Steve Carlton
On this date in 1982, Steve Carlton becomes the first player to win four Cy Young Awards.
"It (not talking to the media from 1974 through the end of his career) was perfect for me at the time. I was tired of getting slammed. To me, it was a slap in the face. But it made me concentrate better. And the irony is that they wrote better stuff without access to my quotes."

After its clinching celebration was put on hold by an uncharacteristically subpar effort, Southwest claimed the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference title Monday with an emphatic sweep of a doubleheader over Lejeune.
After its clinching celebration was put on hold by an uncharacteristically subpar effort, Southwest claimed the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference title Monday with an emphatic sweep of a doubleheader over Lejeune.
The Stallions beat the Devilpups 13-0 in the opener and followed that with a 12-2 victory in the second game at Onslow Pines Park, where the games were moved because recent rains have left Southwest�s field unplayable.
Both games ended after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.
Southwest could have clinched the title Friday but lost 6-1 to Pamlico.
With the doubleheader sweep, the Stallions wind up the regular season 17-3 and 9-1 in the CPC under first-year coach Tiffany Murphy.
�It feels good,� Murphy said. �But at the same part I walked into some talent, too. We didn�t create all of this overnight. I did walk into some talent at the same time.�
The playoff pairings will be announced later this week, although Murphy said it looked like Southwest would play host to North Duplin on Friday at a time to be determined. Asked if she liked how her team was playing heading into the playoffs, she replied:
�I think we�ve got some work the next three days.�

Dixon 4, Richlands 2: Dixon not only evened its record in its regular-season finale, the Bulldogs gained some confidence entering the state playoffs following a nonconference win over Richlands.
Kiersten Collett went 3-for-3 with an RBI to lead the Bulldogs past the Wildcats in a tune-up for the NCHSAA 1-A playoffs, which will start Friday.
�I do feel really confident,� Dixon coach Dawn Buchanan said. �We hit the ball really well tonight and we got ourselves out of a couple of jams.�
Shi Warren went 2-for-2 with two RBIs for the Bulldogs, who had already finished second in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference at 7-3. Alexis Whaley earned her sixth win after she scattered seven hits in seven innings, allowed one earned runs and struck out three.
Kylee Tucker and Mariah McCahan each went 2-for-4 for the Wildcats, who conclude their regular season tonight against Swansboro in an East Central 2-A Conference game.
Richlands is 7-6 in the ECC.

Help I done a silly thing
I was doing some transfers of pictures onto fabric with the iron and had a thick towel under, but my cutting board was under the towel. Now I have a section on the edge of the cutting board right in the middle of the edge that is I guess you call it warped with the heat. Is there anyway that I can reverse this or have I stuffed it up completely . I can still use the board but I have to be careful if I am cutting bigger pieces of fabric. Any suggestions please, besides telling my I am a silly girl.*

New ipod touch announced. looks EXACTLY like an iphone 4 with a zapped phone chip!
According to a Mexican telco exec, Apple will release an iPhone 4 with an upgrade to its problematic antenna after its "free case" giveaway ends on September 30. "A partir del 30 de septiembre estarán disponibles ... los nuevos dispositivos que no tienen el desperfecto de la recepción," Marco Quatorze of Mexican wireless …
New ipod touch announced. looks EXACTLY like an iphone 4 with a zapped phone chip!
I guess Jobs wanted to confuse iPhans about the Lemon 4 by claiming all was well, whilst giving away FREE plastic covers to keep hands away from the goods AS WELL as providing a ready identifier for Lemon 4 models.
So what, following Job's bent logic, is there to fix? Did he lie/mislead his legions of iPhans?
Now the antenna 'problem' has been fixed, what about the other numerous defects including the Bluetooth?
Did you hear about the heart-beat App that enables Jobs to determine which rates higher for an iPhan based, on heart rate: holding a Lemon or sex?
(Don't forget, iPhans, another Jobs pronouncement today)
On 30th September, Jobs will reveal Apple's new product: 31st September, iDay, the first e-day, a day only available to Apple users. This will be the annual launch day for the Pro versions of Apple kit, or as non-believers call them, the fixed ones.
If you don't have piles of spare cash to flush down the lavvy on overpriced fripperies, don't worry. In a few years time, Microsoft will roll out version 3 of December 32nd. Version 1 will have crashed beyond all recovery at about 11am and version 2 will only be available in brown and puce. But, with version 3, the rest of us will be able to join in.*
*Service patches will be released every 2 hours. For reasons of national security and to protect children, nuns and small furry animals, everything you do on an e-day will be monitored by the government. You may enjoy your e-day to an 'unlimited' extent, which is to say that the limits placed on your enjoyment are available from your e-day vendor, if you can get through to customer service (calls cost £2 per min, average wait, 3hrs, but then it is 4am in Delhi). Enjoyment beyond the limits of fair use will result in castration. You do not own your e-day, despite paying for it, and may not have a birthday upon it. 32nd December will be available for only 4 years, after which time it will be replaced by another day of Microsoft's choosing, with a ridiculous toolbar that ruins breakfast. Continued use of an obsolete e-day will lead to prosecution on copyright grounds. E-days will not be available in some rural areas, although you might get an e-hour if you are lucky. They will however, be available in Birmingham, as the government will abolish whatever scant public services still remain to fund a direct, super-fast, hard-wired e-day provision link for that city. No we don't know why either. Maybe they have a granny who lives there.
You, Sir, owe me a new keyboard. Just what I needed to get me through Wednesday.
Best strapline I can remember for a really, really long time :)
Just saying.
No, it's totally true, I saw it confirmed on The Register.
It does say on the Case Program that "Any iPhone 4 that has been returned is not eligible." I would bet that means they are fixing the returned ones.
sorry but im never getten any of apples products ever to exspensive
I assume that English in not your native tongue, if it is ,no thanks I just want a burger not a full meal. To you point about the price of Apple hardware fair comment.
No need for that sort of insult, if you don't mind - if you've got a problem with another poster then try not to resort to low blows. Ta.

