To accompany the chicken savour Epicure's Spinach Margherita Pasta using the Margherita Sauce Mix which is a light, fresh blend of onion, tomato, leek and herb tomato based favourite . The mix is perfect for pastas, sauces and soups as well.
What is Valentine's Day without a luscious chocolaty dessert!!!!! Dark Belgian Chocolate is considered the world's best. These easy-melt, bite-sized chocolate buttons make quick, silky chocolate sauces and mouth-watering cookies, cakes and brownies. It would be perfect to prepare Epicure's Poached Pears with Maple Chocolate Sauce. Or how's about a silky Epicure's Tiramisu Parfaits with the Tiramasu Dip Mix. Tiramisu literally means "cheer me up!" Be cheered by this rich blend of chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and vanilla.
Helene of La Cuisine d'Helene says, "I am so impressed with the quality of the Epicure Selections products. I am so glad that we have a Canadian Company that we can be proud of.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 4, 2009) - The ETSU women's soccer team poured out its best offensive performance of the season with a 3-0 victory over in-state Atlantic Sun Conference rival Lipscomb Sunday at the rain soaked Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
With the win the Bucs improve to 3-9-0 overall, with a 2-2 mark in A-Sun action, while the Lady Bisons fall to 3-9-0, with a 1-3 clip in league competition.
"Lipscomb is a team that fights hard to the end, so I'm happy to get out of this weekend with at least three points," said head coach Heather Henson. "In a critical match today, our players were able to play with great effort and really keep Lipscomb on their heels with our offensive pressure."
After a Lipscomb foul early in the first half, junior midfielder Kelly Brinkman (Clearwater, Fla.), connected home with a strong direct kick from 18 yards out, for a quick 1-0 ETSU lead in the fifth minute.
The lead remained a 1-0 through the intermission as Lipscomb and ETSU tied with six shots a piece in the opening frame.
After neither team opened up the offense in the first 10 minutes of second half action, ETSU responded as freshman forward Tori Head (Kingsport, Tenn.) picked off a pass from Lipscomb keeper Ally Marler. After the speedy first-year player gained possession, Head then crossed a beautiful pass to junior forward Rachel Van Horn (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), who found the back of the net for her first goal of the season, in the 56th minute.
With its two goal advantage intact, ETSU wouldn't let up as senior forward Jordan Monty (Mesquite, Texas), fired a quick shot that bounced off Marler. After the rebound off of Monty's shot stayed in the box, Head crashed hard into the offensive zone, tapping in the insurance score in the 84th minute.
"Like our first two goals today, Tori's score was a complete team effort," said Henson. "We've talked about cleaning up any first shot attempts that might rebound off and Tori did just that. All our players did a great job creating a lot of havoc with the pressure they put on Lipscomb's back defenders. Anytime the ball was played out our midfielders and defenders were able to keep possession and fire the ball back into that third of the field."
Individually, Head led the Bucs with four points on the day (one goal, one assist), while sophomore keeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.) posted her second shutout of the season with seven saves.
With the win ETSU now sits with six points among A-Sun teams. The Bucs return to action with a 7:00 p.m., contest Thursday at Campbell.
"One thing we know about the A-Sun is anyone can beat anybody at anytime," Henson said. "One of the strengths that this conference boast is the great diversity the league has from top-to-bottom. Because of that it's going to be interesting to see how this last month of the season plays out."

Details of Detroit Red Wings and the Ticket Luck value
Detroit Red Wings
Detroit Red Wings is the ice hockey team with the most number of Stanley Cup Championship Titles (11). It is associated with the National Hockey League representing the Central Division and is one of the original six teams of NHL.
The history of the team dates back to the time of the old Western Hockey League in the mid twenties, when Victoria Cougars was the member of NHL till their roster was completely sold out to the Detroit group. The group showed up as an NHL franchise in 1926. It first contended the championship with the name of Detroit Cougars. Initially the team's performance wasn't up to the mark. Although it won a Stanley Cup in 1925, it couldn't pull off the season of 1926-1927 with the same perfection and made the worst record of 12-28-4. It wasn't just a bad performance in the championship but the team was in debt of $80,000. Just at that time the team was introduced to a new and exceptionally talented coach Jack Adams. He had the experience of playing in the Old Pacific League and also in the NHL. The Detroit Cougars under his training played in the New Olympia Stadium for the 1927-1928 seasons. The team made playoffs for the first time in his tenure that lasted till the season of 1962-1963. Adams was followed by Sid Abel for training the team. The tenures of both the coaches proved to be good for the team in terms of their performance.
The name of the team was changed from Detroit Cougars to Detroit Red Wings over the time. The team made major tradeoffs in the lineup of its players. The extraordinarily skilled Chris Chelios of the Chicago Blackhawks joined the team. This was good news for the team. Soon the player was accompanied by the ex-Dallas star, Pat Verbeek. The joining of these two players brought in hope for the team to outshine others in the championship and they certainly met the expectations. 1999-2000 was a milestone season for the team. The post season honors awarded Steve Yzerman with the Selke Trophy and chose Nicklas Lidstrom and Brendan Shanahan as First Team All Stars. Playing with the same valor the team made the best record in the league for the next season of 2001.
As a couple of changes brought the team into the lime light, Detroit Red Wings made some more necessary changes in its lineup. Future Hall of Famers, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille and Dominik Hasek were added to the list of expert players. This change brought in best 166 points and crushed Carolina Hurricanes in five games of Stanley Cup Finals in 2002.
