That's right. A batch of donuts that won't do you in. No, they're not fried in oil. Yes, they're fudgy and glazed with delectable icing. And yes, they're as delicious as they look... Watch how they're made! Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 15 minutes Cool: 35 minutes Ingredients: Donuts 1 1/4 cups moist-style devil's food cake mix (a little less than half a box) 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin 1/4 cup egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute Glaze 1/2 cup powdered sugar (not packed) 1 1/2 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk, light vanilla soymilk, or fat-free dairy milk 1/8 tsp. vanilla extract Dash salt Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 6-cavity standard donut pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pumpkin, and egg whites/substitute. Add 1/4 cup water, and mix until completely smooth and uniform. Evenly distribute batter into the rings of the donut pan, and smooth out the tops. (See HG Tip.) Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out mostly clean, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, place a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Let donuts cool completely, about 10 minutes in the pan and 15 minutes on the cooling rack. In a medium bowl, combine glaze ingredients, and whisk until smooth and uniform. One at a time, dunk the tops of the donuts into the glaze, coating the top halves. Return to the cooling rack, and allow glaze to set, about 10 minutes. (Glaze will run off; that's why you've got the rack over that baking sheet.) MAKES 6 SERVINGS

HG Tip: To make your donuts look extra beautiful, fill the donut cavities using a DIY piping bag. Just transfer the batter to a plastic bag, and squeeze it down toward a bottom corner. Snip off that corner with scissors, creating a small hole for piping. Ta-da!
Donuts HAPPEN. You find yourself on the go, and donuts are there. You make a coffee run, and donuts are there. You walk into the break room, and donuts are there. "Oh well, I'll just have one. How bad could it be?" We're dealing with rings of fried dough glazed in sugar -- the nutritional info ain't pretty. But we recently created a swap so amazing, we can barely believe it ourselves. All you need is a donut pan (find 'em online and at places like Bed Bath & Beyond) and the HG recipe to the left. Being able to whip up glazed chocolate donuts without cuckoo fat counts is almost like magic. And if donuts are gonna happen, we prefer them to be of the magical low-fat variety, thankyouverymuch.

The Aussie coach made several changes to his team for the game at Twickenham but England still managed to get the job done in front of a packed crowd.
However, they did struggle on occasions and there was a gap of 31 minutes between points either side of half-time.
A late flurry of tries saw them pull away in the end as they recorded another autumn international win following earlier victories over Argentina and Australia.
Jones openly admits his players need to learn and believes Saturday's victory will help them become a better team in the future.
He told reporters: "I probably would've been disappointed if they didn't struggle.
"That's the sort of examination we wanted, particularly after playing Australia. When you're playing against a side you're supposed to beat by a big score... the mindset you need for that sort of game is something you only get by experience.
"We started the game well and then thought the game was going to flow and going to be easy.
"We want to find out these things now, what players struggle to do. And then we can help them and they can help themselves fix it.
"You don't want to find these things out in the 60th minute of the game against Tonga in Kobe [during the 2019 World Cup opener], that some players aren't up to it."

Not just home to ice and snow, this gigantic and often-ignored part of Canada has long been a theatre of human drama, deep and rich culture, and international politics. We're putting faces to the names of these incredible islands.
A matter of pride
How a nagging suspicion opened the passage
When Captain John Ross said he saw mountains at the end of a strait into Lancaster Sound on his 1818 expedition to find the Northwest Passage, several officers on board doubted the veracity of his claims. Nonetheless, the ships turned back to Britain before moving any farther into the passage's eastern gate.
It didn't sit well with William Parry, lieutenant of the expedition, so he set out again in 1819 captaining HMS Hecla, with HMS Griper following his lead. The crew headed straight for Lancaster Sound. After a detour south into Prince Regent Inlet when ice blocked their way, they would prove Ross's "Crocker Mountains" a fiction, sailing straight through Lancaster Sound and all the way to the south shore of Melville Island to spend a long winter locked in by ice.
The site, known as Winter Harbour, is marked with a monument in Parry's honour: it was, after all, one of the most productive attempts at finding a Northwest Passage. (Imagine all the lives and money—and human drama—that would have been spared had ice not impeded Parry.) His name would also be given to the cottage country town of Parry Sound, Ontario and to a crater on the moon. Parry's venture, attaining the region of the archipelago now known as the Parry Islands, opened the west for explorers to follow. – EA
A home for Northern science
Cambridge Bay, Nunavut prepares for CHARS
One of the largest buildings in the North is under construction in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut and it's all in the name of science. The 50,000-square-foot Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) is a major project of the Canadian government, with a pricetag of about $150 million. Once fully operational, the centre should cost about $27 million a year to run, hosting visiting scientists and researchers from across Canada and the world, as well as its 60 full-time employees.
Originally announced by the Harper government in 2012, CHARS has seen its mandate shift. Under the Conservatives, it leaned towards resource development and technology. Now, the priorities centre around studying the effects of climate change in the Arctic—and more for community interest than industry's, according to Polar Knowledge president and CEO David Scott.
CHARS has wrapped up two field seasons and the centre is set to open this fall. – EA
Fight for the slice
Yukon and Alaska's boundary dispute
A 40-year-old dispute between the U.S. and Canada goes back to one phrase: "As far as the frozen ocean."
An 1825 treaty between Russia and Britain—later passed on to the U.S. and Canada, respectively—set the Alaska/Yukon border at the 141st meridian. On land, it's all good. But different interpretations of what this means beyond the shore has left a 6,250-square-mile slice of the Beaufort Sea disputed.
In Canada's view, the marine boundary follows a continuous line drawn along the 141st meridian over the frozen ocean, leaving the waters above Yukon under Canadian rule. But the U.S. reads it as delineating a border that stops at the frozen ocean. Their position is that the standard for determining marine boundaries, an equidistance line, should be applied. That means finding the equal point between the shores on either side and then connecting the dots. This would see the border veer slightly northeast, granting the U.S. that final slice. – EA

EMMERDALE viewers were left in hysterics on Monday night when Moira towed Cain's caravan off her land while he was on the toilet inside.
Fans at home were equally upset that killer Emma Barton had tricked Moria into kicking Cain out in the first place but they couldn't help but laugh when he was caught with his trousers down.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "Poor Cain! Getting caught with his trousers down😂😂#Emmerdale."
Another said: "@emmerdale I really don't think we needed to see cain dropping the kids off at the pool! #emmerdale #cain."
A third added: "Oh Moria, poor Cain, was a funny sight tho. Lol #Emmerdale."
It all kicked off earlier in the night when Cain fell victim to Emma's conniving ways as he tries to win ex Moira back.
Finding Emma in his dead step-daughter Holly's bedroom, Cain hits the roof and drags Emma out into the garden, but when he gets there he's shocked to realise Moira has seen everything and he's been totally played by Emma.
Emma's plan works perfectly and Cain is forced to walk away from his home as Emma wins the upper hand, but not all is well for Emma as she comes close to breaking point over causing the death of her lover James.
"She's really not taking it well," says Gillian Kearney, who plays the killer nurse.
"She's been taking sleeping tablets and is becoming quite addicted to them. She even takes them from Dr Cavanagh when he's not looking and steals a book of prescription leaflets so she can write out her own."
Meanwhile, last week Emma finally confessed to killing husband James Barton, but twisted the truth to escape justice.
Emma shocked her sons as she confessed to being responsible for his death at the inquest, before quickly saving her own skin and claiming James had killed himself.
Emmerdale has also teased TWO shock exits as characters plan to leave the Dales over the Chrsitmas period.
Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.

