yeah dayz, i know what you mean, lets hope they stick around much longer then the firm, atleast in this group no females to fuck up or fuck the mix.
I can't wait to hear an actual track, I hope they do this right.
This should be fresh… let's hope the production can keep up with them
Isn't funny how we were just morning the lose of HHS because of how disgusted we were with the "game" and it's current batch of "Hottest MC's" and now here we are with M.A.R.S to re-new our hope for a brighter future in this culture we call Hip-Hop. Gotta Love it!!
I'd be much more hyped if it was just Brons and Roc. Not a fan of those other two average MC niggas.

Microsoft sells 2.2 million 360s in last quarter
Microsoft's first quarter financials have confirmed that 2.2 million Xbox 360s were made and sold in the period.
"We sold 2.2 million Xbox 360 consoles, representing over 20 percent growth, as retailers stocked inventory ahead of the holiday season," Bill Koefoed, general manager of investor relations, told the AFP.
The exec noted that Xbox 360 outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 by more than 100,000 consoles over the quarter, ending September 30.
Game sales were down for the period year on year, but Microsoft attributed this to the launch of Halo 3 in 2007.
"The expected decline, due to the comparison to the quarter a year ago that included the launch of Halo 3, was milder than expected due to stronger-than-expected Xbox 360 console sales," said Koefoed.

I cant use my white soapstone. I've been trying to use it and I cannot figure out how.
There's a few reasons that you wouldn't be able to use the soapstone:
If you're offline, there's no much you can do but go back online. You can drop the Champion's Covenant by talking to the cat in Majula. If you've burned an effigy at a bonfire, the effects should wear off in about 30 minutes.
Finally, if you're getting a message similar to "Failed to create summon sign"... Well, I never figured out what causes this or how to fix it. I had one character on the PS3 that suffered from this and never recovered, but all my other characters were fine.
I also made a video explaining the first two items on the list, but there's not really any additional information other than maybe where to find the cat.

Deliciously Different Pasta Salad
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 1 hr
This really is a deliciously different pasta salad that even the hard to please members of my family just loved. It has alot of great Mediterranean flavors going on in there, that blend together beautifully, for a salad I know you'll love too! **Cooking time is chilling time.**
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup prosciutto, chopped
- 2⁄3 cup basil pesto
- 1⁄2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper (for dressing)
- 20 ounces cheese tortellini, cooked and cooled
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into bite sized chunks (about 1 1/2 c.)
- 1⁄2 cup green onion, sliced
- 1 cup cucumber, seeded and cubed
- 1⁄3 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup pimiento, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste (for finished salad, if needed)
- In a hot non-stick skillet over medium/high heat saute the chopped prosciutto until in gets browned and crispy. (use a spray or two of cooking spray if it starts to stick at all).
- Set pan aside to cool while you make the dressing.
- Whisk together the pesto, Greek yogurt, white vinegar, dill, garlic powder, and salt and pepper (to taste).
- Add the crispy bits of prosciutto, the cooked and cooled tortellini, mozzarella, green onions, cucumber, sundried tomatoes, and pimento, and mix well to coat.
- Don't worry if the dressing is a little thin right now, after chilling it with thicken slightly and cling to the salad better.
- Add any more salt and pepper to the finished salad now to taste, if you like.
- Cover and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Before serving stir the salad to redistribute the dressing, and enjoy!

Your description was right, I did love it. This is good stuff. The only thing I did differently was skip the salt, but that's just personal taste. Awesome job!
Very good effort for the contest! If I could give this 4.5 stars I would, but since it's a contest recipe and there were a few things I'd change I had to go with 4. I used fresh refrigerated 4 cheese tortellini and Classico brand pesto (which is very good btw). The dressing combo of yogurt with the pesto is fabulous. It clung to the tortellini nicely and was just the right amount to coat the pasta, not too little and not swimming in it, with great flavor and texture. The tortellini I used were large and rich, and for me the addition of mozzarella made it almost too much cheese. I would leave it out, or use a bow tie or other type of unfilled pasta and keep the cheese. Loved the cuc's and especially the sun dried tomatoes! Regarding the prosciutto, I think I'd use a different meat, maybe pepperoni or a good salami type meat, as I found that browning the prosciutto made it a little too tough for the salad for my taste. Watch the addition of salt-with the saltiness of the prosciutto, and the salt in the prepared pesto, I don't think it's even a necessary ingredient, but that might be subjective to my taste. I will defnitely keep the dressing idea in mind for future recipes! Overall, a wonderful entry for the contest and I wish you luck!
Loved all the flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and prosciutto. I made my own pesto beforehand with fresh basil from my kitchen herb garden. Just yummy. The cheese tortellini were good and unexpected. You could substitute corkscrew or any type of pasta to save money or calories. I liked the green onions and pimientos also. Very good. Good luck in RSC!

