Amanda Bynes (Twitter)
On Wednesday, the 25-year-old tweeted a series of topless photos of herself in racy black undergarments, which might have been sexy if taken out of context.
But thinking about what's come before it, well, it just seems a little sad.
In the last year, Bynes has been arrested for DUI and other reckless driving offenses, reportedly locked herself in a dressing room for nearly two hours, and has posted plenty of seriously strange tweets. Bynes talked about wanting Drake to "murder" her lady parts and suing media outlets that wrote about her exploits, and showed off changes to her appearance, such as piercing her cheeks and shaving one side of her head via pics on the social media site.
[Related: Amanda Bynes Has Twitter War With Jenny McCarthy]
Still, the "What I Like About You" actress has continued to insist that all is well with her.
She added that, "The only ones lying about me having a mental illness are people I don't talk to."
The former child star also ruled out a traditional cause of bad behavior.
"I don't drink," she said. "I'm allergic to alcohol."
So, it sounds like everything is fine!

Where do you rank Montgomery among DE's?
Where do you rank Montgomery among DE's?
I ranked him in the 4-5 range. I would do the rankings like this:
1. Damontre Moore
2. Bjoern Werner
3. Dion Jordan
4. Sam Montgomery
5. Barkevious Mingo
I actually like Montgomery better than Mingo. Just my preference.
"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
Montgomery sounds intriguing due to his strength and ability to bully. You have Dion Jordan above Montgomery on your list. Can you share why you place Jordan higher than Montgomery?
I really like Jordan's length and quickness. Those long arms will help to keep the OL off of him. He does not have the the power to to take on the power of the OL one on one, but I think with his frame that over a couple of years he could develop more power and fit into the 4-3 scheme. Right now I see him as more of a 3-4 OLB, but I think with the right coaching and growing into his body, he could become a 4-3 DE. I am using the dreaded term "potential" as he relates to our team, but I think he has huge upside. He has the work ethic to achieve the necessary improvements and when that happens look out.
It will be interesting to see how he works out at the combine. He may struggle in the BP, but remember the lift favors those with shorter arms from a leverage standpoint. I think he will do very well in the agility events.
51. Jonathan Jenkins DT Georgia 6'3" 351
University of Georgia defensive tackle Jonathan Jenkins is a big time space eater that can occupy multiple blockers and collapse the pocket through the middle. At 6'3" and 351 lbs., Jenkins has the potential to be a nose tackle in 3-4 schemes and a legitimate two-down 4-3 defensive tackle.
Jenkins flashes his best skills against the run. He can cover two gaps with his girth alone. Average burst off the line and can anchor well, even versus double teams. Technically lacking in some regards, specifically hand combat and hand placement. Must learn to keep his outside arm free more consistently in order to grab hold of the ball-carrier, and part of this technique is establishing position with his feet first.
Pass-rushing is lacking and lacks reliable moves to break blocks. In order to become a more proficient pass blocker, he must sink in with his hips and drive from his feet and through his body more often. He will wear down later in games and tends to lean on players rather than really getting after it. Jenkins has a solid motor though and can play with a nasty attitude when properly motivated. In the 2013 NFL Draft, you can expect this senior defensive tackle to come off the board somewhere in the first round
52. Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU 6'5" 240
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/p...ospect_id=3334Louisiana State University has put out many great players in recent years and outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo will continue that tradition. Of the many quality pass-rushers available in this year's draft class, Mingo has the most explosive first step. His acceleration is among the elite. Mingo is at his best when he can focus his play downhill. Using long arms and a deceptive strength, he can use rip and bull rush techniques to get after the quarterback. One unique problem he has is that he is so quick off the edge that he will sometimes go after the quarterback recklessly, causing him to miss the big play. Against the run, he has a long way to go. He will require a year or two to add bulk to his frame and he will continue to fill out in his first few years in the league.
One tricky aspect of scouting Mingo is that LSU uses a rotation along their defensive line because of incredible depth. There's nothing on tape to suggest he lacks a motor or tenacity to his game though.
Mingo will likely begin his career as a pass-rush specialist as he transitions into the role of a 3-4 OLB. In particular, his tackling technique in open spaces will need refinement as well. These small criticisms take away attention from the overwhelming positives in his game. Look for him to hear his name very early in the 2013 NFL Draft.
