One question though. Why did you place the subject where you did within the frame?
I guess I've been concentrating on getting used to the equipment mostly. The subjects are where they are in the frame mostly by default rather than design. I know this is not ideal, but would certainly appreciate say using one photo as an example and hearing how you feel composition could be improved. Or, perhaps you simply feel that whilst it's a nice photo a completely different approach is required.

The treads I had in mind are below in "Is It Art?"
My advice would be to learn as much as you can about art before you you attempt to go your own way and break all the rules. Breaking the rules may work for soem, but generally they know and understand what and why they do what they do. There aren't all taht amny ignorant artists, in my opinion.

Thank-you all so far...
Whilst critiquing is good in order to get basic techniques (either picture taking, or post processing), it won't help you develop your own individual style of photography. For that you will need to (a) study examples of photographers you like, or who are acknowledged to be good in their field, ( go out and try to copy their style until you develop your own individual form of expression.
That was one of the things I was hoping for some feedback on. I've only had a DSLR since mid septmber, so technique wise I reckon I've still much to learn.
As for style, I agree with you, looking at other peoples pictures and seeing what you like about them to help develop your own style is the way of the world. However, it would be nice if more of these exchanges had other people's pictures to help illustrate their ideas. After all, if the only way to get ideas is to buy books then (whilst that's not a bad thing) what do forums on the internet add to the process? Ideas are great, and there are a lot of good words spoken here, I'd like to see more pictures though. For those of us learning the ropes pictures can still be the best way to illustrate a point.
Again I have to agree that the hardest part is capturing the animals natural behaviour. It's also becoming the most rewarding. I've already spent plenty of time just watching and waiting and it's amazing what you pick up. Most of it doesn't yield a photo, but you still go home feeling like you've made progress as you piece together what animals do what and when. Certainly helps put a different perspective on what goes on around you!
Thanks again!

Ian, the rules of composition are merely a mathimatical statement of what has been found over a long period of time and cultures to be what is intuitively pleasing. Many pleasing images are based on intuition and can be explained by rules. Many dud images likewise are compositionally correct. And of course, there are examples of images that do not comply but are excellant, most often because the selected composition evokes a desired response. These compositions are often stricking because of the unexpected.

didger, your ignorance is showing again, and now your stupity is starting to hang out. Someone said once that it is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.
"As for the notion that certain 'rules' can be derived from analysis (mathematical or whatever) of works or forms that most people agree are 'beautiful', well, maybe, ... ."
Not maybe, didger, but definitely. If you want to play a semantics game, maybe correlation would fit better than law.

Howard, you're completely missing the valid point that compositional "rules" are at best a rough average of what people think about photographs. And for each successful image that follows "the rules" there are other successful images that do not. I'm familiar with the "rule of thirds" and the "golden mean" but don't find them particularly useful when I'm shooting. I have never made a photograph because the width of something was 1.618x the height of something else or evenly divisible by the cube root of apple pi. There's also the concept of originality; the first time somebody photographed Old Faithful it was cool and artistic, but now ther isn't any angle or compositional paradigm that can be applied to the subject that hasn't already been done millions of times. I have some reasonably well-executed shots of Old Faithful, but haven't done much with them because there are certainly millions of other extant photographs of Old Faithful and the odds of my having come up with anything fresh and interesting (not already done millions of times) is about nil.
The artistic side of photography is not about formulae and hoary compositional paradigms, it's about capturing a "decisive moment" or the essence of something that can be expressed in a static image of finite size. Formulae are for people who have no imagination.

I will challenge you on this one as it gets to the real core root of creativity in photography and in some way sorts the men from the boys.
IF you stick to the same tried and tested formulae and approach the subject in the same manner that it has been approached in the past, then there is little room to come up with a new and radical interpretation of the image. However, at some point in time someone will have a revelation - either by accident or confluence of past experience - and do something, which may seem ordinary to them, but to everyone else results in a new interpretation of the same subject.
I actually live within 5-10mins walk of the Eiffel Tower, an object which has been photographed and posted on the internet perhaps more than any other object in the world. If I see another picture looking up from the bottom of the west end pier (coming from the RER station), I think I am going to be sick
. However, the point of this is that I believed that I had seen every possible interpretation of the Eiffel tower in a photograph (day, night, fireworks, from below, from the top, details of the structure, models jumping in front or adopting any other of a million different poses...) - not more than two weeks ago someone posted what I consider to be an original perspective of this subject, and from a viewpoint I had not even seen or considered.
So, irrespective of the millions of people taking pictures of something there is always the possibility to find a new interpretation. Its just a case of seeing beyond the existing paradigms, and as serious (and in some cases professional) photographers this is what we are expected to do.

Let me see if I understand. didger, are you saying you are in the same league as Edward Weston?
For what it's worth, Galileo and Keppler were much more radical thinkers than Einstein and certainly Newton. I am not claiming kinship with those folks because I am creative. Far from it. I merely use formulae, and believe they can be most useful in describing what I see.
Make no mistake about it, didger. I make no boasts of being on the cutting edge of creativity or being the next coming of Edward Weston.

"Formulae are for people who have no imagination." I guess that includes folks like Newton, Einstein, Galaleo, Keppler, a number of others and me. Somehow, I feel in pretty elite company.
You're taking that quote totally out of context. I was specifically referring to the
side of photography. The technical side of photography has many applicable formulae. Calculating the depth of field you'll get with a given circle of confusion, focal length, aperture, and distance is a straightforward mathematical exercise. Calculating the depth of field that will result in the most visually pleasing image is another matter entirely. Einstein never attempted to calculate how much sky belongs in a visually acceptable landscape.

To learn to be a Photographer, first you have to learn ABOUT photography. This includes composition, design, other photographers' work, analysing and critiquing, technical issues, etc etc.
And then- PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
As opposed to : "I've got a camera for Christmas - now how can I start making money as a Photographer?"
This site is full of some misinformed 'advisers' - as well as well-meaning Pros. The trick is to find which is which - analyse the information. But don't expect it to be given on a plate, over one weekend.
Oh, and disregard the egos of those fighting to be the "Alpha male".