Rev. Billy Graham
WASHINGTON - The evangelist who's been called "America's pastor" has received birthday tributes in Congress.
The Rev. Billy Graham turns 95 today, with hundreds attending a birthday party in his honor in Asheville, N.C.
On the Senate floor, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell praised Graham, who he called a "good and humble servant, for his decades of ministry and his tireless preaching of the gospel."
Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said Billy Graham has had an "important impact" on his life and the lives of millions around the world.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he's never met Graham but appreciates the legendary preacher's integrity.
A new video of Billy Graham from his home is being broadcast as part of a nationwide religious outreach called "My Hope."

Anaheim Morning Report
The wait is finally over. Race day coverage of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, starts right now, and you couldn't ask for a better day to kick the season off. The sun is shining, there is no threat of rain and temperatures are expected to hover in the mid-60s all afternoon. Even better, everyone has somehow miraculously made it through the off-season without sustaining major injuries, ensuring that the races tonight will be absolutely jammed with talent.
(Stop with the jinx talk, people).
The track is a big improvement over Anaheim 1 the last season. There are no weird long sections that guarantee to create extended periods of single file racing, which immediately became an issue last year at A1. Also gone is the weirdo carousel turn, the "340 degree corner" from last year. It's way better. But, as usual for the opener, the track isn't terribly technical by pro standards, which reduces the chances of anyone getting injured right off the bat. AMA Race Director John Gallagher says that the overall design at A1, and the rest of the year, is meant to improve safety by building and placing obstacles in such a way that top speeds are lowered, relative to previous years.
There are two whoop sections, and although the whoops themselves are fairly large, the sections are short, each consisting of seven or eight whoops. Everyone says the whoops are quite easy. The second set of whoops is preceded by a massive berm that stands easily ten feet tall, and as the whoops wear down we may see some of the top riders start going high on the berm and jumping nearly the entire set. The most treacherous sections of the track may end up being the sand sections. There are two of them, and the sand is soft and deep. Both have jumps leading into them, although most riders will likely opt to roll the single in the second section.
Untimed practice is now under way, so be sure to keep it locked here on Racer X Online and follow us on Twitter for updates on the action from the season opener in Anaheim.

SAN MARCOS – A 22-year-old man has admitted stealing the identities and passwords of more than 700 fellow students at his San Diego-area university in order to rig campus elections.
The North County Times reported former Cal State San Marcos student Matthew Weaver of Huntington Beach pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to wire fraud, access device fraud and unauthorized use of a computer. He could get between 27 and 33 months in prison when he's sentenced June 17.
In March 2012, Weaver was one of two candidates to be the university's student council president. Court documents say Weaver used a small electronic device that records a computer user's keystrokes to steal 745 student passwords.
He admitted to casting about 480 votes for himself and friends also on the ballot.

Television once again gets painted as the bad guy in a new study, and this time sperm are the victims.
The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, showed that men who watched more than 20 hours of TV a week had 44 percent less sperm than those who watched very little TV. On the flip side, men who engaged in at least 15 hours of moderate to vigorous physical exercise each week had 73 percent more sperm than men who exercised at the lowest level reported – less than five hours a week.
Previous research has indicated a link between low sperm count and a sedentary lifestyle. "Semen quality seems to have deteriorated over the past few decades, although it's not clear why," the journal says in a statement.
The study analyzed the "semen quality" of 189 men ages 18 to 22 in the Rochester, N.Y., area.
Interestingly, higher-intensity workouts seemed to move the needle on sperm count but lighter exercise sessions had no effect, no matter how frequent.
The study's authors noted that a lower sperm count doesn't necessarily reduce a man's chances of fathering a child.
Exercise and dementia
Being physically fit at midlife makes you less likely to develop dementia later, according to a study in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
The authors noted that previous research had found an association between physical health and the likelihood of developing the progressive loss of memory and thinking that comes with dementia. But it's a chicken-and-egg argument: Does being in poor health lead to dementia, or do people with the illness simply exercise less and eat bad foods?
The study looked at 19,458 healthy people, all of whom had visited the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, beginning in 1971. Patients who had taken part in a treadmill test were divided into the most and least fit, depending on how long they ran on the treadmill. The subjects were then tracked for decades, past the age of 65, to see which ones developed dementia.
"The most-fit study participants were much less likely to develop dementia than those who were the least fit," the study said.
No. 1 in facelifts
More cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States than any other country in 2011, and it wasn't even close.
Take that, rest of world!
But there's a catch: When you adjust for population, the United States is fourth: South Koreans had more work done than any other nation, accounting for more than 13 procedures per 1,000 people, according to The Economist. Greece was next (more than 12 per 1,000), followed by Italy (just under 12) and then us needle-happy Americans (just shy of 10).
This is all according to a new study by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. It estimated that more than 14.7 million procedures – lifts, tucks, peels, injections, laser resurfacing and everything else – were done around the world in 2011.

Parton: I worked to get to the top
Dolly Parton has said she has worked hard to get to the top - and not had to sleep with anyone to get there.
The blonde country singer told how she rejected the advances of men who promised her a step-up the career ladder as she worked her way up to becoming a star.
"I did meet a lot of sleazy guys," she told the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine, adding: "But I never slept with anyone to get where I wanted to go."
"I had grown up with brothers and uncles so I understood the nature of men, and if they got out of line I would make it light-hearted and turn it into a joke."
The star, who is godmother to pop star Miley Cyrus, has been married to Carl Dean since 1966.
"Carl sees me today the way he first saw me. I'm not a star to him, and it has never dawned on me that I'm a star - I'm just a working girl," she said.
"I don't have maids or servants and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there."