53. Kevin Reddick ILB UNC 6'3" 240
http://nflmocks.com/2011/11/19/kevin...orth-carolina/There is a lot to like about Reddick, hes an instinctive linebacker who has good size and plays physical. He does a real good job of making plays when hes in pass coverage. He gets his hands on a lot of passes. Hes also always around the football, he has the ability to play side line to sideline and is a good form tackler. He attacks the line of scrimmage and makes plays in the run game as well, he still could stand to get stronger if hes going to play in the middle because he can struggle to disengage from blocks at times and sometimes he seems to be a little bit out of position.
All in all Ive been impressed with Reddick and think hes clearly one of the best inside linebacker prospects in this draft class. Hes a three down linebacker at the N.F.L. level and thats hard to find in this day and age.
I find both Reddick and Minter a bit meh.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett
54. Desmond Trufant CB Washington 6'0" 185
http://walterfootball.com/scoutingre...13dtrufant.phpTrufant has a skill set for the NFL. Assuming his listed measurements are accurate, he has good height and length to be a starting cornerback in the NFL. Trufant has nice quickness and agility to be a man cover corner. He is very solid in run defense, too; having nice technique and no hesitation to get in on tackles.
The senior has to improve his ball skills and takeaways in 2012. That is a significant weakness as Trufant has just three interceptions with 18 passes broken up in his two years as a starter. He has good bloodlines with his older brother Marcus Trufant enjoying a quality NFL career. At worst, Desmond Trufant has the ability to be a backup and special teams contributor at the next level.
Trufant is most likely as a second-day pick.
55. Shawn Williams SS Georgia 6'1" 217
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings...2013&genpos=ss12/4/12 NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: 1. Shawn Williams, SS, Georgia...The Bulldogs' defense has numerous players who will be starring on Sundays next season or in the near future, Williams included. But against Alabama, it wasn't a strong performance for the Georgia strong safety. He finished with nine tackles and was involved in several plays, but also left some production on the field and several times he went backwards when attempting to tackle Alabama s running backs Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon.Williams showed good downhill speed when attacking the run, but he slowed his feet upon contact on several occasions and found himself caught out of position, making the tackle tougher. With near-linebacker size (6-1, 217), he has made some punishing hits over his career, but against the Crimson Tide, he played too hesitant at the point of attack.
Williams called out the defense earlier this season for being too soft and he could have taken some of his own advice in this contest as he appeared to playing to not make mistakes instead of aggressively finishing plays. Williams still has top-100 potential for next April, but his performance in the SEC Championship Game won t help that cause.

Midwest Living Review
Visitors to Wisconsin Dells should head to the H.H. Bennett Studio (admission $7), one of Wisconsin's 10 state historic sites. Though it may seem like the Dells came about because of water parks and goofy attractions, there's a lot more to the story. Back in the 19th century, locals revered the stunning, untouched Cambrian sandstone formations lining the Wisconsin River. The formations also caught the eye of H.H. Bennett, a top landscape photographer. His stereoscopic images began luring curious visitors, kicking off a wave of tourism.
Bennett's studio consists of three parts: a museum about his life and photography (including his 1875 studio and equipment), a store where visitors can purchase prints and other items and the studio space where Bennett's prints are crafted today. (His studio, incidentally, is considered the oldest operating photography studio in the nation.)
Exhibits reflect Bennett's fascination with the local Ho-Chunk Indian tribe and with inventing things. You'll learn that he was a master pitchman who drew visitors to the area with his intriguing photos, like the iconic image of his son jumping from a bluff to a freestanding rock formation a few feet away. In the museum, the carpet alongside this famous image contains inlays the exact size of the two rocks spaced the same distance apart, allowing guests to take the leap for themselves.

"A majestic orange flavored cheesecake swirled with chocolate goodness. Orange liqueur may be substituted for the orange juice in equal amounts. These cheesecake not only looks fabulous, but the flavor will send you to cheesecake heaven."

