Perhaps there is too much going on in the photo. You have too many lines running off at different angles. The eye doesn't know what to do. I wonder if you cropped....
So, what is the photo about? Why would you want to go back and see it again? That one single question has saved me thousands of dollars in printing ink. :laugh:

The part of the fence nearest the viewer leads the eye into the photo, which is good, but then it bends and leads the eye back out of the photo again, before you've really seen the whole thing.
Also, the clumps of grass in the foreground (once you get out of the fence's dead end and start looking at the image again from another starting point) doesn't have any strong "shape" to it (for want of a better word...). The left hand clump is cut off by the edge of the frame.
The colors are fine, though. The slight blue cast makes it feel colder, which is good if that's part of what you're trying to do with it. I'd be tempted to try to get the line of trees with a portion of the fence leading the eye to them, nothing else. (Or maybe a row of footprints leading to the line of trees in the distance?) As said above, there are too many things going on here.

I would like to offer a critique of the spirit of the critique of the photograph offered for critique.
Perhaps you can construct an argument that is not insulting to the other fellow, you know, not an
ad hominem
[/b] argument.
I'm sorry that my "attempt" at an artistic critique doesn't meet with your approval. I certainly hope that the original poster was honestly looking for suggestions. I think it's about 3 to 1 for simplification at this point.

I don't know whether my comments will ultimately be helpful to Phil, but I do know that they were not a "knee jerk." I read Phil's question carefully, studied his photo, and thought about what he was likely seeing and trying to accomplish at the time he took the photo. Then I framed an answer that I hope is responsive to his concerns.
Perhaps, for your
posting on LL, you could attempt a similarly constructive attitude, rather than offering gratuitous slaps at your fellow posters.

I hope all these specific suggestions are helping you. I have a more general suggestion. The fact that you mentioned right at the start that you're not satisfied with this image means you already have the most important information you really need, namely that the image isn't good. When you're out shooting, keep looking and keep working on your framing/composition until you're more confident that you've got something (there's a sort of "bingo" feel!!) Then look at what you've shot at home and see if there's anything that you don't have misgivings about and then do the best you can with it in Photoshop. THEN see what other people think if you're not confident about your own evaluation.
As Bob has shown, slightly more interesting images were possible with cropping, but the way this image really misses is because you just didn't find something dynamite while you were shooting. The elements of your shot indicate to me that a little more careful work in the field and more time would have given you something better to work with. If you know that something's wrong, then give it more time and effort until your own sense of right and wrong is satisfied.
If you absolutely don't trust your own sense of composition and what looks good and what doesn't, maybe you're one of those people that would benefit from studying rules of composition. I'd give your intuitive sense of right and wrong a better chance first, though.
Just my $.02 worth. Some folks disagree with my approach with a near violent vehemence, so pick the approach that suits you. However, if you already know that an image isn't right, you can improve your work no matter what approach you choose. Just keep looking for things and keep working on framing in the field until you hit something that gives you a better comfort level. Don't settle for something you know isn't really good and hope for a magic cure from well wishing advisors.

rules of composition are far more than a crutch
That's a matter of opinion. Ansel Adams and Edward Weston were absolutely unequivecally NOT into these rules and Ansel went so far as to say that "THERE ARE NO RULES FOR GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS". No doubt there are also successful photographers that depend on rules. We're all free to choose and maybe some folks do better without rules and some folks do better with. I haven't seen any evidence that the folks that choose to do without are at a disadvantage compared to those that depend on these rules. Shouting the same opinion over and over again as loudly and as often as possible, and sometimes as rudely as possible and insisting that this opinion is proven fact is not the same thing as providing evidence.
Fortunately, if there's to be yet another war about this, I won't even be an amused bystander, since I'm leaving for 3-4 weeks of no internet access Death Valley and Sierra Nevada shooting in mere minutes; no rules, and freedom from even debating about rules.

