I was using Intel Matrix Storage Console to manage a RAID 5 volume on my "ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/PCH SATA RAID Controller" (at least that's how it reads in Device Manager), and I was running a RAID 5 volume without issue until I experienced a drive failure a couple weeks ago. All three drives are Seagate, and I warranteed the failed drive. After an extended wait I finally have the refurbished drive back from Seagate. I put the drive back into my machine, wired it up as normal, and now the Intel controller utility (when I first start the machine, following a successful POST) shows 2 member drives, and one non-raid member drive. I entered the utility, and it doesn't give me an option to rebuild the array, only to delete it, which would DELETE the volume AND it's data, which, in my mind, defeats the purpose of RAID 5 altogether.
Now, we come to the point of the issue. The definition in Intel Storage Matrix Console's help for a "failed" array is as follows: "A RAID 5 volume is reported as 'Failed' when more than one member has failed. If this occurs, please follow the procedure shown below. This procedure deletes the failed RAID 5 volume and creates a new RAID 5 volume; it does not recover the failed RAID 5 volume and its data. After the new RAID 5 volume has been created, you must restore the data from backups and install any software that was on the RAID 5 volume."
While I understand the definition, only 1 of my 3 member drives have failed, and honestly, I cannot reasonably afford to lose the data on my array. Intel Storage Matrix Console's help also gives this procedure to recover a degraded array: "In the device pane, right-click on the new non-RAID hard drive and select 'Rebuild to this Hard Drive'." I have no such option. All I have is "Mark as Spare", and "Activate Port LED", since the utility has flagged this as a "FAILED" array.
I've attached a screenshot of exactly how my utility appears, and my System Report exported from Intel Matrix Storage Console follows. I really need to find a way to recover my data, please help me!!!
Did you ever figure this issue out? I have a RAID 5 with 3 of the 4 drives showing OK, but the volume is marked as failed and I can't access it. When Windows detects it, it shows up as an uninitialized disk and I'm sure if I initilize it, I will lose all of my data.
Hey Intel - Any news on this Issue - we have exactly same sittuation.
Please Help!!
can't fnd any another posts about this matter.
I've yet to hear anything on this issue, and am still sitting on the drives, hoping, eventually, that I will be able to retrieve my data.
This really isn't a fix to whats going on with the Intel Matrix software, but here is how I was able to recover the data on my failed RAID 5 array. I had just about given up and was getting ready to wipe the drives when I decided to look at a data recovery app I had purchased some time ago for an accidentally formatted drive. This software (Zero Assumption Recovery) has the ability to also recover data from failed RAID arrays (both RAID 0 and RAID 5). In order to use it, I first had to take the remaining original 3 drives of the array and delete the RAID array that was setup (I did this through the boot time interface as some people have suggested it won't affect the data on the drives). Once you boot back into Windows and start up the ZAR software, it will be able to see the 3 drives that made up the array and after quite a few hours, it will have scanned and should have recovered your data. The trial lets you run the full scan, but only gives you the ability to restore 4 items or folders (can't remember). The software didn't fully reconstruct the folder path that I had on the drive before, but I was able to find all of my files that weren't in the orginial folder as well. Since my array was 3TB, I had used GPT instead of MBR and I'm not sure if this caused the folder structure to not be fully recognized. To avoid this issue in the future, I have built a new server with a dedicated RAID controller (LSI MegaRAID SAS 6260-4i) and 4 2TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration. On my system with the Intel Matrix RAID controller, I switched from a RAID 5 configuration to a RAID 10. I went from 3TB to 2TB in storage, but it should be a bit faster and more reliable since no calcuations are needed for the bit parity. Hopefully this method will work for you guys as well so you can recover any of the data you have lost.