Parallel to the changes in the team's lineup, the coaches kept on changing as well as their tenure ended. The 2000-2002 seasons of incredible wins were played in the tenure of Dominik Hasek and Curtis Joseph.
The ups and downs in performance of the team have managed to keep the suspense element in tact in their championships since inception. It had the second best record in the Western Conference and third best overall but still the team did not play well in competition with Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in playoffs. The players that contributed to the team's fame with their professionalism and great play include Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan and Darren McCarty among many others. For their outstanding efforts and incredible efforts, they were awarded with Masterton Trophy, King Clancy Memorial Award and NHL Foundation Player Award by the heads.

Quick Facts

Population: 22,995
Density: 3,900/sq mi
Zip Codes: 63119
Education & Progress
As a suburban municipality, Webster Groves has its origins as five separate communities along adjacent railroad lines. Webster, Old Orchard, Webster Park, Tuxedo Park, and Selma merged in 1896 to implement public services and develop a unified city government.[6] Since then, Webster Groves' tree-lined streets and abundance of single family homes have continued to attract people to the area as a "great place to live, work and play," not solely for the wealthy commuter suburb that early developers envisioned but for families that cut across all socioeconomic lines. The geographic and economic diversity of Webster Groves is evident in its variety of neighborhoods.
The Webster Groves High School Statesmen maintain the oldest high school football rivalry west of the Mississippi River with the Pioneers of Kirkwood High School.

Amentges needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
We are a software as a service startup company looking to create a web presence. We have purchased a wordpress template (develsource.com) and like the color layout and would like a logo for develsource to match accordingly. The current logo "Biz Solutions" is just part of the template and is what would be getting replaced with the new logo.
The target audience is IT shops looking to outsource some of their development tasks, along with develsource being the parent company of many other small brands (if we release a saas product we will most likely have a standalone website for that), this site is primarily for the parent organization.
Main requirements are just something that will look good with the theme. We are not stuck on the capitalization of words yet it could be DevelSource or develsource or Develsource, I kind of like how the initial logo is broken up into two colors Devel being one and Source in another color however this is not a requirement. Feel free to design what you think looks good and would attract people. We also are planning to use this logo for business cards and letter head / fax sheet. If those could also be provided with that would be icing on the cake.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who led the Ducks to the 2007 Stanley Cup championship after winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the losing goaltender in the 2003 Final, will announce his retirement next week, according to a report from Canada.
RDS, the French-Canadian sports network, first reported the story Friday.
Giguere, 37, played his final game at the Honda Center while with the Colorado Avalanche, sharing a memorable final lap around the ice with Ducks future Hall of Fame right wing Teemu Selanne, who also played his last regular-season game April 13.
"Teemu is such a class act … it just comes natural for him to do nice things for people," Giguere said after fans saluted both players with thunderous applause. "Everybody loves Teemu. I'll be forever grateful for what he did. I almost felt guilty because I know this was his night.
"It was nice to share a bit of it."
Giguere won 206 games in 447 regular-season contests with the Ducks from 2000-01 through 2009-10, both club records. He spent the past three seasons with the Avalanche and also played with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames and was the last active member of the Hartford Whalers.
He was named the MVP of the 2003 playoffs after leading the Ducks to the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the New Jersey Devils in seven games. He was 15-6 with a 1.62 goals-against average, a .945 save percentage and five shutouts, including three in a row in the Western Conference finals.
Silfverberg re-signs
Right wing Jakob Silfverberg signed a one-season, $850,000 contract with the Ducks. The 23-year-old Swede was the key piece in the Ducks' blockbuster trade last summer that sent high-scoring left wing Bobby Ryan to the Ottawa Senators.
Silfverberg recorded four goals and one assist in his first four games with the Ducks last season. He finished 2013-14 with 23 points (10 goals and 13 assists), setting career highs for points, assists and games played (52) and matching his best for goals.

(CBS News) MIAMI- The only mystery left in the presidential election is Florida. Votes there are still too close to project a winner.
Ninety-seven percent of the vote has been counted and there is only a 45,000-vote difference between Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama of the total 8 million votes cast.
Whoever wins Florida won't make a difference. Even if Gov. Romney were to win, it would not nearly be enough for him to take over 270 electoral votes.
There are still tens of thousands of absentee and provisional ballots still being counted.
Some voters in Miami waited up to six hours to cast their ballot.
"Is it worth it? No it's not worth it," one voter told CBS News."It's ridiculous. They didn't plan correctly."

Complete 2012 election results
Miami-Dade was one of nine counties still tallying votes this morning. Election officials blamed high turnout and multi-page ballots that included 11 state constitutional amendments.
"There's three pages, front and back, which equals six pages, actually, of ballot," said Earl Lennard, the supervisor of elections in Hillsborogh County. "It takes a long time to process that ballot. It also takes a longer period of time for the voter to vote that ballot."
The vote count was complicated by 4.5 million early voting and absentee ballots filed statewide -- the most ever. In Tampa, thousands of absentee ballots were submitted just ahead of a 7 p.m. deadline
"Every vote does count, and we must count every vote," Lennard said. "We would rather do it right, than have to rush at 2:00 in the morning and not have it correctly done."
The Florida election won't be certified until November 20th, after county canvassing boards deliver their results and the deadline passes for military overseas ballots.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate moved toward passage Wednesday of a $700 billion financial industry bailout as opposition to the package among House Republican conservatives appeared to be softening, thanks partly to a provision increasing insurance for people's deposits.