OK Phil, now it's coming . You have narrowed down the main subject matter considerably, which is good. Now, just something to ponder, what would happen if you used a shallower depth of field and focused more on the reeds in front? Those would then be a main centre of interest, with the fence playing a supporting role. The fence would perhaps (and perhaps not) be in focus nearest the reeds, yet "fade to blur" as it gets further away. This would give a feeling of more depth and give a stronger centre of interest without losing the importance of the fence in the overall composition. I'm not saying this is necessary, but it might be worth a look.
By the by, I agree with the earlier poster about learning the rules of composition (if you haven't already :: ). You don't want to be a slave to them, but it's one thing to break a rule of composition unwittingly, and quite another to break a rule with full knowledge of what you are doing. Just something to think about .
Good luck, and keep going. This stuff isn't easy .

I think I've come close with this one but something is still missing. Could you suggest how I might improve this photo in composition and/or processing? Perhaps too much of a blue cast? Other stuff?
Thanks, Phil

What is the photo about? What attracted your eye to the scene in the beginning?
There is a nice color scheme--blues, browns and white. There are some interesting elements that could provide a unifying theme for the photo, such as the line of trees, or the grasses and shadows in the foreground. But altogether, there are too many different elements all jumbled together--grasses, a fence going in a circle, a line of trees leading away, some distracting signs, etc. As a result, the photo isn't about anything because it is trying to be about too many things.
So, my suggestion would be to simplify the composition greatly. Perhaps you could find a slightly different place to stand with the camera, or perhaps use a longer focal length to isolate just a few elements of the scene. Find a key theme that attracts you, such as the grasses in the foreground or the fence, and then try to set up a composition that emphasizes that theme and eliminates everything else. There are probably dozens of interesting photos within a few yards of that spot, but they need to be taken one at a time.
One of the many photography books on my bookshelf (at the moment I don't recall which one) has an interesting sequence of thumbnails showing a whole roll of film taken by a pro photographer as he worked a scene, visually exploring what was there, and using the camera to move in ever tighter on the few key elements that were important to him. The first few shots showed an overview of an easily identifiable scene; the last shots showed only details and they were by far the better ones on the roll. I know that I always have to fight the tendency to somehow record the scene and to put it in context, when what I need to do it to isolate what is important visually and let the context take care of itself.
Just my two cents worth. Hope these few comments help.

I would like to critique the critiques already offered for this picture. To me they are the Knee jerk responses typical of photgraphers attempting to offer artistic criticism."Too busy, no focus, no center of interest, crop, crop,etc."
This picture has mood; for me it invokes a real winter day in the the relatvely benign eastern Canadian countryside. Sure it has a mix of elements, not all pictures have to be stark and simplistic (often called hard-hitting), but the diverse forms are reasonably well integrated and form a satifying whole. Not spectacular, but inviting and pleasant. These evoked emotions of winter are what the picture is about.
Not all photgraphs have to be exercises in minimalist graphic arts. Start thinking about emotions and your photography might improve.
Technically,if this were my picture I would consider converting to B&W and raising contrast slightly, but it may be better as is.

All of the above critiques seem valid, however, it does appear as if the image has not been converted to sRGB before posting on the internet. The image is a little flat in tone, which may be intentional, however, it does lead to comments that there is no defined object of focus, lots of conflicting elements in the image, etc...On the other hand, increasing contrast makes it much clearer as to where the focus in the image is (I played in photoshop a little), but looses some of the softness and mood of the original image.
The only additional comment I would make is that the eye naturally looks to the brightest point in the image, using heavy shadows in the foreground can, if not managed properly, weaken the composition of the image. It's not a rule of don't do it, but just be aware that it does effect the composition. I think in this situation I may have been tempted to do more with the fence, or the line of trees in the distance.
Overall though I can see why you like this image.

