I already have a smartphone in which I don't use the camera but use a 'real' camera.
I'm interested in the camera but don't need another phone.
It does allow the telcos to be part of the distribution but can I get one without having a phone plan?
If I want to use the Nokia 1020 or some advanced imaging device I buy a phone I don't use or make yet another switch to another phone plan.
But an advanced imaging device can be connected to some communications system or use WiFi.
I'm thinking, will there be small computers carried by people which will handle imaging and communications and avoid the need to cram it all in one device.
The Google modular phone seems to be a step in this direction where camera modules are swapped on a chassis which has a phone and so on.
maybe have an unboxing of a blurry object and then substitute with the Next Best Thing in the last frame.
use for everything
Small cameras with non removeable primes can be fine tuned but the future is with cheaper lenses and sharpened with software.
I hope camera makers don't pass off the cheaper lenses as more expensive ones, but DXOMark might show those up.
It's an interesting thought that a cheap prime can have the CA and the other defects compensated by faster processors.
Sure this lens optimisation is already happening with mobile phone sized lenses and can be scaled up to SLRs.
Also as we move away from the 'tyranny of 35mm film' lens sizes and sensor sizes will reach a standard size similar to MFT but it's a format war at the moment.
I think of cars as a parallel as they take on the areodynamic 4 cylinder and mostly look the same.
The full frame SLRs and lenses were really a sop to film experienced pros and will soon be the new 'large format' as there will always be a need for full frame for the boutique pro market
After I realised I had two of everything, eg
Canon 5D mkII and mkIII
two iphones 3GS & 4
two ipads 2 & 3
and a few more examples, I apply a 'hit the wall' rule. I ask myself if I have hit the wall or have I reached a limitation of the equipment I have.
It helps me pause and think.
The turning point was realising there was very little difference between the iphones and I won't do minor or incremental upgrades.
I thought the trick which Canon at least have is something like a strip of sticky tape on the bottom of the sensor to collect internal dust.
presumably this strip is replaced when the camera is serviced.
I dimly recall sometimes emulsion and particles of film would collect inside the camera. Again cleaned out as part of a maintenance plan.
I have the f/2.8 variety and sometimes it can be heavy and sticks out. This lens would be less noticeable.
I would prefer this lens to the f/2.8MkII.
However I'd have to try it out in the shop first.
The narrator of the AF one sounds like CHuck Westfall
Guidenet: Great article. Thank you. So many don't consider a single light as studio lighting or try Strobist when a single monolight might be a better alternative so Kudos for this. This type of thing just helps people think about getting into a home studio situation or even carrying a single monolight with a battery pack on location.
So many think you have to start with three, four or five lights. I started with two and have over six now, but don't use them all very often. Many times I take only one and a reflector into the field.
Again, Thank you and Kudos to DPReview and Thomas Park for a great job.
I recently read that a light is best for movies and stills photographers should use a strobe.
So does it come down to opinion and experience and that the choice is a situational thing?
I imagine that you would have to take test photos with a strobe setup but lighting would be easier to visualise.
(unknown member): It´s great that professional photographers teach amateurs how to shoot. Then amateurs start taking pictures cheaply or pro bono and pros lose their jobs.
Pros go to schools, four years photography there and then they buy expensive gear and use money to get clients. And then some of them teach amateurs in web which causes the profession to collapse, that has happened all over and photography is a dying profession.
I am not a pro but I have roughly the same gear as a wedding photographer but I photograph birds and railway objects and old buildings and I know that I don't have the skill to do a wedding.
I recently took photos of a friend's cat and it was brought home to me that the results were not very good and I know nothing about WB and lighting and I have been experimenting with a grey card.
But I know not to give up my day job.
mick232: The solution would be easy, even without WTO doing anything.
Sell the camera with a 30-minute limit and make available an updated firmware that removes the limit.
"Making available" can be anything from an official download to accidentally "leaking" the firmware.
Does the law affect me in Australia? There's probably some agreement somewhere.
Could I elect to pay this tax and get an authorised firmware update?
Might affect resale possibilities.
itsastickup: In the long run I would expect the duty to be applied to cameras also. This is a naive view of taxman behaviour. This is a bad move that is likely to cost us.
strange that it's a European tax which affects me in Australia. And it's based on an assumption that we will record movies in cinemas.
Last I heard, original movies are leaked days before release and would be a better quality than a crude cinema recording with the heads of cinema patrons on the bottom.
LaFonte: Ok rhetoric aside, one thing I don't understand, why there is actually a higher duty tax for video cameras? What is the purpose of this?
It wouldn't be subtle to take a DSLR like the Canon 5D mkII into a cinema to record the movie.
Would I sell enough to make up the cost?
In the past, colour reproduction devices had to pass treasury regulations about copying money, but it doesn't seem to be a problem now.
My thought is that there is a different tax regime for video cameras and it is not a money grab by all manufacturers.
Joseph S Wisniewski: There are several cameras that seamlessly start new files every time a 4 gig file fills. That "concern" is a non-issue.
There really aren't any concerns about cameras overheating, either. Build it for liveview, and the heat producing display and processor pretty much run full time anyway.
is the heat from the backlit screen? If I was recording a car journey or something that doesn't require the camera to be moved then could I not dim the backlighting?
Daryl Cheshire: The Canon 5D Mk III will start a new file on reaching 4GB. But the 30 min limit remains. What I want to do is record car journeys which can exceed 30 mins.
I don't know if this limit exists in Australia and I'd like to pay the extra tax if there is a firmware option. But it seems to be a European tax which affects the whole world.
This is similar to the (no longer applied) tethering restrictions placed on the iPhone because of an agreement with AT&T which affected the world distribution and encouraged jailbreaking.
the iphone 4 was blocked from tethering by Apple until iOS 4.3 was introduced with personal hotspot. It only worked on the IPhone 4 or later. Jailbroken devices had no restriction.
The Canon 5D Mk III will start a new file on reaching 4GB. But the 30 min limit remains. What I want to do is record car journeys which can exceed 30 mins.
I don't know if this limit exists in Australia and I'd like to pay the extra tax if there is a firmware option. But it seems to be a European tax which affects the whole world.
This is similar to the (no longer applied) tethering restrictions placed on the iPhone because of an agreement with AT&T which affected the world distribution and encouraged jailbreaking.
There were overheating issues with the batteries of the Nikon D800 and some others.
How many of you whingers have a 5D Mk III?
I dimly recall some Leica problem with the M8, a sensor which was too sensitive to IR and the solution was an IR filter which Leica supplied.
I don't know of any Nikon issues but I'm sure there are some.
I have a 5D Mk III and I'm not too fussed and I seldom use the display light. And I know that tape is used in many electrical devices.

Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Mark Zalewski
March 30, 2017
In today's CyclingTips Daily News Digest: Kristoff wins second stage of De Panne, Gilbert extends lead; Avila wins a second stage at Tour de Taiwan; Better than ever at Spring Classics, Durbridge sets his eyes on Flanders and Roubaix; Hall closes in on Allegaert as the Indian Pacific Wheel Race approaches its final 1,000km; Keukeleire out of De Panne with Achilles injury; 15 riders, including stage winner Gilbert, fined for riding sidewalks at De Panne opener; Gamesmanship between Quick-Step Floors and Sagan heading into Flanders; Van Avermaet confident heading into Flanders; Bouhanni extends with Cofidis for two years; Gaviria leaves Classics to focus on Giro; Team Sunweb gives injury updates; Bernard Hinault inducted into Giro hall of fame; Phil Gaimon's "Worst Retirement Ever," episode 1: Palomar; Cross is not coming (yet).
Jens Keukeleire (ORICA-Scott) was unable to start the second stage of the Three Days of De Panne-Koksijde, citing an ongoing Achilles tendon issue. As a result the team was down a rider to help second overall Luke Durbridge on a crosswind stage that saw him caught out alone in the second group of the day.
Greg Van Avermaet beats compatriot Jens Keukeleire to the line with the peloton approaching fast at Gent-Wevelgem.
"Jens has a slight irritation to the Achilles tendon. Therefore we have decided to rest him so that his participation in Sunday's Tour of Flanders is not compromised," said sports director Lorenzo Lapage. "A longer time in the Three Days would be detrimental for him, hence our decision to let him go home early."
The team was left with only six riders to aid Durbridge, including Christopher Juul Jensen, Alexander Edmondson, Ruger Kluge and Luca Mezgec.
However, after finishing second last Sunday in Ghent-Wevelgem, the team clearly believes Keukeleire can contend for the Monument win on Sunday in De Ronde.

Ford unveiled the new Mustang Mach-E to the European public for the first time today at the "Go Electric" event in London. With the European Roadshow, Ford wants to inform consumers about the path to an electrified future. In addition, 1,000 charging stations are to be installed at European company locations over the next three years.
The "Go Electric" roadshow is an interactive experience that aims to reduce any reservations about electromobility and to help consumers decide on electrified vehicles based on well-founded knowledge.
Ford Mustang Mach-E comes with two battery options, with rear or all-wheel drive, and different power levels on the European market. The price starts at 46,900 euros.
The 4.71 meters long, 1.88 meters wide and 1.60-meter electric car could already be configured and reserved for a deposit of 1,000 euros. At the market launch there was also a special "First Edition". The reservation quota for the "First Edition" has now been exhausted.
Ford Mustang Mach-E buyers who make reservations this year will get a free one-year subscription to FordPass app services. The well-known charging service " Ford Charging Solutions " is not only available to buyers of a Mach-E but can be used by all owners of a purely electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid from Ford. However, prices for the charging service have not yet been mentioned.
Ford will set up 1,000 charging stations for employees at European company locations over the next three years.
"The Mustang Mach-E makes electrification attractive in every way," said Roelant de Waard, vice president, marketing, sales & service, Ford of Europe. "This is the mustang for a new generation - customers can already order it online, configure it, and they can even arrange delivery."
Ford is investing over $ 11 billion in electrifying its own car models worldwide. Ford plans to offer a total of 18 electrified models in Europe by the end of 2021.
The current strategy includes the 48-volt hybrids Ford Fiesta, Puma, Focus, Kuga, Transit, Transit Custom and the Tourneo Custom. Ford wants to offer the Mondeo, Kuga, S-Max and Galaxy as a full hybrid. The Explorer, Kuga, Transit Custom and Tourneo Custom complete the portfolio as a plug-in hybrid.
Only the Mustang Mach-E, the Transit and an unknown light commercial vehicle will be purely electric.

