1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to electronic data storage and access. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for storing and retrieving multiple electronic data streams having different bit rates.
2. Description of the Background Art
Multimedia systems store and retrieve video, audio and other content from mass storage devices, e.g., disk drive arrays. One such system provides video-on-demand (VOD) to an end user. Such a VOD system stores video content in memory and retrieves the content upon demand. The VOD system then serves the video content to the end user requesting the video content.
The VOD system uses a VOD server for storing and accessing video content or a plurality of video files. The VOD server processes the video content as data packets and stores the video content into extents or logical memory blocks within a memory. The data packets generally comply with one or more of the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) standards. To store these data packets in a redundant manner, the VOD server may stripe the video content over an array of disks within the memory. Each video file may occupy several physical disk blocks or disk tracks within the disk drives.
Multimedia programs are encoded using various resolutions of encoding depending upon the content of the program, i.e., sporting events are encoded with higher resolution than situation comedies. The bit rate of high-resolution encoded program is greater than a bit rate of a low-resolution encoded program. As such, for a given unit of program time, a high resolution encoded program generates more packets than are generated when forming a low resolution encoded program. Consequently, a video server must be able to store a plurality of programs having constant bit rates. To facilitate storage of multiple constant bit rate programs, current servers require the bit rates of various programs to be integer multiple of one another such that the extents of any given program are of equal size and the extents across programs are integer multiples of each other. Such a restrictive storage system is not flexible in providing storage of any form of programming, i.e., programs having non-integer bit rates. Consequently, current video servers do not store programming in an optimal manner.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for an improved method and apparatus for storing an accessing multiple constant bit rate video programs wherein the bit rate of programming can be arbitrary.
The invention overcomes the disadvantages associated with the prior art by a method and apparatus for defining constant time length (CTL) extents to store packetized video streams having multiple constant bit rates (MCBR), i.e., each stream has a constant bit rate within the stream, but different as compared to other streams. Specifically, the method analyses the bit rate of a given stream and determines an appropriate length for a CTL extent within which to store data packets that comprise the stream. The extent is a number of bits that can be read from memory during a data read period for a given bit rate, rounded up to the next full packet. The method then stores the extents and pads some extents with a null packet, as needed, to compensate for accumulated partial packets of data. The null packets are referred to as dither null packets to differentiate them from the null packets that appear in a standard encoded video bitstream. Consequently, any bit rate stream can be stored in this manner with a minimum utilization of dither null packets. The extents are stored by striping them onto a disk array, i.e., one extent per disk drive, then wrapping from the last drive in the array to the first. The method repeats for each data stream such that a plurality of constant bit rate streams are stored.
To read the data from the array, the extents are recalled one at a time and temporarily stored in a buffer memory. A data pointer is used to access the packets from the buffer. The dither null packets are skipped such that the output stream of packets does not contain dither null packets. The packets are coupled to a multiplexer. The multiplexer combines the packets into a transport stream to deliver the packets of video data to a downstream user.
The teachings of the present invention can be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures.
In operation of the system 100, the server 102 receives a data stream or video file from a video source 106 via signal path S1. The data stream is typically video content, such as a movie or live broadcast, in the form of an encoded and/or compressed bitstream using, illustratively, the MPEG-2 standard. The data stream is generally a sequence of data packets. The packets may be standard MPEG packets or they may be special transport packets such as those described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/458,339, filed Dec. 10, 1999, and is incorporated herein by reference.
The packets are organized into groups to facilitate storage. The groups of packets are known as extents. The video source 106 generally provides a plurality of constant bit rate video programs, i.e., MPEG bitstreams, having arbitrary bit rates. Each program may have a different bit rate as compared to other programs such that programs of various video resolution are made available to a viewer. Thus, for a given length of programming time, more or less packets represent each program depending upon the encoding parameters used to produce the encoded program.
The server 102 stores the data stream in a memory comprising an array of disks 104 1, 104 2 . . . 104 n or some storage medium. The array of disks 104 1, 104 2 . . . 104 n may be arranged in a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) configuration as discussed in The RAIDbook: A Source Book for Disk Array Technology, Fourth Edition (1995). Each disk 104 1, 104 2 . . . 104 n in the array stores data as extents.
The server 102 stripes the data into array of disks 104 1, 104 2 . . . 104 n illustratively in the manner shown in U.S. U.S. Pat. No. 5,920,702, issued Jul. 6, 1999 and incorporated herein by reference. The size of the extent is a constant time length (CTL) extent, where the extent represents a fixed period of programming time, i.e., a fixed number of encoded video frames. Each extent may store a plurality of data packets that represent video content and a null packet, as needed. The use of null packets shall be described below.
