Water Restrictions
The Bureau of Meteorology's Water Restrictions website provides access to current water restrictions information for the whole of Australia. Water restrictions information can be searched by State or Territory, water agency and restriction name. Water restriction names and rules vary throughout Australia due to local requirements.
This is the description for the whole area managed and maintained by Goulburn and surronding areas
Current Restriction
Green level, 'more' water use, defined as a per person usage of 270 litres per day, at net storage supply levels above 70% with target usage of 6ML per day, under the following guidelines:
• Hand held hose with a control nozzle or bucket can be used at any time to water plants and lawns
• Watering systems and hose sprinklers can only be used between 6pm and 9am
• Paths, driveways and hard surfaces can be cleaned with a low volume, high pressure machine. They cannot be cleaned using a hose. In extraordinary circumstances for example following a flood or health threatening incident, a hose can be used to assist to clean up
• Vehicles can be washed at any time on a lawn or porous surface using a hose with a control nozzle, bucket or low volume high pressure machine
• Private pools can only be filled when a water offset plan for that residence has been met, including the mandatory use of a pool cover when the pool is not in use.

In the NCAA Tournament, part of it proved true. The Wolfpack was bad — for too long. The recovery — the version Friday afternoon — was good to keep television viewers and to hold out hope until the last two seconds, but not nearly enough to satisfy the lofty expectations or come close to reaching the level that had been all but promised.
The Wolfpack is gone, sent packing by
"We try not to pay attention to all that stuff," junior guard Lorenzo Brown said. "That was our downfall this year. We didn't play as well as we should have."
In a season that often didn't make sense,
Of course, it didn't go in.
"We just didn't get it done," forward C.J. Leslie said of the season. "It hasn't sunk in yet."
In the immediate aftermath, senior forward Richard Howell was the last
Then came yet another round of inquiries.
"There's no easy way to put it," senior swingman Scott Wood said. "It's pretty much over. … It's a lesson learned, especially for the people coming back."
That list of people won't include Howell or Wood. It might not include Brown and Leslie, who are juniors regularly mentioned in the same breath as the NBA draft.
It was a depressing scene even though there have been hints for weeks that this wasn't coming all together.
Remember how much fun that was last year for the Wolfpack when it scooted past two opponents in the NCAA tournament and set up all these could'ves, should'ves, would'ves that we've been dissecting for the past few months?
"We were a really talented team," Wood said. "We probably should have achieved more than we have. We feel like as a team we could do special things. At the end of the day, we didn't go out and do it."
Reminded that this group might be considered the core that helped turn the corner and put the Wolfpack in the NCAA Tournament for back-to-back seasons after five seasons without a coveted bid, it didn't register.
"This program doesn't just deserve to be here," Wood said. "It deserves to win championships."
Unfortunately for the Wolfpack, this team didn't deserve to win in Friday's tournament game, not after failing to adequately defend in the first half and coming up short down the stretch when the situation demanded something close to perfection.
The core of the team returned from last season and a few newcomers supplemented the roster. This was set up just right.
Then came a tie for fourth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference and an exit before the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament arrived.
"Definitely stunned," freshman guard Rodney Purvis said. "We definitely felt like we could do better in the postseason. It wasn't what I expected to be."
Second-year coach Mark Gottfried pointed to the 48 total victories and periodic appearances in the national rankings as signs of progress. Before his comment concluded, he joined the rest in assessing the common theme.
"We wanted to play a lot longer than one game in this tournament this year," he said. "We wanted to play a lot longer. We didn't. So that's disappointing, no question."
Brown said the Wolfpack was aiming for ACC championships and a national championship and all the things that come with such accomplishments. There is none.
"You can't be mad at anybody," Brown said. "You can't point fingers."
Instead, you can point to this team (and its 24-11 record) and wonder what went wrong. Why all these ingredients caused the kitchen to blow up before the feast.
"You have a team that had a good year but didn't have a great year," Gottfried said. "It was good, but not where I wanted it to be."
With that, you could almost hear a collective "amen" from the Wolfpack fan base.

PerspecSys President and CEO
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently published a useful and informative report on cloud computing that provides key guidance for companies using or considering cloud services in the UK. The guidelines intend to help organizations comply with the 1998 Data Protection Act (DPA), and they offer welcome assistance for private and public enterprises struggling to avoid stiff non-compliance penalties from the watchdog agency.
The ICO emphasizes that cloud customers are responsible for ensuring data protection, whether they know it or not. Many businesses simply don't realize that data protection is their responsibility when processing is outsourced to a third party (i.e., a cloud provider).
The ICO makes several recommendations about how to assure cloud provider security measures and mitigate data access risks, including physical inspections of cloud provider facilities, third-party audits of security systems, and ongoing procedural reviews and updates. And what really makes sense is for the data controller to have a written contract with the data processor that places the same legal obligations on the processor as on the data controller itself. This becomes critical when you get down to the details of the DPA, which restrict data transfer outside of the EU without adequate protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. But by its very nature, cloud computing makes this difficult as data can be stored or processed on servers located anywhere in the world. In some cases, cloud providers can't even pinpoint where data is being stored at a given time, much less cloud customers. Reasons such as this make cloud service providers reluctant to agree the sorts of contractual requirements the ICO suggests.
Realizing that there is no such thing as an iron-clad SLA, the ICO encourages businesses to look for way to maintain control of their sensitive information. As a critical part of the guidance, it underlines encryption as a means to protect personal data in transit or at rest. With encryption, data controllers can maintain and enforce their own security measures at all times. The PerspecSys cloud data protection solution helps data controllers comply with UK laws because any information that is stored or processed in the cloud can be encrypted or tokenized, rendering it undecipherable. This gives organizations a practical, technically feasible way to overcome data privacy restrictions, take advantage of the cloud's numerous benefits, and maintain legal compliance.
The ICO also mentions another potential encryption benefit that pertains to international law enforcement. Foreign law enforcement agencies may have the power to demand access to personal data stored in foreign data centers. By storing encrypted rather than clear text information in the cloud, companies are further able to protect data subjects' privacy rights.
For more insight into these issues, check out PerspecSys' new whitepaper, Data Privacy & Compliance in the Cloud. Available for download from our website, the paper discusses how encryption and tokenization (which can be extremely valuable for organizations with data residency requirements) satisfy legal requirements and industry mandates associated with protecting sensitive data in cloud applications.

Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer:
Even an amateur like me can get a great workout on this machine. It is as quiet as advertised and was surprisingly easy to set up (I thought I must have done something wrong!)Looking forward to perfecting my technique and getting a headstart on going outside once the weather improves.
Best Uses
Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer:
Trainer has a great feel with good progressive resistance as you pedal faster. Runs cool and that bright green makes it stand out to remind you to ride. The only down side is it is a tad on the expensive side but worth the cost given the alternative options.
Best Uses
Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer:
I did a lot of homework before choosing this trainer and I made the right choice. It's a great machine. I trained three times a week last winter on this with friends in front of a tv with cycling vids. A great purchase that I know will last.
Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer:
This is a great trainer. The resistance is very consistent, with great structure and setup. Of course, we would all like to be out on the open road, but when weather or timing just doesn't permit, this is well worth the $$'s for your inside workouts. I've used this through two winter off-seasons and it works as well today as the day I purchased it. I fully recommend the product.
Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer:
I bought this because I didn't have time during the week to get a ride in before the sun set. At first I was a little bit apprehensive about spending the money but it is well worth it. It is definitely not fun, but it is a hell of a workout.

Some things never change.
In 1988, the days of patients with minor ailments and long hospital stays were ending. Patients were sicker, but their time spent in the hospital was much shorter. The country was in the middle of a deadly AIDS epidemic, and nurses worked unprotected from the dangers of bloodborne illnesses. RNs also were beginning to take on new roles such as researchers, midwives, anesthetists and primary care providers, requiring advanced education and training.
Today�s nurses have new roles and challenges. AIDS has become a manageable chronic illness like cancer or diabetes. Nurses are being recognized as ideal care coordinators to help patients take control of their health. Safety precautions for workers and patients have improved, although much more remains to be done. Hospitals still are major employers, but nurses are moving into the community — working in public health and medical offices and as advanced practitioners, and offering primary care in settings such as shopping centers and rural clinics. Nurse researchers are contributing to health policy changes and also are stepping into political and policymaking roles.
To mark our magazine�s 25th anniversary, we�ve asked various nursing experts to look back at some of the major issues we reported on in 1988 and still continue to cover. Their reflections — coupled with statistics from then and now — show how much in the profession has changed and how much has stayed the same. •

The Carrizo Plain, 100 airline miles (160 km) north of Los Angeles, California is an area by-passed by time. Soda Lake, its centerpiece, is a glistening bed of white salt, set within a vast open grassland, rimmed by mountains.
The plain is home to diverse communities of wildlife and plant species, and is an area culturally important to Native Americans. It is traversed by the San Andreas fault, which has carved valleys, created and moved mountains, and yet close up, is seen in a subtle alignment of ridges, ravines and normally dry ponds.