As I mentioned in a previous post, hair accessories are quite big this season. Large eccentric bows were part of many spring 2010 collections including; Marc Jacobs, Milly, Jason Wu, and Cynthia Steffe. The looks were over the top, but when worn on the streets we want to tone it down just a little. Using a satin ribbon a little elastic and some glue I created my own version. This project is easy and quick but the out come is chic.
- 1 yard 70Mm Midori Double Face Satin RibbonStyle: 37309
- 4 inches of elastic
- Bottle of Magna-Tac 8 Oz.Style: 26155
- Determine how large you'd like your bow to be. I created a bow approximately 10" across.
- I folded the ribbon in half and measured down from the center 10" and then glued, so that I was left with a 10" loop.
- I then glued the area I just closed to the center so that I was now left with 2 5" loops.
- You can cut a 3" piece off the end of your ribbon, fold and glue so that this piece is now 2" by 1".
- Wrap this smaller piece around the center of the 2 loops.
- Secure with glue in the back
- Take a measurement around your head. Cut the loose ends of the ribbon down so that they are 2" smaller than your head measurement.
- Fold unfinished ends under about ½" and secure with glue
- Glue elastic to the center of the loose ribbon ends, then fold the ribbon around and secure with glue.
- Wear and enjoy.

Cheyney University Hosts Youth Day January 11th
January 4, 2013
Cheyney University is hosting a Youth Day on Friday, January 11 as part of the annual PSAC "Take a Kid to a Game Day" from 10 am to 4 pm on the historic campus.
The program is free for children in elementary and middle school and their families. The purpose is to involve the community in campus events.
"We are expecting over 300 students from area schools including Global Leadership Charter School, Parkway Center City High School, Thurgood Marshall School, Motivational High School, and RTC Cream Family School. We have planned the campus tour and fun activities to inspire these young students to include a college education in their future plans," says CU Athletic Director Ruffin Bell.
After checking in at the Cope Hall Gymnasium, guests will receive a tour of the new residence hall, aquaponics facility, athletic center, and historic quadrangle. They'll also get a chance to Meet the Mascot and have their picture taken with the wolf, meet Cheyney University's basketball players, enjoy both the women's and men's basketball games against Gannon University, and get some CU giveaways. Children can bring their lunch or purchase pizza, chips and soda for $5.
"I think it's a great opportunity for area kids to see the Cheyney campus, get a tour of the school, get a feel for what it's like at Cheyney University, and enjoy an athletic event at the same time," Bell explains. "It gives our athletes a chance to project themselves as role models. I'm sure some kids will have questions on what it takes to play collegiately." Bell expects the athletes to talk to the kids about academics, too. Many of CU's athletes are honor students.
The double-header games are free for everyone—young and old. The women's game tips off at 1 pm, followed by the men at 3 pm.

No Blue Law days/hours restrictions beyond no alcohol after midnight (if you need to make a beer or booze run after midnight, I impugn your planning skills) and stores are reasonably well-distributed both in geography and products. Groceries/C-stores/anyone else can sell beer & wine up to 16%; anything beyond that has to be purchased in a liquor store.
Given the prevalence of shift work (and flex time), hour restrictions have always seemed rather silly to me.