In many OECD countries, investment in intangible assets is growing rapidly. In some cases this investment matches or exceeds investment in traditional capital such as machinery, equipment and buildings.
This paper proposes an exploratory characterisation of firms' patenting behaviours across 15 countries. The stylised facts proposed are meant to serve as a basis for broader policy relevant analyses, and as a starting point for a more informed discussion on the role of country-specific framework conditions in explaining the observed differences in firm behaviours and outcomes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Carol34 This hotel has a nice beach & location I recently spent 7 nights at this location. Very comfortable space. Very quiet room location on the ground floor by the adult pool on the Garden view side. Staff are all very nice and helpful. December 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chillzoneseekers Terrific location, great atmosphere Positives- Nice relaxing hotel with great facilities. Staff very friendly. Had everything for a resort, & great for morning beach walks. Close iconic eateries which are affordable if one doesn't want to eat at the hotel restaurant each day. Negatives- Our toilet was a bit dodgy - kept running after flush & also leaked! Also note there is compulsory $30 per day resort fee - this is a bit weird - why not just increase the daily rate by this so the all in cost is known for comparison? Further, this fee does not earn SPG points!! Don't understand why the rate is structured in this manner... November 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Karen425 Not like the first time we stayed here This was our second time visiting the Sheraton Kauai, so when we made the reservation we knew that we wanted a king bed on the second or third floor with a good view of the ocean. When we arrived, we were surprised that we had a room with two queens. This was changed (after some back and forth with the front desk receptionist) to a room with a king on the second floor above the Lava Restaurant with an obstructed view by the roof of the restaurant. My husband went and spoke to the manager on duty who moved us to a first floor upgraded king room with a good view of the ocean, although not as private since it was the first floor. No sleeping with the curtains open for a morning wake up view! Although the Fire and Ice restaurant has been upgraded and the food and service are wonderful, it is all enclosed and very loud. We liked the older restaurant since there were outside tables, and having it closed two nights is not convenient. We pack as much into out day as possible so we would not return to the hotel until about 6:30 pm, ready for a short rest prior to dinner. However, the restaurant's last reservation is at 8:30pm and they are anxious to close. The beach and location is fantastic. You can rent beach chairs for $20 for use 4 days, but there are never any available and you cannot reserve them. We went to a local store and bought 2 for $17 apiece and just gave them to our room cleaner on the day of our departure. Can't believe they can't have more available! We liked the small convenience store/deli, and it is open later I believe until 11pm. The ladies there are wonderful. I left my expensive goggles and snorkel there at an outside table the day before our departure. The person on duty called the hotel "security" man who checked a few places and came to the conclusion that someone just took it. The next day I stopped by the pool where you get towels and rent beach items, and low and behold it had been turned in! I think the hotel needs a new security investigator since the lost and found should have been the first place he looked! Still good especially the beautiful location but next time we will go to another hotel in the same area. November 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaliBeachGirl Beyond Perfect! My husband and I just arrived back home last night after an amazing 9 days at the Sheraton Kauai. From the moment we arrived until we left, it was perfect. The room was incredible. We were on the ground floor King Suite Oceanfront directly facing the Sunset. The grounds are gorgeous. The views all around are breathtaking. You can see the sunrise to the sunset. The pool layout was perfect. The cabanas at the beach they rent are the way to go! We rented almost every day and they service you right out there on the beach. So relaxing! We attended the Luau on site as well, and it was by far the best Luau we have ever experienced. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Christy the concierge was amazing. She helped us book several dinner reservations and showed us where to go for our whole trip. We were on our "Babymoon" so limited to activities and she was super helpful. Mateo, the server at the pool was awesome! He remembered us every day and was so friendly and great. He even remembered my food allergies I have the 2nd day we were there. Our housekeeper Shirley was so sweet. She left us a note every single day. We felt like we were so welcomed and loved coming back to the room each day! Janice in the Cafe was adorable! She helped me every morning and I will truly miss her. She was so sweet and kind. All the bellhops, hands down - so great. They offer you a free shuttle service to anywhere close by you want to go, and they took us everywhere as soon as we asked and were so friendly and helpful, they come back to get you when you are finished too. This is all included in your resort fee and it was so convenient. I hope we are not missing anyone, the whole staff was truly so incredible. We are definitely going to be making this our annual vacation. Thank you everyone for making our BabyMoon vacation beyond perfect! November 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KauaiVirgins Great staff, great service The staff at this resort is all very friendly. The staff at Lava is fantastic! My husband and I had requested a couple of smoothies for breakfast, and it's not on the menu. They not only come through for us, but they also stocked the bar, so that we could have it every morning! Crystal and her breakfast & lunch staff is so terrific! Because of her and her team, my husband and I were able to maintain our diet through out our vacation. The room were as expected. However, the carpet was showing a bit of age, and the bed was not very comfy, thank goodness for yoga classes in the morning! Overall, great resort, great staff. November 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ecki Beautiful Hotal at Poipu Beach Kauai Hawaii at It's best! only the breakfast offering was limited in comparison to Sheraton Waikiki and Maui November 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kauai14 Hotel needs more "Aloha" spirit Our experience recently showed us that more "Aloha" spirit is needed to improve the hotel. From the Dining Room to the Pool services and some housekeepers more attention to customer needs has to be displayed by these employees. The employees need to understanding their job is to service the hotel guest. This was not done at our recent stay November 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rebekah You get what you pay for When I need a place to stay in Poipu that's reasonably priced, I choose the Sheraton. The rooms are old and outdated but who cares, when you have the spectacular view of the ocean right at your feet? The beds are nice, the front desk staff are so nice and really take care of you, and the location is prime. My room was located on the first floor and I had the misfortune of being underneath a family and I heard every step above. I could even hear when the kids dropped something on the floor, opened the lanai doors, or used their bathroom. It is noisy!!! Get a top floor if you can - you'll sleep better. The Sheraton has yet to find itself in the resort arena. They are trying but failing. They offer a few daily activities for the family but my experience was pitiful. From 10 to 11, there was arts and crafts. I noticed that three children were making a Thanksgiving Turkey using a pinecone which was super cute. At 10:45 I asked the woman if I could make one too (I know, I