Wedding photos: if you had to do this...
My brother is getting married in Sept. and they're doing it all low-key. Getting married in his in-laws' back yard, family member officiating, no big shebang...
Anyway, they know I'm handy with a camera and they've asked me to take pictures at the ceremony (the only photographer!) and reception.
I'm already stressed out. I've got some good shots at other weddings, but never as the "official" photographer or anything. Both of them, and our families, appreciate good photography, so it's not like simple snapshots will be sufficient.
I have a D40x and 35-200/3.5 (IIRC, will correct later too lazy right now) and that's pretty much it. I have another zoom lens, but it's not as nice as the one I normally use.
What would you want to have to shoot a wedding outdoors? I'm thinking a real speedlight would be good incase it's overcast as opposed to the built-in, but I've never used one and would have to play with it a lot beforehand to figure out what I'm doing (of course that's assuming I can afford to swing one).
Just wanted to start thinking about things so maybe I can watch on CL locally for something if I need other equipment.... any help is appreciated.

you get what you pay for. Spring for a good photographer, it will save headaches later on during the marriage. Especially with the wife needing to remember what he looked like 100lbs ago, and vice versa.
Post a pic of the bride and maybe the good photographer isnt needed or wanted.

It's not my call as to the photographer. If I don't do it, they'll just ask another friend or family member.
I don't mind the idea of doing it, don't mistake my nerves about it as reluctance. You'll just have to take my word for it that a professional won't happen and it won't matter to them now or later. They're just those kinds of folks. I'm just looking to do as good a job as I can and if it justifies getting another camera toy, so be it

The pop up flash isn't going to even come close to providing enough fill for shots with a zoom lens. Something like the SB-600 or 800 would be ideal. You'll probably want to spend the 15 bucks on a diffuser for it also. The 18-55mm kit lens with the D40 is a pretty sharp, cheap lens that works good outside, however isn't very long. Something like the 70-200 f/2.8 would be sweet, but comes at a high price.
If that lens you have now is the old nikkor 35-200, you'll probably want something that will focus on the D40x also. Focus is one less thing to worry about while shooting IMHO.
You'll want to stock up on batteries and memory cards also. If you shoot RAW you can fix a lot more in post, rather than jpeg. Takes about 12mb per shot, but well worth the space when it comes to adjusting WB/Exposure, and other stuff after the shot.
I'm no pro, and i dont shoot weddings. I have been asked to, and simply dont want the responsibility of people not being happy with their wedding pics, no matter how much they tell you that they dont care.
Hope this helps.

I'm no pro either but that 70-200 VR lens is very nice but I think it comes in at 650-800 price wise but well worth it if your going to use it all the time. A tripod is also a nice option. Other than that, I would spring for the D90. Maybe they will help you pay for it for taking pictures for them.

My sister got married in july, and they hired russ miller to do the photography. What i thought was cool was that my mom bought 30 or so disposable cameras and put them on every table. there were some neat pics to say the least.

I have done a few weddings this past year. Best I can tell you is get a good flash and also look at getting an off camera mount (Flip Bracket) for it. This will get rid of all red eye. The flash needs to be up and away from the lens. Also carry lots or extra batteries for the flash, maybe one for the camera too and at least one spare memory card. Last wedding I took about 850 photos myself as the second photographer.

you should be able to do it.. i do a bit of wedding photography my brother and I have a photography Business, just invest in a good flash, with omi bounce and shoot.. they will turn out well.. maybe not super pro but pretty dang good.. just try to watch whats in the back ground and such. if you can get a constant 2.8 lens that will help alot in lowering the depth of field as to keep the background not so noticeable. with the D40 you can just up the ISO for indoor stuff. or quicker exposure. thats whats nice about the newer digital upping the iso a little helps make up for not having a 2.8 lens and most people will not notice a difference. during the ceremony is the only real stressful time.. cause things only happen once.. but you can always have them repose for a kiss.. or anything after the fact too..
good luck.. just take your time.. have extra cards, and LOTS of batteries for camera and flash.. and if you get a flash bracket cool..they do help.. i got one off ebay for like 50 bucks.. works great.. also shoot in RAW so you can adjust exposure and Whitebalance afterwards if you forget to change it while shooting.. will give you just a little room to play..

I am (or was) a pro photographer. I've got over 50 weddings under my belt. My .02 is to decline the invitation to shoot their wedding. It is a once in a lifetime event and I cant tell you how many horror stories I've heard about friends/family shooting weddings.
There is a reason people are willing to spend a couple grand for a good photographer.
Once the wedding is over the bride and groom will have two things. A overpriced dress that sits in a box for the rest of their lives and the pictures. Good wedding photographs are worth 10 times what was paid up front.
That being said, if you still do decide to do this, make sure you are prepared.
Main camera and a couple lenses
Back-up camera and a couple lenses.
TWO flash units and PLENTY of batteries.
A couple extra memory cards. (SHOOT A MINIMUM OF 500 FRAMES, FULL RESOLUTION)
Lens hood is a necessity for an outdoor wedding!
Do you know how to pose a group?
Do you know how to pose a couple?
Do you know how to CONTROL a group?
Do you know how to light a group?
Can you do all that FAST w/ grandmas, aunts, uncles ect looking over your shoulder and giving advice?
Is the reception in or out?
Do you know how to shoot CONFIDENTLY in everything from heavy overcast to bright, direct sun?
Do you have to capability and knowhow to shoot w/ more than one flash?
Do you know how to shoot fast? Can you time your shots well? (DONT MISS THAT KISS!! DONT MISS THE CAKE CUT!!)
Most importantly, can you GUARANTEE 100% that you and none of your equipment will fail to miss ANYTHING?
When I shot, I charged a minimum of 2K and usually cleared 5K by the time everything was done. I was good, and people like my style. That being said, I still got VERY stressed out, I still missed things occasionally, and my top of the line equipment (hasselblad) would let me down now and again.
After 50 plus weddings, I decided that it wasnt worth it, no matter how much people were willing to pay me.

