Any disadvantages to the Mark II over 1Ds
May 22, 2004, 01:39:32 PM »
[font color=\'#000000\']The "disadvantages," if one could really call it that, are that the 1D Mark II has eight megapixels of photosites and the 1DS has 11. The other "disadvantage," but only to the landscape or architectural shooter is that the 1D Mark II has a 1.3x reduced field of view.
On the other hand, the Mark II shoots 8 plus frame per second, has a huge buffer, has greater dynamic range, and looking at the 1.3x reduced field of view from the wildlife or sports photographer's perspective has the 30 percent telephoto "boost" effect.
Both will autofocus reliably at F8.....

[font color=\'#000000\']This means that at least in theory a manufacturer could design a lens with a variable aperture which could shift during the exposure and tap the "potential" for much greater dynamic range latent in the sensor.[/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']Lin,
Can you elaborate on this! Seems to me an aperture that varies
the exposure will simply give you one average exposure and solve nothing with regard to dynamic range. You need at least two separate exposures (I guess this is what you meant).
Two exposures with different f stops will need software similar to Helicon Focus to combine the different DoFs and I see that as problematical since parts of the two images might consist of a well exposed out-of-focus patch which has to be merged with a severely underexposed in-focus patch also deficient in detail for different reasons.
Two exposures with different shutter speeds is the usual approach (or 3 with autobracketing), but requires the subject to be static.
Those who own good RAW conversion software, such as Capture One or Adobe Camera Raw (V.2 or later) can get (roughly) a couple of stops of extra dynamic range out of a single exposure using the following procedure.
(1) Overexpose the image by one stop.
(2) Use exposure compensation during conversion to recover highlight detail.
(3) Do a second conversion but this time move EC the opposite direction, say +3 stops, to create an image with maximum detail in the shadows but completely blown out highlights. (It's probably advisable to move the NR and Luminance Smoothing controls to their maximum also.)
(4) Combine the two images with a 'digital blending' technique. Michael has a tutorial on this.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']For example, it "could" be that the processor is dumped between exposures to a buffer then later combined but I'm suspicious that it may be done differently.[/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']Lin,
However it's done, it's clear that each photodetector can only hold so many electrons. Once the 'wells' are full, they're full. No more exposures can be made without clearing the charge.
The multiple exposures possible with your S7000Z must be transferred to some sort of buffer, I would imagine. But the question does arise, how fast can the charge be cleared and the sensor reset for another exposure? If it's virtually instantaneous, then there is a clear advantage over autobracketing. For example, if you need 1/30th sec exposure for the shadows in a contrasty scene, which represents say a 3 stop overexposure with regard to the highlights, then the other exposure need be only 1/250th (call it 1/240th for simplification). The combined exposure of a 30th plus a 240th is 9/240ths or approx 1/26th sec. With Canon's Image Stabilisation one could probably get some reasonably sharp hand-held shot at this shutter speed, and if not then just increase the ISO.
Also, combining RAW images in camera should potentially produce better results than digitally blending converted TIFs in PS. I'm all in favour of such a development. I live in a place with lots of sunshine and dark forests. I'm constantly battling with dynamic range issues.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']
But bracketing with multiple exposures and blending the exposures must, by default, mean that the sensor has the latitude of "holding" the full dynamic range you are able to achieve with the blend of two or more exposures.
The reason you bracket is precisely because the sensor DOESN'T have the capacity to hold the full dynamic range. You overexpose and let the bright parts clip on one shot and you underexpose and let the shadows be black on the other shot and you blend to give you the best combination.