Thanks very much for reply!
Intel is useless - i did as you told - everithing restored! only difference i have user Diskinternals raid restoration software : http://www.diskinternals.com/raid-recovery/
Looks like intel's raid onboard implementation is crap and should be avoided.. I have never had any issues like this with proper RAID setups (Adaptec etc.)
Had a similar problem last month and also a couple of days ago on an ICH8R chipset. Believe the "failed" situation was caused by an intermittent problem with a cd burner while trying to burn a CD, but below is the procedure I used to make the array clean again without recovery software...
When system boots, hit ctl-I to enter the bios utility. A warning screen will pop up at the top of the screen. Don't remember the exact verbage on this screen, but it says in effect that the array failed, do you want to fix it... Answer yes and the array status will change from failed to degraded. (You may have tophysically unplug power for 30 secs or so first to get the controller to totally reset - don't have enough permutations of the problem to be sure of this...)
Boot the system, open the Matrix Storage Manager, right click on the drive with the red x, and select "mark as normal"
Wait for raid to rebuild.
I believe the problem in my situation was caused by a flaky or dying DVD Burner. Historically, I have found that hard errors on a CD or DVD burner will really hang the OS (at least XP) at a very low level in the OS to the point it won't respond to ctl-alt-del and the only solution is red button reset or power. I'm thinking that this low level hang is messing with the low level OS driver software that controls the ICH chipset and the delay is making it think a drive or array went offline and "failed". I replaced the DVD burner two days ago, and will probably take 6-8 weeks to be pretty sure the problem is solved.
While your situation might not be caused by the same thing, I believe that any low-level software driver hang in the OS could produce a failed array and this is probably a pitfall of having an OS software driven RAID controller. Would be nice if Intel would confirm this as a possible limitation...
Well, I have many problems with different motherboards with the chipset ICH8R when using RAID 1, 5 and 10!
Always get various disk errors and all disks were OK when testing after removed from array. On a PC with 2xHDD and RAID1, I changed 5 times the disks!
With another PC, with RAID10 and 4 disks, I can't remembers how many disks I changed too. Very strange when I have the disk1 fail and after a while (some reboots) the disk is OK and the 4th disk fails. After some time all disks are OK, but when restarting, all disks appears offline!
Too much errors to be true!
It is URGENT to get a solution; we paid for something that is not working!
I'm not sure if this is going to help, but I give it a go:
I had similar problems with RAID1. Drive 2 failed regularly. This happened both with Seagate Barracuda ST3xxxxxxAS drives as with Fujitsu 2.5 MHW20xxBK drives.
In all cases I found only one drive being really bad (thermal tripped). The other cases the drives all were found okay.
After reformatting I could use the drives again.
Repairing failed drives: use the Seatools to do a destrictive test and format (Seagate drives) or use the apprpriate tools from other manufacturers, eventually format the drive again if the tool doesn't have an option to format the drive.
Read the logs (applications and system) to find out about possible causes.
I found many references to HP CUE service having caused problems as Windows Search also did.
Error reports also both disk and ftdisk having failed (after an error on drive 0 in iastor0).
Peculiarly: the logs show the culprit not being the second drive, but the first drive to momentarily go wrong causing the other drive to fail!!!
After disabling both Windows Search and HP CUE serivice these errors didn't show up again.
In all cases I also disabled the write back cache on all drives in the Storage Manager (one of the first ations I took, but it didn't solve the problem until I disabled HP CUE service and Windows Search).
Note: HP CUE service is part of a software bundle with various HP printers. The CUE service is used for detecting new devices, which is not a necessity.
The program (digital monitor in the system task bar) is a notorious one and on the HP forum well known for its bad manners (both HP not doing a thing about it and the program itself).
Disabling the Search program may not have been necessary, though the result seems to show this program also have its bad habits. The Search companion this works after disbling, but the new Search program can't be used (no big deal I presume).
Hopefully this will help everyone meeting problems to overcome them.
WelmoedJ, thank you for your reply.
I used different disks too, Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, Samsung... and one of them was a Western Digital Enterprise, supposed to do not break easly, but even that was not successful.
Then, the problem IS NOT the disks, definitely!
I do not use HP CUE. I also have the write back cache in all drives disabled in the Storage Manager (never been enabled). The search was enable but I'll try to disable it next time, even if I do not see how could it interfere on the problem and I want to use all the system. Search is an important issue.
After reading many opinions around, I think there is a problem in that chip, some bug killing the communication...
Today I removed the RAID10 and installed Windows in a single disk. The other 3 disks are out of the array too (but in use) and lets see if they fail... but the security is OFF and is is not that the purpose!
Intel instructs us after a RAID 5 drive failure to add the replacement drive as a hot spare in the boot-time RAID Option ROM (CTRL i) utility and once Windows has booted, the array will automatically be rebuilt. My problem though is that when I replaced my drive and booted my server, the 4 drive RAID 5 array's status was "FAILED" and showed 2 member drives missing, although just one drive failed and both were listed (the replacement drive and the other array member reported as missing) as available to be added as spares.
This behavior is documented in the Rapid Storage Technology 10.8.0.1003 release notes found here: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/20624/eng/iata_10.8.0.1003_ReleaseNotes.htm
Apparently, that release resolves defects 3234763 and 3235920 and directs those looking for more details to the following documents: IBP #487724 "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology: RAID 5 Volume Data Loss Exposure" and IBP #487730 "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology: 4TB Disk Data Loss Exposure". I have looked everywhere for the location or any other citing without success. Supposedly, the RST 10.5 and 10.6 updates introduced this bug (they've since been removed from the site) and I was running 10.5 after upgrading from Matrix Storage 8.9 when my failure occurred.
I know this is an old thread but wanted to share my experience if it can help someone. It's a desperate situation to be in but I was able to get everything back and the OS up and running again from a failed hard drive and a raid status Failed.
Details: ICH9R Intel RAID 5. Status: Failed Bootable: No
The RAID array was my boot drive. My situation was I had a hard drive go bad. I had rebooted several times before I realized it and that probably messed up the raid giving the Failed status. Rebooted several times and would not read the crashed drive. I tried many combination of things but I didn't want to delete the array to try to reconstruct the files via a 3rd party recovery tool until all other options had failed. Luckily I didn't. Here's what worked for me.
I added a new drive to the pc (different controller than the RAID...not sure that matters) and installed a new OS (Windows 7) to boot from. I also installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) on the new drive. Of the many blogs I read, one person mentioned he put his failed hard drive in a zip-lock bag and then in the freezer over-night. Note, when you go to this step, you truly have exhausted all other options. The next morning I plugged in my freezing-cold disk to my raid controller ( I also had my new separate replacement hard drive plugged into the raid controller). Rebooted and low and behold, it was able to temporarily read the frozen drive (or at least recognize the drive as dead) and my status on reboot went to Degraded. From there, once the OS started up, I was able to add my new replacement disk to the array and the raid is back to a normal status (took about 6 hours to rebuild for me).
I did have some issues with my mbr but resolved those and am recovered from a Status: FAILED. I haven't come across many of these stories.
I can honestly say that freezing the bad disk was the key to getting my system back up and running. Just saying it's worth a shot if your in this situation.
Good Luck.