I'm not sure I would change much, but in the spirit of looking at another version of it, here is one possibility. I don't know if it is better or worse. One thing I would do for sure is to go to Levels in PS and adjust the levels in the normal manner as shown below. After that you may or may not like the slight increase in contrast added by the Curves adjustment. I think this example is just a bit overdone but it's all a matter of taste. Lastly I duplicated the layer, set it to Multiply, and masked out the lower part to darken the sky, then used a grey brush to slightly darken the snow because I thought the Curves had possibly done a bit too much. Lastly (actually the first thing I did) you may like a tighter crop of the image. I think it keeps the eye a bit more in the center. As always these things are simply a matter of taste so I offer this fwiw and some screen shots of what/how I did what I did. Again. I would do the Levels adjustment for sure. The rest is just a matter of taste. Some would prefer moving toward this image, others will think it "too much" but I thought you might like seeing at least one variation.

I'm seeing about 5 different story lines all at once here. (Analogy: a Sienfeld episode.) I'm sure that isolation and elimination, as already mentioned, would help. For example, despite the fact that the story line is weak, in the following example, there is only one story, the shore line:
I tend to portay snow with a bit of blue in the shadow and bit of warmth if the sun is shining. In the example, the gradation is strong.
Sometimes all I can get is blue to grey, but I make the grey slightly warm. For example:
I generally go for a photo that pops, but I tend to back off a bit in snow scenes. I get a more delicate effect. Ultimately, this sort of thing is stylistic.

Thanks very much for all your replies!
I thought about the photo based on what you said. My composition wasn't bad but there was no center of interest: I wound up trying to show 5 different things. The Shoreline, the line of trees, the fenceline, the grass and the distant horizon.
When I shot it, I thought the line of the fence and the tufts of grass were interesting. These items were what I really wanted to show. I've cropped the image to show just the grass and the fenceline, correcting a little blue out:
This is more of what I wanted the viewer to see. What do you think now?

So, I thought I might take a stab at this too, I hope you don't mind. I am sitting here at my store in a very inhospitable place for fine colour work so I won't play with the levels except for a titch more red to bring out the warm-cool contrast, which is one of the key elements to the picture. The other key element is the contrast between the man-made fence, which is ugly in my opinion, and the lovely grasses. Here's my crop.

"When ACT UP Is Remembered, Other Places, People and Forms of AIDS Activism Are Disremembered"
Part Two of an Interview With Queer Archive Activist Alexandra Juhasz
February 17, 2013
In the first of this two part blog series, Alexandra Juhasz explained her thinking around "Queer Archive Activism." In this second post, Juhasz shares her thoughts on the real world application of "Queer Archive Activism."
Visual AIDS: What will be the benefits of Queer Archive Activism? (Specifically I am hoping you can comment on the benefits for those who made video and film art in early response to HIV/AIDS, and those who are recontexualizing it now. And of course, generally what are the benefits.)
The benefits to our nostalgic return are threefold:
Visual AIDS: Related, what should we watch out for? What should we as artists, cultural workers, curators, public intellectuals and scholars, be looking for in this work?
My greatest hope would be that contemporary audiences see themselves in our Queer Archive Activism: not that we're old (but once were young like them), not that we are tired (but once had energy as they do), but that we are, and were, angry, scared, and empowered enough -- in our communal processes -- to demand and make a better culture for ourselves.
Visual AIDS: Within this evolving Queer Archive Activism, which I think is related to this cultural moment of AIDS Crisis Revisitation, what stories are you craving? Or hoping to be told? Or what moments or feelings do you want to see explored and shared?
It is interesting to see, at this time, when my generation's experience is being revisited (and I am often asked to perform this revisit, as you ask me to do here, as are a pretty predictable group of my colleagues and friends), how histories just like contemporary practices are the result of institutional sanction and authority: i.e, who gets asked and who does the asking.
In another piece that I wrote more recently, "Forgetting ACT UP" I penned that I hope that we will remember past ACT UP. Not because it wasn't important, and not because I don't care, but because AIDS activism had a much more diverse and complex history in the US, that tends to be overlooked when we return to this one place and institution.
"When ACT UP is remembered -- again and again and again -- other places, people and forms of AIDS activism are disremembered." When ACT UP is remembered as the pinnacle of postmodern activism, other forms and forums of activism that were taking place during that time -- practices that were linked, related, just modern, in dialogue or even opposition to ACT UP's "confrontational activism"1 -- are forgotten. To remember ACT UP, as I'd like to do here, is also to relish its surrounding and rich context of activist antagonisms, alternatives, associations, alienation and awe."