I remember discovering the Game of Thrones when it was first released years ago. This is a high fantasy novel that evokes the joy and thrill of Tolkein. After that initial discovery, I've been devouring this series ever since.
When they started talking about the TV series, I couldn't wait and I went a re-read the book. I have consumed this book in every format there is. I would say even if you've already read the book, it's well worth watching the TV series and listening to the audiobook version as well. Particularly if you can get the audiobook free as I'm about to tell you.
First, here's a quick summary of the story for the uninitiated: In a fantasy realm, rife with politics there is danger lurking from an evil that's massing beyond the the protective wall of the kingdom of Winterfell. As the saying goes,"Winter is coming." The kings powers are failing and enemies are emerging to take the throne. Follow the Starks of Winterfell as they strive to hold off the evil. Magic, kings and ladies, sorcerers, soldiers and monsters abound in this high fantasy series and we wait to see who will win the game of thrones.
This is one of those books that joins the ranks of Tolkien in high fantasy. You'll be enthralled with the story as I was. The book normally retails on Audible for $31.50. But I'm going to tell you how you can get the audiobook version of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones absolutely free!
How is this possible? Well, Audible has made this book available as a free download when you sign up for a free trial. So, here's how it works. Anyone can sign up for a free trial of Audible. Included in the free trial, Audible allows you to download a free audiobook. You can pick from 100,000 titles. You can pick any book you choose as your free gift, including Game of Thrones.
Just download that book and you can listen to it on any device that can play an mp3 including your iPhone, iPod, iPad or other mp3 player.
Audible does request a credit card number in order to sign up for the free trial, however they don't charge anything on your card. It"s 100% free to try. After you've downloaded the audiobook, you can cancel your free trial at any time. That means that they will never charge your credit card and Voila! You've just gotten George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones free!
So, what are you waiting for?

Today's women are a different breed.
No longer content to sit on the sidelines in uncomfortable corsets and cheer for their men today's women grab life with both hands and say "Oh yeah, life, you're my bitch. You're my bitch now. Bend over. Bend over life." Ideal femininity has gone from a pale creature in a bright dress who smells like flowers to a tough girl in a sports bra with shredded abs and short spiked hair. She sweats, she farts, and, yes, she fucks. Lovely? Like a china doll? Like a daffodil? Lovely? I think not.
So how is it a compliment to tell someone he has a lovely wife? Just what are you implying? That she's from a bygone era? That she's old? That instead of embracing sex as a thing of joy and pleasure she lies back on the bed, lifts her knees, and thinks of England? A lovely girl is polite and respectful. When asked for oral sex she declines, or at best licks hesitantly at the penis, like a child tasting an ice cream cone only to find it is made of human flesh. Then she returns to her time honored tradition of counting ceiling tiles while the hairy brute completes his business. Lovely is an insult, a shot across the bow. "You have a lovely wife sir. Sex with you must really be a chore."
So I decided to go on a quest. A quest to discover a new adjective to describe the modern bride. An adjective that would compliment her beauty without impugning her spirit. An adjective that would capture the essence of what it means to be a woman in 2005. I would try out a bunch of candidates and see what felt right and what other people responded to as a replacement for "Lovely."
I started with "Fuckable." This did not go over well. In fact, you'd be surprised how hard an old man can hit you if you lean over during a piano recital and say "Is that your granddaughter? She's extremely fuckable." After that and several other incidents, including one unfortunate misunderstanding at a job interview where a recent widower had a photograph that was clearly misleading about the current life/death status of his wife, I had to concede that perhaps my idea could use a little massaging. After quickly going through "Rideable" "Masturbateable to" and "Is that your wife? I'd hit it" I decided that perhaps the world was not ready for such a radical departure from "Lovely" and perhaps it would be advisable to rein things in a little.
Thus began a lengthy search of the English language for just the right word. "Foxy," "Foxish," "Stone cold Fox," and "Alopex lagopus" were all dismal failures. "Troutish" just lead to cocked eyebrows and a bartender refusing to serve me anything but Sprite. "Crackerjack" made people think of a delicious ballgame snack, "hunky dory" made them think they were at a '50s theme party, and "super-duper" got me a date with a guy named Carl, though that may just have been the accentuating lisp.
I tried taste adjectives next, but there didn't seem to be a happy compromise between "Ambrosial" (a little too fancy) and "Sumptuous" (A little too "Is that your wife? I'd hit it.") "Creamcake" "Amaretto Surprise" and "Roasted chicken in a lovely orange sauce with cilantro and a side of pureed New Potatoes" all confused people. Was there no way to refer to women without implying they were shrinking violets or getting my ass kicked?
Then I stumbled upon the perfect word. "Winsome." It does not reduce a woman to merely the sum of her physical parts or imply that she is a shrinking violet, but neither does it conjure up images of illicit sexual behavior or a three course meal. Now I know what you're thinking, winsome is just a synonym for "charming." That's true, but I wasn't going to go on this vast journey of linguistic discovery just to end up at "charming." People already say "charming." I didn't get my ass kicked by a 70 year old in an ascot to end up with "charming." Winsome is also alliterative, a winsome woman. Can charming say that? No. So fuck "charming." Now I know what else you're saying. Winsome makes me sound a douche. That's true, it does have that drawback. But you know what? Sounding like a douche is a lot less awkward than setting salary demands with a man whose dead wife you've just called fuckable, okay? So deal with it. The next time you need an adjective to describe someone's wife or daughter go with "Winsome." You can't go wrong with "Winsome." Do not under any circumstances say you'd hit it. Trust me, that's not the way to go.