Neighborhoods: Shockoe Slip
Not the best place for food. I ordered the Fish and Chips it was horrible! All batter... oily and there was so much batter and no fish to speak of. Told the waiter that it was terrible and he agreed that it was bad. He went and talked to manager, I'm guessing, he came back and said that he could give me a free piece of pie. Really??!! No manager ever came to apologize or check on us. Very poor customer service if you have an issue. Don't order the fish!!! Not that I was looking for a free dinner... just upset that it was handled so poorly. It's like who cares... WE GOT YOUR MONEY!!
Irish Nachos!!!! I have lived all over the country and I cannot find a place that compares!
Sine Irish Pub - Richmond, VA – On a recent visit to Richmond a relative took us here for dinner. We had the Macaroni and cheese -- it was the best I have ever eaten. We will want to go the same place the next time we are in town. The Reuben was good but the Macaroni was awesome.
The beer list offers a good selection. Remember, you go to a PUB for beer and a sandwich!
To some who complained about the menu not being Irish enough, keep this in mind. Armerican's are not known for their diverse palate. Restaurants must prepare and serve a menu that makes enough profit to stay opened. Don't miss this place because of the nay-sayers -- you will want to eat there again.
It's yummy! – Very Irish!!! Great food and good music. The people are great too! Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally recommend!
Not the greatest around.... – Went here one night with a group of friends for some drinks and a good time. They didn't offer most of the drinks you would find at a normal bar (um we dont have that...) and when I did manage to order something they could make (a maragrita) the glass was about 3in tall and 3in wide...it was about 3 sips worth...and cost me around $8! The menu is small and doesnt offer a lot of options and it is kind of pricey for what they offer. It was extremely crowded and parking is a pain in the rear...
Great place to go and have a drink and sandwich! – We just moved to Richmond 3 months ago and have savaged the resturant arena! We love Sine! We ate there the first night we moved here and have been going back about every two weeks since! The hamburgers are just plain awesome, the staff is always very friendly, great outdoor seating and a nice open bar area. Overall pretty nice place to hang out, have a drink or take your parents for fish and chips! Which by the way are to die for! :)
Good Food. Poor service. – We were the only ones in the restaurant and we waited almost 20min for them to come by and take our order. Communication problem? I'm not really sure what happened. Everyone's got a fake smile on though. The food was good, but was it really worth it? Not sure.
Cool Place – Love this place! Love the beer, atmospher, location, and live music. The price is not bad at all, food is pretty good too! One of my favorite places to go!
Nice Resturant – First thing you'll notice is that its more of a resturant then pub. However, it has a nice atmosphere, good beer selection, and good live music. The food is ok, and consists more of standard American fare than traditional Irish, but still is not bad. A fine place to visit and grab a pint, but on the pricey side.
Great Irish restaurant – I have been to Sine's for both lunch and dinner and have found the food, service and atmosphere very enjoyable. For those who think this isn't an Irish pub and the food not Irish do not know what they are talking about. The Church Hill Chicken, Corned Beef and Cabbage (Irish), Shepard's Pie (again Irish) and Fish and Chips are delicious. The Irish antiques and furnishings are beautiful and unique.