As for doing this all automatically in the camera; maybe as a gimmick for consumer cameras this would be better than nothing to increase dynamic range, but all this processing to create and blend two exposures would have to take some time and during that time camera motion would be even more critical than for normal single exposure shooting.
As for a previous comment that this automatic in camera double exposure and blending being potentially superior to bracketing and saving both raw images for later blending; NO WAY! Even without the obvious problem that this procedure would have to take some time, and thus be even more sensitive to camera motion, there's also the problem that you have no good visual feedback to see if it really worked right; just a littly tiny LCD camera display. Blending two images in Photoshop gives you lots of options for exactly how to do the blend and thus getting the best possible blend and you can see exactly what you have for each trial.
In any case 1d and 1ds are both pro cameras and fortunately not burdened with a kluge like automatic in camera double exposure and blending.
Fuji Finepix technology increases dynamic range by having a low sensitivity sensor and a high sensitivity sensor for each pixel location, but for some reason this has not yet been implemented for any pro camera. Probably doesn't actually work as well as the hype would lead you to believe.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Hi Ray,
It "appears" to simply slow to the rate you have set manually and keep chugging. I'm not sure if there are any statistics about this available - nothing in the manual.
I suspect it does much the same if you were shooting in aperture priority mode or auto.
Best regards,[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']This might be taking the topic even further afield.
If we invented a sensor with an A/D converter for each pixel, and monitored in real time the rate at which each pixel gathered light during the exposure, then it seems like we could select when to grab the intensity of each pixel during the exposure. We could grab the bright values sooner and the dark values later. Effectively, we would be exposing for the rate at which light is gathered by the sensor rather than by fixing the time and reading the absolute exposure after that fixed time. The response curve could be dynamically determined during the exposure while avoiding either overexposed highlights or underexposed shadows, as long as the exposure was long enough to gather light for the shadows. With this, you wouldn't set exposure on the camera, only aperture.
Of course, we could take this one step further. At each pixel, we could record the entire light gathering curve over time during the exposure and post process this into the image. Perhaps this is what cameras will do 10 years from now... You could think of this as watching a photo print in the developer in the darkroom emerge from blank paper and controlling during when to stop the developer by painting stop on parts of the print when you were satisfied with the luminance.
Hmmm... I wonder if I should patent this idea ... :-)[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Actually the challenge of increasing dynamic range by measuring the relative times it takes for a large number of megapixels to fill up would require a time measuring device far greater than a billionth of a second. Each extra stop of exposure is going to blow an increasing percentage of the photosites. If you want a hand-held shot with a telephoto, even with IS, you probably need 1/250. If a certain number of photodetectors are going to 'fill up' within say half the exposure time, ie 1/500th, and you can time those events, then you gain 1 stop in dynamic range. If a smaller quantity fills up whithin 1/1000th sec, you gain another stop, and if a yet smaller quantity fills up in 1/2000th sec, you gain 3 extra stops of DR, and so on.
For such a system to be worthwhile, you might need to time the relative fill-up rate of, say 3 megapixels within 1/4000th of a second, not to mention the time it takes to apply an algorithm to the different rates.
It might be possible