When a user requests to view a particular video or data stream, the video session manager (not shown) of the system 100 sends a control or enable signal to the server 102. In response to this signal, the access controller 108 of the server 102 retrieves the extents for the requested program from the array of disks 104 1, 104 2 . . . 104 n. The server 102 then buffers the retrieved program in buffer 110 and, using MUX 112, combines the packets of the retrieved program with those of other programs to form a transport stream on signal path S2. The transport stream is coupled to a network and sent downstream to a user set top terminal for viewing.
The process first computes an extent size for each movie. The extent size in equal to the bit rate of the movie times the service interval over which the extent will be read from the disk drive. For example, if the bit rate for movie 1 (M1) is 5 Mbps and the service period is 1.8 seconds, then the extent size will be 5984.04 packets (assuming 188 byte MPEG packets are used to carry the data). Since partial packets can not be stored, i.e., cannot be divided over two extents, the process rounds up to the next full packet. Additionally, rounding up ensures that a data underflow condition will not occur at the decoder, i.e., more data is being supplied per service interval than is necessary. As such, in this example, the extent size is 5985 packets.
As movie 1 is stored in these 5985 packet long extents, a fractional packet accumulation occurs that, if not compensated for, would add substantial amount of buffer memory needed to process a movie within a decoder. In the example and as shown at reference number 208, a 0.96 fraction of a packet is accumulated with each extent such that after 2 extents more than full packet of accumulation occurs, i.e., 1.92 packets. To minimize the size of the buffer memory in the server, the invention compensates for the accumulation by making the 5986th packet a null packet after a full packet of accumulation occurs. Without such null packet utilization, the buffer memory would accumulate a substantial number of packets, since the access controller would be providing more packets than are sent to users. In this example, after 2 extents have been stored, the 3rd extent (E3) contains a null packet (Pnull). The null packet used for accumulation compensation is referred to as a dither null packet to differentiate the packet from a standard null packet that may appear in an MPEG stream.
The access controller maintains a sum of the fractional packet accumulation. As such, a fractional packet accumulation value is computed and, when a null packet is used, one packet is subtracted from the accumulation value and the remainder is used as the accumulation value to which additional fractional packet values are added. In the example above, the first extent fractional value is 0.96 and the accumulated value after the second extent is 1.92 (i.e., 0.96 plus 0.96). Then, one dither null packet is used and the accumulation value falls to 0.92, but the third packet adds a 0.96 fractional packet to the accumulation value causing the accumulation value to rise to 1.88. As such, the fourth extent will contain a dither null packet. This process is repeated until the entire movie is stored in memory.
The present invention typically stores packets that have a header in which a special code is used to identify a dither null packet. This code is used to ensure that the dither null packets are removed from the data before the data is sent to a user. Sending such null packets would use bandwidth in the transmission channel for no reason. The removal of dither null packets is described below.
These extents are striped onto the disk array as shown in striping map 206, where movie 1, extent 1 (M1E1) is stored on disk drive 1 (D1), then M1E2 is stored on D2 and so on.
If, for example and as shown at 202, the bit rate for movie 2 (M2) is 6 Mbps and the service period is 1.8 seconds, then the extent size will be 7180.85 packets (assuming 188 byte MPEG packets are used to carry the data). The process rounds up to the next full packet, to an extent size is 7181 packets. As movie 2 is stored in these 7181 packet long extents, the fractional packet accumulation is a 0.15 fraction of a packet for each extent such that after 6 extents a full packet of accumulation occurs. The invention, as shown at 204, compensates for the fractional packet accumulation by using a dither null packet after a full packet of accumulation occurs. In this example, after 6 extents have been stored, the 7th extent (E7) uses a dither null packet (Pnull). The extents for movie 2 are stored on the disk drive array as shown in the striping map 206.
Using null packets in this manner, any arbitrary bit rate packet stream can be easily stored and the server uses a minimal sized buffer.
Returning to
As the extents are stored in the buffer 110, the access controller monitors the packet headers within the extents to detect dither null packets. Once identified, the pointer that is used to access the packets for transfer to the multiplexer 112 is instructed to skip the dither null packets. As such, the dither null packets are not transferred to the multiplexer 112.
The multiplexer 112 is provided the buffered packets as needed to maintain a steady video signal at a user's television. The individual packets from the buffer 110 are positioned into a transport stream along with packets of many other programs. The transport stream is transmitted along with as many as 270 other streams through a 1 G bps fiber optic channel to the user. The user's equipment extracts from the transport stream the packets associated with the requested program, decodes the packets, and displays the program.
The routine 300 then proceeds to step 308 to determine which of the extents will receive a dither null packet. The process maintains an accumulation value, as described above. This accumulation value is the sum of the fractional packet value that is contained in each extent. When the accumulation value reaches a value that is greater than or equal to one, a dither null packet is used. This reduces the accumulation value by one and the remainder is then used as the accumulation value to which the following extent's fractional value is added. Thus, step 308 uses the accumulation value to determine which of the extents will contain a dither null packet. used
At step 310, the server 102 stores the data stream into the extents as defined in step 306 and inserts dither null packets in the extents as determined in step 308. The extents are striped across the array as discussed with respect to
After storing the extents, the routine 300 proceeds to step 312 to determine whether there are any more data streams to be stored. If there is additional data to receive, then the routine 300 returns to step 304 to receive and store an additional data stream. If there is no additional data to receive, then the routine 300 proceeds to step 314 to stop the storage of MCBR data streams.