Congressional leaders from both parties said they were hopeful that a new version of the rescue plan could be cleared late this week after its stunning defeat that sparked a historic sell-off on Monday. House Democratic leaders tentatively planned a Friday vote.
One House Republican who joined two-thirds of GOP lawmakers Monday in voting "no" indicated he's reconsidering. Others were also pondering a switch, according to congressional officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they haven't publicly committed to changing their votes.
Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona, a leading conservative, told a Phoenix radio station Wednesday that he'd be "inclined to vote for the bill" if it raised the cap on federal deposit insurance and changed a rule that forces companies to devalue assets on their balance sheets to reflect the price they can get on the market.
The revised package to be voted on in the Senate, which adds $100 billion in tax breaks for businesses and the middle class, temporarily increases the deposit insurance cap from the current $100,000 to $250,000. The Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday it was easing the accounting rules in some cases.
In a statement Wednesday, Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, the minority leader, called both "a victory for House Republicans."
Congressional leaders said the changes should improve the package's chances-a message they hoped wouldn't get lost on a convulsive Wall Street.
Some also saw heightened odds for the measure based on a flood of e-mails, calls and letters from constituents chiding Congress for inaction on the financial crisis. The feedback indicated greater public acceptance of the measure-if not a collective embrace-by voters about five weeks before the elections.
House Republican Whip Roy Blunt said calls and e-mails to congressional offices that were running about 90 percent against the measure earlier now are coming in about a "50-50" pace.
Even a 50-50 proposition might have been attractive on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrials at times lost more than 200 points in their third triple-digit move this week. Credit markets remained extremely tight and stocks also fell on a report that an index of manufacturing activity fell significantly in September.
President Bush planned to call lawmakers ahead of the crucial vote,
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his GOP rival, John McCain, planned to fly to Washington for the Senate vote, as did Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, adding to the political intrigue, and the White House continued to lobby hard, both publicly and privately.
At the daily briefing Wednesday, spokesman Tony Fratto took the unusual step of citing the New York Times, as well as papers across the country, that carried stories on the tightening credit squeeze on small businesses, municipal projects and jobs. "It is affecting real Americans out there," he said.
The legislation essentially would allow the government to buy bad mortgages and other devalued assets held by troubled financial institutions. If successful, advocates of the plan believe, that would help lift a major weight off the already sputtering national economy.
Officials in both parties predicted the measure would pass the Senate by a wide margin.
Behind the scenes, the president was conferring with Treasury chief Henry Paulson and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke to get an update and to plot strategy. The presidential spokesman told reporters that Bush's calls "so far have all been very positive. We feel that there's a sense of momentum."
Fratto called the increased deposit insurance "an important improvement" to the bill, and also welcomed the added tax breaks, calling them "helpful" despite the White House's initial desire for a clean bill.
Scrambling to revive a package that met with bitter derision among constituents who viewed it as a giveaway to Wall Street, the Senate added a number of sweeteners designed to please rural lawmakers, including disaster aid for hurricane-battered states and money for rural schools. The package was hitching a ride on a popular measure to require health plans for 51 or more employees to give equal treatment to mental health or addiction if they cover such illnesses.
Hoyer said, however, he was concerned that the tax additions could complicate the chances of final congressional passage when the legislation comes back to the House floor for a vote.
There are worries that fiscally conservative House Democrats known as "Blue Dogs" will be repulsed by the tax breaks, and could vote no because they have believe cuts should be bankrolled with spending cuts or other tax increases.
The tax plan passed the Senate last week on a 93-2 vote. It included AMT relief, $8 billion in tax relief for those hit by natural disasters in the Midwest, Texas and Louisiana, and some $78 billion in renewable energy incentives and extensions of expiring tax breaks. All told, it would cost about $112 billion over five years.
In a compromise worked out with Republicans, the bill does not pay for the AMT and disaster provisions, but does have revenue offsets for part of the energy and extension measures.

What Auto Focus method does the FE-110 use?
The FE-110 supports iESP autofocus. In this mode, the camera determines what subject to give focus. The camera detects the area of greatest contrast (generally, this will be the border where your subject meets the background) and focuses on that area. Even when the subject is not in the center of the frame, focusing is possible.
Is it possible to manually focus the FE-110?
Occasionally it is desirable to have the ability to manually focus a digital camera. A good example is shooting through the windows of a tour bus on a rainy day. The camera may choose to focus on the raindrops on the window rather than the actual subject.
Although the FE-110 does not offer a manual focus mode, you can use the Focus Lock feature to force the camera to focus on your intended subject.
First, choose a test subject that is as close to the camera as your intended subject. Compose the shot in the LCD monitor. Press the shutter button halfway down; the camera will automatically focus on the test subject. The focus will be locked at this distance until you release the shutter button or take the picture. Re-compose your shot using the intended target, and then press the shutter button all the way down.
TIP: If you see a blinking green light in the upper left of the LCD monitor when composing your shot, the focus and exposure are not adjusted properly. Try locking the focus again.
Does the FE-110 support a Macro mode?
Yes. The FE-110's Macro mode has an operating range of 7.9" (.2 meters) to 19.7" (.5 meters). This means that your subject must be between 7.9" and 19.7" away from the camera in order to be in focus.
To use Macro mode, first press the shooting mode button (red camera icon). Next, press the Right arrow toward the icon of the flower. This will launch the Macro mode menu. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the Macro icon (flower), and then press the [OK] button to activate the selection.
Does the FE-110 support a Super Macro mode?
