All primes viable for wedding/event/portrature photography?
Sovern wrote:
So I started out with my kit lens on my Rebel xsi but I shortly purchased a 50 1.8 thrifty fifty not too soon after that I feel in love with the high quality, high contrast, and beautiful bokeh that this lens was capable of. Not only that but I noticed that it forced me to think about my photos more, move and really think about the back drop, perspective, and the metering was spot on compared to my zoom lens.
I really want to get into more portraiture photography a long with event and wedding photography and I was wondering if it would be viable to just shoot with say, a 28mm 1.8 USM Prime, 50mm 1.8 USM Prime, and a 85mm USM Prime instead of getting one expensive zoom such as the Canon 17-55 which is not only pretty big, but the image quality, bokeh capability's, low light capabilities, focusing, and exposure evaluating won't be as good as those three primes that I listed plus the very expensive price tag on the cheap plastic body that it comes encased in vs the metal durable body's that the prime lens that I listed come with.
I've been doing a lot of research and most people are saying that you can't shoot weddings with just primes or events but I really feel like Primes are the way to go for me. I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way as I do and knows of any professional wedding/portrait photographers that shoot exclusively with primes?
I sold my kit zoom lens and compared to my 50 1.8 the different in image quality is night and day......I'd love to go with all primes as I tested it out and even walking a few steps forward or backwards can make up for the small MM distance compared to the zooms.
So my question is, right now I'm stuck with a kit lens that I borrowed off of a friend (sold the 50 1.8 due to the harsh bokeh and sold my kit lens) and I'm debating buying a 28 1.8 or 50 1.4 right now and learning the in's/out's of these prime lenses vs saving up around $1,000 for a plastic body Canon 17-55 2.8 and possibly buying another zoom after that.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. By the way I've already looked into the offbrand lenses such as the Sigmas and Tamrons but I want to stick with Canon because I've read about too many horror storys about both Sigma and Tamron Len's and Canon makes better glass than both company's.
So how well do you think that a 28 1.8, 50 1.8, and 85 1.8, all in my jacket ready to be switched on camera within a few seconds would fare vs having one expensive zoom lens that isn't as high quality optically?
As an "ambitious amateur", as I like to think I am , who has recently done his first wedding as the hired photog (and who would not care much to repeat the experience!) I can offer some of my experience, which matches with what many have written here.
In short: get someone to assist as second shooter with a second camera!
Having a second photog is invaluable to ensure a good coverage of every moment of the day. Having a second camera can be a lifesaver. Funnily enough, I hired a friend (who's a micro-stock photog) to be my second shooter, mostly to have a second camera around. But then, while my camera (5D mkII at the time) kept shooting happily for the whole 11 hours, my assistant's camera (450D, same as yours) gave up the ghost in the middle. MY assistant brought 1 battery and was surprised that it was flat after something like 1000 shots. I brought 2 batteries in the grip and the AA tray for emergencies. Luckily, all the formals were done and we were just capturing candids and the dancing. But apart from the hiccup, having a second shooter was great for my mental sanity
So get an assistant, at least 2 bodies and at least 2 batteries for each body!
As per your questions, I used primes + the 70-200 f/2.8L IS mkII. For the ceremony I think the zoom is invaluable, since you're not totally free to move usually. For the formals and candids primes are great. I used 35, 50 and 85 on my FF camera (I also brought a 17 and a 135). My assistant used the nifty-fifty most of the times and borrowed some of my primes from time to time.
Yes you can shoot a wedding with only primes, I think, but different venues may make your life easy or difficult if your movements are restricted.
You'll probably need something in the 35mm-equivalent range for group shots and a normal prime and a short tele as a minimum set. For a crop camera, this means something like 24mm or wider, plus a lens around 30-35mm and a lens between 50 and 100 mm.
Plus flashes, spare batteries, spare memory cards, and possibly a light modifier such as reflector.
Did I mention a second body and a second shooter?