10% Off Data Recovery Services When You Mention "CITYSEARCH"
The backup in place in my company is done with tapes that I have had for many years. My machine was eating the tape destroying it and was having a major malfunction. I brought the machine with the tape stuck in it to Secure Data Recovery Services to hopefully fix and do a tape data recovery. They located 97% of my information. In a minimal amount of time they repaired the tape, machine and also advised me on better systems that aren't outrageously priced. I am a small business owner and they understand the importance of business and cash flow. Their expert technicians and specialty tools did an amazing job. I wanted to thank you again for a job well done and thank you for the recommendations for a higher quality backup system which I will be investing in shortly.
Positive experience
The Oracle database we use became infected and was not functioning as it normally did. We opted to use the emergency services. Secure Data Recovery Services offered for the quickest response and turnaround time. In a mere one and a half hours, they did a Database Data Recovery and fixed the errors. I am extremely grateful your services exist. Thank you
My digital media card got jammed into my camera and I broke it in half when I tried to get it out. I took the camera and the other half of the media card to Secure Data Recovery Services and prayed for a miracle. They did a USB & digital media recovery and located 100% of my photos for me! Thank you so much! I had over 1,500 pictures of my grandchildren on the media card and would have been heartbroken if I lost them. Secure Data Recovery Services also put them on a DVD for me! This company goes above and beyond the call of duty and treats their customers like royalty! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! AAA+++ service!
Outstanding tape data recovery – This letter of appreciation is for the outstanding tape data recovery Secure Data Recovery Services executed. One of my employees damaged the machine when the tape became jammed inside. The tape was split and the machine was no longer working. Secure Data Recovery Services fixed both the machine and tape recovering our critical data. I do not know what I would have done without them. It's nice to know that in this world we live in today there are still ethical, helpful and professional people who do not charge up the kazoo for their services. Thank you
USB & Digital Media recovery is not an easy thing to look up in a phonebook. Finally I located Secure Data Recovery Services and asked them if they did that. They said yes. I explained how my smart media card was not working in my laptop or my camera and they said they would take a look at it. After just a couple of hours it was fixed. It somehow became corrupted from a virus I had in my computer. Secure Data Recovery Services recovered everything and now it works like a charm. Boy, these guys are the greatest!
I went to turn on my laptop and nothing. Tried over and over and nothing! I was not a happy camper. I got the phone book and looked up laptop data recovery companies. I chose Secure Data Recovery Services and brought my laptop to them. They told me that I needed a new hard drive and they would be able to put all my information on the old hard drive onto the new one. WOW! What a service and at a great price! Thank goodness for their services!
I work out of my home using a company laptop. All of my presentations, charts, images etc. are kept on my laptop until Friday when I transfer them all to the server at work. On Thursday when I opened my laptop and turned it on, it started smoking and smelled like burning rubber. I shut it down and removed the battery. I brought it to Secure Data Recovery Services and they explained the procedure of performing a laptop data recovery to me and I was hoping for the best results. I used their emergency services and paid a little extra to have it back that day. I was astonished to hear back from them in less than 2 hours and they captured over 98% of my data. What was lost was not of value, the important info was found. It short circuited and they fixed the problem. These guys are at the top of their game!
We were moving to a new location and the movers dropped our RAID 50 on the ground. I learned saving money on movers isn't worth it. I hired Secured Data Recovery Services to repair and do a RAID 50 Data Recovery. I wasn't too sure what was going to be the end result over the next few days. On the third day to came to my new location and set it up. To my amazement it was working well. They repaired the glitches after the fall and I was impressed. Thank for everything.
Secured Data Recovery Services saved the day when they did a laptop data recovery for me after I dropped it down the stairs. I wish to complement their services not only for recovering all my information, but for constantly letting me know what was happeniing with my laptop during the entire process. This was a disastrous situation for me; however Secured Data Recovery Services helped reduce my stress with promising hope. The end result was they fixed my laptop and it is as good as new. I would recommend their services to everyone.
Thanks again, a job well done! – Two years after we purchased a RAID 6 data recovery system, we had an operational failure due to a power surge. My teams of technicians tried the recovery and correct the problem, but no luck. I then stepped in and hired Secured Data Recovery Services in San Antonio to look at the RAID 6 issues. Their experts recovered all the data, replaced a couple of drives and now we are back in business. I was extremely impressed with their services, expertise, knowledge, response time and professionalism. This company is now the company I do business with if anything ever goes wrong again. They are the best of recovery companies. Thanks again, a job well done.

About Us
Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. was founded, and is owned, by Jeannette Kreft-Logsdon. Wyeast is located in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge outside of Hood River, Oregon. Our facility overlooks scenic Mt. Hood, and hosts our laboratory, production and administrative offices. The mountain is our Corporate symbol; reflecting the passion for our work, the purity of our product and the enduring commitment to our Company and customers.
About Our Name
Although a familiar name around Hood River, many people are unaware "Wyeast" is derived from a local Klickitat Indian legend. As legend has it, two fierce Indian Chiefs were locked in battle for the affections of the maiden Loo-wit. The battle became so ferocious the Great Spirit intervened by destroying the Bridge of the Gods (the arch over the Columbia River, connecting the two mountains). The Great Spirit turned Loo-wit into Mt. St Helens, Chief Klickitat into Mt. Adams and Chief Wy'east into Mt. Hood.