[font color=\'#000000\']I was looking at getting the 10D but now am considering the 1D Mark II. Are there any disadvantages to the Mark II over the 1Ds? I know that you can't go above a f/5.6 on the 10D, how about the Mark II? Also any thing that should make me want to stick with the 10D over the Mark II? Except for the price [/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']"greater dynamic range"
How does one know? Seems like there should be some easy way to measure dynamic range. (Maybe there is and I'm not aware.)
When I look at a 'test strip' on my CRT vs. LCD monitor I see more 'steps' on the CRT - the LCD doesn't have the range to let me discriminate between the steps at the ends. Can't something such as this be used with digitals?[/font]

"greater dynamic range"
From the great amount of reading I've done about this, the bottom line is that all these sensors (with maybe Fuji FinePix excluded) have the same dynamic range. It's locked into the basic technology. If your camera can shoot and save raw, then with proper conversion and processing you'll have the maximum dynamic range possible for digital camera sensors (better than slide film; not as good as negative film).
As for 1ds vs whatever. For today's ultimate DSLR quality no one contests that 1ds has no rivals and the advantages have already been mentioned. I could mention another consideration, however. There's places I simply would not take such an expensive camera, like for example traveling extensively in third world countries using public transportation and staying in cheap hotels. I could recover from having a $2000 outfit stolen, but $6000 for a camera body alone would be a big hit. In a place like India $6000 represents several years of income for many people, and therefore a huge temptation.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Well, I've been going to India very regularly since 1972 and for some time I've been spending 6 months out of the year in Bombay. I love the culture and basic human and family values and the people of India more deeply than I can say and the incredible experiences of generosity, hospitality and honesty and simple unassuming affection have been far more impressive than any experiences of scams and deception. Home is where the heart is and my heart is in India no less than here. However, with so many people and so many extremely poor people, even a very small minority of dishonest people still means a lot of dishonest people. Reading an Indian newspaper is as appalling and depressing as any US newspaper. I wouldn't leave something valuable exposed at the Delhi main railway station for a second and I sleep on top of any valuables on a second class train. Thieves may not know specific models of cameras, but they'd be able to see that something like an eos 1ds is not a point and shoot. I've witnessed flat out jewelry grabbing theft on trains and I know people that have been ripped off in various ways in India. In some third world countries I'd have some concern for my personal safety if I were carrying anything obviously valuable.
You only need to lose a $6000+ camera once to ruin your whole day. If I get into serious photography in India (so far my long stays have been all business or visiting a spiritual retreat) I'll take my brother's eos 10d and Sigma 24-70, not my own 1ds and a bunch of expensive lenses.
In case you want to read something totally off topic, you can check out the India page on my website, about my experiences with my Indian business partner and our employees. Nothing but positive, beautiful, incredible experiences and impressions.

This is only true of consumer fixed lens sensors. The sensors used in pro level equipment vary from a bit over 8 stops to 12 stops. Canon's Director of Technical Services - Camera Division, U.S.A., Chuck Westfall says that Canon has measured the 1DS at greater than 8 and less than 9 stops of dynamic range. The 1D Mark II was measured at > 9 stops. Digital scanning backs such as BetterLight, etc., have up to 12 stops per manufacturers.
Now - the issue is measurement and how it's done and whether one uses the capacty of the sensor or the capacity of the sensor with a single exposure (not the same thing) in measurement. Who knows.....[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Hi Gary,
Yes, it's difficult to know exactly how the measurements were made and even more difficult to set a standard for these things which in some way equates to a film base which some have a better feel for.
One thing is certain, sensors have the ability to hold more dynamic range than can be captured with a single exposure aperture. With my Kodak DCS-760 and using Kodak software, it's very easy to go two stops beyond the apparent DR in the capture. Even more important is the fact that one may expose for highlights, shoot, expose for shadows and shoot an identical frame, then combine the two frames in software producing a result which has a couple stops more than can be obtained by a single RAW exposure and combining two conversions using the extremes of exposure compensation.
This means that at least in theory a manufacturer could design a lens with a variable aperture which could shift during the exposure and tap the "potential" for much greater dynamic range latent in the sensor.
Best regards,[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Hi Ray,
Two separate exposures later combined or two frames as a "double" exposure without dumping the first before the second occurs with the "combine" operation occuring in firmware would essentially be the same. Actually, it's already been done by Fuji (allowing double exposure) except it requires two presses of the shutter. What I'm theorizing is that it would be possible to combine electronically the the steps of exposure capture, different exposure capture with a single press of the shutter, especially since the majority of digital instruments with the exception of CMOS sensors have an electronic shutter anyway. Even the Canon EOS-1D only uses the mechanical shutter essentially to protect the sensor and gets its 1/500th flash sync and 1/16,000th shutter speed via the electronic shutter.
As it is presently, it takes two exposures to really take advantage of the entire dynamic range potential of the sensor. The down side is that we must combine the two in software selecting the appropriate portions of each for the final extended dynamic range composite. By combining the steps in an electronic sensor it "seems" that it would be fairly easy to accomplish much the same thing thing with a single press of the shutter and let the electronic switching and firmware take care of the remainder.
Hewlett-Packard already has a firmware feature on their consumer digicam which essentially duplicates the PhotoShop CS "shadow/highlight" function, and this approach could be used with the double exposure feature such as Fuji offers in some models to render a greatly enhanced dynamic range photo. Just meter on the highs, meter on the lows (sort of like the 1D Mark II offers) and press the shutter once rendering a double exposure processed entirely within firmware.
I don't know enough about the internals of present sensor technology to be certain this is possible, but it certainly seems logical to me that it could be done.