Chicken Parmesan and Cheesy Garlic Bread
This version of Chicken Parmesan was phenomenal, but I did do some MAJOR adjusting in terms of the ingredient proportions as they seemed way off to me! I know a lot of people are on a budget and it kind of sickened me to have to throw away so much of the breadcrumb/Parmesan cheese mixture--especially since the way the recipe was originally written, it called for an entire container of Parmesan cheese--actually more than that, because his recipe was for two boneless-skinless chicken breasts and I used five and only doubled everything else! When I initially started to measure out my ingredients, my gut was telling me that it seemed like way too much, but I tend to always follow recipes exactly as they are written the first time around and then adjust them to suit my family. Again, the chicken was wonderful...I would just highly suggest following my revisions to avoid wasting!
I chose to serve this Chicken Parmesan with homemade garlic bread--when I say "homemade", I'm not referring to making the actual bread...I cheated and had my husband pick up a loaf of Italian bread. It, too, was delicious, but then again, how can you go wrong with something that calls for 1/2 pound of butter?!? I will definitely be making both of these recipes again!
Chicken Parmesan
5-6 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
1 cup flour
2 eggs (beaten)
3/4 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1-2 jars marinara sauce (or your favorite spaghetti sauce) ***depending on how much sauce you like***
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 lb box spaghetti (you may even want to make a little extra!)
Place chicken breasts between sheets of wax paper and pound the chicken until it's about ½ inch thick throughout. In a pie plate combine breadcrumbs, oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, and parmesan cheese. Crack an egg into a bowl and slightly beat. Take a separate plate and pour flour on it. Dredge your chicken breasts first in flour, then in egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Put your chicken breasts in a pan and sauté until browned on both sides. (only cook until browned, do not cook all the way through)
Place chicken into a greased, oven safe dishes and top chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Place chicken into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Serve on spaghetti topped with the remaining marinara sauce.
Source: Adapted from recipe originally posted by Blog Chef
Cheesy Garlic Bread
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and mix with garlic powder and dried parsley.
Place Italian bread on a medium baking sheet. Using a basting brush, brush generously with the butter mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven approximately 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and any remaining butter mixture. Return to oven approximately 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is lightly browned.

***Here's a picture of the breadcrumb/Parmesan cheese mixture I had left...it was an ungodly amount!***
NOTE: This reheated really well...the chicken remained as moist as the first time around!