I've done it.
Take a look at 2-3 pro wedding albums - there are several "stock" shots you need to get:
Bridal party together at ceremony - easier to do in low-key ceremony
Bride & groom together
Bride & parents
Groom & parents
It's all pretty formulaic - just think it through ahead of time, make a list, and do it. Just make sure they understand that an amateur family member will not shoot like a pro. The disposable camera idea works well too - a lot of people like the random snaps as much as the pro shots.
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door.

Personally, I think the biggest downside would be that you're going to miss out on the wedding and reception. You're going to end being so focused on taking pictures that you won't really get to participate. Is that something you're okay with?
If you okay with that and they are truly okay with you shooting the pictures rather than a pro, then do it up! Even if you only do a mediocre job at least you're going to have more invested than a typical friend being that he's your brother so you'll probably do a nicer job. cjric does brings up some good points to think about though.

A buddy thought it was a great idea, top put disposable cameras on each table at his reception. They ended up with many shots of my penor. I grabbed just about every one of the cameras, some times four at a time. I went to the potty a lot that evening.

WOW, holy crap I had no idea I'd get all of this feedback on here...
I need to explain a lot more, I apologize. They do not want and will not stand for a "pro" experience here, that's why I said that isn't an option, even if I wanted to spring for it for them. And most importantly, they're not asking me to replicate it.
These are two very non-traditional/alternative 30 year olds that have been to a SHITTON of weddings and they despise the idea of a traditional pro photographer (and a boatload of the other traditional wedding activities). They've hated watching photographers trying to document every little thing and other than a shot of the two of them and them with the parents, there will not be the litany of group shots or any other posed shots. They've made that very clear from the beginning of the discussion.
They're all about just enjoying the day (including me), not documenting it or doing things that they don't want to bother with just for the sake of "tradition".
SO, with all that being said, this will not require 500 shots (they'd probably be upset if I came anywhere close to that) because 1. they don't want all that and 2. they want me to still enjoy the wedding myself.
I fully expect that there will be hand-out cameras for folks at the reception and those are the kinds of photos they'll really love (you'd just have to know them to understand). We did that at our wedding and have seen the shots from many others, it's really cool and I recommend it.
I want to be able to do a good job on the handful of posed shots, and it sounds like a separate flash and the flip mount would be a good idea.
I have a nice tripod I got myself a while back, so that's set and I have a spare battery and card for the camera (probably just get one new one to give them afterward with a disc of the shots as well).
I've never shot RAW and I've never post-processed anything. I've always tried to get it on the camera based on learning on film. For this, it sounds like a better idea to do RAW and either find someone or let them find someone to do the post on the shots.
Oh, and I was wrong on the lens I have, it's an AF-S Nikkor 18-135 1:3.5-5.6. I've really liked it in the four months or so that I've had it. From what I've been told, the yard/area for the ceremony isn't large, so I don't think I'll need anymore zoom than that. Maybe I can get them to give me a photo and some dimensions...
Great suggestions folks, but let's drop the idea of backing out of doing it I understand where you're coming from but this is far from the types of situations you're thinking about, you'll have to trust me on that one.

Another neat thing I was going to do that I saw once: the photographer pulled photos off the camera between the ceremony and reception and set up a laptop running though a slideshow of them during the reception. Since a bunch of the people at the reception were likely never to see the wedding album, I thought that was pretty sweet and it drew a ton of attention as people wandered through the reception all evening.

We do that slideshow presentation at every wedding.. shoot in Raw + basic and load the basics on the laptop and play it.. people LOVE it.. always a big hit.. your lens should be fine.. if you need to zoom more.. walk closer.. your feet make a huge amount of zoom up at a wedding.. sounds like you will be fine.. just have fun...

x2 everything cjric said.... We have done several wedding of all kinds and the wedding your brother wants... done that too. Don't do the laptop it's more trouble than it's worth, Wedding Photographers use that to promote themselves more than anything.
You've set your mind to do it, so I won't tell why you shouldn't everybody has covered that. But you should have a backup camera and flash (not pop up). We carry four camera bodies with us to every wedding and we have had camera malfunctions...
I know they say they don't care and it's all good... but you just never know.
Extra camera body, flash and lots of batteries.... Wedding are the most stressful on those that are working... even the little backyard weddings.
All that said I still wouldn't do it... But then I get paid for that kind of stress!

Tuesday, October 2
At some stage this season I was going to pen my thoughts after a defeat. Despite hoping we will never lose any game, no team in the history of football has gone on to win all four trophies in a season.
That doesn't make it any more disappointing of course, especially with the nature of the two goals conceded and after making such a solid start to the season.
Personally I don't mind the lunchtime kick-offs as although it means an early start for many of us it normally gives you all of Saturday evening to enjoy the post match revelry. Even if that can be a little low key after a defeat!
Chelsea are good side, that's worth mentioning before we start I feel. Anyone who didn't think that is a little way off the truth in my opinion. As a result Saturday was always going to be our toughest test yet.
Overall, looking back at the match, did we deserved to take all three points? For me probably not, I do think however, we created comfortably enough on the day to at least have come away with something.
Much has been said about the fact we conceded from two set pieces and having had time to analyse both on the television since the match, for me the second one is the most disappointing.
A certain degree of praise has to be given to the scorer of the first goal in my book, but then again having played up front myself I would say that!
The most frustrating part to the second is the fact we were very much on top at the stage we conceded, looking sharper and more positive than the first half and definitely the team more likely to go on and take the three points.
'Soft' is probably the best word to describe it and unfortunately it proved absolutely crucial with things not going for us in front of goal for the remainder of the half.
The nature of the busy schedule means we have no time to dwell on the defeat as we look to build on our winning Champions League start on Wednesday night.
A victory will be the perfect way to hopefully start another unbeaten run.
Come on you reds!