Every two to three minutes, people walked into the Northbridge Police Department yesterday, dropping off bags of unused heart medication, anti-anxiety pills, painkillers like Vicodin, fentanyl and oxcycodone and antibiotics of all sorts.
It wasn't a drug bust.
Saturday was the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, an opportunity for people to safely get rid of unwanted or expired drugs that have accumulated in their medicine cabinets, anonymously and with no questions asked.
Police departments across the region including Worcester, Shrewsbury, Holden, Leicester and Millbury, in addition to Northbridge, were among the thousands of participating disposal sites nationwide.
This was the fifth drug take-back day sponsored by the DEA since it began the program in October 2010.
Last April, citizens turned in a record-breaking 552,161 pounds (276 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,659 take-back sites available in all 50 states and U.S. territories, according to the DEA. Over two years, 1.5 million pounds of medication have been removed from circulation.
Northbridge Detective Sgt. John Ouillette said, "It's better than going down the toilet or sink and ending up in the groundwater."
Flushing away medication is now discouraged, since researchers reported detecting prescription drugs and household chemicals in groundwater and wells. It is not known if such levels are harmful to humans, but endocrine-disrupting hormones have been found in fish in waterways across America, affecting their ability to reproduce.
The take-back program also helps law enforcement reduce the availability of drugs that have become a target for break-ins. "It prevents people from getting a hold of them and selling them on the street," Detective Sgt. Ouillette said.
Gurine Fogg of Northbridge brought in cancer medications that her husband no longer needed, since his cancer is in remission.
She inquired whether there would be any way to donate unopened, unexpired drugs to medical missionaries who might be able to use them in parts of the world where medicine wasn't available. Detective Sgt. Ouillette said the drugs couldn't be passed along, but the department would bring them to the state police for incineration that afternoon.
"They give out way too many drugs," Mrs. Fogg said about the collection she had gathered from her family.
Richard Trier of the Whitinsville section of Northbridge brought in a variety of medications, including antibiotics.
"I don't want to put them in a landfill and I don't want to flush them," he said. "It's a good service."
At the Millbury Police Department a bright yellow locked mailbox was placed in the entryway about a month ago to collect unwanted drugs 24 hours a day. The national take-back day was a way to highlight the ongoing service for residents.
"It was nonstop this morning. That (mailbox) is full," said Dispatcher Patricia Gibson.
She said one woman just stopped by who had two family members recently pass away and she wanted to drop off their medications.
"This way they'll be disposed of properly and not be around where children can get a hold of them, or anybody unstable."
No questions were asked about what people are bringing in, but Ms. Gibson said that needles or syringes are to be put in separate marked boxes next to the yellow mailbox.
Sgt. Carl Supernor from the Worcester Police Department vice squad was manning the drop-off at the Worcester Senior Center, which also has a permanent yellow drop box, which, unlike Millbury's, is for disposing needles and syringes.
He said that about 25 people had stopped by in the first two hours of the event.
"It's definitely a good thing that people are bringing these in so you don't have these drugs sitting around the house anymore," Sgt. Supernor said.
"It could have some impact on drugs being diverted illegally. I think it helps in a lot of different aspects."
Shrewsbury also had a steady stream of drop-offs at its Senior Center, according to Officer Sean Maynard.
Two large trash barrels were over half full with blister packs and pill bottles, many with identifying patient names removed, as police suggested.
"A lot have been bringing in over-the-counter stuff, even like expired cough medicine," Officer Maynard said. "Some have brought in prescriptions for pets."
Anna Chittim of Shrewsbury came in with a bag of prescription drugs that hadn't worked for her daughter in a series of trial-and-error treatments. This was the second time Ms. Chittim had brought in unused medication and she said it helped control the clutter in the medicine cabinet.
"I wouldn't know what to do with them," Ms. Chittim said about the drugs. "This helps clean them out."

This year for the first time in three years the annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference (#AGBT19) will be held back in Marco Island Florida, where it traditionally was held for many years.
Those not familiar with AGBT, it is a specialty conference that began in the 1990's during the run-up to the first Human Genome Project, specializing in both the genomic science and the genomic technology, including bioinformatics, to reveal new insights into the genome. While searching for some additional background about this conference I came across this post from Daniel MacArthur from AGBT 2010, where a list of names bring back memories of those days (e.g. Luke Jostins, Dan Koboldt, Anthony Fejes…)
Of note this is when Pacific Biosciences made it's initial splash (take a look at Bio-IT World's take on their initial impressions of the RS II from 2010) and a brief mention is made of a small company called Ion Torrent, shown in private to thought-leaders but not in public. It was a memorable time – I myself had just joined Life Technologies a month before, we were promoting the SOLiD 4 platform at that time, and the Life Technologies' suite memorably had a billiard table with balls to explain the concept of two-base encoding.
Fast forward nine years, and PacBio has been acquired by Illumina for $1.2B just recently, the SOLiD platform is no longer, Ion Torrent and Life Technologies absorbed into Thermo Fisher in 2014 for $13.2B, and AGBT is still 'the' place for the latest in genomic technology, and the genomic biology it reveals. Here I'll preview a few of the upcoming talks from the agenda posted here; the conference starts February 27 2019.
A 'liquid biopsy' for cancer
Non-invasive cancer detection assays are truly something to keep aware of – not the least of which I myself am working on a blood-based early-detection technology at Singlera Genomics – and AGBT is not remiss from highlighting this important application. Joshua Cohen, affiliated with Johns Hopkins and a startup company called PapGene, where they are working on assays such as UroSEEK and PapSEEK for the detection of bladder or upper tract urothelial cancer from urine, or detection of endometrial or ovarian cancer from cervical fluid.
Dr. Cohen's talk is entitled "Detection and localization of surgically resectable cancers with a multi-analyte blood test".
Single-cell analysis at scale
A few years ago in 2015 Aviv Regev (Broad Institute) made quite a splash with a single-cell RNA-seq talk, using a home-brew technology at that time called Drop-Seq, of over 10,000 cells. At that time she requested a social media embargo as her data wasn't published yet, and now single-cell analysis bounding forward on many fronts. For example, the Human Cell Atlas Project is one example and Singlera co-founder Kun Zhang (UCSD) received $14M for 3D maps of human organs at single-cell resolution.
Dr. Regev's talk is entitled, "Cell atlases as road maps to human disease".
GenapSys will make a reappearance
In 2014, a small company called GenapSys gave a presentation at AGBT notable for what it did not have, and what scientists at this conference highly value – and that is DATA. A 'lunchbox'-size device for single-molecule sequencing, and even announced an early-access program. Having gone quiet for five years, they will be presenting again this year, and you can be sure the scientists in attendance will still be expecting data.
Dr. Tyson Clark of GenapSys will give a talk entitled "Electrical detection of single base incorporations enables high accuracy sequencing on a small scalable platform".
Spatial Profiling will be out in-force
Last year I wrote this piece on NanoString's Digital Spatial Profiling platform at AGBT18. This year NanoString will have a sponsored workshop with Peter Nelson (Fred Hutchison Cancer Center) speaking with the title "Mapping the microenvironment composition in metastatic prostate cancer by multi-analyte profiling using the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler", and John McPherson (UC Davis) presenting "Spatially resolving RNA biomarkers using GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler for early diagnosis and prognosis in melanoma".
NanoString is also sponsoring a special Pre-AGBT Spatial Genomics Summit on the afternoon of the first day (February 27, 2019 starting at noon), with something you do not normally see: presentations on the application (in this case spatial genomics) from alternative approaches, namely FISSEQ (being commercialized by a company called ReadCoor), MERFISH (an academic technology not yet commercialized), and Spatial Transcriptomics (recently acquired by 10X Genomics). If you are attending #AGBT19 and can arrive early, you can signup here.
Attending #AGBT19 and want to meet in-person?
This year I'll have the privilege of attending AGBT, and if you'd like to meet in-person would be happy to set something up, whether to talk about genomics in general, your particular idea or application, what Singlera is doing with early detection, or anything else. Just drop me a note via email (dale at yuzuki . org) and look forward to meeting you.