Although various embodiments which incorporate the teachings of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can readily devise many other varied embodiments that still incorporate these teachings.

downclocked ROM on EVGA GTX260 SSC 55nm (-1258-)

Re: downclocked ROM on EVGA GTX260 SSC 55nm (-1258-)
Ok, I'll rant some more now.
My EVGA GTX 260 SSC 55nm is defective.
When I launch Tomb Raider Underworld, it starts to show graphical glitches when the card's core temperature reaches 71C. The hotter the core gets the more it glitches.
1) I downclocked the card to 602/1298 (core/shader) and checked again. Temps were 74C and no graphical glitches were found after a while.
2) Back to stock clocks, but increased the fan speed to 62% which caused the core temp to remain 67C and below -> no glitches on screen.
3) On two games, STALKER Clear Sky and X-Blades I saw momentarily a graphic bug that looked like side five on a dice when the temps were around 80C.
The problem is that the "auto" function of the fan starts to increase the fan speed only after the core reaches 73C - 2C over the limit that already causes those glitches. It is NOT acceptable to be forced to use 3rd party software to tune the fanspeed to prevent those glitches. Also TRU is not the heaviest games so games like ArmA and Clear Sky and Crysis will always make the core go beyond that magical 71C temperature. My chassis is well-ventilated P182B so there is very little to do about it as the card will also hit those 80C temps using open air setup.

Maryport rocks with the best of the blues
Last updated at 14:40, Friday, 01 August 2014
Maryport sang the blues in the sunshine at the town's biggest music festival.
But it was a tense start to the Maryport Blues Festival when Friday night headliner Eric Sardinas lost his guitar.
He had to borrow an instrument but the slide guitarist went on to wow an audience of more than 600 fans.
Talking before the show, he said the day had been stressful, but in the end it was the music that mattered.
His act was just one of the highlights of the three-day event, which takes over the town every July.
Even when wind blew down fencing at the outside family stage, forcing organisers to close it on Sunday, the show went on as festival-goers moved to the pubs and clubs.
Soul City Walkers, from Carlisle, proved to be among the biggest crowd-pleasers of the weekend when they appeared on a baking hot stage on Saturday and again in the cold, rainy conditions of Sunday.
Organisers said they were delighted with this year's festival, which they said was one of the best in years.
There were larger than usual audiences in the main marquee and huge crowds at the outdoor rock stage – with over 1,000 attending on Saturday afternoon for the Soul City Walkers and headliners The Union.
On Friday, in the marquee, New Mexico's Ryan McGarvey Band gave a virtuoso performance that belied their youth. The Nimmo Brothers, from Scotland, drew the crowds too.
At the end of their set they presented Christian Pattinson, 21, of Camp Road, Maryport, with a cake to congratulate him on news that he had just been accepted into the police force.
Christian has been involved with the festival since he was aged 11.
Members of the Nimmo Brothers went onto the stage to thank him for his work and present him with the cake.
Christian said he had loved blues music for as long as he could remember.
He said: "I used to go to blues sessions at Maryport Navy Club when I was just little. Debra Park heard about me and got me involved in the festival.
"My first job was to go around and get a guitar signed by all the artists. I was very nervous – shaking in my boots."
He said he was a big fan of the Nimmo Brothers and when they came onto the stage he thought it was someone's birthday.
He added: "I was shocked it was for me."
Saturday saw Coco Montoya make blues accessible with his middle-of-the-road sound.
Danny Bryant, who firstwent to Maryport as a trail artist in 2000, was the final headliner on Sunday, delighting the audience with his sometimes introspective but always exciting sound.
The trail, which consisted of about 30 bands playing around the pubs, clubs, cafes and outdoor stages, included some new stars in town – TJ & The Suitcase and Half Deaf Clatch.

