Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman Uncap a well of creativity The gentle blur of water in motion as it tumbles over a hidden mountain waterfall. The crisply focused portrait of your daughter's face against a softly blurred field of sunflowers. A spinning neon Ferris wheel at a nighttime carnival. Nikon's D5100 SLR camera offers the tools you need to paint pictures that tell stories with amazing image quality. Plus, it records stunning HD movies, for times when you'd prefer to capture the scene in full motion. High-performance image sensor, tilt-and-swivel LCD, and more The D5100's 16.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor ensures razor-sharp, detailed photos even when shooting in low light without a flash. The big 3" high-res LCD tilts and swivels, making it easy to grab shots high over crowds or down low from a toddler's point of view. And a 1080p movie recording mode with full-time autofocus helps keep your subjects looking crisp and detailed at all times (unless you choose to manually dial in a softer focus for artistic effect). Add some special effects to make your pics and movies even more unique The D5100 is Nikon's first digital SLR to provide in-camera effects that can be applied to both photos and movies for cool, creative options. Twist the cam's mode dial to the Effects position and select Color Sketch to create photos or a stop-motion movie with a colorful sketched drawing style. Or try the Miniature effect to record photos and high-speed movies that have the look of a miniature-scale model. Along with the Effects settings, the D5100 can create photos with amazing tonal range thanks to a high dynamic range (HDR) mode. Select this function and the camera will automatically snap two images in rapid succession one overexposed and one underexposed to deliver a finished photo with an amazing range of midtones and highlights that wouldn't otherwise be possible in a single shot. Plus, Nikon's Active D-Lighting can be combined with HDR for an even more dramatic effect.

Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode.

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value Want an amazing camera Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon D5100 Written By PD, Illinois on Monday, February 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value Have previously been using a point and shoot camera. Had a film SLR camera several years ago and still have. Liked the quality of those photos and was ready to go to a DSLR. Have been researching for some time and talking w/other DSLR owners. The Nikon seemed to fit the bill for what I wanted to do. So far have been very satisfied and hopefully that will continue. Haven't taken many photos yet as only had a couple of weeks but what I have has been great. Still have some learning to do on the operation but has been pretty user friendly so far. Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I have owned this camera for less than a month and love it. Takes amazing photos and is easy to use. A great camera for average photography enthusiast. Great service from Crutchfield. Pros: Easy to use, great features, and a good price. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera Better Service Written By Cameraman, Memphis, TN on Thursday, March 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I have been in photography since the 1980s and have own several makes and models ranging from the old Nikon F3 to the Canon EOS 1 film cameras to the modern DSLRs. The Nikon D5100 is a very capable camera that does not disappoint. The images, even jpegs, are very crisp and vibrant and accurate. I used it at my wife's school capturing over 150 images with only one disappointing image. Movies were very good as well. There are no quick dials like on the D7000 but the menu is easy to learn. The body isn't made like bodies of old, but is lighter in weight. But what is best of all is the great service that Crutchfield provides. There were a couple issues that were resolved above and beyond what I expected even though one concerned a mistake that I had made. I was in customer service for 25 years but Crutchfield takes it to a new level. They have competitive prices and great service. Pros: Same sensor as Nikon D7000 HDR 1080p Movies jpegs need very little tweaking great service Cons: none 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great light camera D5100 Written By BobH, McKinney, TX on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I am 67, semi pro with 40 yrs. of photography under my belt. Last year I bought the D7000 over the D5100 because I use the veiw finder exclusiely and thought that was it for the 5100. Well, let me tell you! The D5100 has a lot going for it. This is only the forth day with it, but it has everything a non studio photographer needs. It can work for newbies, but I am going to take it to Canada & Ireland with me this year. If you plan to loan your camera....get the D7000. It has a medal case and the 5100 seems to be plastic. In hine sight, I wish I bought the 5100 insted of the P500 and YES I am a big fan of NIKON. A word to the wise....your pictures are only as good as the lens you use! And if you plan on watching your pixs on TV, like I do, go with the GLASS! Pros: ALL you need and more. It will stay NEW for a VERY LONG time. The plastic frame has reduced the weight dramaticly and is my favorite thing to write about. I use zoom lens, so weight reduction is number ONE on my hit parade! This camera could bake a cake! Cons: The only negative, this the plastic case. However, I take good care of my cameras..... all dozen! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