This weekend is the 20th reunion of my graduating class at the US Air Force Academy, and (as always) it was a pleasure today to be "photographically armed" with an iPhone and the Pro HDR app. Here are a few of my favorite takes from today. It was a gorgeous Colorado fall day! I applied an Instagram filter to the first HDR photo, the rest are just HDR images from HDR Pro.
These and other photos are available in this Flickr collection, check out more on our USAFA Class of 1992 Alumni Facebook Page.

As of now im having trouble with my internet connection thus giving me difficulty in uploading the ISO, if someone here is from the Philippines, i can share the iso image and he can share it on the net. i tried many times uploading the ISO but failed. I will try it again as soon as i fixed my internet connection...
As of this moment, im using my Y450 without the OKR functionality... still searching for a definite solution and will update you guys the soonest posible time.
You can reformat your C drive and do a clean install of the windows 7 without losing you OKR functionality as long as you dont mess with the partition.

Wow. Thank you participants in this thread. I just finished reading all 400+ posts and feel like I've completed an online class on HD management and backup.
I am a novice who is concerned about making sure I have an adequate backup and restore strategy for my new Lenovo IdeaPad 550, and I have few questions. If anyone can provide ANY insight I would be MOST grateful.
I'm running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit with 4 GB RAM and a 320GB HD partitioned as follows (according to Disk Management):
C: NTFS (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
Capacity 252.89 GB, Free Space 223.02 GB
Lenovo D: NTFS (Logical Drive)
Capacity 30.25 GB, Free space 15.29 GB
No drive letter: undefined file system (OEM Partition)
Capacity 14.75 GB, Free Space 14.75 GB
No drive letter: NTFS (System, Active, Primary Partition)
Capacity 200 MB, Free Space 168 MB
Q1: Am I correct in assuming that 14.75 GB OEM partition is the EISA partition I've read about in the thread?
Q2: Why does Disk Management show the entire 14.75 GB as being free space? Shouldn't it be almost full?
Q3: What is that 200 MB partition?
I have OKR 7.0 and recently ran System Backup to the default destination D:\Lenovo\OneKey Recovery\backup.wsi.
Q4: Am I correct in assuming this copied the OEM/EISA partition to D:? When I look at D: it appears to contain all the required Lenovo drivers (audio, camera, touchpad, VGA, Onekey_Recovery, etc.) Does it also contain Win 7?
Q5: If I do an OKR Restore To Factory Default, will this in effect use what was copied to D: to restore to C:? Will this restore Win 7 and all Lenovo drivers?
Q6: Am I correct in assuming any software I had installed on C: or any personal data on C: will be wiped out and not restored from D:?
I read in the OKR 6.0 documentation (that came with the laptop, not 7.0 documentation) that a system incremental backup can be done if it's to the same default designation on D:. Yet, when I select the System Backup a second time there is no incremental backup option, I'm simply told there is not enough space available for a system backup (probably because it already contains the first backup).
Q7: Why is that? Is it because there are no incremental system changes?
Q8: If I delete the initial system backup on D:, can I do another backup that will be more recent and contain all incremental changes?
I used OKR 7.0 to burn a Factory Default Recover Disc (two 4.7 GB DVDs).
Q9: Am I correct in assuming this is the same as doing the System Backup to the D: drive (except of course that it is external and not on the HD)?
I used OKR 7.0 to burn a Recovery Disc With Current System (five 4.7 GB DVDs).
Q10: Am I correct in assuming that if my HD crashes, I can use these DVDs to restore my entire C: drive (Win 7, Lenovo drivers, software apps and user data)?
Again, if anyone can provide ANY insight I would be MOST grateful.