Indian River Literary Society featured author Barbara Shapiro
VERO BEACH - By Saint Edward's junior Andreea Scridon
Barbara Shapiro author of "The Art Forger" recently spoke to the Indian River Literary Society.
Shapiro is a slender woman with a self-deprecating sense of humor and a bright smile. With a degree in sociology, she works as an adjunct professor at Northeastern University in Boston teaching creative writing.
Before "The Art Forger," Shapiro tried her hand at many genres, including thrillers, contemporary women's fiction and psychological suspense novels. The publishing world is a tough one and nearly every writer at one point faces the sting of rejection. When she wrote a novel that didn't quite fit into any genre, she was pleasantly surprised, however, to see her talent pay off with "The Art Forger" becoming a New York Times bestseller.
Shapiro recounted her troubles with editors and rejection in a light-hearted manner, though many would find the idea of having five books out of print rather discouraging. However, her laughing reaction was "After 25 years in the trenches, I am an overnight success."
Shapiro is a meticulous writer. To write a complex historical novel, one must be well-informed and verify the validity of any information, so she spent a great deal of time reading about art forgeries.
The book took four years to write and was rewritten at least 20 times. She uses colored flashcards for her research, her characters, and her plot line. She sets a five-page limit per day – "it's a lot of discipline", she said. To get rid of inhibitions, Mrs. Shapiro noted: "You've got to let yourself write it bad. It's always hard. My advice is to get your butt in the chair and stay there."
She was also part of a writers' group that gave her helpful feedback and support.
When asked what inspired her to choose the particular artist in her book, she explained that she "chose Degas because (she) was looking for someone who lived at the same time as Belle Gardner and someone whose painting has been stolen."
Shapiro adores contemporary art and said her next book will in fact feature abstract expressionists and notable artists belonging to "The Lost Generation." She plans to finish an art trilogy.
Shapiro's suggestion for aspiring artists was: "writing not what you know, but what you want to know about."
Reading her book, it is clear that she enjoyed and was interested in the topics she presented. Shapiro keeps a file of potential novel ideas, from which she found an article about Isabella Stewart Gardner, who became her inspiration.
Shapiro also cautioned against what she called "eye-bumps" – things that "bump" the reader out of the story. With the charm of her tone, her tenacity and, as she jokingly put it, the help of "How to Write The Blockbuster Novel," it's no surprise Shapiro is receiving the recognition she has long deserved.

Looking for a best friend to share my time with
Hi! Thanks for stopping by to read my profile. I always have a hard time writing about myself but I'd have to say I'm a very caring, nurturing and loving person. I'm always honest and up front and tell it like it is. I'm usually on the quiet side at first but once I get to know you I'm a sarcastic wise cracker that keeps my friends laughing. I'm pretty low maintenance and am lucky enough to have a job where I usually wear pj pants and no makeup to the office. But don't get me wrong, I do love to get dolled up when it's time to go out. Family is extremely important to me and I do have an infant daughter who is the love of my life. It is very important to me that you'll be ok with spending time with my daughter too (eventually) since I have full custody of her. I don't know where I'd be without the love and support of my family so I need family to be a priority to you too. I also would like to eventually have more children so I'd like someone that is interested in having kids too. As far as favorite things to do, I'm a very much go with the flow type of person and can go clubbing or have chill nights at home. I do own my own house, car and I have dogs too. The person I'm looking for will be honest and caring. I need him to respect me and treat me how he would like to be treated. Basically I'm looking for the stereotypical "nice guy". Someone that could make me laugh and make even difficult situations light hearted is key. He needs to be set with his life in terms of having a stable job/car/home. I'm not looking for a millionaire nor am I looking for someone to financially support me but I just want him to be comfortable with where he's at in life and is just missing that special someone to share it with. I think tattoos are sexy and I'm a sucker for a guy that smells great. Since I'm on the bigger side myself I tend to be attracted to teddy bear types. Being romantic and a cuddler will also score you points.

By AnneMarie Borlind18 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.01 lbs (0.001 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I use this to fill in my eyebrows. I am missing the outsides due to a thyroid problem and I have almost black hair. This is a little light, I wish it came darker without being black, and it's a little creamy so it smudges easily. I am glad to find it though, and unless it runs really bad in the summer when I'm outside, I'll be buying more despite the color. It lasts a LOT longer than another brand I've tried.
This is a very nice eye liner. It goes on smooth and has a lovely color. Very high quality. It is a bit pricey, but if you like to pamper yourself, get it.

iOS 6 to support iPhone 3GS and up, coming this fall, beta available today
WWDC kicked off with a splash this afternoon, and prominently showed off iOS 6 and its many, many new features.
The bottom line? It's coming out this fall with a beta available for developers today, and will be compatible all the way back to the iPhone 3GS (which is a bit of a surprise) and up to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
iOS 6 will also be available for 4th generation iPod touch devices and later. On the tablet side, iOS will be supported on the iPad 2 and the 2012 third-gen iPad. Sorry, original iPad owners. As you can see, there are a ton of new features in iOS 6 - you can read about all of the big ones on our iOS 6 page.
We'll have lots more news coming from WWDC this week, so stick around.

