WILLIAMSON — "I can just imagine seeing the eyes of a child light up or the smile on their face when they're given a doll that was designed by another child that has uplifting messages written on it to help them get through whatever hardships they're facing," said April Toler-Mullins, a registered nurse with Williamson Memorial Hospital that has embarked on a personal campaign to make a difference in the lives of children who find themselves in challenging circumstances.
Mullins had read about an organization called "Happy Dolls" in a parenting magazine, and was so touched by the story of good deeds that she vowed to participate. With the 1st birthday of her daughter approaching, the nurse with a caring heart decided the time was right to put her plan into action and was thrilled with the results.
"Happy Dolls" was inspired by a hospital-based, art therapy project in Japan, and was founded by Masako Takahashi. The organization connects children around the world using dolls made by others as traveling ambassadors with messages of hope. Each doll is a one-of-a-kind, kid-powered envoy with a simple mission, that being to make children smile when they're experiencing a difficult time in their lives.
To date, over 1,000 children have collaborated in New York, N. Carolina, Haiti, Japan, India, Honduras, Singapore, Vietnam, Uganda, and now – West Virginia – sending hope and comfort through their traveling Happy Dolls. The organization works with children from all backgrounds, most being in a vulnerable state who desperately need to hear words of comfort or to know that someone cares. The group provides simple doll making kits to create a unique, plush friend to send to child that will speak the universal symbol of love, compassion and encouragement that reach across borders, cultures and languages.
According to Toler, it's a very simple process to order dolls from the organization. You send them a donation (minimum of $1.00) and they will mail you a blank canvas doll with markers for the children to use to decorate and color them, and to write messages of love and hope. You will also receive a postage-paid box to use to return the doll, which is then placed in the arms of a child either within the U.S. or in another country that are in need. "Happy Dolls" is a non-profit organization that works strictly with volunteers and donations. After your dolls are decorated and returned to the group, it is tagged with an identification number that you can track via their website to see where your doll was shipped.
"I recently emailed the founder of Happy Dolls and told her my daughter's first birthday was coming up and that I wanted to get 15 dolls for the kids that were going to be there to decorate," explained Mullins. "The twist on my request, however, was whether or not I could take them to the Tug Valley Recovery Shelter (TVRC) here in Williamson for the children who stay there with their mothers because of a domestic violence situation, instead of returning them to the organization."
"The founder was so excited about the idea that she not only sent me 15 blank dolls for my party, she sent an additional 15 that had been decorated by children all over the world!"
Mullins remarked that she was moved to tears when she opened the box, and experienced an immense feeling of joy as she read the sweet messages that included sayings such as "never give up" and "always smile".
"I am so happy that I decided to become a part of this organization and I encourage anyone interested to do the same," Mullins said. "Visit the website happydoll.org and read all about it and I'm sure you heart will be just as touched by the story as I was."
Mullins recently delivered the dolls to the TVRC, and said that employees there were excited to be able to pass them on to children who enter their doors that are in need of a reason to smile.
"There is nothing more precious in this world than a child," stated Mullins with tears in her eyes. "If these dolls we decorated can bring a happiness to one child that is facing adversities, suffering the loss of a loved one, fighting an illness of their own or that live in a financial state that doesn't leave anything left to buy toys, then our goal has been accomplished…and that is truly the only thank you I will ever need."

Applying for the bar in Minnesota and other states is an extensive and time-consuming process. Admission requirements vary by state, and students are urged to research the requirements, timelines, and standards for the bar(s) of the state(s) in which they intend to apply at least six months in advance of the scheduled exam date. For a comprehensive guide to the bar application process from the National Conference of Bar Examiners, and for a list of links to bar admissions offices in all 50 states, visit: http://www.ncbex.org/bar-admissions/
For information about application to the Minnesota bar, see: www.ble.state.mn.us/
State bars require that the Law School certify applicants as having met all Juris Doctor degree requirements in order to sit for the bar exam. The Law School Registrar's Office tracks the deadlines and certification requirements for each state to which graduates intend to apply, and keeps detailed lists of certifications by state and by student. State bar certification forms are prepared by the Registrar's Office based on students' Graduation Assessment forms and their transcript records. Certifications are forwarded to the Dean or Dean's delegate for signature, and then submitted directly to the bar examiners in each state.
Students intending to apply for the bar outside of Minnesota should submit the appropriate state bar certification form to the Registrar's Office at least one month prior to the certification deadline. The Registrar's Office carefully tracks the bar certification deadlines for each state bar in order to ensure that completed certifications are received in a timely fashion.
Until a bar applicant has completed all Juris Doctor degree requirements, the Law School cannot forward a bar certification, and the applicant may not be able to sit for the bar exam. Students with incomplete coursework are responsible for finishing all required assignments, and for following up with the faculty member and Registrar's Office to ensure a grade is entered.
A Certificate of Graduation is a formal certification signed by the Dean of Academic Affairs certifying a student's dates of enrollment, graduation date, degree, and attesting to the student's character fitness. Certificates of Graduation are typically submitted to a states' bar examiner's office in order to verify a student's /alumni's legal education.