No lenses are included. The package also includes a EN-EL14 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and a battery charger. Vari-angle LCD Monitor: The Nikon D5100 has a 3" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 921,000 pixels and adjustable brightness (-3 to +3). The Vari-angle monitor opens outward 180°, and can be rotated 180° forward or 90° backward for high- and low-angle photography. The large 3-inch LCD monitor has large fonts with easy-to-view menus. The monitor can display shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of exposures remaining as well as the settings currently applied. You can choose from a classic information display or a graphic display. Live View: The camera features Live View, which allows you to frame your photographs in the monitor instead of the viewfinder. When the Live View switch is rotated, the mirror is raised and the view through the lens will be displayed in the monitor. The subject will no longer be visible in the viewfinder. The Live View display will show up to 10 items, including shooting, focus, and AF-area modes, along with other status indicators. You can opt to hide many of the indicators, or overlay a framing grid in the monitor. Optical Viewfinder: The D5100 uses a fixed eye-level penta-mirror single-lens reflex viewfinder with a built-in diopter adjustment to set the viewfinder to your personal eyesight (with or without glasses). The viewfinder's coverage area is approximately 95% horizontal and vertical. During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece. Image Sensor: The D5100 features a 23.6mm x 15.6mm CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.9 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 16.2 million. Dust Reduction System: The image sensor is equipped with a low-pass filter to remove dust or dirt on the sensor. You can set the camera to clean the image sensor automatically at startup, or at shut down, or both. It can also be set to turn the auto cleaning function off. Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards up to 2 GB in size, SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB, and SDXC cards up to 64 GB. No SD cards are included with the camera. The camera has no internal memory. Still Image Formats: The D5100 records still images in JPEG and NEF (RAW) formats. You can choose from the following Image Quality and Image Size settings: Quality Option (Compression ratio) Available Image Sizes Description NEF (Raw) 4928 x 3264 Raw 14-bit data from the image sensor is saved directly to the memory card in compressed Nikon Electronic Format (NEF). Settings such as white balance and contrast can be adjusted on a computer after shooting. NEF + JPEG Fine 4928 x 3264 Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one fine-quality JPEG image. NEF + JPEG Normal Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one normal-quality JPEG image. NEF + JPEG Basic Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one basic-quality JPEG image. JPEG Fine (1:4) L: 4928 x 3264 M: 3696 x 2448 S: 2464 x 1632 Fine image quality, suitable for enlargements or high-quality prints. JPEG Normal (1:8) Normal image quality, suited to most applications JPEG Basic (1:16) Basic image quality, suitable for pictures that will be distributed by e-mail or used in web pages. Movie Recording: The D5100 records movies in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition in 3:2. Movies are recorded in MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 advanced video coding, and Linear PCM audio, recorded by the built-in monaural microphone. The maximum clip length is 20 minutes or 4 GB in size. The only metering method available is Matrix. Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates: Frame Size (pixels) Frame Rate (frames per second) 1920 x 1080 (16:9) 30 fps (29.97) 25 fps (for PAL displays) 24 fps (23.976) 1280 x 720 (16:9) 30 fps (29.97) 25 fps (for PAL displays) 24 fps (23.976) 640 x 424 (3:2) 30 fps (29.97) 25 fps (for PAL displays) Focus Modes: You can choose from the following autofocus and manual focus modes: Auto-servo AF (AF-A): Camera automatically selects single-servo autofocus if subject is stationary, and continuous-servo autofocus if subject is moving. Single-servo Autofocus (AF-S): For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Continuous-servo Autofocus (AF-C): For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway. Manual (M): Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when autofocus does not produce the desired results. AF Assist Illuminator: The built-in AF assist illuminator enables the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. This feature will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. It has an operating range of 1'-8" to 9'-10". AF-Area Modes: The D5100 offers a choice of four focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. The AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected and what happens if the subject moves out of the selected focus area while the camera is still focusing. You can choose one of the following AF-area modes: Single Point: You select the focus area manually and the camera focuses on the subject in the selected focus area only. The selection can be made from any one of the eleven AF spot sensors. Dynamic Area: In AF-A and AF-C modes, user selects focus point manually but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points if subject briefly leaves the selected point. In AF-S focus mode, you select the focus point manually. Auto Area: Camera automatically detects subject and selects focus point. 