1 1/2 cups
graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup
white sugar
1/3 cup
butter, melted
4 ounces
semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
white sugar
2 tablespoons
orange juice
1/2 teaspoon
grated orange zest
I'm giving this 4 stars because the original recipe does need a little help. First of all, the orange juice and zest contain nowhere near enough flavor to make this cheesecake taste orange-y at all. I suggest using a teaspoon or two of orange extract as well. I added all the orange flavors to the white batter only. I reserved the two cups for the chocolate before I added them, so the chocolate and orange would contrast nicely. The crust is great. Be sure you let your cream cheese and eggs sit out until they are at room temp, or you'll over beat the batter trying to get the lumps out. Over beating leads to all kinds of cheesecake problems! Anyway, lined my springform pan with foil and baked my cheesecake in a water bath. I had no structural or textural problems except for a few bubbles from slightly over beating. After it was done (60 min), I turned off the oven and let it cool for an hour inside. Then I took it out and let it cool completely on a wire rack. I chilled the cake overnight. I removed the hoop and bottom of the pan (tricky), and scored the top of the cake into 12 even portions. Garnished it with whipped cream from a pastry bag with a large star tip, chocolate filigree, and orange twists. I also served it with the Marmalade Drizzle from the Orange Pudding Cakes with Marmalade Drizzle recipe from this site as a sauce. It was a perfect addition to this cheesecake.
This is a very tasty, easy recipe. I made it with Grand Marnier instead of the orange juice and the cake had a lovely light flavor. It's more of a creamy cheesecake, and it's very dense. My only complaint is that the graham cracker crust was too crumbly. When I was marbling my two batters the crust was pulled away from the pan and into the cake. When it was done baking and chilling the crust stayed mostly together, but I think it was just fused to the cake. Next time I think I'll make a chocolate cookie crust and use a darker chocolate in the cake (the semi-sweet didn't prove to be quite chocolatey enough). Thanks very much for sharing this recipe.

Oh my goodness was this good the only change I made was to use 4 teaspoons orange concentrate instead of 2 tablespoons of orange juice, because I really like the taste of orange and chocolate. I also melted the chocolate in the microwave. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe
This is my goto recipe for cheesecake. It is dense and creamy. Also very versatile; I've substituted the chocolate and orange with both blueberry and strawberry puree. It makes a very pretty dessert garnished with the fresh fruit and always satisfies. Also can be frozen and enjoyed later. I always put the springform pan on top of a muffin pan filled with water when baking and it helps prevent cracks. Thanks for sharing. This dessert always wins rave reviews from friends and family members.
Excellent. I added 2T orange juice plus an additional 1 teaspoon of orange extract. This was perfect for me. Next time, I will reduce the amount of sugar in the crust.
I made this wonderful recipe for my orange adoring husband for his birthday this past weekend. He along with our guest raved over this chessecake. I followed the advice of the other posts, using 2TBSP of orange juice and 1 teaspn of Orange Extract. The cake had a lovely orange flavor (not at all overpowering) with a nice accent of chocolate. I would highly recommend trying this one!
I made this for a party and everyone loved it. I did use orange extract instead of orange juice and the flavor was wonderful.
This cheesecake was wonderful! Dense and creamy and amazing. Like other reviewers, I decided to up the orange flavor. I didn't have orange extract or orange juice concentrate, so I measured out about 1/3c. orange juice and cooked it down until reduced by half. I also used the orange zest of about one whole medium orange (~2-3 teaspoons). Baked the cheesecake in a hot water bath for exactly one hour then turned the oven off and let it cool inside for another hour. Cooled on a wire rack for a good while (had to fend of some tempted family members at this point, haha) and then chilled overnight. I served this on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and everyone LOVED it!!

Fire Upon the Deep (93 Edition)by Vernor Vinge
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
A Fire Upon the Deep is the big, breakout book that fulfills the promise of Vinge's career to date: a gripping tale of galactic war told on a cosmic scale.
Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence.
Fleeing the threat, a family of scientists, including two children, are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle. A rescue mission, not entirely composed of humans, must rescue the children-and a secret that may save the rest of interstellar civilization.
A Fire Upon The Deep is the winner of the 1993 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
"The author of The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime has created a rarity--a unique blend of hard science, high drama, and superb storytelling" (Library Journal). A rescue mission races against time to save a pair of children being held captive by a medieval lupine race, and recover the weapon that will keep the universe from being changed forever.
In this popular and widely praised novel, a rescue mission races against time to save a pair of human children being held captive by a medieval lupine race-and to recover the weapon that will keep the universe from being changed forever.
In 1992 Vernor Vinge amazed the science fiction world with this epic novel of star-spanning adventure. It won the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and has since become a landmark in the field. Now, with the long awaited sequel The Children of the Sky about to be published, we are proud to offer the first-ever trade paperback edition of this big-screen SF classic.