Item # 054D3200K | MFR # 25492
This item is no longer available.
It's here. And it's been waiting to show you a few things. It's the 24.2-megapixel Nikon D3200, a sophisticated high-concept camera that's taking the idea of "entry-level" and turning it on its ear. From the moment you first feel it in your hands, compact yet responsive, you know the Nikon engineers have been at work, perfecting the shooting experience.
The D3200 was built to be someone's first DSLR. Maybe yours. It certainly welcomes you to the fold of serious photographers, with an intelligent, context-sensitive guide mode that, quite simply, teaches you the fine points of using the camera while you shoot. It's like you bought a fine camera and a master class in the bargain.
But this is no dumbed-down, middle-of-the-road feature set you're dealing with. The DX-sized, 24.2-megapixel sensor, in combination with the EXPEED 3 image processor, serves to give you crisp, detailed shots that are suffused with accurate, artifact-free color, even in low light. Push your shots to high sensitivities without fear of noise and grain dominating the picture. Support your efforts in subdued light with the intelligent on-board flash. Someone's been thinking this through.
This camera comes with an extremely capable, vibration-reduction 18-55mm zoom lens, that will take you all the way from nicely wide for your shot of a cliffside-by-the-sea Irish castle, to the close-up look of awe on your daughter's face as she watches the sun dip below the Atlantic Ocean's crescent. Renowned Nikon optical craftsmanship ensures that your images are crisp and free from color fringing.
You're more than set for applause-worthy HD video. This camera will give you resolutions of up to 1080p at 30 frames per second, and with that high-density sensor doing the capturing, those pictures will be sharp and clear. There's an external stereo microphone input so you can make your audio sound as good as your video looks with a variety of optional mics. One button touch will start your video rolling.
With an optional WU-1a wireless adapter, the 'D3200 becomes network-capable, and it can link images to smartphones and tablets. Or use your smartphone to remotely capture images with your 'D3200. Apps for both iOS® and Android™ devices are anticipated in 2012.
For some solid lessons on how to best use the Nikon D3200, check out the Nikon Digitutor D3200 tutorial.
very happy with it.
ED, New Mexico
Average Customer Review(s):
very happy with it.
Pros: easy to set up and use.
Got this Gem for Christmas. Not even close to my CANON 40D. I wanted a camera that I could take movie clips with. Well it does that somewhat only problem is it will not auto focus all the time (most of the time) in any mode a hit and miss thing. After talking with NIKON service center in New York Long Island for an hour and trying 3 different AF-S G LENES and all different settings no luck. They said send it back to them for repair. Wife got this here in Virginia at a well known store, they were no help. Still waiting for an answer from NIKON.
Pros: Price, lite, easy to use
Cons: Auto focus will not work all the time. In for repair at NIKON in New York after 2 weeks
Nice camera
Easy to use got it before Christmas
Great camera, awesome pics and very easy to use
Sadly this camera was really good for everything except what I needed it for. I bought it specifically for night photography and painting with light. I spent over $100 on the wireless remote and extra battery so I could have my extended photo shoots outside of the city. Here is where it fails, miserably. When taking a night photo with the shutter open for any amount of time over 30 seconds it will take the camera 3-5 minutes to process the photo. This is just not right. My Canon Rebel T3i would take 1-2 seconds and then you could preview and take another photo. I contacted Crutchfield Tech Support and they said all cameras are different and this may be normal for this model. I searched high and low on the internet and found nothing in regards to my problem. So that left me with 2 malfunctioning cameras in less than 4 months from Crutchfield. I don't feel it was Crutchfield's problem, as the cameras were unopened and new. Bad luck I guess.
Pros: Shoots good photos in Auto mode. Crutchfield Support Team always stands behind there products.
Cons: Takes 3-5 minutes for the camera to process a night time image. I'm out $100 per lens filters, extra Nikon battery, camera bag, wireless remote, etc. for a camera that I have no choice but to send back.
great camera from great store(Crutchfield). very fair price. super clear images.very happy with camera and Crutchfield
Pros: picture quality,ease of use
Cons: none
I had talked with a lot of people and read a massive amount of reviews before purchasing this kit. So far it has lived up to all that was said. Love the options and ease of use. I switched over from my old SLR to this for the overall options and ease of use. We have taken ALOT of pictures and so far they have been nothing but great. The VR lens is a must.
Pros: Ease of use and great out of the box.
Cons: I would like to see at least 1 lens filter included in the kit, or at least a small memory card.
thank you crutchfield my nikon takes great pictures
Pros: its easy to work takes great pictures
Cons: i have nothing bad to say
Had it for a few weeks now. So far seems like a great camera. The "auto" mode makes it easy to move from a point and shoot to an SLR. Quality of the pics is great. Did a fair amount of research prior to purchase and got everything I wanted (and will likely want for some time) in a nice package for a nice price. As usual Crutchfield was awesome and the best place to buy electronics. Would buy again.
Pros: Easy to use. Good looking. Nice value. Great pics.
A really powerful camera, with all of the functionality that almost anyone could reasonably expect to need in a DSLR. Easy to use, very intuitive controls, solidly built - I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting to make the jump from Point & Shoot cameras to another level of picture taking.
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, picture taking menus to satisfy every level of photographer. Picture quality is super, camera is lightning fast, with almost no shutter lag.
Cons: Not a thing.
I bought the Nikon D3200 as my first DSLR and love it. I'm still learning about the features but so far it's amazing. The optional WiFi adaptor works great, was easy to set up and quickly loads photos to my Android Smartphone. Haven't tried the WiFi remote feature on it yet. I called Crutchfield for help with the set up of the focus feature, which was bit of a challenge, but doing it in brighter light solved the problem. The tech support was excellent; he walked me through the process. Photos of a hummingbird, stopped in action, are beyond words. I love it! I look forward to trying the video and other features. What a great camera for the price. I chose the Nikor 70-300mm lens for more zoom and it works great as companion to the 18-55mm that comes with the package. I highly recommend this camera.
Pros: Great tech support. Easy to focus. Excellent picture quality. WiFi capability. Great Price.
Cons: Don't know of any.
Previous cameras have been Canons but preferred the Nikon when shopping around this time. Thought I would be using the manual settings more but found the options in the auto settings have worked well to provide the effects I am looking for. I photograph a lot of wildlife. Nice size & weight.
Pros: Great quality for an affordable price
Cons: Haven't really discovered any yet.
I started in photography a very long time ago, 110 film, Polaroid, 35mm manual, Chinnon 35mm auto,Nikon 35mm SLR, D60 Nikon,Now the Nikno D3200, What an advance. You have to try to take a bad picture. This camera is really a dream. Yes I could have purchased a more expensive one but could not justify the benefits for the price difference. Ie D3300, D5200, D5300 or better body. I have taken a lot of pictures with it learning how it works. I am impressed with the quality of the photos.
Pros: Can't be beat for the price.
Cons: Will not auto focus the older style lenses. They work but you must focus them.
Picked this camera up for less than $500. Amazing picture quality and features for this price!!
Pros: High megapixel count. Easy to use
Cons: Its red
This is a great camera more beginners and intermediate photographer. At first it was a little difficult to work through the settings but the more I use it the easier it gets. Image quality is really good, shutter speed has a slight lag but that is something I need to get used to. I am used to my point and shoot. I had a lot of fun getting used to this camera over a long vacation. It's perfect for travel.
Pros: Small and light DSLR, takes great pictures, many features available.
I have wanted a DSLR for some time. Have been using a point and shoot since selling my 35mm film camera years ago. While I plan to take some classes to better understand the nuances of the camera and expand my "beginner" skills, I have found the camera and its booklet very helpful. The camera is light, easy to use and takes crisp, quality pics.
Pros: Everything I said above - It's a Nikon - which speaks for itself.
Cons: None that I can think of.....
Excellent camera for the price. Great for beginner/intermediate photographers.
Pros: Great features
Cons: None
So far, this has been the absolute BEST SLR camera to use! It is very user-friendly and easy to manipulate. The control settings are easy to navigate and the picture quality is optimal in every aspect. This camera also offers a 3D setting along with an increased number of selective focus fields for a more accurate photo. The color is outstanding and very stylish. All-around, this is a fabulous piece of equipment and a great addition to any photographer's collection!
Cons: There are no cons. This is a fantastic piece of equipment. A great investment, indeed!
The Nikon D3200 camera was purchased a christmas gift for the whole family to use. Being said, teenagers and adults will be using this. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the camera controls and the display fuctions. Camera setting can be set and adjusted in just about any configuration you can come up with. If adustments arent for you, the unit supports several preset creative settings that can make anybody take very professsional looking pictures. It is money well spent and a good value when you buy a camera and your family is "waiting their turn" to use and explore all the fun ideas and setting this camera has to offer. Hats off to Nikon on development and marketing a camera for such a wide group, new to photography and experts users as well. The new catch phrase I hear so much of now, " hey, look how good my pictures came out "!
Pros: ease of use, light and travels well. endless upgrades.
Cons: none
Love my camera so much I purchase 2 more as gifts!
I bought this camera after doing extensive research and had narrowed things down to the D3200 and the Canon Rebel T3i. I think that both cameras are great but the D3200 was a better value. My prior photography experience consisted of iPhones disposable 35mm cameras but the Nikon D3200 had me immediately taking professional photos. With 24 Megapixels, I was able to crop and zoom my bad photos into good ones. I would recommend buying vibration resistant (VR) lenses only for blur-free photos.
Pros: - 24 MP images allow for editing bad photos into good ones. - East of use - Beautiful photos, even without a flash in low-light settings.
Cons: Bulkier than a compact digital camera.
just use it! let see
This camera is easy to use and looks great. The sleek design makes it easier to use than film SLR's. It will never completely take the place of my F2.
Pros: Design and easy of use.
Cons: Too many features and options. There can be too much of a good thing.
just started using -so far great
Pros: easy to use with beautiful picture quality
Cons: red color
This camera is easy to use and it shipped very fast. the packing was great. Overall very pleased with product
Pros: Ease of use, very cool, and it came very fast
Cons: none
Excellent camera! Low end model camera that produces high end pictures. Great for beginners and experienced photographers as well. Would highly recommend this camera for anyone! Also comes at a great price.
The picture quality is absolutely incredible especially when you consider that it is a "lower end" SLR!
Since I am an Amateur/Hobbyist I didn't need a Pro quality Camera. That said, this a real easy camera to use and and to set up to take great pictures. The pictures if set up right and use correct lens You can take pIctures even Pros would be hard pressed to do better.
Pros: Easy set up controls through menus
Cons: I have one quible but someone with better eye sight might no have an issue. The cross-hairs for the focus point are so light and fine I have difficulty seeing them. They were much darker on a D3000 I previously had. two other minor issues again people with better eyesight might not have issue with. The diopter adjustment is harder to set. than on the 3000 and the diopter correction lens fro Nikon doesn't have an eye cup attached.
Great camera!!! Anxious to get a great lens to go with it... there will be no stopping me!!!
Pros: Most features are self explanatory, and still learning more.
Cons: Haven't found any yet...
As a former film SLR devotee, I've found that the Nikon D3200 has exceeded my expectations in all respects. It is my first DSLR having used smaller digital point and shoot cameras. The D3200 can do it all and do it well. Exposures are right on, autofocus is accurate and color reproduction is great.
Pros: Accurate and fast autofocus. Great color reproduction. Right on exposures. Ability to choose from various exposure modes from auto to complete manual.
Cons: None detected.
WOW! What a great camera and picture quality. Easy to get started and use with basic functions. Looks like all the features are there for advanced photography.
Pros: Fantastic picture quality and low light, crisp results
Cons: Manual font too small and hard to read. Somewhat difficult to follow.
Excellent item. As a gift it was really appreciated
This is my first DSL camera and I really love the fact that even for a beginner, it's so easy to use. The picture quality is excellent and far surpasses anything I've owned before. Also love the red case because it stands out and doesn't look like every other camera. Excellent purchase!
Pros: Ease of use and quality of photos
Cons: None
GREAT camera...all the bells & whistles.
Pros: Easy to take pictures...
Cons: Takes time to learn about all the features...
I've had a point and shoot Nikon. This definitely takes it up in class and features. I now need to read and learn to use all of its features. It doesn't cost anymore for Color! The RED is definitely a "Coolness Factor"!! It catches peoples eye!
Pros: Easy to use features.
I've been a photography enthusiast for the past 22 years. My first camera, a hand-me-down from my father, was a fully manual 35mm SLR. I've been shooting digitally exclusively now for the past 12 years, however, this Nikon D3200 is my first digital SLR and I have owned it now for six weeks. I would recommend this camera to three main categories of users: (1) Photography enthusiasts who want more resolution, more settings, and more versatility (choosing different lenses, filters, and flashes, etc.) than a point-and-shoot, (2) Semi-pro photographers - while it is considered an entry-level DSLR, this camera, with the right accessories such as a bigger telephoto lens and a quality speedlight flash, has high enough resolution and the ability to make some or most of your setting manually that it is good enough to be used by a semi-professional photographer, and (3) I read a bunch of professional photographer forums before I bought this camera. It turns out that a good number of full-fledged pros are carrying the D3200 in their bags as a backup camera due to its 24 MP resolution and very reasonable price. Pros need to have a quality backup in case their main camera malfunctions. Also, this camera can shoot video at full 1080p resolution at either 24 fps (for a cinematic look) or at 30 fps (for a video camera look).
Pros: Great resolution, equally great price.
Cons: None so far.
Excellent camera for the value. Very easy to use and high quality images.
Pros: Great Camera
Cons: None Thus Far
I love this camera! I was lucky enough to get it while it was still in stock.. I think they had one left. Its very easy to use and has much more advanced features so anyone with any skill level can pick this camera up and use it. The picture quality is stunning. I usually shoot in RAW format and touch it up in Photoshop, but there isnt a new RAW convertor out for this camera yet so I shoot in high JPG. Still fabulous! It lets me use some of my older lens, but you have to read which ones will work with.
Pros: All good!
Cons: The RAW convertor would be great when they come out with it, but thats not Nikon's fault!