Yes. The FE-110's Super Macro mode has an operating distance of .8" (20mm). The zoom is fixed in Super Macro mode, and the flash is disabled.
To use Super Macro mode, first press the shooting mode button (red camera icon). Next, press the Right arrow toward the icon of a flower. This will launch the Macro mode menu. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the Super Macro icon (flower preceded by the letter "s"), and then press the [OK] button to activate the selection.
What metering mode does the FE-110 offer?
The FE-110 supports metering by center-weighted average. This mode provides the average metering between the subject and the background lighting, placing more weight on the subject at the center of the frame.
Can I change ISO sensitivity in the FE-110?
No. The FE-110 automatically sets ISO sensitivity in all shooting modes. Its range is equivalent in 35mm photography to ISO 64-320.
Can I change the white balance in the FE-110?
No. The FE-110 automatically sets the White Balance in all shooting modes.
What software is bundled with the FE-110? What can it do?

What kind of batteries should I use to power my FE-110?
The FE-110 accepts two "AA" nickel metal hydride or alkaline batteries. Lithium battery packs (such as Olympus' CR-V3) and "AA" manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with the FE-110.
NiMH batteries are more economical in the long run because they are rechargeable. If you choose to use alkaline batteries, purchase products with capacity ratings of 2300 mAh (milliamp-hours) or higher and that state on the label they are designed for high-drain electronic devices such as digital cameras.
Olympus brand NiMH batteries are intended for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Do not use these batteries with any other device.
Does Olympus sell a battery charger compatible with my FE-110?
Olympus offers a NiMH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU), which includes the BU-400 NiMH Quick Charger and four AA-size 2300mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries. The charger can hold up to four AA or two AA and two AAA batteries and can charge them simultaneously.
The kit (Item #200899) can be purchased from Olympus' online store. To order, click here.
How long will it take to recharge my NiMH batteries?
The BU-400 NiMH Quick Charger can recharge two AA NiMH batteries in about 115 minutes, and it can charge four in about 4 Ľ hours. Brand new NiMH batteries come partially charged, so the first time you charge them should take less time than subsequent charges.
Does Olympus sell an AC adapter compatible with my FE-110?
Olympus offers a 110/120 volt AC adapter (E-7AU). It is ideal for conserving battery life and is especially useful when downloading files to a computer, for extended work in a studio, during printing, or when viewing images while connected to your TV or VCR.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the camera's internal settings or functions. Be sure to read the instruction manual for the AC adapter.
To purchase the E-7AU AC adapter (Item #200751-410) from Olympus' online store, click here.
Are my rechargeable batteries being charged when the AC adapter is plugged in to the FE-110?
No. When the optional AC adapter is connected, power is drawn from the AC current even if there are batteries in the camera. Rechargeable batteries are not recharged when the AC adapter is in use.
Olympus recommends using the BU-400 NiMH Quick Charger to charge your NiMH batteries for use in the FE-110.
Do I need to have a computer to share my images and movies?
No. You can show off your images and movies by using the LCD monitor or by connecting the camera to a television with the included video output cable. There are also many photo-processing centers that can make traditional photo prints from your digital files.
Note: Any shots recorded to the camera's internal memory must first be transferred to a supported memory card in order to be printed at a commercial photo-processing center. Use the BACKUP feature to transfer data from internal memory to a memory card.
To realize the full capabilities of your digital camera, a computer is recommended.
Where can I find the documentation for my camera?
The FE-110 is packaged with a printed Quick Start Guide, a Basic Manual and an Advanced Manual. The printed manual that is included with the camera is a basic manual that introduces the camera's features and offers an overview of care and usage tips. The Advanced Manual is in PDF format; it can be found on the CD-ROM included with the camera. Adobe Acrobat software, which is also provided on CD-ROM, is necessary to view the PDF file.
The manuals can also be downloaded from the product support page for this model on the Olympus web site.
Should I charge NiMH batteries before using them in the FE-110?
Must my NiMH batteries be completely drained before I charge them?
It depends on the batteries' manufacturer. Repeatedly recharging Olympus brand NiMH batteries before using up their capacity will shorten the life of the batteries per charge.
Can I use non-Olympus brand xD-Picture Card media in the FE-110?
The FE-110 will accept third-party xD-Picture Card media. However, Olympus brand xD-Picture Card media are required to use the [PANORAMA] camera function and certain image-enhancing effects available in the included Olympus Master software.
How do I know if the FE-110 is recording to its internal memory or to my flash memory card?
The internal memory and a removable memory card cannot be used at the same time. When a supported memory card is inserted into the camera, captured images and movies are no longer written to the internal memory. To use the internal memory, you must remove the memory card.
The FE-110 indicates which memory mode is active by displaying a memory status icon on the LCD screen. It will show [IN] when it is using internal memory and [xD] when it is working with xD-Picture Card™ media.
In all shooting modes, the memory status icon will appear in the lower right corner of the LCD screen, just above the remaining capacity value. In Playback mode, the icon will appear along the top of the LCD screen.
Can I move images from the FE-110's internal memory to a flash memory card?
Yes, the [BACK UP] feature will transfer images from the camera's internal memory to an xD-Picture Card™ flash memory card. It does not, however, delete those images from the internal memory.
To perform a backup, insert an xD-Picture Card into the camera and then turn the camera on. Press the [MENU] button, located beneath the LCD monitor. Use the Up or Down arrow to navigate to [BACK UP]. Press the Right arrow to advance to the next menu. Use the Up or Down arrow to select [YES]. Press the [OK] button to start the file transfer.