A Fire Upon The Deep is the winner of the 1993 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
"Fleeing a menace of galactic proportions, a spaceship crashes on an unfamiliar world, leaving the survivors, a pair of children, to the not-so-tender mercies of a medieval, lupine race. Responding to the crippled ship's distress signal, a rescue mission races against time to retrieve the children and recover the weapon they need to prevent the universe from being forever changed."--"Library Journal."
About the Author
Vernor Vinge has won five Hugo Awards, including one for each of his last three novels, A Fire Upon the Deep (1992), A Deepness in the Sky (1999), and Rainbows End (2006). Known for his rigorous hard-science approach to his science fiction, he became an iconic figure among cybernetic scientists with the publication in 1981 of his novella "True Names," which is considered a seminal, visionary work of Internet fiction. His many books also include Marooned in Realtime and The Peace War.
Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin and raised in Central Michigan, Vinge is the son of geographers. Fascinated by science and particularly computers from an early age, he has a Ph.D. in computer science, and taught mathematics and computer science at San Diego State University for thirty years. He has gained a great deal of attention both here and abroad for his theory of the coming machine intelligence Singularity. Sought widely as a speaker to both business and scientific groups, he lives in San Diego, California.

One of the best things about attending college is that it allows you to become a true activist for type 1 diabetes awareness. Most colleges have a Greek system established that you can join, and many have philanthropic initiatives where you can create events to raise money. If you don't want to join the Greek system, you can start your own campus club for people who are interested or contact your school's office of student affairs to organize a walk, run, or bike ride to raise money for a cure. Charities and social causes are very popular on college campuses so there will be many interested young people ready to take action.
Here are just some ideas for how you can help, either independently or with a fraternity or sorority:
Organize a walk, run, or bike ride for type 1 diabetes
On a nice spring day, people love to get out and exercise. Post fliers around campus and send an advertisement to your school's newspaper a few weeks beforehand so that people know about the fundraiser. Pick a central location as a starting point, like a dining hall or activities center. Charge people $10 to participate and encourage them to get sponsors. Make sure that they know that the proceeds will go to JDRF to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. Lastly, offer a reward, like a donated gift certificate, for the people who come in first, second, and third in fundraising. Your local JDRF chapter can give you further ideas.
Have a local band perform a concert on campus to raise money
If you have friends that are musically inclined–maybe they are in a band or are majoring in music at school–figure out a way that they can perform on campus. You may have to get in touch with your school's programs committee about a month in advance to ensure that you can have a space someplace on campus. Next, make sure that word gets around through fliers, the school newspaper, a Web site, and word-of-mouth. Charge a few dollars at the door and let the crowd know that their money is being well-spent.
Write an editorial about type 1 diabetes for your school's newspaper
This is a great way to create type 1 diabetes awareness. It will definitely make people aware of a disease that they may know little to nothing about. Maybe something related to type 1 diabetes is going on in the news and you want to offer your opinion on it. Or you can share a day-in-the-life look at what it's like to have type 1 diabetes.
Host a bake sale
Let's face it. College kids love candy, brownies, cookies, etc. They especially like it when it's cheap. Many clubs and sports teams hold bake sales to raise money, so you may have seen some already. Speak with your campus activities board about starting your own. Hang up colorful signs and banners to attract people's attention. Recruit your friends to supply the food or chip in a few bucks to buy goodies at the supermarket.
Sponsor a dance-off competition
This is a great way to keep people active, laughing, and having a good time. To have a dance-off, you'll need a large space, like a room in the student activities center or a large section of the parking lot. Get a table, hang up signs, and bring a loud boom-box along with your best dance and party mixes. Charge each participant $5 to sign up for the dance-off. It's going to be a long day, so encourage people to bring water and food or provide some at the site. Offer the last person standing a cool hat, t-shirt, or gift certificate. This is a fabulous fundraising technique, and one that people will love to join and watch.
Get local businesses involved
In addition to recruiting the support of your school, your local community and businesses are a great resource for fundraising. Many restaurants offer coupons you can distribute where they donate a portion of a night's proceeds to charities. Some places, like a community center or a cafe, will have space for you to hold events or meetings.
Hold a raffle: Get a group of fine art majors to create diabetes-inspired artwork, and raffle it off to raise funds for a cure. If your artists are concerned about making a commission on their talents, offer them a percentage of what people pay for their piece of art.