3D-Tracking (11 points): In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, you select the focus point using the multi-selector. If subject moves after camera has focused, camera uses 3D tracking to select new focus point and keep focus locked on original subject while shutter release pressed halfway. If subject leaves viewfinder, you will need to remove finger from shutter release button and recompose photo with subject in the selected focus point. Focus Lock: Focus Lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in one of the focus points in the final composition. Release Modes: The camera can take pictures one at a time, or continuously as long as the shutter release button is pressed. You can also take photos using the self-timer or with an optional remote control. The camera allows you to choose from the following Release Modes: Single Frame: The camera takes one photograph each time the shutter release button is pressed Continuous: The camera records photographs up to 4 frames per second while the shutter release button is held down. Self-timer: This mode can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. The shutter is released about 10 or 2 seconds after shutter-release button is pressed depending on setting. Delayed Remote: Shutter is released 2 seconds after the shutter release button on the optional ML-L3 remote is pressed. Quick-response Remote: Shutter is released when the shutter release button on the optional ML-L3 remote is pressed. Quiet Shutter Release: The camera takes a single photograph, as in Single Frame mode, except that the camera makes no shutter sound when shooting or beep when focusing. Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D5100's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. Metering: You can choose from the following Metering Modes to determine how the camera sets exposure: Matrix: Produces natural results in most situations. Camera uses 420-pixel RGB sensor to meter a wide area of the frame and set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and with type G or D lenses, range information. (See 3D Color Matrix Metering II above). With other CPU lenses, the camera uses color matrix metering II, which does not include 3D range information. Center-weighted: The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to center area. Spot: The camera meters exposure in active focus point only. This ensures that the subject will be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker. Shooting Modes: The Mode Dial on the top of the camera offers a choice of shooting modes: Auto Modes: Auto: The camera handles exposure, shutter-speed, ISO sensitivity and White balance so you can just point and shoot. Auto Flash Off: Captures scenes using only available lighting. Ideal for museums, weddings or any situation where a flash is prohibited or inappropriate. Scene Auto Selector: When in Live View in Auto or Auto Flash Off modes, the camera will automatically analyze the subject and select the appropriate shooting mode when autofocus is enabled. Modes that can be selected include: portrait, landscape, close up, and night portrait (see descriptions below). P, S, A, and M Modes: Programmed Auto: Choose from one of the automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combinations and allows control over exposure compensation, metering and other features. Shutter-Priority Auto: You determine the shutter speed to freeze or blur motion, while the camera decides the ideal aperture. Aperture-Priority Auto: Simply select the aperture to control the depth-of-field and the camera determines the ideal shutter speed. Manual: Choose both the shutter speed and the aperture on your own. You can refer to the electronic analog exposure display of the camera for help with appropriate exposures. Scene Modes: Portrait: Keeps your main subject in sharp focus with a soft background for more pleasing portraits. Landscape: Ideal for beautiful scenery with great perspectives and optimized greens and blues. Child: Delivers fresh, natural skin tones for stunning shots of children. Clothing also vividly rendered. Sports: Freezes fast-moving subjects easily. Close Up: Find beauty in small details by focusing sharply on a small area with a softly blurred background. Ideal for flowers and coins or other small treasures. Other Scenes: After selecting Other Scenes, you can use the command dial to find these scene settings: Night Portrait: Capture your main subject in low light while retaining a natural looking background exposure. Night Landscape: For shooting night nightscapes with street lighting and neon signs (tripod recommended) Party/Indoor: For parties and other indoor scenes. Beach/Snow: Capture the brightness of sunlit expanses of water, snow, or sand Sunset: For preserving the deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises (tripod recommended when lighting is poor) Dusk/Dawn: For preserving the colors in weak natural light before dawn or after sunset. Pet Portrait: For portraits of active pets. Candlelight: For taking photos lit by candlelight (tripod recommended) Blossom: For fields of flowers, orchards in bloom, or other landscapes featuring expanses of blossoms. Autumn Colors: For capturing the brilliant reds and yellows of autumn leaves. Food: For vivid photos of food. Effects: You can choose from the following special effects for still images and movies: Night Vision: records monochrome images in darkness Color Sketch: camera detects and colors outlines for a color sketch effect. Miniature Effect: distant subjects appear as miniatures Selective Color: records in black and white except those items in a chosen color. Silhouette: silhouettes subjects against bright backgrounds High Key: use with bright scenes to create bright images Low Key: use with dark scenes to create dark, somber images with highlights AE/AF Lock: If your subject is off-centered in the frame, it can become difficult to achieve proper exposure and focus. By engaging the AE/AF Lock feature, you can focus and meter on your subject, lock the exposure and focus by pressing the shutter release button halfway, then recompose your shot before taking the picture. You can choose from the following AE/AF Lock settings. AE/AF Lock: both focus and exposure lock while the AE/AF lock button is pressed AE Lock: exposure locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the focus is unaffected AF Lock: focus locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the exposure is unaffected align AE Lock Hold: exposure locks when the AE/AF lock button is pressed and remains locked until the button is pressed again AF-On: the AE/AF button initiates autofocus while the shutter-release button cannot be used to focus Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -5.0 to +5.