Re: practicing with sextant on land
Celestaire makes a practice sight for the 3b. I think they're about 50 bucks or so. I got one so I could teach my sig other. It takes a fair bit of practice with them to actually start getting fairly accurate, but like the saying goes: your first 1000 shots will never be as accurate as your second 1000 shots.
The sight has a leveling bubble inside with a coresponding horizontal hairling that acts as your horizon.
One bonus I found after using this practice sight for awhile: I's amazing how steady and accurate your sights are with a scope on after using this practice sight.
I do find that during times of twilight it can be difficult to locate stars of lesser magnitude because of the lack of light that enters into the sight, but overall for the price I think it a worthwhile purchase.
3500 ft is a fair elevation, but remember that all of those atmosphereic corrections within the nautical almanac are average constants anyway.
How do you like the 3b anyway? I think it a fantistic sextant for the price. I've used many different types while in the Canadian Navy, and I think it rivals anything that they've got. How do you think the full two-way mirror compares to the half mirror?
Re: practicing with sextant on land
Teacupnav is a neat app!
thanks for sharing!!
has anyone tried building Farley's octant?

That was not the intent of the guy's question.
You always take into consideration temp & refraction whether on a boat or on top of a mountain.
Bug off.

Re: practicing with sextant on land
Got a sextant for Christmas. So have just learned Celestial navigation. Used three different books to learn. Best book I found was a book called Simple Celestial, by a CDR Chris Kreitlein (ret). Not a lot of theory (but enough), just logical , step by step instructions on sight reduction, for all sights. The reason I'm bringing it up is that it is not a widely distributed book. You have to order it from the guys website ( it's about $12), yet it is the book that made everything clear to this not so smart guy. I have no connection to the guy, I discovered him on youtube while trying to figure it all out. Just thought I'd mention it, as I found it to be an invaluable resource.
To be honest I haven't taken a sight yet, it's to bloody cold to mess around outside in Ontario. I'll have to wait for spring.
by the way the book had the best sight forms I came across. You can download them free from his website.

Re: practicing with sextant on land
This is a rather old thread but I ran into it while looking for ways to do simple sextant practice sights.
Being a novice I want to use my sextant, on land, and get near instant feedback as to my technique. I am not particularly interested, at this point, in generating LOPs or even doing more than 1 sight at a time. My goal is to hone my sextant skills without the associated complicating factors of the computations. I found:
TeaCup Navigator by Roger Farley ( I am new on this site so cannot post a link) is a a free PC based navigational app with a bunch of problem solving sub-apps useful to a sailor. What I am finding extremely helpful is its Sight Planner in which one can view the azimuth and (most useful) the elevation of sun, moon, planets and major stars visible in the local sky. One can then compare the sextant data with the sky object data from TeaCup for that moment. I also measure, with the sextant, an arc distance between 2 sky objects and, again, compare the readings to the data from the Sight Planner. Quick and easy!
Of course, after I acquire a bit more dexterity, I shall use TeaCup Navigator to crunch the data to derive a position.

Re: practicing with sextant on land
Whew, just finished reducing my sight of Venus, shot 40 minutes ago :P Actually it's my first sight reduction done on one of my own sights, and my first star sight! I used an artificial horizon but unfortunately there was quite a breeze running... oh well.
Anyway, since you were mentioning sight reduction the other day I thought I'd share the process I used, transcribed from the front and back of an envelope
I'm thinking I will keep a sort of running fix. I'm starting with a DR of 49°N, 123°W, and will update it whenever I can take a new sight, always shooting from my patio.
Index error was 2.6' on the arc.
Hs at 10:20 pm PDT was 25°40.7'
Index correction of -2.6' gives 26°38.1'
Divide by 2 for artificial horizon, gives Ha = 12°49.0'.
(NB: not sure if that's the right order, but I *think* index error "only applies once" in an artificial horizon measurement)
Correction for refraction (not corrected for temp or pressure since it's probably close enough) is -4.2', which gives 12°44.8'.
Parallax correction for HP = 0.41' is +0.4', which gives Ho = 12°45.2'.
Sight was taken at 0520 on May 10 (GMT). 20m is 1/3 of the hour.
At 0500, GHA was 220°47.6' and Dec was 27°41.9'; d=0.1' so no interpolation is necessary for Dec.
v is 1.9', so GHA correction is 1/3 of 15° + 1/3 of 1.9', or 5°0.6'. This gives a GHA of 225°48.2', and LHA = GHA - APLong = 103° gives an AP longitude of 122°48.2' W.
Page 69 of Pub 249 (87 in the PDF) is for Lat 49° Dec (15°-29°) SAME name as latitude. I look in the 27° column for row 103 and find
Hc = 12°11'
d = 46'
Z = 63° (Zn = 360° - Z = 297°)
The d correction of 46' per degree of declination, combined with 42' of declination, makes for a correction to Hc of +35', so Hc = 12°46.0'.
Hc > Ho gives an intercept of 0.8' away from 297°, which is not great considering where my apartment actually is :P Partially it's the wavy surface of the water I used, and partially I'm not just particularly good at this yet, but I also think there are some uncorrected errors in my sextant. The intercept should have been something like 12 or 13 nm toward.
Maybe tomorrow I'll photocopy a chart from the library and start plotting LOPs on it.