Raise your own awareness
Apply for a research-related internship or a study abroad program that will allow you to see how type 1 diabetes affects people all over the world.
Make it a career
Major in something that will allow you to study type 1 diabetes academically or pursue a career in public health. Possible majors include biology/pre-medicine, government/political science, communications, and public policy/public health.
Volunteer with your local JDRF Chapter
JDRF operates with the support of its volunteers. There are countless ways you can help your local chapter with annual events, like the Walk to Cure Diabetes and the Gala, or by mentoring local families. JDRF chapters often need people with diabetes to talk about their lives. Even if it's just stuffing envelopes, the time and effort you spend will be greatly appreciated and rewarding.

Purchased this to replace my old Nikon I traded off. Nice zoom...so far, great pictures. Panorama works great. For those who complain and compare it with a camera costing 2 or 3 times what this one cost...get real, remove the lens cap(not hard to do, or remember) and compare with similarly priced cameras. A lot of features in this one. 1st time using, took 92 pictures at a Birthday party, inside and outside. Three or four were not great, but I'm not a professional photographer. GREAT camera for the money! Pros: Great zoom, image stabilization, facial recognition features. More features than I have tried yet. Love the AA batteries. Cons: Nothing Was this review helpful? Yes No Coolpix as a gift Written By Clayman, Sturgis, Mi. on Sunday, May 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased this as a College Grad gift. My daughter has a five month old grandson.. Pros: As I own one also, I felt it would be much better than an Iphone camera, to record mty grandson,s growing years. Cons: None that I have found. Was this review helpful? Yes No PRETTY CAMERA Written By MARTY, POMPTON LAKES N.J. on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hello everyone out there in tv land, this is my first review. Purchased the camera in red, looks real good. I gave away my old canon, oops, medium size mistake. My old canon powershot had only 5 megapix and 4x zoom with foldout screen. It is going back in the box and taking a little trip down south. Thanks anyway Crutchfield, still a loyal customer. Pros: 4 aa batteries, just like my old canon. That is how all point and shoot cams should be powered. There is a 7 eleven on every corner if the batts die. Cons: Zooming in or out in video mode you can hear the lens motor in the video Picture taking inside took a while to focus and lockin on subjects and stationary objects 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No My Boyfriend Loves It! Written By Shanelle Q, Gainesville, FL on Monday, February 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got my boyfriend this camera for Valentine's day because he's interested in learning more about photography. I wanted to get him something that wasn't too advanced but had just the right amount of features so he can know what to look for and what not to look for in a professional camera. This camera is perfect for that and more! He loves it, he LITERALLY TAKES IT EVERYWHERE! I'm Glad I invested my money into it. Pros: 3D, Great Zoom, Nice Flash, Panaromic Feature, Lots More Cons: Panaromic Feature and 3D Feature are a little hard, it takes practice. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Joan Written By Joan L., Kenton, DE on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Gave camera to Grand-daughter studing in Europe, she is thrilled with the performance of this camera. So simple to use with great results. The zoom feature is great for the architecture in the old Cities. Am considering getting one for myself. Thanks to my friend for recommending this camera to me. It was a great gift. Pros: Everything they say about this camera is true Cons: There are none. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Frustrating Written By alanl, bakersfield ca. on Saturday, December 08, 2012 Received this camera on 12/04/12. Today is 12/08/12. Just learning the functions of the camera and now when I turn it on I get a message on the view screen to turn off camera and remove lens cover. I have to turn it off and on over and over before it realizes the lens cap is in fact off. This now happens just about every time the camera is turned on. Maddning ! Pros: Easy to use , light weight , Cons: Can't use it without a knife fight. Crutchfield response on Monday, December 10, 2012 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera Written By Rusty, Apex, NC on Friday, July 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best camera I have ever owned. Take's very good sharp clean pictures. Video's work very good with the quicktime player. Pros: Great Camera. Batteries last longer than expected. 15 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Optics...hard to beat! Written By BobbyG, Myrtle Beach SC on Thursday, June 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera gives you the most bang for the buck of anything I've looked at. Clear sharp pictures and the best combination of point and shoot with some professional features of anything on the market. The optics are the best with typical Nikkor quality coupled with good ergonomics. Crutchfield is the best online company I have ever had any dealings with, period. Good product, great company, a winning combination. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Dissappointed in what should be a "great camera". Written By Anonymous, Seattle, WA on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera looks like it has all the parts and pieces to be a great performer. The lens is nice and I liked the use of standard AA batteries. I was not satisfied with the picture performance however. The f/stop of only 3.1 is too high for indoor photography, even with the built-in flash. The pictures looked fuzzy or slightly out of focus. Pictures did not seem to have a good color palette and overall seemed flat and lifeless. Even outdoors in as much afternoon sun as I could get, the colors were not vibrant and the focus still seemed to be off. At 16.1 megapixels, I expected to be able to zoom into the photo, but the resolution was so poor there was no point. I didn't try it with a tripod, but how often are you going to take a picture of a totally motionless subject? That would rule out pictures of kids, pets, landscapes if there is a breeze, anything from a vantage if you're moving (boat, bus). Maybe there was something DOA with my unit, but I'm returning it (hassle-free; thanks Crutchfield) and exchanging it for a Canon. Pros: High zoom, uses regular AA batteries. Cons: F/stop not low enough for indoor photography, pictues appeared flat and lifeless. Hard to get a clear, focused photograph. 19 out of 24 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great camera! Written By beachbum, Hockley TX on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a GREAT camera! I've had an older, Olympus digital camera for years and it was always too bulky and difficult to use. Took great outdoor pics but indoor or action pics always disappointed me. Have been using a tiny, pocket sized HP that my husband had been using for his work that I inherited but it was too little of a camera - didn't even have a memory card! So, for some time I've been waiting for the right camera to come along and Nikon did not disappoint me! When I saw the L810 and read up on it, it seemed to have everything I was looking for. I checked it out at Best Buy to see how it felt in the hand and after seeing how easy it was to navigate through the picture modes, I ordered immediately from Crutchfield. We only had the camera for a couple of weeks before traveling to the US Virgin Islands for a vacation. Again, the camera performed each and every time. My husband & I both easily used the camera and enjoyed playing with different shooting modes, again, easy, easy to use! The pictures are crisp, clear and other than a few that weren't in focus or dark - no complaints! In fact, it wasn't the camera it was the users who honestly are still getting used to the shutter speed and photo modes. An overall GREAT camera and the added bonus of the video record option is a big plus. We only went through one set of batteries and that was with 10 days of picture taking. Very happy and satisfied with this purchase. Pros: Lightweight, easy to use & change picture modes - no added buttons or wheels or dials. Has an "easy auto" mode which works great for someone who doesn't want to worry with a thing as well as multiple "auto" scenes that you can easily select. Zoom is great. Video option is a bonus. Color options other than black is nice, not performance related but the red is really sharp! Cons: Have to remove lens cover, then turn camera on to review photos - can't turn on with lens cap on to protect when not taking shots. Really the only other con is the flash. It is not automatic and has to be manually popped up to flash and only flashes for one photo. We did find a way to push the flash on, so this is probably another "user" issue that we will overcome, not specifically a camera con but worth mentioning. However, neither would prevent me from purchasing again. 36 out of 39 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The LCD monitor's wide-angle viewing area makes it easy to see and use. The LCD monitor has approximately 95% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and approximately 100% horizontal and vertical coverage in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera. Image Sensor: The Coolpix L810 features a 1/2.3" CCD image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.44-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.1-million. Optics: The Coolpix L810 digital camera uses a Nikkor glass zoom lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Nikkor lens is designed for the specific camera and CCD combination. The Coolpix L810 uses a 26x optical zoom, that is equivalent to a 22.5-585mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 104x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of approximately 2340mm lens (35mm format). Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization: The Coolpix L810's Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Stabilization System effectively corrects blur that commonly occurs when shooting at slow shutter speeds or when zoomed in. The camera utilizes lens shift technology to reduce the effect of camera shake. Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 50 MB internal memory for storing still images and movies with sound. Images will be saved to the internal memory when no memory card is inserted. Using the internal memory, you can store 6 images at the highest resolution, or 31 seconds of High Definition video. Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards.