Alright, so it's been a while since I posted, but I am going to try out the regularly scheduled posting again. So, last night, we made rugelach. It was really easy, especially because we had the dough already made. We used the leftover dough from the pumpkin pie we made a while ago. (It was frozen and then defrosted the night before we wanted to use it.) We used this filling recipe and substituted chocolate chips for the shredded chocolate. It was good, but I thought that it tasted a little gritty, like there was too much sugar. We rolled it up two different ways, first by making a log and cutting it like a jelly roll, and second, cut triangles and rolled it up the traditional way. With the jelly roll style, the butter and chocolate melted out a bit, but most of the pieces were okay. The traditional rolls were really good. (I couldn't stop eating them!) Another easy and quick recipe.
Also, I just finished putting together a recipe binder that includes recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines from 2008-2009. I am going to try all of those recipes, and of course I will blog about them. I also typed up the old recipes from my great-grandmother and I want to try those, too, so it should be an exciting time trying these recipes.

Celtics beat Knicks in OT, force Game 5By SportsDirect
April 28. 2013 4:40PM
Reserve Jason Terry scored nine of his 18 points in the final 91 seconds of overtime as host Boston averted a four-game sweep despite blowing a 20-point second-half lead.
Paul Pierce scored 29 points and Jeff Green added 26 as the Celtics fought off a stirring comeback to force Game 5 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series on Wednesday at New York's Madison Square Garden. Kevin Garnett added 13 points and 17 rebounds for Boston.
Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points and Raymond Felton had 27 for the Knicks, who led only once - at 84-82 with 1:18 to play in regulation - and trailed 59-39 with 9:25 left in the third quarter.
Terry put the Celtics ahead to stay by burying a 3-pointer with 1:31 left in the extra session. After Anthony sliced the deficit to one, Terry hit a short jumper and buried two foul shots for a 95-90 edge with 20.4 seconds left.
Pierce scored scored eight points in a 73-second span late in the second quarter to send the Celtics into the break with a seemingly commanding 53-34 lead. A 3-pointer by Green pushed it to 20 early in the third quarter before Felton scored 16 points in a 26-9 burst to pull New York within 68-65 entering the final 12 minutes.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Knicks played without Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith, who was suspended one game by the NBA for elbowing Terry in the face in the fourth quarter of Game 3. ... Boston prevailed despite getting mauled on the backboards 54-40, including a 34-19 edge in the second half and OT. ... The Knicks limited the Celtics to 14 points in the third quarter, the fifth time in the series they held Boston to 14 points or fewer in a quarter.

Can someone tell me how a ground fault works on a engine drive that is not sitting on the ground or does not have a wire going to driven ground rod. My 12,000 watt home generator says it has to be placed on the ground when running to avoid getting shocked or possibly killed. Also could a ground wire coming off a engine drive's ground welding terminal to a driven rod help welding characteristics and safety. I know Miller has the specialists to keep things safe but I would like to know if it's safe to run a welding generator on a trailer that doesn't have a metal wheel or pad on it's tongue's jack stand to make a ground or a wire going from a trucks' bed to a driven ground rod.
No announcement yet.
grounds and ground faults on engine drives question
new posts
I have some welding to do this spring on my gates. I'm planning to use this cart I built to hold my 12,000 watt generator and my MM180.... as you can see the trailer tongue's jack I made from a grocery cart wheel whose tire is made of rubber, there is no ground for the generator as the trailer sits. I think it's a legitimate safety question for anyone with a similar set up.
The word Ground is the problem.
A rod driven in to the ground does not offer protection per se for Ground faults it is there for High Voltage strikes like lightening or if a downed power line came in contact with the machine.
Using an engine drive as a welder/generator or a stand alone generator on a jobsite you DO NOT need to drive a ground rod.
Using it as back up power for a building then a ground rod or connection to a building ground is required. But again this does not provide the Protection that the Ground wire in the electrical system provides.
This is more of a BONDING issue. You want all metallic parts in the system Bonded to the ground wire because the Ground wire is bonded to the Neutral at the main panel.
The fault will travel down the Ground wire meet up with the Neutral wire at the main panel, travel up the neutral wire to the Transformer and overload the circuit-tripping the Circuit breaker.
This is why in the manual for the Engine drives they indicate using a metallic strap from the Engine drive to the Trailer to Truck bed
It does not travel in to Mother Earth and magically stop.
Tongue Jacks: You actually want to isolate the Engine drive or generator from the earth. (it is code here). The earth may provide an alternate path for the ground fault. Example is- the tool you are using faults, goes through YOU, down to earth and back to the power source instead of going through the Ground wire.
Remember that it is a CIRCUIT and the electricity is always looking for a return path to the source. Normal conditions it takes either the Neutral (120v) or a hot leg (240v etc). Fault= whatever is the easiest path.Ed Conley

