Just bought Black and White 2... and a G5 laser mouse
ok Im installing BW2 now. hopefully its as good as I hope.
btw, this new mouse is AMAMAZINGGIGNG. Its the same exact dimensions as the mx518(which is so comfortable for me) but its got fancy weights(I've got it at the heaviest setting, and it's nice and hefty), very cool looking, and so accurate.
The finish is strange at first but you get used to it. Unlike other logitech gaming mouses (mx510, mx518, g7) this has a matte finish, instead of a clear coat on top of the paint. It feels like it has a sanded finish, which works suprisingly well for sweaty hands, and gives great grip. It doesnt feel uncomfortable at all(although I prefer the smooth clear finish). The side "grips) are also different. Instead of being smooth, they have a textured feel. It seems like the same material as other logitech mouses, but it has a sandpaper feel to it. Again, its wierd but very comfortable after you get used to it. I love this mouse
Have you noticed while playing the game , it randomly crashes? I get a crash evey 60-90 minutes... It makes me sad... Maybe the 1.1 patch will fix it...
I did install the new nvidia beta drivers for black and white 2, and they helped , but it still crashes for me... Nvidia Beta Drivers for BLACK AND WHITE 2

See if you can borrow a Dvd drive from someone, almost always cyclic redudancy checks are drive specific at least from my experiance
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 9300 w 6800go and 1.2 gigs of ram
Desktop: intel i7-3770, 16Gb Ram, Radeon 7970, 18.5 Tb HD space, Dell 3008 WFP 30"
I tried both of my drives. Both are Plextors, which aren't known for having read errors, or errors of any kind. This is the first time I've had a problem with either drive. I have a plexwriter premium and px-708a. I'm going to try adjusting the laser strength on the plexwriter, although I think it only affects writing, not reading. Maybe isobuster or some other program can help.

There's something wrong with the cd. I reach 39% in isobuster trying to extract the raw data, and then it starts getting tons of read errors. I've set it to replace all erros with 0's, but if its too msessed up I probably won't be able to install the the game properly even using a virtual drive. This is rediculous.
Screw this Im going to get a cd replacement from EA. But knowing them, they'll be jerkoffs about it and not give me one. I know Gamestop sure as hell isn't gonig to replace my copy.

Nice heads up on that driver, if it doesn't run right away on the 77.77s I'll install it.
I just found the link to patch 1.1 to skip the tutorial, but they're not releasing it yet!! If anyone has a copy of this 106 meg file pls link to it!
I used to get the CRC errors with my UT2003 final CD, I found just jumping in the BIOS and doing a combination of disabling IDE Prefetch, IDE Bus Master, turning it to PIO let me install it without errors - perhaps try that before you go to the trouble of sending it back.
Im going to run to the shops on the way home from uni to see if they have it
Wow this game is fantastic, there is so much to do!
I went to gamestop tonight. First I called them and explained the cd glitch. The manager, who Im on good terms with, said that they usually have an "open once, own forever" policy, meaning once it's open, it doesn't matter if the cds inside were busted during shipping, they dont take it back or exachange it. However, he was nice enough to let me bring in my copy, and get it replaced. I was, right it was the cd. The new copy installed without a hitch. This game RULES. The tutorial made me flip out though. I had to sit through 5 minutes of "press mouse button two and drag left to move the screen...." and then, when you miss, its does that slow ass reset where the guy goes "im sorry but you moved too much in the wrong direction. Please click and hold the highlighted area"
So, whats the game like?

First there is a city building element that takes up a lot of my time. You drag and drop buildings and create a city, consisting of temples, houses, storehouses, etc like a normal RTS. Except as you get more good or evil, everything in your city shows it. For instance, I'm a 100% evil god, my buildings are decorated in fire and are painted black. The ground is a cracked lava surface with no grass, and bugs crawl all over it.
Then there is the creature element, which is totally better than I expected. The creature is about 40 feet high and can assume roles of a builder, gatherer, soldier, or entertainer. Or you can leave your creature to do whatever it feels like, it's hillarious, it will yell out everything it does like, "I'm going to poop on that villager's head!" As an army unit the creature can stomp on troops or catapults, punch down walls, and cast miracles like fire or lightning. The creature has two bars, Free Will and Alignment, to show you how obedient and how good/evil your creature is. If you have the Soldier role on, the creature will lose his free will in about an hour, but if you want him to roam around and be happy, just put the free will leash on him and he gets his free will back.
The stuff that makes the game so awesome are the graphics, the ability to pick up mass amounts of villagers (and throw them), and the virtual pet kind of creature. The physics engine is cool, after a catapult takes a chunk out of your city wall, you can grab the rock and throw it back at them! The other sweet thing is that you can rotate the view to any angle, direction, or zoom. You can zoom up as close as Rome: Total War, but you can zoom out about 10X as much so your troops look like ants.
By far the best thing is the creature, I <3 my lion because he pwns in battle but also break dances for my villagers.
hehe I chose the tiger for my creature - I just got the 1.1 patch, it apparently fixes a few problems that may arise if you try and finish some lands, so recommend you dl it (100mb)
this game wins!
How much of an improvement is this over the first? I enjoyed the first one but after a while it got boring, is it just the same thing with better graphics?

City building is now a major element of the game, the bigger and more impressive your city, other towns will migrate to your town! The only down side to city building is that you don't start out with all the buildings, you have to earn them by gaining 'tribute' (different to prayer power/mana) and buying new buildings. For instance, you do a silver scroll quest and get 40,000 tribute, and now you can buy the ability to build a skyscraper or a university. Plus every building reflects your alignment, you can see how the buildings in the screenshot are dark and decorated with fire, and the ground is cracked and showing lava.
Armies are the evil element that has been added, and you can raise armies of grunts, archers, and catapults. You use armies to capture towns, but the creature does more of my warring for me. The creature can punch down city defenses, stomp on enemy platoons, or cast miracles like fireball/lightning/meteor to kill them(the three passive miracles are heal, shield, and water.
Lastly, the graphics are much improved.

The Chinese "CE3" Fuxin National Forest Park 2012 video
My initial feedback from mainland Chinese UFO research friends are understandably not exactly glowing in the assessment of the entertaining "CE3" Fuxn National Forest Park 2012 video presented on Stephen Hannard ADG (UK) site. Most of the western commentary has been dominated by negative assessments and its easy to see why. The only way this film will get much credibility, if that is possible is if provenance, credible independent investigation by established investigators confirms the obvious facts. The record on the more eye-boggling vids out of China in recent years has not been good and some talented CGI have cleverly added to their resumes. This looks like more of the same to me. If a credible investigation is possible maybe things might bear reviewing.