To request a Certificate of Graduation, complete the Request Form, attach the state bar certification form if applicable, and mail or fax to the Office of the Registrar.
Requests should be addressed to:
Attn: Assistant RegistrarOffice of the RegistrarUniversity of Minnesota Law School229 19th Avenue SouthMinneapolis, MN 55455Fax: (612) 626-1874
The Character and Fitness evaluation process is a critical part of bar admission in most states, and students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the expectations for practice early in their law school careers. To help with this, representatives of the Minnesota State Board of Law Examiners address first-year students at Orientation and again prior to students' graduation in the third year. For information about Minnesota's Character and Fitness evaluation process, see: www.ble.state.mn.us/character_and_fitness.html. For admissions standards in other states, consult the applicable state bar admissions Web site.
Student records, including law school applications, may be reviewed by the Board of Law Examiners as part of the Character and Fitness evaluation process. Inconsistencies between the information disclosed on a student's law school application and his or her bar application may subject the applicant to further scrutiny, and require an amendment to his or her law school application. Students seeking to amend their law school application should consult the Assistant Dean of Students.
Other bar admission questions and concerns of a confidential nature also may be addressed to the Assistant Dean of Students. Students are especially encouraged to meet with the Assistant Dean of Students early in their law school career if they have a history of alcohol or chemical dependency, criminal matters, academic misconduct, significant mental health impairments, or other concerns that may relate to the ability to meet requirements of practice. Students should note that no single condition or incident will automatically prevent admission to the bar; rather, bar examiners encourage students to directly address and treat any condition that may lead to a conduct concern or impair an individual's ability to comply with practice standards.
Some states, including Minnesota, have also introduced a Conditional Admissions process, which allows a bar applicant with recent impairments to be admitted to practice under certain conditions and supervision. Evidence of current fitness and rehabilitation from past impairments are often important considerations in the Character and Fitness evaluation process. Therefore, seeking appropriate support or treatment is strongly encouraged.
Class ranks are computed but not revealed to students or others except for two reasons: 1.) for qualifications for Order of the Coif, although ranking is not disclosed to students, and; 2.) for the limited purpose of application for judicial clerkships or academic teaching positions.
Individual students may receive their class rank for the limited purpose of application for judicial clerkships or academic teaching positions provided the student/alumni submits a list of potential judges and academic institutions to the Law School's Office of the Registrar.
Although the Law School's policy on releasing class ranks is widely accepted, a letter stating the Law School's policy towards class ranks may be sent out by the Registar's office if requested.
To download the Class Rank Request Form, click here.
The Law School releases quartile distributions that indicate the range of grade point averages in each quartile of a particular class. Many students/alumni disclose their grade point average in their resumes and often substitute quartile calculations for class ranks.

In rare circumstances, a law student may need to apply for a change to an examination. To complete the online variance application for such requests, you will need to log in using your UMN x.500 and password.
Persons requiring an accessible version of the form for disability-related reasons should contact the Dean of Students Office at email@example.com, 621-625-2456, or during drop-in office forms.
The Financial Aid Consortium Agreement is a three part document that allows the University of Minnesota's Office of Student Finance (OSF) to calculate your financial aid award while you are on an approved course of study at another institution, either domestic or abroad. Even though you will be paying tuition to another institution, the University OSF will use the cost-of-attendance estimate from the other school when factoring your aid award. Please note that if you have been receiving scholarship funds for study here at the University of Minnesota Law School, these will not apply while you are enrolled through another institution. Questions about scholarship implications for study away can be referred to the Law School Admissions office.
Directions for Completing the Law School Consortium Agreement
Questions regarding completion of these forms can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com or Jim Parker at email@example.com.
Under Academic Rule 10.5, JD students who have completed their first year of law school may earn a limited number of credits for unpaid independent study. Generally, "independent study" includes exercises that permit or require student participation in law-related writing, research, or other activities away from or outside the Law School, or in a format that does not involve attendance at regularly scheduled class sessions. The total number of independent study credits a student may earn is limited by Academic Rule 3.1. Independent study may include legal research and writing projects, or field placement projects in a legal setting. While similar to externships, field placements are set up on an ad hoc basis, usually with a faculty member who has some experience or expertise in the field placement practice area.
Independent Study Registration Information:
A qualifying Independent Research and Writing project requires a student to research and write a substantive paper, note, article, or other writing product on a legal topic. At least 12 or more pages of writing is required per credit. The written product must rely on the student's original research, be of at least "near-publishable" quality, and include proper legal citation. To register for an independent research project, the student should confer with a supervising faculty member, draft a description of the proposed writing project, and complete the Independent Research form (PDF). The completed Independent Research form must be signed by the faculty member and submitted along with the project description to the Registrar for enrollment.
For Independent Field Placement projects, students may earn up to three credits for unpaid work in a legal practice setting, under the supervision of a qualified field supervisor and a faculty advisor. At least 50 hours of law-related activities are required per credit, and field placement credits are generally evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. The student is responsible for identifying a field placement setting and supervisor, finding a faculty advisor, and completing the Independent Field Placement Enrollment Form (PDF). In addition to information about the site supervisor, faculty advisor, and number of hours and credits, the form must include a project description, educational objectives, and evaluation methods. Once complete, the student routes the Independent Field Placement Enrollment Form to both the supervising faculty member and the field supervisor for approval and signatures. The signed form must then be submitted to the faculty assistant in room N216 for approval by the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs prior to enrollment of Independent Field Placement credits.