Arsenal face Southampton in their fourth match of the Premier League campaign on Saturday.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
- Arsenal have won more tackles (59) than any other team in the Premier League this season (Fig 1)
- The Gunners have kept three successive clean sheets at the start of a top-flight season for the first time since 1924/25. In Figure 2, we examine each player's individual defensive contribution
- (Figure 1)
(Figure 2)
OLD BOY v NEW BOY - PLAYER COMPARISON
Theo Walcott burst on to the scene at Southampton as a 16-year-old, and quickly forced his way into the England squad. He is now a regular at international level, and has recently been joined by former team-mate Adam Lallana in Roy Hodgson's squad.
The Southampton midfielder has had more than double the number of minutes on the pitch as Walcott this season, and will be one of the visitors' dangermen on Saturday. His passing accuracy, while inferior to Walcott's, is still impressively high (87.5 per cent) and Arsenal will have to keep him quiet if they are to extend their clean sheet record to four successive games.
If Walcott starts against his former club after illness he is likely to be central to the action. The 23-year-old's passing accuracy rate in his opponents' half this season is an excellent 85 per cent, while he has won 52.9 per cent of his duels. This compares favourably to Lallana, who has won just 26.7 per cent of his duels.
Both men possess the quality to cause defenders problems at Emirates Stadium this weekend. It will be fascinating to watch.
- Southampton have allowed their opponents more shots on target against them than any other team (19)
- Arsenal have allowed their opponents the joint-fewest shots on target in the Premier League (7)
- Kelvin Davis has saved the last three penalties he has faced in the PL - vs Man Utd and Man City this season, and Aston Villa (May 2006)
- Southampton have dropped the most points from winning positions this season (6)
- Arsenal recovered more points from winning positions than any other team in the 2011/12 Premier League (24)
- The Gunners have won none of their last four Premier League home games. The last time they went five without a win on home soil was in 1995 in the run up to George Graham's sacking
- Arsenal scored a divisional high nine goals from counter-attacks last season, have already had more shots following fast breaks this term (4) and scored their first goal via a counter
- Santi Cazorla has set up the joint-most scoring chances for team-mates from open play along with Park Ji-Sung (10)

Parts you will need:
A stock (prefferably from a higher caliber). I found semi auto stocks like the sks to be more forgiving as the internals are bigger and it can fit most of todays markers.
Handguard - whatever design suits your needs
Marker - i used an autococker trilogy, but you can use any stacked tube blowback (with the blowback disabled - see vikingshadows spump project) or phantom
Trigger/triggerguard - make your own or buy one.
Magazine - i used a btsa-17mag, but you can use the copper pipe mod and make your own
Bolt - dont make your own, go buy one, it looks alot better
Barrel - choose one that is long enough to clear the stock.
I used: An autococker trilogy, with 0.695 bore stiffi barrel (fits fs rounds perfectly!), mauser handguard and barrel band, lee enfield no4mk1 trigger/triggerguard and bolt, Bt Sa-17 magazine. 1945 SKS stock made in the tula arsenal, and 1941 SVT-40 sling.
I used an autococker trilogy, and took off the pneumatics. For the LPR, I cutt the font off and used JB weld to seal the air inside. Alternitively you can not alter the LPR and turn the adjustment screw clockwise all the way.
Then I used a hacksaw and cut the grip off leaving the sear intact.
Dremel, saw or sand the inside of the stock to fit the marker and barrel. This stock had a crossbolt in it, so the asa sat underneath this. You will want the marker sitting horizontal to slightly angled (barrel pointing down) and the handguard (if having one) fits snug with the rest of the marker. Make sure any material you take off is even, and more importanly, is equal on both sides of the stock so the marker isnt offset.
It fits! Now to cut the front to fit the mauser barrel band.
Now for the marker:
Note the feedneck. I cut it so the handguard can fit overtop of it. See "Feed" below to see what i did afterward.
Trigger Group
The trigger mechanism will be one of the most challenging aspects of your project. I suggest you be creative. I used the existing sear mechanism and a push rod to trip it. In my last project i made a custom sear out of aluminum, as well as a custom trigger attached to each other by a rod. Note in the example below i used the trilogies own stainless steel pump rod to use to trip the sear.
Also note the rod is guided through a hole in whats remaining of the grip frame, and the sear is encased in it as well.
Here is a pic of it in the stock.
There are three bolts needed in this project. There is the markers bolt, the firearm bolt (ill call if the bolt handle for simplicity), and the hex bolt and nut to join the two together. You will also need washers in between these peices. See the parts diagram below:
The bolt handle was cut from a lee enfield bolt and came already with a slot. I used a hacksaw to cut it since its hardened steel. In my last project with the spyder clone, i did not use a hex bolt, i intead attached the markers bolt directly to the bolt handle since it fit inside the hole present.
To make it swivel 90 degrees in my last project i milled a slot in the bolt handle, and tapped the markers bolt for a pin. In this project since material was already cut in the bolt, i cut the hex nut to a point such that it limits the travel of the handle. See pics:
Bolt handle down
Bolt handle up
To feed the marker, you will have to decide what kind of feed you want, and where your marker is feeding from. With trilogys, it is vertical feed. Here are some options:
1. Get a stock class feedtube that attaches directly into the feedneck like a marker - they sell for $30ish
2. Get a phantom feedtube - you may need to cut or tap a hole to do this (Or just epoxy the fucker in)
3. Make a custom copper one (see DIY section of this forum)
4. Make it BT compatible (for the SA-17 hopper)
Additionally you can make it first strike compatible, but you will need to make it springfed. In my opinion you cannot gravity feed these rounds as they are front heavy. They will fall into the marker front first and it will be a mess. If you springfeed them, it will keep the rounds parallell to each other.
I chose the difficult option 4 for the marker, with first strike compatibility. Not only did i have to convert the vertical feed to horizontal feed, i had to take out material for the first strike rounds.
To fit the SA-17 mag, i had to make a riser rail. I used Borgs Mod, but instead of a round peice of metal i used a square one.
To make it FS compatible you will need to grind, mill or otherwise take material off to fit the rounds in. Be sure to not take out too much material such that the bolt doesnt seal the breach. Buff afterwards for a smooth finish.
After all of that, you may want to finish the wood, and paint the marker. See other painting threads for tips and techniques.
And this is the pretty much finished product...
Shooting vid and minor mods to follow...
As for my next project: Mauser stock for myself.