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Noise Reduction: This option controls whether photographs taken at high sensitivities (over ISO 400) or shutter speeds slower than 8 seconds are processed to reduce noise before being recorded to the memory card. If turned off, noise reduction will only be performed at ISO sensitivities over ISO 800, and does not apply to noise caused by slow shutter speeds. White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. When the camera is set to one of the exposure modes, you can choose one of the following white balance options: Auto: The white balance is automatically adjusted to suit the lighting conditions. Incandescent: This is used under incandescent lighting situations. Fluorescent: This is used for most fluorescent lighting conditions. Direct Sunlight: This is for use with subjects that are under direct sunlight. Flash: This is for use with built-in Speedlight or optional Nikon Speedlights are used. Cloudy: This is used when taking pictures under overcast skies. Shade: This is used under sunny skies when subject is in shade. Preset: A white object is used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Note: In addition to the the basic White Balance options, the camera features advanced White Balance (color temperature) settings for specific types of lighting. You can choose from Sodium-vapor lamps, Incandescent/Warm-white fluorescent, White fluorescent, Cool-white fluorescent, Day white fluorescent, Daylight fluorescent, and Mercury-vapor lamps. ISO Sensitivity: ISO Sensitivity is the digital equivalent of film speed. When lighting is poor, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures, and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement, up to a maximum equivalent of ISO 6400. Using the ISO button and main command dial, you can manually select from ISO settings 100 to 6400, with incremental steps of 1EV. You can also choose HI 0.3, HI 0.7, HI 1 (ISO 12800 equivalent) or HI 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent) for even higher sensitivity. Active D-Lighting: Nikon's Active D-Lighting can correct exposure issues due to difficult lighting conditions instantly and automatically while you shoot. Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural contrast. Speedlight With i-TTL Automatic Flash Control: Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always ready to bring beautiful exposures to darkened conditions, as well as add sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and a great picture. You can choose one of the following flash modes: TTL: output of built-in Speedlight is adjusted automatically in response to shooting conditions Manual: allows you to adjust the power of the Speedlight to one of the following settings: 1/32 power, 1/16 power, 1/8 power, 1/4 power, 1/2 power, or Full power Flash Sync Modes: The camera offers the following flash sync modes depending upon the shooting mode selected: Off: flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit Auto: When lighting is poor or the subject is back lit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Red-eye Reduction: reduces the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash Slow Sync: flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 seconds to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light Slow Sync with Red-eye Reduction: combines red-eye reduction with slow sync Rear-curtain Sync: The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating effect of stream of light following moving subjects Fill Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken Flash Compensation: In P, S, A, and M modes, the flash compensation can be used to increase or reduce flash output from the level chosen by the camera's flash control system. The flash exposure compensation can be set to values between -3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of 1/3 EV. Accessory Shoe: The camera's integrate accessory shoe located above the viewfinder allows you to connect optional SB-series Speedlights. The shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash units with a locking pin, such as the SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400. The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units. Histogram: The D5100 features the ability to view a histogram on the LCD monitor screen. A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Separate histograms of the red, green, and blue channels are also available for viewing. Picture Controls: When the camera is set to one of the P, S, A, or M modes, you can choose from the following Picture Control options: Standard: Standard processing for balanced results--recommended for most situations. Neutral: Minimal processing for natural results. Choose for photos that will later be extensively processed or retouched. Vivid: Pictures are enhanced for a vivid photoprint effect.