FIG. 1 provides an overview of a prediction process. A candidate list is created 104 based on received user input. For example, a user may enter the letters "os" into a computing device, such as a table personal computer (PC). The computing device may create a candidate list of words that start with the received user input. Predictive support may be activated 106 (e.g., when a certain number of characters have been received) and then presented 108 to the user, such as an on-screen display presentation. The user may then select 110 a candidate, which is then inserted into the document.
Such prediction mechanisms for auto-completion of text are successful in specialized applications, such as integrated development environments for creating computer applications. This is partially because programming languages have a limited vocabulary and a well defined grammar. However, prediction mechanisms may fail in general purpose editors, such as word processing applications, unless the completion is unambiguous (for example, the completion of a date or signature). This is particularly a problem for languages with complex morphology where a word may have a multitude of forms varying by the endings, or where words can combine with other words for form long compounds. Phenomena like this make it difficult for the system to determine an unambiguous completion. This can be frustrating for users who wish to benefit from a prediction mechanism, particularly users who are creating documents for specialized fields where the use of complicated, and sometimes lengthy, terms are common, such as the areas of law or medicine.
Existing systems may also fail to provide an effective methodology of selecting a desired word when a large candidate list of possible words is available. For example, if thirty words are associated with received user input, it may be more time consuming to scroll through the entries than to complete the user input without the support of a prediction mechanism. Long lists of candidates may pose an even more significant challenge for small-screen devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, etc. Although it may be possible to reduce the candidate list by waiting until more user input is received before activating the list, this benefit may come at the expense of providing meaningful predictive support to the user.
The following presents a simplified summary of the disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding to the reader. This summary is not an extensive overview of the disclosure and it does not identify key/critical elements of the invention or delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts disclosed herein in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
A computing system may predict a word based on received user input that selects a part of the word (e.g., the first characters, the first root, etc.). Specifically, a program, when run on the computing system, may perform a method including creating a candidate list of words based on received user input. The candidate list of words may be then organized into a hierarchy, or tree structure, in which each word is associated with a parent and each parent is a partial match for its associated words. The top-tier partial matches (e.g., the first set of partial matches) may be presented, and user input corresponding to a selected partial match may be received. A set of candidates related to the selected partial match may then be presented for user selection. This may enable meaningful predictive support with limited received user input in conjunction with a comprehensive candidate list and limited options presented at any given time.
Additionally or alternatively, maximally distinct completed words may be presented (e.g., two or more words having different letters close to the start of each of the words).
Additionally or alternatively to presenting multiple completion possibilities, a single most likely word may be presented either adjacent to the writing area or directly within the writing area.
These methods of presentation may be used in combination with or independent of a partial selection method in which the user may begin editing the first undesired character of the completion, thereby accepting the preceding characters.
Many of the attendant features will be more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
The present description will be better understood from the following detailed description read in light of the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an overview of a predictive process for facilitating word completion.
FIG. 2 shows a logical representation of an active dictionary.
FIG. 3 shows an exemplary computing device displaying an exemplary graphical user interface with a candidate list hierarchy.
FIG. 4 shows a process for predicting a word based on partial selection with a two-tier hierarchy.
FIG. 5 shows a generalized process for predicting a word based on partial selection.
FIG. 6 shows an exemplary computing device displaying an exemplary graphical user interface with an inline prediction interface.
FIG. 7 shows a process for completing a word based at least partially on an accepted character and a new character user input.
FIG. 8 shows a computer system in an exemplary implementation that is operable to enable text predictions with partial selection.
Like reference numerals are used to designate like parts in the accompanying drawings.
The detailed description provided below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of the present examples and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the present example may be constructed or utilized. The description sets forth the functions of the example and the sequence of steps for constructing and operating the example. However, the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different examples.
Although the present examples are described and illustrated herein as being implemented in a computer device, the system described is provided as an example and not a limitation. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the present examples are suitable for application in a variety of different types of computing, entertainment, and communication systems.
FIG. 2 shows a logical representation of an active dictionary 200 that may include words, phrases, roots, and/or other information. The active dictionary 200 may be general, customized to a specialized field, and/or customized by a user. This dictionary may be stored in volatile and/or non-volatile memory on computing device 300 (shown in FIG. 3). A computing device 300 may have multiple dictionaries, and one or more of these dictionaries may be designated as active. For example, a user may have one or more general purpose dictionary and/or one or more medical, legal, engineering, and/or other types of dictionaries having words (or phrases) relating to a particular discipline loaded on a computer, and a subset of these may be designated as active for the purpose of prediction. A dictionary may be active for prediction because it has been activated generally (e.g., for the purpose of spell-checking and prediction), activated specifically for prediction (e.g., two dictionaries are active for spell-checking, while only one is active for prediction), or otherwise activated.
Within the active dictionary 200 is a listing of words. A candidate list 210 may be a subset of the listing of words in the active dictionary 200 that match a received user input. For example, candidate list 210 may be a partial listing of the words in the active dictionary 200 that partially match the received user input "os" and possibly fit other criteria for inclusion in the candidate list (e.g., frequency of usage, occurrence in a preferred dictionary, or suitability based on surrounding context). This user input may be received in a variety of modalities, including handwriting on a handwriting-recognition enabled tablet PC, entering by keyboard (hard keyboard, or soft, on-screen keyboard), speaking into a microphone, etc. The term user input may include user input received by an application (e.g., characters and commands since a new document was created), the characters received since a special character was received (e.g., all characters received since the last space, paragraph, prediction activation key, etc.), or other types of user input. Generally, the term user input refers to all characters received since a special character was received.
Two-tier hierarchy 220 represents the candidate list 210 grouped under parent partial matches (e.g., the hierarchy includes each of the words in the candidate list and a plurality of partial matches to which each of the words is associated). A partial match may be described as a relationship between two sets of characters in which the first set of characters is equivalent to a leading portion of the second set of characters (e.g., the set of characters "char" is a partial match for the set of characters "charac" as well as the sets of characters "character", "characterize", etc.). Two-tier hierarchy 220 may be used in the process depicted in FIG. 4. By way of overview, "ossific" and "ossification" may be grouped under the partial match "oss." In the two-tier hierarchy 220, the top-tier of the hierarchy may be partial matches, and the second tier may contain the entire candidate list 210. Alternatively, the two-tier hierarchy 220 may include members of the candidate list 210 on the top level as well.
The groupings may be based on metrics (e.g., such that each partial match has a targeted number of children, such as 2-10 children), history (e.g., based on selections made by the user, past and present user input, etc.), linguistic components (e.g., roots, stems, syllables, etc.), or other techniques. By way of specific example, a grouping established such that each partial match has a target range of options per partial match may be implemented by first analyzing a set of possible hierarchies that match the received user input and then selecting a hierarchy that best satisfies the target range (e.g., fully satisfies the target range criteria, has the fewest number of partial matches with too few or too many children, etc.). The groupings may be established in response to the user input, or created in advance of the user input and stored as part of the dictionary and/or outside the dictionary. Additionally, in one embodiment, a single word may be part of multiple partial matches.
The partial matches, and the relationships between the partial matches, the candidates, and the received user input may be stored in any suitable manner, such as inline (e.g., directly in the dictionary as part of the dictionary listing), in a lookup table (e.g., another data store that identifies partial matches and which words are related to which partial match), or otherwise stored. Furthermore, some or all of the partial matches, and the relationships between the partial matches, the candidates, and the received user input may be dynamically determined. For example, when the user input "os" is received, any partial match that starts with the received user input may be matched.
Multi-tier hierarchy 230 represents a hierarchy in which a partial match (e.g., "arth") may be both the child of another partial match (e.g., "osteo") as well as the parent of a candidate (e.g., "osteoarthritic"). Multi-tier hierarchy 230 may be otherwise configured similarly to the two-tier hierarchy 220. Multi-tier hierarchy 230 may be used in the process described with respect to FIG. 5.
FIG. 3 shows an exemplary computing device that enables a user to interact with a candidate list. Specifically, computing device 300 displays an exemplary graphical user interface 320 with a candidate list hierarchy 340. The candidate list hierarchy 340 may include top-tier partial matches 342 and candidates 346. In a multi-tier hierarchy, the candidate list hierarchy 340 may also include nested partial matches 344. As the user provides input (e.g., writes onto a table PC), the computing device 300 may present a candidate list hierarchy 340 with which the user may interact to select a desired word from the displayed candidates 346 in an efficient manner. In one embodiment, the style of the partial matches and candidates in the candidate list hierarchy 340 may be adjusted to approximate the appearance of the user input to minimize discontinuity (e.g., if the received user input is handwritten user input, present the candidate list hierarchy in a style that emulates the handwriting or selects a font and style that best approximates the handwriting style). The style may comprise a selection of font, font size, font attributes (e.g. bold, italic, underlined, font color) and/or other attributes that affect the appearance of the candidates for handwritten text. Also, when the received user input is typed, the style of the candidates may match the style of the typed input exactly. Furthermore, regardless of the style of the items in a candidate list, after an item has been selected from a candidate list, the text inserted may be formatted to be similar to the format and/or style of the text appearing before the suggestion.
