latter especially in relation to research activities.
- A mix of tutor- and student-led and independent learning.
- Learning opportunities enable active assimilation, application, questioning, debate and critical reflection.
- Guest speakers and visits form part of the learning process.

Forecast are used to prevent planning of any new demands coming. But, is it meaningful to use forecast with reorder point items? I would say no, just what I think. I am saying this because the reorder point is calculated from the safety stock + average demand during lead time. Thus, the reorder point level intrinsctly have a forecast on what would be the demand (the average). Thus, it is not meaningful to include forecast when reorder point is used
I think it is possible, if release at least we have:
– we need in any cases safety stock, but without average demand..
– "weighting coefficients" for several periods.. (instead of "average demand")
P.S. With some correct we have possibility to have it in NAV..
What I tried to cover here is from a pure reorder policy concept. If this is the case, I would still say you should not use forecast since reorder concept (not NAV concept but a planning concept) has to be always linked to average demand. Safety stock as well since it is calculated through a standard formula based on the uncertainty of meeting the demand (confidence).
So, if this is about a customization, I am fine. But, then I would say we should be cautious when talking about reorder item since this won't be the case anymore. As I believe, you are trying to achieve a Fixed Reorder Period policy, correct? Here, we would like to reorder in given periods while Fixed reorder quantity is based on stock level which need to be consistent with demand profile.

AbstractTo date, curative resection is the only chance for cure for patients suffering from pancreatic ductal adenoacarcinoma (PDAC). Despite low reported rates of microscopic tumor infiltration (R1) in most studies, tumor recurrence is a common finding in patients with PDAC and contributes to extremely low long-term survival rates. Lack of international definition of resection margins and of standardized protocols for pathological examination lead to high variation in reported R1 rates. Here we review recent studies supporting the hypothesis that R1 rates are highly underestimated in certain studies and that a microscopic tumor clearance of at least 1 mm is required to confirm radicality and to serve as a reliable prognostic and predictive factor.

Definition of microprobe in English:
An instrument in which a beam of electrons or other radiation is focused onto a minute area of a sample and the resulting secondary radiation (usually X-ray fluorescence) is analyzed to yield chemical information.
Example sentences
- Until recently, ion microprobes could only analyze dozens of such sub-grains at one time and so were able to deduce only the average properties of a sample.
- In view of these complexities, further U-Pb geochronology was carried out using the ion microprobe.
- Pressure in the xylem elements, monitored with a pressure microprobe, changed from the initial pressure at the time of pressure step to the new steady pressure after some time.

They never called me back, I had go and inquire to finally set up an appointment. I received 3 training sections for about 20 minutes each ONLY. They promised a meal plan, 1 hour training section, measurements, a workout routine for the remaining of the days that I will go to the gym. I never received any of that. After the 3rd training section I told them that I wanted to cancel and that there wasn't any problem.
I didn't received the serviced that I was promised. They kept charging my credit and I had to put a stop on it. I receive a letter every week from them charging me for the whole year more than $1700. I keep telling them the situation, but their customer representatives are very rude, unwilling to solve the situation. They don't want to hear your side of the story/situation and just want you to pay and keep telling you that they will report the balance to all the credit bureau.
I paid for the service that I received and I wasn't happy with the service and just wanted to cancel. Please do not signed up with this company. They are worst ever!!!!!