The backup procedure takes some time. It is recommended that you fully charge your battery before performing a backup.
Note: It is not possible to copy images from the media card to the camera's internal memory.
Which image quality mode should I use when I shoot my images?
The best way to determine which image quality mode is best for any shot is to decide – before you shoot – how you will use the captured image.
The default HQ mode is ideal if you plan to print your images in the standard 4" x 6" snapshot size. It's great for scrapbooking or for printing from the kiosks often found at drugstores, camera stores or retailers with on-site photo-processing labs.
If you are planning to e-mail your images or post them to a web site, use an image quality mode with a lower resolution, such as SQ1. The images will still look great when viewed on a computer, and their smaller file sizes will allow you to store more images on your media card.
Generally speaking, you should only use the highest-quality option if you are planning to print the images larger than 4" x 6" or if you intend to use them for professional or commercial purposes.
How can I review my pictures in the camera?
By default, the FE-110 will briefly display the last image taken after the shutter button is released. If you would like a longer look, press the playback mode button (green arrow icon). You will then have three options:
How can I change the number of images displayed at one time in Index playback mode?
The number of images is determined by the Index setting on the Playback menu. To change this value, first press the Playback mode button (green arrow icon), located between the LCD monitor and the mode dial. Next, press the Menu button (centered beneath the LCD). Use the Up or Down arrows to scroll through the menu to the Index item (grid icon). Press the Right arrow to activate the Index options submenu. Use the Up or Down arrow to select either 4 or 9 images, and then press the [OK] button to activate your selection. Finally, press the Menu button to exit the menu.
How do I set the date and time on the FE-110?
Press the [MENU] button. Use the arrow pad to navigate to the clock icon. Press the Right arrow to advance to the next screen. Use the Up and Down arrow to select a date format, and then press the Right arrow. Set the month, day, year, hour and minutes using the following procedure: Use the Up and Down arrows to select values, and press the Right arrow to advance to the next item. (The FE-110 uses a 24-hour clock.) When all information has been entered, press the [OK] button to set the values. Press the [MENU] button once more to exit the menu.
The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left without batteries for approximately one day. Custom settings may be canceled more quickly if the batteries were only loaded into the camera for a short time before being removed. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.
How do I change the display language of the menus?
Press the [MENU] button. Use the arrow pad to navigate to the icon of the head and word balloon. Press the Right arrow to enter the language menu. Use the Up or Down arrow to choose a new language, and then press the [OK] button to enable the new language. Press the [MENU] button once more to exit the menu.
Is there a way to add additional display languages to my camera?
The FE-110 has built-in support for four languages: English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. A fifth language of your choice can be added via a firmware download. There is no charge associated with this download.
To add a language, you must first install onto a computer the Olympus Master software that was packaged with your camera. After installation, use the included USB cable to connect the camera to the computer. Launch Olympus Master and click on the "Browse Images" icon. Next, select "Update Camera" from the "Online Services" menu. (An Internet connection is required for this function.) The following warning will appear during the installation of the additional language: "Once the firmware is updated, it cannot be returned to the previous menu."
The original languages will remain in the camera, and the new one will be appended to the bottom of the menu. Once added, the new language can be enabled just as you would choose any other supported language. If you later wish to add another language, you may exchange the fifth language for any one of the other languages available via the firmware download by repeating this process.
How do I adjust the exposure value (EV) in the FE-110?
First, press the shooting mode button (red camera icon). Next, press the Up arrow in the direction of the exposure compensation icon ("+" and "-" signs against a background split diagonally between black and white). Then use the arrow pad to make the image brighter (Right arrow) or darker (Left arrow). The value can be adjusted +/- 2 EV in 1/3 EV increments. Press the [OK] button to apply the setting.
Note: Exposure compensation may not produce the desired brightness on the subject if the area in the frame surrounding the subject is extremely bright or extremely dark.
Will my custom settings be retained after I turn off the power?
Yes. The camera holds current settings, including any changes you have made, when the power is turned off. In the absence of battery power, the settings will be retained for approximately one day. After that, the original factory default settings will be restored.
If you prefer the original factory default settings, you can use the [RESET] function to restore them. To do so, first press the shooting mode button (red camera icon). Then press the Down arrow in the direction of the word "RESET." The [RESET] menu appears. Use the Up or Down arrow to choose the [RESET] button, and then press the [OK] button. This will cause the factory default settings to be restored.
Can the FE-110 capture audio along with my still images and movies?
No. The FE-110 does not have a microphone, so it cannot record audio with your still images or movies.
How do I erase an image that I do not wish to keep?
First, press the Playback mode button (green arrow). Use the arrow pad to scroll through your saved images and select the one you wish to delete. Then press the Erase button. It is the leftmost button beneath the LCD monitor, and it features an icon of a trashcan in red ink. Next, use the Up or Down arrow to select "Yes." Finally, press the [OK] button to erase the selected image or movie file.
Erased files cannot be retrieved, so use this feature carefully.
How do I erase all my images at once?
The FE-110 includes an [ALL ERASE] function to quickly and conveniently remove all files saved to the internal memory or to a media card. To use this feature, first press the Playback mode button (green arrow). Next, press the [MENU] button. Use the Up or Down arrow to navigate to [CARD SETUP]. Press the Right arrow to advance to the next menu. Use the Up or Down arrow to select [ALL ERASE], and then press the [OK] button. All unprotected images and movie files will be removed.
What can I do to prevent accidental file deletion?