Post subject: Broncos @ Ravens (Week 15) GDT
Sunday, 12/16/12, 1:00 PM
M&T Bank Stadium (71,008)
TV Crew:
Greg Gumbel (play-by-play), Dan Dierdorf (analyst)
Injury Lists
Denver Broncos
Baltimore Ravens
LB Jameel McClain (back/neck)
LB Dannell Ellerbe (ankle); RG Marshall Yanda (ankle)
Three Match-Ups to Watch:
1. Jim Caldwell & the Ravens Offense
Who knows what the offense will look like on Sunday with Jim Caldwell at the helm instead of the newly departed Cam Cameron (
). Caldwell has never called plays at the NFL level and he will be working with the same offense that Cam Cameron has run for the past 4 & 3/4 years. But here's hoping there are some plays in that playbook that involve receivers other than Ray Rice running between the numbers and that the RBs will see plenty of the ball.
2. Ravens OL vs Broncos Pass Rush
The Broncos have the 2nd most team sacks in the NFL 39, tied with STL), led by SLB Von Miller's 16 QB sacks with Elvis Dumervil chipping in with 8 of his own. Michael Oher and Kelechi Osemeli, neither particularly known for having the quickest of feet, will have their hands full on passing plays in stopping this duo from getting to the QB too quickly
3. Broncos Pass Offense vs Ravens Back 7
While Peyton Manning hasn't had a particularly great career
vs the Ravens
[career 2443 yards @ 62.9%; 8.0 YPA; 17TDs 8INTs; 95.5 QB rating (which is 16th among all teams)] he does boast a 7-2 WL record against them. Demariyus Thomas, who already has nearly 1200 yards receiving so far this year and is a threat to score a TD from anywhere, will keep Cary Williams/Corey Graham busy while Jacob Tamme and Joel Dressen (who is 2nd on the team with 5 TDs) will occupy the depleted ILB corps likely to start Brendan Ayanbedajo and Josh Bynes again.
The Ravens can lock up a play-off spot with a win this week, and can potentially lock up the AFC North division crown for the second year in a row if either the Steelers or Bengals fail also to win. Will they do it? Only time will tell

Call it a gut feeling, but I think Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe return for this game. This is too big a game for us to just hold back our guys unless they are truly still recovering. Neither probably won't see a full load, but I think they could certainly see a rotation with Ayanbadejo. I also think we see Jimmy Smith return for this game. I think Suggs sits this one out again.
The nature of this game aside, I think we keep the offense simple enough. I expect more motion with our offense to get our receivers more space to work with and perhaps a few screens here and there, but I don't expect us to suddenly be going over the middle at a significantly higher rate than per usual under Cam. Or do rub routes and things of that nature.
I'm hoping we see more Torrey Smith though. Because while it seems Boldin can take over games at certain points, when Smith is dominant in games it seems as though our entire offense is having increased success. I think Smith is the single most important element to our offense personally- even moreso than Rice. When Smith goes, I think we are nearly impossible to stop- the unit is just feeling it. It's like they feed off of him and his big play ability. So hopefully he's able to be successful going forward.

My keys to the game:
1.) Run the ball at Elvis Dumervil, and actually run the ball a LOT. The way to best neutralize the best pass rusher in the NFL is to run the ball and make him play the run and beat them up, then late in the game throw the ball when Von and Elvis have been carved up on the ground.
2.) Force Peyton Manning to hand the ball off. Play LOTS of 3-man fronts or dime coverage and make him hand the ball off. I'm much more comfortable letting Moreno beat us than The Sheriff. You can always blitz from those nickel packages as well, but the last thing I want is for us to get caught in base personnel vs. Peyton Manning and get burnt.
If we can frustrate Peyton in always playing nickel and dime looks and making him either check to a run or pass in unfriendly personnel sets, I think it will lead him to making some mistakes. We just need to stay disciplined, mix in our blitzes and etc. If there's one thing that Peas should know how to do, it's scheme against Peyton since he did it for many years when New England's defense had success against Peyton.
On offense, I really don't know what to say since I don't know what the gameplan is or anything. I would just say get the running game going early and then let's see how can they defend the "Tom Brady", short passing offense early on and neutralize Von. The last thing in the world I want is Von getting 40 pass rushing attempts against KO while we run long developing routes.