am an adult, but it was included in my $30 daily additional resort fee, so why not?) The woman replied, "You have to sign up at the Activity Desk". I said, "Can I do it now? I'd like to make one of these." She replied, "No." Um, what? No one else is here, you still have 15 minutes to go, and what? At any other true resort, I know for certain, my request would have been obliged, and happily so. I wasn't going to make a turkey from a pinecone; I just met a real life talking turkey. Aside from that, everything else is lovely at the Sheraton. You can't beat the price for the location. I do believe SPG is giving the rooms a facelift as there was major construction going on. I'll definitely stay here again when I need to! November 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kanu2 Great Oceanfront Rooms Spacious oceanfront room. Small pool but the grounds were nice & relaxing. November 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by TMJones801 More of a MOTEL than a hotel The good: It's on the beach. Large rooms. The bad: Strange Layout. Requires Two elevators to get to our room (Not very accessible). Carpet is dirty. In need of major renovations. Limited restaurant selections. Far away from "Services". Spotty Wi-Fi. Small TV in room & can't connect your mobile device to watch movies or display photos. Uncaring staff when you call with questions. Going to call the Princeville Westin to see if they have availability and move locations if possible. This hotel is nowhere near SPG standards. For $300+/Night, stay somewhere else. November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mimie Excellent Location, Very Accessible to Beach My husband and I came to the island of Kauai in October 2014 after a week spent at another hotel, Sheraton Waikiki in Oahu. Considering that this was the third Sheraton hotel that my husband and I have stayed in, in all of our 4 trips in 5 islands of Hawaii within 20 months, our expectations were getting higher. After staying in Sheraton Maui in Blackrock and Sheraton Waikiki in Oahu, I thought it would be harder to beat those two hotels. Upon first impression, I must say that Sheraton Kauai excel in its own special way. After getting lost twice in trying to locate the hotel, I was not disappointed to finally arrive here. Coming from Waikiki, our drive was, at best, peaceful and unhurried. It was refreshing to check in at this hotel. At the time my husband and I got here, it was not busy, and that in itself was a plus. It was just a little bit of a maze to get to our room, but we eventually figured the hotel layout. Our room to my great delight was one of the best location. We stayed on third floor of the building looking down the Lava's and the swimming pool. We had excellent views of the sunrise and best of all, it was only a short walk to the beautiful Poipu beach. The cleaning staff were friendly, very attentive to our needs (amenities like mouthwash, toothpaste, more wash cloths and extra towels). Guest service even made a follow-up call to ensure that our requests were delivered promptly. Excellent follow-up! My only wish was that the cleaning staff would put the towels in the racks (which was left empty) by the tub instead of the pretty wood stand by the sink. My husband and I are so used to having bath towels within reach from the shower. The bathrobes are extra nice, very handy to have. At one time our coffee maker did not work, the staff immediately replaced it, that's just great service! The grounds were long and beautiful. Anybody who has the patience to catch a good sunset photo just need to talk a walk in the northern part of the hotel. There's benches and sight-seeing opportunities among the rocks on the beach, which was still accessible. Wear good footwear so you don't get cut by some sharp lava rocks. The swimming pool was an okay experience because as my husband and I preferred to use it so early in the morning, when it's not too crowded, we noticed paper napkins and plastic cups floating in it. But, that's what happens when a swimming pool is that close to a bar and that's why our swimming pool experience was a little less appealing for both of us. Although, I must add, that my husband loved swimming at 2AM in the morning when there was thunder and lightning all around us :) We liked Link café which was our only other choice for food service in the hotel. On two nights, the Lava's was open for dinner while the Rum Fire was closed. On our second night my husband and I came home late and we were both hungry. Instead of going to dinner at the Rum Fire where we didn't have reservations, Link café fed us. Otherwise, there were options to dine just across the other side of the hotel, like the Plantation Gardens, and more places yet just across the Gardens, which we learned later in our on-foot explorations. Overall, this was another excellent Sheraton hotel experience for me and my husband. November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roses Great view We loved everything about this hotel. Our view of the ocean was fantastic, and we loved the rooster wake up call every morning. The Rumfire restaurant and bar were excellent, and the service and service providers were great. It was a wonderful place to stay for our week in Kauai. November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave1947 Truly Hawaiian This hotel is perfectly situated for the truly Hawaiian experience, lovely beach, great rooms, excellent service and sunsets that only Hawaii can offer up. Kauai and this hotel are a must for first time visitors to Hawaii. November 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Teach2AZ The Sheraton exceeded our expectations! The Sheraton at Poipu Beach exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived until our last moments, we were graciously embraced as part of the Sheraton family. Since one of our family members had medical issues we decided to use the valet service. The valets were great. Danilo made it a point to ask my daughter if she had completed her online homework (she is working on her masters) for the day joking that she couldn't go out unless her work was done. Sheryl at the front desk is an absolute treasure. She took a special interest in our family and we appreciated how special she made us feel. Our room was kept clean and neat - it was a pleasure to return to our "space in paradise" each day. We spent some time at the pool which we loved and met several other guests who we enjoyed talking with. I especially loved watching a snorkeling lesson with both young and old attending. The instructor was so patient with the little ones and adults alike. We also attended the luau and had a great time. I am very glad that we booked our vacation with Sheraton and we will definitely return here on our next trip to Kauai! Mahalo, Sheraton for a job well done. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MuskegoGuy What a paradise to stay at! We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at this property and they treated us so well and made us feel very special! We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. The staff went above and beyond our expectations and were very attentive. The property itself is gorgeous and very well maintained. It really did feel like paradise for the week we were there. Thanks for the wonderful memories! October 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jammer1966 rooms on 25th anniversary gave a room with a door to other room. so, at 2, 3, 4 in the morning you can hear them. No Bikes to ride. Outside bar closes at 6pm. but, great location. October 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Baldkiggs Could not make it more relaxing We enjoyed the entire stay starting from check-in all the way through check-out. Well, the check-out we did not enjoy so much as it meant we were leaving. You and the staff did a grand job. Thank you, John and Bette Kiggins October 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Celebrating30years Anniversary Trip My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay on Kauai celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We visited the Big Island first for 5 nights, then continued on to