The Razor's ed ge has everything for virtually every type of film fan. Fundamentally it's all good cinematurgy. It's a moving picture that moves.
The romance is more than slightly on the sizzling side. Tyrone Power, as the flyer who can't find himself, is always seeking goodness and spurns the easy life offered him by the more than casually appealing Gene Tierney. It reaches a climax after they play the Paris nitery belt from Montmartre to Montparnasse, and when back in Chicago she loses sight of him and marries John Payne there is the unashamed confession of a lasting love which Power spurns.
For all its pseudo-ritualistic aura the film is fundamentally a solid love story. Tierney is the almost irresistibly appealing femme and completely depicts all the beauty and charm endowed her by Maugham's characterization. Anne Baxter walks off with perhaps the film's personal bit as the dipso, rivaled only by Clifton Webb's effete characterization as the dilettante rich uncle.
Herbert Marshall introduces a new cinematic technique – as it was in the original novel – of playing the author W. Somerset Maugham who thus integrates himself into the story by name identity instead of the conventional first-person (but invariably fictitiously identified) characterization.

A very nice moulded Wanli period (A.D.1573-1619) blue and white kraak porcelain dish. It stands on a very short footrim with a recess base and then everted upward into a U-shaped moulded dish. In the centre of the dish, it depicts a pair of deer under a tree with flowering foilage and rocks. On the cavetto, it is painted with a two tiered brush stroke. Such almost identical dish is illustrated in Maura Rinaldi, Kraak Porcelain, London, 1989.
Only a tiny flea rim glaze fritting as shown in photo no. 4 and a manufacturing fault shown in photo no. 5. Otherwise no restoration, repair, chip or hairline. There are minor abrasion, minute pin holes and sand grits to the base of the footrim and face of one of the deer to the right as shown in the photos. Considered as extremely fine condition for a 17th century plate.

Masters Thesis Defense By Brian Collins
Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 4pm
Language & Communication Bldg (LNCO)
The Department of Linguistics presents a Masters Thesis Defense By Brian Collins The Roles of –ywać in the Polish Aspectual System ABSTRACT The suffix –ywać has been described as imperfective (Młynarczyk (2004), Labenz (2004) Bogdan & Sullivan (2009)), iterative (Młynarczyk, 2004), and habitual (Comrie, 1976). The crux of the issue, as we can see in (1), is that the interpretation of the suffix changes depending on either the aspectual value of the verb from one point of view, or whether the verb has a perfectivizing verbal modifier from another point of view. There are two paradigms in (1): 1) the –ywać suffix attaches to a perfective verb (or verb with a verbal modifier (VM)); in this instance the verb bears an imperfective meaning, and 2) where the suffix attaches to a verb that is unmarked and is not perfective; in this instance the verb does not have an imperfective meaning. This thesis uses aspectual diagnostics from Smith (1991) and Bybee et al., (1994) to examine the function of –ywać in both paradigms, as well as claims about the perfectivizing VMs that attach to the verbs with the suffix. Crosslinguistic parallels from Johns (2006) are also examined with respect to the Polish data. Example: (1) a. czytać 'read (impf)' b. prze-czytać 'read (perf)' c. prze-czyt-ywać 'read ahead (impf)' d. czyt-ywać 'read from time to time (read (habitual?))'

Engineering Eden: The True Story of a Violent Death, a Trial, and the Fight over Controlling Nature
Wednesday, September 28, 2016, 12:15 - 1:15pm
College of Law - S. J. Quinney (LAW)
In the summer of 1972, a young man named Harry Walker left his home on an Alabama farm to find himself in the wide-open spaces of America. Nineteen days later he was killed by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. This is where Jordan Fisher Smith, author of the widely acclaimed book Nature Noir and narrator of the Oscar-shortlisted documentary Under Our Skin, begins ENGINEERING EDEN: The True Story of a Violent Death, a Trial, and the Fight over Controlling Nature. In the vein of Into the Wild, The Golden Spruce, and The Perfect Storm, Jordan Fisher Smith's ENGINEERING EDEN proceeds into a one-of-a-kind exploration of character, biography, and environmental conservation history. Beginning in a federal courtroom where some of the greatest wildlife biologists of the twentieth century testified in a lawsuit filed by Harry Walker's parents after his death, Smith traces Walker's fated path to his fatal encounter with the bear and a long scientific controversy over how to restore and maintain patches of wilderness amid growing numbers of people. Maneuvered into suing by an ally of bear biologist brothers John and Frank Craighead, who were at odds with the government over conservation of the grizzlies, the Walkers charged that a plan to restore Yellowstone's ecology after a long history of mismanagement proved fatal both for the bears and their son. But at a deeper level the case was a referendum on how much human beings ought to try to engineer nature. America's most famous national parks were created before the scientific advances it would take to care for them. By 1972, when Yellowstone turned one hundred years old, biologists were involved in a rancorous dispute over what exactly we were trying to save in these wild places and how to go about doing it. Some, like Walker trial witness A. Starker Leopold, son of legendary conservationist Aldo Leopold and the architect of the national parks' nature policy, believed that human manipulation was essential to preserve threatened ecosystems. Others, like Yellowstone chief scientist Glen Cole and celebrated wildlife biologist Adolph Murie, argued that the most essential characteristic of wilderness was that it was the one place in which we can leave nature alone to work out its own destiny. The moral of Smith's story is that nature will not be saved wholly by engineering or by leaving it alone; a balance must be struck. But his account of the fatal complexity of tinkering with a single national park will caution readers to weigh carefully recent claims by advocates of total human dominion over nature, "geoengineering," genetically engineered creatures, custom-built ecosystems, and "gardening" of the entire earth.