To answer your questions about the drive descriptions -- I would say that a couple of these NTFS descriptions are duplicates. You have ONE drive, totaling 350 -- all partitions should add up to approx. this amount in total. It sounds like you have this 350 drive divided into 3 actual partitions -- a very large "C" partition -- about 250 G and two smaller ones -- the D -- about 32 G and the smaller "hidden" OKR partition, about 15GB (14.75GB). Yes, this smaller partition is where the OKR is residing with your motherboard drivers and, apparently, your Win 7 files (this is a presumption, if it is structured as Lenovo has done in the past). And yes, if you reinstall any operating system from this partition back to your C drive, it will wipe out all of your personal files and programs. This makes this type of operation (in my opinion) completely useless except in times of extreme emergency when you don't mind reinstalling every thing else from scratch. For this reason, most people have chosen to back up any really valuable files and programs to an independent backup system -- saves from alot of work in reinstalling things if you screw up the operating system really badly. Its too bad that Lenovo can't see its way to supplying driver and operating system disks with the computer when they sell them, but I guess you can't fix stupidity. Lenovo is not the only company that does this, by the way. I gave up Dell computers years ago for similar reasons. I would suggest that you download the Lenovo motherboard drivers while you still have a chance and also buy a set of Win 7 disks to fix your operating system instead of instituting the OKR restore. I am not sure what is in backup D, but if you can see the files with Window Explorer, you should be able to tell whether the Windows system is there or not. The incremental backup that you describe may be operating automatically. Many of these backup programs do this automatically. If you can see the files, check to see what their date of origin indicates -- if they are the latest and compare to your C files. Not having this backup system, I can't really tell you what is going on.
Sounds like you are well on the way to getting the hang of your computer. Congrats.
Forgot to mention -- if you downloaded 5 DVDs from the backup system -- it no doubt does include all of the windows and driver files -- just my guess, of course.
Thank you, Janice, for your reply. Does Mark from Lenovo ever reply? There are many posts where he could have cleared up the confusion.
So my 320 GB drive has a 253GB C partition + a 30.25GB D partition + a 14.75GB unnamed partiton + (maybe) a 200MB unnamed partition. That totals just under 300GB. I don't understand where the other 20GB is (are). Can anybody explain that?
The OKR 7.0 System Backup to the D partition copied 14.9GB of drivers but nothing that looks like Win 7. So I think an OKR 7.0 Restore To Factory Default from D would restore the motherboard and Lenova drivers but not Win 7. And there were no CDs included with the Y550, much less Win 7 CDs. Shouldn't the Win 7 CDs have been included by Lenovo? (Again, maybe Mark or someone from Lenovo can clear up the confusion.)
The OKR 7.0 burn of a Factory Default Recovery Disc created two 4.7GB DVDs containing \Boot, \EFI, \Servicing and \sources folders and files, plus backup.001 thru backup.069 files.
The OKR 7.0 burn of my 1-15-09 System Recovery Disc created five 4.7GB DVDs containing the same \Boot, \EFI, \Servicing and \sources folders and files, plus backup.001 thru backup.181 files. Given the similarity to the Factory Default Recovery Disc, my guess is it includes my entire C partition, including Win 7 and all my personal software apps and data on C.
So it appears that if Win 7 crashes, I can restore it from the 1-15-09 System Recovery Disc. If the drive fails and needs to be replaced, I'm not sure if I can restore the C partition from the recovery disc set. Can anybody confirm or dispute this? The documentation is extremely unclear.
Given this uncertainty and the need to back up and protect our investments (I bought my wife the exact same IdeaPad Y550), today I bought a 1 terabyte Western Digital external HDD for $110. Over the next several days I'll learn how to use it. And, I'll attempt to contact Lenovo for a set of Win 7 CDs. Has anybody had any experience doing this? Is there a cost? Again, one would think the CDs would have been included with our Y550 purchases.

Welcome to the forum!While there are a few Lenovo employees in here helping out on a volunteer basis, this is not an official support channel with dedicated Lenovo support personnel assigned to it. Instead, this is designed to be a user-to-user support and discussion forum. You may or may not get an answer directly from one of the Lenovo employees as there are way more of us than them and all of them, even Mark, have full-time jobs doing other things.

I found a couple of packs of playing cards at the thrift store about a month and a half before Halloween. I decided to go for a queen of hearts theme. I found about 20-30 more decks of playing cards at the Dollar store and picked out all of the heart cards. Then I carefully sewed them to the skirt of a dress fanning out slowly. This process took forever!!! I sewed it all by hand.
Then I created the vest using check board fabric and more heart playing cards, and some heart buttons that I painted red. I then wore ripped up tights and some high argyle socks. I painted a huge red heart over my eye, and teased up my already hot pink hair. I was kind of a punky queen of hearts.
Because of the low quality of the cards I used from the Dollar store, this dress got pretty thrashed really quickly. It got wet and started to tear, and it caught and ripped on everything. It was a success but next time, I might spend more money to make it more durable.

A good "official" description of interactive writing can be found on Benjamin Mako's website: "1. two or more people jointly composing the complete text of a document;2. two or more people contributing components to a document;3. one or more person modifying, by editing and/or reviewing, the document of one or more persons; and4. one person working interactively with one or more person and drafting a document based on the ideas of the person or persons. ([Farkas1991] p. 14) " To put it simply, interactive writing is when more than one person (sometimes as many as 10 or more!) assists in one way or another with the creative writing process. This does not include a single author's work being edited afterwards, a different author taking a single author's work and writing a sequel or parody, or any other various other cooperation involving a single author's work. These all have the same thing in common: they involve a SINGLE AUTHOR'S work. A piece generated by interactive writing is developed by MULTIPLE AUTHORS, fiction or otherwise. What are some things each of you have done that could be considered interactive writing?-credit to Brilyana Delkiir-

Staying connected in the golf swing
Keeping your arms connected to the body is quite important especially on the backswing, if the arms become disconnected from the body it will quite often mean that your golf swing is too steep making you come over the top or vice versa it may make you drop the club in violently from the inside causing top shots or big hooks.
Keeping the arms connected to the body
A nice simple drill for keeping the right arm connected to the body in the golf swing is to place a head cover in between your right tricep and the right side of your upper rib cage. Then as you swing back your task is to keep the head cover in that same place. If your right arm becomes disconnected from the body it will cause the head cover to fall on the ground so it will be obvious if you've done it wrong. This is a very simple drill to really help you get the club back onto the correct swing plane.