FIG. 4 shows a process for predicting a word based on partial selection with a two-tier hierarchy (e.g., two-tier hierarchy 220). Creating 404 the candidate list may be initiated based upon received user input (e.g., receipt of the letters "os"), may be done in advance in anticipation of received user input, or otherwise initiated. A hierarchy for the candidate list may be created 406. For example, the candidate list may be grouped based on sharing a common root, stem, syllable, etc. This grouping may be done upon receipt of or prior to the receipt of user input. The hierarchy may include each of the words in the candidate list and a plurality of partial matches to which each of the words is associated.
Presenting 408 a top-tier of partial matches may result in a presentation of the "oss" and "ost" partial matches depicted as the top-tier partial matches 342 of FIG. 3. Receiving 410 user input corresponding to a selected partial match may include receiving a selection on a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen, use of arrow and enter keys on a keyboard, use of a wheel on a cell phone, or any type of user input device that enables a user to make a selection from a user interface.
Presenting 412 a set of candidates related to the selected partial match may involve presenting the children of the node selected at 410. For example, the candidates "ossific," "ossification," "ossifications," etc., shown in the two-tier hierarchy 220 of FIG. 2 under the "oss" partial match may be presented. Receiving 414 user input corresponding to a selected candidate may involve the selection of one of the candidates. Alternatively or additionally, the final user input may correspond to cancelling the prediction request if the candidate is not present, an update request for the prediction process, or other type of request or command.
FIG. 5 shows a generalized process for predicting a word based on partial selection that may accommodate hierarchies of greater than two levels. The candidate list is again created 504, either in response to the user input or in anticipation of the received user input. The hierarchy for the candidate list is created 506 in accordance with step 406 above.
The following steps are repeated until the selected node is a word (or the user cancels the process, not shown). The next tier of nodes is presented 508. If this is the first pass through the process 500, then the top-tier nodes are presented (e.g., "oss" and "ost"). If this is a subsequent pass, then the children of the selected node are presented (e.g., if "ost" has been selected, then the nested partial matches 344 of FIG. 3 may be depicted, such as "osteoarth" and "osteoblast", whereas if "osteoblast" has been selected, then the candidates 346 having "osteoblast" as a parent are presented, such as "osteoblast", "osteoblastic", and "osteoblasts"). User input corresponding to the selected node is received 510. The computing device 300 then determines 512 whether selected node is a word or a partial match. When the selected node is a word (yes at 512), inserting 514 the completed word (e.g., into a word processing document). When the selected node is a partial match (no at 512), the process returns to 508, but with a new selected node.
In one embodiment, a node corresponding to a word is presented in a different manner than a node corresponding to a partial match for a word. Nodes corresponding to a word and nodes corresponding to partial matches for a word may be presented on the same tier, different tiers, or a combination of the two.
In another embodiment, maximally distinct completed words may be presented (e.g., two or more words having different letters close to the start of each of the words) for selection by a user. For example, considering the words "metabolic," "metabolics," "metathesis," and "metatheses," instead of presenting each of these words in a candidate list, the maximally distinct words may be shown (e.g., the set of words "metabolic" and "metathesis", "metabolic" and "metatheses," etc., in which each pair has different characters at the fifth character position). Upon selection of one of the maximally distinct words, the computing device may determine whether other words need to be displayed and, if so, provide a subsequent candidate list having these words. For example, upon selection of the word "metathesis," providing a candidate list including "metathesis," and "metatheses". Similarly, the selected word may be assumed to be correct, and a candidate list may be presented that includes only alternate words that a user may select. Other methodologies may also be used.
FIG. 6 shows an exemplary computing device displaying an exemplary graphical user interface with an inline prediction interface 610. Instead of using a drop down to present the hierarchy, a best match is presented inline (e.g., in an area that can be edited by the user). The user may then select an incorrect letter and overwrite this letter in a manner described with respect to FIG. 7. In a preferred embodiment, the inline prediction interface 610 may be used with handwriting recognition software. In an alternate embodiment, the inline prediction interface 610 may be used with a keyboard. Other embodiments may also be used (e.g., speech input).
FIG. 7 shows a process for completing a word based at least partially on an accepted character and a new character user input, which may be used to implement the inline prediction interface described with respect to FIG. 6. User input is received 720 and a predicted character set is presented 730 inline. If the word matched the user's desired word, the user may accept the predicted character set and terminate the operation (not shown). If, however, the predicted word is not the word the user intended to write, the user may select the first incorrect letter in the word and overwrite that character (e.g., by placing a stylus over the letter "c" of the inline prediction interface 610 and writing the letter "e"). When this new character is received 740, this character replaces 750 the overwritten character and accepts 760 one or more characters between the overwritten character and the end of the first set of user input as an accepted character (e.g., the letters "sifi" between the overwritten letter "c" and the "s" of the "os" entered by the user).
The user may then complete the word (e.g., "ossifiers") by writing in the remainder of the letters. Additionally, the user may complete the word by selecting a subsequently predicted word provided by the inline prediction interface 610, wherein the subsequent prediction is based on the user input, the new character (e.g., "e"), and the accepted character (e.g., "sifi"). Accordingly, whether the user provides input for the remainder of the word or accepts a subsequent prediction, the completed word is based at least partially on the first set of user input, the accepted character, and the new character user input. Similarly, the completed word is not the initially predicted word, but the user was able to accept a subset of the predicted letters to complete the word.
FIG. 8 shows a computer system 800 that may include a memory device 810, such as random access memory, a processor 820, such as a microprocessor, a network interface 830, such as a network interface card, an input/output communication interface 850, such as an interface to device display 310, and a system bus 840 that interconnects the components of the computer system 800. The network interface may enable communication with a remote computer (not shown) for receiving updated dictionaries, for example. Additionally, the computer system 800 may include non-volatile memory 860 having computer readable data including a dictionary data store 862 and programming instructions 864, which may be stored on a file system, in a database, or otherwise. During program execution, data and instructions may be transferred from the non-volatile memory 860 to memory 810. The computer system may be housed in a console that provides structure, support and protection for the included devices.
Non-volatile memory 860 and memory 810 are both examples of computer readable storage media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable storage media may include volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer readable storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by computer system 800.
Those skilled in the art will realize that storage devices utilized to store program instructions can be distributed across a network. For example, a remote computer may store an example of the process described as software. A local or terminal computer may access the remote computer and download a part or all of the software to run the program. Alternatively, the local computer may download pieces of the software as needed, or execute some software instructions at the local terminal and some at the remote computer (or computer network). Those skilled in the art will also realize that by utilizing conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art that all, or a portion of the software instructions may be carried out by a dedicated circuit, such as a DSP, programmable logic array, or the like. Furthermore, although the context for the disclosed system and method have been largely explained with respect to a tablet PC, other computing, entertainment, and communication devices may be used, included mobile devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, desktop computers, servers, and other types of devices. Additionally, the context of the disclosed system and method have been directed to the completion of a word, other units of communication may also be used, such as phrases, sentences, paragraphs, etc.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – An unseasonably chilly morning eventually blossomed into a gorgeous Eastern Iowa spring day Monday at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
It is for days like this that top catching prospect Eric Haase is willing to travel south to play baseball.
Haase and his father, Don Haase, made the eight-hour drive southwest from their home in Westland, Mich., to Perfect Game Field so Eric could participate in Monday's PG National Pre-Draft Showcase alongside nearly 50 other outstanding prospects from across the country.
Michigan struggled through a cold and wet April and early May, just as Cedar Rapids did. Haase may not have been aware of Iowa's weather woes, but he was grateful for the opportunity to showcase his considerable talents under cloudless blue skies and in a 65-degree temperature on Monday.
"It's a nice break from high school ball, to get out of the state a little bit in the middle of the high school season," Haase said. "We still have a couple of weeks left (in the high school season) because we can't really start that early – the weather is just horrible at the beginning of the year."
Haase, a 5-11, 190-pound 18-year-old catcher and third baseman, is considered one of the nation's top prospects in the class of 2011.
He is Perfect Game's No. 1-ranked prospect in his home state and No. 37 nationally. He was a 2011 Rawlings Preseason First Team All-American, and was named to the top prospect teams at the 2011 PG World Showcase in Fort Myers, Fla., and at the 2010 PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla.
Haase was amazed at the amount of exposure he received at those two prestigious Florida events, and was looking for more of the same at the PG National Pre-Draft.
"The scouts don't really get an opportunity to see me up in the northern states, because there's no doubt it's a southern kind of sport with all the scouts that are down at Jupiter and places like that," he said. "This is a good opportunity for me.
"And when you go (to PG events) in the middle of the winter it's especially good because it's snowing up where we're at," he continued. "It's just a good time to go down and play against good competition in the warm weather."
His father, Don Haase, is more than happy to help his son gain that national exposure.
"He loves baseball and he does pretty well at it – obviously Perfect Game seems to think so," Don said. "He's played baseball his whole life and this was kind of one of the mapped-out trips that we were hoping to attend, since it's an invitation-only. It's a vacation day for us and it's my time with him before he goes away to school or to play (professional) baseball."
Haase graduated from Divine Child High School with a 3.95 GPA and is an elite recruit at Ohio State University after deciding to leave his home state for the perceived villains to the south. To Haase, choosing the Buckeyes and head coach Greg Beals was kind of a no-brainer.
"The coaching staff is just great – they're new and young – and the endless possibilities and resources that Ohio State has to offer is just insane," Haase said of deciding to attend OSU despite being a Michigan kid. "I'll probably get hated on for that, but, you know."
There were several other talented catchers at the National Pre-Draft Monday, including NCAA Division I signees Drew Stiner from Sand Springs, Okla. (Oklahoma State), JC Coban from Boca Raton, Fla. (Penn State) and Vincent Tranchina from Manasquan, N.J. (St. John's).
Haase and those other prospects will also be keeping an eye on next month's MLB First-Year Player Draft. Don Haase said the draft has definitely been a part of his family's conversation throughout the spring.
"You just never know what's going to happen," he said. "The draft changes from minute-to-minute as they go through the proceedings but, yeah, if the opportunity is right, he would consider playing professional ball.
"It's sure been a lot of a fun," Don concluded. "It's been a pretty good ride."