This is the key to the game, although I think just running at Elvis is a tad short sighted. The teams that have had most success against our Defense (New England and Houston) did so by keeping us in our base 4-3 Defense i.e using a lot of 'Ace' personnel (2 WR 2 TE 1 RB). If you can run the ball against our base 4-3 Defense, this keeps Von Miller at SLB (moves to DE in our sub packages) and also prevents Jack Del Rio from being able to dial up blitz packages to get after Flacco.
Houston got big plays against us by gaining good yards on the ground with Arian Foster then hitting us with Play Action and misdirection on the back of this. New England's Offense is totally different to Houston's, but they still used the running game to set up the passing game by using the hurry up to prevent us moving Von Miller around. When we used our Nickel, the Patriots ran all over us and just kept going no huddle so we couldn't sub into a heavier package. Then, when we went with our base 4-3 he utliized his mismatches at TE's being covered by our LB's.
If you run the ball well and thus stay out of 3rd and long, I don't see us winning this game. If our guys can force 3rd and long then it is a totally different ball game. I know you guys worry about your OT's in pass pro, but I assure you it really doesn't matter who the OT is when Von Miller is rushing the passer on 3rd and long. If you don't have an effective short-intermediate passing game like the Patriots, then Von Miller will get his on 3rd and long. Heck, Von hit Brady about 5 times and the ball was out of his hand in no time at all.
I think Ray Rice has a good day and we lose this game. That said, it should be a really fun game regardless. Best of luck, chaps.

NFL.com says we clinch the AFC North with a win or a Bengals + Steelers loss, and we can clinch a playoff spot with a win or a Bengals OR Steelers loss. Pretty much a win clinches the division, but if either one of those two teams loses we clinch a spot in the playoffs. Here's to hoping the Eagles beat the Bengals tonight!

Cameron's firing scares me because Caldwell may actually realize that Ray Rice plays for the Ravens. However, I think this is a huge test. I like the Broncos on a talent edge, but we never do well in Balt. The last time Denver was riding high was two years ago when they walked into Bal 6-0 and got stomped.

This is going to be one of those games where Oher steps up and stonewalls one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL again.
No, I don't really have faith in that either. I'm actually a bit more worried about Miller lining up against Osemele though.

Exercise Video:
The immediate benefits were very apparent. I started developing muscle tone. I felt more vigorous. My balance improved. And there were benefits that... I've been in the business now about 20 years... so there were benefits that I wasn't even aware of back then, which is increasing the density of my bones, making my metabolism more efficient. Now we understand that it's more than skin deep, the advantages. But, it's also nice to look in the mirror and see that your shape is defined by your muscles rather than body fat.
I feel young. I feel wonderful when I exercise. It makes me feel vital. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wonderful for myself and sometimes, even if I'm a little tired when I start working out what I look forward to is, well, the process of working out, but also the end of the workout when I feel very relaxed and I love everyone.