Frequently you may have to test combinations, e.g. a method has several enumerations for its arguments or a web page has several dropdowns with multiple values. You could manually work out the combinations, or you can let Groovy help you. We are going to look at two ways groovy can help you:
- By generating your test cases in Groovy
- By reading and invoking XML data produced by a specialist tool called Whitch
Combinations algorithms in Groovy
Here is a script which calculates all combinations for a particular example:
Running this script yields the following results:
Note: you would normally invoke your test method rather than just printing out the test case as we have done here.
You could then use this information as the input for a data-driven test.
It turns out though, that running all of these combinations is often overkill. If for instance, some bug occurs when memory is low on Windows, then both of the following test cases will illustrate the bug:
A technique known as all pairs or orthogonal array testing suggests using just a subset of the input data combinations with high likelihood of finding all bugs and greatly reduced test execution time.
To calculate all pairs for the above example, you could use the following script:
This code is not optimised. It builds all combinations and then removes unneeded pairs. We could greatly reduce the amount of code by restructuring our all combinations example and then calling that - but we wanted to make each example standalone. Here is the result of running this script:
We saved half of the combinations. This might not seem like much but when the number of input items is large or the number of alternatives for each input data is large, the saving can be substantial.
If this is still too many combinations, we have one more additional algorithm that is sometimes useful. We call it minimal pairs. Rather than making sure each possible pair combination is covered, minimal pairs only adds a new test data item into the results if it introduces a new pair combination not previously seen. This doesn't guarantee all pairs are covered but tends to produce a minimal selection of interesting pairs across the possible combinations. Here is the script:
Here is the result of running the script:
Combinations using Whitch
The IBM alphaworks site hosts the Intelligent Test Case Handler (WHITCH) project. From their website: This technology is an Eclipse plug-in for generation and manipulation of test input data or configurations. It can be used to minimize the amount of testing while maintaining complete coverage of interacting variables. Intelligent Test Case Handler enables the user to generate small test suites with strong coverage properties, choose regression suites, and perform other useful operations for the creation of systematic software test plans.
You should follow the instructions on the WHITCH site for installing the plug-in into your Eclipse directory (we used Eclipse 3.2). The user guide is then part of Eclipse help and details the features and instructions for using the tool. We will simply highlight how you might decide to use it.
First create a new Whitch file. File -> New -> Other... -> Whitch file. You must select the project and provide a file name. We used 'groovy.whitch'.
Now add your types similar to the earlier example. You should end up with something like:
Now add some attributes corresponding to the types you have just added. The result will be something like:
Now select Whitch -> Build. Type in a test suite name. We used 'AllPairs' and select
an interaction level of 2 (for pairs) as follows:
Now click 'Build Test Suite' to obtain your results:
Now save your Whitch file. The result will be that the test cases are now stored into an XML file.
Note: We have not shown any advanced Whitch features, e.g. it lets you add test cases in the Include tab which must always be added into the test suite and test cases which are not possible into the Exclude tab. It also lets you try to reduce your test case size, give weightings, choose different algorithms for test case generation and more. See the Whitch user guide for more details.
Running this script yields the following results:
Note: the value "DC.DC" indicates a don't care value and can be replaced with any value for that field.

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
MILEY CYRUS just added another nasty move to her arsenal. During her show in Tacoma, Washington on Sunday, someone threw a thong onstage. So Miley picked it up, wrapped it around her microphone and PUT IT IN HER MOUTH.
MARC ANTHONY isn't just friends with his ex-wife JENNIFER LOPEZ . . . he's also friends with her boyfriend CASPER SMART. On "The Wendy Williams Show" yesterday, Marc said, quote, "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
Charlie Sheen is about to be married for the fourth time -- and this time he will have a prenup. Charlie got engaged to porn star Brett Rossi in Hawaii over the weekend and he has an estimated net worth of $125 million and sources say he will definitely get a prenup before they walk down the aisle... just in case.
Lindsay Lohan has been keeping out of trouble -- but we can't say the same for her family. Michael Lohan's girlfriend is accusing Lindsay's dad of threatened her with a knife and trying to take away their infant son. Kate Major went on Twitter Monday night to blast the elder Lohan, writing that she had to lock herself and their one-year-old son Landon in a bedroom while Michael tried to break down the door. He claims Kate's been drinking and tried tried to kill herself over the weekend. He tells TMZ he's worried about the welfare of their child and says he'll attempt to get custody if she doesn't get help.
Has Selena Gomez fallen off the wagon? Just weeks after leaving rehab, Selena is reportedly "hitting the bottle hard." She posted a photo of herself drinking a cocktail and TMZ proclaimed that she has "proudly re-embraced alcohol." She reportedly checked into rehab last month to help her kick booze, pot and Ambien. She bailed two weeks into the 45-day program to go to the Sundance film festival and didn't return because she insisted she was cured.