Florida Republican Calls Out McCain on Offshore Drilling
There are so many problems with John McCain's idea that we're going to use offshore drilling to alleviate high gas prices and get us out of our current energy pickle.
First, there isn't all that much oil to be found in the continental United States and sucking it out of the ground won't lower prices substantially. Second, there are no ships available to serve new rigs. Third, oil companies currently have leases for some offshore drilling that they aren't using. Fourth, it will take seven to ten years before we can actually get at the oil off American shores, if we were to start drilling today. Fifth, it presents serious environmental concerns.
It's an ineffective attempt at a quick fix. In so far as it keeps Americans from thinking about and coming to terms with long-term structural changes that will actually solve the energy crisis, it's an incredibly damaging idea.
You don't have to be a Democrat to understand this. Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio, a Republican, is calling out McCain:
"For anyone to represent that someone drilling off the coast in Florida is going to lower gas prices here or anywhere in this country is disingenuous and a flawed argument," he said. "Oil drilling could take 10 years before any oil is pulled out of the ground, and there are a large number of leases held by oil companies that are not being exploited now. We can't say we need more until we've exploited those."
H/T Think Progress.

It's not every day that you get to move to New York City and reinvent yourself. I was tired of being boring, predictable Emma Mills. I was convinced that my life would be totally different in the Big Apple.
And I was right.
Jackson Reynard was irresistible and I had no plans on resisting him. Jackson was the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome and I was more than happy to let him sweep me off my feet. I expected a summer fling but instead I got a heart-stopping romance. I realized that I had met the love of my life. I just didn't realize that sometimes love isn't enough.
It's hard enough getting over an ex. It's even harder when he becomes Hollywood's next biggest heartthrob and his face is plastered on every magazine cover. But the hardest part? The hardest part is when he thrusts himself back into my life and won't let go of the past.
I survived losing the man I loved the first time. I don't think I'll survive it again.

"Very Enjoyable!"
Great listen! Loved every minute of it! I surely lost lots of sleep time because I could not stop listening. If you like anxiety ridden stories this one is for you. The narrator did a marvelous job narrating the story.
"Ugh!!! Don't waste your credit!!!!"
A plot and a better narrator. Emma got on my nerves!
Omg!!! Her voice? And her giggles, please stop!!!!
"I wish I had left this one behind...ugh"
Who might enjoy this book? I don't know, it is hard for me to imagine anyone "enjoying" it. I listened to half of this book and it was so bad I stopped listening and downloaded other books. I finally ran out of credits and decided to go back and finish. It was painful. The narrator was just as bad as the story with all her strange giggles.
The only way this book could be more enjoyable is if it actually had a plot.
No, I will put her on my do not listen list.
It made me sick to my stomach becuse it was so stupid and most of the time I could say the words outloud before I heard them because the story was so predictable. If you are really unintelligent you might like this story.
"Loved it"
Lots of angst and really emotional but I absolutely loved it.
I'll look out for more books from this author.
"Could not finish it"
I was very interested at the start of this book but when the two main characters met and how quickly they began to shag without any build up or 'courtship' really put me off and the sex wasn't that hot either. Just couldn't continue reading. It felt very flat and empty and the characters difficult to relate to. Give it a miss.
"easy listening"
easy listening with out holding you in !!
no , there are no unanswered questions
"Nice story, steamy scenes"
I have listened to this audio, carefully and I am still thinking what review should I give it. I liked the overall story. There are some intense moments, but there is not great storyline behind it. It's a bit predictable, which makes it easy listening. No great suspense.
I think a major downside is the narrator. I felt she didn't really put her soul into it at times. The dialogues where nicely done. The male voice OK, but during the narration of the novel it was plain flat. Sometimes I found it difficult to pay attention to her.
If it was a real book in my hands, I would probably have enjoyed it better.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story. You will still enjoy it. I just wish the narrator did a better job.

Listing to the cry's from my dog when we hit a salty patch on our daily walks was just too much. Boots did not suit him. I was aware of this product but I had my doubts about if it would work. I was wrong. I put it on his paws and rubbed it into the fur between his pads - not adding too much of the product - and it worked great. I held my breath as he walked through a puddle of salty water into a snow bank without any pain. We walk across heavily salted pavement with no problems now. Sorry I waited so long. There are no marks from the product on the dark brown ceramic tile on the floor in the mud room where I apply it either. Great stuff.
My highly competitive male does a lot of sliding and slipping during agility and frisbee games. He was prone to ripping open his pads. Musher's Secret has helped to get his pads in A+ shape. When they are flexible/pliable and not dry/cracked, they hold up much better to his competitive antics. I would recommend it HIGHLY as a maintenance product to keep pads in wonderful condition and prevent problems from ever occurring.
This worked fairly well, but it did not last for more than about half an hour in deep snow. It was somewhat difficult to apply b/c it is so solid. I couldn't seem to get much out of the container to apply on my dog's paws. In all, it did help a lot in keeping snow from balling up between her paws. I've also heard that vaseline works well so I'll try that and compare the two.
This wax is a lot more convenient than struggling with doggie shoes. It works well to prevent ice clogs on doggie's paws.
This has really worked on my dog's very rough spots on his pads. Can't wait to see how it works in the snow. Will definitely keep using and recommending to others.
We've had more snow here then I can ever remember, and I needed something better than booties for my 2 pooches who pick up their feet and cry whenever they touch ice or salt. This product works great, they no longer have a problem with snowballs/salt unless I am taking them on a super long walk and the product wears off a bit. I am a professional dog trainer and have started recommending this product to my clients as well!
Worked great for thr snowballs between Fuzzy's toes, also stopped her peds from cracking. easy to use.