Images are recorded at a size of 1920 x 1080. Recording a 3D image is a two-step process. After taking the initial picture (left eye image), a second picture (right eye image) is taken automatically by moving the camera horizontally to the right until the subject is aligned with the guide on the monitor. To play back 3D images, you will need to connect the camera to the TV via a 3D-compatible HDMI cable. Only the initial (left eye) image can be viewed in the camera's monitor. Shooting Modes: You can choose one of the following shooting modes: Easy Auto Mode: The camera automatically determines an appropriate shooting mode when you frame a picture, allowing you to easily take pictures with a shooting mode that suits the scene. Easy Auto Mode scenes include: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, Backlighting, and Other Scenes. Auto Mode: A mode used for general shooting. In Auto Mode, you can apply the macro mode and exposure compensation when shooting pictures. You can choose a flash mode and activate the self-timer. Scene Mode: You can manually or automatically select a scene mode with settings optimized for the shooting situation: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Party/Indoor, Beach, Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Close Up, Food, Museum, Fireworks Show, Black & White Copy, Backlighting, Panorama Assist, Pet Portrait and 3D Photography.Smart Portrait: Using face priority to recognize human faces, the shutter is automatically released when a smile is detected. A skin softening option can smooth the skin tones in human faces. Continuous Shooting: You can set the camera to take one picture at a time or multiple images by selecting one of the following options: Single: The camera records one picture each time the shutter release button is pressed. Continuous: While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 4 pictures are taken at a rate of about 1.2 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to 16M (4608 x 3456). Best Shot Selector: The BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-exposure. When BSS is on, the camera takes shots while the shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. The images are compared and the sharpest picture is saved to the internal memory or memory card. Multi-Shot 16: Each time the shutter release button is pressed, the camera takes 16 consecutive "thumbnail" images at a rate of about 30 frames per second, and arranges them into a single 5M (2560 x 1920) image. Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10 second timer for self-portraits. Focus Area Selection: You can select between the following Focus Area Selection methods to determine where the camera focuses: Face Detection: When the camera recognizes a face (front view only), the camera will focus on the face automatically. The camera can recognize up to 12 faces depending on shooting and exposure mode. Center: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. Color Options: You can shoot still images with several color options: Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype. Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 0.4". The flash may be unable to light entire subject at distances of less than 1 feet 8 inches. Focus Lock: The Focus Lock feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in Center AF mode. AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 14' at the maximum wide-angle position and 9' 10" at the maximum telephoto position. You can turn this function on or off, as desired. Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is available when you are shooting in Easy Auto, Portrait, or Night Portrait mode. When the camera detects that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the picture and decide whether or not to take another picture. 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 -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 steps. ISO Settings: Sensitivity is the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features automatic settings at 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600. White Balance: You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset Manual and use a neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Built-in Flash: The Coolpix L810 has a built-in Speedlite flash with a range of 1'-8" to 16' (Wide angle) and 5' to 8'-2" (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto: Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. Auto with Red-eye Reduction: Pre-flash fires before main flash to reduce red-eye effect. Flash Off: Flash will not fire, even when lighting is poor. Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken. Slow Sync: Auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix: If the camera detects red-eye after the pre-flash has fired, advanced red-eye reduction processing is used to further reduce red-eye, slightly increasing the time required before the next picture can be taken. Play, Edit and Print Functions Playback Menu: The following options are available in the playback mode: D-Lighting: D-Lighting can be used to brighten dark or backlit subjects. While playing back an image, you can select the D-Lighting function, apply it, and save the corrected image without harming the properly exposed areas of the image. Skin Softening: The camera detects faces in images and creates a copy with softer facial skin tones. Print Order: You can select images to print and the number of copies for each. Slide Show: View pictures in the internal memory or on the memory card in an automatic slide show. If desired, you can loop the slideshow so it will continuously play. Maximum slide show duration is 30 minutes without operation. Protect: You can select images that you want to protect from accidental deletion. Even protected images can be erased if the camera's internal memory or memory card are formatted. Rotate Image: Recorded pictures can be rotated 90-degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise on the unit's LCD screen. Small Picture: You can create a small copy of a recorded image. The copy will be stored as a JPEG file with a compression ratio of 1:16. You can choose from the following sizes: 640 x 480 (suited to television playback), 