Understanding Different Types of BBQ Smokers
If you're searching for a quality barbecue, you're probably willing to try your hand at smoking. Pulled pork, slow and low ribs, brisket or chicken, there's simply nothing better than a tasty piece of meat that has been flavored and tenderized by a quality BBQ smoker.
But what if you don't know a lot about these things? Today's market offers a lot of different types of these handy devices - you just have to choose one that suits your needs the best. We've decided to break down the numerous types of smokers and get you started in the game.
Vertical Water Smokers
The vertical water smokers are among the most popular on the market - they're quite inexpensive.
A smoker of this type can be broken down into three distinct compartments. The first one is the heat source (usually the charcoal) which is at the bottom. Above it is the water pan which provides a humid cooking environment, preventing the meat from drying out. And above this compartment, you guessed it, is the smoking chamber.
One of the best things about the vertical water smokers is that they're small and usually don't take up too much space. They don't require a lot of fuel, and, due to their low price, are a perfect choice for those with smaller budgets. They're also very easy to operate - one only has to make a fire and fill the included water pan.
Kamado Grills
The history behind these BBQ smokers is pretty interesting. After the end of the Second World War, the U.S. Army stayed in Japan as the occupational force, and its members had to adapt to the Japanese cooking customs and equipment. To make barbecue, they had to convert the rice cookers into something that's today known as the Kamado cooker.
The best thing about these types of smokers is that they're capable of hitting very high temperatures, which makes them perfect for grilling. They are also very durable and can look quite attractive.
On the other hand, the Kamado grills are very expensive and don't provide the user with a lot of space to make barbecue. But still, they're a worthy investment in our opinion.
Pellet Grills
Most pellet grills can work as both the grills and smokers, just like the Kamado ones. Since they burn wood pellets, they are capable of producing a lot of smoke and are a very good choice for smoking. They are also very easy to operate thanks to the computer controls that come with most models.
The downside is that they feature a lot of moving parts, which can lead to motor failure and jams over the time. That's why it's of crucial importance to choose a model with a good warranty.
Horizontal Offset Smokers
These BBQ smokers typically come with two distinct compartments. They have long grated metal boxes that serve as the cooking chambers, as well as the fireboxes that are attached to these chambers and which have adjustable vents and side-access doors. The smoke and the heat that's created in the firebox gets into the chamber via the tiny hole and then goes over the smokestack.
Unfortunately, the best way to know if a particular offset smoker is actually useful is to fire it up, which usually can't be done before the final purchase. Many of the cheaper models have to be modified to work correctly, which led some people to entirely dismiss these types of smokers. That's a shame, since the offset smokers are, actually, among the best ones on the market!
Smoker Ovens
As the name suggests, these look very much like the indoor appliances of the same name, although they have to be used outdoors. Most models have temperature probes and computer controls, which makes them quite convenient for the owners of restaurants.
A smoker oven has a box that's heavily insulated and that features an electric heating element in its bottom, above which is the funneled piece of metal whose job is to remove the direct radiant heat. The user places the meat onto the included racks and then uses the computer controls to set the desired temperature.
The electric smokers are a perfect choice for the individuals who love smoked meat but don't want to put too much work into it - in this case, that's the job for the technology.
Drum Smokers
The drum smokers have become quite popular in the last few decades since they're very simple to use and can even be made at home. They are also lightweight and thus very portable.
It's a very basic type of a smoker - there's just the steel drum with a cooking rack on its top and a firebox in its bottom. The lid and the base have vents that allow one to adjust the temperature, and there are no smoke leaks due to the tight seal of the whole thing.
It's an excellent choice for cooking chicken, although cooking pork roasts and briskets can be a bit more challenging on it. Once the internal temperature hits 74C (165F), one should wrap the larger cuts of meat in foil to prevent drying out.
Box Smokers
Also known as the block or cabinet smokers, these devices are basically boxes that combine cooking chambers and heat sources. The heat source is, typically, directly below the chamber, which means that the heat is conserved.
The bad box smokers are those that don't have enough insulation, sport a poorly fitting door and have thin metal as the primary construction material. Typically electric or gas, these box smokers are no more than burners in metal boxes that you can put your meat on. Light rain or a little breeze can cause them to lose heat.
Good ones cost more and are capable of producing excellent barbecue in large amounts. They offer a controllable environment and can also be used in restaurants and at competitions.
Those were the most common types of barbecue smokers. We hope we've been helpful - choose one that suits your needs the best and enjoy the tasty meals!

Don't leave your home fragrance in the house, it makes a great car companion!
Some car air fresheners lose their scent after a matter of weeks, offering a quick burst of fragrance on the day of purchase before rapidly fading to nothing. It's time to get scent savvy. Your car picks up bad odours just as easily as the home – muddy shoes, mucky dogs and murky weather all see to that!
Our Scented Sachets from The Scented Home® have many uses, and that handy ribbon looped though them means that they can be hung just about anywhere. The daily commute to and from work and extended periods of time spent in your car can make it feel like a home away from home, so make sure you're always surrounded by fresh and sumptuous scents. With a lifespan of up to two months, Scented Sachets can offer your car a bit of TLC, reminding you of home when you're on the road.
Available in packs of 3 for £5, divide your Scented Sachets between the car and your home, or keep them all exclusively for travelling! Unlike typical car air fresheners, our Scented Sachets can be topped up if their scent begins to fade or you become too used to their fragrance – simply give your sachet a boost with a quick spritz of a Home Spray. Their sleek, cylindrical design makes our Home Sprays from The Scented Home® compact enough to stow away in the glove compartment, ready for you to refresh your Scented Sachet or spray directly into the air within your car.
At Ashleigh & Burwood we're passionate about home fragrance and believe that you deserve to be surrounded by quality scents wherever you may be!