[font color=\'#000000\']Hi Ray,
I'm not certain of exactly how the process works. For example, it "could" be that the processor is dumped between exposures to a buffer then later combined but I'm suspicious that it may be done differently.
Let's take an example. The image below is from one of my Fuji digicams (S7000Z) which has the "multiple exposure" feature. You shoot, then you use the toggle switch to make a decision about saving the image to the card or continuing. You press the right arrow on the toggle, expose and shoot a second time or third or Fuji says "no limit" then when you are finished with exposures you press the center "O.K." portion of the multi-switch and only then is the file written to the card.
I'm assuming that if it were being written to a buffer there would be a very small number of exposures possible before filling - especially at the 12 megapixel interpolated file size on the S7000Z. But I've made dozens of exposures just for the sake of experimentation and there seems to be no limit. I just shot three quick exposures each at a different focal length for the image below. It would seem that this type technology combined with what HP does with "shadow/light" could possibly be used to greatly expand dynamic range to the limits of the sensor's ability to hold detail at the tails of the curve???

[font color=\'#000000\']I don't care what amazing reports of vast latitude there are for any sort of digital sensor. I share the skepticism about these claims and how they were arrived at. I figure to always go out with a tripod and to do bracketed shots if I have the slightest doubt. Blending in Photoshop is quick and easy and bomb-proof with the $20 Miranda plug. Compact flash at $200 for 4 gb means you can "waste" lots and lots and lots of shots in the field, even if you only save raw and you don't bother to delete anything until you download.
Better way too many pictures than any great shot that doesn't have all the latitude you thought it ought to have had. Canon nerds won't sponsor your next trip to re-shoot!![/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']You might have noticed, Didger, I also wrote that such blending software in-camera would have to be
good. Everything takes time, but as processor speeds increase and buffer sizes increase, saving two RAW images and/or shunting them off to a separate buffer for blending should eventually be possible in the blink of an eye.
You don't need visual feedback if the software or firmware is working properly, considering the exceptionally high dynamic range of the combined images, and I see no reason why the camera should be more sensitive to motion. The concept is that it should be
sensitive to motion because the time interval between exposures is reduced. Such a system should allow hand-held dual shots more often. The problem with my D60 is that autobracketing takes over a full second. I don't think the 1Ds is much faster. Fortunately the two shots that are the most useful (the underexposed and the overexposed) are consecutive, so the total exposure time from the beginning of one shot to the end of the next is probably often less than a second, but not by much. Even with a tripod, that's not ideal. A lot of movement can take place within a second

Odijoo will be SCORM Compliant in a week!Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
We're happy to announce that we are now in the final stages of making Odijoo SCORM Compliant. Everything is ready and set up on our test servers and we are now in the process of testing things out to make sure they work like they're supposed to.
Here's a sneak peak at the SCORM integration with Odijoo (click on a thumbnail for full-sized version):
In the meantime, here are answers to a few FAQs we've been getting:
What is SCORM?
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a global standard for packaging eLearning content. It allows users to export and import their previously authored online courses and course data, created via an external authoring tool, into any SCORM-Compliant Learning Management System, such as Odijoo.
How do I create a SCORM Course?
To create a SCORM course, simply use a SCORM-Compliant authoring tool and export it as a SCORM Compliant course. Most of the top tools for creating online course-ware are SCORM Compliant. These include: Articulate, Lectora, Adobe Presenter, Click2Learn/Toolbook.
What capabilities will SCORM bring to Odijoo?
Odijoo's integration with SCORM will enable Odijoo course creators with previously-authored SCORM-compliant courses to import their courses into their own Odijoo Classrooms and Campuses, with just a few clicks.
How Easy is Importing a SCORM course into Odijoo?
Very easy! Simply click "Import SCORM Course" from the course author menu, select your course, play around with the settings and you're ready!
Once I Import a SCORM Course into Odijoo, what can I do with it?
Once the course is imported, it can be added to an Odijoo Classroom. An Odijoo Classroom is a combination of one or more pieces of course material (ie SCORM courses, Odijoo courses, PowerPoint slides), resources (ie quizzes, discussion boards, completion reports, media) and students. Creating a classroom is simple and allows you to administer and teach your online courses to learners.
How will SCORM Make Odijoo Better?
SCORM's integration with Odijoo will make Odijoo the first-ever SaaS-based, SCORM-Compliant eLearning platform to give users course authoring, publishing and monetization capabilities from their own unique URL, called an Odijoo Campus. Whether you: (a) already have previously authored SCORM content, (b) want to create an interactive course from scratch within Odijoo, or (c) simply want to import some PowerPoint slides and instantly convert them to course-ware, Odijoo will provide you with the service you need, for free.
What is the Cost to Import a SCORM course into Odijoo?
Free! Almost everything in Odijoo is free. There are only two situations in which we charge. For more information, click here.

