Writing in College - 1. Some crucial differences between high school and college writing

http://writing-program.uchicago.edu/resources/collegewriting/high_school_v_college.htm From high school to college Some students make very smooth transitions from writing in high school to writing in college, and we heartily wish all of you an easy passage. But other students are puzzled and frustrated by their experiences in writing for college classes. Only months earlier your writing was winning praise; now your instructors are dissatisfied, saying that the writing isn't quite "there" yet, saying that the writing is "lacking something." You haven't changed--your writing is still mechanically sound, your descriptions are accurate, you're saying smart things.

Ode: How to tell a great story

Understanding Camera Metering and Exposure

Knowing how your digital camera meters light is critical for achieving consistent and accurate exposures. Metering is the brains behind how your camera determines the shutter speed and aperture, based on lighting conditions and ISO speed. Metering options often include partial, evaluative zone or matrix, center-weighted and spot metering. Each of these have subject lighting conditions for which they excel — and for which they fail. Understanding these can improve one's photographic intuition for how a camera measures light. Recommended background reading: camera exposure: aperture, ISO & shutter speed
Ok, well, with the response from yesterday's post , I felt compelled to go ahead and do this. Without further ado: You know it has to be said, first sentence, first paragraph: the best way to win a fist fight is not to get into one in the first place. No shit, sherlock. Every single mens magazine who has ever attempted to publish an article like this has started (and ended) exactly that way and is usually devoid of any real information - sometimes because someone on the editorial staff wanted to avoid putting the periodical at risk for a lawsuit; other times because the author has absolutely no clue what they’re talking about, so they cop out with this “Verbal Judo Wins The Day!”

How to Change File Extension in Windows 7

When you open a file, Windows will check the file extension and would invoke the application which is set as default for that extension, but sometimes it happens when you download email attachments or download something through torrents file extensions are messed up. Like many video files are in extension .DAT which no video player recognizes, for that you have to change the file extension. First make sure you can see the extension of the files (e.g. fileName.jpg ), if not then open up Windows Explorer and press the Alt key, and click on Folder Options via Tools menu button. Now click on View tab and remove the check from Hide extensions for known file types , and then press OK. (This way you’d be able to see the extensions of the files).