Read the Instruction Memorandum BEFORE completing the form.
To qualify for a Letter of Good Standing a student must have a cumulative weighted numerical GPA of 2.000 ("C") or higher, and have received no more than two grades below a "C-" in the first year to be in good academic standing.
A Letter of Good Standing is printed on Law School letterhead and signed by the Assistant Registrar. The letter confirms attendance, satisfactory progress and estimated term of graduation.
To request a Letter of Good Standing, complete the Request Form and mail or fax to:
Attn: Assistant RegistrarUniversity of Minnesota Law School229 19th Avenue SouthMinneapolis, MN 55455Fax: 612-626-1874
Contact the Registrar's office at email@example.com, if you have questions.
Academic Rule 12.2, which requires written notice to students of revised deadlines, and automatically imposes failing grades for incompletes after one year, is designed to reduce incompletes and reinforce professional expectations for students.
An "I" (incomplete) will be assigned at the end of a semester for any course, seminar, or credited exercise when, due to extraordinary circumstances (as determined by the instructor or Dean), the student who has successfully completed a substantial portion of the course's work with a passing grade was prevented from completing the work of the course on time. The assignment of an "I" requires a written agreement (which may be in the form of a Notice of Incomplete Work form (pdf)) between the instructor and student, specifying the time and manner in which the student will complete the course requirements. In no event may any such written agreement allow a period of longer than one year to complete the course requirements. In most cases, extensions should be limited to a month or less.
The completed Notice of Incomplete Work form should be emailed to the student and copied to the Registrar's Office at firstname.lastname@example.com. If a student does not submit late work by the revised deadline, the instructor may assess penalties, including entry of a failing grade, at any time following the deadline. If the deadline is again revised, an updated Notice of Incomplete Work form should be completed and forwarded to the student and Registrar's Office.

Student Practice Certification The Student Practice Rule adopted by the Minnesota Supreme Court allows students to represent government agencies and indigent clients in actual court and administrative agency proceedings under the supervision of a licensed attorney. The Student Practice Rules can be found in the Minnesota Rules of Court. There are two rules: Rule 1, General Student Practice and Rule 2, Clinical Student Practice.
Minnesota Student Practice Eligibility To be eligible a student must be currently enrolled, have completed at least two semesters of full-time study (24 credits), and be in good academic standing (2.0 G.P.A). The rule also states that students must identify themselves as a student and be accepted by the client.
Rule 1 – General Practice Rule Rule 1 applies to students working for a government agency or appearing on behalf of an indigent client. It does not apply to students working at private law firms representing clients for a fee. Students who work for private firms that contract to act on behalf of a government agency may be certified. For example, a firm that contracts to complete public defender cases may ask that a student be certified to represent those clients.
The Rule states that the government agency or persons representing an indigent client must submit in writing to the student's law school the student's name and a statement that the student will be properly supervised under the provisions of the rule. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to complete the Law School's Student Practice Certification Form and obtain the practicing attorney's signature to make a request to be certified under Rule 1. This requirement is found under Rule 1.03 of the Student Practice Rules.
Students seeking practice certification under Rule 1 should complete the Student Practice Certification Form. It must be completed and signed by the practicing attorney, and submitted to the Registrar's Office at the 2nd floor Information Desk. Once the form is received, certification takes approximately one week.
Rule 2 – Clinical Student Practice Rule 2 applies to students enrolled in a clinic course. Student names are automatically submitted to the Minnesota Supreme Court if they are in a clinic where there may be an opportunity to represent a client. When the drop/add period ends after the first week of school, student names are submitted to the attorney registration clerk. Within two weeks, students will be certified. Students will not be personally notified of their registration. Please see the registrar or law clinics office manager with questions regarding clinic student certification. Students who are not in good standing are ineligible to participate in the Clinics and for student practice certification.
Certification under one rule DOES NOT include certification under the other Students who work for a government agency and who are also enrolled in a clinic course must be certified under each rule. The Supreme Court maintains a record of who is assuming responsibility for student activities in court. The University of Minnesota Law School accepts that responsibility under Rule 2, Clinical Student Practice. However, the employer must accept that responsibility under Rule 1, General Student Practice.
Length of certification Both Rule 1 and Rule 2 certifications remain in effect for 12 months. You may be re-certified for an additional 12 months by request. Certification could terminate sooner if certain events occur as stated in Rule 1.03 or Rule 2.03 of the Student Practice Rules.
Student Practice Certification—Other States Most states have court rules and procedures to certify an eligible law student to appear on a client's behalf, under the supervision of a licensed attorney in that state. Students seeking practice certification outside of Minnesota are responsible for researching the certification requirement for the state in question, and submitting to the Law School Registrar's Office all relevant forms and instructions. Questions regarding non-Minnesota student practice certification should be directed to the Registrar's Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The New Digital Compact System Camera DMC-GX1
Superb Image Quality and Performance Combined with a Premium Design
Panasonic is pleased to announce the addition of the DMC-GX1 interchangeable lens system camera as part of the LUMIX G Micro System as part of the new premium mirror-less line up - DMC-GX1 featuring high image quality and stunning performance in both response and function.