I feel somewhat nervous about this but I'd appreciate some feedback on my attempts so far since getting my first DSLR. I know there are some very good photographers here so I suppose I'm looking for encouragement and pointers as to how to make progress through technique rather than wallet.
My favourites so far are in
I think it's fair to say that I think the type of photography I enjoy most is nature and wildlife so some other shots can be found in here...

Ian, I find the photos well composed. However, they don't seem to be anything unique for the subject. That is really hard to do by the way. Some folks never get there at all, but rely on "immature" subjects to get them by. Immature subjects are hard to find - that's why they are immature.
Your efforts are quite good for now, but keep at it. Study hard, your work and that work you like. The reason I asked about the composition relates to other topics here. Your compositions seem to follow certain pleasing guides (rules?). Some say that's crap, some don't. Keep with the tried and true until you really understand why you want to do something else.

Phew!! Nothing like a little light reading...
Hmmm... I can see the arguments for many sides of the discussion. What I'm curious about, and I imagine many other inexperienced people are is how the more experienced people got to where they are now.
For example, everyone whether they take pictures or not usually recognises a great picture instantly, so there's obviously something instinctive at play. We all recognise the wow factor when it's there. People such as Micheal (for example) who've been shooting for some time find they see a picture instinctively to shoot it without really thinking.
The question is, did that ability to shoot instinctively develop subconciously over time as they took more pictures, come from an understanding of what makes a good picture compositionally, or come from the first one, followed by an understanding of the latter once the instinctiveness had developed?
I don't know if it matters all that much, but certainly in the design world the people who really seem to know what they are doing also seem to understand a lot about the history of design and what works and what doesn't. It makes me wonder if similar things apply to photography and how to learn to improve your photos through good constructive criticism...
Must be nice to live somewhere that doesn't get dark quick in the winter so you can just finish work and go take some pictures outside without having time to contemplate your naval through the bottom of a wine glass!!!

didger, your ignorance is showing.
"The Golden Mean is a ratio which has fascinated generation after generation, and culture after culture. It can be expressed succinctly in the ratio of the number "1" to the irrational "l.618034... ", [about thirds] but it has meant so many things to so many people, that a basic investigation of what might is the "Golden Mean Phenomenon" seems in order. So much has been written over the centuries on the Mean, both fanciful imaginings and recondite mathematicizations, that a review of the literature on the subject would be oversize, and probably lose the focus of the problem."

Didger, here is a quote from Edward Weston that may be relevant to the current debate (snowball fight?):
"I never try to limit myself by theories. I do not question right or wrong approach when I am interested or amazed,---impelled to work. I do not fear logic, I dare to be irrational, or really never consider whether I am or not. This keeps me fluid, open to fresh impulse, free from formulae: and precisely because I have no formulae---the public who know my work is often surprised, the critics, who all, or most of them, have their pet formulae are disturbed, and my friends distressed." This is from the January 28, 1932, entry of his Daybooks, quoted in the 1965 Aperture monograph on him.
I believe he also said something to the effect that composition is simply "the strongest way of seeing", but I can't put my hand on the exact quote.

And of course, there are examples of images that do not comply but are excellant, most often because the selected composition evokes a desired response. These compositions are often stricking because of the unexpected.
Have you ever tried to justify why a woman is beautiful by the fact that her features comply with given mathematical formulae of composition? Perhaps you have given us a new method for judging beatuy and we should all post a beatuy score as to how good we look. NB Didger get minus 100 to start with for the fluffy white beard (though could be construed as a bonus this time of year
I would agree that the golden rule provides a much tried and tested compositional framework, however, there are many non mathematical concepts (lead in lines, false symmetry, perspective, etc..). These provide a language for describing photographic technique which is helpful in describing concepts, but I would disagree that they are hard and fast rules. At the end of the day a woman is beautiful because she is radiant, glowing and intelligent, not because her nose is pi/4 from her upper lip and her eyes are equidistant between her ears. The same holds true for pictures.
It is good that we have this discussion between the need for formal and informal compositional rules. Cartier-Bresson was very much in the former camp (with Howard) and made the following statement with regard to a photographers education:
"There should be a visual education emphasized from the very beginning in all schools. It should be introduced just like the study of literature, history or mathematics. With a language, everyone learns the grammer first. In photography, one must learn the visual grammar."
HCB's comment needs to be seen in the context that the French system is very formal in its educational techniques and creativity doesn't come high up the list of features - everything can be taught in France! On the other hand there are a group of photgrapher who believe that artistic creativity comes from within and cannot, as such be taught, these favour informal learning. An example of such a person would be Eliot Porter who said:
"You learn to see things by practice. It's just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realise what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it."
There is also a third group which believe that photography should be a life enhancing holistic experience and that the photograper should become more concious of life through photography. Henry Holmes Smith said on this subject:
"Somebody said recently that the best thing a student could do was to get in some shows and publish a book; but nothing about becoming a human being, nothing about having important feelings or concepts of humanity. That's the sort of thing that is bad education. I'd say be a human first and if you happen to wind up using photography, that's good photography."
In reality all positions are correct as it is necessary to have technical knowledge to master the tools, however, at some point it is necessary to transcend the technical knowledge in order to establish creative art. Once technical knowledge has been transcended then it is only left to master ourselves in order to become master of our art.

I'm pulling out of this thread now...
I think that we can reach agreement on this issue if Howard could loosen up a little and get in touch with the spiritual side; and Didger was happy to accept compositional criticism based on tried formula?
...any chance to tone down some of the more aggressive elements in the comments?

"Recognition of such beauty is strictly a hormonal thing, so the whole point is invalidated. Ya got that? You ever find that a face or figure of your own gender has classical beauty? Too bad for your mixed up hormones and lucky for you that society is more tolerant of such nowadays. Ever find a horse beautiful? Uh, oh, maybe not that tolerant. Ever find a young child of any gender beautiful? Uh oh, watch for vice cops."
If I am the only one that thinks this is statement is just plain stupidity, the I owe didger an apology.