Ground faults (GFI) works the same way as one in your bathroom,, no ground rods involved, the unit just looks for a quick way for the 120vac to touch the circuit common( welder frame) then it shuts the power off.
I, like many, find this to be a stupid and troublesome thing on a welder. especially in snow, rain, or humity, thus they are disconnected or made to look functioning but in reality don't do squat. Who wants to repeatily run back 100+ ft every time the stupid thing trips.

How does a GFI work
It turns out that a GFI does not need a ground connection to work. It measures the current in the hot lead, and compares it to the current in the neutral. If the difference between the two currents is more than 6ma (0.006 amps), then it cuts off the power until the GFI is manually reset.
I am not sure that a GFI makes a lot of sense for a portable generator which is not grounded. I guess if you have a wet power tool and touch the generator it might protect you.
One of the reasons that welding is relatively safe is because the secondary coil of the transformer is isolated from ground. Note that the welding cables are labeled "work", not "ground", although I sometimes get sloppy and say ground. The comment about isolating the generator from ground makes sense to me, although I don't know what the code says.
I have noticed that the GFI in my shop often trips when I am welding.
The concept of "ground" is much more complex than most people understand. Ground is not necessarily ground.

Specifically, West said he was ired when an unnamed fashion designer invited him to attend a runway show, but only if the entertainer agreed to attend no others. "Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go. Man, I'm the No. 1 living and breathing rock star," West reportedly said. He also explained to writer Christopher Bagley that he was hurt and felt, "How can someone stop my opportunity to see something that he can teach me, that I can help teach the world?" And nothing stops West from attending fashion shows, including taking in Givenchy's Paris Fashion Week show with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in March in the photo above. [W]

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Tight end Dante Rosario had three touchdown catches for the first time in his NFL career and San Diego's defense harassed Jake Locker all afternoon as the Chargers beat the Tennessee Titans for the ninth straight time, 38-10 Sunday.
Before the game, the Chargers (2-0) retired Junior Seau's No. 55. Seau, the hard-hitting, first-pumping leader of the Chargers for 13 seasons, committed suicide May 2.
With Antonio Gates inactive due to sore ribs, the Chargers turned to Rosario. He responded with TD catches of 11, 4 and 15 yards from Philip Rivers. He had only five career scoring catches coming in, including a game-winner against San Diego in the 2008 season opener while with Carolina.
San Diego's winning streak against the Titans (0-2) dates to 1993, when the franchise was still the Houston Oilers.
Rivers was 24 of 32 for 284 yards. Malcolm Floyd had six catches for 109 yards and Rosario four catches for 48 yards.