The Football Association has released the following statement:
Newcastle United and Arsenal have been charged by The FA with failing to control their players following Saturday's (13 August) fixture at St James' Park.
Both clubs have been charged following a mass confrontation of players following an incident in which Arsenal's Gervinho was also shown a red card in the 75th minute.
Following Gervinho's dismissal Arsenal have today lodged a claim that the standard punishment of a three-match suspension is clearly excessive. A regulatory Commission will hear that claim on 16 August.
Meanwhile Arsenal's Alex Song has been charged separately by The FA with violent conduct following an incident earlier in the same fixture.
Both clubs have until 4pm on 18 August to respond to the charge, whilst Song must reply by 6pm on 16 August.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The University of Miami was represented by 156 student-athletes named to the 57th annual Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll announced Tuesday.
The Honor Roll recognizes academic excellence by student-athletes during the 2012-13 academic year. It is comprised of student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a GPA of 3.00 or better for the full academic year. The conference acknowledged a record 2,909 student-athletes for their hard work in the classroom during the 2012-13 academic year.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|well, someone got perhaps the worst split interface ever designed... sucks for them, they should have done some more research...
|SOLD!! Someone's gona be happy this Winter!
NEW Splitboard Package: With bindings & skins & crampons
I have a brand new in shrink-wrap 2012 Atomic Poacher Renu Premium Splitboard Package
It's a 164 CM board
Looking to get $450 + ship
Which is a steal considering this comes with EVERYTHING you need.... minus poles
This splitboard setup comes with:
Atomic Poacher Premium Renu Splitboard
Atomic Poacher Skins
Atomic Poacher Premium Bindings (fits sizes US Men's 7-14)
Multi Cramp-on Tool
Atomic Board Flex Rating: 8: Atomic's Flex Ratings go from 2 (soft) to 8 (stiff), so this board is one of the stiffest that Atomic makes. Stiffer boards have higher top speeds, better stability at speed and better stability through bumpy/choppy terrain--but softer boards are easier to learn on and easier to do terrain park tricks wtih. At a rating of 8, the rider using this board would be a very good snowboarder, capable of riding anywhere on the mountain and doing so with a good bit of speed.
Atomic's Pop Rocker FR is Atomic's off-piste camber shape. While not completely reverse camber, the amount of this board that is rockered is more significant than any of the other Pop Rocker versions. The longer rockered section in the nose means that this board will have exceptional float in powder and choppy snow, and the flat camber underfoot will provide a stronger edge hold than a reverse camber ride.
Atomic Renu: This Renu product uses high quality recycled and eco-friendly materials to lessen the rider's carbon footprint.
1 Degree Power Bevel: This minimal edge angle allows for quicker edge to edge transitions than more exaggerated bevels. This edge bevel is built for speed and stability, but not for beginners, as you are more likely to catch an edge.
Heel Riser in Hike Mode: The clips that are used to lock the two planks together to make the snowboard, can be placed under your boots while hiking to elevate your heel (like an AT binding). It isn't necessary to raise your heel, and people familiar with cross country skis may prefer to not use the clamps. For most people though, skinning uphill is made easier with some heel lift.
Hike and Ride Technology: The binding system that comes with this splitboard package can be changed on the fly between the Hike and Ride settings. Using the included cramp-ons as a torquing tool, you can quickly change the orientation of the bindings from ski style to snowboard style. In both situations, you will be wearing snowboard boots. We tested it out in our warm offices and it took us about 2 minutes to change the skis from hike to ride. We do recommend you get familiar with the adjustment in the comfort of your home before going out to shred. It isnt difficult to adjust, but with cold hands and winds whipping around at the top of a peak, 2 minutes turns into 10 minutes pretty quickly.
7200 Sintered Base: The stone ground finish of this base, along with the 7200 level Sintered material improves glide, and is typically found on intermediate and above level boards. This is often called a UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) base.
Truth3 Lightweight Wood Core: The Truth3 core is made of specially chosen, high-density Poplar along the edges and the inserts, and specially chosen low density poplar in between. This makes the board strong and beefy where it needs to be, and superlight where it doesn't.
Binding Construction: These bindings have a standard snowboard binding style. That is, an ankle strap a toe strap, a fortified highback, and a baseplate that can be adjusted for different foot angles. These bindings use Atomic's Nanoframe plastic-fiberglass material, which is very lightweight but strong.
V-Shape and Directional Flex: When the board is linked up in the Ride setting, it has a V-Shape sidecut and a directionally significant flex. This means that the tip of the board is wider than the waist and the tail, leaving the general shape of the board to look like a V. The shape (and swallow tail) of this board indicate that it was primarily designed for softer snow conditions; not that you can't ski hard snow (including resort groomers), because you can, but this type of shape was made to throw soft snow around with ease.
Atomic Poacher Skins: These skins were made specifically for the Atomic Poacher splitboard. This is very convenient, because finding skins that would work on a splitboard (without having to cut them or alter them by hand) would be pretty difficult. And also expensive.

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had the familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
June 19, 2012, Washington, DC: In June 2011, I embarked on a year-long project that would bring me back to each of my hometowns to learn more about the places I'd lived. There were many that had shaped me — from Montreal and Toronto to San Francisco and New York — and I wanted to get a good feel for their geography, their people, their neighborhoods and their pulses. I also wanted to examine, broadly speaking, why people live where they do and what makes a place feel like home. With ample vacation days, multiple frequent flyer tickets, many tanks of gas, several bicycles, and a few good pairs of walking shoes, I covered extensive ground in twelve months. The project, Neighborhood Nomad, is documented on this blog, derived from a love of travel and a longstanding obsession with the power of place.
The study came full circle this weekend, ending up where it started on a Virginia vineyard. And so with the advent of summer comes an opportunity to revisit the year I spent traveling back to my former neighborhoods. I've come miles from one year ago, and I've logged all of them in hopes of better understanding the places we called home.
Read on for a chronological overview of this year's travels back home…

Having won six straight games at their home away from home EnergySolutions Arena the BYU Cougars hope to continue their success in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
The 9-4 Cougars tangle with 9-3 Virginia Tech of the Atlantic Coast Conference at noon in their last nonconference basketball game before West Coast Conference play begins next week. The game will be televised by ESPNU.
The Cougars knocked off the Hokies 70-68 last January in Blacksburg, Va.
BYU is coming off an easy 84-54 win over Northern Arizona on Thursday, but Saturday's game figures to be much more competitive. The Hokies, with first-year coach James Johnson at the helm, feature the leading scorer in college basketball, point guard Erick Green.
The 6-foot-3 Green is averaging 25.4 points per game.
The Cougars are more of an inside-oriented team, with senior forward Brandon Davies averaging 20.3 ppg. Wing Tyler Haws is averaging 19.3 ppg.
This is the second game at ESA this season for the Cougars, who downed Montana 85-60 here on Nov. 28. BYU has not lost at ESA since Dec. 8, 2007, when Michigan State took a 68-61 win over the Cougars.
Since then, BYU has defeated Utah State, San Francisco, Hawaii, Arizona, Oregon and Montana at the home of the NBA's Utah Jazz.