The Protect feature prevents selected files from being deleted even when an [ERASE] or [ALL ERASE] function is performed. However, protected files will be deleted by a [FORMAT] operation.
To protect a file, first press the Playback mode button (green arrow icon). Use the Left and Right arrows to scroll through your saved files and find the one you wish to protect. Press the [MENU] button. Use the Up or Down arrow to select the Protect icon (key). Press the Right arrow to advance to the next screen. Use the Up or Down arrow to select [ON], and then press the [OK] button to apply protection to the selected file. Use the Up or Down arrow to select [EXIT], and then press the [OK] button again. Finally, press the [MENU] button to exit the playback menu.
When a file is protected, a green key icon appears atop its preview whenever that file is displayed on the camera's LCD screen. The key is displayed even when the camera is set to Index mode.
I purchased the FE-110, and the box was missing a component. How do I get a replacement?
Please visit the Olympus Customer Service web site to report the missing component. Click here, fill out the requested fields, and then click Send to submit your request for assistance form. Please allow up to 48 hours for our Customer Service Representatives to respond via e-mail to your question.
The FE-110 doesn't have a flash memory card packaged in the box. Why not?
The FE-110 has 28MB of built-in flash memory and does not need a memory card to function. It will accept xD-Picture Card media in the following capacities: 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB.
The FE-110 does not recognize my flash memory card. What can I do?
First, refer to the xD-Picture Card™ Compatibility Chart to verify that the card is supported in your model. If the card is not supported, return it to the store where you purchased it.
The FE-110 may not recognize a non-Olympus brand memory card or a card that has been formatted on another device, such as a card reader or personal computer. As a general rule, xD-Picture Card media should only be formatted in the camera. Card readers should only be used to copy files from the memory card to an external device.
You may be able to use the card with this camera if you format it in the camera.
Warning: Formatting a memory card will delete all content on the card.
When I put a flash memory card into my camera and turn it on, I get a "Card Error" message. What can I do?
This message occurs when the camera is unable to recognize the memory card or when an attempt to format a card fails.
If you see this message after inserting a brand new card, refer to the xD-Picture Card™ Compatibility Chart to verify that the card is supported in your model. If the card is not supported, return it to the store where you purchased it.
If the card is supported, it may need to be cleaned. Wipe the gold contacts of the card with alcohol using a soft cloth or tissue. When the contacts are dry, insert the card and turn the camera on.
If the Card Error message still appears, remove the card and insert a different (supported) card into the camera. If the camera reads the second card, then the camera is working properly and the problem lies with the original card.
You may be able to use the card if you format it in the camera.
If you receive this error message after a failed attempt to format the memory card, the card may be defective. For assistance, contact Olympus' Customer Service and Repair Center using any of the following methods:
Phone: 800-622-6372
E-mail: email@example.com

Note: Olympus does not offer a service to recover data from corrupted memory cards; however, a number of companies do offer this service. In addition, commercial software now exists that may help you to retrieve files from a corrupt card. Olympus does not endorse any particular brand, but you can find many applicable products by searching the Internet for "Digital image recovery."
I am no longer able to display images and movies that I saved to my camera's internal memory. I can only see those that were saved to my memory card. How can I see my other files?
When a memory card has been inserted into the camera, the pictures in the internal memory cannot be played back. Turn off the camera. Pull out the memory card. Then you will be able to view photos in your camera's internal memory.
I just put a {new / fully charged} battery in my FE-110. Periodically, I have noticed that the screen goes dark while I am setting up my subject. Why is this happening?
If you are setting up a still life or panorama portrait or are otherwise delayed while composing your picture, you may encounter Sleep Mode. The FE-110 includes a power save feature to prolong battery life. The camera will automatically enter Sleep Mode and stop operating if not used after a specified amount of time passes.
To set the time period after which the camera will enter Sleep Mode, press the [MENU] button. Use the Up or Down arrow to select the [SLEEP] menu item, and then press the Right arrow to view its menu options. Use the Up or Down arrow to select the time period (30 seconds, or 1, 3, or 10 minutes). Press the [OK] button to apply the setting. Press the [MENU] button to exit the menu.
If the camera is not used for 15 minutes after entering Sleep mode, the camera automatically retracts the lens and shuts off.
To "wake" the camera and resume shooting, press the shooting mode button (red camera icon), the playback mode button (green arrow icon) or the shutter button.
The camera will not enter Sleep mode while it is connected to a printer via the included USB cable. This is a safeguard to prevent the camera entering Sleep mode during data transfer to the printer, which could result in loss of data or damage to the camera or media card.
What should I do if I cannot focus on a particular subject?
Try the FOCUS LOCK feature. This feature allows you to focus on a subject roughly the same distance away from you as the intended subject and then re-compose your picture without losing that focus.
First, choose a test subject that is as close to the camera as your intended subject. Compose the shot in the LCD monitor. Press the shutter button halfway down; the camera will automatically focus on the test subject. The focus will be locked at the appropriate distance until you release the shutter button or take the picture. Re-compose your shot using the intended target, and then press the shutter button all the way down.
TIP: If you see a blinking green light on the monitor when composing your shot, the focus and exposure are not adjusted properly. Try locking the focus again.
A small, bright dot always appears in the same spot on all my downloaded images. What can I do?
This is caused by the failure of one or more pixels on the CCD. Run the Pixel Mapping feature to check and adjust the CCD sensor and image-processing functions. Wait about one minute after taking or viewing pictures to allow the Pixel Mapping function to perform properly. If the camera is turned off during pixel mapping, you must start over.