Overview: The Nikon D3200 18-55mm VR Kit includes the Nikon D3200 digital SLR camera body and the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm, f/3.5-5.6G VR Image Stabilization Zoom Lens. The kit also includes a EN-EL14 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and a battery charger.
LCD Monitor: The Nikon D3200 has a 3" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 921,000 dots and adjustable brightness (-3 to +3). The large 3-inch LCD monitor has large fonts with easy-to-view menus. The monitor can display shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of exposures remaining as well as the settings currently applied. You can choose from a classic information display or a graphic display.
Live View: The camera features Live View, which allows you to frame your photographs in the monitor instead of the viewfinder. When the Live View switch is rotated, the mirror is raised and the view through the lens will be displayed in the monitor. The subject will no longer be visible in the viewfinder. The Live View display will show up to 12 items, including shooting, focus, and AF-area modes, along with other status indicators. You can opt to hide many of the indicators, or overlay a framing grid in the monitor.
Optical Viewfinder: The D3200 uses a fixed eye-level penta-mirror single-lens reflex viewfinder with a built-in diopter adjustment to set the viewfinder to your personal eyesight (with or without glasses). The viewfinder's coverage area is approximately 95% horizontal and vertical. During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece.
Image Sensor: The D3200 features a 23.2mm x 15.4mm DX-format CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 24.7 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 24.2 million.
EXPEED 3: For fast operation and creative in-camera effects, the D3200 is equipped with the EXPEED 3 image processor. This is the same processor used in Nikon's flagship D4 DSLR.
Dust Reduction System: The image sensor is equipped with a low-pass filter to remove dust or dirt on the sensor. You can set the camera to clean the image sensor automatically at startup, or at shut down, or both. It can also be set to turn the auto cleaning function off.
Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards up to 2 GB in size, SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB, and SDXC cards up to 64 GB. No SD cards are included with the camera. The camera has no internal memory.
Still Image Formats: The D3200 records still images in JPEG and NEF (RAW) formats. You can choose from the following Image Quality and Image Size settings:
|Quality Option
(Compression ratio)
|Available Image Sizes
|NEF (Raw)
|6016 x 4000
|Raw 12-bit data from the image sensor is saved directly to the memory card in compressed Nikon Electronic Format (NEF). Settings such as white balance and contrast can be adjusted in the camera or on a computer after shooting.
|NEF (Raw) + JPEG Fine
|6016 x 4000
|Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one fine-quality JPEG image.
|JPEG Fine