KANYE WEST surprised KIM KARDASHIAN with 1,000 red roses on Valentine's Day. She even posted a picture of herself surrounded by some of them. But if Kanye was trying to show off, he failed miserably. Because he got SERIOUSLY upstaged by JASON DERULO . . . who gave his girlfriend JORDIN SPARKS TEN TIMES AS MANY. Jason sent 10,000 roses to Jordin's suite at the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Friday.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her boyfriend Matt Rutler are engaged. On Friday, Christina posted a picture of the ring on her finger, along with the caption, quote, "He asked and I said . . ."
CHARLIE SHEEN has made yet another brilliant life decision. He and former porno star BRETT ROSSI are getting married. Charlie proposed on Saturday, after flying her to Hawaii on a private jet. She says, quote, "He even was a gentleman and got down on one knee. I was not expecting it at all. This is the happiest moment of both our lives. He's my best friend and my soulmate."
2/14/14 Michelle Duggar's Advice to Women
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, February 14, 2014
MICHELLE DUGGAR from the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting" says one of the keys to a happy marriage is for the woman to be with her husband whenever HE wants it. Even if SHE doesn't. She says, quote, "You always need to be available when he calls.'"
COLIN FARRELL says it was "terrifying" to have sober sex after he cleaned up his act in 2005 . . . quote, "It was in the afternoon. The windows and the curtains were open. It was lovely, and to be crass, it wasn't [effing]. She was very gentle . . . I was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever."
Just because you know who SARAH SILVERMAN is . . . doesn't mean she's rich. She says, quote, "I've had a couple good runs here and there, but there's no consistent income . . . There's just such a misconception about me. I always say that I'm the poorest famous person in the world, non-scandal."
During an interview with MTV yesterday, MARIAH CAREY was talking about her dogs . . . whose names include: Muttley, Cha Cha, Squeaky Beans, Jilly Beans, Pippity and The Reverend Pow Jackson.
Reportedly, Kanye West is wearing a crown for his wedding in May and he wants fiancée Kim Kardashian do the same. Sources say Kim and Kanye will be in handcrafted headpieces he commissioned for them because he thinks he and Kim are royalty.
2/12/14 O.J. Goes on Hunger Strike
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, February 13, 2014
Forbes.com has just released their annual list of the Most Trustworthy Celebrities. TOM HANKS was #1, followed by CAROL BURNETT and MORGAN FREEMAN. No one in the Top 10 is younger than 50.
PAULA DEEN was ROCKED last June, after admitting to using the N-word . . . even though she INSISTED she's not racist. In the aftermath, she was dropped from the Food Network and lost a ton of endorsements. However, she's poised to make a comeback, because her company has just received a BIG investment, which is reportedly worth between $75 million and $100 million. There's no word what she has in the works, but it might involve a return to TV.
Julia Roberts' half-sister may have killed herself in a deliberate attempt to harm Julia's career and hurt her chances of winning an Oscar at this year's Academy Awards. The brother of Nancy Motes' fiancé (Connor Dilbeck) said 'We are talking about people who are powerful, people who are in the limelight. Their power can be destroyed very easily if unfortunate things make them look more wicked. They have to be careful. It can destroy their career or their Academy Award.' A source said, 'Julia tried in vain over the years, even in the last six months, to get Nancy to go to rehab. Nancy refused the offers and that is when she would often publicly lash out at Julia. It hurt Julia, but she knew her sister was battling addiction.' Connor Dilbeck said Julia inflicted 'pure cruelty' on her sister and Nancy's suicide letter was a desperate attempt to expose the alleged treatment. Conner claimed the note is eight pages long, not five, and Julia is said to be 'terrified' about it coming out.
OJ Simpson has apparently gone on a hunger strike in prison. He said, 'I used to live my way, and now I'm going to die my way.' OJ is serving out a kidnapping, assault and robbery sentence in a Nevada prison, but he is reportedly so depressed that he wants to 'just sit down in a corner and die'.
2/12/14 AskMen's Most Desirable Women
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
EMILIA CLARKE from "Game of Thrones" tops this year's AskMen.com list of the 99 Most Desirable Women. Last year's winner, JENNIFER LAWRENCE, dropped to FOURTH. In between them are ALISON BRIE from "Community" and EMILY RATAJKOWSKI from the "Blurred Lines" video. EMMA WATSON rounds out the Top 5. MILEY CYRUS made the list for the FIRST TIME EVER, believe it or not. She just barely squeaked in at #99.
After that video of JUSTIN BIEBER being FRISKED in jail was released, his lawyers moved to block any more video from coming out. They said it was because Justin was also, quote, "captured on videotape in various states of undress, which show intimate personal parts of [his] body." Well, TMZ says the unreleased footage shows Justin PEEING in his holding cell. It's not clear if he just whips it out and pees on the floor . . . like he did last summer when he relieved himself in a restaurant's mop bucket . . . or if there was a toilet in the cell. Bieber seemed fairly sober in the frisking video . . . but this other footage supposedly shows him, quote, "stumbling around while he was taking his tests." If that's the case, you can see why his legal team would want to keep it under wraps.
Former NBC news anchor TOM BROKAW has revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer last August. He has "multiple myeloma" . . . a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow . . . but his doctors are "optimistic" about how he's responding to treatment.
Five European MICHAEL JACKSON fans who sued DR. CONRAD MURRAY over his death won their case. A judge awarded them ONE EURO apiece, which comes out to $1.36. They don't want the money, though. What they REALLY want is access to Michael's grave, which is closed to the public.
NBC News is reporting that PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN had two diaries, where he wrote about his struggles with "demons" and his attempts to stay clean by attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
Some of the entries may have been written while he was high . . . because they went from being readable to illegible, and were, quote, "difficult to follow."

Greene Central hasn't yet won a game, but the Rams have confidence in their senior quarterback Austin Batchelor.
The team is 0-7 as it heads into the second game of conference play. After falling 28-27 in overtime to Ayden-Grifton last week, Batchelor said the opener still proved Greene Central (0-7, 0-1) is capable of winning.
He finished 14-of-23 for 203 yards and two touchdowns against the Chargers last week —adding a rushing touchdown to open the scoring, becoming the area's passing leader in Week 8.
"We're in a lot of the ball games," said Batchelor, 17. "We kind of hurt ourselves in a lot of the ball games; it's not the other teams running all over us. We work hard Monday through Thursday, but on Friday night, we don't put it together.
"We know that we can do it, because we'll do it in the first half, but the second half we won't be there."
Batchelor, a two-sport athlete, began playing recreation football in the sixth grade. He didn't play in middle school and picked up football again as a Greene Central sophomore. Batchelor's other sport is baseball.
He said the gridiron offers more of a team atmosphere versus the diamond.
"Football is more a team sport, not one person gets the glory," Batchelor said. "We all come together, (and) a lot of us are really close. I just like being out there with my boys, and I know a lot of us have each other's backs."
Under a new coach this season, the young QB said he's been allowed more freedom.
"He makes good decisions with the football," coach Allen Wooten said. "He doesn't turn the ball over a lot. In fact, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a fumble all year. That's a big thing."
First-year Wooten said the younger players can learn from the "cerebral" Batchelor.
Batchelor prepares to wrap up his last season on the football field, with plans to attend ECU to study criminal justice. Before he exits, he'll store an important lesson the sport taught him.
"When everything is not going the way it's (supposed to), just step up and be a leader. It's easy to point the finger when you're down, losing," Batchelor said. "It doesn't matter how big you are playing football, it's all about your heart and determination."