To do so, first press the shooting mode button (red camera icon). Next, press the [Menu] button. Use the arrow pad to select [PIXEL MAPPING], then press the Right arrow to advance to the next menu. Use the Up or Down arrow to select [START]. Press the [OK] button to activate pixel mapping.
Once the process has completed, the bright dot should no longer appear in images you subsequently capture and download.
To learn more about how Pixel Mapping works, click here.
I want to use a camera function, but it is not accessible from the menu. What is wrong?
The following functions are disabled unless an xD-Picture Card™ is inserted into the camera's media slot: [BACK UP], [PANORAMA].
When I print images on my printer or take them to my local photo lab for 4"x6" prints, the top and bottom of my pictures are cut off. Why is this happening?
The FE-110 shoots in a default aspect ratio of 4:3. A 4"x6" print has an aspect ratio of 3:2. Therefore, an image taken with the FE-110 contains more information than can fit in a 4"x6" frame. When the image is enlarged and centered in the 3:2 frame, a little bit of the image is cut off the top and bottom.
I can rotate some of my pictures in Playback mode, but not all of them. Why not?
The images that cannot be rotated may be Protected, or they not have been taken by this camera.
The [ROTATE] tool alters a digital file by modifying its layout. However, the Protect tool prohibits changes to Protected digital files. Therefore, Protected files cannot be rotated.
If you wish to rotate a Protected image, you must first remove the Protection. Then you can use the [ROTATE] tool to turn the image. You can re-apply the Protection to the file after it has been rotated.
Images taken by other cameras can be input to the FE-110 via removable media cards. Such pictures can be identified by their Playback size. The images will appear smaller in the LCD monitor (e.g. not full-screen) and will be surrounded by a black border. These images may not be able to be rotated.
Movie files cannot be rotated. Movies are identified by the green movie projector icons that appear over the files when the camera is in Playback mode.
Why do I get blurry images?
Blurry images are often the result of movement during image capture. Either the camera was not held still – a phenomenon called "camera shake" – or the subject was moving and the camera did not fire with a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action.
Click here for additional suggestions on how to prevent blurry pictures.
Why are my images blurry when I shoot in Night Scene mode?
Night Scene mode is designed to help you capture better exposures outdoors in low-light conditions. The camera holds the shutter open longer than it would in other situations, allowing more light to reach the CCD. Because the shutter is open longer, it is very important to keep both the camera and the subject still. Camera motion during image capture will result in blurry pictures.
Click here for more information on Night Scene mode.
In portraits taken indoors or in low light, my subject's eyes are unnaturally red. How can I prevent this from happening?
The effect known as "red-eye" occurs when the light emitted from the camera flash bounces off the back of the subject's retina. The red color is picked up from the blood vessels behind the eyes and displayed in the resulting image.
To avoid or minimize red-eye when shooting in low light with the flash, use Red-Eye Reduction mode. In this mode, the flash fires a few bursts before the shot is actually taken. The bursts of light cause the pupils of your subject's eyes to contract, providing a smaller angle through which the reflected light can escape. The result is that the effect of the reflected light is less noticeable in your captured images.
To enable Red-Eye Reduction mode, first press the shooting mode button (red camera icon), and then press the flash mode button (lightning bolt icon). Press the Down arrow button to select the button with the eye icon. Press the [OK] button to activate the mode.
How can I correct "red-eye" in my existing images?
The Olympus Master software bundled with the FE-110 has a feature that can remove or minimize the effects of "red-eye" in existing images. It can even be used to remove or minimize green or blue reflections commonly seen in the eyes of wildlife.
To use the tool, launch Olympus Master and click on the Browse Images icon. Select a picture to edit and then press the Edit button on the menu. (A dialog will appear; click on the [OK] button to close it.) Press the Red-Eye icon on the toolbar. A window will open on the right side of the application. Follow the instructions in this window to correct the red-eye in your selected image. When finished, press the Apply button.
Press the Back button to return to the Browse view.
Why do the whites (or blacks) in my pictures look so gray?
Your camera's exposure system evaluates light reflecting from your subject and selects an aperture and shutter speed combination that will represent your subject in an approximate average tone (not too bright and not too dark). Pros refer to this as "18% gray." This works well for almost all your shooting situations except when your subject happens to be darker or lighter than an average tone.
The FE-110 allows you to override the exposure value in order to intentionally brighten or darken your images. Click here for more information on when and how to manually adjust the camera's exposure value.
When I try to transfer images FROM CAMERA to Olympus Master, I receive an error. What can I do?
When you attempt to transfer images from the FE-110 to the Olympus Master software on your computer, you may see the following error:
"The software is unable to find an Olympus digital camera connected to a USB port on your computer. Would you like to search again?"
To correct this situation, the camera's firmware needs to be updated. The procedure is as follows:
Note: If you do not perform the firmware update, it may still be possible to transfer your images from the FE-110 to the computer. After connecting your camera to the computer and launching Olympus Master, click on [TRANSFER IMAGES]. Then, instead of clicking [FROM CAMERA], click [FROM MEDIA]. The camera may appear here as "REMOVABLE DISK > DCIM > 100OLYMP." Click on this folder to open it, and you should find your images. Use your mouse to drag and drop the files onto your computer.

Australian Broker TV brings you closer to the industry's
most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
Brokers are constantly hearing that SMSFs are the next big thing, but do they need any special training or upskilling to get involved in this growing industry? A panel of industry experts offer Australian Broker their insights.
