This is kind of a general overview, the basic concepts are fairly simple. I looked at a lot of info out there before building my own, and I just kind of planned it as I built, it just takes a little creativity. Sorry to not include any links, just google it, I couldn't find the specific pages I used, but there is a community of people out there who do this stuff.
So an electronic drum set can run you back $600-3000+, sometimes without a module, my main reason for doing this was to save money bigtime. For comparison the cost for me was around $150-200 for all parts, then the module, so a total of at most $370, which as you drummers know is even cheaper than entry level acoustic sets! The most expensive item was the electric drum module or heart of it all which I will get to later. Heres a quick summary of my bill of major materials and costs:
-Drum pads -> 2 used toms 10" and 12" about 20$ each
-Cymbals -> plastic practice cymbals, $30 for a set
-Bass pedal/stands/mounting hardware -> came from existing acoustic set FREE
(note: I had these laying around, I would suggest being a bit creative about your solution if you dont own a drum set. I had first planned on using pvc or steel pipe, it would be much cheaper as a drum stand can run up to about 100$ for a simple studry one, Perl,Tama etc. The bass pedal might be the only thing you need to purchase, check for used hardware etc, or again, this is Instructables, your crafty people :-P).
-1/4" mono Wires (one per pad) & Electronic parts, $30-40
-Wood -> FREE (scavenged)
-Drum Module, $170 (ebay, "Alesis D4")
Basically I'm trying to convey how little money you would actually have to spend to have a working set minus the drum module. This set, after tuning the sensitivity of the pads (function of the drum module), gets about 4-5 levels of "volume" depending on the power of the hit. It's a great set for practice, and I wouldn't hesitate to play it live if I got the cash for a nice amp together...
can the peizo and foam go on an adjustable internal muffler? at the side of the head
I have everything prepared and ready, all the drums are now attached to piezos and piezos to amp wires/connectors. I am getting heavily confused as to how to connect it to a sound module(which i haven't bought yet) and assign sounds to each piezo. If you guys could tell me in detail how to do it, I'll have my set ready at last!
Also, if you could find a way to do that without a sound module ( like getting amp to 3.5 mm jacks and connecting them to the PC, and then assigning sounds using some software), that would be great!
you know what "might" work is if you had a foot trigger by your "high hat" trigger and you tapped it when you want a open high hat sound, sur3e it means you have to give up a whole trigger for an open sound reducing the size of your kit, but , just an idea.
For the lazy you can use DrumsAnywhere. You can convert any surface (a table) into an electronic drum kit with only one piezo.
See http://www.drumsanywhere.com/
and just one layer of that mesh will do the job nicely. Better than the Roland or other name brand mesh and a lot cheaper, $ 20 will buy enough mesh for about 3 five piece drumsets (including the bass drum) for an easy method on how to do mesh heads using that type of mesh check out the tuff mesh website . (http://tuffmeshmaterial.weebly.com/how-to-install-tuff-mesh.html)
i have a very cheaper and working method :
1)use the software flexi music orchestra - a very user friendly software to play wav. files etc. on the keyboard
2)download yamaha / ronald / alesis drum samples over the net or from torrents ...they are very quality one and ull have no complaint
3)load all these sample to the key u want for EACH drum/cymbal ...which is pretty lengthy and save it ..
4)then comes the hardware ...use and old PC keyboard -ic ...or if u get confused with the ic pins j...just keep it attached to the plastic sheets which are below the keys ...and the pass out a pin ter . rhe conductor holes ..which is again a time taking job ..but cheap and working
5)now on other ends of the wire ..anttach a piezo...which is the cheapest drum trigger ..of if u r keyboard does not get enouhgh gain on tapping ...the attach 2 /3 in series and keep one above another ,,....and place it beneath the mouse pad (to experiment ) ..the strike u r mouse pad to play ....
was it helpfull ?????/////////////////////////
don't forget to tell me how was it .....
Check it out.....
Actually i did that circuit accedintely after numorous experiment with that ic.......it works fine with my parameters and ic type in my country....:-)
Where is the instrutubles of it??? lol
I want to see what IC PINS you are talking about!
Best regards,
plz plz mail or chat me at :- email@example.com
dont know how much times i have to tell u ...and u reply after 1 month ...LOL
any way let me make the instructable my self and let u know how cool it is .....
why dont u come on gmail and chat with me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
u can use to wires and older to any combination of right-lift chips and short them to see the key on wordpad ..then attach a .wav file to it ...short the wires again to play sampple .......attach the piezo and strum it to play .....application : put the piezo beneath the drum pad ....
soon to put its instructable ...
my email : email@example.com
That will be my next project.
HAve goods construtions,
any way let me make the instructable my self and let u know how cool it is .....
-Alesis D4 module / brain
-11 cymbal boom arms w clamps, foams, and washers
-10 home made drum pads (metal plates w foam and rubber covering; piezoelectric sensors with RCA outputs
I just use the TD-6 on its own, so I'm thinking that these items might be of interest to those in this forum. I live in Vancouver, BC, and my email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you know of anyone that might be interested, please pass this along.
i was thinking about triggers and think i want to use the radioshack piezo's for the cymbals, however, i might want to mess around with either the ddrum triggers or the pintech triggers for the drums. they would fit real nice on the rims and can be placed right under the mesh with some foam in between them and the mesh head (or you can place them on the outside and have them right on top of the head). they already come with quarter inch plugs and would require no extra work. for the price of 20-30 each it's not a bad deal for someone looking to invest a little more into having a complete wired trigger set.
here are some links:
if anyone has experience with these triggers and has some advice that would be great! thanks again
i am starting to put together all of the supplies i need and came across this, thought it could be of use to anyone trying to make one of these:
lots of great options in all price ranges for just drum heads all the way to complete sets of snare and toms with mesh heads and mounts.
thanks again!
is your piezo in the middle of those 4 layers? like 2 under 2 on top?