Booking hotel rooms via third-party Internet sites, at better rates and outside a group's contracted room block, was—what a surprise—the hot topic at last week's Professional Convention Management Association convention in Anaheim. Many association meeting planners, who two to five years ago contracted large room blocks based on meeting history and a booming economy, are not getting credit for those rooms now that the meetings are taking place (even though most planners say registration is up). That can mean thousands of dollars paid in attrition fees to hotels.
The results of a PCMA housing survey, which were released during the meeting, found that more than 40 percent of the 650 respondents said they were most concerned about attrition penalties, while the issue of attendees booking outside the block was cited by 25 percent as their most significant problem.
Perhaps the best panel on the topic was facilitated by Mary Power, president and CEO of the Convention Industry Council, who insisted on focusing on short-term and long-term solutions. The planners on the panel and in the audience, however, wanted to know what they could be doing NOW to stop the outside-the-block hemorrhage.
Issue: Planners need to get credit for attendees who stay at the contracted hotel but did not book in block. Many hotels' computer systems still are on "legacy" platforms, and unable to do a merge/purge against master lists automatically. Therefore, either the hotel or the association must do a manual audit.
Solutions: Insist on an audit in your contract, and ask the hotel to do a merge and purge of its master guest list against your reg list; or ask for the list (some states' privacy laws prohibit hotels from giving them out) and do it yourself. If you didn't or can't contract for the hotel to do an audit in your initial contract, pay for an audit from the CVB, as one planner holding a meeting in Anaheim this week planned to do. Planners like the idea of hotels changing their 80 percent attrition standard to 70 percent or lower; and finalizing rates two months out rather than up to two years out.
Issue: Hotels have caused the problem by dumping rooms on Travelocity, Expedia, and other discount booking sites, but haven't controlled the pricing. Third-party housing companies, too, are scrambling to get make sure lower rates aren't posted elsewhere and watching those online travel agency sites very closely, insisting on compliance where necessary.
Solutions: Insist on a clause in your contract whereby lower rates can not be offered on the Web. Hotels say they are now doing a better controlling how and where they dump unsold rooms and are trying to drive users to their own sites, which are guaranteed to offer the lowest rate. Use your third-party housing vendor as your "compliance nazis," said Brian Roy, Convention Management Resources. After all, it's the vendor's commission at stake.
Issue: Many planners say they don't care if attendees stay outside the block, or what they're charged, as long as they get credit for and can track those rooms. Other planners care very much what the hotel charges and how the association shows its benefit to members through hotel room discounts.
Solutions: Encourage attendees to stay within the block through a variety of incentives. Or take privileges away from those who go outside the block.
Issue: Planners ARE lowering blocks for meetings from here on out. Therefore, their purchasing power for meeting space at both the convention center and hotel, as well as other concessions from the city and bureau, will be affected.
Solutions: Hotels are taking back control of inventory on their own sites so it's easier to manage, and they're insisting that planners need to educate attendees/members better about the benefits of staying within the block. For large meetings, Christine Shimasaki, CMP, executive vice president of sales and marketing, San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, has proposed a new Attendee Origin Audit, which is a formula based on registration, not peak room pick-up. Both Chicago and Orlando CVBs have also proposed Web-based booking engines for meeting and leisure visitors.

I was considering to buy the ML-L3 for my D5200, appreciating the fact that I shoot at night a lot of times. However, the ML-L3 DOES NOT give you full control of your shutter. It allows you only two dedicated modes for it's very own hardware.
The MC-DC2 is a devil! I understood the gravity of this device more when I started using it. It simply gives you complete control of your shutter-release button 1 m off your camera. It's almost like having your shutter away from the camera - same way of auto-focusing, same pressure required to make the shot. And you get an additional feature/perk with this device - the shutter lock button - now you can use the bulb mode with utmost ease! For a person like me who shoots a lot at night, this feature is extremely helpful for shooting in extremely low light situations.
If you are looking for a remote for your D5100/D5200/D3100/D3200/D7000/D7100, my suggestion will be - go with this product rather than the ML-L3.
After a long wait, I finally managed to get hold of this product on flipkart (courtesy notification facility, once in stock). It was a long anxious wait since there isn't any substitute remote for D3100 camera (unfortunately!).
The product was delivered well with-in stipulated time. However, the packaging wasn't per standard I expected from flipkart, the packaging was in poor condition. I also didn't find the remote in condition one would expect new product to be in. There were small scratch marks on remote, probably due to poor packaging as mentioned above.
The remote is very easy to use and didn't need to spend more than 5 mins. to understand how it works. Tested all the options (burst/ blob/ etc.) and everything seems to be working like charm.
Overall, I'll say I'm reasonably satisfied with the product. Deducting 2 stars only for i) poor packaging and, ii) scratches. Rest no issues. Thank you flipkart.
Item got delivered within 20 hrs of placing the order.
Price was Rs. 794. There was a cash back offer & I think it is the best price.
Works as desired on my Nikon D7100.
This is a basic cable release, works well with Nikon D3000-D7100 + Full frame models. I am not sure on D80/90, check MC-DC1. It connects to HDMI port of the camera body. The products does not have any timer setting. It has a focus/ shutter release button with hold option (to be used in bulb mode). The good thing is you need not change any setting in the menu while connecting the cable release, just connect & use.
Note: you can also happily use remote shutter release ML-L3 instead of MC-DC2 if you are owning D7100/ D600/ D800/ D4.
Satisfied with the service & product.
Thanks flipkart!
Flipkart delivered this within 3 days, you guys simply rock.
About the product, I want to say an important line, it is fully compatible with Nikon D3100. While buying this I have done a lot of research, but still didn't get a satisfactory result as whether this will work with my D3100, so took a risk and I must say it is fully worthy of it. It has 2 operation, you can half press for opening and then full press for dropping the shutter. The best part is it has a hold functionality, which works properly for bulb mode and once locked u do not need to keep a finger on it, that's pretty good.
So thanks, to Nikon, guys go for this if you are using D3100.
I had been using a MC-DC2 with my Nikon D7000 for almost 2 years now. I had lost mine during a trip and this is my second purchase of the same remote.
Excellent built quality
The most dependable remote for entry level Nikon DSLR.
Simple, very easy to set up and use.
A little expensive (Rs.1180)
If u want to fix it onto the camera in a hurry or in the dark, the box shaped interface makes it difficult.
Overall, its the only sensible choice. All the other third party remotes, though comes with too many features, it also brings too many risks of malfunctioning and damaging the camera.
Giving it a 4. 1 star less for the expensive price.