text: There have been a number of instances recently in which competitors have been stopping part way through a program for a variety of medical reasons. They have then been able to resume the program, without penalties/deductions. Examples include Virtue & Moir at 2013 4CC, the Shibutani's at the 2012 Rostelecom Cup, and now Papadakis & Cizeron at 2013 World Juniors. Whilst it is unfortunate that those concerned have suffered injury, to allow them to resume the program without penalty/deduction is unfair to the other competitors. Tired competitors make mistakes. It is essential that everybody is judged on a level playing field, and you only get a level playing field if all competitors complete their programs without a break (i.e. incurring the same level of physical and mental attrition during a performance). Those that are allowed a break part way through their program, benefit from the fact that they are able to recuperate, and even take on food and liquid refreshments. In my view, therefore, those that stop part way through a program, for whatever reason, should either have to withdraw or be severely penalized with obligatory deductions being imposed. Moreover, a system under which no penalties are imposed is open to abuse, with injuries being feigned. I don't for a minute believed that that has ever happened so far, but it certainly becomes a potential possibility in the future the more this happens.

Go with the quarter!
You''ve already got an all-star team in place. What are you waiting for? This is easy stuff. Especially on a pickem up truck. I've got a GMC being donated to my class and I'm going to let my high school students figure it out by themselves. You've got the Pros from Dover (remember Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland in M*A*S*H?) This sounds like a vehicle you and to keep so why not do it right? Would you really want to do most of it and then find a crack frame or similar? Hot rodding is fun stuff. Why deny yourself the self-satisfaction and pride of accomplishment by only do a half way job? If I had that team of guys like you do, I'd go get another project to take more advantage of them. You will forever regret not doing it full out.
Starting a rebuild, Serious Question.
I big thing right now is... do I pull the body and do an off frame rebuild? or do I leave it on and do an on frame rebuild, I am drawn toward off frame rebuild, and I flipped a quarter and it said off frame as well, lol. Keep in mind this will be my first off frame rebuild, working with me I have 4 friends all specialized in something, Otis is great with body work, Spencer is a motor guru, and J is an electrical genius, Me? well, I'm good at standing there and picking the colors, JK, I have been painting cars for 8 years. Not to mention I have a pretty good understanding of everything else mentioned... My question is, with this team is this possible? ( I think it is) but what snags should I look forward to in a truck of this year. Its a 1947 Chevy PU... I have seen broken frames, under body rust, etc... but what are the most common issues? I also feel inclined to mention it runs and drives.
I also was thinking of just a body break down, leaving the Motor and transmission on the frame, And work like that, sure sounds better then removing all the A arms and break assembly..

Professor Beecher-Monas is co-author of textbook's new edition
Wayne State University Law School Professor Erica Beecher-Monas is one of four co-authors of a brand new edition — the seventh — of law textbook "Evidence: Teaching Materials for an Age of Science and Statutes."
The book is published by LexisNexis Law School Publishing, and it examines "the intersection of science, law, evidence and the Constitution," according to one of the co-authors, Professor Ronald Carlson of the University of Georgia Law School. The other co-authors are Law Professor Edward Imwinkelried of the University of California-Davis and Professor Julie Seaman of Emory University School of Law.
The new edition quotes from the Federal Rules of Evidence as they were "restyled" in 2011, thus giving students "an excellent foundation for understanding the issues posed by the restyling," Carlson said.
The new edition is designed to be more "user-friendly," both for students and teachers, the authors note, and has been "streamlined and shortened" from earlier editions.
Beecher-Monas teaches classes on evidence, advanced evidence, corporations, corporate finance, an advanced seminar in corporate governance, and securities regulation at Wayne Law. She joined the faculty in 2005 after nine years as a professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law. She is widely published, and often draws on her background in science for articles such as "A Ray of Light for Judges Blinded by Science: Triers of Science and Intellectual Due Process" (33 Georgia Law Review 1047 – 1999) and "Genetic Predictions of Future Dangerousness: Is There a Blueprint for Violence?" (with Edgar Garcia-Rill, 69 Journal of Law and Contemporary Problems 301 – 2006).
In 2009, she was a Fulbright Scholar to China, and she has served as an outside peer reviewer for the National Science Foundation. Before she began her teaching career, she worked as a litigation associate at Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson in New York City.
Beecher-Monas earned her bachelor's in biology from Florida International University, and a master's in anatomy and biochemistry from the University of Miami. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law, and went on to earn an LL.M. and a J.S.D, both from Columbia University School of Law.