Kauai. We loved this resort. Very pleasant and attentive staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a garden view for the first 3 nights, then were offered to upgrade to an ocean front room. It was amazing. Double vanity, huge soaker tub and lanai. The grounds were clean and well kept. The only real negatives I have are that the pools are only open to 8 pm and the outlets are not in convenient places in the room for charging electronics. I've been to some hotels recently that have places to charge things in the lamps on the night stand. We ate at the lava club and the deli. The food was good but pricey which is to be expected, it's Hawaii. We will definitely be back. October 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PFSFCA Sheraton Poipu in October 2014 We arrived October 6th before the 3pm checkin and our rooms were not available. The front desk said they would call us by 3pm but we did not ever receive a call. We went to the front desk around 4pm and our rooms was still not ready. When we finally got a room assignment, it was in the corner of the property in the designated smoking area. The front desk representative kindly moved us to another location. We checked in to our room, got settled and open the doors to the lanai. Unfortunately, there was very loud construction noise that went on for over an hour into the 6 o'clock hour. When I called the front desk to inquire about the noise, I was told that there is no construction going on and no one else is complaining. I asked about the room replacement and remodel of the building right next to ours and they confirmed there is a renovation going on. (?) They offered to move my room again but it was back to the smoking area so I had a choice of jack hammering noise or cigarette smoke. I chose the noise. There is a $31 per day resort fee that covers WiFi and other amenities. The WiFi never worked in our room or in the gym. We got the best reception with no WiFi standing on the beach. If we wanted to use our phones, we had to leave the room. This is very inconvenient, especially when you are paying for a service. Three of the classes/sessions that we pre-signed up for (also part of the $31 per day resort fee) were canceled last minute with no notice because the instructor did not show up. This is very inconvenient when you plan your day/vacation around the activities you've set for each day. If the classes were not going to happen, the hotel could have contacted us to alert us so we didn't rush back. In an overall general comment, the staff seemed unhappy most of the week we were there. There was one very friendly woman who worked in the Linked Cafe that was very helpful and nice. The three people we tried talking to at the Concierge desk where short and not helpful so we ended up planning most of our excursions on our own. Where is the aloha spirit? I loved Kauai but would definitely stay at another property next time. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TomF47 Paradise at a great price! Everything was superb. Room was spacious and the view was spectacular. Great beach and pool and the staff was top shelf. Highly recommend for the money. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chasbo318 First Class in Every Way! The resort location (proximity to the ocean) and quality of the room accommodations are unbeatable....with one exception: the resort staff!! We were just thrilled with the clean and spacious living quarters and beautiful patio with several chairs and chaise recliners perfect for viewing the spectacular ocean waves rolling in. As close as one will get to Heaven on earth! Unfortunately our stay was interrupted by a family emergency forcing us to leave paradise early. Lonnie, Sissy, and Elaine were beyond empathetic, kind, and helpful....you have some remarkable people working at The Sheraton Kauai. We will be returning soon to complete our romantic getaway...everything is outstanding here, but the employees put The Sheraton Kauai over the top! October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brich336 A bargain for the resort and location The Sheraton Kauai is a very nice resort at a good price. However, don't go in expecting a Westin with a lot of extra features, amenities, etc. The resort fits in very well with the laid back and minimalist vibe of Kauai. The pool and beach are great - perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the tremendous weather. The south side of Kauai also sees less rain than the north side which is a nice bonus. There are some great local attractions (beaches, shopping, snorkeling, etc.) and restaurants within close proximity. The one knock (and a small one at that) is the food/restaurants. Service was lacking at Lavas. Everyone seemed to be really overworked. October 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donut57 Best Anniversary Ever! Our children gave us a trip to Kauai for our 25th wedding anniversary, so we didn't get to pick anything out! We were a little anxious about the hotel, since it was all a surprise and we were trusting our children's selections. From the moment we drove up, to the moment we checked out, it was superb! We had an oceanfront room, which overlooked the ocean and the pool. The staff could not be nicer, always going above and beyond. They even gave us a complimentary room to shower and dress in after we checked out, as our plane didn't leave until late that night. I could not be happier with the Sheraton Kauai! October 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Relaxatiolover7 The perfect destination Room view outstanding Pool staff very attentive Beach location great Hotel location to nearby sites and restaurants great Valet staff outstanding Can't wait to come back October 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jack993 Outstanding customer service Here's a big shout out to Sissie [Front Desk] and Shantelle [Concierge] for their superior Aloha attitude and follow-through on my recent 8-night stay at Poipu. Everyone I encountered was friendly and supportive. I worked a lot with these two ladies and all aspects of our dealings were first-rate. And, yes, the facility is superb and well-maintained. October 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sandra49 Hotel Staff -very friendly! Resort staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. Ryan, our concierge was especially helpful in helping us plan our stay. Although the hotel is older, we found it was well maintained and the grounds were very clean. We are SPG members and so we got to be on the 4th floor with a garden view. The high ceilings and the view of the garden pool was especially nice. The rooms are well kept but a little dark. Close access to eating, beach and diving site was another plus. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zoey14 Our ocean front suite was fabulous. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sunset each night. Spectacular! October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stinesbaby Happy Wife! Staying at the Sheraton Hotel and Resort in Kauai was one of the best experiences at a hotel we've ever had. We've stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and none compares to the large comfortable room, spectacular views of the ocean, and excellent service that we were given at the Sheraton. I would recommend this hotel to everyone! October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anita12 Ocean views are amazing! Our first time in Hawai'i (visiting four islands). Kaua'i was our third. Ryan, our concierge, is absolutely great! He listened to us; made excellent suggestions; assisted with obtaining reservations for tours and made us feel like family. For beach/pool activities, Shawntel is an excellent instructor (she taught me to snorkel and feel comfortable doing so--even with my water issues). She is friendly and especially patient. Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Our ocean view room was to die for. October 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TC58 Kauai 2014 The location on the beach cannot be beat. Hotel appointments are OK, staff all good except the pool service/bar staff are either on or off. September 30, 2014