Gerard Baden-Clay to make second bid for bail
THE real estate agent accused of killing his wife and dumping her body in a creek will make a second bid for bail.
Gerard Baden-Clay was charged with murdering wife Allison in April and dumping her body at Kholo Creek.
Police found Mrs Baden-Clay's body 10 days after her husband reported her missing.
Baden-Clay, who has always maintained his innocence, will make his second application for bail next month.
His application will be heard in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on December 14.
Baden-Clay has already had a bid for bail knocked back once when a judge declared him a flight risk.
Police alleged Baden-Clay killed his wife to use her life insurance pay-out to pay off his large debt.

On the green pages of spring or the gold pages of autumn, you'll find a list of all the fruits and vegetables the season has to offer in the side margins, with the ingredients of any particular recipe printed in bold. This makes it easy to thumb through and find recipes for specific foods while keeping in mind what else is in season.
Another convenient feature of Simply in Seasonis that there are fruit and vegetable profiles at the beginning of the book, complete with picture, season, description, storage and preparation tips, and nutritional information. Not knowing what to do with a seasonal vegetable can often be a stumbling block for first time seasonal eaters. With photos and cooking suggestions, the mysterious kohlrabi will never elude you again!
A great introduction to seasonal eating, Simply in Seasonprovides the seeds for changing the modern food system, one vegetable at a time. The recipes are healthy classics with straightforward directions, without the "health-nut" complexities and unusual ingredients found in many diet-changing cookbooks.
You can also visit the Simply in SeasonOnline Fruit and Vegetable Guide for tips from the book on how to choose, store, prepare, and use selected fruits and vegetables.

POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria's military says it declared an all-day curfew and conducted house to house searches amid fears Islamic extremists armed with explosives infiltrated the northeastern Yobe state capital of Potiskum.
Capt. Eli Lazarus announced the 24-hour curfew early Wednesday and ordered people to stay home.
There was an eerie silence and empty streets in the normally bustling city as Muslims prepared to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan on Thursday.
A security official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said the army was acting on information that extremists had infiltrated the city with munitions and explosives.
Potiskum has been the target of previous attacks by extremists. Nigeria declared a state of emergency in Yobe and two other northeastern states mid-May.

Damian Lillard made up for the absence of fellow All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge by scoring 31 points in the Portland Trail Blazers' 100-95 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.
Lillard scored 12 in the third quarter when it looked as if the Blazers were headed for a blowout win, but he saved his biggest shots for late in the fourth after the Nuggets had trimmed an 18-point deficit to two.
The Blazers again went with a smaller lineup with Aldridge missing his fourth straight game with a strained left groin, and Dorell Wright helped make up for Aldridge's team-high 23.9 points and 11.4 rebounds by giving Denver another long-range shooter to defend.
Randy Foye led Denver with 17 points.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
As a farm machinery mechanic and writer, Dan brings a hands-on approach that only a pro can muster. Along with his In the Shop blog, Dan writes a column by the same name as well as the Shop Series for Farm Journal magazine. Always providing practical information, he is a master at tackling technical topics and making them easy for all of our readers to understand. He and his wife, Becky, live near Bouton, Iowa.
There is something "manly" about wielding 4-foot-long breaker bars and 1-inch drive air wrenches, but there is also something to be said for having small, precision tools.
When working inside tractor or combine cabs, it's nice to be able to grab a well-packaged 1/4-inch drive socket set and know that you'll have everything you need to remove or install panels and covers all in one tidy toolset, without climbing up and down the cab's ladder to get additional tools. Maybe I'm weird (my wife says there's no "maybe" about it), but I get a certain satisfaction out of the precision inherent to a good 1/4-inch drive ratchet and socket set.
The same applies to mini-screwdrivers, o-ring picks, miniature roll pin punches and even small ball peen hammers. When working on electronic circuitry held in place with teeny-tiny Phillips head screws, it's very satisfying to have a tiny Phillips-head screwdriver that fits precisely into the miniscule crosshatch in the screw head. More than once I've been happy I paid the price for a set of o-ring picks with a variety of twisted and hooked tips that enabled me to remove and install otherwise inaccessible o-rings hidden deep inside hydraulic components. I've grinned with satisfaction when my 1/16th-inch roll pin punch allowed me to remove a teeny, tiny roll pin that some sadistic engineer used to connect a teeny, tiny shaft to a teeny, tiny coupler in a teeny, tiny electro/hydraulic control box.
And, as difficult as it may be to conceive, there are times when a small, compact ball peen hammer works better than my usual 32-ounce ball peen "Persuader." Sometimes all a component needs is a tap, a carefully controlled impact, to remove it, install it, or modify it. A good, well-balanced ball peen hammer is a precision tool that allows accurate, controlled impacts.
If that doesn't work, if all the precision tools don't allow careful disassembly and installment of delicate components...I've always got The Persuader available to vent my frustrations and convert those tiny parts and pieces into crumbled plastic and flattened metal.