On Saturday, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville will host its annual Calls for Kids Telecast. The telecast is special to me, not only because I serve as the board president for Nashville's Ronald McDonald House, but because my relationship with Ronald McDonald House Charities started on Valentine's Day 24 years ago.
In 1989, my 3-year-old daughter, Rebecca, came home from day care with odd-shaped bruises. Naturally, her mother and I took her to the doctor. After running tests, the doctor informed us that Becca had acute myelogenous leukemia, a rare cancer typically found in adults.
Her first three rounds of chemotherapy treatments at Louisville Children's Hospital in our hometown were sadly ineffective. We decided to take her to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for further treatment. It was far from home, and we needed a place to stay during our time there, so we moved into the Cincinnati Ronald McDonald House and ended up being there five months. Her mother was with our daughter when she was in the hospital, and I came up on weekends from Louisville.
Being able to stay at the site allowed us to focus solely on our daughter's treatment. The staff was extremely supportive, and the families in the house were very empathetic. People would come and go, but everyone had concern for what the other people were going through. They were all families experiencing a traumatic event and trying to cope the best way they could.
Thankfully, my daughter's last round of chemotherapy was effective, but she then needed four rounds of radiation to kill her bone marrow. On April 13, 1990, Becca received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from her brother, Daniel, who was 7 years old at the time. It meant my son was in the hospital as well; he was across the hall from his sister, but our family was together. During our time at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, 36 children were awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Only my daughter and two little boys survived long enough to be discharged from the hospital. My daughter is the lone survivor of the group that was awaiting treatment.
Despite the stressful times when she was in the hospital, we always tried to inject humor into our lives. That's what got us through. I am proud to share that Becca is now cancer-free, and a teacher in St. Louis. I am very grateful to Ronald McDonald House Charities for giving my family a refuge during my daughter's treatments. I am truly appreciative for all the help we received.
When I moved to Nashville in 2008, I started volunteering at the Nashville Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House is in constant need of people who will help and care for families living through crises, of supplies to provide to the families and of donations to fund the costs of running the house. I had an opportunity to give back to the organization that was there for my family.
You can help families like mine by tuning in to the Calls for Kids Telecast on Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. on WKRN-News 2 and donating money for the nonprofit that is so close to my heart. Our goal is to raise $110,000.
Tim Ryan is Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville's board president and is chief financial officer for Quorum Health Resources in Brentwood.

A Room with a View
by E.M. Forster
A Room with a View Women and Femininity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
All his life he had loved to study maiden ladies; they were his specialty, and his profession had provided him with ample opportunities for the work. Girls like Lucy were charming to look at, but Mr. Beebe was, from rather profound reasons, somewhat chilly in his attitude towards the other sex, and preferred to be interested rather than enthralled (3.8).
First of all, the phrase "maiden ladies" is so fantastic. Secondly, to digress very briefly, so is Mr. Beebe. There's something quite intriguing in this quote – could it be that the "profound reasons" he has for his coldness to women are motivated potential (but certainly unmentioned!) homosexuality? It's unsurprising to find this kind of knowing innuendo in Forster's texts, many of which deal at least tangentially with male homosexuality. Anyway, Mr. Beebe's "interest" allows him to look objectively at women and their internal lives, rather than being "enthralled" by their physical charms.
Quote #2
Conversation was tedious; she wanted something big, and she believed that it would have come to her on the wind-swept platform of an electric tram. This she might not attempt. It was unladylike. Why? Why were most big things unladylike? Charlotte had once explained to her why. It was not that ladies were inferior to men; it was that they were different. Their mission was to inspire others to achievement rather than to achieve themselves. Indirectly, by means of tact and a spotless name, a lady could accomplish much. But if she rushed into the fray herself she would be first censured, then despised, and finally ignored. Poems had been written to illustrate this point (4.2).
Do the words "separate but equal" ring a bell? Sure, they usually are associated with racial injustice, but they fit just as well in this discussion of what makes women different from men from Charlotte's hidebound perspective. Lucy's childlike question, "Why were most big things unladylike?" demonstrates that she doesn't exactly understand the dynamics of the social rules she adheres do… does anyone?
Quote #3
There is much that is immortal in this medieval lady. The dragons have gone, and so have the knights, but still she lingers in our midst. She reigned in many an early Victorian castle, and was Queen of much early Victorian song […] But alas! the creature grows degenerate. In her heart also there are springing up strange desires. She too is enamoured of heavy winds, and vast panoramas, and green expanses of the sea. She has marked the kingdom of this world, how full it is of wealth, and beauty, and war […] Before the show breaks up she would like to drop the august title of the Eternal Woman, and go there as her transitory self (4.3).
The medieval lady described here is exactly what we're afraid Lucy will become: a distant, discontented, and overly idealized conventional woman. The "early Victorian" reference indicates that in Forster's post-Victorian (otherwise known as Edwardian) age, this type of womanhood is losing its relevance, as the "medieval lady" becomes less and less happy with her lot in life.