But the real reason for my initial search is that one of the new DR. Who episodes has been leaked onto the internet. The BBC reports that...
"It shows how much demand there is for 'Doctor Who,"' a BBC spokesman said, sounding a positive note. "Years later there is a huge audience desperate for the new series.
Full story here.
BTW, here is the list of past DR.'s, and the years they were on the show. Perhaps a poll on which one was favored by A&F fans of the series?
William Hartnell 1963-66
Patrick Troughton 1966-69
Jon Pertwee 1970-74
Tom Baker 1974-81
Peter Davison 1981-84
Colin Baker 1984-86
Sylvester McCoy 1987-89

(And how cool to see Robert Hardy, AKA Siegfried, as Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter movies! Makes me wonder what the James Herriot guy is up to now. Alas, the last time I saw Carol Drinkwater, AKA Mrs Herriot, she was drunk and naked in An Awfully Big Adventure...)

Posted 06 April 2005 - 03:07 AM
Seems though that now 3 of the last 4 doctors have failed to go the distance. Timelords in crisis?
Can anyone remember how many regenerations the doctor was originally meant to be able to have. I seem to remember it being either 9 or 13. (not that I see that being a barrier to a profitable TV franchise)
Posted 06 April 2005 - 12:49 PM
And it's 13 *regenerations* -- since Hartnell played the *original* Doctor, there can be 14 Doctors in all before it becomes an issue.
Posted 06 April 2005 - 01:00 PM
...because then Congress would have to intervene.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm not a Dr. Who fan, and the jokes are just too tempting. I don't mean to mock those who know and love the show.
I just can't help myself.
No hard feelings, please.

Davison was my second fave. Stapled celery and all.
Posted 29 April 2005 - 03:37 PM
A lot of people really detest Colin's run as the Doctor, but I thought he was *hilarious*. He had this impatient arrogance that would quickly turn to panic when he realized that the people around him were simply too slow to understand what he was talking about, which usually increased the amount of danger he was in dramatically.

While many around America laugh off Coors Field as simply the place where they play those wacky high-scoring games, Denver natives know that it is actually one of the nicest ballparks ever built! This wonderful panoramic poster truly captures the beauty of the stadium that finally deserves a serious look.
It is June 3, 2001, one of those rare days this season when everything goes right for the Rockies. It's only the bottom of the 4th, but the home team is already up 6-0, and even though the league's hottest hitter (Barry Bonds) is at the plate, starting pitcher Pedro Astacio has not yet allowed a hit, and is about to strike out the Home Run king! As the 0-1 pitch heads to the plate, and Rockies stars such as Todd Hundley, Larry Walker, Juan Pierre, Neifi Perez, and Jeff Cirillo stand ready on defense...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!
This beautiful print deserves a prominent space on the wall of your home or office. From the fans in the stands to the action on the field to the marvelous details of Coors Field, it's all here, in perfect focus. Another stunning print from Rob Arra's Everlasting Images Collection!