Falcon Bats Sizzle as Softball Picks Up First Win of the Season Against Tusculum
February 8, 2014
COLUMBUS, G.A. - In the first game of a Saturday doubleheader, the Pfeiffer University softball team grabbed their first win of the season, defeating Tusculum 2-0. The win evens the Falcons' record at 1-1 for the season and with the loss Tusculum drops to 0-3 overall. Pfeiffer freshman Sydney Poole (1-0) picked up the win from the mound, with the loss going to Tusculum's Rachel Medley.
In her college pitching debut, Poole put on a stellar performance striking out eight batters, and allowing only three hits En route to her first win as a college hurler, Poole's stingy pitching also denied Tusculum of a single earned run, and secured her first collegiate shutout. While Poole's outing was nothing short of impressive, the Falcons dominated on the offensive side as well, picking up a whopping nine hits with only one error. The Pfeiffer offensive effort was fairly spread out, with game-leading performances coming from sophomores Jaclyn Boever and Sam Jarmusch who had two hits apiece.
The Falcons wasted absolutely no time getting on the board, picking up the first of their two runs in the first frame. With her first at-bat for the day, senior Hannah Jackson found herself with a base-hit after smacking one into center field. Jackson advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Boever and then made her way to third base following a wild pitch. Jackson eventually scored on a fly out to right field by junior Sadie Saine who was credited with the RBI.
Finding themselves with two outs to start the third inning, the Falcons put together a string of three hits to grab their second and final run of the game. After Boever singled to center field, she was quickly advanced to second base on a single through the left-side by Saine. Junior Julie Bullington wanted in on the offensive action as well, singling down the left field line, sending Boever home and snagging the RBI for herself. Pfeiffer left two on base at the end of the third, but the damage had already been done.
The Falcons have a quick turnaround today as they face cross-state rivals Wingate at 2:30 p.m.

Suggestion for Indoor Basketball Shots
Hey everyone! I've been given the job to take some pictures for the first Varsity Basketball Game (High School). My main question is what should I expect to bring with me and what lens to use?
I currently own:
A Canon 5D Mark 2 (Main Body)
A Canon T3 w/ 18-55mm(Always in my bag as a backup)
Canon 28-135mm
Canon 50mm Prime (f/1.8)
Canon 70-200mm f/4 NON IS
Lately I've been able to use my 70-200 with my 5D alot more than I have been able to with my T3 indoors however, the shutter speed is usually around 1/100s (the highest) so I doubt that would cut it for basketball. Currently I am thinking of using the 28-135mm with my 5D. Would that be a wise choice? The only thing stopping me from using the 50mm is the fact that I can't really get too close to the players so having a zoom is preferable.
What are your thoughts? Thank you for your answers in advance!
|Dec 12, 2012, 10:30 PM
Your prime is definitely not fast enough for sports.

|Dec 12, 2012, 10:40 PM
|Dec 13, 2012, 12:06 AM
I shoot a lot of basketball and i stay with the 70-200 the whole time so dont worry about that length.
Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me that you built a time machine, out of a DeLorean?
|Dec 13, 2012, 02:40 AM
As I've discovered, IS makes little difference in sports photography. Since you're already using a really high shutter speed to cancel out motion blur, the shake of the camera is also eliminated by the fast shutter speed.
That being said, don't bother taking the 18-55 out; It's too slow to focus. Mount the 28-135 on the T3 and use it for wide shots. The 70-200 f/4L and your 5D Mark II with sufficient ISO to bump up the shutter speed to above 1/500th or 1/640th will do you good.
Crouch down so that the camera is at the same height as the player's chest or abdomen; the perspective from this angle will give the image a very even feel and put equal emphasis on the player and the sport he's playing. For jump shots, aim up. Be on the opposite direction of the action so you get the player's faces.
I shoot with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II and a T2i; for indoors, I usually use 1/400th or 1/500th (minimum for stopping motion) and ISO 3200. This loses quite a bit of detail than something like ISO 800, but it's the most that I can do without the picture looking like complete crap. With your full frame sensor you should be able to pull around ISO 3200-6400; you won't need to go as high as ISO 12800.