iOS 6 to support iPhone 3GS and up, coming this fall, beta available today
Why didn't they show us the home screen? I am not going to be happy if it looks the same as it has for the last 6 yours.
Yep, looks like the home screen will look the same, but you will have a new updated Maps icon! :lol:
The 1 new feature I had hoped for was some refreshed UI/home screen changes.
Apple once stood for cutting edge, innovation, wow-factor.
Now Apple stands for tweaks, minor 5.x upgrades, stale.
Where's the innovation and excitement?
They've become "incrementors" instead of innovators.
Meanwhile Android is creating more visually appealing UIs that have me (as a 5 year iPhone user) drooling.
Apple no longer is targeting the early adopter/technology buyer.
They are more worried about alienating grandma with any significant UI change.
Presumably it'll support the iPhone 5, but the thing doesn't officially exist yet, so, y'know.
Nah, wasn't really expecting a device today. iOS update first so the devs can get everything ready for the device launch.
Who's THEY ? Apple hasnt said ANYTHING about iphone 5 !
What keynote where you watching?lol
I was watching the same one you were.
Turn by turn nav - great!
Pull to refresh mail - I already bought Sparrow.
Heavy FB integration - I rarely use FB.
Shared photo streams - my phone can already send MMS.
Phone updates - ummm...I don't really have to reply to this one, do I?
Facetime over cell - I rarely use this and have to imagine the video quality would be pretty bad anyway.
So overall, yeah, pretty underwhelming. I was hoping for an updated UI with some Android-like cababilities. Or better yet, something innovative/cutting-edge; you know, what Tim Cook promised of Apple for 2012.
Let's be realistic here...The original iPad was released over two years ago so it's not surprising that they aren't supporting it with future versions of iOS. Considering Apple is in the business to make money, it's not crazy for them to not support the original iPad for marketing purposes either. And if you're upset by that then you're in for a pretty rude awakening with an Android tablet. There are devices that are a year old that aren't supported by ICS, let alone any version of Android that comes after it.
Speaking of being realistic...
iPhone 3GS: released June 2009, onboard 256MB of RAM, and 600MHz Arm Cortex A8 Processor.
iPad 1: released January 2010, onboard 256MB of RAM, and a 1GHz Apple A4 processor
The only thing i can think of that would prevent iOS 6 from working well on the iPad 1 is that some of the featured Apple apps may not perform correctly on the larger resolution screen (1024x768) compared to the iPhone 3GS (320x480).
I like IOS 5 on my 3GS, but I hate how slow the phone has become. IOS 6? I doubt I will update. Imagine how much slower my 3GS will become. Why don't I just get a new phone? Because there just money any longer for a new phone.
Am I the only one a bit concerned that the iPhone 3GS is actually getting the update? As Apple has held in the past, only two iPhones get the latest of the late updates (such as the iPhone 4 and 3GS but no the 3G), but this time it is three iPhones. Could this mean Apple is holding off on a release of the next gen. iPhone until next year?
Well my concern are the huge stories on a revamp of ios 6 and what it should have this site writes up then this beta comes and it's exactly the same with a different map app lol makes all those long stories nothing more than fanboy dreams
To bad it's getting a watered down version, same with the iphone 4.http://www.phonearena.com/news/iOS-6-coming-to-older-iPhone-and-iPad-mod...
What time its the ios 6 beta coming out?
Or wat day?
True. yet you will see millions line up and buy the new iPhone this fall. Thats how Apple rolls :)
The new features look great. But I will miss the fact the orinal Ipad will not get them. I guess I will finally try the jailbreak.
So disappointed in apples efforts today to call this a major update. If anything this is more worthy of an Ios 5.4,5.5 update. It would seem there halfway there and even though i love my Iphone and its mountainous stability which dominates all other os' in my opinion. It does erk me when they have releases like these with barely any features relevant to the general populace or rather myself, siri,facebook,do not disturb,etc the only thing i will be getting is maps... sigh its still not enough to drive me away though... because android is unprofessional and Blackberry is still recovering...
That sounds like a comment my middle daughter would make. It doesn't matter that there are features that you may not use, but features that other people (like myself) have been waiting for. iOS 5 introduced integrated Twitter support, and I don't tweet. Doesn't mean that I was down about it. Integrated FB sounds useful to those of us in the iPhone world who do Facebook. Do Not Disturb is a feature that many may not ever use, but some users may use on a daily. Siri was a new feature to iOS in iOS 5, and the fact that they have only added functionality to it, is something that people could find useful. So again, just because there is only One feature that YOU might use, doesn't mean that iOS6 is a waste of time.