LUMIX G Micro System realizes high-quality photo images with real-to-life details through excellent resolution, image rendering and color reproduction. Taking full advantage of the 16.0-megapixel Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine, images to be shot in low-lit situations at max. 12800 high ISO sensitivity setting is stunningly clear with highly sharp resolution.
Precision Contrast AF system of LUMIX G Micro System gains even higher speed realizing approx. 0.09 second of Light Speed AF.* Consecutive shooting is also improved for 4.2 fps in 16.0-megapixel full resolution.
The DMC-GX1 records 1920 x 1080 full-HD video with stereo sound in AVCHD format which is superior in both compression efficiency and friendliness with AV equipment for playback. Advanced AF system including practical full-time AF and tracking AF is available in video recording so that every photographer can enjoy high quality video recording with minimum ease.
As a camera from the new premium line of LUMIX G Micro System, the external design of the camera has been developed with no compromising on grip, dial, coating - everything to detail. The hot shoe on the top lets you attach the optional tilt-shift Live View Finder (DMW-LVF2) of approx. 1.4x (approx. 0.7x**), 1,440,000-dot equivalent, 100% field of view. It is now compatible with UHS-I standard for the SDXC/SDHC Memory Card taking its advantage to extend performance.
Available in silver and black, the DMC-GX1 offers luxurious comfort in shooting experience with a stunning performance and a host of functions, to be a great partner that is always in your sight, in your mind.
* The time for focusing on the subject is measured with LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S (H-PS14042) to move the lens position to "2m" from "infinity" position. The zoom position is in wide end. Panasonic measurement method
** 35mm camera equivalent
High Image Quality for an Interchangeable Lens System Camera LUMIX G Micro System realizes high-quality photo images with real-to-life details through excellent resolution, image rendering and color reproduction; high-grade lens and precision AF achieves high resolution, optimal balance of resolution and noise reduction achieves lifelike image rendering and high precision auto exposure and white balance with live light metering results in the faithful color reproduction.
The 16.0-megapixel Live MOS sensor plays a big role in high quality image rendering. With the dedicated circuit which reads out signals with minimum noise, the level of noise is significantly suppressed by more than 66%. Notably max. ISO 12800 is available with DMC-GX1. In shooting at high ISO setting, S/N value is improved by approx. 200% compared with the conventional 12.1-megapixel sensor. The sensor performance improves by 6db at ISO 3200 and max. 9db at ISO 6400, resulting in the dramatically flawless picture without noise.
In addition to the high-speed signal processing with its 3 CPUs, the image processor Venus Engine boasts its excellent performance with an adoption of noise reduction technology for even higher quality of image. By separating chromatic noise from luminance noise even more accurately by applying the optimal noise reduction to each, you can capture clear and beautiful images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels. By preventing the color mixture which tended to occur around the edges, any chromatic noise, not only in the gradation part but also in the edge part, are described clearly. The engine also provides selective noise reduction to the outline part to let it have more naturally-balanced curve without deterioration of the resolution. In addition, the spot-type noise which can be often seen in the dark area of the picture taken in low light situation or color bleeding on high luminance area generated by the chromatic aberration. Details are kept by optimum synthesizing of the data which is processed with resolution-priority for edge part and NR-priority for smooth part of a picture*. The result is a picture with stunning clarity if shot in low-lit situations. Furthermore, optimization of the parameter contributes to the increase of resolution.
The LUMIX G Micro System offers a total of 14 interchangeable lenses including the new power zoom X lens standard zoom lens, telephoto zoom lens, single focal length lens, wide-angle lens, fish-eye lens, macro lens – to fit any scenes and occasions.
* In a single shot at ISO3200 or higher. Not available with iA and iA Plus mode
Advanced AF System All cameras of LUMIX G Micro System adopt Contrast AF for its focus system. The Phase-difference AF system is susceptible to mechanical margin of error. However, in Contrast AF system, focusing is controlled by the image sensor so that no mechanical margin of error occurs to achieve precise focusing. Compared with the Phase difference system AF, the Contrast AF boasts higher accuracy especially in shooting with bright lens with small F value. (e.g. the accuracy of Contrast AF is approx. 90% while Phase difference AF is approx. 60% at F1.4.)
The DMC-GX1 features the approx. 0.09 second of ultra high-speed Light Speed AF* which is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by the synchronization of the lens and the sensor at 120 fps. Not only the accuracy but also the speed excels by far than the high-end DSLRs with Phase difference AF with the advanced Contrast AF system in DMC-GX1.
The newly added focus mode AFF (AF Flexible) locks on the focus when shutter button is half-pressed, however, if the subject moves, the focusing is reset to get the best results.
Combined with the Touch AF control, setting and focusing at the subject is incredibly easy and quick, never missing the spur-of-the-moment. Taking further advantage of Contrast AF, the DMC-GX1incorporates Full-area focusing which makes it possible to set focus on any point in the field of view. Frame composition is free and intuitive combining the touch-screen operation.