04 February 2011
Posted in WFTV Severe Weather Center 9
Do you ever walk outside in the early mornings and your vision is hazed by fog? Do you ever wonder what exactly fog is? Well, fog is simply a cloud that is in contact with the ground. There are numerous types of fog, but they all have one fact in common: they form when the relative humidity reaches 100% and the dew point drops below the dew point. Here are descriptions of different types of fog as described by World of Earth Science:
Radiation or ground fog is formed after sunset when there is a cooling of the land caused by thermal radiation in calm weather conditions. When the cool ground reaches its dew point, it then produces moisture in the air, which forms into condensation or fog droplets. The fog sometimes boils over to the next morning before the sun has come up to cool ground.
Advection fog forms when warm, moist air horizontally movesover a cold surface, which cools the air to its dew point. It is common along coastlines where moist air moves from over the water to over the land, or when an air mass moves over a cold surface (e.g., snow), and the moisture in the air condenses into fog as the surface cools it..
Evaporation fog forms by the mixing of two unsaturated air masses. This can occur when cold, dry air moves over warmer water. The air, quickly saturated by evaporation and condensation, creating a steam like fog. This most commonly takes place over bodies of waters and can be known as sea smoke.
Precipitation or frontal fog forms as precipitation falls into cool, almost saturated air. This can take place with warm, cold, or stationary fronts
No matter what type of fog is drifting in the air, it is important to always take extra caution when driving. Fog reduces visibility and can be very dangerous, so make sure that you're light are on and know when the sun come out, there will be a clear day ahead!

That's what this article is trying to demonstrate.
Interesting read and, while I'm no security expert, it seems to me that the implications go beyond this :
As Ashkan Soltani was able to test in just a few minutes, it is possible to determine if any given file is already stored by one or more Dropbox users, simply by observing the amount of data transferred between your own computer and Dropbox's servers. If the file isn't already stored by Dropbox, the entire file will be uploaded. If Dropbox has the file already, just a few kb of communication will occur.

Interpretive Handbook
89474 :
Molybdenum/Creatinine Ratio, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Molybdenum is an essential trace element found in the daily diet. It is a cofactor for some enzymes important in nitrogen metabolism (aldehyde dehydrogenase, xanthine oxidase, NADH dehydrogenase). Due to the wide distribution of molybdenum in the environment and particularly in plant materials, molybdenum deficiency is rare in adults with normal, diverse diets. Typical molybdenum intake in most geographic locations is between 45 and 90 mcg/day.(1) Urine is the primary source of excretion, though excesses are sometimes excreted by the biliary route.(2-3)
Molybdenum deficiency associated with parenteral nutrition is indicated by symptoms such as stunted growth, reduced appetite, tachycardia, tachypnea, blindness and coma. These symptoms can be corrected by introducing molybdenum supplementation.(3) Molybdenum cofactor disease is a severe genetic disorder that is due to defective mutations in the MOCS1, MOCS2, and GEPH genes.(4)
Molybdenum toxicity is rare and usually related to molybdenum mining exposure; however, it has been observed in cases of intake >400 mcg/day. Molybdenum interferes with copper uptake; molybdenum toxicity is predominantly due to copper deficiency (hypochromic anemia and neutropenia) and inhibition of xanthine oxidase (uric acid accumulation).
Urine molybdenum concentrations are likely to be increased above the reference range in patients with metallic joint prosthesis. Prosthetic devices produced by Zimmer Company and Johnson and Johnson typically are made of aluminum, vanadium, and titanium. Prosthetic devices produced by Depuy Company, Dow Corning, Howmedica, LCS, PCA, Osteonics, Richards Company, Tricon, and Whiteside typically are made of chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum. This List of products is incomplete, and these products change occasionally; see prothesis product information for each device for composition details.(4-5)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring of parenteral nutrition
Monitoring metallic prosthetic implant wear
As an indicator of molybdenum cofactor disease
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Molybdenum excretion rates are variable and related to dietary intake. Evaluation of 124 healthy adults by Mayo Clinic suggested a reference range of 6 to 190 mcg/L. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study reported urine molybdenum ranged from 20 to 180 mcg/L. (Note: NHANES also reported excretion per gram of creatinine as 40-100 mcg/gm creatinine in adults and 70-240 mcg/gm creatinine in children.)
Prosthesis wear is known to result in increased circulating concentration of metal ions.(5-7) No increase (6-190 mcg/L) in urine molybdenum concentration is evident with a prosthetic device in good condition. Urine concentrations >200 mcg/L in a patient with molybdenum-based implant suggest significant prosthesis wear. Increased urine trace element concentrations in the absence of corroborating clinical information do not independently predict prosthesis wear or failure.
Urine molybdenum <6 mcg/L indicates potential deficiency.
Increased urine molybdenum may be seen in acute viral hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and other forms of liver inflammation.(2)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Molybdenum is a trace metal commonly used in alloys and readily present in the environment. Thus, contamination of the specimen must be avoided. Failure to use metal-free collection procedures and devices may cause falsely increased results. See Specimen Required for collection and processing information.
High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
6-11 years: 70-240 mcg/g creatinine
>11 years: 40-100 mcg/g creatinine
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <6 years of age.