Non of those lenses is really fast enough to get good shots inside a gym.
I have a Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 70-200/2.8 and I'm shooting ~1/500 at ISO 1600 to get good looking action shots.
You'll have to crank up to at least ISO 3200 on the 70-200/4 to get that kind of speed which means you will lose detail and have more noise.
Shoot in RAW so you can pull some of the noise out with LR or ACR (what are you using to post process?).
The 28-135 is way to slow for indoor shooting of sports. Unless you just want some wide angle crowd shots or pictures of the athletes standing still (like in a time out huddle).
The 50/1.8 will really give you the best option of speed/low ISO but obviously no zoom.
|Dec 13, 2012, 09:41 AM
Are you shooting for the school on official capacity? If so, can you get courtside access as a photographer so you can get close as possible to the action.
Also, does the school reimburse you or have petty cash? If so, you may want to look into renting prime lenses or 70-200 f2.8.
Using what you have:
You're shooting indoor sports, so you want a higher shutter speed to freeze. As a starting point 1/250 if they're facing you, and 1/500 for side to side to minimize blur.
Leave 18-55mm at home. Its an EF-S mount, so it won't fit on the 5D. The 28-135mm will fit both cameras.
The T3 is a crop sensor, while the 5D is full frame. This means putting the same lens on the Rebel will have a magnification factor of 1.6. 50mm on the T3 will be equivalent to 80mm on the 5D.
At the same focal length, the 50mm f1.8 will be 2 1/3 stops faster, so that means you can shoot at a higher shutter speed than the f4. As others pointed out, you may have to crank up the ISO on the 70-200 f4. The 5D may have lower noise than the rebel at the higher ISO.
So, how about trying out the 50mm on the T3, and the 70-200 f4 on the 5D?
|Dec 13, 2012, 09:57 AM
Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me that you built a time machine, out of a DeLorean?
|Dec 13, 2012, 12:02 PM
Even though the 5DII handles noise well, it doesn't seem like you have any fast lenses in your bag (sans the 50mm f/1.8). If you're not going to be able to get close to the action, I would highly recommend you at least look into renting any of the lenses below:
EF 85mm f/1.8
EF 70-200mm f/2.8
EF 135mm f/2
Obviously, the 70-200mm f/2.8 will give you the greatest amount of flexibility. You do have the 70-200mm f/4 which will work (given the lighting circumstances), but you will really need to crank up your ISO. If you expose the shots properly, you should get some decent images, especially if you shoot in RAW. You can then clean up the images in Photoshop or whatever other photo editing program you use.
|Dec 13, 2012, 03:00 PM
Thank you once again for all your answers!
|Dec 13, 2012, 05:05 PM
Need a fast lens
I use both the 85 mm 1.8 and the 135mm f2 on my 7d, and both are excellent for low-light basketball. That said, the 85mm is better, as the 135 is more of a portrait lens. Shutter speed has already been discussed, so if you use the 85 mm about the only thing you will have to adjust is White balance and exposure in camera raw...and whatever other tweaks you want, plug-ins, etc.
Also, according to Scott Kelby--I knew this intuitively, I think, but I can't say for sure that I actually realized it until he said it at Photoshop World, DUH on my part--be sure you have the -ball- in the frame. It's a must for sports.

Totally Unrelated...
I know very, very little about photography (just got my first DSLR about a month ago) so I appreciate reading all this stuff about ISO, shutter speeds, and lenses. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, so far, for all the input. It not only helps the OP, but also the rest of us who peek in out of curiosity.
|Dec 14, 2012, 05:02 AM
At events like a basketball game you can get caught-up in trying to catch those spectacular action shots...don't forget the great candid shots of the coach and players on the bench and fans in the stands.
ps. Remember to be kind to people when selecting candid images for posting or print.

It may be obvious, but if you're shooting in any of the manual modes. Set for continious, and AI Servo.
Good luck, and feel free to share with us your shots.
|Dec 14, 2012, 11:30 AM
Thank you very much for all your comments! Just one last question-should I shoot on top of the bleachers or on the actual field?
|Dec 14, 2012, 02:51 PM
Never shot a sporting event, but the ONLY shots i have ever seen from the bleachers are the fisheye type showing a packed stadium.
Hopefully its safe to assume you'll have access prior to the event? Go up there and take a few shots and see how you like them, but personally I doubt they'll be what you are after.
Good Luck, and feel free to share the results if you can!

Thank you very much for all your replies! I managed to take some decent shots (IMO) but everyone else really liked them! I will post some photos soon! Once again, can't stress it enough, you all really helped!

In this Article
Can atopic dermatitis affect the face?
Yes. Atopic dermatitis may affect the skin around the eyes, the eyelids, the eyebrows, and lashes. Scratching and rubbing the eye area can cause the skin to change in appearance. Some people with atopic dermatitis develop an extra fold of skin under their eyes, called an atopic pleat or Dennie-Morgan fold. Other people may have hyperpigmented eyelids, meaning that the skin on their eyelids darkens from the inflammation or hay fever (allergic shiners). Patchy eyebrows and eyelashes may also result from scratching or rubbing.
The face is very commonly affected in babies, who may drool excessively, and become irritated from skin contact with their flowing saliva.
The skin of a person with atopic dermatitis loses too much moisture from the epidermal layer. Some patients with atopic dermatitis lack a protein called fillagrin that is important in retaining moisture. This defective genetic trait allows the skin to become very dry, which reduces its protective abilities. In addition, the skin is very susceptible to recurring disorders, such as staphylococcal and streptococcal bacterial skin infections, warts, herpes simplex, and molluscum contagiosum (which is caused by a virus).