Maple Tuiles
Author Notes: This recipe is adapted from the Maple Curls recipe from my mom's edition of the Joy of Cooking (it's not in the new one, though I can't possibly fathom why). They are super easy and I make them all the time, and they are also the cookies I made for Amanda when I first met her! —lauren
Makes about 15 cookies
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour, sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring the maple syrup, butter, and vanilla to a hard boil for 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat, and whisk in the flour and salt until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps whatsoever.
- Place one tablespoon of batter on a silpat-lined cookie sheet (batter will be slightly runny). Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to leave about 2-3 inches between cookies. Bake for about 12-13 minutes, or until cookies take on a lace-like appearance. Let cool completely on the silpat.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I'd like to report a few bugs/features that I think would really help make PlayBook better.
Although most are minor items there is a chance that some items would be better suited as private reports directly to RIM. If there is an appropriate channel to do so, please advise.
For now, these 4 items are the main ones that come to mind.
1.) Screen settings: I would **really**, **really** like to have an option to go to standby after 30min, 1hour, 2hours, or better yet - **never** (especially when I'm plugged in to A/C power or docked. There are several apps I enjoy using (e.g. Browser) that I read/watch... only to have the device try to auto-suspend when the 5min is up.
2.) If it is possible, it would be very nice if holding the volume up/down buttons actually continuously increased/decreased the volume vs. having to press the buttons multiple times
3.) When using the Browser, I often minimize/auto-hide the location bar to maximize my screen real-estate... however when swiping down to view it... if I type a partial address and notice a match in the drop down for the site I want... I can't click on it, as this triggers the menu's auto-hide action
4.) The new Messages app is great! My only issue is that although I like the blinking red LED indicator (similar to a BB phone), the red corner marker in the top left of the screen is too distracting (and ruins the asthetics) of the apps/games I'm running when I get new messages all day long. It would be very nice if there was a separate option for this indicator. (e.g. I still want the LED light, and the email count/icon indicator... just not the red corner overlay)
Otherwise I'm loving my PlayBook both as a user and a developer and I'm looking forward to whats to come. ;-)
Allow me to use the native contact, calendar and email apps to work with my contacts, calendar and email that are on my phone/desktop. Can't believe that this is not already done.
Allow me to log in to the Hotspot! I have tried every combination since updating OTA this AM and continue to get "Invalid JAD content: null" as a messge.
I just upgraded to OS2 this morning and now I find that Slideshow to Go is missing from my Docs To Go app.
+1 on the red corner indicator for emails after OS2.
At first I thought that my PB LCD has developed a defect!
Then I realized it's to alert me of new emails!LOL.

Can't repeat it enough times, direct sync with Outlook is a must for non enterprise users. No cloud service, no web based email contact list, just plain and simple direct sync via the DM just like the phone. Can't imagine how this feature was not included with the OS update. This is a deal breaker! The Playbook without this feature makes it just a toy and the phone is the real tool!

Sorry duplicate post!
posted this reply in another thread but better to post as reply to help sort the fix needed
Slideshow is still there - the problem is there is no Icon on the Docs to go Index page.
You now cant create a new slideshow doc.
You can import a pps file from your PC - but to access any Slideshow doc (.pps) file you have to load and edit them by opening the files via the File Manager
A work-a-round but not an acceptable fix when the +Slideshow icon should be part off the Docs to go app.
I also noticed that when playing audio... the Play button (triangle) at the top of the main menu lets you "peek" into the current track, to pause it... or skip back/forward.... and even shows the album artwork/song title etc. this part works great and is very handy. ;-)
However if you have missing artwork in your music collection (I'm missing about 25% due to one-off mixes, covers, bootlegs, mashups, audio podcasts etc.) that the cover art isn't "blanked out", or replaced with a generic shiny CD or music note etc. it just keeps the old cover displayed...
this tends to look odd when I'm listening to a mashup between "Garbage" and "Nine Inch Nails" but the cover art shows "Pop Will Eat Itself"
In addition I think the "tooltip" cover art display uses a different "fetch" mechanism than the music app... as I sometimes see my artwork in the full player... but the "tooltip" is stuck a previous track's artwork.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said Wednesday he supports a broad charter school law that would place few restrictions on their enactment.
Reeves said in a narrative, "I support strong charter school legislation that has broad flexibility as to where they can locate and who they can serve, yet strict as to who is authorized to establish these schools.
"Those who wish to develop new charter schools should have a proven track record of success."
Reeves, in his first year as lieutenant governor, unveiled his legislative agenda at a news conference Friday at the Capitol flanked by several Senate committee chairs he appointed.
Various groups support expanding the state's restrictive charter school law. But some, such as the Mississippi Economic Council, have endorsed charter schools only where the traditional public school is failing.
Senate County Affairs Chair Nickey Browning, D-Pontotoc, said he prefers that approach, but "I will talk to my superintendents to see what they say. I really can't see one locating in our area because the public schools are so good."
Charter schools can take many shapes, but in general they receive public funds while operating outside some of the regulations of traditional public schools.
Other items on Reeves' legislative agenda include placing limits on the attorney general's ability to hire private attorneys to pursue lawsuits on behalf of the state, though he did not provide many specifics of restrictions he would support.
In recent years, Republicans have called for such restrictions, but those efforts were rejected by the Democratic-led House. With Republicans now in control of both chambers, that legislation is expected to have a better chance.
Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood has countered that all the information on his contracts with the attorneys is posted on his web page and that he hires the attorney who brings the idea for the lawsuit to him. He said he only hires outside counsel in instances where his staff is not in position to take on the case. The private attorneys are only paid if they win the lawsuit.
Reeves also called for limiting the issuance of state bonds and passage of legislation to require mandatory reporting of incidents of child sexual abuse.
A summary Reeves supplied of his legislative agenda touched on a number of other areas:
• Consolidating three low-performing school districts in Sunflower County and looking for other areas where school district mergers are needed.
• Expanding the state's ability to purchase in bulk to include services such as waste management and accounting.
• Expanding programs that bring teachers to poor areas of the state.