Upon the completion of project, our Amplifiers were asked to produce a piece of 300-word writing, in either Chinese or English, to document, reflect on their 3-week Brave Kids journey. In each of these pieces, all our Amplifiers adopt an object which has inspired them during their Brave Kids encounter.
就在3個禮拜的波蘭之旅完結之際,我們的團員和學員都利用他們擅長的語言寫一篇300字的感想,紀錄他們在波蘭的一點一滴。在這幾篇的感想當中,每一位團員都利用了一樣物品,來代表他們在Brave Kids 的過程。
"Czesc!" – Kitty Or Pui Chi
'Cześć! How are you?' This is how we greeted each other every time with a big warm hug whenever we met.
'Cześć' carries two meanings in Polish – 'Hello' and 'Bye'. It's the first Polish I learnt whilst also my favourite one. The first time I came across 'Cześć' was at Walbrzych train station, when all the volunteers and our host families came and picked us up. They even made a big banner with balloons to welcome us – such a warm 'Cześć'! This 'Cześć' also marks the start of our chapter in Walbrzych.
Every moment is still fresh in my mind. The first 'Cześć' with the Buryat girls and Lakhan, a Brave Youth participant from India, in the school performance, the first 'Cześć' with the Moroccan Brave Kid at the bus station, the first 'Cześć' with the Polish Brave Kid as well as Piotr and Sonia in the workshop… everything started with a 'Cześć'. We started began having fun with each others, dance and sing together. Every moment was filled with happiness. No one in the program can be replaced because we are 'BRAVE BRAVE kids'. We cherished every chance of performance, especially the mixed shows. It's a symbolism of unity too! Different cultures were merged together. I guess this wouldn't have happened without Piotr and Sonia, who were our artistic instructors.
Time slipped and we finally came to our last day. We had to say 'Cześć' again on the same platform but this time it means 'bye'. We hugged together and said 'Cześć' with sadness. Every 'Cześć' was full of our memories and my tears started to well up. "Choo-choo!" the train arrived and we knew that we needed to leave this lovely place. We just continued saying Cześć while we were entering the train. We kept waving our hands through the small window to make the last 'Cześć' of this trip.
But we know, it would not be the last 'Cześć' of our friendship. It is a commencement of our long-lasting friendship full of 'Cześć', yet to be realised.

Nutie Donuts has opened up a new location in the Hunter Connection mall and I pass by every morning and gaze longingly at their donuts. This particular part of the mall is also filled with the smells of bacon and eggs so it's really hard to walk by and not buy something. All their donuts are gluten free, dairy free and/or vegan! In addition, they also sell a variety of other treats such as vegan cheesecake, brownies and cookies. They have also started serving a few lunch items like hot soup.
Nutie Donuts have flavours like the Couch Potato which is a chocolate donut with chocolate covered potato chips on top and Rocky Road which has marshmallows on top. Other flavours include peanut butter brownie, cookie monster and cookies and cream. Continue reading →

With thousands of apps available, getting things done has never been easier.
In fact, they make lives more convenient, smoother.
And when it comes to internet marketing, apps make it easier for you to manage your blog or online business.
How is that, you ask?
Here are some useful apps you can use for your disposal.
If you have trouble remembering people you've met, Humin is the app for you. It reminds you how, where and when you met someone so you don't have to stress yourself remembering the pesky details.
This app is especially useful when you're dealing with clients.
An online notebook for just about everything, Evernote is an all-in-one app that stores photos, web pages, notes, PDF files, audio clips, and to-do lists.
What's more, it has an indexing feature that allows you to access your files wherever you are.
It's a very handy tool so you won't have to bring your laptop whenever you leave your house.
Want an organizer for your thoughts? Then Vesper is right up your alley.
You can use this handy tool for blogging. Or when you want to check old ideas for new blog posts.
By using keywords for each entry, you can easily reorganize your thoughts and old ideas with a simple hold-and-drag motion. How convenient is that?
Who would forget the importance of e-mail access? Gmail is the most popular e-mail service around and everyone has an account for it.
So if you want to send e-mails to your clients or fellow bloggers, make sure to create an account (if you don't already have one) and download the app into your smartphone.
You probably want to take numerous files with you but don't want the hassle of bringing physical files.
Dropbox serves as a virtual folder that you can access wherever you are, just as long as you have internet connection. That alone is enough reason for you to get the app.
When it comes to to-do list, Clear is the app for you. With the app, creating a to-do list is as easy as typing, dragging, and re-ordering your list.
The best thing about Clear? It syncs over to your iCloud.
Of course, there are hundred more apps you can use to get things done and boost your productivity. All you have to do is search for them.
But surely, you don't want to get overwhelmed with numerous apps in your smartphone. So make sure that you only get the important ones.

Dear Kay,
It was one of those things where I was just cranking along on a sleeve, and I suddenly realized: I'm done. That's it! I've got a new sweater!
For anyone contemplating making the Liberty Tree Pullover from MDK Field Guide No. 9: Revolution, all I can say is: this is one fine knit.
My Modifications
Pattern: Liberty Tree Pullover from MDK Field Guide No. 9: Revolution. I swapped out the Liberty Tree cable chart for the Elaine's Capelet cable chart. This swap worked perfectly, given that Norah Gaughan was way ahead of us on all this cable chart business and made these charts so very interchangeable.
Yarn: Periwinkle Sheep Merino DK, in Olive, one of the nine shades that Karin Maag-Tanchak cooked up for the MDK Shop. I am proud to be the owner of a sweater that gives me perfect camouflage when walking in our recently mossified yard. A foot of rain in a month means the moss now has moss on it.
Sleeves: I went with long sleeves. I'm a big scootcher of sleeves, so it's good to have sleeves to scootch.
Length: I went with 11″ body (bottom of sleeve hole down) before beginning the 3″ ribbing. Very pleased with making this shorter than the pattern specs, which called for 14″ before ribbing. It also meant that Banging Out went a good 3″ faster! #winning
Needles: I used Magic Loop to knit the sleeves. (See my recent post about why this changed my life and [read in breathless voice] how it can change yours too.)
The collar: I was originally going to do the rolled edging that is used on the Elaine's Capelet pattern. But in real life, I found I wanted no more bulk or knitting any farther up my neckular area. So I used Amy Christoffers's brilliant edging from her Shakerag Top: pick up and knit stitches along the collar. Next round: bind off all stitches. You can see action shots of this maneuver here.
This gave me a tidy finish, and let the sculptural cables create a wavy edge. Minimal and pleasing unto me.
Duration of Banging Out: February 1 start. Off the blocking board February 21 and onto me! Pro tip: it helps to have a six-hour delay at the Newark airport, in case you're looking for ways to maximize your Bang Out time. I will forevermore associate the body of this sweater with the Newark airport, which is the nicest thing I've ever thought about the Newark airport.
Friends, knitters, this is a sweater I have already been wearing around all over town. Thank you, Norah, for a pattern that is a joy to make.