"I am trying very hard to forget how it happened, but I am failing. I can't just forget it; it's like it's just about to happen again, like it's just happening. I remember every detail." A 15 year old girl in Zambia who was raped by her teacher expresses her emotions.
Every year, between 500 million and 1.5 billion children experience some sort of violence, often within school. This week Plan launches a global report on the scale of violence against girls around the world on International Women's Day on Friday 8th March.
Tanya Barron, Chief Executive of Plan UK says, "Our international report shows that sexual violence in particular disproportionately affects girls around the globe – especially in and around school. This kind of abuse has a profound effect on children's education – as well as their physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing."
'A girl's right to learn without fear: Working to end gender-based violence at school', part of Plan's Because I am a Girl campaign, exposes that worldwide an estimated 150 million girls and 73 million boys have experienced sexual violence.
Plan UK is calling on the UK Government to champion global action on ending gender-based violence in and around schools.We are recommending that the UK's Department for International Development replicate successful projects and invests in research to increase the impact of their work.The official launch of the report is taking place at Hornsey School for Girls in London, on 8th March and will be attended by International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone. Plan will also be showcasing a new teaching pack on violence against girls in and around school.
Plan's Because I am a Girl campaign aims to support four million girls to stay in education and fulfil their potential. By joining the Plan you can help girls transform their lives and the world around them. Sign our petition.
For more information see the Executive Summary or the full report.

The final results of the referendum in Crimea are in: More than 96 percent of residents voted Sunday to leave Ukraine and join Russia.
The vote comes as Russia continued to take control of more Ukrainian territory.
With the Crimean Peninsula now under their full control, Russian forces backed by multiple helicopter gunships captured another Ukrainian town this weekend that holds a natural gas facility.
"They say they are protecting us from terrorist acts, but they don't explain which terrorist acts exactly," one Ukrainian woman said.
Russia has deployed 60,000 troops along Ukraine's border as the government in Kiev worries about a full-scale invasion.
"We are deeply concerned about reports of Russian military units moving closer and in a more tactical way around eastern Ukraine," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said.
Pro-Russian separatists said Crimea is just the beginning in their quest to create a Greater Russia.
Hours after residents voted to overwhelmingly break away from Ukraine and join Russia, Crimea's deputy prime minister said he'll give Russian troops safe passage to the eastern part of the country where he predicts Russia will go next.
To understand the political crisis in the Crimean, you have to look at the make up of this part of southern Ukraine. The majority of the people who live on the peninsula identify themselves as ethnic Russian.
"We came back home to mother Russia. We came back home, Russia is our home," Sevastopol resident Nikolay Drozdenko told CBN News.
While the majority of ethnic Russians voted for secession, ethnic Ukrainians and Muslim Tatars boycotted the vote.
The West, including the United States, dismissed the poll as a "sham" and promised more sanctions against Russia.
On Monday morning, Russian flags flew on every corner of the Crimean capital as the parliament declared the region an independent state. Russia is expected to formally announce annexation later this week.

Mike Bleech: How does Great Lakes fishing stack up?
Great Lakes anglers amount to just 1.7 million out of the 27.5 million freshwater anglers. However, that 6 percent of freshwater anglers includes us, making it very important.
The 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation is conducted every five years on behalf of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies by the Census Bureau and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In this survey, anglers are broken down into three groups: saltwater, freshwater other than Great Lakes, and Great Lakes. Included in the Great Lakes for purposes of the survey are tributaries, connecting rivers, and the St. Lawrence River south of the bridge at Cornwall.
The Great Lakes attracted 1,665,000 anglers in 2011, according to the survey.
Lake Erie is the most popular of the Great Lakes among anglers. It attracts 38 percent of all Great Lakes anglers, totaling 665,000 anglers.
Lake Michigan was second with 25 percent of all Great Lakes anglers, with Lake Huron third with 16 percent. Next, with 10 percent of Great Lakes anglers were the tributaries. Lake Superior and Lake Ontario both supported 9 percent of all Great Lakes anglers, with Lake Ontario the least of the Great Lakes with 143,000 anglers.
Great Lakes fishing expenditures amounted to $1.7 billion, which is 7 percent of all freshwater fishing expenditures. It should be no surprise that Great Lakes anglers spend more money to fish than other freshwater anglers, an average $655 each in 2011, compared to $494 each for other freshwater anglers. Daily spending was $55 per Great Lakes angler and $30 for other freshwater anglers.
A figure probably related to the relative amount of effort required to get offshore is the number of days anglers fished. On average, freshwater anglers other than Great Lakes fished 16 days on average, while Great Lakes anglers fished just 12 days.
Trip expenses are a matter that causes bewilderment. Great Lakes anglers and other freshwater anglers spent similar percentages of total expenses that are trip-related. This makes it seem that Great Lakes anglers like to fish close to home, and why not?
Black bass, largemouth and smallmouth, get more attention than any other fish from other freshwater anglers. Great Lakes anglers rate walleye/sauger top priority. Black bass rated second on the Great Lakes.
The popularity list for the Great Lakes, based on the number of anglers who target the species, puts perch third, salmon fourth and the combination of pike, muskellunge, pickerel and muskie hybrids fifth, followed by lake trout at sixth most popular.