Supply and Demand, Not Streaming, Hurts Musicians?
In an already controversial article, it is posited that the inability for many quality musicians to make a living in the arts is due to a supply / demand mismatch rather than digitization, streaming, or piracy. While I cannot say I endorse everything this guy is saying, from the stack of releases sitting next to me on my desk, I think he is on to something.
Record companies complain the Internet will destroy music. Musicians complain that they can't make a living any more. The unsympathetic public, feeling the squeeze themselves, tell them to get a proper job. The problem isn't piracy — it's competition.
One thought on "Supply and Demand, Not Streaming, Hurts Musicians?"
Great little article. Although not narrowly directed at the free jazz scene, it most certainly applies to that scene. I've often wondered how many of those musicians are able to make a living; the economics don't make sense. It must be that they have lawyer wives or investment broker husbands to pay the bills and support the lifestyle. One thing that the article did not directly mention but has puzzled/annoyed me are musicians who like to "document" every wheeze, grunt, bang, or blink of their musical odyssey. Used to be that a musician might put out 2 studio albums in a year and be considered prolific. Now, with the ease of digitization, there seems an unending stream of fresh releases of CDs (an anomaly in itself). Who is buying? And can they be buying in such amounts as provide an adequate income? Perhaps like the Missouri River, their support is an inch deep and a mile wide.

A LORRY overturned on the A361 at Shipton-under-Wychwood, spilling what was reported to be 10 tonnes of milk on the road.
The driver, a man in his 30s, was taken by ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, with non life-threatening injuries.
The Cotteswold Dairy Ltd tanker overturned at about 4.30am and the road was closed until 10.30am because of concerns that it may have leaked fuel on to the road.
Carole Aldons, of Church Street, off the A361, said: "I'm glad it was nothing more serious."

At that time, I stated explicitly that I wanted the plan for his phone to include only call and text capabilities and to exclude web access. I was told web access would not be included and that I could add it to the plan at any time for something like $10 per month.
Imagine my surprise when, the following month, I received a Verizon bill for $408. When I visited the Verizon store to investigate the matter, I was told my son's phone had incurred $175 in web browsing charges. I explained that, when I purchased the phone, never would I have leftr the store without having been fully assured that my son's plan included calling and texting only.
Call me naive, if you want, but I had absolutely no idea and never was told that, even if I did not include the web access fee in the plan, web browsing would still be available at a premium price.
And at the time of purchase, not once was I informated that, if I truly wanted web access not to be available, I needed to request to have it blocked.
Whether or not Verizon's error was intentional, it cost my family dearly. After explaining this experience to store personnel in detail and having to spend my entire lunch hour in the store while they reviewed the issue and tried to figure out how to handle it, the best they could come up with was an offer of a 30% discount on our next bill, implying they believed I was 70% at fault for not having known at the time of purchase that web access would not be blocked unless I specifically requested it to be.
Unless Verizon removes the web charges my son's phone incurred before I was fully informed of what I was required to do to ensure web access truly was not available, I will send a copy of this report to the Better Business Bureau, the Michigan Attorney General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission. I also will publish this story everywhere on the internet that I can.