320 x 240 (suited to display on web pages), or 160 x 120 (suitable for email attachments). Cropping: Create a copy containing only the portion visible in the monitor. Thumbnail Playback: During playback, you can view multiple thumbnail images (4, 9, or 16) at a time. While these "contact sheets" are displayed, you can use the multi-selector to highlight individual pictures. Highlighted pictures can be deleted, if desired. Calendar Display: This feature displays a calendar allowing you to select and view pictures taken on the same date. Playback Zoom: During playback, you can enlarge a still image up to 10x. Once the image is zoomed, you can use the multi-selector to scroll around to non-visible portions of the image. You can record a new picture of the cropped image by pressing the shutter button. Multi-Language Menu: You can choose from 29 different menu display languages including English, Spanish or French. Printing Pictures: You can print pictures stored in the internal memory or on the memory card by using the Print Set option in the playback menu. Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and how many copies to print. Pictures can be printed as followed: Printer or Photo Lab: insert the memory card into a printer, or take the memory card to a digital photo lab (images stored in the internal memory need to be transferred to a memory card prior to printing). PictBridge-compatible Printer: connect the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer via USB cable Transferring to Computer: transfer the images to a computer before printing them via USB Battery Information Power Requirements: The Coolpix L810 is powered by four "AA" batteries.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While we are barreling towards spring here in the Pacific Northwest, I'm not quite ready to put my stockpot or Dutch oven away. The soups and stews I make will get lighter but they'll have a place on our table until the window boxes are blazing with my favorite red geraniums. Years ago, I didn't make soups for dinner because they seemed too light and I wanted to serve a more substantial meal to my family. As I became a better cook and ventured into soups made in other regions of the world, I became a convert. It was a slow process and one I wasn't completely comfortable with, until I had a bevy of recipes for salads and breads that would lend additional spine to a souper supper. While I prefer to serve freshly made and fragrant breads with soup, time does not always permit the slow rise a good bread requires. As a result, I'm always on the lookout for quick breads that can be made in their stead. I found these savory cheese scones on the Real Simple website and gave them a try several weeks ago. I made them again for our supper tonight and I've decided to move them into my recipe rotation. I never argue with simple and delicious and these scones win on both counts. I have one caution to share you regarding their preparation. This recipe is designed to make 12 thin wedges. If you choose to make only eight, it will affect the amount of time the scones need to cook. I like thicker wedges and my scones took 22 minutes to brown and cook through. The cheese makes these quite fragrant as they bake and when they are served warm they really are a perfect accompaniment for soup. I like this recipe. While it does not make my socks go up and down, it is very nice and I'll be making the scones more often. I think those of you try this recipe will also be pleased with these savory scones. Here's how they are made.
Cheesy Buttermilk Scones...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Real Simple
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1) Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
2) Combine flour, baking powder, and butter in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add both cheeses, thyme, hot pepper flakes, and buttermilk. Stir until mixture sticks together. (It will be slightly crumbly.)
3) Transfer dough to a work surface and knead gently until it comes together, about 30 seconds. Shape dough to form an even, flat round about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 wedges. Place them about 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Bake until scones are light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove with a metal spatula. These are best served fresh but can be made up to 2 days ahead. Wrap in foil and reheat in a 250 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 12 scones.

It's not everyday that we become obsessed, so listen up: We're officially obsessed with new luxe jewel line Alison Lou, and we're not afraid to shout it out. Or, um, text full-grin emoticons. Yes, this quirky-chic label has got the decadent thing figured out (the brand's first collection features all precious materials), but doesn't skimp on the cheekiness, either. And, we mean that quite literally. From festive party hats, to embarrassed blushes, to sobbing tears, the necklaces, bracelets, and rings feature familiar faces from your smart phones (and real life) that punch up any look with shine and fun. The overall effect is kind of '90s, kind of Emoji circa now, and totally Jemima-Kirke-approved. Just peep the lookbook that features the Girls star playing along with the OMG dramatic jewels. Then add every piece to your holiday wish list before they sell out at Fivestory. If only we could make the super-excited face here. Fine. :D.

Between the Internet and cable TV, we are swimming in information about the lives of animals worldwide. Tonight's talk will focus on New Jersey's strangest creatures, both large and small, in our homes, in our air, on our plants, in our freshwater and along our shore. You will hear oddities and fascinating facts that few people have heard about.
To name a few: invasive species, squirrel migrations, jellyfish and sponges in our lakes, animals that alter their sex at will, large spiders that drape our local bridges and shops with their webs, fireflies in the fall, our state's once-thriving caviar industry, and the weird lifecycle of our solitary wasps.
John Andrews from the New Jersey Astronomical Association will reveal the stories about these odd local organisms that share our state with us.