Hello Everyone!
I was searching the web on Theravada Buddhism and discovered this forum. I am so happy to have found it!!
About me in brief: I am 35 years old and live in the state of Ohio. I am a Christian and ministry student who is studying to be a Pastor. I am a Methodist. That said, I have a deep love and admiration for other faith traditions and have been studying comparative religion for over ten years now; reading sacred texts from the world's major religions as well as travelling to experience them directly. You could say that I have a deep love for religion, faith, and the sacred in general. I cite people like Thomas Merton and Huston Smith as my heroes. This is why when I start graduate seminary next year, in the Master of Divinity program I plan to specialize my MDiv in "Interreligious Contexts" which is a Methodist program to cultivate and improve interfaith relations. This is one of my greatest passions, and to be able to go to school for it and hopefully one day work in that field is a dream come true for me!!
More particular to this forum; I have a deep love for the wisdom of Buddhism and the Theravada tradition. I was first exposed to it in a deeper way when I read Bikkhu Bodhi's "In the Buddha's Words". I then began to devour his other translations, and now have read nearly all the works that he did of the Pali Canon. This has had a tremendous impact on me spiritually.
I have often told my friends the almost paradoxical, yet totally true statement that "Buddhism has made me a better Christian and Christianity has made me a better Buddhist."
I very much look forward to taking part in the discussions on this forum!!

GOAL: Improve situation assessment, incident recognition, and response by aggregating weather and road condition data from 3,200 sources
OWNER: California DOT (Caltrans)
FUNDING: Caltrans
Phase 1: 2003 – 2006
Phase 2: 2006 – 2009
Phase 3: estimated start date July 2011
Severe weather can always wreak havoc, but especially when an operation is ill-prepared. A program launched by the California DOT (Caltrans) is working to diminish nature's damaging effects by helping public agencies better prepare for blizzards, gale-force winds, and ice storms.
WeatherShare aggregates weather and forecast data — i.e., air temperature, atmospheric pressure, average wind speed and direction, fuel moisture and temperature, maximum wind gust speed, precipitation, relative humidity, visibility, etc. — from across the state, then disseminates that information graphically at www.weathershare.org.
Before the tool was developed, emergency responders gathered and analyzed relevant data from several sources, which was tedious and time-consuming. WeatherShare complements Caltrans' road weather information system (RWIS) network of more than 100 sites by retrieving and incorporating sensor readings from several thousand other weather stations as well as data from the National Weather Service's Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) and the University of Utah's Mesowest.
"Having accurate and up-to-date information is essential for maintenance staff and emergency first responders to keep the roads safe and to respond to incidents," says Ian Turnbull, chief of ITS Engineering and Support for Caltrans District 2.
The idea of developing a single repository for weather and road condition data came from Caltrans' Innovation Team (I-Team). Created to foster and implement solutions, I-Team works with partners to develop methods, materials, and technologies that enable the agency to provide the most effective services and resources possible. The agency's Department of Research and Innovation contracted with the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University to develop WeatherShare in 2003.
Enhancements in the works
In addition to expanding WeatherShare's range, Caltrans is expanding its scope of services.
For example, wind is a problem in much of the state. When they see that a severe wind event is forecasted or occurring — and where the high winds are — employees determine what highways are in peril and notify motorists by activating a warning via the agency's Highway Advisory Radio and Changeable Message Sign network. Employees also can look ahead to see when the wind is expected to diminish, and perform other tasks until an updated advisory is required.
As development continues, Caltrans and the I-Team are looking for other ways to enhance functionality.
An aviation application is in progress to provide similar data for rural airfields and heliports. Caltrans and the Oregon DOT are looking into adding elements such as closed-circuit television images and changeable messages to provide one integrated Web site for both DOT personnel and the public. A research effort is under way to expand an integrated site to include Washington and Nevada as well as California.
"Information about the system has been getting out," says Caltrans Marketing and Outreach Specialist Rebecca Boyer, "and its use continues to grow."

Kubuntu to use LightDM
Sounds like Kubuntu might stop using KDM to start using LightDM as the default login screen, just like Ubuntu does, perhaps as soon as Kubuntu 12.04. This is an interesting twist that is making some noise, for it seems that KDE is not going in the same direction. Kubuntu would therefore deviate from what other KDE distros are doing, leading the way to uncertain territory. If the switch is successful, and I personally think it has big potential, it could add to the list of things that make Kubuntu unique today, perhaps helping to raise its popularity. The Muon Software center, DEB packaging, the many PPAs available and all other benefits that Kubuntu inherits from its older brother, along with a unique LightDM login screen, could end up turning Kubuntu into the first choice for KDE users. We will have to wait and see what happens and whether Kubuntu can push LightDM into the KDE realm, but I personally am very pleased with the direction Kubuntu is taking and how fast it is improving. Back three years ago, I considered Kubuntu a weak KDE distro when compared to the likes of PCLinuxOS, Fedora or Mandriva, but I consider it just as good today. If it continues to grow at this rate, it might become my favorite KDE distro, specially after PCLinuxOS developers decided to skip the upgrade to KDE 4.7. For those interested in this subject, please read this ARTICLE by Dave Edmunson himself, the man behind the LightDM development for Kubuntu.