Want to sell more of your products or services?
Start by showing your customers how you'll make their lives easier, better and richer!
Get copywriting that sells more.
Don't let your customers click off.
Compelling copywriting makes the difference between a customer who clicks "Buy" and one who clicks off and moves on.
You could have the greatest, most life-changing product in the world. Or the most needed service at the best price imaginable. You might have your targeting nailed down flush. And your sales funnel may be as smooth as silk and effortless as sleeping in on Sunday morning. But use the wrong words and all that blood, sweat and toil you've put into bringing your business to market will be thrown to an endless universe of failed dreams.
My name is Brian Fleming. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen. I translate the value your product or service offers into a vivid, compelling image. Then I implant that image in the minds of your customers in a way that makes them ready to click "Buy".
"Brian is a true star! He was able to zone in on the most important ideas in my head."
"It was like I did 80% of the work to express only 20% of the idea, while he did the remaining 20% of the work to add the other 80% of the idea and realize its full potential!"
– Fredrik Lyhagen
CEO & Founder, Mindcore Academy
Result-oriented copywriting.
What you say matters. How you say matters even more. What you want to achieve by what you say, that matters the most.
Why should people buy your product or service? One reason: because it fulfills a desire they have and adds value to their lives – whether they know it or not. But translating that into words that spark an emotion isn't easy.
I create irresistible value propositions that show people exactly why your product or service matters to them. That way they don't go rushing from your landing page in the first five seconds in search of something more exciting.
Show people how you'll make their lives better.
Get eye-to-eye with your customers.
Most companies make the same mistake. And there's a good chance your business is making it too. They talk about themselves – about their great achievements, their awesome ideas, their detailed product features, their faultless service. All good selling points, but not the reason customers click "Buy".
What you should be talking about is the customer. About their hopes and desires and the challenges and obstacles their facing. About how your product or service will help them meet those challenges and overcome those obstacles. And how it will improve their life or business.
Start talking that way and your customers will start clicking "Buy".
Start selling more of your products or services.
A customer has a problem that needs solving. Your product or service solves that problem. It's a match made in business heaven. But only if you meet someplace where the two of you can get to know each other.
Effective copywriting makes sure you not only meet, but get a chance to look deep into each other's eyes and talk comfortably, honestly and effortlessly.
Whether you need brand spankin' new copy, rewrites of weak or ineffective copy or alternate copy for A/B testing, I'll make your customer feel so comfortable that clicking "Buy" will be as easy as a Hollywood kiss.
Bad copywriting could be killing your sales potential.
You may not know it, but what you're saying and how you're saying it could be turning customers off like a bad date.
I'll make sure you say all the right things to close the deal.
"Brian has an intuitive sense of how to connect with customers."
"He and his team helped us on a number of projects, including our extremely successful X-mas video and our website. He shaped our whole website story and content flow, advised on the structure of the user experience and delivered everything in an extremely short time."
– Hynek Bartik
Group Marketing Manager, P3 Logistics
What you get when you hire me.
I follow a straight-forward process that works. And I like to work with people who are straight-forward.
Review, Questionnaire & Consultation
I start by having a look at your website to identify problem points. I like to do this before I know anything about your business, so I see it with a fresh eye the way the customer does.
Sometimes it's just a matter of writing powerful headlines. Other times entire pieces of text need to be rewritten. And sometimes your page needs to be completely restructured. But whatever needs to be done, it needs to match your goals and strategy.
To understand those, I'll send you a questionnaire about your business, your goals, what you've tried in the past, your target audience, your competition, your positioning. Those things. If you don't have a strategy, no worries, I can help with that too.
After that, we'll hop on a call for a more in-depth conversation about how I can help you connect with your audience and reach your goals .
Unique Value Proposition & Core Offer
Every landing page or website has to have an offer, otherwise there's no point. And every offer starts with a unique value proposition that addresses the following five questions in a compelling, attention-getting way:
What problem do you solve?
For whom do you solve it?
How do you solve it?
What are the expected results?
What are the benefits of those results?
Not to toot my own horn too much here, but my clients have told me that the single greatest value I provide them is being able to see into their minds and concisely structure and articulate their thoughts in a way they couldn't find the words for.
My next greatest value is turning those thoughts into compelling headlines and copy.
Content Structure &
User Experience
Once we have your value proposition and core offer down, I'll start structuring your content in a way that's clear, concise and logical.
I can't say this enough, structure is the basis of all powerful communication. Without it, you'll sink like the Titanic. If you doubt me, try watching a movie in random clips and see how satisfying it is.
So, yeah, I'm obsessed with structure, and it could be I tell you to restructure your entire site. You won't like to hear it, nobody does, but I'm here to help you sell, and if that's what it takes, then that what it takes.
First Draft & Revisions
Once we have the structure in place, I write the copy to fit it. That will take about two weeks for smaller projects. A month or two for larger projects.
I'll be honest, most of my first drafts hit the mark or close to it the first time around, after which it's just a matter of tweaking. But not always. That's why I offer unlimited revisions for a period of up to one month after I submit the first draft – as long you don't make any major changes in the direction of the copy.
Another thing I have to be honest about is my belief in what I do and how it will serve your business best. You're not hiring me to do as I'm told; you're hiring me because of my expertise. That means we may not always immediately agree on everything and may even find ourselves on opposite sides of major choices.
Don't worry, those situations usually end up in us reaching a happy consensus where we're both proud of and excited by the end result
Having trouble getting customers to click "Buy"?
Have you done everything right but you just can't seem to get buyers? Guess what? You need compelling copy.
"Brian's strengths are his big strategic and creative ideas, his holistic perspective and his customer-centric thinking."
"He's got a keen stylistic sense and an unfailing ability to cut to the meat of the matter. He and his team built my brand from scratch and laid out an actionable marketing strategy."
– Dave Smith
CEO & Founder, Present With Power

I'll get back to you within two business days. It may well be the best marketing decision you'll make this year.