Gallery: Beautiful Modern Home Keeps Cool Buried Beneath the Chihuahuan...
Located in the northern part of Mexico, the 'House in Chihuahua' is a white concrete and glass sloping roof building boasting rooftop views to the city. Since the dwelling is within a traditional community, regulations stated that at least 80% of the roof had to be inclined to avoid a 'modern' architectural aesthetic. Therefore Productora reinterpreted the rules, building a set of sloping roofs as one continuous surface.
The different inclines of the roofs provide shelter and great outdoor terraces to enjoy the desert views and deep blue Mexican sky. The concrete shell naturally absorbs daytime heat releasing it to the building during the night, saving the home energy when the temperatures drop fast. A series of big windows, outdoor patios and varied height terraces provide the house with plenty of natural light, ventilation, and of course, spectacular views of the surrounding environment.
From the street side, the building is only perceived as a single white volume with wooden shutters, but upon entering the shelter, the interior transforms into a complex and dynamic space. The different sized rooms are all bundled together beaneath a set of sloping roofs to create an artificial topography that merges with the natural surroundings.

Fascinating design. You'd think it would require more heating because of the large quantities of windows, but as the article said, the designer already accounted for that. Less energy consumption = less gas and coal burned. Good job!

MPI experts, along with representatives from Gwinnett County Public Schools and the University of Georgia's Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education, discuss the educational experiences of Georgia's first- and second-generation immigrant youth and where Georgia's ambitious education reforms have met—or failed to meet—the needs of this growing population.
This report analyzes the educational experiences and outcomes of immigrant youth ages 16 to 26 across Georgia's education systems, encompassing K-12, adult, and postsecondary. By examining these interconnected systems together, the analysis offers linked strategies for advancing the educational attainment of Georgia's immigrant youth.
The winners of the Migration Policy Institute's 2013 E Pluribus Unum Prizes, honoring exceptional immigrant integration initiatives in the United States, discuss their work at an award ceremony on December 4, 2013 in Washington, DC.
This report profiles the population of Dual Language Learner children in the United States, who represent nearly one-third of all U.S. children under age 6, outlining school readiness and patterns of achievement. It evaluates the research on early care and education approaches that have been shown to support higher levels of language and literacy development for this population.
This statement outlines the guiding principles and recommendations of the ninth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which focused on how public and private-sector actors can make smart investments in underutilized workers, including immigrants. A key goal: how to maximize the potential of those with skills of all types, including the often-overlooked middle skills.
This report evaluates the participation of immigrants in the German workforce development system, highlighting that immigrants are less likely than nonimmigrants to engage in further education or skills training, detailing the various barriers immigrants face in accessing programs for skills development, and proposing policy reforms to reduce these barriers.
An examination of Canada's workforce development system and policies at a time of high unemployment among Canada's immigrants, this report covers why a growing number of policymakers think that the system may need reform. It also offers recommendations for more effective workforce development policies.
This report, the first in a series examining workforce development systems in three countries, focuses on the increasingly employer-led and flexible UK system that operates alongside centralized immigration and employment policies.