"Oh, and disregard the egos of those fighting to be the 'Alpha male'."
More important than that is to ignore your own ego. Do you take your images to critique to show everybody how good you and your images are, or to learn something to improve next week? The former attitude isn't conducive to learning. Critiques are not beauty or popularity contests. Comments may appear to be quite harsh.
The motive of the reviewer isn't all that important. That is his issue, not yours. The Alpha Male wantnabe just might have soemthing worth saying tp you about your images. If the motive is to just mark his territory, that will become quite evident in the content of the criticism.
I found it very useful and important to the critique process that the owner of the image did not speak. Speaking generally resulted in the photographer defending the image. Egos flair, and the photographer refuses to listen to those "idiots." Nothing learned.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Rock your headphones Great headphones are like race cars they need high-octane fuel to perform their best. If you're driving your 'phones straight off of your PC or stereo system's headphone output, you could be missing out on a lot of music enjoyment. That's because computer and audio manufacturers frequently use low-cost, low-performance circuitry to power their headphone jacks resulting in thin, lifeless sound. NuForce's HDP solves the problem by employing high-current, low-distortion amplification designed especially for headphones. This pint-sized powerhouse lets you make the most of your headphone investment by rendering your tunes with richer, deeper bass, clearer highs, and explosive dynamics. Cool features for a top-notch compact audio system The HDP is more than just a great headphone amp. You're also getting a high-quality digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a stereo preamplifier, all in a single compact component you can use as the centerpiece of a killer desktop audio system. The HDP's sophisticated DAC can accept digital music files from your PC via USB bypassing your computer's built-in soundcard for a far more exciting listening experience. You'll hear layers of musical nuance previously obscured by the noisy environment inside your PC reverberations echoing in a concert hall, or the natural decay of an acoustic guitar chord. On good recordings, every instrument and vocal will stand out clearly and distinctly in its own separate space, allowing you to follow each one note-for-note. It's audio detail at the molecular level. Versatile connections for your music sources You can connect multiple music sources to your Icon HDP: Input #1 gives you three different ways to hook up components. Its coaxial digital input is ideal for connecting a CD player and taking advantage of the HDP's high-performance DAC for better sound. Then there's a stereo minijack, which accepts the headphone output from your smartphone or MP3 player. This input also doubles as a 3.5mm optical digital input for connecting components with optical out, such as some computers. Nuforce even includes a Toslink optical to 3.5mm mini optical adapter for your components that use a full-size optical digital out. Input #2 is a pair of RCA jacks, ready to take on an iPod® dock or other audio components with line-level output. Input #3 is a type B USB jack, which feeds the output of your computer into the Icon HDP's onboard digital-to-analog converter. This lets you bypass your computer's soundcard to enjoy much higher resolution audio. A pair of high-quality, gold-plated RCA outputs lets you connect the Icon HDP to an amplifier of your choice for a full-blown audio system, or a pair of amplified speakers for a high-end, compact desktop stereo. Easy to set up and use Operation is simple just plug the NuForce into any USB port on your computer, where it will automatically install itself and be ready for use in a matter of seconds.