2. I want to see Russell Westbrook's FIBA defense in the NBA
If you haven't been watching the World Championships or the exhibitions that led up to it, you've really missed out on seeing one of the most crystal clear displays of what Sam Presti was thinking when he drafted Russell Westbrook to be a defensive stopper out on the perimeter for this franchise.
Westbrook has been everywhere defensively on the perimeter and even down on the blocks when he's seen the opportunity to double a post player. His hands have been almost relentlessly active, his footwork has steered guards to where he wants them to be and, thanks to FIBA rules, Westbrook has used his sizeable strength advantage to amazing effect, bodying guards to the point that they are entirely redirected anytime they want to drive to the bucket.
This display leads me to one thought over and over again as I watch this unbelievable performance: Why haven't I seen this on the Thunder?
Now I have a lot of ideas about why Westbrook-the-defender in FIBA is vastly superior to Westbrook-the-defender in the NBA, but they all seem to center around the fact that international competition allows contact when you're guarding out on the perimeter (just like you can in college) and to put it kindly, Westbrook is almost always going to be bigger, stronger, quicker and able to impose his will physically on almost any point guard (and even some shooting guards) in international competition.
In short, Westbrook is allowed to use the very utmost of his athletic ability to defend in FIBA, whereas in the NBA he is practically handcuffed regarding his size and strength.
But that excuse means very little to me, to be honest. After two years, Westbrook needs to adapt to this less physical style of play because it's painfully obvious that he has the quickness and position awareness to move his feet and cut offensive players off without using a hand-check or a bullying chest bump.
If these World Championships have taught us anything it is that Sam Presti was absolutely correct in believing that Russell Westbrook can be a hounding, disruptive defensive stopper in the NBA. He has all the tools and desire (which is what defense is 90% about anyway) to be a top-level defender, he just needs to stop leaving those tools in the tool box if it's just because he can't use hand-checks.
That's why the second thing I most want to see happen next season is for the Westbrook that I'm watching on Team USA on defense to make an 82 game appearance on the Thunder. Because if that happens, then a lot of issues about who Thabo has to guard as the defensive stopper on the perimeter, if Thabo is really needed in the starting lineup as badly, etc, etc, will be somewhat resolved organically.
In addition, the Thunder would easily become a Top 5 defensive unit if opposing PG's weren't consistently wreaking havoc on the defensive scheme and the scoreboard like they have done over the last two seasons from time to time (plus Thabo can stop guarding PG's instead of SG's/SF's, which drives me crazy).
But most of all, I wouldn't have to live with the frustration that Westbrook COULD be an amazing defender, as I saw from him at UCLA and now with FIBA, but seemingly just can't put it together in a Thunder uniform.
Because there's nothing more frustrating than knowing something is possible—and yet it never materializes.

UNCCD and GEF Secretariats Discuss GEF-5 Policies and Programmes
January 2010: Luc Gnacadja, Executive Secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), and Monique Barbut, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), co-hosted a staff retreat between their respective Secretariats, on 4 January 2011.
Participants at the event discussed and clarified key aspects of the GEF-5 policies and programmes as they relate to supporting the implementation of the UNCCD by affected country Parties. In her opening statement, Barbut said, "With the instrument now amended by the GEF Assembly to formalize GEF as a financial mechanism, it is time to move our collaboration to a new level in support of all Parties to the UNCCD."
Discussions addressed, inter alia: GEF reforms and the implications for ongoing UNCCD activities; procedures of the System for Transparent Allocation of Resources (STAR), which includes the Land Degradation Focal Area and provides GEF resources to all affected country Parties to invest in combating desertification and deforestation; partnership between the UNCCD Secretariat, the Global Mechanism and the Implementing Agencies of the GEF in support of the implementation of the Convention by Parties; further enhancement of monitoring and reporting by Parties; and options and opportunities for strengthening relations between the GEF and the Convention, as well as the potential for enhancing synergies with the other Rio Conventions and the GEF, with the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) being suggested as a target for showcasing such synergies.
Participants developed a Joint Action Plan, including recommendations for strengthening collaboration between the UNCCD and the GEF Secretariats in order to advance the implementation of the Convention and its 10-year Strategy by Parties. [UNCCD News Report] [GEF summary of the Joint Action Plan]