The touch-control system of DMC-GX1 immediately lets users to set focus to the subject by just touching it on the large, 460,000-dot wide-viewing angle LCD and you can even release the shutter. Once you lock on the subject by a touch, the camera tracks the subject with the AF tracking function even if it moves. Just a touch on the screen lets you select the part and the size of AF area with the 1-area AF. The 1-area AF in Face Detection even allows you to set finer focus on the eyes while capturing human face bright and clear. The Multi-area AF with 23 AF areas allows you to set a group of AF point according to the composition. In addition, Pinpoint AF function is incorporated in DMC-GX1 allowing more precise focus setting by further enlarging the focusing area. It assists, for example, setting focus right on the pupil in an eye.
In the MF assist mode, you can enlarge the part by just a touch to select 1x, 4x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the part by dragging it on the screen. The 4x enlarged view is displayed on the framing screen making it possible to setting fine focus while composing the whole picture at the same time. * The time for focusing on the subject is measured with LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S (H-PS14042) to move the lens position to "2m" from "infinity" position. The zoom position is in wide end. Panasonic measurement method
Easy Manual Control with a Variety of Shooting Assist Functions Despite its outstanding compactness, the operation on DMC-GX1 is smooth and easy with optimum layout of control buttons and the mode dial, turn-and-press dial and dedicated function buttons. The function the user changes its setting can be assigned to the 2 external buttons and 2 menus in the software tab for direct reach. In addition, a total of 4 custom setting patterns can be memorized to the camera (1 on C1 for direct switch and 3 on C2).
Now the DMC-GX1 comes with Level Gauge which lets the camera detect the horizontal/vertical angle of view with its internal level working with the acceleration sensor. Photos shot in a portrait aspect will be automatically displayed vertically whatever lens is used.
The newly incorporated One Push AE adjusts exposure with a single press of Fn (Function) button when it is over/under exposure. It is especially useful in shootin outdoor with open aperture or indoor with fast shutter speed.
Zoom operation can be controlled with touch control when the Power Zoom lens of LUMIX G Micro System is attached. Speed of zooming can be adjusted in 2 steps.
Even though the DMC-GX1 pursued the ultimate compactness, Panasonic did not compromise in the equipment of camera such as built-in flash (GN7.6, ISO160).
Finest Tuning in Every Part of the Camera As a camera from the new premium GX line of LUMIX G Micro System, the external design of the camera has been developed with no compromising in every detail. The ergonomically designed grip fits the DMC-GX1's flat profile yet easy to hold. Its tactile feeling offers more comfort thanks to the casting material resin and elastomer. The mode dial is machined with finest tuning on its pitch of spin, form of plate and shininess. Characters are sharply printed by laser so that they are easy to see and they last long. The buttons on the back also have style in the coating, spin, stamp and color.
The DMC-GX1 comes with a hot shoe for the external flash or for the new Live View Finder DMW-LVF2, which is an optional accessory.
1920 x 1080 Full-HD High Quality Video Recording LUMIX G Micro System is the camera that records not only high quality photo but also stunning video. The AVCHD format features almost twice the recording time in HD quality than the conventional Motion JPEG. A special, dedicated button on the top lets the user instantly start recording videos while shooting photos without any having to make any extra settings. Now the DMC-GX1 can record high-resolution full-HD videos 1920 x 1080 at 60i (NTSC) / 50i in AVCHD (Sensor output is 30p [NTSC])*. Image recording is more flexible fun with the DMC-GX1. In addition to the practical full-time AF, the Touch AF in video recording also lets users enjoy professional-like rack focusing. Just by pointing the subject, the focus is shifted to it and let it stand out to attract attention.
The Extra Tele Conversion function virtually extends the zoom range Max.4.8x without deterioration of image quality in smaller resolution.
Even video beginners can record excellent video with the DMC-GX1 because the popular iA and iA Plus modes are also available in video recording. Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) helps prevent handshake when using high-powered zoom. AF Tracking locks on the subject with focus even it moves. Face Detection automatically detects a face in the frame and adjusts focus, exposure, contrast, and skin complexion on it, so it always turns out beautiful. The Intelligent D-range Control offers natural looking by optimizing the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully including the blue color of the sky. And Intelligent Scene Selector automatically switches between Portrait, Scenery, Close-up and Low Light modes according to the situation to optimize various parameters for higher visual quality.
High quality sound can be recorded with Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator. A Wind Cut function is also available to block out most of the noise from background wind. The DMC-GX1 can take a photo while recording video by just pressing a shutter button. Also, photos can be cropped out from the video and the unwanted part of the video can be removed with a video divide function.
Videos can be recorded in MP4 format to play it back directly on the PC or other portable electronic devices without a need of conversion.
* Full HD (1920 x 1080) videos are output by the image sensor at 30p (NTSC), and recorded at 60i (NTSC). HD (1280 x 720) videos are output by the image sensor at 30p (NTSC), and recorded at 60p (NTSC).
• Motion images can be recorded continuously for up to 29 min 59 sec in European PAL areas.