no more iplex!
Hey terry, you're just going to need to retire this angie pseudonym once and for all. No one bought it. I dare you to bring it out again.
Even the horse doc knows this...thanks rehd, who is now recommending a buy on INSM.
Quote from rehd concerning the case of Angie Cacchillo:
1. signed and informed consent paper to enroll in the 6 month long Phase IIb MMD trial of 2007-2009. This study was coordinated by Dr. Richard Moxley of Rochester U based upon a DM1 mutation diagnosis.
2. Informed consent delineates a precise dose, duration and parameters for treatment. Mrs. Cacchillo went through that term of treatment and improved according to the primary endpoint (walking further and of longer duration). Unfortunately most of the other patients in the trial did not improve according to that primary endpoint.
3. If most patients that enrolled had improved I am sure that INSM would have applied and been granted an "extension" of the Phase IIb trial to be part of a longer than 6 month Phase III clinical trial. If you notice on ClinicalTrialsDOTgov, there is an extension protocol for the CF/Pa patients that complete 6 rounds of treatment with Arikace. But this protocol is not currently activated and thus constitutes a "signal" as to the future of Arikace in being used for longer term for CF therapy. Many are all awating that protocol being activated because it will be a sign that the primary and secondary endpoints of Arikace have (probably) been met.
4. The contents and boundaries of an informed consent statement are internationally agreed upon and can be found on any website you wish (FDA, EMEA and even WHO). Mrs. C's lawsuit was dismissed originally because a clinical trial approved by the FDA (i.e., the MMD trial) cannot be altered from the parameters originally agreed upon with the FDA. It cannot automatically be transformed into and EAP, compassionate treatment protocol for ALS because one patient got more benefit from treatment than another.
Sorry for Mrs. C, but the protocol was specific and she signed. That included being part of discontinuing the protocol if most of the patients did not benefit and the protocol ends because of that outcome. People have to remember that 10% of the patients treated with Laetrile had their tumors shrink. 90% had no benefit.
This will not be a factor in INSM's near future. But it still should have been a more focused study on Duchenne's or adult hypotonia without neurodegeneration. Then Mrs. C would still be on treatment.

After 34 years, Carnival (NYSE: CCL ) CEO Micky Arison is stepping down as CEO of the world's largest cruise-ship operator.
Carnival's new CEO is Arnold Donald. He's a longtime board member, so he naturally knows the company and its present challenges well. He lives in St. Louis, ironically enough, far removed from the coastal ports that Carnival relies on for most of its sailings.
This may be a peculiar time to step down. Carnival has had its shares of mishaps at sea since early last year, but the cruise line was starting to sail past floating blunders. Even the maligned Carnival Triumph resumed sailing earlier this months after months of repairs and updates.
So is this really the right time for Carnival to be letting someone else steer the ship?
Arison's Miami Heat won another NBA title a week earlier, so at least he's going out a winner on one front.
Briefly in the news
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
- Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC ) posted strong quarterly results this week. Sales rose a hearty 38%, and earnings soared even higher. That's not a surprise. Firearms are in hot demand as consumers fear that ownership restrictions will be tightened.
- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) can't catch a break. Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Ittai Kidron became the latest to get cold feet, lowering his price target from $480 to $460 and reducing his iPhone 5 shipment projections for the current quarter.
- Apple wasn't the only former tech darling to get talked down this week. Maxim Group's Echo He lowered his price target on Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ) to $75. The concern here is that margins will continue to come under pressure as competition intensifies.