September 11 stories
UFT members work every day to make a difference in people's lives. On September 11, 2001, in the face of horror and uncertainty, we were there to make a crucial and, in many cases, a life-saving difference. Teachers, nurses, guidance counselors, para- professionals and others led their charges out of danger, made sure students across the city were cared for while communication and
transportation systems were frozen, and calmed the fears of hundreds of thousands of other children. They set a shining example of courage and inspiration.
This feature is filled with a few of the many heartfelt stories that we have gathered from members about that horrendous day and its aftermath. They reflect the best in all of us.

Recently watched a video about how to overcome the problem when you don't have your ND filter when you want to take silky water flow picture by using multiple exposure. But it seems like Xpro2 can't do more than 2 at a time. Any advise besides using LR or PS?

Just thought I would share this picture I made of one of my colleagues when we all went out for a day. We all work in psychiatric care. The idea for me was to take black and white pictures of my colleagues to make a collage of us all for in the hospital we work. I took a lot of pictures but not everybody likes to have their picture on the Internet.
I took the exposure with my x-t10 with a Asahi Pentax 50mm f1.7. Shot at f1.7. I love using this lens.
Any feedback would be well received.

Ex photography teacher,shot medium & 35mm,& collected lenses,still do that.Bought the XT1 to use my lenses, which all seem to fit with adapters & manually which is fine with me,thats how i work. My favorites are LM& screwmounts, but I have drawers & trunk cases with the odd bits.Gave most of the Pentax to a cousin who showed interest,in 35mm.Hardly dented the collection.Exotica?a Schneider C mount super wide,which giver a circular format on the XT1. I never managed to fit it on my M series which was its targeted use, but its happily working on the XT1.Ive met few lenses I didn't like,just have some I never get to.My several dealers I work with, dig up stuff of interest,& occasionally I venture into the madness of Ebays listings.Remember Shutterbug? probably before your time.

My X100t is suddenly giving message it is reading from internal memory only. I have formatted several different cards in camera and also formatted with no card in camera. Have reset. Can someone help. I have a sneaking suspicion I may need a new motherboard. Very disappointed if so as my xt1 needed a new board. Thanks to all. Lou.

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right thread as I am not sure what category a question like this falls under!
One of my favorite photographers is Alex Strohl who does a lot of outdoors/adventure/landscape stuff mainly in places like Canada and Europe.
Alex Strohl (@alexstrohl) • Instagram photos and videos
I love the look and style of his photos, especially the ones in the mountains and forests. I'm not exactly sure how you'd explain it. I just like the colors and the mood and the lighting in them.
How does he achieve a look like this? I can never seem to replicate anything similar with my Fuji, the colours never seem to be quite right. He Shoots with a Canon 5DS.
Is this a look achieved more through post processing?

I am struggling with the video settings. First of all, only mov mode - crap and then I experience a lot of light flickering. I think that can be fixed by choosing 25p over 60p. The biggest issue, I cant seem to refocus my camera during recording. Pressing the shutter does nothing - only continous AF or manual works. Is this normal?

I am taking a motorcycle trip this fall and would like to have a graduated ND filter (or two) in my bag for use with my 18-135 and 10-24 lenses. I have a Lee Filter Seven 5 system (that I use with my 18-135) but its bulkier than I'd like, so I'm thinking about a couple of threaded filters that I could use with both lenses. Or, maybe one filter with some kind of adapter ring?
I've thought about buying an adapter ring for the 10-24 lens and using the Lee Filters...and I am aware of the vignetting issue at 10mm. Can I just crop that out? Or not zoom all the way to 10mm when using the
I'd like to hear from folks who've used threaded filters successfully (or not) to tell me what direction I should go. How many stops do you recommend with the ND filter?
Thanks for your help.

When I turn on the camera holding disp/back it takes 5 Full seconds before the firware screen appears and it only lists the body, no option for lens. I changed to my other 2 lenses and they work fine. Firmware screen loads immediately and the current versions are listed. I tried searching and I can't find anything. Got any ideas let me know please

First Look Review: Fujifilm X-T2
Very nice and detailed review - I'd recommend reading everything by clicking on the link provide at the top...
For the lazy, excerpts from conclusions.
The Good,…
It appears that Fujifilm has been working very hard to come-up with a "complete mirrorless camera" that can tackle almost any shooting situation and application, but without sacrificing the X-series DNA with its retro manual dials and controls. The X-T2 is compact, modular and robust, with a state-of-the-art sensor and a fast processor that ensure responsiveness and high-performance autofocus tracking. Improved ergonomics and the large electronic viewfinder make the X-T2 a pleasure to work with, and the optional Vertical Power Booster Grip is more than just a container for additional batteries. Image and video quality are both top-notch.
…the Bad,…
So what's missing? Mostly details. The user-configurable My Menu should be able to store a few more items from the main menus, and an additional Fn button (as a replacement for the discarded video button) would have been a bonus. Frequently used functions like OIS Mode should be available as options in the Q menu or on Fn buttons—and why is there no indication in the display when the Natural Live View (PREVIEW PIC. EFFECT OFF) is in effect?
I assume some sports, action and wildlife shooters will be put off by the X-T2's inability to adjust to quickly changing shooting conditions and requirements. Due to the retro concept with marked manual dials and controls, there's currently no way to quickly change the entire camera configuration with pre-configured user presets. It would be nice if Fujifilm could find a clever way to add such presets without sacrificing the beloved retro concept.
Also missing are color RGB histograms (in the live view and during playback) and a highlight-priority metering mode. And what about user-favorites like a 24h clock display, multi-bracketing beyond three shots, or the ability to include copyright information in the EXIF data?
…and the Ugly…
As far as the new flash system is concerned, I am still waiting for samples of the announced EF-X500 flash and Nissin's Fuji-compatible version of the i60A and Air Commander, so this topic will be covered in a separate article. However, the fact that Fuji's wireless TTL concept relies on light signals instead of radio (and requires an expensive EF-X500 as commander) isn't a particular source of joy for those who had high hopes for Fujifilm's new flash system. On the other hand, the in-camera control of the flash units and groups looks really comfortable, so we'll have to wait and see how things play out.
Another source of worry is the fact that my beloved Nissin i40 is not compatible with the current X-T2 firmware (beta 1.39). Assuming things stay that way, the i40 might even become incompatible with the X-Pro2 and X-T1 after these cameras will have received their promised flash system firmware upgrades. Will Fujifilm make improvements to the firmware to restore compatibility? Will Nissin offer (paid) firmware updates for the popular i40? The silence is deafening. And what about support for other third-party flashguns that are currently marked "Fuji-TTL-compatible", like those from Metz and Meike?
So even after months of research and countless hours of putting heaps of information together in 12,000 words and hundreds of sample images, animated GIFs and videos, I have to conclude with William Goldman's famous quote on Hollywood: Nobody knows anything.