U-Licious Smokehouse and Grill has a problem. Many tiny problems, in fact: flies. A sunny December afternoon found this barbecue trailer's dingy dining room hosting a small orgy of the pests; by week's end, two dead flies locked in a copulatory arrangement decorated the cash register. A bit gross, granted, but what you came here for—piles of meat cooked within spitting distance of heavy traffic and served in Styrofoam containers—would seem somehow alien in an environment burnished of such rib-shack blemishes. Once you try owner-chef James Harris' barbecue sauce, a vinegar-heavy concoction that flirts with sweetness without becoming too cloying, you'd happily brave another swarm to have it again. The sauce's tastiest carrier is the pulled-pork sandwich ($5), a slop of smoky meat on a gloriously cheap bun that exists only to keep your hands relatively clean, which is all one should ask of barbecue bread. Hot links ($2) are rubbery and unremarkable, and the greens ($1.50) are mushy non-entities, so I advise sticking to the sandwich side of the menu, where you will also find perfectly charred ribs ($6) swimming in more of that sauce (and paired with more wraithlike bread), and a beef brisket sandwich ($5) that is a bit on the dry side until the meat soaks up enough of that which makes U-Licious so great.
- Best bite: Pulled pork.
- I'll pass: The mess of greens.
EAT: U-Licious Smokehouse and Grill, 1505 NE Killingsworth St., 477-3958. 11 am-10 pm Monday-Thursday, 11 am-11 pm Friday-Saturday, noon-7 pm Sunday. $ Inexpensive. Cash and check only.

Graduation: Ceremony, Celebration, or Both?
What to do During Graduation Season
Graduation season is here. Each graduation marks a milepost in the lives of many students. It's a serious yet joyful event. And therein lies the conundrum: Do we show our pride in the graduate with air horns and beach balls? Or do we show respect in somber silence? The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Consider these questions as you decide how you'll demonstrate your joy for your graduate:
- Does it fit with the tradition of the institution?
- Will others be able to hear their loved one's special moment?
- Does it reflect the significance of the ceremony?
- Will the graduate hear it with pride?
If you said "yes" to all the above you are probably in the right ball park. If not, you may want to reconsider and find a celebratory way to honor those you love at their graduation ceremony.

New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
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.
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.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.

Rockwell woman killed in morning collision
Published 12:00 am Friday, June 14, 2013
A Rockwell woman was killed this morning after the van she was riding in collided with a tractor-trailer at the intersection of N.C. 24-27 and U.S. 52 in Albemarle.
Albemarle Police say Jennifer Fesperman died as a result of the crash. Other news sources say Jennifer Fesperman, 32, was a passenger in a southbound minivan on U.S. 52. The crash occurred about 4:15 a.m. in Albemarle. The van was being driven by Jessica Fesperman, 17, also of Rockwell, who other news sources say crossed into the path of the truck, which was heading west on N.C. 24-27.
Three others in the van included Kenneth Fesperman, 47, Phillip Fesperman, 11, and Jordan Fesperman, 14. The tractor-trailer was driven by Larry McIntyre of Sanford. He was not injured in the crash, officials said.
Kenneth Fesperman was taken to Stanly Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. CMC-Charlotte officials do not have a listing for Kenneth Fesperman. Phillip and Jordan Fesperman were taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Phillip is fair condition and Jordan is in serious condition, hospital officials said. The investigation is ongoing, police officials said.

Changing the libsensors License
When lm-sensors 2 was written, all the code was placed under the GPL license (version 2), including the library, libsensors. Over time, a number of developers complained to us that this made it impossible for them to link their application to libsensors due to license incompatibilities. Indeed, a library released under the GPL can only be used by code itself released under the GPL. This excludes proprietary tools but also tools released under BSD-style licenses and libraries released under the LGPL, for example. If libsensors was released under the LGPL, this wouldn't be a problem any longer.
For a long time we have been ignoring the issue, because it isn't easy to solve. Basically we need to get the approval of all copyright holders and preferably all other significant contributors if we want to be able to change the license. That being said, the problem is real, so it would be really, really great if we could change the license of libsensors someday. So we are starting a 1-year campaign to collect as many approvals as possible from all past contributors to libsensors. On July 1st, 2010, if we managed to get the approval of all copyright holders and no disapproval from any past contributor to libsensors, next releases of libsensors will be placed under the LGPL license (version 2.1).
Position of the Copyright Holders