• Continuous recording exceeding 4GB is not possible when recording MP4. Remaining time for continuous recording is displayed on the screen.

Outstanding Performance in Power, Speed and Image Processing With further optimization and rationalization in electric design, the DMC-GX1 excels in energy consumption and features approx. 11%* longer battery life than the DMC-G3 which complies with the same battery pack DMW-BLD10. The DMC-GX1 is now capable of 4.2 fps consecutive shooting in 16.0-megapixel full resolution with mechanical shutter. High speed burst shooting at 20 fps with electronic shutter is also selectable according to the shooting fast-moving subject and it is possible to select the best shot later**.
The Intelligent D-range Control offers even more natural looking by optimizing the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully including the blue color of the sky.
DMC-GX1 compiles the Intelligent Resolution technology to perform the optimum signal processing depending on the part of a picture to give a whole image outstandingly natural clearness with fine details.
Cameras of LUMIX G Micro System are equipped with highly efficient Dust Reduction System. If dust or other foreign matter gets inside the camera when you're changing lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in your photos. The Dust Reduction System in the DMC-GX1 helps eliminate this possibility by placing a supersonic wave filter in front of the Live MOS sensor. Vibrating vertically around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles effectively.
The DMC-GX1 is compatible with UHS-I standard for the SDXC/SDHC Memory Card taking its advantage of high-speed data transmission.
*Based on a CIPA Standard.
** In the high speed burst shooting at 20 fps, the picture size is fixed to S-size in all aspects.

It provides an array of features that let users capture precisely true-to-life images and create their own beautifully expressive images. The Creative Control offers a variety of color modes; Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, High Dynamic, Miniature Effect* and newly added Low Key and Toy Effect mode.
Effect parameter of each mode is also adjustable.
The Photo Style is another option to look photos more true to your artistic intention. It has Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait presets while enabling finer adjustment of contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction by each. It is possible to fully customize those settings to make user's own color effect manually in Custom mode.
These two modes — Creative Control and Photo Style — let users at any level of skill enjoy giving photographers' intention to make the picture even more impressive and fun.
The DMC-GX1 has advanced functions that will satisfy experienced photographers, yet is easy enough for beginners of interchangeable lens camera to use comfortably in both photo and video recording with the iA (Intelligent Auto) Plus. In addition to the popular iA functions – AF Tracking, Intelligent D-range Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Recognition and Intelligent ISO Control - , the iA Plus mode lets users adjust defocusing area in the background, exposure compensation and white balance for more flexible control.
* Sound will not be recorded with [MINIATURE EFFECT] in Creative Control Mode and approximately 1/10 of the time period is recorded. (If you record for 10 minutes, the resulting motion picture recording will be approximately 1 minute long)

Anyone have any experiences or suggestions? So far I know it is best to go in spring or fall.
Just park yourself in BadFunn and Benham's driveway on trash day.
Bears love the gym. Maybe you could meet one there.
I've eaten bear before. It was kinda weird. I'm not really a wild meat kinda guy.
Da bears
come to my hangout thread - its the best ever
Knew a guy who went bear hunting. He killed the bear and during processing a piece of the bear hit the floor and some bacteria fucked up most of the meat. They got a little bit of it and we had bear bologna. It was good. Bear hunting can be pretty costly though cause the dogs can be killed.
I think if you can get the cute little bear cubs away from their momma, their meat would be a lot more tender. Bear veal, as it were.

Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence "Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I'll shut up about it?"
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you've come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.

"If you like Mindy, you'll enjoy this listen."
I gave 5 stars for performance and 3 for story. Mindy is very funny, and I like her style, so I liked the book. Like Tina Fey in Bossypants, Mindy writes about things that all women can relate to, and that most women agree with on some level. She does an excellent job of reading (some authors don't do as well as you would want), maybe since she's also an actress. She definitely gave excitement to the reading. Her voice is a little high-pitched, but again, I like Mindy so I enjoyed listening. The male readers were AWESOME and believable.
I gave 3 for story because she is quite superficial and materialistic, so you'll find those themes running through the entire thing. It's funny, especially if you're being light-hearted about it, but it's not the kind of story that keeps you thinking and expands you as a person. The story itself is pretty forgettable, but it was very fun and enjoyable while it lasted. I'm assuming that was her goal.
"Ahh! This Lady is Great!"
I love it when interesting, funny, & fabulous people write a great book . . . and then narrate it! Getting Mindy's narration and inflection in my head for 4 and a half hours was just that much better than reading the book.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? reminded me of Bossy Pants by Tina Fey. These are both funny memoirs by women I love to watch and read about.
"Love it!"
As a HUGE fan of The Office, I was super excited to read this book. I already had the eBook when I saw that Mindy Kaling had actually narrated the audiobook version herself. (so cool! Lol) Anyway, it was exactly what I had expected it to be. Super funny and honest-feeling. It was also smart with some awesome references!
"Okay, but hoped for a little more"
Yes, if you are a fan of Mindy's and enjoy her snappy narration, this is the book for you. Don't get be wrong - I liked it, but somehow, I just thought it would be a little better
A little surprising, but good!