Nikon Press Release
Zoom in on the action with the L310
Easy-to-use, high-zoom camera for a variety of shooting situations
Sales Start Date: 15th March 2012
London, UK, 1 Feb 2011 – Nikon today announces the COOLPIX L310, a high zoom camera that combines superior image quality with the flexibility of a long zoom, making it ideal for all types of photography. The camera's 14-megapixel sensor and 21x wide-angle optical zoom lens work together to produce stunning results, whether you are shooting stills or HD movies.
"The COOLPIX L310 offers excellent shooting versatility thanks to the wide angle 21x NIKKOR zoom lens" said James Loader, Consumer Product Manager at Nikon UK. "Add to this the simple design and advanced auto technologies, you have a fantastic camera that gets you close to the action with minimum effort."
Creative flexibility
An excellent performer with impressive range, the COOLPIX L310 is an easy to use compact camera that benefits from an impressive 21x optical zoom, high resolution 3 inch LCD and HD (720p) movie recording.
From extraordinary panoramas to close up action, you can capture it all with the powerful NIKKOR 21x optical zoom lens (25-525mm). The L310 offers the exceptional image quality Nikon is known for, maximising the 14 megapixel CCD sensor, high ISO capability (6400) for low light shooting and four anti-blur technologies for super sharp images.
Creative photographers will enjoy the ability to record HD (720p) movies, accessible via the dedicated movie-record button that allows you to switch between shooting stills and images with ease. Optical zoom with autofocus function is available during recording, and photos and movies can be conveniently taken and viewed on the large 7.5 cm (3 inch) high-resolution LCD monitor.

The COOLPIX L310 has been built with convenience and comfort in mind; having a dedicated button for movies and with the auto control function buttons being positioned for easy access.
Novice photographers will benefit from camera's auto controls, including the 17 scene modes which can be selected to fix the settings for popular photographic styles, effects and locations to ensure you capture the best image. For added ease, the Scene Auto Selector mode allows the camera to select the optimum Scene mode for the situation you're shooting in, so all you need to do is point and shoot! Stunning portraits are possible using the Smart portrait system which features Smile Timer, Blink Proof and Red Eye Fix and Skin Softening for flawless subjects every time.
For added convenience the COOLPIX L310 is powered by four AA-size batteries. The COOLPIX L310 is available in black.

A good quality well built camera, my only complaint is that the HD video recording mode picks up thru the internal microphone the (very noisy) sounds of the zoom and apature at work, it makes it unusable for any kind of video work. great still shots though!

Hello Sougata, i think so L120 is not available in market than to L310 has more features than L120.i'll prefer L310.
Hello... I want to buy this camera but am confused about its battery life , so many people have said that its battery life is too short so wat if i use a rechargable ?

pls use li-thium batteries
is the AA' battery rechargable
is this camera has only internal memory?

or i can use mmc?
Hello... I want to buy this camera but am confused about its battery life , so many people have said that its battery life is too short so wat if i use a rechargable ?
this camera is very nice
Battery life is absolutely ok. I took over 300 photos during week. Now I'm testing it with recharchable one and it works even better.
PRO's: Fantastic little Camera I'm used to Professional DSLR's this is a very good camera, great results, brilliant zoom for a small bridge camera, excellent battery life, nice build quality and a give away price for the quality,
CON's: a viewfinder would be nice for the zoom on this camera has, LCD screen is good but in bright conditions not easy to see, also pitty does not have a flash gun hot shoe but it is a bridge camera after all not an SLR.
I would still Rate 5 out of 5 though
how to click panormic pic in l310
Now I use L310 with recharchable 2500mAh. Works great. I like it more and more.
I have bought a Nikkon L 310 Camera. It's performance is superb but panorama mode is not like sony cameras.
how to click panormic pic in l310 ??
i bought L310 and it is quite good. !!
pleasure to do photography. .
does this camera gives manual shooting abilities
I bought my wife the L310. In auto mode, for some reason, maybe 40-50% of shots she takes are "fuzzy" with unclear definition. Like camear shake of 'out-of-focus'. Anybody know what I'm missing about the features/settings ??
I wanna buy me a professional camera, any suggestions??
Hi All,
Thanks for everyones comment and suggestions. It helps a lot.
Please tell which i should buy,
1 ) Nikon Coolpix S6300 (or)
2) Nikon Coolpix L310. which is better. Am doing dress business. My camera should give the same colour of the dress without much difference. Please suggest considering this
my newly Nikkon L 310 Camera shows battery exhausted while batteried are new. can anybody sugg. me what is wrong with my cam ?
i was wondering about this camera nikon L310.how long can you get out of the batteries .do it take clear pics.
I'm having the same problem as alistair. when i take pictures of my toddler the pics come out blurred and no definition. Anybody's help would be nice.
@slr- make sure the camera is on 16 megapixels. if it's on anything lower it takes fuzzy pics.
Thx, sp unfortunately my L310 only goes to 14.1 mp. So I think it might be a bad buy.
@sp; I am also facing the same problems .i.e. blurred pictures. max resolution this camera has is 14.1 mp. is there anything i am missing in the settings?
@Ashish: The viewfinder in my camera never looks clear, even though the camera indicates correct focus and the actual photos are fine. What's wrong?
Some SLR cameras have a sliding control or knob called the "diopter adjustment lever (or knob)" near the
viewfinder opening that adjusts the viewfinder to your vision. If your camera has this adjustment,
it is probably incorrectly set for your eye. Simply slide the lever up or down (or pull out and turn the knob) until the black markings in the viewfinder are clear. Please refer to your camera's instruction manual for details.
If your SLR does not have a built-in diopter adjustment, you may need one of our optional diopter correction lenses to obtain a clear viewfinder image.
@slr thnks for your comment. my query is in relation to nikon coolpix l310. whenever i am taking pictures i am getting blurred images as output pictures. can you tell me is there any setting which need to be adjusted in this camera
Ashish, I apologize.. Idk how to get my pics to turn out either.. They are still blurry.