Heidi Klum is back from New York Fashion Week and taking a break from shooting 'Germany Next Top Model.' But there's no rest for the weary (or working moms). Here's Heidi cheering on her little soccer superstars! I'm sure having boyfriend Martin Kristen along makes things more interesting.
Given the age range of her kids, Heidi was lucky to find a place where all of the kids could play. I'm sure they're playing in different games (based on age). but it's still a lot easier than having the run the kids around to four different activities. I feel exhausted just thinking of all the projects Heidi has going on.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. – A large single-owner collection comprising some 400 lots in an array of categories—to include Chein toys, Coca-Cola collectibles, framed art and lithograph prints, Indian art and artifacts, vintage dolls, toy trains and airplanes, Americana and more—will be sold in an online, phone and absentee bid auction slated for Saturday, Aug. 15.
The collector—is a gentleman from north Georgia who, out of modesty, has requested anonymity until after the sale is over—with help from his wife, accumulated hundreds of items over a period of 40 years.
"Once you step inside the home, where items are kept on shelf after shelf and room after room, time flies by as stories reveal the origins of his favorite pieces," said Steve Poteet of Clarity Sells Auction Gallery, which will be handing the sale.
Poteet says he spent four days in the home, cataloging the auction, and expected bidder interest will be keen for the several toys made by J. Chein & Co. Included are a 17-inch Hercules Ferris Wheel (circa 1950s), a Playland Merry-Go-Round carousel with children seated atop horses and swan coaches, and a very rare Aeroplane Whirler Space Ride (circa 1960s), depicting what was, for the time, futuristic space travel. Production of this toy was very short-lived, and only a few examples are known to exist today.
Chein toys are generally rare and coveted by collectors. The consignor bought five of the toys at a garage sale in 1972, for just $5 each. Not long ago, someone from the PBS series "Antiques Roadshow" who'd heard about the toys paid the man a visit. "He offered me $500 for all five and I showed him the door," the collector said. "One of the toys alone was appraised at $1,200, and that was many years ago."
For more than 75 years, J. Chein & Co. produced some of the finest lithographed tin toys ever made in America. Founded in 1903 by Julius Chein, the New Jersey-based firm almost immediately started making wonderfully colored but inexpensive toys—from model amusement rides and wind-up characters to spirited banks and sand pails. Its dime-store offerings delighted both kids and collectors.
Indian art and artifacts, currently filling one corner of a basement room in the consignor's home, include arrowheads (or points), found by the collector himself on digs in north Georgia and throughout the Southeast. "I found lots of points and pieces of broken pottery in a campsite at Carter's Dam, in Adairsville (Georgia)," he said. "One time I found a skeleton, but I didn't keep it. I called the warden."
The Coca-Cola collectibles include a pair of horse-drawn Coke wagons, one old and one new. The older one—purchased by a friend's father in the 1930s, when the boy was just 11 years old—will attract more bidder interest, but the newer one (circa 2005), is a nice example, too. Also offered will be a 6-pack of Coke in a rare aluminum case.
More than 100 framed art and lithograph prints will cross the block. One lot of note is a framed print depicting the experience of immigration titled "Pillars of a Nation." A man whose grandfather passed through Ellis Island in New York when he emigrated from Hungary in 1907 commissioned the work. It comes with a certificate of authenticity on the reverse side, and is signed and numbered (3,094/20,000).
Also to be sold will be a pair of companion C.M. Russell screened prints, produced from watercolor paintings done in the early 1900s; a documented work by the legendary artist Chesley Bonestell (subject of the book "Worlds Beyond – The Art of Chesley Bonestell"), titled "Saturn as Seen From Titan;" and an intriguing original portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, depicting the former French leader in a seated pose, done around 1865.
Vintage dolls and toys include a papier-mâché and wood horse, sitting atop tiny spoke metal wheels, quite old and rare; porcelain face dolls, produced by manufacturers worldwide; celluloid dolls from the 40s and 50s (U.S.-made); some papier-mâché clown dolls in immaculate condition, (from his wife's large clown collection, signed; an original Kewpie doll in a grass skirt; and toy airplanes (one with a gas engine, World War II edition).
Glassware will include a Dale Tiffany style-signed dragonfly art glass lamp (for which $10 was paid, at an auction); Avon bottles; a beautiful vase, 34 inches tall with a 6-inch base; another vase, 12 inches tall; and eight Christmas-themed Smucker's jelly plates. Also offered will be a pair of Fu Lions on carved teakwood stands. The lion cubs play on their mother's back in carved pink gemstones—possibly jade.
The consignor has been collecting "stuff" (as he calls it) since moving his family to north Georgia in the 1960s. He got the bug while working for Virgil's Auctions in Adairsville, in the 1960s. "I worked the floor, but we'd go on trips to New York and New Jersey, looking for items to bring back and sell. Some of it I ended up buying for myself, like a porcelain frog I paid a quarter for. About a week later a guy offered me seven bucks for that frog. That's when I realized there was profit in collecting."
Only about 20 of the 400 lots in the sale won't be from the single-owner collection. Those 20 lots are mainly Chinese porcelain pieces and antique view cameras which are from another southern collector.
The auction will begin promptly at 11 a.m., EST. Previews will be held by appointment only, from Aug. 10-14. For more information, call Clarity Sells at (423) 339-5581 or, you can e-mail them at email@example.com. A 24-page, full-color illustrated auction brochure may be ordered, also by phone, at a cost of $12.95 (postage paid). Internet bidding will be facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com.

AFSCME Organizing Home Care Workers in Vermont
by Helen Cox | April 25, 2012

BURLINGTON, Vt. – This past week, AFSCME members came together in Vermont to support the efforts of caregivers in forming their union, Vermont Homecare United/AFSCME.
Members from Pennsylvania, Kentucky and right here in Vermont have already reached hundreds of caregivers at their homes and have significantly grown our Council 93 family.
"Visiting caregivers to talk about their work is an amazing experience and the first step in ensuring that they can continue providing quality care and maintaining strong programs in our state." said Patti Cilwick, a social worker at HowardCenter, a local non-profit. "All of our voices are stronger when we come together with AFSCME."
More than 5,000 caregivers in the Green Mountain State provide Medicaid-funded in-home services to children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Since January, caregivers have come together to stand up for quality care and respect for the care they provide.
"We all deserve dignity and respect," caregiver Florette Dorr said. "Caregivers and consumers need a voice in ensuring quality services and shaping the future of our programs."
This week's efforts were made possible through AFSCME's Volunteer Member Organizing program which combines classroom and field-based training in building the fight for public service. Click here to learn more about the VMO program.