Saving several graphics this way, I have found the same tiny error
on the very same line each time. The EPS file is a text file, and
on line 1149 of that file, near the end of the lengthy header of
PostScript definitions, the 2nd number is missing a negative sign.
For instance, these are lines 1148-1152 of one of my EPS files
created by using "Edit: Save selection as... EPS" from the menu;
1.000000 1.000000 scale % line 1148
0.000000 329.250000 translate % line 1149
1.000000 -1.000000 scale % line 1150
-0.000000 -0.000000 translate % line 1151
/Mleft 0.000000 def % line 1152
The file is fixed if the "329.250000" is edited to be "-329.250000".
By the way, you can get an error-free EPS file of a graphic, about
the same size file as using the menu choice above but in simpler
PostScript, by using the Display command, e.g.,
gr = Plot3D[ Sin[x]Cos[y], {x,-3,3}, {y,-3,3}];
Display["filename.eps", gr, "EPS"];

text: Tap Oil Limited is an independent oil & gas exploration and production company with interests in Australia and South East Asia. Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, Tap was incorporated on 14 March 1995 and subsequently listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:TAP) in September 1996. At the time, Tap's primary asset was 12.2229% of the Harriet oil and gas fields obtained from Marubeni Oil. In 1997, Tap farmed into WA-234-P and participated in the Woollybutt exploration well, resulting in a commercial oil discovery. Commissioned in 2003, the Woollybutt field has exceeded expectations and produced 29 million barrels of oil from an estimated 40 million barrels ultimately recoverable. In 2010 Tap was formally awarded a significant interest in Offshore Accra Contract Area by the government of Ghana. Later in the year Tap acquired 75% of Northern Gulf Petroleum Pte Ltd, which holds a 40% interest three concessions in north and central Gulf of Thailand (G3/48, G1/48, G6/48). In addition, Tap has acquired a significant offshore acreage position in the Australian North West Shelf and intends to continue a measured exploration and development program over the coming years.

Work here never ends.
Adaptation. Given my extreme negative reaction to Being John Malkovich (a movie that pushed many of my buttons), I went to see this with some trepidation. In the end I found I didn't enjoy it very much; Malkovich, while personally disturbing, was more expertly made on every level. I found the self-referential quality of Adaptation more irritating than clever. There were interesting parts, but it didn't live up to the hype I'd heard.
Revolution OS. This is playing in town now. I went to see it at a film festival and was disappointed. It has no emotional hook.
Someone leaked a Sun memo about the pitfalls of Java. I read bits of it. It was interesting, though I see it largely as a condemnation of one particular implementation.
Lately I've been looking into bytecode verification again. It turns out that the libgcj verifier has some bugs (and the gcj verifier has rather more). I've been wondering how I could ever have confidence in a verifier implementation. A large-enough test suite would help, but it would hardly be definitive. Maybe someone can write a proof for a program like this. That would be genuinely interesting.


text: Well I didn't chicken out and got prepared for the USPSA match today. But we are having a kind of mini tropical storm this weekend! It started raining and the wind blowing about 7pm Friday and has not stopped for almost 24 hours now and is supposed to continue into tomorrow! The last I heard we should get some 8 inches of rain....I think we have that much already! Oh well, the local range has IDPA matches on the 4th Sunday of the month so hopefully I'll make that one.

Arsenal to wear 'poppy shirts' this weekend
Robin van Persie with the Poppy shirt
Arsenal Football Club will commemorate Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day for the match against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
The entire Arsenal team will wear a special one-off shirt with a poppy embroidered into the Club's home kit for the fixture.
In honour of the many servicemen and women who have given their lives for peace the special shirts will be used for fundraising purposes, with the proceeds raised being donated to The Royal British Legion.
Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said: "We are proud and honoured that the team will be wearing special shirts with embroidered poppies for the match against West Brom on Saturday.
"It's extremely important that as a Club, we pay our respects to the many servicemen and women who've given their lives for peace, and also ex-service and those who are currently serving.
"The response in recent seasons from Arsenal supporters to our special poppy shirts has been phenomenal and we hope that we can once again raise vital funds for this worthwhile cause."
Following Saturday's match, each shirt will be signed by the respective player and auctioned in aid of The Royal British Legion, an organisation which supports servicemen and women together with their families.
Further details on how to bid for one of the special shirts will appear next week on Arsenal.com and in future Arsenal publications.
West Bromwich Albion are also actively also raising funds for The Royal British Legion, with the entire team wearing special poppy shirts for their recent home match against Liverpool on Saturday, October 29.
The Baggies are already auctioning their worn match shirts to raise funds for this fantastic cause. For further information regarding West Brom's poppy shirts, please visit www.wba.co.uk.
Arsenal supporters will be able to obtain poppies and donate to The Royal British Legion on Saturday through the many poppy collectors who will be present at Emirates Stadium.
For further information regarding The Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal, please visit www.poppy.org.uk. This year's Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day is being commemorated on Sunday, November 13.