I was in Bristol on Sat dropping off my full frame kit in exchange for the XT2 kit, I did collect the 16-55mm f2.8 that is part of the deal so took the opportunity to grab some images of the street art event that was taking place.
There was some great art on private houses, public buildings and the opportunity to watch some of the artists in action as well as some interesting people!
The XPro2+ 16-55 was very fast to focus and delivered some images I am really happy with.

Beg your indulgence on a request for a clarification on adapted lens mounts: SpeedBooster, Fuji M and the various others. Looking for some clarification, but here's what I think it sounds like:
Speed Booster mounts: You get an APS-C mm angle of view that is equivalent to 1.08 of the stated FF focal length. Magnification? I'm not sure. Assume something similar?
Various Others: You get an APS-C mm angle of view equivalent to 1.6 of the stated FF focal length expected AOV. Magnification... assume also 1.6.
Fuji M Mount: Like to think it works like the Speed Booster does, but am not finding much on Fuji's website other than the list of compatibility.
If I'm confusing my questions - a real possibility, please advise as well. Thanks!

In July last year (2015), I gave my email address to Fuji (UK) so that they could notify me when a refurbished X-T1 body was in stock, but I have heard nothing. In fact, I bought a new one last August. I heard nothing regarding a refurb one, until today, that is. I have just received notification from Fuji (UK) that refurb X-T1 bodies are now in stock. Actually, I see they currently have 13 in stock. Some with 18-55 lens, some with 18-135 lens, and some body only. Do you think they may be having a clear-out before the X-T2 arrives?

sold all my Canon stuff for a nice little X-T10 with a few nice lenses. Was shooting with the 18-55, mostly on a tripod with EVF only. Not much chimping. Only got about 150 shots on the first battery. While reviewing settings I saw the blinking green wireless icon. I don't use the wireless, just tested it once for remote control iPhone app. How can I disable the wireless activity on the camera?

In the last two years I have made the move from taking pictures on my phone to actually trying to learn about photography. I started out with a Samsung NX Mini and in February I picked up a X-M1. Currently have two lenses (16-50mm and 50-230mm).
Most weekends during the summer I can be found at car events snapping away and trying to figure out what I'm doing. Look forward to learning more about my camera and photography from all of you.

Yesterday I took a series of photos (12) for a panorama. When I loaded them into Lightroom to create the panorama, Lightroom was unable to stitch them together into a panorama. I looked at the metadata of the photos and noticed that the focal length listed in the metadata changed randomly over the 12 photos. Actually, it changed randomly back and forth between two focal lengths. The metadata showed two focal lengths; 28.9mm and 30.2mm. Within the series of 12 photos, the metadata showed a focal length of 28.9mm for shots 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, & 12 and 30.2mm for shots 2, 5, 7, 8, & 10. This has happened before where the focal length has changed during the series, but never back and forth; so in those other cases I thought that I must have bumped the lens during the series. But, in this case it went back and forth randomly during the series. (I surely could not have bumped the lens repeatedly moving back and forth with such precision.) With such a small variation in the focal length, I cannot see any difference in the photos, but presumably the actual lens is not changing, but rather the focal length recorded in the metadata.
Has anyone else experienced this while taking a series of photos? If you think it would help, I could upload the series of photos.

I am looking at replacing my Canon EOS M with a Fuji mirror less camera, I have been reading about the xe2s and the x-t 10 both with the 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 lens. I shoot Canons both the 7d mkll and the 5d mklll. Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter. I would mainly use it for street pictures and a everyday small camera to carry around. I didn't like the EOS M as it didnt have the view finder.

There was only one trail open at Logans Pass in Glacier National Park in Montana when we went. They are really restricting where you can hike because of so many visitors and the damage they do to the area. Fortunately we were able to see some Mountain Goats about a mile into the hike and some Big Horn Sheep on the way out. Here are a couple shots of the goats.