No improvement at all Written By Pangtju, Los Angeles on Sunday, October 06, 2013 I compared listening thru my Sony Studio quality headphone direct from the headphone jack on my 12 years old Sony Home Theater amplifier and through the NuForce Icon HDP connected direct to the output from my Pioneer Elite DVD player, I was listening to Diana Krall SACD,the sounds coming out from my old Sony Home theater amplifier is much richer in hi frequencies and bass and midrange, and I consulted Crutchfield team, and the team said it is obvious that a processed sound from home theater amplifier will produce much better improved sound. I was kind of disappointed to buy this product after hearing so many inputs that the NuForce Icon HDP is such a very good product. Pros: None Cons: Sounds is dull compared to what I used to listen from my hometheater amplifier direct headphone jack. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Deal! Great Sound! Goes PERFECT w/ Senn HD650s Written By pohlevj, Little Falls, NY on Thursday, December 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To start off I want to let everybody know that I have been a true audiophile for many years. I've had several home and car audio setups that I have spent a lot of money on over the years and I am confident when I say that I know good sound. I recently purchased a premium set of headphones for home use (Sennheiser HD650s). When i received them I used them with my home theater's headphone jack and they sounded fantastic! but when i plugged them into my computer they just bottomed right out! they had no guts to them... no oomph! They lacked the power and clarity that they are supposed to have when ran properly. After speaking with a Crutchfield representative I decided on purchasing the Nuforce Icon HDP headphone amp. Let me tell you what... this headphone amp makes such an incredible difference with ANYTHING you listen to. Whether its rock, rap, country, jazz, you name it. As a matter of fact I feel that these two items go incredibly well together, like they were almost made for each other. And since it is a headphone amp, DAC, and preamp all in one, I sometimes hook it up through my home theater system to give it even more power! I highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking to power those high-impeded headphones the RIGHT way and not just settle for your computers stock headphone jack...believe me, this thing makes a world of difference and is totally WORTH the price. After all, a $500 pair of cans deserves a $500 amp, don't you agree? Pros: Powers up to 600 ohm headphones extremely well. Goes perfect with the Sennheiser HD650s. Extremely versatile headphone amp that also acts as an external computer DAC and preamp. Several connectivity options, including optical, coaxial, and RCA in and outs. Small and lightweight, but feels and looks very solid. Comes with a white silicone stand and looks GREAT with any setup you choose to incorporate it into. Cons: A little on the expensive side, but totally worth it when you look at what you are getting for the price you're paying. Do some homework on headphone amps and DACs and you will see very quickly that this headphone amp is a great piece to add to your setup. Sure, there are ones out there that are the next level up, but they are well over $1000. The Nuforce Icon HDP is perfect for anyone! Whether you are an average listener, or a true audiophile, you will absolutely love this product by Nuforce! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NuForce Icon HDP Written By Gerald, Boston MA on Saturday, May 26, 2012 This was was a remarkable addition the my audio equipment. Before I purchased the NuForce Icon HDP I didn't get much satisfaction listening to MP3 files and I listened to mostly vinyl LP records when I was at home. It was purely a listening convenience that was used as an out of the house on the go type of arrangement for me.The music lacked so much depth until I hooked this little baby up to my Sennheiser HD-650 headphones and ran my iPod Classic through it. Now I listen to my iPod and iPhone a lot more at home. The sound is is amazing, vocals are clear and each instrument can be easily singled out and heard the way it's supposed to be. If you plan to listen eo your music collection using MP3's or other compressed sound files through either a portable player or over you computer than you can't go wrong with the NuForce Icon HDP in fact you owe it to yourself to hear what you've been missing. I will be purchasing a portable headphone amp next for my on the go solution. Pros: Clear rich sound. USB DAC hookup sound is amazing. You MP3 Player never sounded so good. Cons: None other than a little pricey but worth every penny. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Written By KYFHO69, Misawa, Japan on Friday, May 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using the Nu Force HDP with a pair of PSB M4U 2 Headphones (totally killer headphones BTW). The sound is unlike anything I have ever heard before! I have a $10K home stereo that doesn't sound as good as this. The music is much more dynamic and the details of each instrument are very easy to hear on each song. I know it's a cliché, but seriously I am hearing stuff I never heard in songs that I have listened to for 20 years. Strong bass, super clear mids and highs. I am using Audioquest cables for the analog and USB. I have played this with my PC as well as a Cambridge Audio ID100 via analog - outstanding sound! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to hear the best sound possible from their music. Yeah a One may think this unit is a little pricey, but I guarantee you it is a total bargain for what you get. Pull the trigger and enjoy yourself! Pros: Ease of use and absolutely fantastic sound. Cons: NONE 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No gods creation Written By derekB, Syracuse, NY on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product makes even cruddy youtube songs sound alive. The clarity is unreal, ZERO distortion. I can say that the combo of this bad boy and my hd 800s are UNREAL. music is transparent and soundstage is amazing. must have for a true audiophile!!! Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: NOTHING. maybe a litle to bulky thats about it 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No More than what you paid for Written By CDSc, Aurora, IL on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been into music and high-end audio for 22 yrs now and can say that all of the online reviews (look them up and see what I mean) and the ones below are accurate and spot on. This device is WAY beyond a great value. To most, 449.00 is too pricy. Only each individual can determine what's a 'great value' to them or not and they have to determine if spending this much is worth it. Would I recommend this to someone with a $50 boom box? No. However, for what its features are: headphone amp, DAC and preamp, it is OUTSTANDING! Sound quality, build quality and ease of use is great--especially the sound quality!!! The only thing that might slow some down is getting all of the settings on your computer correct for the DAC input. However, Crutchfield has a great staff willing to help out. PLUS: Nuforce's customer service is great, too. If your system can allow one to hear what this device can do, this thing is a steal! Highly Recommended!!! Pros: Sound quality! EVERYTHING is better: highs, mids, lows, detail, space, ease of listening, better delineation of everything on your recording (given your recordings are good), everything is smoother sounding with a greater amount of detail without being etched. If you're not used to real high-end gear, you'll hear things on your recordings that you never heard before. Build quality. Small size. Upgradable (check out other Nuforce products) Lots of gain to drive virtually any cans Cons: If you are a cave man with computers, let Crutchfield or Nuforce help you with the DAC part of it. Or, find online/youtube guides to help you. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product Written By dhmosquito, Rapid City, SD on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Since the only audio output on our HDTVs is optical-digital, I needed a means to convert to analog for headphone use for my wife while she works out on a treadmill. Though it's not cheap, this DAC performs perfectly. The sound is crisp and the device is well-constructed. Setup is simple with an optical cable. Thanks to Zac at Crutchfield for suggesting this unit. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NuForce Icon HDP Written By Steve Walker, New York, NY on Friday, February 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good thing to have connected to one's computer. It's a good DAC, and a decent headphone amp, too. I use it connected to my powered Audioengine A2s and my various headphones, including a pair of four figure cans. The sound is eons better than what I got from my stock soundcard (but that is a very unfair comparison). This is not a product I would use for my main rig, but it is not far off. The incredibly small footprint, and combo DAC/Headphone amp are perfect for a second system with one's computer. I am very pleased. Black background when quiet in b/w songs, and clear, crisp sound. I enjoy listening to tunes through the NuForce Icon HDP mucho. Highly recommended. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I had the Dennon Phones on this and they sound great the shure 530 sound great as well . All in all this amp does the job, the dac sounds good, Its nice to be able to use usb for 96/24 Music in such a small package and sound so transparent it is trully a great piece!!

Is there a cutting guide, template, or something available commercially that would allow me to cut small 1/2"-1" holes with my XT40 torch?
I bought the circle cutting guide from Miller, I'm sure it works well, but looking for something that I can use for smaller holes, faster than a drill press.

Just use a piece of plywood and make an over sized template. My TD cutmaster 42's torch for instance has exactly a 1/2" offset from the ceramic cup, so if I wanted to make a 1" hold I would just make the template with a 1 1/2" hole.
But, for holes that small you are probably better off using a hole saw unless you are working with very hard material. Much more accurate and faster.