As the man leading wrestling's charge to preserve its Olympic status, Nenad Lalovic believes he's done what it takes.
Three months after wrestling was surprisingly dropped from the 2020 Games, Lalovic will present a new-look sport and revamped governing body to the IOC on Wednesday in a bid to keep its Olympic place.
"I'm confident," Lalovic, the new president of international federation FILA, said Tuesday. "A lot of people say to me, 'Oh, you won't face any problem here,' but we'll see. We did everything we could. Nothing else was possible.
"We will continue, no matter what we will be decided here. It's a new sport."
Wrestling is competing against seven other sports for a single opening on the 2020 lineup. The others are a combined baseball-softball bid, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding and the Chinese martial art of wushu.
The federations will make closed-door presentations to the IOC executive board, which will decide on Wednesday which sport or sports to recommend to the IOC general assembly for a final vote on Sept. 8 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The likelihood is that the IOC board will select a shortlist of three or four finalists. Wrestling, squash and karate have been cited as strong contenders. Men's baseball and women's softball, which have been off the program since the 2008 Beijing Games, have merged into a single federation to improve their chances.
The addition of wrestling to the mix has not gone over well with all the sports, who feel that wrestling is overshadowing the contest and reducing their own chances. If wrestling is reinstated in September, it will defeat the IOC's original goal of bringing in a new sport.
Lalovic, a Serb who replaced Switzerland's Raphael Martinetti as FILA president, isn't concerned about the plight of the other sports.
"They are a little bit surprised," he said. "They had two years to prepare. We had three months. We are here because we were not good enough. They have to think about their sport. We don't think about their sport. We think about our sport and we prepare ourselves without watching what's going on around us."
Wrestling, a sport with a tradition dating back to the ancient Olympics, has gone through a major upheaval since it was dropped by the IOC in February. Lalovic was elected FILA president, women and athletes were brought into decision-making roles, and the sport adopted a series of rule changes designed to make wrestling more fan-friendly and easier to understand.
Among the changes, matches will consist of two 3-minute sessions instead of three 2-minute periods, and scoring will be cumulative instead of the previous two-out-of-three system.
Big in Japan, Turkey
Lalovic said his message to the IOC on Wednesday will be clear and simple.
"We had the strength to change," he said. "We already did and we will continue. We made mistakes in the past for sure. Now we are looking forward. We don't look back."
Among the countries where the decision will be watched most closely is the United States, where wrestling has a strong Olympic tradition and where 300,000 high school students compete in the sport.
"The Olympic Games is the ultimate stamp of legitimacy on your sport," USA Wrestling executive director Rich Bender said in St. Petersburg on Tuesday. "You talk to young wresters all over the world, and they'll say the same thing. What's their goal? Their goal is to be Olympic champion. I'm not sure that's the same with all the other sports."
The issue is also being followed by the three cities bidding to host the 2020 Games — Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo. Bid leaders from the three candidates are in Istanbul to make presentations Thursday at the SportAccord Convention. Wrestling is particularly popular in Turkey and Japan.
"It is important for Turkey because of our success and because it is a national sport," Istanbul bid leader Hasan Arat said Tuesday. "But this is an IOC board decision which we have to respect. I see lots of changes in wrestling and I hope wrestling will remain in the games."

"After enjoying a similar Italian dish at a restaurant, I decided to crate this recipe," says Michele Salazar. "My husband loves it." In her Plain City, Ohio kitchen she smothers a salmon fillet with artichoke hearts, olives and diced tomatoes.
Spring-ish Recipes to Make In April
- 1 salmon fillet (20 ounces)
- 1 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped
- 1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives
- 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and quartered
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- Cut salmon into four pieces. Place on a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 15 in.). Top each piece with the olives, artichokes and tomatoes. Fold foil around salmon and seal tightly.
- Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 4 servings.

403 ForbiddenThat message is actually where I started this blog - many, many years ago. It's come up, in discussion, several times.
The message "403 Forbidden" is literally a response by a computer somewhere, saying that you are not permitted to access this computer. For Blogger / Google customers, it generally has a slightly different origin.
The "403 Forbidden" message, for Blogger blog owners, is frequently the result of a networking technique, used by Google and owners of other large networks, for blocking suspicious network traffic.
"403 Forbidden" refers to suspicious network traffic, maybe from a bot cluster.
It generally means that some group of computers, in your ISPs address space, are controlled by somebody besides their legal owners - and are generating excessive network traffic which the Google networks are detecting as suspicious. The "suspicious activity" may involve brute force password guessing, or botnet driven new blog setup activity, or maybe excessive relaying of referer spam.
Some other Blogger account owner(s), somewhere else in the world, may be seeing a "Disabled account" notice, referring to "suspicious activity on your account", or maybe odd links to pornographic websites, from the Stats logs.
Google initially blocks the general address space, to examine the problem.
In order to continue service to the world in general, Google will block the problem computers, from access to their networks. If the Internet address used by your computer is similar to the addresses used by the problem computers, Google will block your computer, along with the other computers (your neighbours computers).
You may have to wait this problem out, as Google researches it.
If this happens to you, there's probably nothing that you can do but wait this out. One or more things will happen, eventually.
- Other Google users will report the symptom - or validate their identity - and Google will research the problem.
- Google will research the problem, reduce the range of addresses blocked, and remove the block on your specific address space.
- The computers involved will go offline, or otherwise cease their attacks, and Google will remove the network block.
If you know how to, and if your Internet service allows you to do this, you may be able to change your Internet address. This solution won't be universally effective, though.
- Your Internet service ("Fixed IP") may not allow this.
- You may not know how to do this.
- Your Internet service may detect this change, by you, as suspicious activity.
- Your new address may also be blocked by Google, because of activity by another set of problem computers.
- Your new address may be blocked by another Internet service, and you'll have to start over with them.
So right now, I'll not go into the details of changing your address - though you may try doing this, if you wish. It's your computer, after all.

Kara Ada (Bodrum)

Kara Ada, (literally "Black island" in Turkish), is a small Turkish island in the Bay of Bodrum in the Aegean Sea. It is a popular tourist destination, particularly for yachting.
In the Middle Ages the island, which the Greeks know under the name of Arkos, was taken over by the Knights of St. John Hospitaller, who also occupied Bodrum. It was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. In 1919 it was occupied by the Italians. The 1932 Convention between Italy and Turkey assigned it to Turkey.