MPI experts, along with representatives from Gwinnett County Public Schools and the University of Georgia's Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education, discuss the educational experiences of Georgia's first- and second-generation immigrant youth and where Georgia's ambitious education reforms have met—or failed to meet—the needs of this growing population.
This report analyzes the educational experiences and outcomes of immigrant youth ages 16 to 26 across Georgia's education systems, encompassing K-12, adult, and postsecondary. By examining these interconnected systems together, the analysis offers linked strategies for advancing the educational attainment of Georgia's immigrant youth.
This issue brief analyzes the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides a two-year reprieve from deportation for eligible unauthorized immigrants who came to the United States as children. The study finds that 49 percent of the eligible population had applied during the program's first year, and reveals wide variation in application rates across states and national-origin groups.
This report examines three types of educational and health policy interventions that may reduce disparities between the children of U.S.-born parents and their immigrant counterparts during the crucial transition between prekindergarten and elementary school.
This report examines the high school completion, college access, and postsecondary success of immigrant youth (ages 16 to 26) in Washington State, where one in four young adults is an immigrant or child of an immigrant. The report provides one of the first cross-system analyses of the educational experiences of first-generation (foreign-born) and second-generation (U.S.-born with immigrant parents) youth in the state.
This report examines how a parent's unauthorized status affects child development. Based on a review of existing research that increasingly points to negative developmental consequences of parental unauthorized status across all stages of childhood, the authors explore possible options for policies and programs that could mitigate these risks, and propose ways to achieve this goal within the framework of proposed comprehensive immigration reform.
MPI's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy convened a major public policy research symposium focused on young children of immigrants in the U.S.
This report, Volume 1 of a three-volume set commissioned by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation that examines the immigrant population in Arkansas, provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of Arkansas immigrants and their children, including a description of immigrant workers in the Arkansas economy. The three volumes build upon a previous study of the Arkansas immigrant population that was published in 2007.

Hi Mike,
You're doing very well with the F828. The D70 will open new vistas and in some cases present new challenges.
First, you won't be satisfied with one or two lenses - it becomes a life-long quest for the next great tool. Instead of changing camera bodies (that too will happen with time) you will be wanting to try new and different approaches. The telephoto aspects will quickly become apparent for wildlife shooting. What was simply not possible with the F828 because of limited focal length will become commonplace but it begins to get expensive!
For your portrait type shooting you will love the dSLR because getting those OOF backdrops will be soooo much easier than with the F828. On the other hand, getting excellent closeups with great depth of field from macro level subjects will be much more challenging.
What you have essentially learned with the F828 will carry over very well with the dSLR, but you will be able to get night shots and long exposures which were virtually impossible with the smaller sensor. You will concentrate more on the creative aspects because you know that the limitations will be more the photographer than the equipment.
Today I visited a PetSmart store which had a beautiful small lizard in a glass terrarium. I really wanted a picture of it, but the only camera I had with me was my F828, and as much as I love it for doing macro art photography, I simply could not get the shot. Had I had my 1D, 10D or 1DS with me it would have been a simple task, but the F828 simply couldn't handle the combination of bad lighting, reflections and get the proper exposure. Missed opportunity which having the dSLR's would have made simple.
On the other hand, why did I have the F828 with me and not the dSLR's? Simply because carrying the large equipment when I'm not working (I'm a photographer) is a royal pain in the behind. So don't give up the little f828 - just get the D70 and use each to it's best advantage as the conditions warrant.
Best regards,
Mike Katz

The Sony wasn't designed to actually be able to take quality photographs in a variety of situations. The Sony was designed to get as much of your money as possible, and be quite UN-versatile, so you'll have to "upgrade" to the next Sony. A compotent review will tell you this, especially regarding night photos.

[font color=\'#000000\']best thing for u :cool: is to get a plain old fashioned regular film camera.. that you have to set the aperture and shutter speed ... and 1 or 2 prime lenses reason is because that way you will learn all kindsa things which later you can apply to digital phoography .. as amatter of fact buy only slide film with your film camera a simple nikon fm10 is a good learning tool[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Tina, do you have and use an F828? I suspect not because this statement sounds like it comes from someone with no experience with it.
How about a sample of what you would call a "quality" image made with your choice of camera? Then I will be glad to match it with a sample of what I call a quality image from a Sony F828. I'm certain Matthew and a number of other professionals who make pretty good money selling F828 images will be glad to compare their work with what you have to show and let the readers decide? Fair enough??

Hello Forum Members
First posting. I really like the LL site and Michael's view of photography.
I have become more interested in photography only recently (February). Prior to that I used a P&S Sony. I purchased the F828 in February, and I really like the camera.
There's a lot to learn, and I am enjoying the learning curve. However, I have a problem with low-light pictures. The ISO restriction on the Sony, and other issues as well, limit my low-light efforts. Besides this, I have no other issues. If I continue with the Sony, I would purchase the F32X flash unit.
I will invest in a DSLR at some stage. I haven't been into it properly, but if it's today it will probably be the Nikon D70.
My issue is whether I should make the move sooner or later. I have lots to learn still about my camera, about photographic technique, and about post processing. In your experience, which is far greater than mine, will it be better for me to continue to learn and use the F828, or should I take the plunge now?
If looking at pictures will help you advise me, here are my latest ones:
I know I am asking a somewhat impossible question, but I will use all the feedback you give me to make an informed as possible decision.
Thanks for reading this far.