By David Fong
Regional Sports Content Director
DAYTON — Matt Witt's ability to create magic with a basketball in his hands allowed him to travel the world and play the game he loved for nearly a decade.
When the time came, however, the greatest player in Bethel High School and Eastern Kentucky University realized there was something here at home far more important than the game he loved so much.
Six months ago, Witt and his wife of four years, Tara, gave birth to their son, Kaleb. Witt's life changed in an instant. In a split second, traveling across Europe and playing basketball took a back seat to spending time with his baby boy.
"I was set to go back and play, but when we found out my wife was pregnant, I knew it was time to walk away," Witt said. "I don't have any regrets at all. I got to travel to pretty much every country in western Europe playing a game I loved and got paid for it. When I was young and single, I thought I would play for 15 or 20 years before I retired. Having a kid was a life-changer, for sure. Now I know there's no way I could possibly leave him. There's no way I could ever go back."
Witt has closed the door on one of the most decorated careers of any basketball player in Miami County history. He holds nearly every record in Bethel history, including 2,366 career points scored. As a junior in 2001, he helped lead the Bees to the Division IV state championship, the only boys basketball title in school history. He also was named first team All-Ohio in both 2001 and 2002, including Ohio Division IV Co-Player of the Year as a senior.
Following his career at Bethel, Witt would go on to play at Eastern Kentucky University, where he would again pile up honors and accolades. He would be named Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year his first year there. As a junior, he helped lead the Colonels to a school-record 22 wins and a spot in the the NCAA Tournament. Witt would graduate from EKU as the school leader in scoring, 3-point field goals and is second in school history in assists. He also was named to EKU's All-Century Team.
Following his graduation from EKU in 2006 with a degree in exercise science, Witt got a few looks from the NBA's San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers, but ultimately had to take his talents overseas to continue his basketball career.
"They looked at my game film, but my size was always my biggest downfall," Witt said.
Had Witt decided to play a different sport — namely baseball — his career my have taken a different path. A stellar outfielder and pitcher for the Bees — the ambidextrous Witt could actually pitch with either hand — Witt was tabbed by a number of scouts as a potential professional player.
Ultimately, however, his love of the hardwood took some shine off the baseball diamond.
"I get asked that a lot — especially by the people who know me really well. They all want to know if I regret not playing baseball," Witt said. "My dad actually played minor league baseball for seven years in the St. Louis Cardinals' organization, but he never pushed baseball on me. I loved playing basketball, and that's what I wanted to do. I don't look back on it too much — there's nothing I can do do change it anyway."
Following his graduation from EKU, Witt left almost immediately to start playing basketball in Europe. He spent the next seven years there, playing two years in Germany, one year in the Netherlands, three years in Spain and his final year in the Ukraine.
Along the way, Witt got married. His first few years playing abroad, his wife spent much of the nine-month season with him — but his final few years, Witt only saw her for about three weeks during the season.
"She's a nurse, so she is very focused on her job," Witt said. "Toward the end, it got a little tougher, because I wouldn't see her very much. Although I guess in some ways it helped our marriage, because every time I would come home in the summer, it was like we were newlyweds all over again. Now she probably wishes I would go back and play again sometimes."
Not only would Witt reconnect with his wife every summer, but he found a new love as well. During the offseasons, Witt began doing CrossFit training with high school friend — and former Bethel football player — Mike Poppa. Witt quickly fell in love with the training method — and saw benefits from it on the basketball court.
"Mike Poppa is one of my best friends — he was the best man at my wedding. He had opened his own CrossFit gym and he really got me into it," Witt said. "I would do it in the offseason. Every time I would go back to training camp after I had been doing it for awhile, I noticed it was easier and easier every time. I really fell in love with it."
So much so that when he found out his first child was on the way and his basketball career was over, he decided to make a career of it. In May of last year, Witt opened Gem City CrossFit in Beavercreek, where he is both the owner and a coach.
"After basketball, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do," Witt said. "I had always played basketball — I had never had a real job before. My wife and I talked about it and I knew there were risks in starting a new business, but she said, 'We have the money and you've never worked a 9-to-5 job before — I don't see you happy sitting at a desk all day.'"
The risk — much like the risks Witt routinely took on the basketball court when he would thread no-look passes between two defenders to teammates — paid off.
"Business is going really well," Witt said. "I've got about 60 clients right now and a lot of people who are getting in touch with me because they want training."
Despite having lived a full life, Witt said he still thinks back his time at Bethel often.
"Yeah, it's definitely something I think about," he said. "I've only been back to Bethel once since I graduated when I was inducted into their hall of fame, but I still talk to a lot of the guys from the team. I loved playing there. I loved playing basketball there."
Even if that love of basketball has since been replaced.

The foundation that owns
The letter does not identify the prospective buyer, but says an agreement was close to being in place for the 80,000-acre forest, which is valued at between $120 million and $150 million.
The woodland stretches across Onslow and Jones counties and has been used primarily as a research post and nature conservancy by the college since 1934. The military has also made use of the forest for training exercises.
The college decided to sell the property earlier this year as a way to support its Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources.
In a resolution signed last month opposing the sale, Onslow County Commissioners said
The proposed sale also met resistance among alumni who said in letters to the college in January that they were disappointed and concerned by the possibility.
As concessions, the college's Natural Resources Foundation said any buyer would have to agree to retain the name of the property and allow access to faculty and students for teaching and research purposes.
The goal is to sell the property to working foresters, said Brenda Brickhouse, the foundation's president. She said the decision to sell was based on the long-term needs of the foundation, faculty, staff and students since the forest provides an average net income to the college of $1.5 to $2 million a year — much lower than could be gained by selling the property.
Named for Julius V. Hofmann who acquired the land for university research in 1934, the forest is home to on-site laboratories where semester-long studies are conducted. The land houses dormitories, classrooms and a dining hall. The forest was managed by different timber companies until 1986 when the foundation took over, according to information provided by the university.
Negotiations are expected to last until the beginning of summer, college officials said.