Buck Clayton (born Wilbur Dorsey Clayton; Parsons, Kansas, November 12, 1911 â[][] New York City, December 8, 1991) was an American jazz trumpet player who was a leading member of Count Basieâ[][]s "Old Testament" orchestra and a leader of mainstream-oriented jam session recordings in the 1950s. His principal influence was Louis Armstrong. The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that he â[][]synthesi[zed] much of the history of jazz trumpet up to his own time, with a bright brassy tone and an apparently limitless facility for melodic improvisationâ[]. Clayton worked closely with Li Jinhui, father of Chinese popular music in Shanghai. His contributions helped change musical history in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Dampness is a major source of disrepair in a house and can be caused by several factors such as:
Damp can cause mould growth, can cause wood to rot and other materials to decay. It will spoil decorations and will encourage development of mites and increase the risk of respiratory illness.
Condensation normally occurs in the coldest months of the year and is due to moisture being held in the air. This moisture is naturally present; however, cooking, washing, bathing and drying clothes all produce excess moisture.
When this air meets a cold surface e.g. an external wall or window, it condenses i.e. it changes back into water causing damp patches and misty windows. As moulds and fungi prefer damp conditions, the damp areas provide an ideal environment for mould growth.
Unfortunately, there are no instant cures for condensation. However, if the guidelines below are followed, the level of condensation in your home can be reduced to a manageable level.
To remove mould, wipe down walls and window frames with a quarter strength bleach solution or a fungicidal wash. Be careful to wear rubber gloves and not to spill the solution on clothes and furnishings. Dry clean mildewed clothes and shampoo carpets. Decorate using fungicidal paint.

Clean Cities Model Helps Fleets Analyze Natural Gas Options
August 22, 2011
Clean Cities' Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) is providing assistance to fleet managers interested in using natural gas in buses or refuse haulers. The Clean Cities Vehicle and Infrastructure Cash-Flow Evaluation (VICE) Model helps fleet managers determine whether compressed natural gas (CNG) makes sense for their operations by allowing them to enter specific fleet data into an Excel spreadsheet.
Many fleets find CNG to be a cost-effective, clean-burning alternative to gasoline or diesel. However, there are significant up-front costs associated with a transition to CNG, including fueling infrastructure development, new vehicle purchases, and vehicle conversions. The VICE Model helps fleet managers estimate the return on investment and payback period for those up-front costs. The model also demonstrates the relationship between project profitability and fleet operating parameters, including the number of fleet vehicles, types of vehicles, and monthly fuel use.
Fleet managers can access the VICE Model on the AFDC, where they will also find the accompanying Business Case for Compressed Natural Gas in Municipal Fleets. This document provides a thorough description of the VICE Model, required data inputs, and the model's default assumptions.

Name: Late stage assay provider results from the probe development effort to identify inhibitors of Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4): colorimetric biochemical substrate assay to determine rate constants of test compounds for PAD 4 inactivation.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disorder that affects about one percent of the US population (1). Existing therapies treat the symptoms of the disease but not the underlying cause, and are associated with numerous side effects (2). The activity of Protein Arginine Deiminase 4 (PAD4), one of four known active PAD isozymes, is increased in RA; where it is thought to generate a subset of antigens that the immune system recognizes as foreign (3). Genetic, serological, and biochemical evidence suggests that dysregulated PAD4, and potentially PAD2, activities play a role in both the onset and progression of RA (1). Cl-amidine, a compound that specifically inactivates PAD4, reduces disease severity and incidence in the collagen-induced model of arthritis (CIA) (unpublished observations). However, because Cl-amidine inhibits all of the PAD isozymes with equipotency, it is unclear whether the observed reduction in disease severity is due to the inhibition of single or multiple PADs. This is particularly relevant because both PAD 2 and 4 are overexpressed in the joints of patients with RA (4). Thus, the identification of PAD selective inhibitors would facilitate the characterization of their individual contributions to the onset and progression of RA and represent a promising novel therapeutic approach for RA.