Padmé Amidala
this wiki
Padmé Amidala Naberrie (secretly known as Padmé Skywalker) is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe.
She first appeared on-screen in the 1999 feature film The Phantom Menace as the young Queen of the planet Naboo. In the subsequent prequel trilogy films, Padmé represents Naboo in the Galactic Senate. She was the secret wife of Anakin Skywalker, the mother of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and the grandmother of Ben Solo. She is the tritagonist of the Prequel Trilogy.
Padmé was born on the planet Naboo to Ruwee and Jobal Naberrie, she has an older sister named Sola and two nieces named Ryoo and Pooja. Growing up, she met a young man named Palo and the two became romantically involved for a brief period, they separated as Palo became an artist and Padmé dedicated herself to politics and public service. At the age of fourteen, Padmé became the Queen of Naboo; the youngest in the history of Naboo. After the Invasion of Naboo, Padmé's two terms as queen ended, she then served as senator to both Naboo and Chommell.
Later in life, she would become the secret wife of Anakin Skywalker, and the mother of their children, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, during which she died due to the stress of child birth combined with the knowledge that her husband had become evil, joining the Sith Order. Anakin's fear of losing Padmé to death, was what drove him to become the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Despite his actions and before she died after giving birth to her children, Padmé still believed there was good left in Anakin and that one day he could be saved with the help of their children. Although she did not live to see it; Padmé's faith in her husband proved correct, when Anakin sacrificed himself to save their son Luke.
Padmé was well-loved for her kind and self-sacrificing nature - evident in her care and concern for all her people - regardless of their status. She even bore a close relationship with her hand-maidens and unlike many Senators, also maintained contact with her Monarch; Queen Jamillia. From a young age she exhibited great maturity and rarely indulged personal desires, such as romance, denying the affection and attention of Ian Lago, with the reasoning that Naboo needed her more than he did. She was strong-willed and passionate, making her a persuasive and inspirational speaker - a skill which would later reveal itself in her speeches as a Senator - and most especially when she actively opposed the violence related to the Clone Wars.
Her firm belief in democracy and genuine care for her people easily won her the election as Queen of Naboo. Unable to deny her people's needs, she accepted Jamillia's invitation to become Senator after her two terms as Queen ended. Her popularity allowed her to retain several privileges usually restricted to the monarch of Naboo during her time as a Senator - such as allowing her ships to be chrome-plated.
Her strong will and self-restraint were an initial stumbling block in her relationship with Anakin Skywalker. She initially blatantly refused to allow any romantic involvement as she felt that a relationship between the two of them would go nowhere and would endanger both of their futures. She saw how difficult it would be, and how greatly it had the potential to ruin both their lives. Thus, though it was not easy for her to accept, she attempted to force Anakin to see her perspective and respect her decision. However, under near-fatal circumstances - when she believed she was about to die - she saw no harm in admitting her true feelings and so expressed her love for Anakin. Upon their unexpected survival - she and Anakin could no longer deny their love. However, once married, and still well-aware of the risks attached, she kept her relationship with Anakin a secret.
Due to the nature of their respective positions within the Senate and the Jedi Order - lengthy separation periods were unavoidable, and although pained by these long separations, Padmé endured this hardship with silence, patience and strength, knowing and understanding fully their respective responsibilities and the magnitude thereof. She had much faith in Anakin and his celebrated skills, yet still worried for his safety. Her belief in him became even more evident when she began to believe him over the Jedi Order when he told of their manipulations of him to use him as a spy for their own purposes. She was reluctant to even believe Obi-Wan Kenobi, a close friend of theirs, when he told her of Anakin's dark deeds under Palpatine. To reassure herself that what he had said was not true, she traveled to Mustafar to ask Anakin herself. When her husband confirmed her worst nightmares, she still refused to believe that he could not come back to the light and urged him to do so. Even at her death, Padmé continued to have faith in her husband, speaking of the "good" that still resided within him. Many years later, her son would come to manifest this belief, when Darth Vader would turn on his Sith Master in order to save his son and in so doing, would redeem himself.
During her reign as Queen and her time serving as a Senator, Padmé presented herself as an advocate for the Gungans, who were among the natives of Naboo. Relations between the humans and Gungans were precarious at best and it was during the duress presented by the invasion of the Trade Federation that Padmé managed to unite the two groups against a common enemy. She and Gungan Boss Nass achieved a level of mutual respect, which she carried even for his successor, Boss Lyonie. Padmé strove ceaselessly to ensure that minority groups, such as the Gungans, would carry a voice in the intergalactic Senate and her constant admirable efforts, in favour of her people, could not be denied.
Much like her husband, Anakin, Padmé was rebellious, headstrong, reckless, impulsive, kind, caring, and selfless. She also had a strong sense of justice, honor and good morals; of course, like her husband, she despised lying and deception, from her friends, allies and enemies alike. She was far more forgiving then Anakin, as she quickly forgave people in general, particularly Obi-Wan, for constantly lying to her or deceiving her, although she once lie to Obi-Wan that she was going to end her relationship with Anakin, she would do this on Naboo; this was to prevent him from figuring out that Padmé was going to marry Anakin. Despite this, she was a generally honest person.
- Expert Markswoman: Padmé was extremely skilled in utilizing blaster pistols and blaster rifles.
- Expert Pilot: Padmé was extremely skilled in piloting every type of flying crafts.
- High-Level Intellect/Expert Tactician/Leader/Negotiation: Padmé was highly intelligent. As the senator and former queen of Naboo, Padmé was an extremely skilled tactician and a very capable leader. She was also extremely skilled in diplomacy and negotiation.
- Multilingual: Padmé was capable of fluently speaking English, Ithorese, Mon Calamarian, Gran, Gunganese and Rodese.
Film Appearances
The Phantom Menace