Toddla T: Not a problem man, it's nothing. I'd chat all day if I could.
GDD™: Have you always spun dancehall, twostep and dub or has it been a lengthy process developing the sound you have now?
TT: Basically, when I was 10 and old enough to start buying my own records, I was mad into hip-hop. So from 10-15 I was like a purist, of American hip-hop mainly. When I was about 15 I got into reggae and dancehall, then garage kicked off in the UK, and then I got into House and Techno. By the time I was actually making music, I was into so much that it moulded the sound that I have now.
GDD™: So when you were growing up in Sheffield who were the main artists that influenced you?
TT: To be honest, it was mainly the local djs and producers who really made me go "Wow!" Even though they were playing music from all over the place, it was the way they put the tunes together at the parties I'd go to, that made me go "Fuckin' hell this is amazing" and really opened my mind. They were the guys who would string together dancehall with dance music, and really Sheffield-ey electro stuff. It made sense, and it still to me is the most incredible sound that's individual to Sheffield and the party scene there. There's a producer called Ross Orton who really put that sound together well. I used to go around and chill with him, he'd play me stuff that would knock my head off!! He actually engineered and mixed my Skanky Skanky album. So even though the music was from everywhere around the world, it was put together in a very special Sheffield style – something that has influenced me more than anything else so far.
GDD™: It's definitely a unique sound you've got going on.
TT: Wicked, thanks man.
GDD™: I was lucky enough to catch you at Fabric a couple of times last year with Serocee, are you bringing him out to the States to MC for you?
TT: I'm not this time unfortunately, because of visa issues but we'll be back in America soon and he's gonna come. Unfortunately, it's just me, so I might have to step up to the mic a few times haha.
GDD™: What direction do you think you'll be taking in 2010 given your influences?
TT: I'm making my next album right now as we speak. As far as the production goes, its deeper in a few areas: the record's got a vocals straight from Jamaica rather than British Jamaican ones. I've been to Jamaica a couple of times over the past year and got really tucked into the root of the stuff I really love. Dj-wise, I'm just into new dance music that's got a bit of weight and something about it, but I guess I'll be playing whatever's really exciting and wicked in the clubs, always with that party element in mind. As far as the production goes, it's going to be a little bit deeper and not as cartoonish I suppose. We'll wait until the album's finished.
GDD™: Mate, you can't call Skanky Skanky a cartoon album. Come on, you're selling yourself short…
TT: I like that though, I like the fact that it's kind of cartoonish in areas. It makes it fun you know? Which is wicked because that's me and that's what it's about. But I really like the idea of going and making a deeper one now. Then again, I won't know that until it's finished, so I don't want to speak before I've made the thing.
GDD™: Looking forward to hearing what you're going to bring out. I heard rumors that last week you were out in Jamaica with Major Lazer?
TT: Yeh, that was wicked man.
GDD™: Could we get the inside scoop on what you were doing out there?
TT: Yeh sure, I was working with Dave [Switch]. They rented a house for a month and a lot of studios, and wanted people to come over and vibe off it, to throw ideas back and forth. So I went over for 4 days, it was a flying visit and due to my calendar being so mad right now, I couldn't get any longer off. I built a couple of tracks with them, worked on vocal sessions and just kind of bounced ideas with them. It was for their project, so I was writing beats with them, but after I'd finished my 4 days there it's kind of up to them to determine what they do with it. But it was incredible man, Pon De Floor is kicking off in Jamaica right now, it took a lot of time to catch on, but it's really happening. Major Lazer are getting a lot of respect and heat out in Jamaica, so a lot of the artists were really enthusiastic to work with them. We had Beenie Man; Elephant Man; bare people man, it was an incredible experience.
GDD™: What an awesome experience man, that's very cool. On a lighter note: three artists that you're mad about for 2010?
TT: Redlight, he used to be called Clipz, he's currently making mad sh*t between 130 and 140bpm and it's genre-less, proper UK bass music, with a big breaky element. An 18 year old MC called Maxsta from East London is really talented too. I don't know what it is about Max, but he just stands out straight away. I think with the right production he could be someone really big and successful. Also, he's not a new act at all, but Seiji is back with complete and utter fire. He's in Bugz In The Attic, and he's doing his solo stuff again. Really beat driven, he's banging out so many tunes. I know he's been around for a while, but I think at the time of the whole bass music/dubstep thing, his sound is more relevant now to the masters than ever before.
GDD™: Back in October you tore it up at the Scion Party at the Roxy in Hollywood. Is it difficult playing to Americans who perhaps don't understand what skankin' is, and don't get the whole Boom DJ persona?
TT: Haha. Yeh, when I went to America last time and played at that Scion thing, it was the first time I'd dj'd in the States. My main concern was whether the people there would understand the tunes. But I was really surprised how well it went down, because I was getting booked for a lot of dubstep things. A lot of the stuff I play is quite close to that, the sort of funky bassline stuff is not that different. And then I played other parties; I played a Fool's Gold party in New York which was more housey disco-electro, and again people seemed really into it. So to be honest, I didn't have a rubbish gig at all, it was a brilliant experience and I was quite surprised at how much the Americans were into it. Looking forward to this next one.
GDD™: Yeh, we're looking forward to welcoming you to the Avalon. Last of all, and I have to ask you this because of the nature of our blog: When you're not on the 1s and 2s, do you dance dirty?
TT: Do I dance dirty? Yeh man! Even if I'm on the 1s and 2s I dance. If I'm on the turntables or not, I don't know if I'd call it dirty dancing, but there's now't wrong with a bit of flesh!