Can dubai's debt be eating away its successes?
Debt-laden government related enterprises (GREs) in Dubai can affect business confidence in the region, according to Michael Belindo, vice president of World Confederation of Business (World COB).
"It (debt) will not restrain business in the region as debts are a part of a business, but it will definitely affect the confidence of the firms," said Belindo.
In a recent report, the International Monetary Fund estimated that Dubai's total debt stands at $142 billion, or around 102 per cent of its GDP, with $35 billion of that amount in government and government-guaranteed debt.
But despite Dubai's debt burden, Belindo said that the emirate and other local markets are unique due to the high level of growth seen in the region.
"Most markets in the Gulf coast are bringing more international opportunities for the rest of the world," he said.
"But the UAE and Dubai have a high level of diversity in their marketplace as compared to the rest of the Gulf markets."
A Department of Economic Development (DED) business confidence survey, conducted earlier this year, found that 83 per cent of businesses in Dubai expect an increase or no change in sales volumes in the third quarter of 2013.
Meanwhile another quarterly survey by Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry found that 48 per cent of business leaders expected economic conditions to improve in the upcoming quarter. The optimism among business leaders was attributed to increased employment and improved access to credit and financing facilities.
Belindo added that the country's tax-free policies are definitely an economic advantage for businesses looking to set up in the UAE.
He said that World COB, an international organisation that facilitates the growth of businesses around the world by providing them training in various facets, has also seen a rise in membership from the Middle East.
"We started four years ago with 100 members in the region but now we have expanded to 100 more," said Belindo.
"The challenges that businesses face have already been encountered by the region in last four years. The near future will be filled with opportunities."

How do you make money in a market crash? One way is to buy into good dividend stocks. But, do you buy a stock for dividend gain at any price? or is there a specific price to buy them? If you are holding on to a stock for dividend gain, do you know when is the time to sell it? How do you construct a portfolio of dividend stocks to create multiple source of income? Find out the answers for these questions and more in this latest book on investment. Don't rely solely on capital gains when investing in stocks. This puts you at the mercy of the irrationality of the stock market and increases your investment risk. This book teaches you how to select stocks that give you steady but growing dividend income.

Are all dividend stocks the same? Is dividend yield the sole criterion for picking dividend stocks? What is an attractive price to buy a stock for dividend income? When should I sell my dividend stocks? In addition to answering the above questions, this book helps you to: Evaluate and pick the right dividend stocks based on two major concepts of Dividend Safety and Capital Preservation Assess the safety and sustainability of dividend payouts for dividend stocks Calculate the reference stock prices for buying and selling of dividend stocks using the Perpetuity Dividend Discount Model and other valuation methods Build, maintain and monitor a portfolio of dividend stocks to generate a steady flow of income

I'll admit that I'm relatively new to my DSLR, but I'm not knew to camera concepts so it's coming pretty quickly to me. For a long time I've been in awe of certain types of pictures, the ones that have such vivid and 3-dimensional lighting, and only today realized that type of photography has a name: HDR (High Dynamic Range). Google "HDR photography" for images if you're not sure what it is.After spending most of the morning reading up on it I'm itching to get off work and try my hand at some local areas I think would make awesome shots, but was wondering about it with my D3000. HDR requires you to take several pictures with varying degrees of light exposure, and some cameras have an AEB (auto exposure bracketing) setting that will automatically set the exposure settings to increase or decrease incrementally. Does the D3000 have this option or would I need to do everything manually?

Hi Sarah, I don't have a D3000 but found in the manual that the D3000 does not have a bracketing feature. You can use one of the other modes to determine the initial middle settings then switch to manual and vary the shutter speed for the under and over images. You have an auto ISO feature available which I would recommend but it should also be turned off when bracketing. A remote shutter release is a good thing to use.

Looks like manual it is!I'm looking into a remote for just such an instance, as waiting for my timer gets annoying. Do the remotes do more than just release the shutter?
#4. "RE: D3000 and HDR Photography" | In response to Reply # 3
Hi Sarah, First, I forgot. Welcome to Nikonians!! The ML-3L that Marty mentioned appears to be the only one supported on your D3000. It is a infrared remote (line-of-sight) that can release the shutter immediately or with a 2 second delay release. Some of the other remote releases Nikon offers can do additional things, but are not supported by the D3000. One allows you to lock the shutter open (like bulb mode without holding the button) for longer exposures. Another is an intervalometer which means you can program it to do several snaps after a specified delay between. Nikonusa.com is a great place to find out what is available for each camera AND what accessories are supported by what camera. It can be quite confusing picking the right accessory with all of the different choices. And.....you are a Nikonian, just ask .