News Panel:
OPEN RECORDS BATTLE - A move by Gov. Brown to weaken the California Public Records Act set off a heated controversy among journalists and open government advocates this week, followed by back-peddling from top state Democrats. At the core of the debate is whether the state or local governments should foot the bill for requests for government records.
SAN CLEMENTE DAM REMOVAL - In what will be the largest dam removal project ever undertaken in California, officials have agreed to tear down the 106-foot-tall San Clemente Dam in Monterey County. The reservoir it holds is now 95 percent silted up and the obsolete dam has been declared seismically unsafe. The removal of the dam will also be good for endangered steelhead trout, which for decades have been blocked from their traditional spawning grounds by the enormous barrier on the Carmel River.
SAN JOSE SUES MLB - The Oakland A's are itching to relocate from their longtime home at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum to a new proposed stadium in downtown San Jose. But Major League Baseball has thus far blocked the move, claiming the San Francisco Giants hold the territorial rights to the South Bay. This week the city of San Jose sued Major League Baseball, challenging the geographic rights in order to allow the A's to make the move south.
Guests: Josh Richman, Bay Area News Group; Mark Purdy, San Jose Mercury News; and Paul Rogers, SJ Mercury News.

10:30 pmNeed To Know [#325H] Main Street: Findlay, Ohio How many times during the past several years have you heard one commentator or another express the same familiar lament? "We just don't make anything anymore." Of course, it's not true. Not even close. No country exports more than the United States except China. What is true is that millions of manufacturing jobs have been lost, shipped overseas where labor costs are often dramatically lower.
And that's had a profound effect on many factory towns across the US, particularly in the industrial heartland - The Midwest. What is the state of American manufacturing today? Is it coming back, as the president says? And will we be able to compete once again?
To learn more, NTK traveled to Findlay, Ohio, a manufacturing town that is still growing even as towns close by have struggled. Correspondent John Larson reports from Main Street. Maria Hinojosa anchors the broadcast. duration 26:46 STEREO TVRE

Found this on-topic thread in a search.. Also regarding the backing plates..I aquired a used pair that have splash shields welded to them. I didn't know splash shields were ever added to drum backing plates and thought someone must have once added them. I was also considering removing them until I did a short Google search and found some with..The afore mention In-Line Tube website has the option of with and without..http://inlinetube.com/Drum%20Brakes/Drum%20Brakes.htm Question: Where the shielded plates ever a Camaro option, standard or never available on them? If not, what were these normally fitted to?Also, looking at the ones that I have that came off a 68 Camaro (no idea if original to the car), were the welds normally that rough? This is mainly why I assumed a back-yard welder had added them.those were added.
That's a lot of work to find the right arc of metal to weld into place. Lots of factory welds aren't pretty, look at the subframe. Not to say these are original, but I've seen these used somewhere before - maybe on later cars?