Padmé makes her first appearance in the prequel The Phantom Menace. Padmé is introduced as the 14-year-old Queen of Naboo, dedicated to ending the planet's occupation by the Trade Federation. She attempts to deal directly with Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, but he tries to have her assassinated. Padmé escapes with the help of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, but they are forced to land on the desert planet of Tatooine. Padmé, disguised as a handmaiden, meets nine-year-old slave Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmi Skywalker. Anakin gives her a hand-carved charm on a leather necklace. She witnesses Anakin win his first podrace at the Boonta Eve Classic, which helps secure his freedom.
Arriving on Coruscant, Padmé consults with Senator Palpatine, who encourages her to appeal to the Senate to resolve Naboo's dispute with the Trade Federation. He persuades her to make a motion in the Senate to have Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum removed from office, which gets Palpatine elected in his place. She is unaware that Palpatine is actually Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord who is manipulating the Trade Federation in order to take control of the Republic. Padmé returns to Naboo to fight for her planet's freedom, enlisting the aid of Jar Jar Binks' Gungan warriors and having the bodyguard Sabé pose as her.
As Sabé attempts a peace deal between Naboo and the Gungans, Padmé intervenes and reveals her true identity. The Gungans agree to help and offer a diversion to lure the droid armies away from the palace. Once in the palace, Padmé's forces are confronted by Darth Maul, who engages Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Padme and her troops proceed to storm the throne room and capture the viceroy, ending the trade blockades of Naboo once and for all. She later attends Qui-Gon's funeral. He was killed by Darth Maul at the hanger's chamber after Obi-Wan was separated from the duel due to one of the laser shields that leads to the chamber. A celebration is held to announce the unity between Naboo and the Gungans.
Attack of the Clones
In the second film, set a decade after the Phantom Menace, she represents Naboo in the Galactic Senate after leaving the throne and leads a faction opposed to the Military Creation Act, which would create an army for the Republic, which is threatened by a growing Separatist movement. As she arrives on Coruscant to cast her vote, assassins hired by the Trade Federation make an unsuccessful attempt on her life. Anakin Skywalker, now Obi-Wan Kenobi's Padawan, is assigned to protect her. Palpatine sends Padmé into hiding on Naboo, where she and Anakin struggle to maintain a platonic relationship despite their obvious mutual attraction.
When Anakin has a vision of his mother in danger, Padmé accompanies him to Tatooine in a failed attempt to rescue her from a band of Tusken Raiders. Anakin returns with his mother's body, and tearfully confesses to Padmé that he slaughtered the entire tribe, including the children. Padmé is troubled by what he has done, but nevertheless comforts him, forgiving him for acting upon his emotions.
They receive a message from Obi-Wan, who has been captured by Separatist leader Count Dooku on the planet Geonosis, and Nute Gunray is behind of the assassination attempt on Padmé. Padmé and Anakin rush to his aid, only to be captured themselves and condemned to death in a Geonosian coliseum. They declare their love to each other, and are then transported into the arena, where Padme takes on the Nexu. However, she and her Jedi friends were saved at the last minute by Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda, who lead an army of Jedi and clone troopers. This battle marks the opening salvo of the Clone Wars. Afterwards, Padmé and Anakin are married in a secret ceremony on Naboo witnessed by the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Revenge of the Sith
Padmé Amidala makes her third appearance on film in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, set three years after the events of Attack of the Clones. After Anakin returns from a battle, she informs him that she is pregnant and asks him what they should do. Anakin simply tells her not to worry about it for the time being. Padmé watches with increasing suspicion as Palpatine becomes a dictator, using the Clone Wars to amass vast emergency powers and gain control over the Senate and judiciary. Palpatine later declares martial law, transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire and naming himself Emperor. As the Senate cheers for Palpatine, Padmé says, "So, this is how liberty dies.. With thunderous applause".
After informing Anakin of her pregnancy, Padmé and Anakin both go to Padmé's apartment. Later that night, Padmé begins to detect changes in Anakin after he has dreams about her dying in childbirth. Although she is dismissive of his visions, Anakin's fear for her leads to his conversion to the dark side of the Force; Palpatine corrupts Anakin by promising him the power to prevent Padmé's death and takes him as his Sith apprentice, Darth Vader. After Palpatine seizes absolute power, Obi-Wan informs her that Anakin has become a Sith Lord and killed everyone in the Jedi Temple, including the children. She refuses to believe him, but travels to the volcanic planet Mustafar with Obi-Wan stowed on board her ship to learn if Anakin has indeed turned to the dark side. She confronts him, and begs him to escape Palpatine's grasp and flee with her.
However, Vader refuses, instead saying he plans to overthrow Palpatine so they can rule the galaxy together. Padmé recoils in horror, realizing that Obi-Wan had been telling the truth. Nevertheless, even with her heart breaking, she still tries to persuade him to come back. Just then, Obi-Wan emerges from the ship. Vader accuses her of betraying him, and uses the dark side to choke her into unconsciousness. He then accuses Obi-Wan of turning Padmé against him, and Obi-Wan insists Anakin has done this himself. After Obi-Wan defeats Vader in the ensuing lightsaber duel, he brings Padmé to Polis Massa, a secret asteroid base. Despite the efforts of medical droids, Padmé dies after giving birth to twins Luke and Leia, having lost the will to live. Her final words are, "Obi-Wan? There's good in him. I know. I know there's...still..."
Padmé's corpse, altered to appear still pregnant, is returned to Naboo and given an elaborate funeral ceremony; she is buried with the necklace Anakin made for her when they first met on Tatooine. The twins are separated and hidden from the Empire; Luke is brought to Tatooine to be raised by Anakin's step-brother Owen and his wife Beru, while Leia is adopted by Bail Organa of Alderaan and raised as a princess.
Return of the Jedi
Padmé is mentioned when Luke asks Leia if she remembers their mother, to which Leia replies "She was very beautiful, kind but sad", while Luke said he never knew her.
Video games
Disney INFINITY
Padmé appears as a mission giver in the Twilight of the Republic Play Set for the third game. According to Mathew Solie on Toy Box TV Live, she has "awkward dialog" with Anakin. She can then be unlocked to place in the Toy Box.
Disney Parks
Padmé appears as a meetable character at Disney's Hollywood Studios during Star Wars Weekends.