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to more rigorously determine the potency of test compounds as inhibitors of human recombinant PAD4 using a biochemical substrate assay. The k_inact(app)/KI value for PAD4 is determined by measuring the rate of human recombinant PAD4 enzyme inactivation as a function of time at a single inhibitor concentration. In this assay, PAD4 is pre-incubated with test compound or DMSO control, followed by a biochemical determination of residual enzymatic activity. Substrate N-a-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester HCl (BAEE) is added, and the percent activity remaining is determined by measuring the amount of citrulline produced using a standard colorimetric absorbance assay. As designed, test compounds that act as PAD4 inhibitors will prevent the production of citrulline.
Protocol Summary:
The Inactivation Reaction proceeded by incubating test compounds (10 uM) with purified PAD4 (2 uM) for various time points between 0 and 60 minutes at 37 C (60 uL total volume in 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH: 7.6, 10 mM CaCl2, and 2 mM DTT). After the designated time point, an aliquot (6 uL) of the Inactivation Reaction was added to pre-incubated Reaction Buffer containing N-a-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester HCl (BAEE; 10 mM final) to measure the residual activity. The Reaction Mixtures (60 uL total volume) were pre-incubated at 37 C for 10 minutes before adding aliquots from the Inactivation Reaction. The final reaction proceeded for 15 minutes at which point the reaction was stopped by flash freezing in liquid N2. 200 uL of a color-developing reagent that detects the product citrulline was added; the COLDER solution consists of solution A (80 mM diacetyl monoxime and 2 mM thiosemicarbazide) and solution B (3 M H3PO4, 6 M H2SO4, and 2 mM NH4Fe(SO4)2) in a 1:3 ratio. This mixture was incubated for 30 minutes at 95 C, at which point the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The amount of product produced was determined by comparison to a standard curve with known concentrations of citrulline. The data obtained were fit to the following equation using Grafit version 5.0.11.
v = v0 * e^( -k(obs) * t )
v is the velocity
vo is the initial velocity
k(obs) is the observed pseudo-first-order rate constant for inactivation,
t is time
The k_inact(app)/KI was determined by dividing the inactivation rate (kobs) by the concentration of inhibitor.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds with a k_inact(app)/KI value greater than or equal to 1500/(min*M) were considered active.
The PubChem Activity Score is assigned a value of 100 for active compounds, and 0 for inactive compounds.
The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-100. There are no inactive compounds.

I recently upgraded from my Diversion 165 to a brand new Dynasty 200 DX. It is nice to be able to unplug the leads from the machine when storing or moving it. It would be nice if the power cord could also be disconnected. But that would only be a request...
I decided to make a dedicated ground cable from my bench top TIG table/work surface. I purchased some ground cable and a LENCO LDC-50 DINSE. Of course the "industry standard" DINSE connector will not connect to the Dynasty. It seems that Miller has decided to chamfer the ends of their DINSE connectors and recess the insulation on the sockets on the welder. Thus you need to purchase a Miller OEM or perhaps Miller specific (if there is such a thing) connector. Of course I can and will simply chamfer the LENCO connector to fit. But give me a break... - 10 points for Miller on this one.
And finally, Miller supplied a shoulder strap with the machine. It has a nice quick connect buckle and all. However, the buckle WILL NOT FIT through the slots on the end of the machine! So the buckle is totally, positively and absolutely WORTHLESS! Granted the shoulder strap is only a minor component of the overall package. I probably would never have used it even if the buckle did fit. Still, it makes one wonder...
If a company has designers, reviewers, testers, managers etc. who let something like this pass - what else did they screw up???