Sitting in pole position for this year's Formula One title heading to the finale in Abu Dhabi, Fernando Alonso knows plenty about contending with a team-mate for the crown as Red Bull duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel are.
The Ferrari man is in the box seat knowing that if he wins or finishes second he will claim the championship for the third time following his triumphs with Renault in 2005 and '06, regardless of what rivals Webber, Vettel or unlikely contender Lewis Hamilton do.
Three years ago Alonso and then McLaren team-mate Hamilton went into the final round in Brazil competing with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen for the title, with Alonso and Hamilton's season-long in-fighting proving costly as Raikkonen trumped them both by a point to salute.
This year Alonso has 246 points and holds an eight-point lead from Webber (238) while Vettel (231) is 15 adrift and Hamilton (222) 24 back, but all three of the chasing pack can conceivably still win because of the 25 points available to the winner.
While Alonso will be hoping for better than 12 months ago at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix when he finished a distant 14th, for Webber to be victorious at a circuit where he was second last year his best hope is to win the race and have Alonso finish no better than third.
If he doesn't win Webber will still want to be ahead of Vettel because if the Australian finishes runner-up behind his team-mate, as was the case last year, then they would finish level on points and if Alonso was behind them then Vettel would win thanks to five victories to four in 2010.
Webber could finish as low as fifth and still take the crown if Vettel was no better than third and Alonso 10th or worse while Vettel cannot finish any lower than second, which would also require Webber to be fifth or worse and Alonso at least ninth.
The most unlikely of the scenarios revolves around 2008 champion Hamilton, who failed to finish in his first visit to Yas Marina. Hamilton can only be champion again this year if he wins, Vettel is at least third, Webber no better than sixth and Alonso outside the point-scoring top 10.
Ferrari have started the mind games by playing the underdog tag, suggesting Webber and Vettel are at an advantage because they have twice as many options for the title but neither is likely to agree with that claim, nor would Alonso who knows all too well what can go wrong.
"I think we have a great chance to go there and get a good result," said Webber.
"There is a chance of the team getting another championship, which is an exciting proposition."
"There are lots of possible outcomes that could still happen, Fernando (Alonso) is in the best position of all of us, but we still have a chance, so let's see what happens."
"Obviously I have good memories from Abu Dhabi and I will be hoping to get another good result there this year, but let's see," Vettel said.
"There's still everything to play for in the drivers' championship."
This weekend will also mark the end of Japanese manufacturer Bridgestone's 14-year association with the sport, with several years in that spell coming as the sole supplier, before Italian rival Pirelli takes over for 2011.
Webber will be champion if:
- He wins and Alonso is 3rd or worse
- He comes second, Vettel 3rd or worse and Alonso 6th or worse
- He finishes 3rd, Vettel 2nd or worse, Alonso 7th or worse
- He comes fourth, Vettel 2nd or worse, Alonso 9th or worse
- Finish 5th, Vettel's 3rd or worse, Alonso is 10th or worse
Alonso will be champion if:
- He wins
- He finishes 2nd
- He comes 3rd and Webber doesn't win
- He finishes 4th and Webber is 2nd or less
- He comes 5th, neither Vettel or Webber win
- He finishes 6th, Vettel is 2nd and Webber 3rd
- He ends up 7th or 8th, Vettel is second or worse, Webber 4th or worse
- He come 9th, Vettel is 3rd or worse, Webber 5th or worse
- If he doesn't finish, Hamilton must come 2nd or worse, Vettel 3rd or worse, Webber 5th or worse
Vettel will be champion if
- He wins and Alonso is 5th or worse
- He is 2nd, Webber is 5th or worse and Alonso is 9th or worse
Hamilton will be champion if:
- He wins, Vettel is 3rd or worse, Webber is 6th or worse and Alonso doesn't finish in the top 10

text: At first look Nitzan does not look like an intimidating presence, but he is a coach's favourite wherever he goes and for a good reason. A defensive stopper with quick feet, great toughness and a lot of determination are the skills that Nitzan displayed to pave his way to a starting role in the Israeli league and in the past three seasons he has averaged more than 30 minutes-per-game with Rishon Lezion. His shot is not his best weapon, yet his drives, with the help of eye-deceiving athleticism, are always fun to watch when he spots an open lane to the basket. His efficient decision-making together with team play and defence is what coaches love so much about his game.

ETSU takes hard-fought 82-75 win over Mercer
Requires Adobe Flash
For the second straight game, senior Mike Smith collected a career high for scoring, netting 28 points against Mercer.
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 31, 2011)
In a heated battle that included three technical fouls between the two squads, the ETSU men's basketball team overcame Mercer's hot 3-point shooting to take an 82-75 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play Monday evening at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Buccaneers, who improved to 16-8 overall, 11-2 in A-Sun action, got a career high 28 points and eight rebounds from senior guard
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.), while Smith's roommate and fellow senior guard
Micah Williams
(Manchester) netted 23 points. Meanwhile, the Bears - who were playing without two of their top scorers due to knee injuries - shot 12-of-21 (57 percent) from 3-point range to stay in it most of the way. Despite that effort, Mercer fell to 8-15, 5-7 with the loss.
"It was ugly at times, but you we kept winning and that's what matters," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow
, whose team has won 12 of its last 13 games. "Give Mercer credit because they are playing without a lot of their key guys, and other people stepped up for them and made plays. Our seniors continue to get it done for us, and both Mike and Micah are playing at a high level right now."
Along with Smith and Williams, senior guard
Justin Tubbs
(Trussville, Ala.) returned from an injury sustained three games ago to score 13 points and collect eight boards. Mercer was led by a career high 23 points from Justin Cecil, while Mark Hall and Brian Mills contributed 12 and 10 points, respectively.
What has become a heated series in the past continued that way at the outset on Monday, as Mercer's bench received a technical foul midway through the half and ETSU's coaching staff was warned as well. Both teams committed some physical fouls and it resulted in a back-and-forth battle.
The Bears' bad luck continued, though, as their third leading scorer Brandon Moore went down with a right knee injury early in the game. Moore unfortunately joined fellow senior Jeff Smith on the bench, who was the Bears leading scorer before injuring his knee four games ago.
In the first half, the Bucs pulled ahead by seven at 20-13 thanks to a 9-0 run with 12 minutes left on the clock. The Bears responded by outscoring ETSU 14-6 over the next seven minutes to regain the lead on a Brian Mills free throw with 5:02 remaining on the clock.
ETSU finally pulled back ahead and got five straight points from Smith to close out the half and lead 38-34 at the break.
Smith finished with 18 in the first half and ETSU shot 57 percent from both the floor and 3-point range. Meanwhile, Mercer shot 38 percent from the floor and 58 percent from 3-point range. ETSU held a 14-2 edge for points in the paint.
In the second half, Mercer clawed its way back into the game by yet again hitting from outside. After ETSU overcame a technical foul on junior forward
Isiah Brown
(Miami) and ultimately built a 55-47 lead with 12:23 left, but Mercer rallied to hit four straight 3-pointers to tie the game at 59-59.
However, with the score 63-59 in favor of ETSU, Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman was hit with the game's third technical foul. Smith hit both free throws and ETSU connected on another shot from the charity stripe on the ensuing possession to go ahead by seven at 66-59. From there, Williams scored nine of the Bucs' next 10 points to increase the advantage to 77-65 and ETSU never looked back.
For the game, ETSU shot 49 percent from the floor and 56 percent from 3-point range, and held a 39-28 edge in rebounding. Meanwhile, Mercer hit on 57 percent of its 3-point shots.
ETSU will return to action on Friday evening when they take on Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers, Fla. Tip is set for 7 p.m. For more on ETSU basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Lewis Hamilton's first official run in the Mercedes W04 ended in the barriers when a rear brake issue resulted in a crash...
Lewis Hamilton's first official run in the Mercedes W04 ended in the barriers when a rear brake issue resulted in a crash.
Having just posted the second fastest time of the morning to date, Hamilton went straight on at the Dry Sack hairpin and slid into the tyre barriers.
The Mercedes driver climbed unaided from his stricken W04 and gave the marshals a thumbs up as they raced over to check on him. The car, though, did not fare as well as it suffered front-end damage.
Mercedes wrote on Twitter: "Lewis suffered a loss of rear brake pressure, the front brakes enabled him to slow the car but he couldn't avoid the barrier."
The team later added: "We have traced the problem to the hydraulic brake line connecting to the right-rear caliper. The impact with the barrier also damaged the front left corner suspension and associated aero parts."
The incident was Mercedes' second in as many days of testing as, on Tuesday, Nico Rosberg stopped out on track with an electrical problem.
The German's stoppage resulted in unburnt fuel in the exhaust catching fire. He completed just 11 laps, four less than Hamilton managed before his crash.