he there - just bougth the nicon L310 - but its wiered bc although its on "auto" the pics are not clear - based on every little movement?!? can anybody help me out?? would be nice!
i new buy Nikon cool-pix L310 having good experience but i don't know how to use panorama function
any one plz help...
I brought the Nikon coolpixL310 and would like to take a couple close(close as possible)ups of some old silver dollars, can anyone tell me what setting I should use? I've used the "Auto" mode and with the "Macro" mode together, but the camara just doesn't want to focus clearly as I need to show the dates on the coins...My question is, is there a better setting that would allow to get a closer picture? ... Thanks
slider25 make sure it is not zoomed out when taking macro, zoom it in for better focus. Good camera for the price, but has some problems focusing at times. Battery life is very good, over 400 photos on one set of batteries. Takes SD memory card, maybe mmc also, cannot change lens.
by the way, please nobody think that more megapixels means better photos and vice versa. With the very small sensor size in all of these non-slr cameras practically the opposite is true, and normally a 10mp camera takes better pics than a 16mp camera. On an slr it's very different, they have very large sensors
I planned to buy Nikon L810.. But, the user review is not good. As they are saying low light pic too poor, zooming uncontrold, ISO bad, slow to click, and battery backup also poor.
But, I found L310 has high ISO. So, is it better to choice L310, though L810 updated version.
Am also planning to buy canon SX160. But, same problem low light pic bad.
What I should to do?
Help me
How is the closeup snaps?
Is the background defocus impressive??
Plz rply me quick.
I'm gonna buy it in next 2days
Eric - Thanks for explaining the megapixel vs image clarity concept. I have always been wondering whay my 5 mp camera took equally good or better pictures than my 10 mp camera.
I would also be greatful if anyone could verify if CMOS sensors are better then CCD in the superzoom compacts. I am confused to choose. I want to buy a camera of compact superzoom type with zoom (16x and above) and good image quality and especially low light / indoor images. Any suggestions appreciated.
Recently purchased (2) L310 from target. One on black friday for $99.00. Three days later target in Camarrillo had a close out sale on the L310 for $69.00. At that price what would you do ? I bought another one. To fix focus problem upgrade your card to class 10. press and hold shutter button half way down allow camera to focus then complete your plung. Perfect picture everytime.
I have Nikon coolpix L310 from a friend of mine, I want to blur the background and make only one object sharper, please tell me how can I do so with this cam?
The L310 has a auto focus feature, when you point the camara at your subject allow the camera to focus this may take a second or two,you will hear the camera working to focus. as you peer in your view finder you will see two RED brackets framing your subject wait until the brackets turn GREEN. the subject will be in focus and your background will be out of focus.
Can you tell me about night photos are they good
Night photos are good you need to be 4-5 feet away from subject to utilize flash.Photos without flash will require you to use one of the preset controls to accomadate low lighting. Dusk/dawn,night landscaping,fireworks etc.you select what type of photo you are shooting from the menu,and the camera does the rest. You have about 35 preset controls to use.
Hi I just bought this camera but I can not find a setting where my pictures wont be extremely blurry if someone moves just a little. Those who shared they had the same problem did you get it fixed?
Hi Gabby, Place the setting to Easy Auto Mode. Start with a close-up shot. The camera takes a little longer to focus than most. push shutter button halfway down until you hear the motorixed lens working,frame subject, wait until it has completely dialed in your subject,then complete your plung.
The trick is to push shutter halfway,frame,and shoot.
here's the link for L310's specs..
I just bought this camera and loving it. Except one major issue. Some of my pictures come blur while others dont. Help please.
does the nikon have a flash option?
Yes it has several.Somethings to keep in mind with the flash, you still need to manaully press button to open flash on top of camera.Red eye reduction activated, you need to hold focus alot longer as the flash will flash several times before the shutter will release the delay is very noticable, if you dont need the red eye reduction on it is best to not use it until you are comfortable with the delay.
I heard this camara battery backup is not good.. from full charge we can take upto 60-70pics.. can any one suggest me it could be better to buy or can i go with some other one..
The battery life depends on the type of batteries you use. I get excellent battery yeild. with a Eneriger NiMH rechargeable set for $16.00 including charger. Still on first charge since Jan 1, over 400 pics, most without flash. Tip download CD and edit pics from PC and not your camera, will save batteries.
Nikon L-810 is the advanced version of L-310.
Still people say that L-310 is better.
It is just a rumour or is L-310 better dan L-810..?
Are the pics taken during evening and night hours using L-310 blurred..?
If yes then can anyone suggest me which cam to go for..
You have to work around the night pics as the flash is not very strong and you can not upgrade it. Make sure subjects are lit with secondary lighting.Tip#1 for night pics do not use red-eye reduction, the camera will flash several times prior to the shutter releasing, most people will think the camera has taken the pic and move prematurly causing a blurred mess. A lot of poeple like the L-310 because of the price.If you move up to the 510 or 810 you should get a full DSLR camera for the same money.
The L310 is two steps down from the L-810.
thnks a lot Kshaif.. :)
Rather than taking L310 or L810 i'm ordering Fujifilm S-3300..
how is NIKON L-310??? Is it worth to buy it??
The L-310 is a great buy at $100.00-$150.00. Excellent lens with 21X zoom, size does matter the camera can be operated with one hand.Good for sporting events and vacations when you dont want to lug around a ton of equipment. I compared some of my pic with a camera that cost $1500.00, and the L-310 held its own. Here is my set-up.
L-310 Camera $69.00,8GB Flash 30MB/s, Class 10 Ultra San disk $19.00, Energizer NiMN rechargable batteries and charger $16.00, Eye-fi card $40.00, Total $144.00 for 14.1 Megs / 21X Zoom / wifi / camera all new equipment plus the camera can shoot 10 to 20 minutes of 720 video as well. If you can find a camera with more features for less let me know ?
i am new in using the l310
can some one give help on
- how to avoid blurred images
- use the option of micro pics
I bought this camera and have tried everything and all it takes is blured pictures as the I can hear the shutter and the speed is slow 1 to 2 sec.
they make junk....don't buy
Hi there bought a L310 2 weeks ago from dubai and Day pictures are simply out of the world its awsome for some one like me not at all specialized in photography i like to take pics when in car of different milestones and objects o. The way or on a cruise. For day time it does wonders but at night i usually take crap photos specially if the object is really far... Even for the near objects many times it turn out to be blurred. But i think i shouldnt blame the camera i havent gone through a single page of the manual and not even used the CD which came with it...
So i wd say its a good buy! With an awesome zoom just love it!
If only some one cd teach me to take long distance clear photos with this device it would be the best thing to happen for me!
Well I returned the camera and got the same l310 and took it home. The zoom function button didn't want to work at first. When I went to take a picture it would come into focus and the go right by the focus to a blurred shot. The camera was on easy. I returned the camera and just returned it. worst camera I ever seen. Two brand new nikon cameras,L310 junk. I know I had enough.
Remember for long distant shots,when using the 21X zoom it also magnifies the movements of the camera, so even a slight wobble of the hand will magnify that movement 21X more(blurred shots). use the stabling tool and if you have a small tripod use it for set shots.
i am Puzzled between nikon l310 and fujifilm s4000 ,, can any body help me or give me an advice ??
@kshaif can u help me plzz ,, i am a
beginner so i want a camera in a GD price with a good specifications ,, so i am Puzzled between nikon l310 and fujifilm s4000 ,, can any body help me or give me an advice ??
fujifilm s4000 wins!!! I have not used the Fuji S4000, but the fact that it has a better zoom, and a view finder gives it the edge. I cant speak on the quailty of the pictures. but the features are excellent. only problem for me is the look of the material too much plastic.