For a couple days this week I seriously considered going back to the store and swapping my 3000 for a 5000, as it's only a couple hundred more and seems to have more product support (or sounds like it from what I've read online, I've actually not researched it yet). I'll head over to the Nikon site and check around. Hopefully they'll get some remotes and other accessories for these intro DSLRs soon.

Without any thing, one might from the rear of the camera carefully hold the ML-L3 above the camera and behind the lens and possibly have the sensor detect the IR beam. The D70 has an angled sensor but the D3000/5000 does not.It is possible to 'reflect' the ML-L3 IR beam to the camera's IR port by using a 3x5 card, business card, or bicycle review mirror attached to the camera, so one could stand behind the camera and reflect the IR beam to the sensor. A more expensive solution is to use a fiber optic cable to 'bend' the IR signal.Be sure to cover the viewfinder with the DK-5 or a thick piece light blocking cloth.

What is the reasoning behind using the DK-5? I saw what it looks like, but not sure what purpose it serves.

The exposure sensors are located in the reflex housing so any light entering through the lens or through the eye piece will affect the exposure measurement.From page 55 of the D-3000 manual:"Cover the ViewfinderAfter framing the photograph, remove the DK-20 rubber eyecup (q) and insert the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap as shown (w). This prevents light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure. Hold the camera firmly when removing the rubber eyecup."
#13. "RE: D3000 and HDR Photography" | In response to Reply # 12
so in a nutshell, my evening shots and even my daytime shots will turn out better? Only bad thing is I change my eyecup for one of the Hoodman 22S eyecups. They are a little tougher to change out, but good to know about covering it up. Thanks for the help
#10. "RE: D3000 and HDR Photography" | In response to Reply # 4
I have a Promaster remote I use with my D3000 and have had good luck using it. It only has the one button for the shutter, so you are limited to a point. As far as manually opening and closing the shutter, this can be done. Just set your dial to "M" (manual) and take your shutter speed all the way as slow as possible. When you get it cranked all the way down, it will indicate "Bulb" if IR isn't turned on or "TIME" if you have the IR turned on. To make it easier to use my remote I assigned my Fn button to help. Just go into the Menu and under the SETUP MENU you find a tab for BUTTONS. Go in there and change the Fn button to "Release Mode". All I have to do now to change my release mode is hold the Fn button on the side by the lens and scroll the Command Dial. Nice and easy!

Hi Sarah,When bracketing for an HDR image using a tripod would be a very good idea along with the remote release ML-3L that Fred is refering to.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
#5. "RE: D3000 and HDR Photography" | In response to Reply # 2
I'm definitely intent on getting a tripod before I start anything like this. Friends and family keep telling me they have one I can use/borrow/have but they're either a long distance away or can't find it (or can't be bothered to look). I'll just have to wait a little while, but that might be good anyway just to learn more about the camera.

Something else you can try for the 'pseudo-HDR' look, which I have been using since I got my D3000 at Christmas, is to set for multiple burst (continuous).Then, in CS3/4/whatever, I play with each of the images (contrast, shadow, highlight, tone, etc) until each one covers the total range from under to over-exposed. 5-11 images ususally does it for me.Lastly you can use the Create HDR action on your batch. A little labor-intensive (about 10 minutes), but the results are well-worth it to me....This is imprecise, but until you get the hang of under/over exposing using Manual, it is also less frustrating.Brian SchlettyWorld Traveler

Wayne County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 6-foot-5, 270-pound rapist and attempted murderer in the same hospital where he escaped from custody 30 hours earlier.
The sheriff's department says 45-year-old Willie Wright was at Harper Hospital for treatment Tuesday when he broke free of deputies guarding him despite their use of pepper spray.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Paula Bridges says a hospital staffer spotted Wright on Wednesday and stalled him until guards and deputies could capture him.
Bridges says the arrest went without incident.
Wright is awaiting sentencing for kidnapping and raping his ex-girlfriend, then shooting her in the head as she tried to flee.