Megadeth Madness
Frontman Dave Mustaine talks about reviving thrash-metal sound, getting back into the studio, hitting the road
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Union Leader | July 03. 2013 5:51AM
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Ask Dave Mustaine to define his band and he'll say, 'We're just Megadeth. We're like a jazz-classical-punk outfit with long hair.' But the band at the forefront of the rise of thrash-metal in the 1980s gets back to its roots on its new CD, 'Super Collider.'
METAL MADNESS: Dave Mustaine will bring Megadeth of the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook in Gilford on July 3.
"(Metal music) is about doing something no one else does," Mustaine said. Which is why it shouldn't be so surprising that it's constantly changing. And Megadeth, itself, has gone through a metamorphosis. Where once a hard-core image was all the rage, now it's more about the music and bands just being what they are.
But now, he said, the group is back to the hard-charging thrash metal that legions of fans fell for in the first place. Mustaine and his new-old sound will be headlining the Gigantour event at Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook in Gilford on Wednesday, July 3. The show will feature a mix of metal bands hand-picked by Mustaine, including Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and Death Division. The show will be a mix of classics and songs from "Super Collider."
"There have only been a few records so far that I thought were completely done — "Countdown (to Extinction)" was one and "(Super Collider)" is the other one," he said. "When you're recording a record, there's two things ... well, actually, three things, that can happen: You run out of time, run out of money or run out of songs. I never run out of songs."
But they have been short on time. Since Megadeth has always been a touring band, records were slotted into the rare bits of down time, he said. As for money, before returning to a big label, the band was signed to the small independent label Sanctuary. So, running out of money was all too common.
"They put out a live record —it was a two-CD record," Mustaine said, "and they only mixed one of the CDs. I'm thinking, 'You're kidding, right? You're not going to do this.' So, you know, this is just some of the stuff you guys have to tolerate as music listeners — (things) that, at the time, you really don't know about."
Starting out, the band was considered a "state of the art, speed-metal band," he said. But as the metal craze faded and the 1990s saw the rise of alternative and grunge genres —an angsty cousin to metal — bands like Megadeth found themselves in a pickle.
"Heavy metal bands had to kind of reinvent themselves," he said. "We learned a lot about melody at the time, and it produced five singles and one No. 1 with 'Trust.' When that happens, you tend to get a little excited."
He said that excitement led the band to allow producers to have a heavier hand in the making of their records, resulting in work like the album "Risk," which Mustaine said, "would have been good as a solo record, but not a Megadeth record. And I think the fans agree."
That's not the case with "Super Collider," he contends.
"This one has a real aggressive feeling, but doesn't have real juvenile lyrics to ruin it," he said.
And as for the state of metal today, Mustaine said, it, too, has changed from the hazy heavy days of Led Zeppelin, and even the punk rock-infused days of speed metal. Still, he tries not to pay too much attention.
"People would ask me, 'What kind of band are you?'," he said. "And I would say, 'We're just Megadeth. We're like a jazz-classical-punk outfit with long hair."
The show starts at 4:30 p.m. with doors open at 3:30 p.m. and parking open at 2:30 p.m. This is an all ages show. Tickets are $23.75, $33, $42 and $58, plus applicable service fees. For more information, log onto meadowbrook.net or call 293-4700.

You do understand, don't you, that High Noon's "Alter Ego" holster is made to a different standard than is the Galco?
That is, a large part of the extra thickness you noted is caused by the leather choice High Noon made.
The reason the Galco "Tuck-N-Go" works so well is because the pouch is made of thinner, more malleable material than High Noon's is. That choice is due to Galco's designers' genius, and their corporate ability to "think outside of the box."
High Noon chose to use wet-moldable leather for the "Alter Ego"'s pouch because that is the "gold standard" for making holsters; however, it is not always the best choice for every design.
I suggest that it is dangerous to carry a loaded defensive weapon off-body, for instance in Galco's "Day Planner." Off your body it becomes subject to a snatch, or to your own forgetfulness ("now where did I put that..."), or to the uncontrolled inquisitiveness of a co-worker or a child.
Before you get yourself too deeply into holster critique, please let us know about your experience.
For how long have you carried a concealed weapon?
Have you ever done any leather work?
What shooting training have you had?

Meghan & Joe
June 29
San Luis Obispo, California
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
There were so many great things about La Cuesta Ranch. It really is a venue that you can make your own. We got to choose all of our own vendors, and our guests were allowed to camp on the premise if they wished to stay the night. Gabriel, the venue's manager/owner was really accommodating.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. I loved our wedding ceremony at the Mission. Although it was a very traditional Catholic mass, it was important to Joe and I to make sure God was a big part of our big day.
2. Dan Curcio, our live music/DJ for the night learned our first dance song, "Who I Am" by Wade Bowen and played it for us on his guitar.
3. Rebecca's Ice Cream Truck was a big hit at the end of the night to help us all cool off after the hottest day in San Luis Obispo of the summer!
3, Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The people at our wedding came to dance and have fun. The barn is a dirt floor where the dancing was taking place, so it was getting pretty dusty in there. The song "Shout" really got the dust flying. After that song, I had gone outside to get an ice cream from the ice cream truck and looked back at the barn. It looked like the barn was on fire! I thought "Oh gosh! We burned the barn down!' Until I realized it was just all of the kicked up dust flying through the wooden roof of the barn.

Posted by Anthony Mullen on September 16, 2013
While I was undertaking my research for in-stream audio, one interview couldn't be scheduled in time before the cut-off date for editing. It was with a company called Spectrum Medya, which launched Karnaval.com, a digital radio platform, about a year and a half ago. Spectrum is based in Istanbul – the intersection of where the East meets the West — and in many ways, it's charting where traditional radio meets digital audio. Karnaval has a hugely popular Internet radio stream and was recently selected by Wired Magazine UK as one of the 100 hottest startups in Europe.
I've included a transcript of my interview with Ali A. Abhary, Spectrum's CEO (Twitter: @alitalks), below for you to see how a publisher is handling and viewing these changes in the audio ecosystem.
Q. Tell me about your service.
A. Spectrum Medya is owned by private equity fund the Actera Group, which joined two and a half years ago. At the time, the Spectrum consisted of five terrestrial radio station networks across 20 to 30 different cities in the country. Turkey had state-owned broadcasting until the '90s, until deregulation, which is when we got chance to really steer two of the oldest radio stations in Turkey under our own control.
Q. How was the ad business for traditional radio before digital?