T-stops are most important for movie cameras, because changes in exposure from shot-to-shot break editorial continuity. But still, in general, have no such concept.
Well I might as well learn it all now; I hope eventually to be a cinematographer.
With a lot of cameras TTL metering will sort out any variability anyway. I have often wondered whether zooms might trasmit less light at a given aperture, simply because they have so many elements and so more, potentially reflective, surfaces?
Hi David,
Based on the marked f-stops and T-stops on the ciné lenses I've used I'd estimate that normal primes lost about a quarter to a third of a stop; and zooms and retrofocus primes with many elements lost a third to a half a stop – but it is difficult to be anywhere near precise when the stops are only given to two digits (eg a zoom of f/1.1 and T1.3 – which don't mean f/1.10 and T1.30 !). Older lenses with poorer coatings could have more of a difference.
Macro lens such as Luminar and other technical lens also use T stops .
I have found the f-stop/t-stop difference is only significant for a wide open lens, the manufacturers get pretty optimistic - I have measured up to 1/2 a stop on a prime lens, a zoom - I don't want to think about it. If there is appreciable error in the remaining stops it tends to be a constant error - all the stops are 1/4 off. This behaviour applies to still camera lenses - where getting the the maximum apperature out of lens is de riguer marketing. Cine lenses are different beasts.
The f-stop shown on the lens should be used when calculating depth of field: an f1.4 lens may in reality be an f1.8 but it will have an f1.4's depth of field - or should have.

Hi Nicholas,
That's got me puzzled. I guess that it isn't a typo for T1.8 because we've already mentioned the use of f-stops instead of T-stops for focus calculations. Why would a lens that is marked as f/1.4 but is actually f/1.8 have the depth of field of an f/1.4 lens?
Originally Posted by Roc Chan

My Luminars don't have t/stops, their diaphragms are scaled in exposure time compensation factors. 1, 2, 4, 8, ... My Neupolars' diaphragms are scaled in mm, i.e., the scale read's the stop's diameter.

You know, now that I think about it, that's a good question. Don't really know, TTH, but that doesn't effect my propensity to potificate on matters about which I know not (it's a Guy thing, like never asking for directions):
Some of the additonal attenuation seen in a camera's meter reading is due to greater vignetting of the corners throwing the whole meter reading off, assuming a semi-averaging or matrix meter. But there is additional attenuation in the center of the field when wide open.
So, the depth of field should also be attenuated some. Wide open there are two parts to the attenuation: the attenuation seen at any stop, and the additional attenuation of the peripheral rays for whetever reason. It is the additional peripheral rays that are responsible for the larger CoC and if half of them (WAG) aren't arriving then the CoC will have fall-off at the edges and act as a smaller CoC.
If the lens is marked 1.4 and:
f/stop t/stop
f1.4 1.7 - 1/2 stop attenuation
f2.0 2.2 - 1/4 stop
.... .... - 1/4 stop
Not knowing any better, I would split the difference of the additional 1/4 stop of attenuation and figure that at wide open the lens is behaving like a
f1.4 + 1/8 stop = f1.45 lens for depth of field purposes.
This is only for the center of the image. The corners have additional attenuation because the exit pupil is cut-off by vignetting. Whether this reduction in effective aperture causes an additional decrease in dof at the corners I really don't know.
Solarize, I would think that, in practical terms, the biggest difference in actual use between an f2.8 wide angle lens and an f2.8 telephoto is the angle of view of the two respective lenses as compared to the angle of view of the light meter in question. If TTL metering is being used, I would expect only a negligible difference, if any.
Obviously, external metering will present the greatest difference in results, as the wide angle lens matches the angle of view of most handheld meters better than it does a telephoto lens.
And spot metering externally would present a different issue; potentially there would be very little difference between both lenses, if the same scene area were being spot metered, and that scene area was predominant in both respective fields of view.
Another big difference between an f2.8 wide and an f2.8 telephoto is the cost!

The Rain were the Manchester band that eventually evolved into Oasis. The band formed in Manchester, England in 1991, taking their name from The Beatles' B-side, "Rain". Founding members were Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass), Chris Hutton (vocals). Drummer Tony McCarroll joined shortly after the band formed to replace their drum machine and Hutton was replaced as vocalist by Liam Gallagher, who became the band's songwriter, in partnership with Arthurs. In this partnership, they wrote several songs including "Take Me" and "Life in Vain". The band rehearsed only one day a week and did not perform at shows often.
Shortly after Liam joined, the band was renamed Oasis, at his suggestion. Various explanations of the origins of the name have been offered, however, it came about when Liam's older brother Noel roadied for the Inspiral Carpets at a venue in Swindon called the Oasis Leisure Centre. Liam reportedly liked the name's "resonance of imagery."[1]
One day in August 1991, Noel, having recently returned from the Inspiral Carpets' tour of the U.S., went to watch his brother's band perform at the Manchester Boardwalk, supporting a band called Sweet Jesus. Noel offered to join, reportedly on condition that he would be the lead guitarist and they would perform only his songs. Noel made an instant impact on the band, he began to introduce new sounds and ways of creating music. After a few small warm up gigs in towns such as Middlesbrough, the band decided to produce Definitely Maybe, under the name of Oasis.[citation needed]
According to the biography Don't Look Back in Anger: Growing Up with Oasis, written by former singer Chris Hutton, Liam was moved into the band virtually without his knowledge, and while the band were still a full unit; principally to lure in Noel. The book portrays an image of The Rain as having an influence on the early sound of Oasis.
The band did not purely play covers, having several locally popular original songs, such as "Rooftop Rave" (aka "We're Having a Rave on the Roof"—purportedly about the Manchester Strangeways riots), and having somewhat more of a future than what is suggested by the other members' descriptions. This is partially evidenced by the fact that after less than a year together, the band were headlining popular Manchester venue The Boardwalk. Their sound was allegedly close to that of Joy Division and other contemporary Mancunian bands. The name is also alleged to have been taken not from a Beatles B-side, but rather suggested by Hutton one afternoon whilst observing Manchester's characteristic drizzle.[citation needed]