WHO/Jean Mohr
Smallpox is an acute contagious disease, caused by the variola virus. It is transmitted from person to person via infected aerosols and droplets from infected symptomatic people.
Symptoms appear 12–14 days after infection, and include fever, malaise, headache, prostration, severe back pain, and sometimes abdominal pain and vomiting. After 2–3 days, the body temperature falls and a rash appears, first on the face, hands and forearms, and later on the trunk.
Following a global WHO-led immunization campaign, smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980. It no longer occurs naturally, but stocks of the virus are still kept in two high-containment laboratories.

Compacts hold face powder. A woman did not powder her face in public until after World War I. By 1920, the beauty parlor, permanent waves, and cosmetics had become acceptable. A few companies sold cake face powder in a box with a mirror and a pad or puff. Soon the compact was designed by jewelers and made of gold, silver, and precious materials. Cosmetic companies began to sell powder in attractive compacts of less valuable metal or plastic. Collectors today search for Art Deco designs, commemorative compacts from World's Fairs or political events, and unusual examples. Many were made with companion lipsticks and other fittings. The original box adds value to the compact.

Report: Cardinals interview former Eagles DC Juan Castillo
According to CBS NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the team has checked in with former Eagles defensive coordinator and offensive line coach Juan Castillo.
Former Eagles OL coach/DC Juan Castillo interviewing with the Cardinals. Would imagine its for the OL spot vacated by Russ Grimm— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 9, 2013
Castillo was the Eagles' offensive line coach from 1998-2010, when he was moved into the defensive coordinator position. He was fired from that post in October 2012, though.
La Canfora notes the Cardinals' interest would likely be for his work with offensive linemen, as that is an area the team has struggled with for the better part of forever.
However, that they would be looking to add to the coaching staff without having a coach on board yet would seem like a questionable move.

If you're one of those glass half full kinds of people, you might want to consider this stock.
To get involved with this stock, as a fundamental thesis, you must believe the global economy has turned a corner.
In other words, you need to be an optimist.
You need to think the worst may be over for Europe, and that China is on the mend – that worldwide growth is again an investible theme.
If that's you -- then Cramer thinks Timken belongs on your radar.
An industrial goods company, Timken manufactures and manages global supply chains for two core product lines: anti-friction bearings and adjacent mechanical power transmission components. They also make specialty steel and related precision steel components.
If the global economy starts to get better, even in small increments, Cramer thinks Timken is well positioned to benefit.
That's because, "Timken has its fingers in a host of end markets, from cars to aerospace and more," Cramer explained. The ways in which economic gains could drive the bottom line are wide ranging.
However, the fortunes of the company are very much tethered to global economy. In Q1, Timken's sales fell about 23-percent, and earnings dropped 51-percent.
But those results are backward looking.

May Sell-Off: Omen or Opportunity
Cramer: This Company Should Break Up
Big Things About to Happen Overseas
Looking forward, the issue with this stock is whether the global economy has started to improve.
Cramer doesn't think that's a terribly far-fetched idea.
Earlier in the week, Cramer's conversations with Eaton CEO Sandy Cutler and PPG CEO Chuck Bunch suggested that headwinds generated by Europe may not grow worse than they already are.
And China's has signaled it will step up infrastructure investment, which analysts say should provide support for the economy in the second quarter.
All told, Cramer said, "ask yourself, what happens if the pessimists are wrong – what happens if Europe and China are stronger that most investors think?" Perhaps the answer is, Timken rallies.
Disclosure: As of Monday April 29th, Jim Cramer owned Timken on behalf of his charitable trust.