The Horizon League is no stranger to NCAA Basketball success. Butler made it to two consecutive National Championship games while playing in the conference, and brought the mid-major schools into the forefront of collegiate sports.
Butler has since left the Horizon League for the Big East. And while the Horizon's most successful team departed, there is still plenty of talent residing within the conference.
One such team that wants to become the next Butler is Valparaiso.
Bryce Drew is on the frontline of the Valpo movement. Mostly known for his playing days, he hit one of the most heroic buzzer-beaters in NCAA Tournament history. Now, Drew is the head coach of his alma mater, and in five years has taken turned them into one of the most feared mid-major's of the collegiate world.
The Crusaders are led by junior, Alec Peters, who is a consensus All-Conference talent.
On the young season, Peters averages 17 points and 5.8 rebounds, leading Valparaiso in both categories.
"Alec is such a competitor," Drew said. "He wants the ball in all situations, especially at the end of the game."
The Crusaders already have three quality wins on their resume, beating Iona, Rhode Island and Oregon State. All three victories will go a long way in factoring into the teams NCAA Tournament hopes.
CBS Sports, Jon Rothstein stated that he believes Valpo could garner an at-large bid to the Tournament. That's assuming they don't claim the Horizon League's automatic bid, which is a likely scenario.
Led by the coaching of Drew and the play of Peters, Valpo is indeed one of the NCAA's most underrated squads. They might not be a Final Four contender, but a Cinderella run in March isn't out of the question.