I liked how she raved about Chappelle's Show. I never had seen it and as a result of her recommendation, have begun watching it in reruns and it is excellent. I also liked her advice to teens about high school/popularity, etc.
No, I don;t think this book could be made into a movie (as it is a series of stories)
Mindy did a great job narrating the book and I feel as if I know (and like) her a little better
"Reads Like a 10 Year Old's Dream Journal"
No. Unless, of course, I suddenly became deeply interested in the inner workings of the mind of a middle school girl.
I love Mindy Kaling in The Office, but listening to her voice for 4 hours is like a mild form of torture.
No because, quite frankly, Mindy Kaling is just not interesting. The book starts off witty and entertaining and about halfway through, the whole thing loses steam and then towards the end there is an ENTIRE CHAPTER about how annoying it is when it takes a long time for a guy to tie his shoes. Obviously her comedic writing doesn't translate well into an entire book and a second one would be the worst idea since....well, since Mindy Kaling decided to write a first book.
This seems like its written by someone who still believes in unicorns and whose favorite color is
I honestly write these reviews in a spirit of sharing and helpfulness. I have no idea why I always end up sounding so snotty...
"From the other side of hang outs"
Being 50-ish, 'relate' would not come into my experience of the book - and still, when Mindy Kaling courageously breaks down the experience of being horribly let down by a boy, I cried. It's only about 5-10 minutes of the book, but, for me, it was a total deal maker. Other than that, I just found the audio book good company. If you're feeling lonely, ambitious and thwarted, or otherwise dissatisfied, you should give a listen.
"Just okay"
The content of this book is fairly unoriginal - concerns about weight, stories about not fitting in as a child, some stories about writing for The Office and Saturday Night Live. In terms of content and performance, Tine Fey's Bossypants is much more interesting. Yet Mindy is funny and she does a nice job of reading the book. If you think she is funny, you will probably enjoy listening to this book, but won't be blown away by it.
Science writer in America's heartland
"I LOL-ed"
A light read, and especially funny read by the author. I liked hearing about how she worked her way to success in Hollywood.
An avid reader, who also loves to listen.
"Funny in a Cute Way"
She seems extremely educated and she is very funny. She also does a great job narrating her own book as her voice is semi-annoying but in a humorous, cute way. I really enjoyed listening to this title. Love her take on movies, music and creating lists.
Say something about yourself!
I think if I had read this instead of listening to it, I might have rated it lower. It's a little all over the place. This book benefits greatly from Mindy's narration. She's on-par with Tina Fey in terms of skill - Mindy is funny and very charming and you really get drawn into her stories - though this is definitely no "Bossypants" (and Mindy is quick to point that out in the introduction!) As a fan of "The Office" (although admittedly not lately) and especially Kelly Kapoor, I enjoyed all of the behind-the-scenes stories. And at 4 1/2 hours, it's a perfect shorter listen.

Brookline, MA + Add a trip
- Not far from: Boston, Brockton, Fall River, Lowell, Massachusetts, Commonwealth of, New Bedford, Providence, South Boston
People on Dopplr have been to these places in Brookline
Q&A for Brookline
Dopplr asks "Where's good to eat in Brookline?"
Getting There
Boston is a pedestrian's paradise, and often a driver's purgatory; the city centre is tricky to navigate and parking can be both problematic and expensive. If you plan on traveling outisd ethe city, there are numerous car hire outlets at the airport, including Hertz (www.hertz.com), Dollar (www.dollar.com), and Alamo (www.nationalcar.com).
Boston's Logan International Airport is one of the USA's busiest, with regular transatlantic flights to London from British Airways, United and Virgin, as well as carriers to a number of major European and US destinations. There are regular Silver Line bus transfers to South Station, where you can hop on the subway ('the T') to the city centre.
The city is a major interchange for Amtrak's east coat lines, with trains linking South Station to New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and stations in between.
Local Knowledge
US country code: +1; Boston: 617.
Revisit the old classic Little Women by Boston-born Louisa May Alcott. Nathaniel Hawthorne's meditation on adultery in puritan Boston The Scarlett Letter or Henry David Thoreau's back-to-nature musings in Walden are other essential classics, but for something a little more modern, try the postmodern epic Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.
Do go / Don't Go
March and April are known as the mud months in Boston on a count of the rapidly slush-turning snow, rain and general chilly dreariness. The warm summer months are ideal, especially for visiting beautiful beaches in Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. From November to February, and particularly around Christmas, Boston transforms into a magical winter wonderland, although the cold can be biting.
Lobster and oysters and clams, oh my! Boston is a real cultural melting pot in terms of cuisine but seafood always takes pride of place on the menu. Try the sumptuously fresh lobster rolls from B&G Oyster (+1 617 423 0550) or Neptune Oyster (+1 617 742 3474). Head to North End, Boston's Little Italy, for cheeses, olive oils and cured meats.
Boston cabs are white versions of the classic New York City car, and are easily flagged down or found at the city's many ranks. Note that the 'On Duty' signs are rarely an indication that that is the case - so just stick out your arm and hope. For pre-booking, try Boston Cab (+1 617 536 5010) or Town Taxi (+1 617 536 5000).