But that winning streak came to an end this weekend, just one game shy of the State Championship trophy. Norwood's Lady Mavericks couldn't overcome Pawnee, a team that had upset #1-ranked Simla in the semifinals, losing 28-23 in the championship match.
The Norwood girls ended their season the third ranked 1A basketball team in Colorado.
The girls' appearance on the State Championship Finals stage was a testament to this team's gritty determination, in a season that has seen its fair share of heartbreak for the tight-knit Norwood community and its small high school.
The girls' basketball team was about to step onto the court at last weekend's Regional Tournament, to fight for a State Tournament berth, when they heard that NHS junior Garrett Carothers had been buried in an avalanche while snowmobiling earlier on Saturday in Utah's La Sal's. Despite the tragic news, the Lady Mavericks stayed tough, going on to win their regional match and a trip to the State Tournament in the process.
By Sunday, members of both the girls' and boys' teams – both with State Tournament trips on the horizon – were mourning the loss of their classmate, whose body was recovered midday.
A week Norwood Schools Superintendent Dave Crews called "an emotional roller coaster" ended Saturday, with both NHS teams making the long trip to Denver, stepping onto the state basketball tournament courts with heavy hearts but steely determination. Both teams posted wins over the weekend, making their home school proud in the midst of its mourning.
The Lady Mavericks powered through their first-round match, winning 28-24 against Kim on Thursday. Norwood maintained its momentum into Friday, where they eked out the narrow win 51-48 win against Merino, earning a trip to the finals in the process.
Saturday's finals against Pawnee found the girls stumbling for their first time in more than 20 games, coming up just short of the Championship Trophy 28-23.
The Norwood boys' team fell in the first round to Sierra Grande, the state's top ranked 1A team going into the State Tournament. The tight-scoring match saw the Mavericks give a good effort, falling just short with a 75-64 final score. Sierra Grande went onto to make the finals, where they succumbed to #2 ranked Caliche.
In the consolation round Norwood came back to beat Springfield 59-49. The final round of the consolation bracket found Norwood tipping off against their divisional rivals Plateau Valley. Norwood couldn't break Plateau Valley's code in the state consolation round finals, though they gave it a good shot: Plateau Valley just barely inched ahead 50-47.
NHS' basketball teams returned to school Monday, to attend the memorial service for Garrett Carothers, held at the Norwood school.

Dow, S&P 500 drop for 4th straight day; Fed a concern
The Dow and the S&P 500 finished lower for the fourth consecutive session today after investors found few reasons to make big moves, with uncertainty remaining over when the Federal Reserve will start to slow its stimulus.
Stocks fell for much of the session, but edged closer to break-even levels in the last hour of trading. Still, the losses were broad, with eight of the 10 S&P 500 sector indexes ending lower for the day on concerns that the market's recent rally to record levels was not justified.
About 60 percent of the shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange closed lower for the day, while 56 percent of Nasdaq-listed stocks closed down.
Many market participants expect the Fed to announce a cut in its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases in March, but recent economic data increased expectations that the move may come sooner. The Fed has said it would slow its stimulus program when certain economic measures meet its targets, including a decline in the U.S. unemployment rate.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 24.85 points, or 0.16 percent, to end at 15,889.77. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 2.34 points, or 0.13 percent, to finish at 1,792.81. But the Nasdaq Composite Index inched up just 0.80 of a point, or 0.02 percent, to close at 4,038.00.
European shares also fell, for a third consecutive session, in response to evidence of growing momentum in the US economic recovery that could mean a scaling-back of stimulus by the Federal Reserve.
Standard Chartered was a stand-out faller, dropping 6.5 percent in heavy volume as it warned that profit would probably drop this year after Asian growth slowed over the past five months.
Banks were the worst performing sector as the FTSEurofirst 300 shed 7.26 points, or 0.6 percent to 1,273.59, closing below support around the 1,278 level.Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei average posted its biggest one-day fall in six weeks, a day after hitting a six-year closing high as investors pocketed gains ahead of the U. November jobs report due later this week.