Jon, is Zoey closer to 6 months or 5? London can sit up if i prop her up, but she cant sit up on her own from lying down. She is getting better without having anything keeping her stable behind her, but still not quite there yet. She is getting daring though, i think she is so proud of her rollover abilities that she just gung ho's it in the crib without considering how close she is to the crib rail. Never winds up good for her. lol
This is mainly directed at xstartxtodayx since your pictures always come out amazing(I've been looking through the photography forum as well ).. I have my friends camera today and have been trying without success to get pictures that look at least half as good as yours.. Most so far have been sad attempts to get both of us in a shot, and when he wakes up from his nap I'm going to concentrate on just him, but do you have any tidbits of advice(besides my obvious lack of lighting issues)??
Also, he is clearly more interested in the camera than his mommy. & I had to wayyy over edit this one just to get it to where we are visible instead of black blobs..
That's a cute shot. xstartxtodayx has mad skills (check his flickr) and I'm sure he'll give you some great advice... but if he isn't back before that q-t-pie wakes up let me make a few suggestions...
In the shot you posted above, you're back lit which is why you guys came out too dark. If you can, take the shot with the light coming from the side or behind the photographer.
If the camera you are using has an external flash (not the one that is built in to the camera) try aiming it at the ceiling and bouncing the light. It will diffuse the light and will make your subject plenty bright without throwing harsh shadows.
A simple background helps too... so if you have a white sheet that you can put your baby on or sit him in front of will help make for nice shot too.
Last but not least... xstartxtodayx has some serious post production skills with photoshop so he can adjust the white balance of his shots and color saturation, etc. That makes a big difference too, so don't feel bad if your shots don't come out like his
Keep shooting!!!!!! And have fun

"We'll not risk another frontal assault... that rabbit's DYNAMITE!"
Holly, I can't tell from the shot what the settings and camera was since the exif is missing but it looks like the iso was kind of high causing some graininess, without a flash it is tough to get enough light and focus with a decent shutter speed. If you must use the on camera flash try to diffuse it; even folding up a tissue a couple of times and wrapping it around the pop up flash will make a world of difference by softening the flash, this way you can get a slightly faster shutter speed and use a little lower iso (not sure what camera you were using but somewhere around 400 and under is a safe iso, also try to get an aperture of f/4-f/5.6 to keep the both of you in focus). Lastly, I'll admit I stink at self portrait type shots b/c I can never get the camera to focus properly, your shot is better than any self type shot I've taken.
Thanks for the help fellas!!! My boyfriend tried to explain to me what you meant by iso and everything else.. I think I figured it out.. I was shooting with a Canon Rebel XS and the iso was at like 1400?? 1600?? Something really high.. So I found a new spot with better light, turned it down, put on the 50mm lens, and went back at it today Maybe by tomorrow I'll have them ready(I'm going to make a flickr).. Some of them turned out REALLY good!!!
"We'll not risk another frontal assault... that rabbit's DYNAMITE!"
Here's one from the other day of Zoey hugging our Maine Coon Lucy. Zoey loves our cats (we have 2 Maine Coons, Lucy is the more needy one so she's always around us), she gets so excited when we put her near Lucy that she smiles and makes all sorts of noises while trying to pet (grab/pull?) Lucy's fur. Lucy usually leaves right away but lately she's been putting up with more and more; on this occasion we sat Zoey near Lucy and next thing you know Zoey had lunged towards Lucy and hugged her Lucy just sat there for a few moments which was long enough for my wife to grab my camera from the next room and for me to snap 3-4 shots, luckily 1 came out and caught Zoey's expression of happiness
^^^ ha! Oskar loves our cats too
Our oldest cat, Bubba, totally puts up with him. Bubba is 17 years old and really seems to like Oskar. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any good shots of the two of them yet.
The Kittah in question