A couple of days ago I was reading The World is Flat, by Thomas Friedman, and I came across a very interesting passage:
When individuals are empowered to inform themselves on all these new ways, it is enormously flattening, but also enormously frightening. Why? Because people will be able to drill down for information about you and me that used to be either impossible or very difficult to locate. (…) You never know anymore what kind of electronic footprints your are leaving in databases that you assume are private and will now, or soon will be, searchable.
After reading it I realized that the message is particularly important to web workers. It is not rare to find bloggers, website owners and online marketers trying to make money or become popular online using controversial – let alone unethical – techniques.
Just think about sploggers and content thieves, spammers, scammers, shady affiliate marketers and so on. Sure they might be earning some money on the short run, but at what cost? One slip and you will ruin your reputation for good. And there are no erasers on the Internet.
Here is what Thomas Friedman concluded:
Live your life honestly, because whatever you do, whatever mistakes you make, will be searchable one day.
So the next time a "smart" idea comes into your mind, think twice. Honesty and integrity should come above everything else.

Why the silence so long?

I finally got out of that stinkin' fuckin' PRISON called Maghaberry in April 2011. So now will someone listen?
Billy Shaw
What? Again?
Billy Shaw
Love your neighbour as much as you think you love yourself and you shouldn't go too far wrong. But, remember never hate yourself because it'll show.
Billy Shaw
Is anyone out there listening?
Billy Shaw
Too much to say in this small space. Watch out for my "book".
Watch billyshaw136 youtube and read the original introduction by Altar Ego. (last part intro missing but soon to be replaced by slightly modified intro.)
One of the biggest things that can come back to haunt you is your past, and things you have said. With the internet thats even truer as things are archived potentially indefinitely.

Honesty is the most important thing in humankind. When one is dishonest they are lying to themselves and humanity. My wife, Mrs. Khadija Shaw is at this moment lying to the authorities in N. Ireland and being believed. She is living under the advantage of that lie. I seem to be able to do nothing about it. email@example.com. Please contact me if you think you can help me in my predicament.
Yours in absolute truth,
Billy Shaw
I agree with you on putting honesty and integrity above everything else; these are the values which I treasure greatly. I am constantly reminding myself, "honesty and integrity are what I do when no one is watching."
i agree with u…honesty is required….just getting all ideas from the other guy proves no innovation

Live your life honestly, because whatever you do, whatever mistakes you make, will be searchable one day.
Uh, Tom Friedman *would* think that way. In reality you should live your life honestly because honesty is a virtue and it's proper to seek a virtuous life.
On a more practical note, as someone above pointed out, we depend on habits to navigate our days. It's easier to keep track of what you said and did if you're honest while doing so.
Michael VanDeMar
Honesty should be the course of action because of who you are, not because your actions may be recorded on the internet.
@TRCoach – while in essence that may be true, honesty is also a habit like so many other things, and practicing it, regardless of the motives, can only help someone in the long run. If the fact that their words are actually recorded for posterity helps to remind people that they should be honest, then let it. Eventually it will work its way into their nature in one way or another.
I don't have a degree in anything and I've never heard of this writer, so I'm maybe not very qualified to comment.
But if he really used the phrase "suck on this" in a foreign-policy context, it's definitely simplistic and most people I know would say it smacks of ignorance and arrogance.
It's a case of any publicity being good publicity though, because I've just put it on my list of books to check out when I start my Christmas shopping next week…
Kevin, I am only half way through the book, but I really don't agree with you.
Perhaps instead of saying he is this or that you could elaborate more extensively your arguments, illustrating what aspects of his analysis you consider simplistic and ignorant?
I have a degree in International Economics, so I will find the discussion pretty interesting.
Kevin Lyda
Lots of people win awards. But Friedman's view of the world – particularly in that book – is simplistic and ignorant.
Honesty and integrity matter and I don't disagree with what you quote. But please do not make the mistake of viewing him as a serious or informed commentator. His suggestion to "suck on this" is ignorant foreign policy advice. Saying "the next 6 months are critical" for four years is a guide to self-improvement.

One of the biggest things that can come back to haunt you is your past, and things you have said. With the internet thats even truer as things are archived potentially indefinitely.
Wayne Liew
This is indeed a true fact. Living a life on the Internet (offline as well) will mean putting up your reputation to a place where it will be exposed to anything.
Remember Ashwin Khanna? I don't think he will revive his blog or start anything under his own name any more because of the famous $2500 scam that he had done.
Some scammers like the owners of all the splogs are good enough to hide or mask their details bu for some dumb ones, they just leave the ass open for people to slap. There goes their reputation…
I completely agree with you. You are one person, both on-line and off-line. Honesty and integrity above all, but for you, not for something that someday someone could say about you.
I finished "the world is flat" some days ago, and I think it's an interesting book that explain with simple words what is changing and where the world is going to go…I suggest it to everyone who wants to know a "little" more about what's happening around him.
Thomas Sinfield
and it will always come back and haunt you anyway. I think honest and integrity is the most important thing that a person has.
@TRCoach, I agree completely. Honesty and integrity should be there because you actually believe in them.
On the Internet people tent to reason differently though. It is like no-men's land. That was the topic of the post, to give a little reminder that the online world is just an extension to the offline one, and principles apply here all the same.
Kevin, the guy won the Pulitzer Prize, is a columnist for the NY Times and has sold millions of books.
You might not agree with his political orientation, but saying that is "generally an idea" is quite shocking to me.
Kevin Lyda
Of course Thomas Friedman is generally an idiot. So be careful taking his advice.
Honesty should be the course of action because of who you are, not because your actions may be recorded on the internet. There is always one person who knows what I have done and thats who matter's the most, me. To thine own self be true.
Thanks, TRCoach (Tom)
Hell yeah! It's easy to spot lying and devious bloggers and internet marketers. So if a dishonest idea to make quick buck comes to anyone's mind, they should think twice. Because they are putting their reputation and integrity at stake.