Got this camera as a Christmas present, had to get it exchanged less than 2 weeks later because every time I tried to turn it on it would tell me to take the lens cap off ... IT WAS NEVER ON ! ... now, 4 months later after literally using it less than a handful of times, it doesn't turn on telling me BATTERY EXHAUSTED with BRAND NEW lithium batteries in them. I love the way it takes pictures but its a total waste to me with all these problems it shouldn't be having!!!!!
I bought this last fall I have some really great pictures but most recently it is using batteries after two pictures I had 12 batteries in the package and have just put 4 new ones in today I went out to take some pictures in my garden and it closes up?? This is frustrating as you can miss a great picture due too the batteries....don't know what else to do.....never had this problem with our little digital cameras and their rechargeable batteries.
Does anyone know how to turn off shutter sound on the L310 like you can on the L100?

Coolpix L310 was fantastic for 15mnths and now suddenly all moving objects, such as grandkids, are blurred. I have tried every setting with no success. I notice lots of peoople complaining about blurred images - anyone find an answer?
Please, can anyone tell me exactly how to reset this camera? I could not find any reset button. In the menu I see "Settings" but there is only firmware info. Nothing else!
Does anyone know if the nikon coolpix l310 has a other body number other than the sticker on the under side? I had one back from repair today and swear that its not the same body! It has the right sticker on it with the right number but i think that someone has changed the sticker and put it on another body! Thankyou and look forward to hearing!

SUMMIT — High school students who park their cars on residential streets around the high school continue to irk residents of the area. Tuesday night the council held a public hearing on the issue and adopted an ordinance to restrict parking during school hours on Edgar Street.
The council received support from parents living near Ashland Road, who spoke in favor of the traffic ordinance, which was amended Tuesday night to restrict speed on Ashland between Pine Grove Avenue and Elm Place to 25 miles an hour.
There may be other changes to speed limits in the future for safety reasons, as the council considers what to do with some other residential areas that people use as shortcuts into the downtown area. The New Jersey Transit bridge on Morris Avenue is scheduled for repair next year, which could force more people onto the side roads, so the council is considering what changes, if any, should be made. Councilman Tom Getzendanner suggested all city controlled roads have a 25 mile per hour restriction placed on them.
During the meeting, the issue of lightning detection systems came up again. The council has opposed the installation of these systems on its recreation fields and, most recently, excluded adding them in a proposal recently made for a county recreation grant. Michael Vernotico, who is running for council on the Democratic ticket in the Second Ward, called on the council to reverse that decision.