It's not a trip to the moon. It's not even manned spaceflight. But it is a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, and it's not insignificant. So if you want a front-row seat to witness one giant leap for private business, then you'll want to make your way over to Cape Canaveral for the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and its Dragon spacecraft.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.orlandosentinel.com ...
Its a step in the right direction even if it is a much smaller step than I would like.
Baby steps for Private industry in space..
I think that once we get to actual mining of near earth asteroids, the advances will come in leaps and bound.
I think you are right, we need rockets to get to the Asteroids much faster and efficient..
"Cape Canaveral?" Did they change the name back while I was napping?
The way I see it, near earth asteroid mining will lead to a gold rush in the main asteroid belt which means investment in propulsion research. From there they will start casting glances at the Kuiper belt. By the time the Ort cloud becomes a reasonable goal, we're half way to Alpha C.
Gotta wake people up to the fact that mining and manufacturing in space is the way to go.
From 1963 to 1973, the area was renamed "Cape Kennedy."
President John F. Kennedy set the goal of landing on the moon.
After his assassination in 1963, his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, suggested to President Lyndon Johnson
that renaming the Cape Canaveral facility would be an appropriate memorial.
Johnson recommended the renaming of the entire cape, announced in a televised address six days after the assassination.
Accordingly, Cape Canaveral was officially renamed Cape Kennedy.
Although the name change was approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names of the Interior Department in 1964,
it was not popular in Florida, especially in the neighboring city of Cape Canaveral.
In 1973, the Florida Legislature passed a law restoring the former 400-year-old name, and the Board went along.
The name restoration to Cape Canaveral became official on October 9, 1973.
The Kennedy family issued a letter stating they "understood the decision".
NASA's Kennedy Space Center retains the "Kennedy" name.
I see a future on Earth with all of the heavy industry is off this planet, and in space.. Also I do see a brain drain off of this planet. The best and brightest go to the stars while the meek stay on the planet.
This is Pete Conrad's old company, right?
It's also known as the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It's SE of the Kennedy Space Center.
P.S. You can go back to your nap now. ;)
Being semi crppled myself, I see a means of getting many Americans off disability and working in low gravity.
Wages will be good..
Not if the Left has their way. They'd rather imprison everyone on Earth instead of letting them go stars. It's much more difficult keeping the people under their thumb if they are out and about exploring the universe.
Many thanks...
Many thanks...
Many more thanks........
If we can get to an asteroid for mining we could also use the asteroid to hop a ride to other parts of the solar system or even beyond and save lots of fuel getting there.
I'll bet I'm the first person to think of this!! ;)
The primary reason for the use of asteroids is to avoid the danger of cosmic rays. Why not develop a proper shield for out ships in space?
SpaceX launch delayed at least until May 7
Thanks ... I needed that info.
thanks for the update
That's not a bad idea actually. Put humans in a pure-oxygen fluid container, like Ed Harris' character in The Abyss, because I don't know what kind of pain someone like you would be in due to leaving gravity with that much G-force.
Considering the context, that's the understatement of the day. Due to the dangers of leaving and reentering atmosphere, not to mention the dangers while in orbit, I'd say admin assistants would probably be making high six figures.
I could deal with the pain of launch. I've got junk knees, ankles and hips but would be mostly OK in lower gravity like on the moon.
Now that I think about it, low gravity environments would be a great place for intensive physical therapy.
Al Gore's Intensive Physical Space Therapy
... because he invents everything, you know.
Some of the best surf in Fl is in and around those waters.....dammitall.
Can't one day of surfing be deferred for a history-making event?
I guess we have no choice....actually, the govt deferred decades of wave riding when they took that prime curvature of coast for polluting the atmosphere with every launch..../sarc!
I guess my tagline says it all, in order to get there, I have to launch, as it stands now.
Maybe you could work for SpaceX doing launch operations! That way you could get in a little surfing while launching. LOL!
What other planet in our solar system do you think has surfing available?
"What other planet in our solar system do you think has surfing available?"
None in ours, silly....Mars used to before they suffered a CME planet killer, I might like to surf Uranus!
(can't hep myseff)
If I want to start a live thread on the day of the launch how do I go about doing that? Do I post it to 'breaking news'?

If this is the knife (item number: 390436639859), you could ask the seller. He is a former Camillus employee.
I just lost a gorgeous knife on the auction site. It was Camillus New York. A barlow. listed as 3 3/4" inclosed, bakelite, with a sheepsfoot blade. The listing was for "utility knife", but I'm not sure that wopuld be the title to look under.
My questions:
--what name should I use to search for this?
--anyone know anything about this or have a picture?
--besides the usual sites, any other place I should be checking?
If this is the knife (item number: 390436639859), you could ask the seller. He is a former Camillus employee.
"What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean." Isaac Newton
I know this is an old thread but I just picked up a Camco 551 Barlow off the bay and needed a place to post a picture for all to see. The knife is in unused condition. Any idea of the age? Or should I look at Larry's site and find out for myself.
Camillus Barlow #50
Really nice, I like that.
Camillus made two sizes of the Barlow knife. The standard Barlow knife (#5541 pattern) measured 3 3/8" closed and was stamped with the model numbers #10 and #11 TipTop and #51. A CAMCO version was also offered as model #551. The Daddy Barlow
(#599 pattern) was 5" closed and was stamped model #9.
If you search "Camillus Barlow knife" on Ebay several knives are usually listed.
Camillus also made the standard Barlow knife for other customers including: Montgomery-Wards, Sears-Roebuck, Lipic, Western, Robeson, New Britian and KA-BAR.
Tom Williams
Camco Barlow #551
I have a Camillus Daddy Barlow. But, it doesn't have the 9 stamped on it. It's a very nice knife. But, I'm wondering why it wouldn't have the 9 stamped on it.
I got 2 Camco Barlows one it nice tight and the other got a weak spring on the big blade.
I d like to find a tip.top.with bone handles.
I didn't know Camillus made Barlows for Robeson! Does anyone have one? Maybe a picture?
To find my SFOs and the dealers who carry them, check my developing website at:

Inexpensive but everything a barlow should be. CAMCO 551
Yep those CAMCO Barlow s are nice.