Houston Alumni Tour Battleship Texas
Group Photo: (left to right): Peter Bryn '06, Adam Van Doren '08, Joel Sodowsky '96, Valerie Smyser (Joel's friend), Beth Ferguson '05, Luke Anderson, Masumi Koster (Tom's wife), Tom Koster '67, Bob Conachey '80, Shirley Conachey.
On Saturday afternoon, March 19th, seven Webb Alumni and four of their guests attended a tour of the Battleship Texas, BB 35, built in 1912 by Newport News Shipyard. It was converted in the mid 1920s from coal-fired to oil-fired, and further converted in the 1940s for service in WW II. The tour was suggested by Tom Gillette '52, who is a volunteer docent for the ship.
Since the ship was decommissioned in 1948, it has been berthed at the San Jacinto Battle Ground State Park, alongside the Houston Ship Channel, under the care of Texas Parks and Wildlife. Five times a year the Park — with the assistance of volunteer docents like Tom Gillette — conducts special hard hat tours of areas not normally accessible to the general public. One of the two engine rooms, with its 14,000 hp triple expansion reciprocating propulsion engine which had formally been open to the public, has been closed for the past two years for maintenance, but Tom Gillette arranged for a special tour of this area for the Webb group in advance of its re-opening.
Other areas of the ship visited included the inside of its No. One 14 inch gun turret, the bridge, damage control center, one main switch gear and generator area, main gun battery fire control center, main radio, one of the three boiler rooms, a powder/projectile magazine, turret loading area, and aft steering (see areas highlighted on the ship profile).
Three generations of naval architecture/marine engineering could be seen in some of these areas: the 1910 as-built hull and propulsion equipment; the mid '20s conversion from coal to oil-fired boilers, and the 1940s conversion for WW II.
All of the docents were enthusiastic and well-grounded in technical knowledge, and they gave excellent presentations which were clear and interesting even to the non-naval architects in the group. The pace of the tour did not give much time for socializing, but we will try to remedy that in future events.
The tour resulted in a $600 contribution to the ship maintenance fund, well appreciated by the docents in these hard economic times. An ambitious but necessary plan to build a graving dock so the 100-year-old hull can be spared further corrosion has been proposed, but with all the talk of budget cuts it is likely that will be postponed.