Abbey and I'd been existing largely on Lunchables, cereal and frozen pizza over the past couple of meals, and I was feeling like a failure as a father by not providing proper sustenance to my growing little girl. So even though I'd endured an incredibly taxing day as a technical communicator, had several deadlines looming as a freelance writer, and it was Bath Night for both us, I decided to cook dinner.
Not microwave or heat something up, or have something delivered or even cruise through Burger King (again). Nope, I was going to feed my child … and by extension myself — 'cause Pop-Tarts for dinner is just sad and at my age it goes straight to my thighs.
So I fired up (or rather plugged in) the Deluxe George Foreman Grill, soaked some pork chops in Dale's, thawed out some broccoli and tossed a couple of individual Kraft Macaroni and Cheese containers in the microwave (yes, I used the microwave … I'm more "Man vs. Food" than Rachel Ray. So give me a break).
All this for a guy who not too long ago defined a good meal at home as string cheese, Hot Pockets and Rumplemintz.
I bet I spent 20 minutes slaving away in the kitchen. Then to complete the evening's healthy festivities, I set the table (i.e. coffee table) with age-appropriate placemats. Jellybean went with Dora the Explorer and I opted for the Disney Princesses. I gotta admit that I've got something of a cartoon crush on Belle, looking a might beastly myself.
An obviously hungry Jellybean popped a piece of pork chop in her mouth. I returned to the table just in time to watch her spit it out in her napkin and make a face like she'd just licked the underside of a day-old dead turtle.
"I don't like that," she said, crossing her arms. "Sorry."
The same went for the broccoli, which she'll order every time we go to Applebee's and scarf it down like she's at the Last Supper. So despite my beautiful spread, Jellybean settled for macaroni and cheese — all of it, in fact.
But that's better than what she usually survives on: Go-Gurt, of which she averages a 16-pack per week (like a Monday-Friday kinda week). On the weekends I just squeeze out a couple dozen into an IV and set up mainline drip while she watches SpongeBob.
After this past week's debacle, I formerly absolve myself as a poor provider of nutrition. Save for strapping her into her Disney Princess beanbag chair and force-feeding her like something in a Weird Al Yankovic video, I can't do much about the fact that she won't eat anything other than varieties of dairy or cheese.
What's frustrating is hear how "great" she ate at other people's house. It's not like I pulled the whole pork chop idea out of thin air. She sucked the other white meat up like a Dyson when she spent the night at her G-Daddy's house, and "promised" to eat it when we went grocery shopping for our weeks' worth of meals.
Then she spit it into a napkin. She wasn't even sneaky enough to feed it to the dog. I begged. I pleaded. I bribed with vanilla Oreos … nothing. "I don't like it" was all she said before skulking off toward the refrigerator.
We've got to find a compromise. I wonder if Go-Gurt comes in pork chop flavor?

Teacher Yara Luna named SAISD Trinity Prize nominee
Click here to see visit to the classroom
San Antonio ISD has named Yara Luna as the District's nominee for the 2013 Trinity (University) Prize for Excellence in Teaching, to be announced this spring. Yara is a 3rd-grade Gifted and Talented teacher at De Zavala Elementary School.
In recommending her, Principal Joseph Cerna wrote in his nomination letter: "It is without question that Ms. Luna has impacted hundreds of students' lives in a positive manner and will continue to do so without fail." And he noted that "she is a mentor, role model and advocate, and "provides her current and former students with a great amount of support and motivation in their educational experiences."
It's no surprise that Luna is at home in an SAISD classroom. Not only is she a District alum, but her mother, Lucia Garza, is a 42-year veteran SAISD educator and a primary source of inspiration.
Her appreciation for her mother's role as a caring teacher and mentor are attributes Luna now strives to exemplify as an educator.
In addition to the example set by her mother, Luna's desire to teach evolved from her experiences at the Child Protective Services legal department, where she worked after graduating from Vermont's Middlebury College in 2004.
After obtaining alternative teaching certification, Luna began substituting at De Zavala in September 2006 and was hired full-time in January 2007. Besides 3rd grade, she also has taught at the 2nd- and 4th-grade levels.
"I realize that teaching is a calling and privilege as well an enormous responsibility," Yara wrote as part of her nomination.
That commitment doesn't end when the students leave her classroom. Luna believes that "once they are my student they are always my student," and she continues to follow their progress.
This includes mentoring those she helped achieve admittance into the Young Women's Leadership Academy. She also feels a particular kinship for seniors at her alma mater, Brackenridge HS, whom she assists in preparing for college, even volunteering to chauffeur and chaperone students on out-of-state campus visits.
Her other commitments include: serving on the District Advisory Committee for curriculum; co-coordinating De Zavala's student newspaper; Positive Behavior Intervention Support efforts; University Interscholastic League competition; Junior Achievement partnership with the San Antonio Business Hall of Fame; PTA leadership; the University of Texas Explore UT field trip; founder/sponsor of the Taste Buds culinary club; campus recruiting at District job fairs; and endeavors promoting improved attendance.
As an SAISD student, Luna attended Woodlawn ES, and was a German-language multilingual magnet program student at Tafolla MS and Brackenridge HS, which helped prepare for her for spending her junior year in Germany as a foreign exchange student. She received a full scholarship for the trip through the efforts of her teacher, Ulrike Schulz.
Luna returned to Germany as a college student through the Middlebury Study Abroad Program.
Her higher education continued at UTSA, where she earned her master's degree in 2010.
Besides her mother and family members, Luna credits her success to Cerna, Schulz and other District educators including Margaret Mireles - who taught 5th-grade at Woodlawn prior to serving as an SAISD School Board president - and wishes to share her honor with them all.
"My success in life and in education has never been mine alone," Yara said.