En español l You can lose your hearing for lots of reasons: age, genetics — and all those blaring rock concerts you attended in your youth.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
More than 26.7 million Americans 50 or older now have trouble hearing. For many people, auditory loss happens so gradually that they barely realize it. Others find that their ears seem to be working fine one day, and not so well the next.
Check out these four common types of hearing problems and what you can do about them.
1. You have trouble hearing people in a noisy restaurant
Why it happens: As you age — especially if you've been exposed to frequent loud noises — you might have presbycusis, a type of gradual hearing loss caused by the death of hair cells in the cochlea, in your inner ear. Those are the cells that translate sound vibrations into brain signals.
"The cochlea contains only 15,000 of these hair cells, and they don't regenerate," says Andrea Boidman, executive director of the Hearing Health Foundation, a research organization in New York. "When they die, it becomes difficult for people to recognize certain sounds or to hear speech clearly."
Difficulty hearing in noisy places is often one of the first noticeable signs of hearing loss. That's because filtering out background noise is a fairly complex process that requires precise auditory input from both ears. Quiet conversations aren't quite so taxing.
How to fix it: Although you can't repair damaged cells, you can prevent further loss by limiting your exposure to loud noises. Most conversations occur between 40 and 60 decibels; any sound higher than 85 decibels puts you at risk. Common culprits include electronic devices like iPods, music players and sound speakers that can blast out as many as 105 decibels.
"Listening to just one loud song can cause immediate damage to hair cells," says Monica Okun, M.D., an ear, nose and throat specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Her advice: If others can hear your iPod while you're using earbuds, the music is too loud.
If your hearing loss is starting to affect your everyday activities, talk to your doctor about a hearing aid. And before you balk, consider this: The newest models are so sleek that they're practically invisible.
"The latest technology effectively reduces background noise while simultaneously enhancing the ability to hear speech more clearly," says Ellen Finkelstein, chief audiologist at East Side Audiology in New York. "People can also hear voices that would be completely inaudible otherwise." For severe hearing loss, you may want to consider cochlear implants. Whereas hearing aids amplify sounds so that damaged ears can detect them, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts and directly stimulate the auditory nerve.
Red flags: People with kidney or heart disease have a higher than average risk of developing presbycusis. Researchers think that may be because poor kidney function leads to the accumulation of toxins that can damage nerves in the inner ear. And cardiovascular disease can decrease blood flow to the inner ear. "Improving kidney or cardiac function won't reverse hearing loss, but it can prevent it from worsening," says Okun. "I recommend getting a formal hearing test if you have either condition." The reverse may be true as well; if you have hearing loss, check your kidney and cardiovascular health.