Redwood City Reinforces Ban on Fireworks, Reminds Public That Shooting Guns in Celebration is Illegal, Dangerous
Redwood City, CA - June 21, 2010 – The Redwood City Fire Department and Police Department are reminding the community of the City's absolute ban on fireworks, and that shooting a gun in the air in celebration is illegal, and dangerous.
Fireworks are the cause of thousands of fires and injuries throughout the United States on the 4th of July, as well as during the days before and after this holiday. These fires and injuries are preventable, when people comply with local laws prohibiting the use of fireworks. The International Fire Code adopted by the City of Redwood City prohibits any type of fireworks, including the so-called "safe and sane" variety. The only permitted use of fireworks is for professional fireworks shows.
Celebrating the 4th of July by shooting a gun into the air is not only illegal; it can hurt or kill people. The Redwood City Police Department uses a "Shot Spotter" gunshot locater system, which determines the location of any firearm discharged in the city. The reckless discharge of a firearm is a felony under section 246.3 of the Penal Code and carries up to a three-year prison sentence. A gunshot telephone hotline is available at (650) 780-7639, which the public is urged to call in the event gunfire is heard, particularly during the 4th of July holiday.
Redwood City Police and Fire staff will be making an extraordinary effort this year to be on the lookout for fireworks and gunshots throughout the 4th of July holiday period. Any person caught in possession of fireworks will have them confiscated and will be subject to a citation. Fireworks obtained in other jurisdictions may not be brought into or used within Redwood City. The Police Department will investigate and track down any individuals shooting guns into the air. Arrests will be made when possible and violators will be booked at San Mateo County Jail.
Fireworks are illegal in most parts of San Mateo County, and other jurisdictions share Redwood City's desire to maintain a safe 4th of July holiday. To fully inform the community of Redwood City's prohibition on fireworks, all main roadway entrances into the City will be posted with a sign saying "No Fireworks in Redwood City." The signs feature bright red letters on a white background to make them very visible to passing motorists. The City's goal in this effort is for the community to have a safe, fun 4th of July holiday, and to prevent fire or injury incidents related to fireworks.

I got back to Europe a few days ago. It was a long, emotional but overall successful trip to America.
When I arrived there my ranking was really low, but now I'm at least back in the top 40 and am confident I can rise much higher during my remaining tournaments.
At the same time, I am not thinking too much about rankings: I've always believed that if you concentrate on improving your game and winning matches, the rankings take care of themselves. Still, at least I don't have to ask for anymore wild cards!
I said it in New York after losing against Kim: I feel I've been playing well for a while now and making great improvements in training, but it was maybe hard for others to believe it without the results.
Now I've had a few good wins in my last two tournaments and I'm definitely moving in the right direction. But I'm still far from where I want to be.
My upcoming tournaments in Asia - Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing - are a good opportunity to achieve some consistency, and hopefully compete for some titles again.
I enjoyed visiting each city in America, even San Diego where I lost in the first round, which was definitely the low point of the trip.
I liked both Stanford and New Haven very much. They felt a little bit similar, probably because they are both university cities, and Cincinnati was, I think, a turning point for me, so I have good memories from there as well. It's going to be tough to decide which tournaments to play next summer, because right now I want to play them all!
I'm feeling much happier and more confident on the court and I am looking forward to continuing on this path. It's only a week or so until my next tournament.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Senior Honors Thesis/Project?
The Senior Honors Thesis/Project is a 6-credit-hour project that may be either a traditional research project, a creative project such as a novel or play, or an applied project such as a training manual or handbook.
Is the thesis required for all Honors students?
No, the Senior Honors Thesis/Project is an option for most Honors students. Students who choose to complete a thesis graduate with Honors (varying notations depend on GPA and number of Honors experiences). Those students who complete all of their Honors experiences graduate with the distinction "Honors College Scholar."
Who should complete a thesis?
All students may benefit from the opportunity to work on a sustained individual project, but those students who plan to attend graduate school will find the thesis especially valuable.
How many credit hours is a Senior Honors Thesis/Project?
The Senior Honors Thesis/Project is a total of 6 credit hours. Students choose how to distribute these credit hours across academic terms.
Who chooses my thesis topic?
Students, in consultation with their faculty advisor, devise their own thesis topics or projects. Most often a topic is formulated during the thesis preparation semester, although sometimes students have identified the topic even earlier.
When should I begin my thesis?
Students typically begin their thesis in the spring of their junior year (or the third semester before graduation) with the two-credit-hour thesis proposal. At the end of that semester, students submit their thesis proposal and enroll for the remaining four credit hours during their final two semesters.
How long does it take to complete a thesis?
The Senior Honors Thesis/Project is typically completed over three semesters. Occasionally, students who also plan to study away may complete the thesis in two semesters, with permission of the thesis coordinator. In some instances, students will take more than three semesters to complete the thesis.
How long does my thesis have to be?
Since the thesis is a 6-credit-hour project, it may be as long as 80-120 pages in verbal fields such as history or English. Theses in psychology or in the sciences are typically 40-60 pages in length as much of the work happens to be in the laboratory.
What needs to be included in a creative Senior Honors Thesis/Project?
Students who write novels, poetry collections, produce a film or painting series, or complete any other creative thesis must also include in their final manuscript a chapter devoted to critical analysis of their creative project.
Where can I find out more information about the Senior Honors Thesis/Project?
The Honors College hosts Thesis Information meetings each semester. Check the thesis page on the Honors website for meeting dates. Students can also download the Senior Honors Thesis Handbook from the Honors website. Contact the thesis coordinator, Victoria Bocchicchio, at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 330-672-2312 if you wish to talk about specific questions and/or your plans for a thesis.