Dynasty 200 - Miller, why do you do these things?
Well, standard (non-Miller) dinse connectors do fit, I use em all the time, as for the shoulder strap, you just have to know how to connect it, as they fit fine as well.
The first couple I swore at, but the next 500 were easy.

So let's see...you can't figure out how to get your DINSE into the hole (sounds like a personal problem) ... and you're mad because your ManBag shoulder strap clashes with your Window Treatments.
Geesh, you're almost as bad as the guy who considered it a "factory defect" that his Dynasty's faceplate wasn't painted with "Made in USA" in the right place.

Thanks cruizer but I beg to differ. The brass part of the standard plug WILL fit into the Dynasty socket. However, it is prevented by the insulator from entering far enough to engage the tab on the plug into the slot in the socket and it will not rotate. I sanded a slight bevel on the insulator to mimic the Miller configuration and it now will insert sufficiently to turn and tighten.
As to the strap... The cover of the owner's manual does indeed show how to install the strap and use the keeper to join the two loose ends and adjust the length. If the strap is installed this way it cannot be removed without taking it apart at the keeper. Thus the quick connect serves no purpose.
I joined the strap into a continuous loop, fed it doubled through each of the end pieces and held it in place with a couple of dowels just as the oiler holds the sling on the butt stock of an M1 Carbine. I tried it on for size and decided I would rather carry it by the handle.

Course overview
This doctoral course covers the design, implementation and interpretation of econometric methods used for evaluating causal relationships in education research. We will read and discuss applied methodological texts as well as journal articles using advanced causal methods. We will cover randomized experiments, natural experiments, differences-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and propensity score matching. Goals of the course are for students to understand the conceptual underpinnings of each type of study design; to be able to critically evaluate particular studies utilizing of each approach; to gain first-hand experience in formulating causal questions and implementing a causal method; and to develop skills in communicating research designs and findings (in both written and presentation form). Students will be expected to complete all readings and prepare answers to discussion questions in advance of each class. Students will work in teams to replicate and extend a paper using these causal methods and will present findings to the class. The course is designed for second-year PhD students in the Economics and Education program; other doctoral students and advanced masters candidates with appropriate preparation are also welcome, space permitting.
- Graduate-level statistics (at a minimum, multiple regression analysis, familiarity with concepts of statistical bias and precision)
- Microeconomics (e.g. exposure to concepts of consumer theory, producer theory, equilibrium analysis, market failure, welfare analysis, choice under uncertainty)
- Students with any questions about their preparation after the first day of class are encouraged to contact the professor for further guidance.
- To understand the conceptual underpinnings of current methods for causal inference
- To be able to read and critically evaluate papers that utilize these methods
- To gain first-hand experience formulating causal questions and implementing causal methods
- To develop skills in communicating research designs and findings in both written and oral form
- To encourage and facilitate collaborative learning and teaching between students
Course overview
- Graduate-level microeconomics (e.g. concepts of consumer theory, partial equilibrium, choice under uncertainty, welfare analysis)
- Graduate-level statistics and/or econometrics (at a minimum, regression analysis, familiarity with concepts of statistical bias and precision)
- A course in causal inference is strongly recommended as a prerequisite, but not required
Course objectives
- To understand and be able to explain key theoretical concepts in labor economics
- To be able to read and critique papers that test these concepts empirically
- To understand the strengths and limitations of methodological tools commonly used in the field

We were in a town called Enderby and came across Jerry's Antiques and Things. The store was packed to the rafters with interesting and quirky pieces.
My favorite was this antique stove. I can not imagine cooking on one of these although I have cooked on an oil stove with a cast iron top. We used to fry slices of potatoes right on the top without any oil. Boy were we poor. Blackened potatoes will not make it on to any Foodie Friday posts.
The Gurney Tilden company was in Hamilton, Ontario and also in Toronto.