Lin Evans has raised what is for me the biggest argument for having a one piece digicam instead of (or in addition to) a DSLR; portability. (Yes, I am being elitist and ignoring price!)
But between a "big lens digicam" like the 828 that is already too big for most pockets and the smaller DSLRs, I am not sure how important that difference is. I now carry my E-1 with 14-54 lens very often in a compact "trouser belt" bag that also carries the few main accessories like the only filter I need. For any camera to travel with me much more often, it would have to be shirt pocket sized (see the Sony T1, W1 thread), and so with only about the same zoom range as my E-1 kit.
The D70 w/ 18-70 is comparable to that E- kit in zoom range, size (a bit bigger) and weight (a bit lighter; plastic wins over magnesium on that count), so it might be about equally "belt bag" portable.

Don't sweat it. Just shoot. Shoot and shoot and shoot. Then .... make prints. Get yourself an epson photo printer. Make the biggest prints you can and hang them on your wall.
Look at them whenever you can. Allow many moons to pass. Shoot more. Print more. Your friends will tell you what an artist you are and .... how they never knew.
I was at a persons house the other day. They recently graduated to a Sony 717 and have no idea about f stops, dof, tripods or actually anything about photography. But they have dozens of photographs framed on their walls and I marvelled. They go to interesting places and they shoot a lot. I was deeply impressed and moved.
Just forget your worries and shoot. Study, compare, aquire better equipment as you are moved and one day soon, if you persist, You will have a body of work and you will be very happy with what you have accomplished.

[font color=\'#000000\']Hi Matthew
Yes, it was clear that the remote is for the tripod only.
I use flash indoors for family pictures. Usually my family will let me take pictures only at the weirdest times, and it's invariably at night.
The smugmug upload server is down, but once it is up I'll post my first flash efforts.
I also have a macro lens, and I occassionally need flash early evenings to take outdoors. I'm sure the new flash will do a better job - the internal one is just too bright because it's too close, and the FV32X has a special macro filter.

As I just wrote in another thread:
I began photographing with a Sony P1 resulting in images where every technical aspect was flawed. But I liked them. A lot, actually. So I bought a Sony F717 (with all it's electronic gadgetry) to get rid of the P1's limitations and haven't made more than a handfull of acceptably good images until I finally sold it.
After I sold the F717 I got myself a D60 and some primes and boy, it's a totally different experience alltogether!
It's not the gain in resolution, not the significantly reduced noise (NeatImage helped the F717 images a lot), not just the fantastic optical viewfinder or the almost instantanious operation of both menues and image-reviews but the possibility to set limits by using primes (teaches a lot about composition) and that the camera really allows the user to focus on the image-making process rather than the tools involved.
Of course, not all of that applies to your situation (you'll actually lose resolution unless you spend substantially more) but my main problems with the F717 are still valid with the F828: Viewfinder and 'feel'. The Sony's feel like an MP3 player that grew up to become a camera whereas the DSLR's I've handled so far allow the photographer to choose his/her level of interaction with the technical aspects of photography. Hmm, that sounds odd... after all, the Sony does have all those auto-modes (auto landscape/sports/people/night/...) so one could just point&shoot with it... maybe it's simply the sound the mirror and shutter make when I press the release button - it's just so satisfying so totally vintage
So anyways, this is, of course, just my own experience and it need not be how you would feel about it - MR seems quite happy with the F828 whereas I'd rather go out with the old P1 than an F717/828 because I'm sure the images will be better.

Thank you all very much for the responses. This is a really important issue to me. I'm new to photography, I really enjoy it, and I don't want to lose my enthusiasm.
I've posted this query on a couple of forums, and the replies have helped me clarify the issues. Here's how I see it now:
Since I am literally starting from scratch, I have to develop two skills. One is learning the camera and what it can do, and the second is learning composition.
To me, composition skills are paramount. That's where the creativity is, to see the shot. I need to learn how to recognize a good photograph, how to frame it, and so on. As all the pros keep on saying, the photographer is far more important than the camera.
After that, comes how I technically achieve it using the camera at hand.
I have a great camera that is easy to use and which most of the time will let me concentrate on composition. So, why am I considering a DSLR? Sometimes, especially in low-light situations indoors, or with macros outdoors, I just can't get the shot on the Sony. So, I have three options:
1 Live with it and move on to the next shot. Not really an option - I can get along without the macros, but not without the family pictures.
2 Learn how to get around the limitation on the Sony, and probably purchase an external flash.
3 Use a DSLR which will enable me to get more shots than I can at present. Of course, I'll still have to learn how to handle even lower-light at some stage.
So now, my question to you is more focussed. Which will allow me to be more creative - to keep shooting on the Sony and channel some energy to tackling low-light issues, or to learn a second camera so that it can take care of the majority of low-light issues for me?