|JPEG Normal
|Normal image quality, suited to most applications
|JPEG Basic
|Basic image quality, suitable for pictures that will be distributed by e-mail or used in web pages.
Movie Recording: The D3200 records movies in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition in 3:2. Movies are recorded in MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 advanced video coding, and Linear PCM audio, recorded by the built-in monaural microphone or optional external stereo mic. The maximum clip length is 20 minutes or 4 GB in size. Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates:
|Frame Size (pixels)
|Frame Rate (frames per second)
|1920 x 1080 (16:9)
|30p (29.97 fps)
|25p (for PAL displays)
|24p (23.976 fps)

|30p (29.97 fps)
|25p (PAL)
Focus Modes: You can choose from the following autofocus and manual focus modes:
AF Assist Illuminator: The built-in AF assist illuminator enables the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. This feature will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. It has an operating range of 1'-8" to 9'-10".
AF-Area Modes: The D3200 offers a choice of four focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. The AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected and what happens if the subject moves out of the selected focus area while the camera is still focusing. You can choose one of the following AF-area modes:
Focus Lock: Focus Lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in one of the focus points in the final composition.
Release Modes: The camera can take pictures one at a time, or continuously as long as the shutter release button is pressed. You can also take photos using the self-timer or with an optional remote control. The camera allows you to choose from the following Release Modes:
Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D3200's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. It is active when using type G or D lenses.
Metering: You can choose from the following Metering Modes to determine how the camera sets exposure:
Shooting Modes: The Mode Dial on the top of the camera offers a choice of shooting modes:
Scene Auto Selector: When in Live View in Auto or Auto Flash Off modes, the camera will automatically analyze the subject and select the appropriate shooting mode when autofocus is enabled. Modes that can be selected include: portrait, landscape, close up, and night portrait (see descriptions below).
AE/AF Lock: If your subject is off-centered in the frame, it can become difficult to achieve proper exposure and focus. By engaging the AE/AF Lock feature, you can focus and meter on your subject, lock the exposure and focus by pressing the shutter release button halfway, then recompose your shot before taking the picture. You can choose from the following AE/AF Lock settings.
Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -5.0 to +5.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.
White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. When the camera is set to one of the exposure modes, you can choose one of the following white balance options:
Note: In addition to the the basic White Balance options, the camera features Color Temperature settings for specific types of lighting. You can choose from Sodium-vapor lamps, Incandescent/Warm-white fluorescent, White fluorescent, Cool-white fluorescent, Day white fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, Daylight Fluorescent, Shade, and high temp Mercury-vapor lamps.
ISO Sensitivity: ISO Sensitivity is the digital equivalent of film speed. When lighting is poor, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures, and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement, up to a maximum equivalent of ISO 6400. Using the ISO button and main command dial, you can manually select from ISO settings 100 to 6400, with incremental steps of 1EV. You can also choose HI 1 (ISO 12800 equivalent) for even higher sensitivity.
Active D-Lighting: Nikon's Active D-Lighting can correct exposure issues due to difficult lighting conditions instantly and automatically while you shoot. Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural contrast.
Built-in Flash/Optional Speedlights: The camera comes with a convenient built-in pop-up flash, and an accessory shoe for adding an optional Speedlight for more creative flash photography. Nikon Speedlights offer intelligent through-the-lens (i-TTL) flash control and bounce flash capability for a more natural lighting effect without strong shadows. Some Speedlights give you wireless multiple-flash operation through the Nikon Creative Lighting System. The D3200 offers the following flash sync modes depending upon the shooting mode selected:
Accessory Shoe: The camera's integrates accessory shoe located above the viewfinder allows you to connect optional SB-series Speedlights. The shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash units with a locking pin, such as the SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, and SB-400. The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units.
Histogram: The D3200 features the ability to view a histogram on the LCD monitor screen. A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Separate histograms of the red, green, and blue channels are also available for viewing.
Picture Controls: When the camera is set to one of the P, S, A, or M modes, you can choose from the following Picture Control options:
Optional GPS: The optional GP-1 GPS unit (sold separately) can be connected to the camera's accessory terminal to allow information on the camera's current position to be recorded when photographs are taken.
Optional Wi-Fi: With the optional WU-1a wireless mobile adapter (sold separately), you can automatically send images to your smartphone or tablet, or use your smartphone as a remote shutter release. The D3200 supports two-way communication between the camera and other smart devices running the Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility.
Compatible Lenses: The D3200 is equipped with the standard Nikon F bayonet mount. It is compatible with the following types of optional lenses:
18-55mm Lens: This package includes an AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. The lens includes a 52mm snap-on front lens cap (LC-52) and a slip-on rear lens cap.
3X Optical Zoom: The compact 3x zoom lens has a broad 18-55mm focal range for use in a variety of situations. When mounted to the camera the lens' picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5x the focal length of 35mm format (27-82.5mm). Close focusing distance to 0.9 feet (10.8") throughout the entire zoom range is possible. Separate zoom and focusing rings ensure responsive operation.
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, quiet auto focus operation. Auto Focus-Silent Wave (AF-S) is a type of focusing motor used in a number of AF-Nikkor lenses; the AF-S motor is very fast and quiet. AF-S lenses also have an A-M mode selector which allows the user to switch from automatic to manual focus with almost no lag time.
Vibration Reduction (VR): Vibration Reduction (VR) minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, enabling sharper pictures, hand-held, at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible.
Focus Mode Switch: Focus mode switch enables quick switching between A (Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus).
Super Integrated Coating (SIC): High-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color reproduction, while substantially reducing ghosting and flare.
Lens Element: A Hybrid aspherical lens element minimizes various types of lens aberration.