New England Pot Roast
Savory Oven Beef Ribs
Crusty Topped Beef in Beer
You won't want to miss these delicious short ribs and vegetables slow cooked with herbs and dry red wine.
Short ribs are trimmed from narrow beef rib and short plate sections. Small and square, short ribs are layers of meat and fat with pieces of rib bone. They are flavorful but tough; long, slow, moist cooking tenderizes them.
Use a kitchen scissors to snip sun-dried tomatoes into strips; spritz the blades with nonstick cooking spray so the tomatoes won't stick.
Browning and draining the short ribs before continuing to cook them removes some of the fat.
Use several layers of paper towels to blot the fat from the surface of the cooking juices before adding the thickeners, or skim off the fat with a ladle.
For a crisp salad, combine lettuce, apple slices and walnuts, and serve with blue cheese dressing.

My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon
by P. N. Elrod (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Rating is only for the Kelley Armstrong and Marjorie M. Liu stories.
Kelley Armstrong's story is set in her Women of the Otherworld series and follows werewolves Elena and Clay on their honeymoon. Its extremely short, only about 35 pages. It was fun to read about Clay and Elena again. My only problem is that in a few places I was confused about a few references. I've only read up to book 5 in the series and this is set between book 7 and 8. So I would recommend reading the entire series up to that point before delving into this one.
Marjorie M. Liu's story was alright, but again way too short to get a really good plot going. This one is quite a few years before the time period of her Dirk and Steele series but is set in the same world. It follows Lucy Steele's story and if you've read [b:The Wild Road|2712887|The Wild Road (Dirk & Steele, #8)|Marjorie M. Liu|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255710250s/2712887.jpg|2738433] then you'll recognize the woods and cabin. It was a fun short story, but I'll admit I didn't get as into it as I usually do anything she writes. I would recommend this for hardcore fans of the series.
Let's be honest: Anthologies like this are compiled for two reasons. One - to sell to fans of existing series who want one more installment from characters they like, or Two - to attract readers to series they are not yet reading. I read this book because it has an installment in Katie MacAlister's Dark Ones series, and it was indeed a nice little tale about the honeymoon of Joy and Raphael - but not absolutely necessary. Most of the stories stand alone just fine, but you do get the feeling that there's more behind the story that you don't know (which is the case). So, if you think you'd like a book of short stories about various vampire hunters, demon-slayers, werewolves, and other paranormal types on their honeymoons, go for it. If not, pass. For me, the best story was the Harry Dresden tale (no, Harry's not on his honeymoon); the worst story was by far the last story -- poorly written, to say the least.
Amazon received
I hadn't read any of the Women of the Other World when I first read "Stalked". The story was more enjoyable the second time, even though I prefer Paige and Savannah to Elena. The Harry Dresden story was good. I liked the monsters. "Roman Holiday or SPQarrrrrr" was a fun piece of fluff, although I admit that the pun in the title is my favorite part. The Jack Fleming story was great. I wonder if the bride's sisters are as formidable as the bride and their mom. I hadn't read "Cold Streets" the first time I read "Her Mother's Daughter," so I didn't know what a horrible experience Jack had had only a month before this case. Now I do and it's worth a shiver. Still haven't read anything else about Black London, but I did enjoy the Lovecraftian atmosphere of "Newlydeads". Really can't blame Pete Caldecott for being depressed, considering what she said had happened before this weekend jaunt. Pete isn't on her honeymoon any more than Harry or Jack were in the last two stories, but what happens to the honeymooners in this tale is grimmer. "Where the Heart Lives" is a very nice story. For the third time in a row, it's the main character who needs to help a honeymoon couple in trouble. "Cat Got Your Tongue?" is another lighthearted title and the story that follows is even more of a romp than Ms. Caine's story. "Half of Being Married" is a cautionary tale about telling the truth about yourself before you get married. It wasn't bad. I could say the same for the last story, "A Wulf in Groom's Clothing". None of these stories deserves fewer than three stars, in my opinion, and a few are definitely worth four. I love bats and red is my favorite color, so of course I love the spooky bed on the cover of my copy.
Putting the full moon in 'honeymoon'...
We've taken a look at the wild and weird wedding photos, now it's time to hitch a ride on the honeymoon train. Here are a handful of supernatural stories of post-wedding vacations gone awry.
[STALKED] by Kelley Armstrong is a Clay and Elena story from her Women of the Otherworld series. When a mutt interupts Clay's special honeymoon plans for Elena he's got to get rid of the bastard without drawing attention to it. Fans of Armstrong's characters will probably love this one but hearing it from Clay's perspective felt weird to me. 3/5 stars