Interviews with meaning
Sir Ian McKellan. They should all speak with as much sincerity and compassion and intelligence and substance as Ian McKellan. Interviews these days are so f-cking bullsh-t …is it a reflection on the vapidity of the subject or the subject's refusal to engage in anything other than innocuous banter for the sake of guarding privacy?
It's possible to get personal without getting public.
Sir Ian McKellan does it very well.
But first, here's Ian at the Only Make Believe 10th Anniversary in New York last night in support of programs that provide interactive theatre for children in hospitals and care facilities. He has presence, non?
Sir Ian was featured in an interview with Details last month and spoke candidly about coming out at 49, about having to hide yourself, about acting, about aging, about ripping pages out of the Bible, and about Gandalf.
He articulates his thoughts so beautifully and honestly, and the part about Tom Stoppard was a huge disappointment for me – Shakespeare In Love is such a wonderful screenplay – but there's no denying, Stoppard's insensitive and ignorant judgment is shared by many, even by those who profess to be "open-minded". People suck.
On the subject of children though, I nearly cried reading what McKellan says about parenthood:
"I'm well aware that when I go, the London Evening Standard billboard is going to say GANDALF DIES. No, it's fine. Gandalf is a great character, and I ride on the back of his popularity, not the other way around. And you could say I've missed out on having kids but I've grandfathered so many children through the role."
It's a GREAT read. Click here for more.
Thanks Katie!

Meet Flex. Flex belongs to the highly threatened population of western gray whales. He has been tagged by satellite and tracked by scientists in the hope to discover the migration routes of the species and ways to better protect it from threats such as accidental entanglement in fishing gear, underwater noise and exposure to spilled oil.
The western gray whale is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. In 2010, its estimated population size was about 136 whales, including only around 30 mature females. Western gray whales fast during the winter, migrate in the spring, and feast throughout the summer and autumn in the waters off Sakhalin Island in eastern Russia, before migrating again to their wintering areas. Little is known about the whales' breeding grounds or migration routes, which makes it difficult to develop appropriate conservation measures beyond the Sakhalin Island region.
In October 2010, a team of scientists from Russia and the United States, with IUCN's scientific and logistical support, tagged a 13-year old male western gray whale using satellite telemetry. The researchers nicknamed it Flex and have since tracked its every move.
Flex is the first western gray whale to be tagged and tracked using telemetry.
"Tremendous care was taken to select a healthy adult male," says Greg Donovan, Head of Science for the International Whaling Commission (IWC), based in Cambridge, who coordinated the project. "Although the risks associated with such tagging are minimal, we wanted to take absolutely no chances with females or young animals. The information we expect to get from this study is vital to international conservation efforts to preserve this population, as is the collaboration between governments, international organizations, international scientists, industry and other stakeholders."
Flex was successfully tracked for over four months, revealing his long - and unexpected - migration route.
Western gray whales are believed to migrate south in winter, towards Japan, Korea or China. But to everyone's surprise, Flex moved across the Okhotsk Sea to the west coast of Kamchatka, then followed the coast around the southern tip of Kamchatka and up along the east coast to the Commander Islands, across the Bering Sea towards Alaska, through the Aleutian Island chain and across the Gulf of Alaska.
At the beginning of February 2011, Flex arrived at the US west coast off Washington State. The last information that was received about his location was off Siletz Bay on 4 February 2011, when the tag presumably came off. Since leaving the Kamchatka Peninsula, he travelled more than 8,500 kilometers over 124 days, with an average speed of 6.6 km per hour.
This information, together with the photographic data of Flex gathered in previous years, provides the first evidence that links the Sakhalin feeding ground of western gray whales to locations in the eastern North Pacific.
"However interesting Flex's movements are, it is important not to lose sight of the overarching aim of these satellite taggings," says Finn Larsen, coordinator of the Western Gray Whale Conservation Initiative at IUCN. "We know from a number of entanglements in Japanese fishing gear in the last 10 years that western gray whales still migrate along the coasts of Japan, and it is still very important to identify the migratory destinations in Japan, Korea or China of these western gray whales."
Scientists are now analyzing the gathered to better understand the movements of western gray whales. They are also planning to tag twelve other western gray whales in August and September 2011.
This tagging project represents a major international collaboration between the International Whaling Commission, IUCN, the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Oregon State University and the University of Washington. Funding in 2010 was provided by Exxon Neftegas Ltd. and Sakhalin Energy Investment Company.