Video transcript below:
Reporter: Brokers are increasingly told that Self Managed Super Funds are the next big thing. But what kind of special training or upskilling would they require to get involved in this growing industry?
Adam Smith, Editor, Australian Broker
Adam Smith: Where do I start? What's my jumping off point as a broker to upskill myself, to prepare myself to get into this area and who is going to help me do it?
Tanya Sale, Outsource Financial
Tanya Sale: Well dear, I think it [definitely] comes down to the [ATOs], the banks, I really feel strongly
Male speaker: I believe that banks are playing a key role in terms of education,
Tanya Sale: on this. They have to play a clear role in training and education. Again because SMSF lending is not a normal transaction. So you just can't
Male Speaker: Yeah, issue that a separate accreditation.
Tanya Sale: It has to
Male speaker: Oh yeah, not just I am broker, [lend you right SMSF funds]
Tanya Sale: Some of them have, you may, you have to get commercial accreditation minimum, because you have to understand the complexity of, like a commercial transaction. This SMSF is not a residential transaction and if everyone thinks that it is, truly they are kidding themselves, they really are. It has to come down to the banks to put things in place, training and education to separate. You already have residential accreditation, you already have commercial accreditation, you must have SMSF accreditation.
Adam Smith: So I guess from a lender's perspective, how are you communicating this opportunity to brokers and how are you then upskilling them to be prepared for it. I mean is, it could be a bit of a tough sale to say, here is this great opportunity, but you need all this extra skill set to get involved with it. How do you communicate that and make it attractive to them?
Sinclair Taylor, Westpac
Sinclair Taylor: Look I think a key component of course is getting the education offer right. So we have spent a lot of time through our broker [routers] in particular educating the existing crop of brokers as to what the opportunity is, where is the right jumping off point and getting yourself educated first and foremost before you can contemplate the loan is the right starting point. So we run regular training sessions with our broker BDMs, with our local business bankers in particular to upskill the broker community on what are the mechanics of the transaction. It's absolutely right, this is more complex than residential lending and there does need to be an overlay of a bit more seriousness and sophistication from the broker community and obviously commitment from us as an organisation to make sure that we have got the right brokers referring the right deals into this.
Tony MacRae, Westpac
Tony MacRae: Over the last 12 to 18 months, we have provided education sessions for over a 1,000 brokers nationally. But the other piece that we do to try and help being the specialised nature of it, we have purpose specific accredited group of local business bankers that have located in our branches that work very closely with the brokers to transact the SMSF loan.
Justine Tills, Outsource Financial
Justin Tills: Can I add from that. As you well know ASIC, there is always updates what's happening and [along with the office data revenue] there's been quite a few changes to the Duties Act over September. I think there should then be ongoing training, maybe quarterly or every six months from the lenders perspective
Sinclair Taylor: I have the observation that self managed superannuation involves, sorry superannuation system colliding with the Australian tax system and they are very complex pieces of legislation with a lot of tinkering and there is lot of updates, so brokers need to [of course], we do need to have broker involvement.
Tanya Sale: [And true] we have to be really careful in this sector, in this space, we really really do, because ASIC are watching it closely and not only ASIC, even the ATO is all over this like a rash and this is where the danger is, you know you get a product, you have a great product and you get out there, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't just be open [slatter], it shouldn't be off offer, it shouldn't be on offer to every man and their dog in the broking move, it really shouldn't. It is a specialised arena and there should be specialists that are only accredited to sell that.
Adam Smith: Well it's a very complex issue and one that I am sure we won't exhaust in any round table. But hopefully we have been able to clear up some misconceptions and present the opportunity in a way that brokers may be able to give this sector another look. Thank you everyone for participating.
All: Thank you Adam, thank you, thank you.

In this journal entry, Martha Cochran, casually reports of her day's shopping trip and watching skaters on Boston's Jamaica Pond, before she launches into a report at an "Anti Slavery meeting" in the evening. Although she describes the meeting as "spiritless and tame," Boston's abolition luminaries populated the meeting! She notes that while William Lloyd Garrison "could get no attention," Wendell Philips spoke for fifteen minutes. Cochran appears to have gotten a glimpse of Harriet Beecher Stowe for the first time, describing her as "a short lively, keen looking woman."

Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely this morning proclaimed today as World Asthma Day in Lincoln to raise awareness of the dangers of the disease. The Mayor was joined by members of the Community Asthma Education Initiative, a group founded in 1998 to improve the quality, availability and continuity of asthma management in Lancaster County.
More than 112,000 Nebraska citizens have asthma. Nebraska ranks second nationally in asthma-related deaths. In Nebraska, the highest mortality rates involving asthma occur in women, African-Americans and those over age 65.
"In addition to the number of people in our community who have asthma, the impact of the disease is also felt by family members, the medical community, schools and businesses every day," said Mayor Wesely. "Because an asthma attack can hit at anytime, it is a frightening disease for all involved."
"The Mayor's proclamation and recognition of asthma's impact in Lincoln are important first steps in raising awareness," said Cindy Rempe, coordinator of the Community Asthma Education Initiative, which is endorsed by more than 40 multi-disciplinary health professionals, institutions and interested groups. "Public awareness of asthma and ways to control asthma triggers are some of the best weapons we have to control this potentially deadly disease."
Rempe said the Mayor's proclamation is just one of the activities that will ally Lincoln with communities across the world, in recognizing the asthma epidemic. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking the lead in promoting World Asthma Day and World Asthma Month activities across the country. The EPA's goal is to have 500 Asthma Day/Month activities this month.