I love my iPhone 4 to death. I really do. Even if it sucks juice faster than a 1st grader at snack time and I often find myself on low power with a long train ride ahead of me.
I originally made my Altoids USB Charger to use with my iPhone, only to find that Apple being Apple doesn't let it's products play nice with generic USB chargers. I then set out on a long journey to find a cheap charger that would work with an iPhone 4. After sacrificing many a cheap Chinese charger to my garbage can, I eventually found a great little circuit with the added bonus of having a retractable cable.
It's a cheap and easy project to put together and a great gift to give.
*** Update: I've since retired this kit. It's not held up over time very well. I've done an updated version called Solar USB Kit 2.0 and a more rugged version called Lithium Heavy Duty 2.0. If you're looking for something pre made, especially for camping or emergencies, you should try out one of our Folding USB Solar Cells. They're inexpensive and much much more powerful than what you'll find here.
Time: 30-60 minutes
Cost: Under $20
Difficulty: Easy
Step 1: What You Need
Charging Circuit
2x AA Battery Holder
2x Rechargeable Batteries
1N914 Blocking Diode
Solar Cell greater than 4V
Stranded Wire
Altoids Tin
Soldering Iron
Hot Glue Gun
Wire Strippers
Protective Goggles
If you're interested in this project I have kits available on my website, browndoggadgets.com, that have everything you need to make the charger. If you're not one for making things, I sell premade chargers as well.
More than 12% of all profits go to dog and kitty toys. You wouldn't make a kitty cry, would you?
Appreciate the explanation of the non-standard apple implementation of usb charging....which probably explains why other gadgets such as my Garmin GPS and Palm Treo are aggravatingly finicky about their usb power supply..
Also appreciate your browndoggadgets.com site, as a source for small quantities of solar project related parts, that (I assume) have already been experimented with, as to their appropriateness for project/experiments (might suggest putting the wattage on the LEDs though).
One question I had: what would be a good source for the little tabs that one could solder on to NiMH AAA/AA batteries when replacing same in such items as Norelco rechargeable shavers and such? I have found sources for the Heat Wrap (like All-Battery.com) to bind multi-AAA/AA packs and such, but not the metal tabs (which would seem to be more stable/useful than a bit of wire, esp. when putting the battery pack back on the circuit board)..
Thanks again for the great instructable... bet you are one of the favorite teachers at your school..
But you can buy "battery bars" at just about any hobby shop. They come in various sizes, just bring in the cells you want to connect to get the size you need. I have some rather small lightweight copper bars. Bars used in multi cell RC buggy racing (If the jump to LiPo has not been made) are longer and at least an eighth inch thick.
use a Volt/Ohm multimeter with Amps included usually cheap analog or slightly more for digital Most home building supply stores - even wal-mart.
Volt meter and amp meter.
Very much so.
Anything similar would work.
this is awesome! But what if I use a different lightning to usb cable for my apple devices? I prefer the longer ones something like this one ,
http://bit.ly/legitapplecable .
Do you think it will worked? You are awesome man. I think I'd rather do this one than buying a new one. Thanks I will keep you posted after I finished mine.
Use make up one with a standard USB port on it. It's much easier and then works with anything, including a lightning cable.
USB chargers have a USB port, they are generic and work with everything.
Most no name recharagables are 50% at most.
Second tier, what I call name brand generics like Tenergy, yield around 75%+. (They have several lines and I have NOT tested the ones pictured.) Problem with these types is that the ones that test higher tend to drain faster that higher quality batts.
Name brands tend to be in the 90-99%+ range. Rayovac, Energizer, Duracell, etc.
The kings are the Sanyo and Sony Cycle batteries. They test at 100% and the the results are exactly the same for each battery.
-Bottom line is there is NO such thing as a 3000mAh battery as far as I know.
Yeah, but there are 2850 mAh batteries like the ones in the pics.
If you tested the ones in the pictures, I really doubt you'd get near that number. Good luck with it though.
I switched battery suppliers awhile back because their batteries just plain sucked. I now use much better batteries.
If you really want a long and steady charge, switch to Lithium. $15 will get you a charge controller circuit board and a decent lithium battery. Then add on a diode and a solar cell and you're golden.
and then connect a 3.6 volt solar panel directly to the leads on battery case within this device (with a diode on the + side)
Would that work- charging my three AAA batteries from solar panel, while simultaneously also using these AAA batteries to provide a charge to my Iphone?
It looks like it uses a boosting circuit of some kind, as 3 AAA rechargeables does not equal 5V, and a Li-ion would only be 3.7V.
Now you could, in theory, hook up a solar panel to it if it is just a boost circuit. However, you'd want to use something far larger than a 3.6V solar cell as a 3.6V solar cell will NEVER give you 3.6V. You'd want something larger than 5V with at least 200mA of current available.
Plus having batteries is a really good idea. Solar is not consistent, and batteries or a big capacitor helps regulate the flow of power.
Man, now I'm going to have to find one of these and take it apart!
Ok, first let me start off by saying I am very very new to electronics and have absolutely no idea what some of these components. None the less, I still want to build this thing. Now I have 2 AA rechargeable batteries, the blocking diode (which I don't know how to install) and pretty much everything else on the list, EXCEPT 1 THING; the charging circuit. Since I said before I have no experience, I was wondering how I can get/make this circuit. Is their a detailed instruction on exactly how to do this? PLEASE help me.

Then, when a guy like Madoff gets caught with a Ponzi scheme in the economic crisis, he is vilified and sent to prison. Good, right? (I'm not defending him, I'm using this as an academic example). However, when AIG or the government does the EXACT SAME THING, what happens? We print more money and dump it into the top of the pyramid. And that's the "right thing to do".
I hear ya man. I was in favor of lining up the leaders of AIG and ass raping them with a chainsaw. But...Justice only prevails in the movies. *Shrug*
But I still think that software is the make or break point for the topic. Does it do what I want, and does it do it well? That is the primary question IMO.
For most of the (heard) typical end users (sheeple) that don't have a clue what any of those cryptic letters and numbers actually mean. The sales (drone) person can tell (spin) them any version of the "truth" that will close the sale. Only thing the user has to gauge with is the UI, and how easy it is to navigate when they start poking at it with a finger.
Hell, I've done it a few times. Stroll up to a counter, pickup a new unfamiliar device, and try to open a web page. It should be simple as bloody hell... But it ain't. Not consistently. Next test is to close the browser & open a text file. If I gotta hunt for an off button, Fail!. The UI is either completely obvious ... Or it's completely garbage ... There is no middle ground.
Numbers is nice, but the UI decides if money changes hands.