As a novice, I was looking for the right "1st camera" to start my DSLR odyssey and was lucky to have to found the Nikon D3200.
While the step-by-step guide mode is very handy for a first timer, I already knew quite a bit about what I wanted to do. What was more handy was the "?" button. As a budding photog I've found I learn best by trying one or two features at a time, experiment with those for a number of shooting sessions, thus adding to my knowledge repertoire. Knowing (or refreshing my memory on) exactly what a feature does or doesn't do is as easy as pressing and holding the "?" button. No need to consult the manual or look it up online.
But this camera is definitely more than "entry-level." The 24.2-megapixel sensor is superior to many full frame sensors and definitely shows its hi-res worthiness when it came to cropping photos or just for taking shots where more detail is key like in low light situations. It really saved me by giving me the detail I needed to make a good shot great when I needed a low-light lens but didn't have one.
I've handled a few full-frame cameras and this one is so much lighter really handy with a long lens in a crowd when you need to move fast to catch that rock n' roll or sports action photo. And it's easy on the hands, arms, and neck when out on those long hikes for nature shots. Continuous shooting mode has been a real pleasure, too.
Battery life has been fantastic. I bought a spare but rarely find use for it in the field.
We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question. [ Krissy Oct 18, 2015 ] Staff
Not sure what lenses you have for the D80, but both cameras have DX format image sensors, so that is a good sign. From Nikon's website (lens compatibility for D3200): Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses; Autofocus is not available with other type G and D lenses, AF lenses (IX-NIKKOR and lenses for the F3AF are not supported) and AI-P lenses; Non-CPU lenses can be used in mode M but the camera exposure meter will not function The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster [ D Aug 23, 2014 ]
Yes the nikon lenses work great [ THOMAS Aug 23, 2014 ]
Yes. You can either look through the viewfinder like a traditional SLR or you can use the display like a phone or regular digital camera. I prefer the viewfinder, myself. [ WALLACE P Aug 22, 2014 ]
Yes there is a button in the back, right side of the screen labeled LV. Press it and the LCD screen will show what you're pointing at like a point and shoot. :) [ CRISTINO Aug 22, 2014 ]
Yes [ APRIL L Aug 22, 2014 ]
with the D3200 you actually you have two options one That I use is through the viewfinder on back of the camera. You place one eye up to the eye cup push the shutter halfway down and you can view exactly how the shot will be plus other information the finish pushing shutter button down to tale picture. Or you can push the live view button and it will show up on the LCD screen on back of camera, similar to most Point & Shoot cameras [ Phillip M Jones Aug 22, 2014 ]
Yes. That aspect is just like a "point and shoot" camera. [ Sib Aug 22, 2014 ]
Yes. Normally you will compose your picture looking through the view finder, not the live view screen on the back of the D3200. The view finder will show you about 95% of what will be in the actual picture. [ ALBERT Aug 22, 2014 ]
You should contact Nikon directly. There customer service department should be able to help. [ JOSEPH Jan 25, 2015 ]

First shots with Parker Hale 1858 Enfield
Was out yesterday for the first time with my Parker Hale-made 1858 Enfield.
Set up a target at a measured 50 yards and shot from a benchrest.
Didn't get a whole lot of shots off, because my buddy is a videographer and wanted to get video of me shooting it. He'd never seen a muzzleloading rifle, so for him it was a treat. Got some nice video with the camera set on a tripod, and me shooting to the side of the tripod.
But ultimately, I put 3 shots into a 1" group about 2 inches above the point of aim. This was with the Enfield's sight at its lowest setting, presumably 100 yards.
Theload was:
Kik FFFG black powder, 60 grains measured by volume.
Lyman 575213PH bullet of 566 grs., soft lead.
Bullet lubricated with Gatofeo No. 1 Lubricant, a homemade lubricant I've used for all blackpowder purposes for years.
CCI Musket cap
We also shot some plastic 2-liter bottles filled with colored water, my buddy brought along. He set his camera on a tripod about 20 feet from the jugs, turned it on, retreated to behind me, and we got some fun footage of the bottles exploding in a spray and mist.
My last shot of the day was to try to hit a desert rock at about 1,500 yards, with the Enfield's ladder-type sight set to 1,000 yards. Alas, we didn't see the bullet strike. The ground was wet. If it had been summer, we surely would have seen a cloud of dust erupt.
This was my first outing with the 1858 Enfield and I just love it. Got it in November, but it's been so dry this winter that I've been reluctant to take it out. We had a long, wet spring and summer and the dry, brown Cheatgrass and other grasses are high. I've been afraid of one spark starting a range fire.
We fired from an area that was bare ground for 25 or 30 yards ahead of the muzzle. Beyond that, the grass was damp from recent snow.
I was a little surprised at the recoil of the 1858 Enfield. I'd equate it with roughly a 20-gauge shotgun and upland loads. Not uncomfortable, but I guess I've been spoiled by my Hawken-pattern .50 caliber and its lead ball in a cloth patch.
Today is dreary, rainy and just above freezing. More snow is forecast through the week, but I hope this weekend will clear and I can get out again. I'm fortunate to live in the remote Utah desert, where I can shoot as far as the eye can see. Rather anxious to see what the ol' girl can do out to 500 yards or more.
But first, I need to practice at 100 and 200 yards.
I've been shooting cap and ball revolvers for more than 40 years, but this is my first .58-caliber Civil War era rifle. I think I just found a nice adjunct to my longtime hobby!