Using the Nikon D7100
The D7100 is a well-designed and robust camera that brings to the table everything you'd expect to see in an enthusiast DSLR, whether APS-C or full frame. It's a very satisfying camera to hold and to shoot with. Picking up the camera for the first time, you're struck by a quality feel and construction that differs from the full frame D600 only in terms of a slightly shorter hand grip. Buttons and controls are well-placed for easy operation, and the few quibbles we do have - and will discuss below - will simply be of little concern to photographers outside of those using the D7100 as a second body alongside either the D7000 or D300s. In fact, with the D7100, Nikon has to a large degree now standardized the control layout and operability of all three of its enthusiast-grade DSLRs, a consistency which makes a great deal of sense.
According to Nikon, the D7100 features dust and moisture-resistance equivalent to the D600 and D800. While it's not a fully weather-sealed camera like the Pentax K 5IIs, the D7100 has performed without a hitch in the rainy climate of our Seattle location.
Overall handling and notable features
In your hand
The D7100 feels like an ever-so-slightly slimmed-down D600, a camera whose handling we quite enjoyed during the course of our in-depth review. The D7100's body shell is predominantly magnesium alloy, and thick rubber coats the hand grip. Buttons and switches are well-spaced and large enough for trouble-free operation even with thin gloves. As with all high-end Nikon DSLRs, the D7100 has two rubberized control dials, one on the front above the hand-grip and one on the rear, for operation with the right thumb.
Despite the camera's relatively modest weight - though physically larger than the Pentax K5 IIs, it's a lighter camera - it balances rather well with Nikon's top prime lenses as well as high-end zooms like the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR. Those with even medium to large hands may find that the height of the hand grip falls just shy of comfortably accommodating all three fingers, as you can tell by the protruding digit in the image below, but this is hardly unique among APS-C DSLRs.
'i' Button
While the camera has no shortage of external buttons for adjusting shooting settings between exposures, it's always nice to be able to change camera and image quality settings without a distracting trip to the main menu. In this regard the D7100 introduces a new 'i' button along the bottom of the camera back that makes it a bit easier to access at least a selection of these settings. This behaves like the quick menu buttons on other makers' cameras. With one press, the information display appears on the rear LCD and the two rows of camera settings are activated for navigation. On the D600 and D800, this access required pressing the info button twice, a requirement unlikely to occur to users who missed that page of the camera manual.
Things get even better in live view mode, as pressing the 'i' button here brings direct on-screen access to seven useful options including image size and quality, remote timer settings and monitor brightness. Set the camera to playback mode and the 'i' button calls up the Retouch menu, eliminating the need for the dedicated - and we'd suspect seldom used - retouch button found on the D600.
A new 'i' button gives easier access to onscreen controls for commonly used functions. For normal viewfinder shooting it directly enters Nikon's familiar active control panel to change settings. |
Spot white balance
The D7100 debuts Nikon's new 'spot white balance' feature, which allows you to set white balance while in live view mode, by simply selecting a small area of the scene from which to take the reading. This is a very welcome contrast to the previous requirement of filling the entire frame with the object to be made neutral, which in studio-lit tabletop photography could often mean removing the camera from the tripod if you'd neglected to set the custom white balance before-hand.
A new spot white balance option in live view presents you with a small area (the yellow square) from which to set a custom white balance, insead of having to fill the entire frame with a target as on previous Nikon DSLRs. |
To use spot white balance, set the camera to live view mode, press the WB button and use the front and rear dials to select the appropriate custom WB preset number. Press and hold the WB button a second time to call up on-screen a small white balance square which you can move around the scene via the multi selector. Once in place over your intended target, press the OK button to set the white balance. The process still retains much of the complexity any Nikon owner will be familiar with, but there's no denying that this is a more user-friendly approach than the standard Nikon method of selecting manual WB, choosing a preset, then pressing and holding the WB button and taking a test shot. In conventional (non live-view) shooting with the D7100, this method is unchanged.
Auto ISO
The D7100 inherits the same improved set of auto ISO sensitivity parameters we described in great detail in our D800 review. With Auto ISO enabled in the shooting menu or via the front dial, the camera will select a sensitivity between the current user-selected ISO and the maximum Auto ISO setting you have configured in the shooting menu. So setting ISO 100 and configuring the maximum Auto ISO to 6400, for example, will allow the camera to choose an ISO sensitivity anywhere within that range.
Set your camera's ISO to values much above ISO 100 though and you may get unintended results. That's because the standard 'ISO sensitivty' value you have chosen for non-Auto ISO mode will override any maximum Auto ISO setting you make. Here's an extreme example. If you set ISO 3200 in the ISO sensitivity menu option, but enable Auto ISO and set its 'Maximum sensitivity' to only 800, the camera will make every effort to meter and shoot at ISO 3200, setting a lower value only when choosing ISO 3200 would require a shutter speed that exceeds the camera's maximum of 1/8000. So if you'll be toggling Auto ISO on and off on a regular basis, it's always worth checking to make sure that you've got a low ISO value set when enabling it again. Curiously, this is the exact opposite of the behavior we saw in the D600, which under those same circumstances honors the (in this case) more appropriate Auto ISO maximum.
In addition to specifying a fixed, minimum shutter speed to ensure sharp pictures, you also have an Auto option for minimum shutter speed. In this mode - provided you are using a modern 'CPU' lens which transmits data to the camera - the D7100 automatically sets a minimum shutter speed value based on the focal length of the attached lens. This comes in particularly handy when shooting with zoom lenses.
In the ISO sensitivity menus you can specify the range of ISO values from which the camera can select. With the minimum shutter speed set to 'Auto' the camera will use the focal length of the currently mounted lens to determine a hand-holdable shutter speed. An 'Auto' sub-menu (highlighted here in yellow) allows you to bias the camera towards choosing slower or faster shutter speeds for any given focal length. |
You can even fine-tune this automatic shutter speed selection. There is an adjustment slider in the sub-menu for 'Auto minimum shutter speed' that ranges from 'slower' to 'faster' in 5 steps. This lets you bias the camera towards higher shutter speeds of approximately 2x and 4x the current focal length, or to lower shutter speed values of roughly 0.5x and 0.25x the current focal length. This former is useful for freezing action with high shutter speeds (or simply minimizing any chance of camera shake with non-VR lenses), the latter for taking maximum advantage of image stabilization to keep ISOs as low as possible.
MB-D15 Battery Grip and external connectors
Photographers looking to add bulk for better balance with expensive, heavy zooms like the AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens, more comfortable portrait orientation shooting, or simply increased battery performance can opt for the MB-D15 grip. The grip allows you to add a second Li-ion battery or in a pinch, power the camera via AA batteries. Note that there is no speed boost when using the grip, with any battery combination. It is purely intended to aid handling.
In terms of accessory compatibility, the D7100 also offers an array of connectors seen on previous Nikon DSLRs such as HDMI and USB/AV outs, a stereo microphone input for movie recording, and a multi-function port that accepts both Nikon's optional GP-1 GPS unit, and the MC-DC2 electronic cable release. The camera also has also front and rear receivers for the ML-L3 wireless remote. One upgrade over the D7000 is a headphone socket for monitoring sound during movie recording.
Specific handling issues
That the D7100 manages the neat task of being immediately familiar in handling and operation both to D7000 owners making an upgrade and D600/D800 users looking for a more affordable backup camera, speaks well of Nikon's sensible design approach. The D7100 maintains most, if not all, of what we liked about the D7000 yet inherits elements common to both its full frame siblings, like the top-mounted movie record button and integrate stills/video live mode button/switch combination. The introduction of spot white balance, a quick menu-like 'i' button and brighter rear RGBW LCD all make positive contributions to the handling of the camera both in the field and in the studio.
The vertical placement of the zoom in and zoom out buttons have been swapped on the D7100 compared to its predecessor, the D7000. This will certainly involve a bit of unlearning for those making the upgrade, but outside of anyone who plans to use both cameras, this is an adjustment that can be quickly made. And D800 owners interested in a smaller APS-C second body, will find these buttons exactly where they'd find them on their main camera.
Our biggest gripe about the D7100 from an operational standpoint will be familiar to readers of our D600 review. Changes made to aperture settings while live view is engaged are not are not previewed on-screen. This can easily lead to focusing errors which is doubly frustrating since working in live view mode offers the most accurate way of manually focusing a camera. You can read about this issue in more depth on the live view page of this review.

Topic: installation iredadmin