I always try to do something for him when he has to go away for his training. So this year was this album! I used a military theme to decorate the front and as a color scheme for the inside pages. The cover is chipboard covered in scrapbook paper, hole punched and tied with twine. The inside pages is scrapbooking cardstock cut slightly smaller than the cover.
I feel it is VERY important for my husband to know that I support his decision to continue in his guard unit. So this is one small way I can do that while also giving him a glimpse of home while he is away.

I had this problem in the beginning. Especially at night. What I did that best helped with this problem was to stand in stead of sitting on the small stool I have. It's hard to fall asleep standing up. When I feel drowsy standing, then I do a few prostrations. Also you can begin to say the prayer much louder. (Be sure to start saying the prayer out loud and don't force silent or mental prayer. It will come naturally) It is really a battle against the evil forces that want to stop you from praying. So I would think of speaking louder as a kind of counter-force to overcome these negative forces that were attacking me. Just try some different tactics until you overcome this tendency. The mind works funny ways. For example I always yawn when I recite the Lord's prayer. It's like some kind of conditioned response. I have to fight it off often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. Standing had proved helpful when I was dedicated to the practice in the early part of my conversion to Orthodoxy. Perhaps my laxity is revealing itself in my drowsiness.
I pray inwardly with my voice (that is I still use my vocal cords), but I have no opportunities to pray aloud without being disruptive either to work or family life.
I've been trying to find a private place at least on my coffee breaks.