The Government has been accused of making a mess of its
television set recycling efforts.
Community recycling network national spokeswoman Sue Coutts,
of Wanaka, said this week recycling centres had been left in
limbo over the scheme and there was a backlog of 85,000 sets.
She blamed a Government subsidy that was too low to cover the
full cost of collecting, storing and processing sets.
From last month, the charge to the public for recycling
television sets rose from $25 to $40, leading Wanaka
Wastebusters to stop taking sets altogether.
Ms Coutts called on the Government to adopt a mandatory
''product stewardship scheme'' where the recycling costs of
electronics were paid ''upfront'' by importers, manufacturers
or retailers.
This week, Environment Minister Amy Adams released a
discussion document on ways to improve the way waste products
were managed, including electrical and electronic equipment,
tyres, agrichemicals and farm plastics, and refrigerants and
other synthetic greenhouse gases. The focus had been on
voluntary product stewardship schemes but ''the time has come
to seriously consider appropriate mandatory approaches for
selected priority waste streams''.
Ms Adams said 11 voluntary schemes had been accredited by the
Government in the past five years, with the result 70,000
tonnes of waste had been diverted from landfill for recycling
or safe destruction.
''These are good results, but this only equates to 1.4% of
the total waste stream going to disposal facilities.''
As an example of one problem, Ms Adams said up to three
million mobile phones became obsolete in New Zealand each
''Of those, only about 2% are recycled.''

Lian Li continues its desk domination, with automated standing desks
Computex 2016 - Lian Li was in force at Computex this year, unveiling two more "conventional" desks, in the form of the new DK-12 and DK-16. These new desks from Lian Li are automated standing desks, with a "similar console and customizable height presets to the DK-04".
The desktop on the other hand, is a particle board with a waterproof, leather-like surface mounted on aluminum. The standing mechanism itself can lift, and handle up to 264 lbs (120kg). The big difference between the DK-12 and DK-16 is that the DK-12 is 140cm wide (55 inches) while the DK-16 is around 200cm wide (78.7 inches). Lian Li will have a planned accessory for mounting under the desk, with an adjustable arm that can hold any shape/size PC, so that when the desk moves up and down, so too will your PC.
Noctua's new premium 120mm fans spotted at Computex
Computex 2016 - Noctua plans to expand its line of premium case fans with two new 120mm fans: the A-Series slim, and the next-gen 120mm design.
Noctua's new fan duo starts off with the 120mm A-Series Slim Fan, which sports a super-thin 15mm thick design, seven fan blades, and Noctua's renowned SS02 bearings. The A-Series Slim is fastened by a reinforced metal core that ensures optimum endurance and stability, a dual-bearing motor, and anti-vibration pads.
The Next-Gen 120mm fan isn't a slim model, and sports nine fan blades, a metal reinforced core like the A-Series Slim Fan, as well as the signature SS02 bearings. Noctua says the Next-Gen 120mm has optimized pressure and airflow for heat sinks and radiators, with flow acceleration channels for improved air circulation, and an advanced acoustic frame designed to reduce noise.

Raijintek demos pumpless liquid cooling system at Computex
Computex 2016 - Raijintek shows off its "Pumpless AIO" in Taipei, revealing how exactly the new generation of liquid cooling systems operate.
Today's closed-loop liquid cooling systems are more optimized than ever, but in the not so distant future, we could start seeing pumpless AIO systems. Raijintek demonstrated its new pumpless LCS prototype at Computex, utilizing a simplified radiator, tube, and water block system that utilizes the hardware system's natural heat to circulate the coolant.
The Pumpless AIO is made up of a passive, copper-fronted CPU/GPU water block with small channels optimized for maximum heat dissipation, and two tubes that lead up to a radiator. Now you might be wondering how exactly the coolant travels updates to reach the radiator without a pump; the system uses special coolant that evaporates into vapor at 40C - 50C, and the vapor travels up one tube into the radiator, where it condenses back into a liquid to circulate down the other tube and cool the CPU/GPU.

EVGA reveals new L-shaped Power Link VGA power adapter
Computex 2016 - On the heels of its new RGB high-bandwidth SLI bridges, EVGA has revealed yet another awesome accessory aimed at optimizing enthusiast rigs: the new Power Link.
EVGA's new Power Link is an L-shaped accessory that allows users to hook up PCI-E power cords to the side of a video card instead of the top, adding tons of flexibility for open-air and home theater PC builds. The Power Link is outfitted with LED lighting, and sports male 8+8 PCIe slots on one end, with female ports on the other. This nifty little adapter not only provides more headroom for compact chassis and builds but also allows for cleaner cable management in enthusiast builds.
Right now the Power Link accessories are made to fit into EVGA's GeForce GTX 1080 video card lineup, but the company has plans to bring other configurations in the future that support other video cards like EVGA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti FTW. The Power Link will be sold separately, but pricing nor availability has been determined.

In Win's new RGB Aurora case fans sport daisy chain power sharing
Computex 2016 - At Computex In Win showcased its new Aurora fans, the first-ever case fans that support modular power sharing. As an added bonus users can easily adjust fan speeds with a dedicated wireless remote control.
In Win's new 120mm RGB Aurora case fans are pretty special: the fans can be connected to one another to share power and speed controls.

ASUS' modular PC design great for customization lovers, neat freaks
Computex 2016 - ASUS showed off a very cool modular PC design at Computex today that allows the user to customize all kinds of things while keeping their setup tidy in the process.
Interestingly, it lets you choose between different IO panels; SSD bays work like NAS bays in that you can easily insert the SSD (almost like a Nintendo cartridge for you 80s/90s kids), and there's not much in the way of cables as the design utilizes a special server-style PSU.
ASUS says it wants to make this a new form factor. To that end, it will attempt to open source what it needs to in order to let other vendors follow suit.