[font color=\'#000000\']Mike,
I bought the 828 specifically because I find the live LCD much more conducive for composition, mostly because I can compose with face off the camera. When I use a tripod (for practically all landscape shooting) I always compose with the live LCD and shoot with the remote release.
Speaking of which, you need to buy the electronic remote release if you don't have it. It will drastically improve overall image sharpness as you won't have camera shake on the tripod from pushing the shutter.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Mike,
Hope you enjoy the new flash. I mostly shoot outdoors and have hardly touched the flash since getting the 828, since flash doesn't work in the burst mode, the 828 seems to have a nice contrast curve even without fill, and I mostly shoot landscape anyway. The remote is for use on a tripod only -- in case that wasn't clear.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']best thing for u :cool: is to get a plain old fashioned regular film camera.. that you have to set the aperture and shutter speed ... and 1 or 2 prime lenses reason is because that way you will learn all kindsa things which later you can apply to digital phoography .. as amatter of fact buy only slide film with your film camera a simple nikon fm10 is a good learning tool[/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']Perhaps a manual typewriter would improve your spelling and capitalization?
Actually learning photography with a film camera is a very inefficient way to learn photography. The shoot/view delay is much too long. The cost of film and developing reduces experimentation for most people.
It is true that many people would be helped if they slowed down and learned the basics. But you can do that better with digital. Just set your camera on manual, set the zoom to a set length and leave it alone, ....[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Have to agree with the last post. Read the article on LL too, and much of what he says makes sense. Started with all manual, B&W and later slides, but can't see why anyone would switch back to that now - at least not for that reason.
Most digicams have a manual option. Actually not as userfriendly as an old slr from the seventies og eighties, but still usable. Use that if you want a better understanding how it all works.[/font]

Hi Oliver
Thanks for your response. Actually, besides the low-light issue, I'm very happy with the F828. I limit the pictures I take, not the camera. Hence my dilemma.
Let me ask you this: will I carry everything I learn on the F828 with me onto a DSLR? Not button placements and so on of course, but technique. Or, will I have to re-learn a lot when I move?

There's a third skill - post production (which can be further broken down into image processing and printing). In general, and for the higher end DSLRs in particular, post processing is absolutely necessary and establishing a workflow that helps you get the most out of an image and also know when to stop tweaking can be a bit tricky. Then just after you get the image looking the way you want on the monitor, you print and get a magenta cast, or no shadow detail, or etc. etc. etc. and before you know it you're knee deep in color management, spyders, profiles...
To get the most out "photography" there has to be some degree of passion for ALL the steps.

text: Establishment of Paternity or Support Order In Oregon, paternity may be established for a child born in Oregon, if both parents sign a joint acknowledgment of paternity before a notary public and file it within the Oregon Department of Vital Statistics with the proper fee. If both parents do not agree to paternity, our office may be able to initiate a paternity action. If the other parent responds and properly objects, genetic testing may be done. If the testing confirms parentage, the court or agency may enter a child support order. If the child was conceived or born outside of Oregon and one parent lives elsewhere it may be necessary to begin formal legal proceedings to another state to ask that state to establish paternity or a support order. After an application for services is received, a party will be sent paperwork to complete and return. The information provided will assist our office in the establishment of a paternity and support order. If the paternity of your child was already established, for example, paternity was already acknowledged, or the child was born during a lawful marriage under certain conditions, it may only be necessary to establish a support order. Our office will compute the support amount and serve a notice on both parents advising them of the amount. If either party objects, a hearing before an administrative law judge will be held. After an order is issued it is filed with the court and subject to enforcement. After your application for services is received, an applicant will be sent paperwork to complete and return. The information you provide will assist our office in the establishment of a support order.

Hello friends,
I need some buddies to not only advise me about my writing, but to keep me on track - encourage, browbeat, scold, etc, because I tend to lose faith in what I'm writing, stop, restart, and most times give up. Is there anyone out there who feels led to be my coach as well as my buddy?
I'm in masters, and as Deb suggested, mixed levels would be great. (Even tho I wouldn't mind if a more experienced/published master to come along side also!) A link to my profile is below, but I'll warn you that don't adhere to any one "genre". I write what and how God leads me. (When I don't, I usually fail.) My EC's, with the exception of a creative non-fiction, inspirational piece, and (most recently) a free-verse poem, have all been fiction.
I'm not an expert (despite the "master" label") but I'm a good proofreader and I have an ear for grammar. The kind of help I'd like to receive (in addition to proofing-in-kind of course) is the eye of a reader. The kind of input my husband gives. What he liked, what he didn't like, what he didn't get, or what was boring.
I feel like I just wrote a job application letter.
Anyway, reply here or pm me. I'd like to enter the challenge every week again. I'd like to make it priority again. But I haven't been successful in doing it alone.