[HEOROT] by Jim Butcher brings readers into the world of Harry Dresden for a quickie adventure. Harry and his dog Mouse are set after a grendelkin who has kidnapped a young bride just setting out on her honeymoon. While I've still not delved into the Dresden Files Butcher knows how to deliver an entertaining short story that even non-fans of the series can enjoy. 4/5 stars
[ROMAN HOLIDAY or SPQ-ARRRRRR] by Rachel Caine picks up where her story from My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding left off. Celia and Liam Lockhart are about to set off on their honeymoon but first they've got to deal with mutiny and a couple of cursed bad guys on the high seas. Another cute piratical adventure from Caine, a fun follow-up to her previous tale of pirates. 4/5 stars
[HER MOTHER'S DAUGHTER] by P.N. Elrod drops readers into the world of Elrod's Vampire Files with Jack Fleming being rushed to a reception to find a missing groom. Twists and turns lead Jack through some interesting social curiosities all while hiding the fact that he is in fact, a vampire. Another series I've not read but certainly does tickle my curiosity with Elrod's narrative style, one I am sure Vampire Files fans would enjoy but readable by anybody. 4/5 stars
[NEWLYDEADS] by Caitlin Kittredge leads readers through a confusing plot that introduces her leading characters for her Black London series (which wasn't released yet when this anthology was released but rather, just came out June 2009). Newlyweds and strange happenings at a nice hotel/resort make for a strange story of spooky magic. Liked the characters introduced but this story confused the heck out of me, I was completely lost with no explanation of the finer details this series will introduce. 3/5 stars
[WHERE THE HEART LIVES] by Marjorie M. Liu is noted as taking place long before the events of her Dirk & Steele series but basically being tied to it. When a young woman is thrust from her home and sent to live with strangers who care for a cemetery ghostly happenings and a dangerous mystery in the woods threaten her. This one IMO really didn't fit the honeymoon theme of the book very well but was a great story I very much enjoyed. 4/5 stars
[CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE] by Katie MacAlister follows characters from her Dark Ones series through a honeymoon adventure in a haunted castle. When Raphael St. John and his bride meet up with the ghosts of Fyfe Castle they might get more than they bargained for in this vacation package. A little too silly for my tastes I (again) think fans of the series who wanted to know more about Raphael will like what they read. 3/5 stars
[HALF OF BEING MARRIED] by Lilith Saintcrow is typical Saintcrow originality poured into print for a clever, exciting adventure that flies by fast. Mr. and Mrs. Black have just started their honeymoon when they find out that their most important secrets they've been hiding from one another could be a deal-breaker, if the vampires don't get to them first! Saintcrow's writing is always hit or miss with me, love it or hate it she knows how to create really unique stuff and this is no exception... pretty darned good for a short story. 4/5 stars
[A WULF IN GROOM'S CLOTHING] by Ronda Thompson is a modern Wulf family (from her historical paranormal Wild Wulfs of London trilogy) tale of a newlywed Wulf and his unbroken curse. Sam hoped his curse would be broken once he and Laura married and consumated their marriage but when he still turns wolfy he's going to have to tell her the truth. This was cute but not overly fluffy and really made me wish that Thompson (who passed away last summer) was going to be writing more. 4/5 stars
Overall not quite as strong of a collection as My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding but definitely a nicely balanced one. Lots of tie-ins to other series written by these authors so their fans really shouldn't miss out on picking this one up. So what's next? An anniversaries collection maybe? Enjoy!

I have successfully exported my blogs and comments from ExpressionEngine (here's how for anyone looking) as MoveableType format.
So I install WP and long story short, it imports something like 55 entries and says "all done!" Well, it only got up to May 2010... I have entries all the way into December 2010 that it hasn't found. I've checked the import files and the code is all there.
The issue may be with the import plugins... I believe those are new and mostly untested.
Here's the blog I'm working on.
Any/all suggestions are helpful. I have 3 files to import and the largest is 1.5MB (under the 2MB limit).

(May 14, 2010) - Deborah Bauer, transportation safety specialist at Hagerstown Community College, was recently licensed and certified as a driver education instructor by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).
Bauer completed her training over an eight-month period. The MVA training program included advanced classroom training, basic instructor training, advanced training behind the wheel, and an apprentice license examination. Bauer is also a certified MVA motorcycle instructor, which she earned in 2003.
HCC's Driver Education Program began in May 2009 and is part of a growing number of transportation offerings at HCC. In addition to new driver courses, HCC also offers MVA-approved motorcycle safety and licensing classes, as well as the area's largest commercial vehicle transportation (CVT) or truck driving program.