OK.....this is what I was needing, you may be able to rescue the drive if you can find the firmware in bin format, and the drive has a Mediatek chipset...but I did a little looking and couln't find which chipset it has nor could I find the firmware anywhere. There exists a brute force flasher for the Mediatek chipset that makes it possible to recover from most bad flashes....
Also some drives have an extra series of jumpers that will let the DOS flash program work.....they would be located near the power connection or by the M/S/CS jumper.
Thirdly I really wouldn't spend too much time on the drive, because you can get a decent reader fairly cheap these days.....like a 32x from here $16 (+ s&h)

Lottery money to org
The British Film Commission, which is responsible for encouraging and supporting international film production in Blighty, has been awarded an additional £100,000 ($158,200) of lottery coin from the British Film Institute.
In addition to the uptick in lottery funding, the promotional agency now has six commercial sponsors that will form the founding membership of the agency's public-private partnership.
Warner Bros. and its U.K.-based production operations, Disney, vfx house Framestore, Pinewood Studios Group, accountancy firm RSM Tenon and media lawyers Harbottle & Lewis are privately sponsoring the BFC.
The six new sponsors have boarded the agency following U.K. film minister Ed Vaizey's remit to make the BFC a public-private partnership.
BFC also draws funding from the Dept. for Culture, Media and Sport through the BFI.
"This innovative approach will assist the BFC in attracting inward investment and developing collaborative partnerships as well as celebrating our rich cultural heritage worldwide through increased film export opportunities," Vaizey said.

I have heard of some cruel things before but for an educator to make her kindergartener do this is "beyond the pale."
Seen in the above video, parent Lisa Skidmore recounts the horror her little girl had to endure when her teacher at the Southwest school in Washburn, Mo., didn't let her go to the bathroom. Mom said her daughter had diarrhea and because the teacher wouldn't allow her to go use the restroom, she was forced to go in her pants.
The child couldn't help it and to make bad matters worse, this teacher wrapped a garbage bag around her and made that 6-year-old sit for 15 minutes in her poop to finish the test.
It was only then that she called Mrs. Skidmore to come get her daughter. Mom said it took her another 20 minutes to get to the school and by that time, faeces were running down her daughter's legs and out the back of her pants. It was a horrible mess, no pun intended.
The child's parents were both highly upset and as you can see, dad can hardly speak. He said if he had sent his child to school with poop in her pants, he would have been arrested for child abuse. Mom Lisa had this to say about her little girl's treatment, "you don't even treat a dog that way" and hoped that this incident would cause some serious change at her daughter's elementary school.
The superintendent Bob Walker said he wished the school had acted differently and regretted what happened. He promised positive change in the future.
The parents are not suing but mom said she "wouldn't want this to happen to another child."
What do you think: cruel and unusual punishment or teacher did the appropriate thing?

The agency specializes in creating matches between a mentor and a child which are known as "Bigs" and "Littles."
Danielle Clementson, director of high school mentoring, matches high school mentors with elementary school children.
Her program is looking to replenish new matches. Locally, there is a need for Little Sisters at Johnston Elementary School in Vineland. There is a shortage of Littles in Woodstown, and the program is looking to increase the number of Littles in that area
that are currently being mentored.
Valerie Farrow, enrollment and match support specialist, supports case management and coordinates client activities and special outreach projects for the agency. Big Brothers in Bridgeton High School are needed for her program.
Additionally, Carol D'Orio, director of adult school based mentoring, matches adult mentors with elementary and middle school children. She is seeking Big Brothers in
Salem Middle School.
Veterans are also needed at Veterans Memorial Middle School in Vineland.
Gloria Thompson, director of community based mentoring, matches adult mentors with children where they share fun activities in their communities. She is looking for male and female volunteers in the Vineland area. She is also looking for male volunteers for Bridgeton, Woodstown and Penns Grove.
There are also "Ready To Be Matched" Littles in the program. All they need is a caring adult as a mentor.

How does one outdo a toilet-training kit for cats?
With a pillowcase designed to be worn - yes, worn - on the head, with a hole to accommodate earphone wires and a pocket for an iPod or a remote control, Rebecca Rescate believes.
The Yardley mother of three has $15,000 in personal finances banking on it, and has just secured an additional $90,000 from Robert Herjavec, an investor on ABC-TV's popular Shark Tank. The technology titan missed out on Rescate's funky feline venture when she appeared on the show in 2011 - sales of the CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit have reached $5 million - and "I'm not going to do it again," he said when she returned for a Feb. 8 episode pitching the new product - the HoodiePillow.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) The masseur for a fourth-division Brazilian football team stepped onto the pitch and defended not one but two hard shots on goal.
Tupi missed out on a quarterfinals spot in the Serie D championship after the masseur, Romildo da Silva, took action into his own hands for his visiting Aparecidense.
In the 89th minute with the score level at 2-2 in the Saturday match, Silva lurked on the left side of goal when a Tupi player had an open shot. Silva blocked that shot and another one moments later.
Enraged Tupi players chased Silva from the pitch and police grabbed him for his own protection. Officials may order a rematch.
Silva tells a local radio that "I blocked the goal and I'd block it again."