"We'll not risk another frontal assault... that rabbit's DYNAMITE!"
So I have only edited these 3 so far(they are up there in my favorites so I wanted to see if I could figure out photoshop with them).. I may have over edited? I don't know.. Anywho, its funny you guys posted baby/pet pictures because one of my favorites was the baby and pet!!
(Be honest with opinions please, I'm trying to learn )
I remember Bubba now from back when all I would shoot were kittehs, now they hardly ever get photographed (i think they might resent Zoey for stealing the camera's attention).
Holly, he's adorable and those shots look great. Technically speaking now... #2 is my favorite by far, you had good lighting and it looks like you nailed the focus on his eyes, the composition is great (rule of 3rds in full effect, his face/eyes is right one the right 3rd dividing line) and the depth of field is nice clearly showing he is the subject and not the dog (but the dog is awesome in there, with him blurred it has that sense of motion so we clearly know he's slurping those little feet ), the only thing I would have done differently is use a slightly lower aperture (exif shows f/11 was used, I tend to stay at or below f/5.6, this will also increase the shutter speed and make it easier to hand hold while increasing your chances of catching a moving baby ). #1 gets points for capturing the moment and all of that happiness but from a technical standpoint the focus is off, looks like his robe was in focus instead of his eyes, the lighting looks really good once again though. I also love #3, shots like this are adorable and I like that contrast from the bright light on top of the frame... I like the shot as is but am curious what a b&w conversion would look like.
You know I didn't even notice the first one was off focus well until you mentioned it of course.. I guess I got caught up in the happy face.. Also I'm not sure what a aperture is or how in the world you would know what I used ahah but I can figure that out, thank you for the advice I finished up the rest of the pictures and made myself a little flickr account to start putting everything in one place.. I just want to show off a few more pictures lol, hey I started the thread I'll post 40 huge pics if I wanna
Okay, I'm done for now I swear ahah. I think if you click on the pictures it takes you to the flickr I made??? There's super cute doggy pictures to but I didn't feel right posting them in here.. Again, advice is much appreciated!!
Holly, those shots are all adorable I love shots like 2 and 4, those precious little details and moments. The 3rd shot has a nice cinematic feel to it, I love the way his eyes are looking up like that.
now for a few of Zoey
Great stuff as always Jon!
Holly- I'm totally stoked to see you getting excited about photography! There's a lot to lean but the good news is that it's easier than you think.
Aperture refers to a function of the lens. Inside the lens are a bunch of blades that open up and control the amount of light then gets to the sensor or film. When you have a large (think wide open) aperture, more light can get in and that means you can take photo's at faster shutter rates. Wide open apertures also give you that cool partial out of focus effect (Bokeh), where part of the image is sharp and the rest is fuzzy.
When you have a small aperture (think pin hole) less light can get in. That means it takes a longer shutter speed to expose your image. The advantage of a small aperture is that more of your image is in focus. This is great for landscapes and stuff.
You can tell what aperture you have by the "f-stop" you are using. On the side of your lens you will see something like f/1.8 or maybe f/ 3.5 - 5.whatever this is telling you the maximum aperture of your lens.
On the 50mm prime you are using, it can open all the way up to f/1.8. That's really wide open. So you can take shots in lower light, or at really fast shutter speeds because so much light is getting in.
To learn more check this out... http://www.tutorial9.net/photography...graphy-basics/
One last thing... you can manually set your aperture when you shoot. It's really easy to do. On top of your camera you will see a wheel with the letters P A S M and a bunch of symbols. They stand for Partial, Aperture, Shutter, Manual...etc.
You can shoot in Aperture mode and the camera will take care of all of the other settings. Just move the wheel on top of your camera to the "A" setting. Now you can adjust the aperture by spinning the wheel by your thumb.
Experiment and have fun! (sorry for the wall of text )

just adorable... babies in stripes are a match made in heaven do those mittens actually work for you? We had them and gave up on them after the first night b/c our daughter would get them off within 5 minutes luckily we were able to keep her nails pretty short and she didn't scratch herself too bad or too often.
A few more from Butler Orchard... we went back today and had some more fun

The Math Foundations Center (MFC), located in the MS building near the center of campus, consists of five classrooms, a tutoring lab, and a well-furnished computer lab containing 100 state-of-the-art computers (50 of which were provided by the Title III grant). This building is designed exclusively to serve the needs of our developmental math students.
Hours & Location
Spring & Fall Semesters

Summer Math Boot Camp
Common Areas
The tutoring lab is open 44 hours per week and is available to students on a walk-in basis.
The computer lab is staffed with an assistant who troubleshoots computer problems and ensures that students using the computers are assisted by tutors for the online portions of their math class.
Title III Grant monies were also used to update the computer lab, tutoring lab, and five classrooms with sleek new modular furniture designed to facilitate collaborative learning in the classrooms and labs.
Classroom Technology
Three new state of the art overhead Short Throw Projectors were installed in three of the classrooms.
These new projectors allow instructors to write on the white board with electronic pens and overlay graphs, pictures, and any other graphic available in electronic form.
In addition, everything that was written during class may be saved in electronic form and made available to students for online access.
Surveys of students show that they believe the furniture, computer labs, and new projectors contributed to learning. Furthermore, evidence collected on classroom usage indicated that faculty were using the new modular furniture in ways which facilitated the collaborative learning approach desired with the redesign.
MFC Data-Facility Usage and Student Satisfaction
One promising data set shows a dramatic increase in usage of the Math Foundations Center.
The year prior to the remodel, the TutorTrac system logged 595 students and 3,365 visits to the math tutoring center (Fall Semester 2011). In Fall 2012, 941 students (a 58% increase) had a total of 5,408 visits (a 60% increase) to the redesigned center.
These changes can be attributed to both the curriculum design changes and the facility redesign.
According to a student survey conducted after the redesign, 89% of students agreed that the new modular furniture and the short throw projectors contributed to learning.
Almost all students (97%) agreed that the new Math Foundations Lab has adequate access to math software and programs.
Also, 92% of students agreed that there was sufficient space in the Math Foundations Tutoring Center for learning enhancement activities (2013 MCC Math Student Course Evaluation: Furniture, Support Tools, Lab and Tutoring, ASU Office of Evaluation and Educational Effectiveness).
Furthermore, in a facility usage study conducted by MCC's Office of Research and Planning, 57% of observed classrooms were using the modular furniture in clusters (groups) as opposed to traditional rows (Title III Math Learning Spaces Observation Study Fall 2013, Office of Research and Planning, November 2013).