Ammo permit measure weighed
Matt Dees, Staff Writer
DURHAM - Gun owners looking to reload would have to show a permit every time they buy ammunition, if a bill backed by Durham officials gains state approval.
The proposal championed by the Rev. Melvin Whitley, a local community activist, will face opposition from gun-rights groups.
Whitley told state lawmakers and Durham City Council members Monday that anyone over 18 can buy ammunition without being subject to any background check. That means felons, who aren't allowed to own guns or ammo, can buy bullets unfettered.
Requiring a permit to buy bullets, just as the state does for firearms, is a "no-brainer," he said.
"It's a wonder we have not identified this loophole in the past," Whitley told council members.
But Paul Valone, president of Grass Roots North Carolina, a gun-rights lobbying group, called the idea "ludicrous."
Felons with the means and determination to obtain a gun illegally wouldn't have any trouble finding a way around the bullet-permit law, Valone said.
"The only people this would restrict is law-abiding gun owners," Valone said.
"We will be happy to defeat this bill and any legislator who supports it."
Rep. Mickey Michaux, a Durham Democrat, expects such stiff opposition. The bill hasn't been introduced, but Michaux said it would be soon in one or both chambers of the General Assembly.
Michaux supports the idea.
But he said the bill has "about the same chance as getting a ban on handguns in this state. We've been outnumbered over the years by the strong arm of the [National Rifle Association]."
Illinois has a similar law, enacted in 1968. It requires people to apply for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card that must be displayed when buying a firearm or ammunition.
It costs $5 and is valid for five years.
There are about 1.2 million card holders in the state, according to the Illinois State Police Web site.
Even supporters have questions about logistics.
Ron Hodge, deputy chief of the Durham Police Department, said it wouldn't be hard to issue a bullet card with a handgun permit. The trouble would come with people who already have obtained their handgun permit having to go through another permitting process, Hodge said.
That would be cumbersome for the agency distributing the permits -- likely county sheriffs -- and for legal gun owners, he said.
Whitley said any inconveniences are trumped by the need to add another hurdle in the path of violent criminals.
"It's the bullets that are hurting us," he said.

Yep, Democrats suck.Rep. Mickey Michaux, a Durham Democrat, expects such stiff opposition. The bill hasn't been introduced, but Michaux said it would be soon in one or both chambers of the General Assembly.
Michaux supports the idea.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger takes his side to Blackburn in the Premier League on Saturday so, to find out more about Rovers, we also asked Chris Flanagan of the Lancashire Telegraph for his thoughts and analysis.
Blackburn`s game plan will depend greatly on the fitness of three of their best players. Chris Samba, David Dunn and Junior Hoilett all went off last week for different reasons. If these three do not play I`d expect Arsenal to dominate the game because without Hoilett Blackburn lack pace in forward areas, without Dunn they lack midfield creativity and without Samba they lack an aerial threat.
It's generally been a 4-4-1-1 in recent weeks – although they could go with two out-and-out strikers if they choose to go that way. On Sunday they had Formica playing just off David Goodwillie up front, then had Junior Hoilett and Ruben Rochina playing wide at Fulham who both played very well.
In theory their defence on paper looks pretty solid. I think they are still trying to get everybody settled into playing with each other, because Scott Dann has obviously only just joined. They have got a few good options to choose from in Dann, Chris Samba and Ryan Nelsen, so particularly the centre-backs. Out wide they also have some useful strengths, so particularly those two areas.
I think Blackburn may look to get at Arsenal's centre-back pairing, although they have some new strikers who will take time to bed in. But they will certainly try and work the ball wide where they are strong with Hoilett and Rochina. They may well look down the flanks and look to do it that way.
A lot of the problems with Blackburn this season have been key players not being fully fit – people like Samba so far have been carrying a couple of injuries. Scoring goals has been a problem so far, but they have got some new players and once they settle in that aspect should improve.
In terms of the new signings, Dann had a decent debut on Sunday. Goodwillie has been pretty lively, although he struggled with his hamstrings on Sunday after playing for Scotland in the week. We're yet to see the best of some of them, but they just need some time.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'Moves In The Field' started by Nikki Lee, Oct 6, 2012.
Is it possible?
Can you give some more details? How extensive was the surgery, what kind of recovery time, what does the doctor recommend, etc. etc.
I am curious about others' experience with this situation. I am also interested in alternatives to surgery.
I didn't know there was more than one type of surgery.
What I meant was, how much surgery there was would probably depend on what state the bunion was in.
I don't have any specific experience, but with any kind of operation that might affect how or whether you can skate afterwards, tell the doctor(s) that's what you'd like to do and see what they say. You could also try consulting with a sports medicine clinic or a sports physiotherapist.
I have a huge painful bunion, but the doctor told me I'd not even be able to go to work for 3 months, let alone skate.
My solution for dealing with the pain from pressure in the skate is Orajel or something similar. I rub some on /around the bunion area and I'm ok, though when I take off my skate the release of pressure does make it start to hurt, so then I either deal with it or put more pain reliever on it.
I am going to a sports medicine clinic. The bunions are the result of pounding the pavement in high heels when I was in my late teens, looking for work. Now it's decades later, and I am paying the price.
Once I can get my foot into the boot, I am fine on the ice. Thank goodness. I am exploring options.
For some reason, after my last colonic, my bunion got all better! Don't understand why, and am aiming for that again!
I'm ignoring my bunions. They were caused by my skates, and now I have to have custom boots to accommodate them. But they don't hurt, so, although my feet aren't pretty, I don't see the need to have them corrected. I don't want to be off the ice that long.
Exactly the same here - the bunions were caused by my skates. My bunions started showing up when I was only in my 20s and I never wore high heels or toe-pinching shoes... other than my skates.
There's a point to be made for parents of young skaters, because this issue starts developing when the skating starts. Make sure their skates fit properly right in that area of the foot. I think it gets overlooked because people are busy thinking about toes pinching and heels slipping.