Mystery Mike: Who is Benjamin Butters?
Yo! We've got a hip-hop whodunit on our hands. Well, maybe not a whodunit, but still, there's a mystery afoot in the world of rap. And if there's anything we love more than rappers, it's mystery rappers! Who the hell is this Benjamin Butters cat? Do you know? We need answers, and it appears as though a few of the main hip-hop guys in the scene know exactly what's up, but they're all keeping mum.
Benjamin Butters first popped onto our radar on Mane Rok's Saul Amore: A Modern Day Massacre, the Valentine's Day release. The mysterious rapper appeared on the Mr. Bostic-produced "Addicted" and delivered a decent performance, but it wasn't necessarily nice enough to pique our interest further.
Now, though, he's made another appearance on Dyalekt's new joint, Death by Ego, and damn if we're not curious. We caught up with Dyalekt to ask about the mysterious Benjamin Butters with the slightly distorted voice and interesting rap flow and execution. All the Diamond Boi would divulge was: "I'm not at liberty to discuss that information," and he said it with a straight face. "All I know is he sent me a hot chorus for my track, and he has appeared on other hip-hop tracks." We even gave him that comfortable moment of silence, you know, hoping we'd get more. We didn't. Is this some who is John Galt-type shit? Inquiring minds want to know.
Will the real Benjamin Butters please stand up?

Our aim is always to conserve both glass and lead work where possible, and to undertake reversible interventions where necessary.

Unprotected stained glass will be soaked by the elements, buffeted and eroded by sand blasting winds, attacked by corrosive air pollution that destroys the artistic detail, transparency and vibrancy of coloured glass. Left unchecked the growth of molds and algae will cause organic damage. microorganisms will create organic acids that attack the stained glass, oxidise the lead and metal frames and rot wooden frames. Moisture within a building will facilitate the deterioration of the interior painted surface of stained glass due to the action of condensation on the glass.

The reason behind this success is the vast array of products we provide. "Whether it be for the home or commercial work, we guarantee high quality results."

I've run my defensive projections for 2011 using UZR as the primary input data source. For a general feel for the methodology read this post. A couple changes from last year
- Instead of using the average FSR for bins of players I'm using the FSR converted to runs as found on Fangraphs as my scouting component number.
- I took into account multiple positions this year. I used the Fangraphs standard position adjustments to convert all UZR values from all positions to a player's primary position.
As mentioned, this set of data is run with UZR as the primary data input. Over the next few weeks/month I'll be running the same process with DRS as an input, TZ as an input, and an average as an input. I'll post those files as they become available.

This is great stuff, Steve. Thanks! Any idea how Youkilis would project at 3B?
I was thinking of doing a Berkman post, and I think I can mention Youk too..
Good stuff. Looking forward to the other systems as well.
Just a note that Drew Stubbs is not included in your list for CF.
Hmm… I'll give it a look when I get home… Thanks
[...] UZR Defensive projections are out and while projections are just that … projections. I wanted to note, mainly because I thought it was interesting and relevant, that the Mariners have 2 of the top 4 projected defensive shortstops in the league. [...]