Sorry if I posted this in wrong area, new. Hope Admin will send it to right forun.
I have an ultrasonic cleaner I used for other things, but was wondering about using it to clean my guns. Is this OK? Is this an acceptable way of cleaning, especially new guns, and then use air and heatgun/hairdryer to ensure all the moisture is removed? Is there recommended cleaner/degreasers used for this? I have new 380 Bodyguard and Ruger SR22 coming in a couple of days and I shoot a Beretta Cougar 9mm a couple of days a week and it sure would take a load off of a lot of cleaning. Thanks, I really enjoy reading all the opinions and knowledge shown by everyone.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|yes im getting 12 volts to it, problem solved the module had burned up, i got a module off another sbc that i have and put it in and instantly fired up the bad module even smelled burnt. thanks for you reply SSedan64
|Are you getting full 12V+ to the Distributor?
sbc 327 wont crank after new distributor install
I have a 64 sj sbc 327 and about 2 months ago i replaced the original 6 inch balancer with a 8 inch balancer that had the timing mark 10 degrees before the keyway and the original was 2 degrees before the keyway. i bought a chrome bolt on timing pointer for it. I replaced the the distributor because it was the computer controlled one that i replaced with a new vacuum advance one. So brought the timing mark on the balancer up to zero and it was on the compression stroke because i had the driver side valve cover off and both #1 valves was closed and i heard the air go past my finger. The problem is now it wont fire up at all but it will turn over i even swap the new coil for one of my dads truck and stilll same thing so i put the new coil back in. i checked to see if it had spark and it had a very weak orange spark. what do you think it can be the car is a 84 cutlass could the ignition switch do this. Its a all new distributor and the motor only has about 800 miles on it since a complete rebuild in march of last year.

Hey, How About We Accept David Letterman's Apology?
posted at 8:50 am on June 16, 2009 by Jim Treacher
Since I'm being congratulated on both the left and the left for starting the ball rolling on this — I can't take all the credit, guys, but thanks for the high praise — it's probably expected of me to give a public response to Letterman's apology last night.
He did the right thing.
He gave an apology in which he actually apologized to the specific people he wronged. Which, to some observers, is apparently optional. I don't think it is, nor does anyone else who's honest enough to admit what the word "apology" means, so I'm glad he specifically included an expression of regret for his actions.
And he named the wronged parties, particularly Willow and Bristol Palin. That's the main thing. Whether he intended it or not, he hurt a kid whose only crime was going to a baseball game, and her older sister, whose only crime was having a child out of wedlock just like David Letterman. Well, that's putting aside the unforgivable crime of being born to Sarah Palin.
He said he was sorry, and he didn't play it for laughs (mostly). It might be a week late, but he did finally swallow his considerable pride and say it. And it only took half as long as the last "apology," maybe because he didn't yet again read off the jokes that got him in trouble in the first place and wait for the audience to applaud him for it.
Some people are focusing on his demurral that his intent didn't match the public's perception. But keep in mind, he then immediately said it didn't matter, and nobody's to blame for what happened but him. Basically, he was saying, "I didn't mean it the way it came out, but the results are still my fault." I would have liked him to explain how he and his staff were interested enough in a state governor who lost the last election to track her movements, but too lazy to make sure that their cruel slur against her daughter was actually directed at the correct one. But he did say that he honestly had no idea Willow was at that game. He should've said so to begin with, but at least he finally realized how important that part was.
I'm not saying I'm suddenly a Letterman fan again, but we need to accept his apology. Sarah has, and good for her. She was right to call him out on his phony apology, and she's right to accept his real one.
Now maybe she can accept his invitation and take her message to Letterman's audience. Maybe if he meets her face-to-face, he'll realize she and her family are actual human beings and not just props in his game of Bash the Evil Conservatives to Keep Up with Stewart and Colbert. Heck, he might even listen to what she has to say. He might realize she has something to say.
And if she gets in a few zingers at his expense, as is her due, you can bet he'll go out of his way to be gracious about it.
Well, a promise is a promise, so now that he's said pretty much what I and many others demanded he say: David Letterman does not think raping little girls is funny.
P.S. I hope some can accept those of us who accept the apology.
P.P.S. To the people who are comparing this to the Imus debacle: Do what you want, but I have no interest in emulating Al Sharpton. He demands an apology and then, when it's given, turns it down as insufficiently sincere. Most un-Christianlike behavior for a purported man of God. It might be an effective way to browbeat somebody into shutting up, but I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.