Saturday, November 22, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 22, 2003) - In East Tennessee State's final game in program history, junior kicker Jonathan Godfrey (Johnson City, Tenn.) kicked a game-winning 22-yard field goal with two seconds remaining, and senior tailback Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.) rushed for a career-high 197 yards as the Bucs defeated The Citadel, 16-13, Saturday afternoon from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn. The Citadel (6-6, 4-4 Southern Conference) got on the board first, as quarterback Willie Simmons hit wideout Jermaine Anderson for a five-yard touchdown. The play capped a 15-play, 77-yard drive that took 7:34 off of the clock. Simmons was 6-fo-6 passing on the first drive, and completed his first seven passes of the game. East Tennessee State (5-7, 2-6 SoCon) charged right back on the shoulders of Varner. Out of a 10-play, 80-yard drive, Varner rushed eight times for 32 yards. The drive was punctuated by an 18-yard touchdown run on a draw by redshirt freshman quarterback Carl Meadows (Cumming, Ga.). It was Meadows' second rushing touchdown in the last two weeks, as he also scored on a draw play last Saturday in a victory over The Citadel. The Bucs missed the extra point, making the score 7-6 with 14:10 remaining in the first half. The Citadel kicker Travis Zobel pushed the Bulldog lead to 10-6 with a 25-yard field goal with just one second left in the half. The Citadel ended up with the ball in good field position for the final drive of the second quarter following a wild exchange of turnovers. With 1:26 remaining, ETSU fumbled a Zobel punt, giving the Bulldogs the ball at the 39 of the Bulldogs. Two plays later, Buccaneer senior safety Montreal Harkley (Hanahan, S.C.) intercepted his first of two passes of the day at the ETSU 27. The Bucs then put together a short drive before Meadows was sacked by Julian West, who forced a fumble that was recovered by Marcus Cohen at the ETSU 43. Simmons then put together a quick six-play, 35-yard drive that led to the field goal. "This was a tough game, but both teams were sloppy," said The Citadel head coach Ellis Johnson. "The key to the game was we got whipped at the line on offense and defense." Zobel then put the Bulldogs up by seven points with a 30-yard field goal to open the third quarter. There were two pivotal plays on the drive, a Buccaneer personal foul before a third and seven and a 20-yard pass by wide receiver Scooter Johnson to running back Ern Mills after a lateral from Simmons. On the ensuing drive, ETSU tied the game at 13 on an eight-yard play-action pass from Meadows to senior fullback Nick Spearman (Summerville, S.C.) with 3:28 left in the third quarter. Varner rushed four times for 21 yards on the drive, but the most important play was a 51-yard strike from Meadows to sophomore wideout Frank Green (Moncks Corner, S.C.). Although they only scored three points in the fourth, East Tennessee State dominated the final quarter of play. The Citadel held the ball for 4:08 in the fourth, gaining 17 yards on only nine plays. The Bucs, on the other hand, gained 124 yards on 23 plays, holding the ball for 10:52. The Citadel defense did their best to keep the Bucs off the board, causing what could have been a key turnover as the Bucs were looking to score midway through the fourth. After Meadows had led a 13-play, 50-yard drive down to The Citadel's 11, Bulldog defensive lineman Antwuan Hill forced Meadows to fumble on another draw play, and the ball was recovered by Hill at the seven. But the Bucs got the ball back on their own 12 with 4:24 remaining on the clock, and turned to Meadows and Varner to pull out the victory. Varner carried the ball seven times for 31 yards on the drive, and Meadows connected with sophomore wideout Brian Matthews (Georgetown, S.C.) on a 51-yard pass that set up Godfrey's 22-yard attempt. When the kick split the uprights, pandemonium ensued, but The Citadel still had a chance at a kick return with two seconds remaining. The Bulldogs attempted to lateral the ball, but it was fumbled and nearly returned for a touchdown by sophomore fullback Andre Brooks (Greenville, S.C.). Brooks returned the ball 22 yards before being dragged down from behind at the two-yard line. Varner had a sensational day for the Bucs, tying a career-high with 37 carries and his 197 yards on the ground ties him for seventh in ETSU history for most single-game rushing yards. With 1,199 yards on the season, Varner finishes third on the Buccaneer single-season rushing list. Mills led the Bulldogs with 42 yards on 16 carries, as the Bucs held The Citadel to just 53 yards on the ground on 28 carries. "Ern (Mills) ran well, but over the last few weeks, we have struggled at the line," said Johnson following the game. Meadows had a strong day, completing 11-of-21 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 24 yards on five carries and another score. Simmons also played well for The Citadel, connecting on 22-of-37 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown, but throwing two interceptions. Green had a career-high 71 receiving yards on two catches for the Bucs, while he, Matthews, Varner and senior tight end Randy Grubb (Pulaski, Va.) each caught two passes in the win. Anderson had a game-high six catches for the Bulldogs while Bud Pough hauled in five passes for 70 yards. ETSU held The Citadel's leading receiver, Johnson, to just eight yards on one reception. Senior linebacker Matt Palmer (Summerton, S.C.) concluded his stellar season, leading ETSU with 10 tackles. He added three tackles for loss, running his SoCon leading and Buccaneer record TFL total to 25.5. Senior linebacker Tate Pittman (Mechanicsville, Va.), junior safety Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.), junior cornerback Allen Davis (Mullins, S.C.) and sophomore cornerback Jeff Mitchell (Knoxville, Tenn.) tied for second on the team with six tackles on the afternoon. Senior nose tackle Brandon Calton (Pennington Gap, Va.) had five tackles on the day, two for losses. Bulldog linebacker James Greene had an excellent game, turning in a game-high 13 tackles, 12 solos. Travis Hodge and Jeff Townsend each had 10 tackles for The Citadel. When asked how he felt about today's victory, ETSU head coach Paul Hamilton turned the focus toward the Buccaneer players, past and present. "This is all about those guys in the locker room," Hamilton commented. "I wanted to see smiles on their faces today. Also, the guys that wore this ETSU uniform that played here in the past mean a lot to me. I want them to see today's score and feel proud."

Hey people! Ive been tearing my hair out the last hour or so trying to make this macro work.
This is the part of the macro that works;
/cast [nomodifier,@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Flash Heal
It casts FH on my mouseover if i have any and it casts on myself if i dont have any. Simple enough!
NOW it starts to act up. I want it to work with additional spells like this;
/cast [nomodifier,@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Flash Heal; [modifier:shift,@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Renew; [modifier:ctrl,@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] Prayer of Mending
My logic tells me that it should work fine if i just change the "nomodifier" to "modifier:shift" for it to work like a charm. But it doesnt.
It only casts the first spell in the macro and completely ignores my modifiers.
Anyone out there that can tackle this mess?
Thanks in advance!