Catholic Key Associate Editor
KANSAS CITY — Go ahead and love Pope Francis all you want. But be sure you love the church even more.
That was the advice of Father Sunoj Thomas, a Benedictine priest and native of India who is now in residence at St. Thomas More Parish, and Father Jeffrey Stephan, pastor of St. Sabina Parish in Belton, to diocesan teachers at the annual Education Ministry Formation day at Archbishop O'Hara High School.
"I love Pope Francis, but he is our leader. We are all church. We are all on a faith journey," Father Thomas said.
"If the pope becomes our faith, then we are missing the point. He is telling all of us, 'Here is Jesus Christ. Here is where we need to go. Don't look at me. Look at Jesus,'" he said.
Father Thomas was in Rome when the Conclave of Cardinals elected Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, and he chose the name "Pope Francis" in honor of the humble St. Francis of Assisi.
The scene in St. Peter's Square when the election was announced was right out of Pentecost Sunday, Father Thomas said.
"People who speak different languages were singing the 'Ave Maria' and praying for the cardinals to choose the right person to lead the church. It was raining, but we didn't care. We went to pray for the church," Father Thomas said.
"When they announced his name, the immediate reaction was, 'Who is this?'" he recalled. "Then they announced he would take the name, 'Francis.' Suddenly, the crowd took that name into their hearts and began shouting, 'Viva Papa!'"
Both priests told the teachers that much has been written and spoken in the media that Pope Francis is leading the church in a completely different direction.
But those who say that haven't really been paying attention, the priests said. In fact, Pope Francis is in many ways continuing to build on the foundation set by his predecessors, especially that of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
"Pope Benedict bought the lute. Pope Francis tuned it, and we the people are now enjoying the music," Father Thomas said. "Now we are hearing a beautiful song."
It is a song that is taking the church out of its buildings and into the streets, and particularly to the poor, Father Stephan said.
"Pope Benedict actually set the frame for all things Pope Francis is doing," he said.
"He wants to put the whole focus of the church to be a missionary church, going out and being with the people in the streets," Father Stephan said.
"Pope Francis tells us that if our faith doesn't lead us into the streets, then what good is it?" Father Stephan said.
Soon after his election, Pope Francis led by example. On Holy Thursday, he visited a prison for juvenile offenders and washed the feet of the children incarcerated there, including the feet of a Muslim girl.
"That was the first time that has ever been done," Father Stephan said.
His first trip outside the Vatican was to the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. There he tossed flowers into the sea and prayed for the thousands of immigrants who drowned trying to sail from Africa to Europe in search of a better life.
"Pope Francis says that we as Catholics don't care what country you come from, or whether or not you have documents. We are going to minister to you," Father Stephan said.
"That angered a lot of Italians, and we are having that argument in the United States," he said.
In his first apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis decried increasing income inequality in which the global wealth is concentrated in fewer hands and never seems to reach the poor.
That enraged some pundits in the United States who accused the pope of socialism.
"I don't think they read it," Father Stephan said of the pope's critics.
"This is exactly what Pope Benedict was saying — that the economy should serve the people, and people should not serve the economy," he said.
"Pope Francis has a lot to say, but it's nothing new that the church hasn't been preaching about," he said.
Father Thomas added that Pope Francis' message is essentially one of joy.
"Christ is the joy in our life," he said. "If you are happy, you can share it. If you are not, you cannot share it. So feel the joy and share it."
That message was driven home to the priest by a St. Thomas More family who invited Father Thomas to dinner.
Before eating, each family member was invited to say something good about another member of the family.
When they were done, one of the girls offered this prayer to God: "I want to thank you for giving me a beautiful church," she prayed.
"She learned that from her family," Father Thomas said. "For her, the church was her family, and she shared it. And that is what we are all supposed to do."

The Feminist Library is looking for support as well as wishing to continue welcoming visitors.
A unique collection of over 10,000 books, 700 sets of magazines and over two thousand pamphlets can be found in the building at St George's Circus.
Although the library holds some original suffragette pamphlets, it is largely devoted to the second-wave materials from late 1960s to 1970s.
The collection has been built up over more than thirty years mainly by volunteers who have had to face a recurring financial crisis.
Despite these difficulties it remains the largest library of contemporary feminist material in the UK.
Much of the material is not available elsewhere but, say supporters, by keeping it together future researchers will be able to have a coherent picture of the women's movement in the second half of the 20th-century.
The library's beginning can be traced back to 1976 when the Women's Research and Resources Centre was formed. Its succession of addresses included one in Clerkenwell next to Spare Rib. The library moved from the Embankment to the present Southwark building following the abolition of the GLC in 1987.
"From just stepping into that special, unique collection of books, periodicals, poetry, pamphlets and much more I could feel every inch of the buzz, history, knowledge and energy that keeps me returning," says Natasha Cock who discovered the library in 2007.
"I feel alive and full of purpose and conviction that I'm working to further a set of issues and movements that I believe in."
Supporter Sarah O'Mahoney, who was a librarian, describes the library as "an amazing fiction and non-fiction collection with every key feminist book you could think of".
In 2006 the Feminist Library was instrumental in seeing that the Women's Health Library was saved from being disposed of at a rubbish tip.
In addition to welcoming visitors and readers, the library is looking for more volunteers to help with fundraising and cataloguing.
The Feminist Library has a unique classification system. The current cataloguing project aims not only at preserving the system based on feminist scholarship but also making the catalogue searchable on line. It is intended that eventually rare pamphlets, journals and posters will also be available online.
• The Feminist Library is at 5 Westminster Bridge Road; open Saturday 11am to 5pm.

Regulator Sebi today imposed a penalty of Rs 1 crore on Uppal Devinder Kumar, who was director of PACL Ltd for 50 days in 1998, finding him party to the company's illegal mobilisation of funds from the public.
PACL raised about Rs 49,100 crore through illicit collective investment schemes from large number of investors from 1996 to 2014.
Kumar, who acted as PACL's director for around 50 days in 1998, had sponsored and carried on illicit collective investment scheme (CIS) which continued till 2,315 days, Sebi noted.
The regulator said that Kumar did not take any step to stop the company from raising funds through its unauthorised CIS from public and did not initiate process to refund to the investors.
"I note that the noticee (Kumar) had not taken any steps to ensure compliance with the applicable law during his tenure as director of the company," Sebi Adjudicating Officer Amit Pradhan said.
"Had the noticee taken any step after joining as a director, the same could have resulted into refund to the investors who had already invested in the schemes of the company and could have also stopped or at least reduced the amount illegally mobilised in the schemes of the company, which continued till September 30, 2002," he added.
Also, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said that Kumar was instrumental for the violation committed for 2,315 days.
Accordingly, the regulator levied a monetary penalty of Rs 1 crore on Kumar.The latest penalty follows another order by Sebi in 2015, wherein a fine of Rs 7,269.5 crore was imposed on PACL and its four directors -- Tarlochan Singh, Sukhdev Singh, Gurmeet Singh and Subrata Bhattachary -- for illegal and fraudulent mobilisation of funds from the public.