Nice to hear Gatofeo!! Nothing quite like shooting any black powder firearm.

S&P 500 on Bullish Path to Multi-Year Highs
There's a saying among chart watchers: The most bullish chart pattern is a new high.
Despite all the roadblocks investors have encountered over the past few months, the S&P 500 looks poised to soon break above its September 2012 high — hitting levels not seen since 2007 and targeting a return to 1500 and above.
The S&P 500 was up 0.3% at 1463 in midday trading Friday. It has rallied over 4% this week and more than 8% since Nov. 15. Richard Dickson, a senior vice president at Lowry Research, said there is currently little technical evidence to suggest the rally off the November lows has run out of gas.
The index needed to rise just 0.2% to surpass the Sept. 14, 2012, closing high of 1465.77, which would put it at the highest level since December 2007.

Utah's Top Getaway Destinations – Capitol Reef
Recently Utah's number one newspaper, the Deseret News, published a list of Utah's Top Getaway Destinations.
Perhaps it is no surprise that Capitol Reef was one of the first places to be mentioned in the article. In fact the first two destinations shown are as follows:
> Waterpocket Fold: This is the formation that comprises much of Capitol Reef National Park
> Golden Throne: A large dome formation within Capitol Reef National Park
Capitol Reef National Park is a 70 mile long formation that stretches north to south, and offers a myriad of outdoor adventure opportunities for hiking, rock climbing, cycling, photography, and more.
The Golden Throne hiking trail is accessible near the end of the Scenic Drive within the park. Follow the Capitol Gorge spur road. The hike is two miles each direction for a total of four miles.
View this map (below) of trails in Capitol Reef National Park. Read the story here.

Bombardier designed the electrical and mechanical equipment for the system, including CITYFLO 650 automatic train control. A fleet of 18 INNOVIA APM 200 vehicles will cover the initial 2.2-mile route, providing three-minute headways, and replacing current bus service. Plans are under way to extend the Sky Train to Terminal 3, with a walkway to Terminal 2, by 2015.
"The Sky Train is going to serve the airport really well to move passengers really efficiently from point to point," Steve Grubbs, a Phoenix Aviation Department special projects administrator, told local media.
US Airways and Southwest Airlines will offer free early bag checking at the Valley Metro LRT stop and East Economy stations in a pilot program.
Phoenix awarded a $255 million to Bombardier Transportation for the design, supply, operation, and maintenance of Sky Train in July 2009.

I too am not happy about the removel of the traffic monitor on the ZA icon. You even had the old bar in the main ZA on one of the old versions that was good too. They could of put that back in for the time being.
The traffic monitor is really handy,as it tells me whats going on with my connection.
The other thing im not happy about is, ZA have removed the old, disable internet activity, lock internet. You used to just fight click the icon and right click.
Please bring them back and like a bit like in above photo.
Sorry the GUI Design like in below photo was removed in ZA Version 7.0.302.000 , years ago (January 15, 2007)..
Zone Alarm has been completely Re-designed twice since then..
The Taffic Monitor has been removed in Version 10.The Stop Button has been Removed from ZA 10.
Internet lock (STOP) is not advised at all. It will cause your PC to loose internet connection and cash other components of the Windows OS.
This is an old Relic feature from the ZA ver. 2.0 days and really only worked well on Win 95.
Use at your own risk in older ZA versions, it is also no longer supported if you have issues with it, there is no Tech Support for older ZA Versions with that feature.
Here is a Quote from the Moderator..*** NOTE: the Traffic Monitor was a Relic from ZA ver. 2.0 that was designed to work well with Windows 95,
it was a plain and simple Fluff feature and that's all it is with no real purpose and has no real function in Protection provided by Zone Alarm...
Sorry there are NO Plans at this time to return the Traffic monitor or anything like it,
also there is very little chance of returning to the very old GUI design from version 6.x..

The animated icon seems to have disappeared in the latest version of ZAF. I use that feature to monitor my internet connection to see whether traffic is passing or not. Any way to turn it back on or do I have to go back to the older version. Or heavens forbid another firewall.

Guess it's goodbye ZA.......Sorry there are NO Plans at this time to return the Traffic monitor or anything like it,

Given that the strong/bold all caps NO! is the response we can assume this will not come back, but..... as to fluff, although it is considered 'fluff' as to protection, for many it gave a feeling of comfort to know at a glance it was working. Maybe that's not so for advanced knowledgeable users, but for those like me, we don't really think it was fluff, we liked it
i will get back the version before because i want to see the green and red traffic! also missing in the right click menu in notification area: stop completly internet connection.
i can't understand why developer removes features in a new version! a new version should only have additional features! the old features should stay for the users who use this software over many years!
I have registered on this forum for this one single issue!!
I just updated to the new version today, after using ZoneAlarm for over 10 years since using windows 95!
I desperately miss the traffic monitor, and want it returned ASAP
I often glanced at it to confirm the status of my internet connection, and kinda like seeing the little fellow blinking away quietly in the corner. Whether it was of any 'use' or not is entirely immaterial - I miss it, and want it back!
So there, I've said my piece, glad I registered to do so...
I disagree that the active monitor icon is "fluff."
1) From a security standpoint, it is very useful to know if an application is unexpectedly accessing the internet.
2) From a convenience standpoint, I like to know if a web page is slow in displaying due to data still being transferred from the site or some other reason local to my machine.
I wnat it back!
I liked it too and had I known I would have not upgraded to the version presented to me.
Now, I have this icon sitting there that is pretty much useless!
The little red/green icon allowed me to determine if it was a slow website or my internet was down.Soon as I saw all red I was on the phone with my ISP.
Add me to the list of users who plead for the traffic monitor (as well as the "remember this setting" function) to return at least as an option (I actually registered just to voice this).
I won't be updating to ZA 10 unless these functions are made available again, and if there are no signs of that happening in a few months, I guess I'll have to go looking for another firewall which gives me what I need...