Wish I bought a different one
By military daughter
from boston, ma
I can't believe none of the reviews talk about the paper tape on the front and back of the glass, it's impossible to remove.Name plate engraving isn't deep and pronounced enough. Finally found the nameplate on the front of the shipping box after reading other reviews here.Very sad with my purchase. Wanted to honor my dad with his flag and this surely isn't the way.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent engraving and quality
By Pammy57
from Guntersville, AL
About Me Homeowner, Professional
This flag case was bought, to put my husband's grandfather's military funeral flag in. I was very impressed that WD offered an extra line of engraving, and to be able to put his last ranking-Brig.Gen., next to the branch of service. It is of good quality for the price, and will be displayed in the living room, next to a potrait of him.
Very well done

from Keystone Heights, FL
Great offer for deceased veterans familes.
By NLW
from Schaghticoke, NY
I bought this case for a 5' x 9.5' veteran's burial flag.It was the perfect size. The wood has a nice rich color to it.
A nice display, and safe storage.
By Jen
from Knoxville,TN
My first ever to puchase, and Walter Drake provided such an item.
Looks Nice
By Jane
from San Juan
It took a while for the product to arrive, but it looked nice for it's purpose. Haven't put the flag inside yet, so I don't know if it fits well. Certainly hope so. The case looks good and so does the plate. It would be nice to include instructions on how to fold the flag in a triangular shape.
Excellent product
By ivvman
from Orange County
Arrived promptly, note that the engraved plac is on the outside of the boxes with the packing slip.
Nice Case

Would order again

Flag Case missing nameplate
By Donna Marie
from Brooksville, FL
I ordered it to display my father's flag, as it matched the one he had for his father. It came with the instructions how to open it INSIDE the flag case, and the engraved name plate never made it on the case, nor was it anywhere in the box. I am upset, as that was one of the reasons it was supposed to take so long to ship, yet it didn't come as promised.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.

Recently decided to solve the problem: Turned out that it was the same problem described in this thread
But the problem is now with Microsoft Security Essentials (I changed antivirus since last time). Excluding ini files in MSE's "Settings" didn't seem to be enough and so I decided to exclude farr's process entirely from MSE's scans. That did it. No more freezes.
Now... I'm wondering how bad does this affect farr's user experience in general : so many people use MSE, I'm certainly not the only one experiencing long farr freezes (I'm on a 3y old laptop, 2.2ghz core2duo). In my case, the freezes were long enough to make me think of installing something else, even after years of use and enthusiasm. If I was new to farr I might have just dumped it right away for something that felt speedier.
Maybe something in the installation process, or somewhere VERY obvious should warn the user? Dunno...
Farr doesn't deserve to look bad because of some ill-mannered AV.