Hey everybody! We hope that you all enjoyed your Christmas holiday and had a joy celebrating the real reason for the season :)
For today's post, we are super stoked today to be talking about a topic that sooo many of you have been asking about ever since we shared how we light and shoot details for receptions (Part 1, and Part 2). Today we will share with you how we shoot people images at the reception!
There is a TON of ground to cover when it comes to reception lighting, so there will be a few posts to come including some exclusive content with video for those of you who are signed up to our Photography Newsletter. Are you on the IN List? If not, sign up HERE!
OK, so today we are going to keep it simple and build our foundation for shooting the first dance. So, we walk into the reception and here is the scenario (in posts to come we are going to work our way through other scenarios that pose other lighting problems and how to conquer them). We have:
– A dance floor with a stage or DJ in corner of the room
– White ceilings and white walls
– Our super hot couple about to have their first dance
What do we do to get great looking images in this scenario using nothing but our bounce flash that is on our camera?
1. We find the best place to shoot from. The best vantage point to shoot from in this type of situation is NOT where the crowd of people are standing and watching the first dance. Usually, family friends are standing in a half-moon or U shape around the couple and everyone is facing somewhat towards the band or DJ. We don't want to shoot in this direction because nobody wants to see the DJ or bands reaction to the first dance, they want to see the families. So, we always make our way toward the DJ or band and shoot back into the crowd so that they become our backdrop.
2. We try and position ourselves about the same distance from all walls behind and to the side of us. That way, we will have a very similar exposure no matter where our flash bounces off from (we will be shooting the flash on manual). So, if the walls to the side are about 20 feet away, we try and get about 20 feet away from the wall behind us as well. It doesn't have to be exact, just close.
3. We take an overall meter reading (with our in-camera meter set to evaluative metering) and adjust our camera settings so everything on the dance floor and behind the dance floor meters at exactly one stop under-exposed (or minus -1) so that if we took an image with no flash, the background would be a little bit too dark. (We covered this as well in our Reception Lighting Part 2. For it broken out a little more, feel free to re-read the post).
The reason we set our camera one stop underexposed is because we want the background slightly darker than our subjects (twice as dark to be exact). This makes our subjects stand out from the background and helps them to be the focal point.
4. While looking at our histogram, we take a test image of an assistant, standing right where the couple will have their dance, with no flash on. The histogram should look something like this (Nikon cameras may have the histogram reversed – check your manual to determine which direction indicates brightness).
5. Then we turn our flash on manual and power it up to about 1/4 power or so, aim it at a 45 degree angle directly behind us (so that it hits where the ceiling and the wall meet straight behind where we are standing). Take a test shot. Look at the histogram. The histogram will either look exactly the same (not what we want) or will be brighter than it was. We then power our flash up or down until the histogram moves all the way to the bright side, making sure that it does not hit the wall of the histogram (which would indicate that the photo is over-exposed).
Over-exposed histogram:
Correctly exposed histogram:
Our camera is set to manual (we are not changing any camera settings), and the only thing that we are changing changing is our flash power. So, as part of the histogram moves toward the center after we adjust the power for each shot, we know that what it is showing us is our subjects getting brighter. Once it looks close to the one above, we now have a perfect exposure, so we are ready to shoot!
Using your histogram to check for exposure is one of the most solid ways to make sure that you have a good exposure. For those of you who are unsure how to get your histogram to come up in your camera, when you press the "play" button to view the images you just shot (talking to Canon users here), hit your "info" button until the histogram appears. Reading the histogram can be a little tricky, but it is way more accurate than simply looking at the image on the back of your screen.
7. The direction (or lighting style) that the light hits our subjects is critical. We don't need to worry too much about the "style" of lighting that we are creating (more to come on lighting styles in later posts) but need to make sure that we evenly light our couple with every shot. We try and bounce the light up at a 45 degree angle into where the wall and ceiling meet so that the light will come back at a 45 degree angle and light the couples faces first, then the rest of their body. This way, we will get a nice catch light in their eyes and their faces will be the brightest part of our images that we shoot of them.
We always shoot the light so it hits both of their faces evenly, so, if our couple were standing with the groom's back to us and both of them were looking to camera right (like in our mock example below), we would swing the flash around and bounce it off of the right wall (tilted up at a 45 degree angle) so that the light would come back and hit both of their faces.
The flash is on top of the camera, facing camera right so it hits the wall and comes back into our couple's face (the extra lights are showing you the path the light takes). The crowd is ooohing and awwwing in the background and the DJ is mixing it up in the foreground!
Real life examples:
Now, if our couple turns so that they were both parallel to each other with the sides of their faces facing us, then we would bounce the flash directly behind us (and up at a 45 degree angle) so it would hit where the wall and ceiling meet and then come directly back at them and hit both of their faces evenly.
Real life example:
We would do the same thing if they started turning to the left (see image below). We are constantly adjusting the direction of the light so that it hits our couple in both of their faces. If the couple were both facing to camera left and we bounced the light directly behind us, then the person closest to us would end up being brighter than the other, and we don't want that!
That is the trick! Next week, we will be showing you how to properly add a super cool separation (or background light) to your shots to take them from nice, to WOW factor like the ones you see here. This will have a video tutorial and it will be available only on the newsletter. Make sure you are subscribed to the photography newsletter if you want to be a part of the goodness.
In future posts will will show you how to get killer lighting when there are NO walls to bounce light off of and we will be covering how to shoot exit shots that are super dynamic and stylized! Ah, so much fun to share! Stay tuned!

"School's out for summer!"
Although your kids probably share Alice Cooper's enthusiasm, it's important to keep their brains active throughout the summer months.
"Students regress during the summer," says Brianne Kirkby, the Centre Director for the Delta & Tsawwassen Sylvan Learning Centre. "Some by as much as half a grade level. By not using the skills they learned, they begin to lose them."
Summer's a great time for kids to be physically active, explore the outdoors, and get some rest and relaxation after a school year. However, setting time aside for learning ensures a smoother transition from summer to September.
Kirkby shares four tips to keep your child's brain in gear this July and August.
1) Keep kids reading. Reading has the benefit of being entertaining for a child, while also increasing their comprehension and vocabulary. It improves their writing and communication, as they pick up on sentence structure and other skills.
There's plenty to learn from books: empathy, critical thinking, learning new perspectives, and forming ideas and opinions. Arm your kids with books during camping trips and road trips.
2) Make TV time a time for learning.When watching a TV show or a movie with your child, ask them critical thinking questions such as what they think of a particular character's actions, how they'd act in a situation, and why they think a character acts a certain way.
Keeping a child engaged and thinking is particularly crucial for those in higher grades where they'll be expected to be independent learners. It's good to start the process early.
3) Play games that reinforce numeracy skills. Card games where kids have to add up numbers quickly or games like Yahtzee are beneficial in keeping the brain active. Basic arithmetic and computational skills impact a child's motivation to learn more complex math concepts.
Setting aside time for math drills and practice activities is also very helpful.
4) Science in nature.Use hikes and camping trips to reinforce topics your child learned in science class. Lightly quizzing them and pointing things out, such as tree types, will keep them engaged and thinking.
If you'd like to learn how the Delta & Tsawwassen Sylvan Learning Centre's programming can hep your child, visit their website, or call 604-943-6022.