This is primarily so I can use a hardware load balancer (it understands http, not ajp13 etc etc) Hopefully this answers your questions: Basically I use mod_rewrite to rewrite a url and send it off to tomcat: ProxyPassReverse /servlet http://mytomcat:8880/myapp/servlet/ RewriteRule ^/servlet/(.*) http://mytomcat:8880/myapp/servlet/$1 [p] The two rules above will send /servlet/ requests off to tomcat, and also handle rewriting redirects generated by tomcat so that it is translated from the /myapp/servlet to /servlet url path. It's important that you have the appropriate proxy settings in the tomcat http connector. ProxyPreserveHost On The "ProxyPreserveHost On" tells apache to pass through the "Host:" part to the http request, instead of changing it to the proxies hostname. All you need to do is set up the same virtual hosts in tomcat and apache. Couple of other things of note: 1) once you go through a proxy the ip address returned by req.getRemoteAddr() is the proxies ip address. You have to get the client ip address from the "x-forwarded-for" header. 2) you can add a "Header unset Server" directive if you wrap everything in a <Location> block. Apache will remove the "Server: Tomcat blah blah" from tomcat's response and replace it with whatever you have apache set to respond with...this makes it slightly less obvious you are running tomcat behind the scenes. Hope this helps!

A couple of questions: 1) Can apache run in a proxy mode and still forward requests to Tomcat? 2) If it can, does apache send requests to Tomcat as if Tomcat is part of the proxy server (ie. absolute URL) or an origin server (ie. relative URL), I would expect that Tomcat would be part of the proxy server and hence receive abolute URLs. 3) How does URL mapping in Tomcat work when a host name is provided in an absolute URL.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Large-scale bird feedings have been banned in one Long Island town.
As CBS 2's Carolyn Gusoff reported, the Hempstead Town Board voted uananimously Tuesday for a law that targets property owners who attract many birds with large amounts of food.
The vote came after the Sesslers of Seaford complained that the owner of the boat yard they live next door to was feeding wheelbarrows filled with cornmeal to birds every day, sometimes several times a day.
"There's north of a couple of hundred birds — pigeons, geese, swans," said Jeremy Sessler.
As a result of the feedings, birds have been running rampant on the Sesslers' property, leaving behind foul sights and smells.
"It's filthy," said Lara Sessler. "It's all over our patio, our furniture, our vehicles."
"The feces that it generates was horrible," said Eric Schwartz, a home builder. "It was literally blocks away."
But there was little recourse for the Sesslers. Feeding birds on your own property was legal in America's biggest township. When talking to their neighbor didn't help, the Sesslers lobbied for the legislation.
The new law, which will take effect within the month, prohibits residents from feedings that attract at least 10 birds on at least three days within a 15-day period. Violators can be fined up to $1,000 per violation.
"We did ask nicely, but he didn't want to," Jeremy Sessler said. "That's his right, but now that there's a law in place, it will be the town's job to enforce the law."
The new law will not apply to casual bird feeding, which the town encourages.
"The person who wants to feed birds every once in a while, that is perfectly acceptable," said Town Supervisor Kate Murray. "We love that."
The boat yard's owner, Michael Victor, declined to comment Tuesday, but he has previously told CBS 2 he rehabilitates birds and has been feeding them for 20 years, long before the houses around him were built.
The new law won't prevent Victor from hanging a small bird feeder. But bird experts say in that case, it could take a while for the flock to adapt and go elsewhere.

If you want to date Maroon 5's Adam Levine, wear a men's button-down (and nothing else) and get ready to nosh on some Mickey D's. In a sit-down with the fashion website Refinery29, the Voice judge, who's coming out with a men's clothing line for Kmart and Shop Your Way, gets candid about dating.
"I think women look great wearing men's watches — a big, chunky watch. Men's shirts also look good on women…just the shirt, that's what I prefer," Levine, who's been dating Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo since last summer, told the website.
What turns him off? "Too much perfume and too much makeup. Yuck." Interestingly, Levine launched his own women's and men's fragrances (called Adam Levine) this month.
As for what to wear on a first date: "I always like to dress up in a tuxedo and tell the girl to dress real fancy. I like to pick her up and go to McDonald's in a tuxedo…. It's a good spontaneous, romantic thing you can do that's also cost-effective. What if you don't like the person? It's only the first date," the singer opined. "Dress fancy, but go to McDonald's. Her world will be so rocked. You might be able to take her to the opera afterwards. If you don't like her, you can just take her home."