Great Gadgets for Giving, Part I
If you're in a "present" panic , I thought it would be fun to share with you some innovative products and inspiring organizations that may be a perfect fit for your gift list. It is also a great way to celebrate entrepreneurship by supporting Made in the USA products and U.S. companies. The following gifts, gadgets, and giving opportunities are my salute to ingenuity. These organizations and companies are either founded by veterans or have a great track record of supporting our military community. Happy shopping and be sure to stay tuned for Part II and III.
Get Centered
I met Jodi Delaney of VetsYoga a few weeks ago and have been really excited to share her information with you. She has a brand new video out specifically tailored to our military veterans and personnel. I've always enjoyed yoga so I was excited to give this program a go. Yoga is a great exercise for reducing stress and improving flexibility, balance and strength. VetsYoga has taken the health benefits of yoga a step further as a complement to those suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you're a little freaked out by the thought of doing yoga, don't worry, this practice isn't about religion or chanting. It's about breathing, balance, strength and relaxation.
I jumped right into the 45 minute workout and found the instruction to be simple and easy to follow. The moves are very basic which is perfect for beginners and those already familiar with yoga. The pace was excellent — neither rushed nor too slow. Other programs I've done focus on intensity and speed and I don't think that's the intent of a well-rounded yoga practice especially for this application. It begins with a warmup then goes into power moves with awesomely named positions like Warrior, Cobra, and Mountain. From there you move to balance and stretching moves. Even though the final relaxation segment was only about 5 minutes long it was so relaxing I felt like I had just slept for 8 hours! Afterwards I watched the introduction (which I recommend you do first) which contained compelling testimonies from Gulf War and Iraq War veterans featured in the video. I did the 30 minute relaxation section before bed as a wind-down from a long day. All in all, the program is exceptionally simple and effective.
I highly recommend it for everyone. As always, be sure to talk with your health care professional before starting a new fitness program and mind the cautions at the beginning of the video for anyone with knee or joint issues. VetsYoga is an encouraging, easy to follow program — you will get a great workout for body, mind and spirit from the comfort of your home.

Get Secure
Jeff & Kate Wright founded NexStrapsTM, Inc. in 2007. I met them a couple of years ago and right away felt a connection — they live in one of the most idyllic coastal communities in Maine where my husband's family is from. They are a Veteran owned small business, have USA made products and are members of NaVOBA (National Veteran Owned Business Association). If you enjoy an active and fit lifestyle or have a demanding outdoor job, you know what a bummer it is to lose your sunglasses or eyeglasses. NexStraps is the best insurance policy to keep your eyewear in place no matter how extreme the circumstances. I love the fact that the are made in the USA which is rare these days. They are also unique in that they have a breakaway strap which attaches to your sunglasses then secures around your neck. Other straps can go flying off the back of your head on the slopes or while catching a wave. I also attach it to my baseball cap to keep it from flying off when we're on the boat in the summer. They are made of super comfortable soft neoprene, come in two different sizes, multiple colors and they even float! Go to: www.nexstraps.com
Get Focused
Have you ever taken an energy shot or drink or know people who do? I never did until I was asked to try out this product in pre-production while Mark and I were traveling cross-country over the Christmas holiday. We were asked to take it at least once a day and document how we felt. I noticed greater mental clarity right away. My mind felt sharper and more alert with absolutely no crash afterwards. I love taking it before a workout to give my muscles a performance edge and to keep me focused. I'm finding that my intensity is greater and recovery is faster. 24KTM is a great, healthy alternative to all of the caffeine and sugar laden products on the market today. Instead of masking over fatigue, it addresses the fatigue cycle of low energy, brain fog and stress all without caffeine, sugar, or stimulants of any kind. It comes in a large economy bottle that I keep in the fridge as well as six packs of minis (enough for 12 servings) that make great stocking stuffers. We are honored to partner with Reliv International (leading U.S. food science and research company) and their global mission to "Nourish Our World." With the VIP program, you get a free VIP account for great discounts and reduced shipping. You can also refer other people and double your discount! Go to: www.My24kVIP.com enter vip code: gold
In Part II, I'll share some really cool gadgets to keep you moving. Whatever this holiday season brings for you, I hope these gifts, gadgets and giving opportunities will be a benefit and blessing to you and your families. Enjoy your time together as that is life's most precious gift of all.