Dear Dr. Don,
I am halfway to paying off my mortgage. It is a 15-year 5.5 percent fixed-rate mortgage obtained in 2004 for the amount of $90,000. It has an outstanding balance of $47,000, and the monthly payment, including interest, principal and escrow, is $800. I would like to lower the monthly payment. I tried to refinance with a lender, but the estimated closing cost was almost $5,000, so I didn't go with the refinance.
I have $40,000 equity in my home, but I am not sure if it is a good idea to borrow against that equity to pay off the mortgage. Are there private parties or people who can loan me $45,000 for 10 years, or is there a different way to obtain money without closing costs as a personal loan to pay off a mortgage? I can afford to pay the mortgage as it is, but I need to free up some money for a child going off to college. Thank you for your advice.
Best regards,
-- Boris Bestrate
Dear Boris,
What you're trying to capture is a lower interest rate. You're not going to get that from a private-party lender or a personal loan. You also could lose some important income tax benefits if the loan isn't secured by the property.
I can understand your reluctance to pay $5,000 in closing costs to refinance a $90,000 loan balance. Bankrate's national average for closing costs in its 2011 Closing Cost Survey is $4,070, although the survey results were for a $200,000 purchase mortgage, not a $90,000 refinancing. While your closing-cost estimate is high, it may be reasonable for your part of the country.
As I write this reply, Bankrate's national average for a new 15-year fixed-rate mortgage is 3.2 percent. The question becomes: Are you willing to pay the closing costs to capture the lower interest rate to free up the money in your monthly budget?
If you're halfway done on your original 15-year mortgage, refinancing into a new 15-year mortgage will cost you money, even with the lower interest rate, because you're extending your existing 7.5-year mortgage into a new 15-year mortgage. My numbers are approximate because I don't know the amount of your escrow payment. You do, however, reduce your monthly hit by about $404.66, as shown in the table below.
Refinancing with a new 15-year fixed-rate mortgage increases your total interest expense by almost $4,000 pretax. Add $5,000 in closing costs into the mix, and you're paying $9,000 to free up about $400 a month in your monthly budget. Is it worth it? I don't think it will go all that far in paying for your child's college expenses, but it will help.
Personally, I like to see the kids financing their college expenses. It gives them skin in the game, and they're the ones who are benefiting from the investment.
You also could consider refinancing your mortgage with a home equity line of credit. That type of loan typically has lower closing costs, but it's a variable-rate loan that requires interest-only payments in the early years of the loan.

text: I sold an item on ioffer.com. I sell lots of things on this site and I ONLY accept payments through paypal.My buyers have always paid via credit card through paypal. Using a credit card makes the transaction INSTANTANEOUS.This evening, I had a buyer pay with a CHECK through paypal. They want the item by Christmas.My problem is... To guarantee shipment by Christmas, I'll have to USPS Express it early this week. However, the payment probably wont be confirmed until after I ship the item - and probably wont be confirmed until AFTER the buyer RECEIVES the item.Do they have the ability to CANCEL payment? I mean... Before payment is confirmed, can they cancel? I'm worried that if I send their items before Christmas, that they will cancel payment after the item is received. Is that possible? Or does paypal not allow you to cancel once the confirmation processes has started?

If you say so. Me, I have kinda always viewed the Odds & Ends folder as a bit tongue-in-cheek from the start and that's how I take the bulk of the threads I read here - including my own. My starting point with this thread wasn't intended to be condescending so much as a question posed in mildly amused confusion.
I really don't get why people jump into something like primal or paleo and then try to force fit it into something that looks closer to what they grew up on. That's just me. At that point what's the point in wearing the label in the first place? But as has been said, to each their own, I can have that viewpoint without being condescending to those who do not even if you can't hear that viewpoint without assuming condescention.
I can also be weary as hell of seeing things like paleobread derail potential newcomers to this lifestyle.
As I can view it as a total wtf? in general, because for me the beauty of the Primal BP was always its simplicity and yeah, I kinda do find it silly when people choose to complicate things needlessly. And I leave them to it. And come over here to see if anyone else is of a similar opinion to my own or if maybe I *am* just playing the part of the vinegar based vaginal cleanser.
If you find that condescending, fine.

Xbox account hacked...
I have an xbox account that was hacked, and I see someone else below me that did that. It was just hacked about 45 minutes ago. It's a halo account mainly. I tried forcing him into a custom game so i could get his ip address, but i couldn't get him in. I know he lives in conneticut, and i have a lot of info about my account. the gamertag is
'Samaritan X' and the major reason I want is back is because it has recon armor. I have many accounts, but that is my only one with recon armor. I called microsoft, and they said they cannot help because another person called about it being stolen and they gave THEM the info... its the hacker. So... I have the current live id of it, the gt is up there. I can give all previous info to anyone willing to help... the secret answer is changed, alternate email is different, and the password is obviously different. Anything I can do to help is well appreciated. I have never seen these forums but I hope I can get some help. I consider myself an avid computer user, but not quite like a hacker. I know some things about the dark side of computing, but nothing near to help myself. I hope someone can help. Anything you need, I am willing to give in a private chat. If you help, we can both share the account for a time. I am the rightful owner of the account, and can give you ANY information about it. I have a popular youtube video about it on 'youtube.com/yellan13' that is where I believe the hacker found out about my account.
Re: Xbox account hacked...
Ok i know the story... because this account is mine. I wanted the account to a 50 so i gave it to my 'friend' LANstand to boost it. he ended up deleting all the friends, changing all the info. and i guess he sold it to you or something. I was the one that called microsoft about having the account stolen because it was mine in the first place. you cant call them to get it back anyway because i have the information the account was CREATED with when i signed up for xbox live. if you check the account date, its been on xbox live for almost two years now. thats when i started the account with totally different information now.