Supports calcium absorption and bone health; provides potential support for breast, prostate, cardiovascular, colon and immune health
Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition. Vitamin D supports cardiovascular function in some individuals, which may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or possibly by helping to maintain healthy plasma renin function. A role for vitamin D in supporting colon health by promoting healthy cellular function has also been suggested. Furthermore, vitamin D is believed to provide general cellular support potential, including for the breast and prostate, in part by helping to maintain healthy angiogenesis balance, supporting immune cell activity, and maintaining healthy cell metabolism. Vitamin D's role in immune health has long been established; vitamin D receptors are found on a number of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages, supporting healthy immune cell activation.
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and retention, a key nutritional role in supporting healthy bones; new evidence suggests it may also have a prominent role in cellular, cardiovascular, colon and immune health.
Directions for Use: 1 capsule per day with a meal.

A seizure involves abnormal electrical activity in the brain that affects the mind and body. Many problems can cause you to have a seizure. These include high fever, abnormal levels of sodium or blood sugar, and head injuries. If you have a condition called epilepsy, you may have seizures repeatedly.
A seizure that lasts at least 30 minutes is called status epilepticus, or a prolonged seizure. This is a medical emergency that may lead to permanent brain damage or death. Many medical experts become concerned that a seizure is status epilepticus after it lasts five to 10 minutes.
This condition is especially common in young children and elderly adults.
Most people who experience status epilepticus don't have epilepsy; only about 25 percent do. Another way to look at it is that only about 15 percent of people with epilepsy will have status epilepticus during their life.
In children, the main cause of status epilepticus is an infection with a fever. In adults, these are common causes of the problem:
Imbalance of substances in the blood, such as low blood sugar
Drinking too much alcohol or having alcohol withdrawal after previous heavy alcohol use
This condition can occur as:
Convulsive status epilepticus. Status epilepticus with convulsions may be more likely to lead to long-term injury. Convulsions may involve jerking motions, grunting sounds, drooling, and rapid eye movements.
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus. People with this type may appear confused or look like they're daydreaming. They may be unable to speak and may be behaving in an irrational way.
These are possible symptoms of status epilepticus:
A seizure that lasts more than five minutes, or more than one seizure in a row without regaining consciousness in between
Muscle spasms
Unusual noises
Loss of bowel or bladder control
Clenched teeth
Irregular breathing
Unusual behavior
Difficulty speaking
A "daydreaming" look
Your doctor will probably diagnose this problem by carefully examining you and asking whether you have epilepsy or other health problems. The doctor may also ask about any medication you're taking and if you've been using alcohol or other recreational drugs
Your doctor may also order an electroencephalogram. A health care provider will place painless electrodes onto your scalp. These measure the brain's electrical activity.
You may need other tests to search for possible causes. These include a lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, to look for signs of infection. A CT scan or MRI may be needed to see problems in the brain.
The doctor will want to end the seizure as quickly as possible and treat any underlying problems that are causing it. The doctor may give you oxygen, take blood samples, and put an intravenous (IV) line into a vein. You may be given glucose (sugar) if low blood sugar may be causing the seizure.
Doctors may use anti-seizure drugs to treat the problem, including:
These drugs are given through an IV or an injection into a muscle.
If you have epilepsy, taking your medications as directed may help you avoid status epilepticus. If you've had status epilepticus, you may need to begin taking seizure medicines or change medications you're already taking. Avoiding other causes of this condition, such as alcohol abuse or low blood sugar, may also help prevent it.
This is an emergency that requires immediate medical care.

This is an amazing product, I LOVE IT!!!
By Teresa
from Milford, Nebraska
About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
Comments about this product:
I have a large size that will accommodate my large dogs as well as my small but we also have several cats that love it. They would rather use the potty patch than the cat box and I save money on cat litter. My only issue is that the base isn't " steady" for lack of a better term so as I go to empty the urine the base may wobble and urine spills on the floor. However, I would gladly be wipe up urine than have to clean cat boxes or dog accidents from my laminate floors. It's also great that I can make it as big as I'd like by buying extra parts. It has exceeded my expectations. I will surely buy another one when this one can no longer be effectively cleaned but so far I'm over a year in with four dogs and nine cats. Sincerely, Teresa M. Wegrzyn
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me New Pet Owner
Since I am a heavy drinker and have a uncontrollable bladder I have purchased 6 of these wonderful potty patches to place around my easy chair. All i have to do is unzip my forever lazy and let er rip. Although at times I am so lazy that I do not get a chance to empty the potty patches. I would like to see these come in like gallon containers. I also have found that you cannot have a bowel movement on the fake grass for it is not easy to clean. Other than this I would recommend the potty patch to any heavy drinker who is to lazy to go all the way to the restroom.