As in New York, Bostonians pay 15-20 per cent for service, which usually works out at around double the tax on any bill.
US dollar ($).
Boston is a famously walkable city and a decent walking map will be invaluable for both for seeing the tick-box sights and finding your way around the historic nooks and corners.
Worth Doing
In addition to the eminent Museum of Fine Arts (www.mfa.org), with its almighty Egyptian collection, and the more maverick Institute of Contemporary Art (www.icaboston.org), Boston has a wealth of little galleries and intriguing exhibitions - the LaMontagne Gallery (www.lamontagnegallery.com), showcases emerging local artists and is an inspiring alternative to the big-name museums. For a break from all the art, the The Salem Witch Museum (www.salemwitchmuseum.com) is 30 minutes away, (www.salemwitchmuseum.com) and offers a macabre recreation of the 1692 trials and executions.
Foraging fashionistas flock to Louis Boston (www.louisboston.com) in the New England Museum of Natural History building, the city's answer to London's Harvey Nichols and the Big Apple's Barneys. On Newbury Street, Riccardi (www.riccardiboston.com) is a hipster's hypermarket stocking a colossal collection of international designers, with strong leanings towards Japanese houses such as Evisu, Come de Garcons and some exclusive brands. Any gaps in Riccardi's wardrobe are amply filled by Alan Bilzerian (www.alanbilzerian.com) on Newbury Street, where you'll find a catwalk-busting selection of McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake and more. The city's South End is more alternative, with visionary vintages finds in Bobby's From Boston (+1 617 423 9299) at 19 Thayer Street and under-the-radar classic French style at Looc (www.loocboutique.com) on Union Park. Bypass the Borders on Beacon Hill and head over the road to Commonwealth Books (www.commonwealthbooks.com) an enchanting antiquarian bookshop where you can thumb through higgledy-piggledy piles and browse on leather Chesterfields.
Bostons' best views are to be enjoyed from the waterside or the rooftops of the city's towering skyscrapers. The Tavern on the Water (www.tavernonthewater.com) is a great spot to admire a beautiful Boston skyline by night, and the Skywalk Observatory (and the neighbouring Top of the Hub restaurant) at the Prudential Centre (www.prudentialcenter.com) offers 360º views while you shop.
The Freedom Trail (www.thefreedomtrail.org) is a 2.5-mile red-brick path that winds around every historical monument and architectural accomplishment that Boston has to offer. Combine it with a little background reading and a smattering of revolutionary knowledge and you'll know enough Bostonian history to rival the most bookish Harvard scholar.
April For seven years, Boston's Independent Film Festival (www.iffboston.org) has been showcasing the latest and greatest home-grown cinema, with a strong empahasis on documentaries. April-September The Red Sox step up to the plate for baseball season at Fenway Park. April-November Humpback, Minke and Finback Whales gather around the harbour; Boston Harbour Cruises (www.bostonharborcruises.com/boston-whale-watch) runs three-hour whale-watching trips throughout the season. August-September 150 comedians from around the globe come to town to extract giggles at Boston's International Comedy and Music Festival. (www.bostoncomedyfestival.com). November Winter sees the frog pond on Boston Common (www.bostoncommonfrogpond.org) transform into a natural ice rink and the city's wannabe whirlers and twirlers take to their skates. December The Boston Ballet's annual performance of The Nutcracker (www.bostonballet.org/nutcracker) is a much-loved highlight of the Christmas calendar - and knocks the socks off panto.

Creditnet (http://www.creditnet.com), a leading online authority on credit information and credit repair, today released a new infographic on how to build credit.
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) January 26, 2013
For young consumers clueless on how to build credit, Creditnet.com today released a helpful new infographic explaining how to build an excellent credit score over the course of a lifetime.
According to Creditnet - a credit repair and consumer advice authority since 1995 - developing a great credit score and credit profile is something built over the course of a lifetime, and often begins when consumers receive that first student credit card in the mail.
"It's extremely important for young adults to begin building their credit profile early," said Creditnet's Vice President of Operations, Jason Bushey. "The earlier that responsible spending and credit practices are put into place, the greater the likelihood of low interest rates and mortgage approval in a person's 30's, 40's and beyond."
While young consumers are likely to benefit the most from Creditnet's credit building infographic, any consumer looking for the simple bullet points when it comes to improving credit scores are sure to gain helpful tips and advice.
Creditnet is offering the infographic free of charge to websites that believe its users could benefit from learning the basics of credit building.
"When I was 18 or 19 years old, I didn't have a clue why I needed to build credit," said Bushey. "Our new infographic provides consumers new to credit with one of the end-games for building an excellent credit score: getting approved for a mortgage and buying a home."
Creditnet has plans to roll out several new informative infographics in the coming weeks and months with the intention of making it as simple as ever for consumers to gain helpful credit building knowledge.
Visit Creditnet.com for more information regarding credit repair advice and credit card reviews.

Then ride the legendary Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park for free time to explore on your own, or you can opt to hike, whitewater raft, "flightsee" Mount McKinley, or helicopter land on a glacier.But wait, there's more: visit an Iditarod Dogsled Center to learn about this epic race; then transfer to Seward for your Holland America Alaska cruise.