Michael McConnell, head of US Intelligence, warned there was increased possibilities of world wide violence sparked by conflict over scare resources. Food and fuel needs are creating turmoil in many nations, particularly as scare farm land is switched to production of products that can be used as a fuel substitute. There is also the reality new technologies can be used as part of terrorist activities. He believes by 2025, the ongoing shift of wealth from West to East will have produced significant changes in global domination. The new system that emerges could result in a dramatically different world than what is known today. By that time, China will have the world's second largest economy and as it proceeds into the 21st century, it might eventually be number one.
McConnell is concerned about the spread of weapons as technology improves and enables small groups of people to secure enough weapons as to threaten the security of nations. There is no doubt, the world of 2025 will be more multi-polar in terms of wealth and power.

What the Right Hand Giveth…
posted at 7:05 am on December 2, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
…the left hand taketh away.
At first, I was going to keep a scorecard of the strategic questions the president needs to answer, so we will have some idea of what strategy President Barack "Lucky Lefty" Obama plans to implement.
But the speech turned out to be so lacking in essential detail that I can't answer any of 'em. This exercise in parroting the TOTUS seems vague but is in fact meaningless.
Then I thought maybe I could fisk it; but no, that's redundant. It fisks itself:
- The fuzzy, foggy flood of flatulent fatuity;
- The whiny blame-it-on-Bush segments;
- The unfocused jumping from one topic to another — from Afghanistan, to a brief revisionist history of the world since 2001, to the failed eight years of the previous administration, to Afghanistan (again), to the economy, to yawn-inducing self congratulation;
- The rambling and blathering at the end, as he recounted his drive up the California coastline — oh, wait, that was a different blather. This one was… I can't remember, something about Franklin Roosevelt and how good things really were in the 1930s;
- The nervous, tepid, semi-applause (I presume the "Applesauce" light lit up), the thin, grim lips on the cadets' mouths, the cadets who looked as though they were drifting off to the Land of Nod.
I thought to note the terrible message this sends to our allies and enemas alike: That the danger posed by al-Qaeda and the Taliban is so great, it threatens the entire world… and that we intend to end that threat, once and for all — all of a year and a half!
No, all our readers already know all that.
Then what about the Washington insiders enthusing about the wonderful "politics" of the speech, how the One successfully placated all the different sides that matter to him: The moderate Left, the Left, and the extreme Left:
I watched President Obama's speech at West Point and thought it was a pretty good political speech.
That's not entirely correct. I thought it was a very good political speech….
Remember, Obama has to protect himself from his own left. House Democrats have all but declared war on Obama's War [the Washington Post's phrase, not mine], Michael Moore took out a full page ad in advance of the speech to announce his opposition, and the MoveOn.org and Pink Slip organizations are threatening to… be really, really, angry.
By contrast, I think this is the limpest speech I have ever seen or heard Obama deliver, for all the reasons quoted above. This isn't going to move the meter one angstrom, not on presidential job approval, Afghanistan-war conduct approval, nor even the president's gravitas and leadership — at least not positively. I can easily see the speech so turning off the electorate that Obama manages to dig a sub-basement into the hole he has already dug.
So what the heck; consider this my contribution to the literature of oraculars from the Obamacle. I can't write any more; I'm already nodding off from ennui, just like those poor cadets.

400 .30
Edelbrock RPM heads

|thanks guys, i don't have air but people tell me i suck all the time so i'll siphon it out by the fuel pump. if it runs out i'll connect it. if not, it's the ol soda bottle trick from jim weeks. shoot some oil in the plug holes, crank it 30 seconds, re-adjust my push rods, put the plugs back in and just keep my fingers crossed as far as gas leaking out of the carb. i tried to crank it last night and it wasn't gettin any juice to the starter so i might have a wire in the wrong place.-i completely rewired this truck, so hopefully i'll figure it out. it was a major woody seeing all my new l.e.d. tail lights and the rest of my light work for the first time! wooopie! tomorrows the day! i'm renewing my plates today after work. wooo hooo!!
|78 monte
|Maybe not but after a year your carb may need a rebuild.If its all dryed out the needle and seat may leak not to mention the rest.When I did mine I put a trick kit(think its also called a trak pak)had a high flow needle and seat bigger accelerator pump dia.and I believe a differant power valve its been awhile.
|jeff of nc
|Pour a little gas down the carb vents.
|Jim Weeks
I will tell you what has always worked for me. Get a clean clear plastic 8 or 12 oz soda bottle. Drill a hole in the cap big enough to accept the gas line that will be going into the fuel pump. Make sure the line fits tight enough in the cap so it doesn't leak. Fill bottle about 1/2 full of gas, push your gas line into the cap about 1/2 inch, push the other end onto your fuel pump. Turn the bottle upside down, so that the gas gravity feeds into the fuel pump. Let it sit there for a minute, then crank the motor. After the motor cranks about 5 seconds, start pumping the accelerator up and down, so the accelerator pump in the carb will squirt raw gas into the carb. DO NOT CRANK THE MOTOR FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS or you might burn up the starter. If it does not start on that first attempt, let the starter cool for about 5 minutes and then repeat the process. Once the car starts and runs, shut it off, take out your makeshift bottle set up off and connect the regular gas line.
You want to make sure the gas in the line and the tank is not contaminated before you do this. Hope this helps, it has always worked for me.
priming for 1st start w/new gas tank required?
After over a year swapping frames, my new engine is ready to fire. it's never seen gas, nor has the fuel pump or gas tank. Any special "must do's" before I crank the dog crap out of it getting gas to the carb? Holley carb has been sitting empty for the whole time, and I think the gaskets are probably dry-does that matter? Seems like I remember somebody back in the 70's saying to store the carb in a bucket of gas. but for a whole year that's kinda not gonna happen.