Marine Corps Capt. Matthew Krivohlavy may have been tens of thousands of miles away flying missions in
And what a special message it was.
Krivohlavy, an AV-8B Harrier pilot from Cherry Point, recorded a video message from the cockpit of his jet as he flew high above the sandy terrain of
"We were completely caught off guard," said Brandon Krivohlavy, who was married April 6. "He mentioned that he was sending something to us for our wedding, and I couldn't imagine what he could possibly send us from
He posted the video online and it has received hundreds of thousands of views, going viral as well as getting picked up by national news organizations.
The video — about 2 1/2 minutes long — features the pilot in the cockpit with hand-written cards to Brandon Krivohlavy and his new bride, Mandy Takacs. Matthew Krivohlavy reads the cards as he goes along.
The pilot with Marine Attack Squadron 231 continues to flip the cards and read.
"Mandy, you are beautiful and exceptionally sweet. You are a perfect match for my brother," the 33-year-old pilot said with his face partially hidden behind a facemask.
"Boy-O, I wish I had a horribly embarrassing story to tell about you (as payback). But I don't.
"What I really want to say is how great of a brother you are. As kids, there were times when we wanted to kill each other. But as we both matured, we began to realize how alike we really are. It pains me that we live so far away and hardly see each other, but after visiting
The captain wraps up the video by reminding the couple that marriage is a journey.
"There will be ups and downs, so make the best of it. And … GO NUTS TOGETHER!"
With that, the pilot flips his visor down and does a slow roll in the jet and concludes with a wave saying "Love you both, congratulations."
Brandon Krivohlavy, 30, said Wednesday that his brother had asked him to temporarily take the video down, but with hundreds of thousands of views as well as multiple reposts across the Internet, that may be tough to do. All the attention may have just been a bit too much for military officials in
"It's sad," he said, "because the message behind it was very meaningful."

Great and PERSONAL
We decided to order the matching thank you cards that went with our invitations. We noticed the inside of the card had stripes but thought it could still look good. The next business day, I had a missed call and voicemail from one of the employees of MagnetStreet confirming we wanted the stripes and mentioned that it could be hard to write on. I asked if we could have the stripes removed and she said absolutely. I thought that was really great and personal that they took the time out of their day to make sure we wanted something in our card that could have actually ended up being an issue.

GRAHAM — Sheriff Terry Johnson decided not to present a staffing and retention plan on Tuesday to the Alamance County Board of Commissioners.
The presentation was removed from the board's agenda prior to the meeting at Johnson's request earlier in the day. The sheriff said he decided to postpone his presentation until late February to give the commissioners more time to review the plan.
Johnson said the proposal would eliminate seven full-time and four part-time positions using the lapsed salaries to provide Sheriff's Office employees' with a raise. Johnson said he had met with each of the commissioners individually to discuss the proposal at some point prior to the scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
Johnson said he believed he had the support of at least four commissioners. He said the plan is designed to help retain ACSO employees within the appropriated budget without raising taxes.
Johnson said he didn't know what support he would have had for the plan on Tuesday night but decided to present his plan instead during the normal budgeting process as part of the county's overall review to consider providing raises for all employees.
Johnson said other county department heads had been "raising Cain" recently because they also wanted their employees to be considered for raises. The sheriff said the county would likely have to increase property taxes if it provided raises for all employees next fiscal year, whereas his plan wouldn't require an increase in taxes to cover raises for his employees.
Johnson disputed comments by Commissioner Tim Sutton reported by the Times-News this week that those involved in developing the retention plan were not being transparent, saying he had informed all of the commissioners about his plan and had received initial support for it from a majority.
"I brought every commissioner to the table," Johnson said.
Johnson said his final meeting was with County Commissioner Tom Manning on Tuesday.
Johnson said the ACSO continues to lose valuable employees for higher-paying jobs elsewhere. In 2012, 11 sheriff's deputies left his department for higher pay. It costs nearly $12,000 to train each deputy and the county loses when its trained deputies go elsewhere.
County Manager Craig Honeycutt said Johnson's staffing and retention plan would likely be considered during the 2013-14 budget discussions.
"He just decided to delay it," Honeycutt said. "Nobody was giving him a problem. He just decided to delay it."
COMMISSIONER TIM SUTTONsaid on Tuesday afternoon that he still believes that Johnson has not been transparent in the process. Sutton and Johnson said they met late last year to discuss the proposal.
Johnson said that Sutton initially supported his plan as long as it didn't require a tax increase and was within the ACSO's budget. Sutton said he didn't say no to the proposal after the meeting but hadn't seen any of the plan's details, either. Sutton's position would later change.
Sutton said after the initial meeting he requested Johnson provide him a copy of the plan and that Johnson refused twice before eventually providing him with a copy last Thursday.
Several commissioners said on Monday they had not received any details of the plan. Sutton said Johnson resisted providing copies to county management.
After he reviewed the plan, Sutton said he doesn't believe the lapsed salaries would be able to cover all of the cost for the raises. Sutton said all of the commissioners should have been provided a copy of the proposal well in advance of the Tuesday board meeting and that Johnson prematurely believed he had enough support for the proposal.
"He counted his chickens before they hatched," Sutton said. "He needed to put it all out on the table."
Commissioners Bill Lashley and David Smith said on Monday that they plan to support Johnson's request. Commissioner Linda Massey said she is opposed to the plan because the county should consider providing raises for all employees and not solely sheriff's office employees.
Manning said he and Johnson did not discuss specifics of the plan on Tuesday and Manning hasn't formed an opinion on it.