Rothschild's David Resnick Said to Join Third Avenue
David Resnick, chairman of global financing advisory at Rothschild North America Inc., is leaving the investment bank to become president at Third Avenue Management LLC, said four people familiar with the matter.
Resnick had been with Rothschild for more than 12 years and advised on high-profile bankruptcies such as American Airlines and auto supplier Delphi Corp. and advised Access Industries on the bankruptcy at chemical company LyondellBasell. His move was announced internally at Rothschild and Third Avenue yesterday, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information is private. Resnick will start at Third Avenue in September, said two of the people.
Resnick, 52, will report to David Barse, chief executive officer at Third Avenue and help manage the firm while expanding its alternative-investment business, the people said. Third Avenue was founded by Martin J. Whitman, who has stepped back from day-to-day operations in recent years and handed over control to other executives. The firm has about $13 billion in assets under management and is majority-owned by Beverly, Massachusetts-based Affiliated Managers Group Inc., which holds stakes in more than two dozen investment firms.
Barse wasn't immediately reachable to comment. A spokeswoman at Third Avenue didn't return a call seeking comment.
Rothschild Changes
Separately, Rothschild is making other changes in senior management at its North America operations. James Lawrence, the CEO of Rothschild's North American unit, is transitioning into the role of chairman for North America with fewer day-to-day duties, said two of the people. Lawrence will continue to be co-head of the global investment bank.
Rothschild managing director Steve Ledoux will be head of North American global financial advisory, which includes restructuring and mergers and acquisitions and restructuring, said the people. Ledoux had been a co-head of the restructuring practice, which often represents large companies in distress or bankruptcies.
Lawrence and Ledoux's new roles were announced internally several weeks ago, the people said.
Third Avenue Management was founded in 1986 by Whitman, a manager best known for buying stocks he deems cheap based on financial metrics. Whitman, 87, stepped down in February as co-manager of the firm's flagship Third Avenue Value Fund, handing the reins to Ian Lapey. Whitman had run the $2.6 billion fund since it opened in 1990.
The fund's performance has faltered and assets have declined in recent years. Third Avenue Value lost 5.8 percent a year for the past five years, trailing 90 percent of rivals, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It gained 6.5 percent this year, better than 96 percent of peers. Assets in the fund have dropped from $10.4 billion in February 2007.
Whitman in 2010 gave up his post as co-chief investment officer of the firm. He currently serves as chairman and portfolio manager, according to Third Avenue's website.

I tried to keep it clean and simple(ish) like me... ;-)
This is still a pre-release to get some feedback so ....
Did I do okay?
I really had to hack up the theme and gallery plugins to get them to display the way I wanted and I am not much of a "hacker". Seems to work well in IE7 and Firefox but, IE6 has a small issue with my header css. I will fix eventually.
I also still need to add all the info for the pictures and scan tons more.
After years of working with phpwebsite I am so happy I forced myself to learn wordpress. Really is the best out there.
Shameless plug:
This site is hosted on my PHP5-mysql-cPanel enabled server in Florida USA. I charge less than a c-note a year if you are interested. I don't really make any money hosting but, every little bit helps offset my costs. It's my playground and I make/configure sites for friends. Here is a link to find the demo account.
Thanks to WordPress for the best web design resource out there whether pay-ware or GPL !!! WordPress ROCKS!

since installing this theme, my posts are now not only truncated on the main page (which I like) but most of them are preceded with the following sentence:

Why does it say this? What plugin is it referring to?

Ha ! this is funny but not as funny as Hampton will look in the throw back uniforms next game. He's going to look like one big fat bee.
I too don't understand how McClendon doesn't get a shot at some position as a starter. Hampton doesn't bring it like he used to. Hood gets hoodwinked and Heyward.............I haven't seen enough of him to really say. Maybe Hood should have his YouTube workout video played on the jumbo screen during the game so the opponents can be impressed ?

Dungeonland dev diary explains lack of grinding
Dungeonland is a dungeon crawler in its most pure form – no story and no level requirements. Critical Studios has explained how this takes the grind out of the RPG.
Dungeonland released today in some territories apparently, but on the Australian Steam storefront we have to wait until January 30. Preorders are available through a variety of digital distributors.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Energy Ball and Hidden Power Fighting can hit Politoed and Tyranitar very hard on the switch in, while Flamethrower is a more reliable alternative to Fire Blast. Hypnosis's low accuracy makes it hard to use, but a free sleep is very useful. If Ninetales doesn't predict correctly and another weather inducer comes in, then it will be left at a severe disadvantage. For this reason, Venusaur can make an excellent partner, as it is able to hit all other weather inducers for super effective damage and can switch in on them rather easily, while taking advantage of Chlorophyll when sun is up. A Pokemon such as Latios or Skarmory makes an excellent partner for Ninetales, able to switch in and threaten most of the Pokemon that threaten it. Doubles/Triples Sets Ninetales @ Focus Sash / Shuca Berry 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe nature: Modest - Heat Wave - Energy Ball - Hidden Power Fighting / Hidden Power Ice - Protect Ninetales makes for a powerful weather starter, setting the stage for a sun team. Heat Wave takes advantage of the sun boost and is a spread move. Energy Ball hits Politoed, Rhyperior, and Water-types for super effective damage, while Hidden Power Fighting allows Ninetales to do some decent damage to Tyranitar. While Hidden Power Ice leaves you open to Tyranitar, it hits Garchomp and Salamence for super effective damage. However, since Hidden Power Ice maxes out at 96% on Garchomp, Ninetales requires priority or a faster teammate to complete the KO on Garchomp. Since Ninetales is the fastest of the weather starters, it requires adequate support to take on opposing weather. A Grass-type Chlorophyll abuser can take advantage of the weather and hit most other weather starters for super effective damage, while an Iron Ball lowers Ninetales's Speed to get sun up over rain, sand, or hail. Iron Ball allows Ninetales to underspeed and set up sun over every other weather starter except for Hippowdon, which allows Ninetales to work well on a Trick Room sun team. If using HP Ice, an IV spread of 31/31/31/31/31/2 should be used to maintain the lowest possible Speed.
