D300 and birds
I am using my camera to photograph birds mainly. I am mostly using a 300mm/f2.8 with a teleconverter. I am having all sorts of problems with focus. I have yet to achieve any really clear shots. I wonder if anyone could give me any advice as to how I should have the camera set up. Most of the birds are small and in trees or bushes and the light is very inconsistent. thanks for any help.

Here are my settings for shooting birds with my D300 and 500mm f4 VR II lens:
Focus Mode (SCM): C - Continuous Servo AF
Autofocus Area Mode: Dynamic-area AF
Metering Preference: 3D Color Matrix II
Exposure Mode: A - Aperture-priority auto
Release Mode: Ch - Continuous high speed
a1 AF-C priority selection: Release
a2 AF-S priority selection: Focus
a3 Dynamic AF area: 21 points (or 9 points)
a4 Focus tracking: Medium
a5 AF Activation: AF-ON Only
a6 Focus point illumination: On
a7 Focus point wrap-around: Wrap
a8 AF point selection: 51 points
a9 AF assist illuminator: Off
a10 AF-ON for MB-D10: AF-ON
I hope this helps as somewhere to start.
Kind regards.

Thanks for the help. Would those settings be more for birds in flight or ones that are perched? I am doing a lot of small birds in trees and bushes. Thanks for the help

I would change a1 AF-C priority selection to "Focus". Your current setting allows the shutter to release even if focus has not been achieved.
Also, I'd be very surprised to find that matrix metering gives you proper exposure on your subject. I'd try spot metering although personally I prefer manual exposure based off incident light. This works best except in cases where lighting is constantly changing.
Keep shutter speeds at 1/800" or faster.
So some searching on "long lens technique" to get some ideas how handling can affect the quality of your pictures with these long focal lengths.

Hi Joe,
Are you shooting BIF (Birds in Flight) or Birds sitting on branch?
Could you upload a few examples to your gallery and provide a link to them?
What are you using to support (tripod and head) your 300mm f/2.8 and TC?
A tripod with 32mm or larger leg diameter (Gitzo 3 Series) along with a Wimberley Sidekick or a Full Gimbal mount will allow unrestricted movement and the required stability.
What Shutter Speeds are you using?
For BIF Use:
Continuous AF (AF-C) mode.
Custom Settings:
a1: AF-C Priority Selection = Release + focus or Focus
When set to Release (default) the shutter will release as soon as the button is pressed regardless of focus.
When set to Release + focus the FPS rate will slow down for improved focus on dark or low contrast subjects.
When set to Focus the shutter will only release when the focus dot is dislpayed. This will increase your in-focus shots but may not allow you to capture the BIF.
a3: Dynamic AF Area = 9 points
Always use the minimum number of AF points required for any given subject.
a4: Focus Tracking with Lock-On = Normal or Long
When set to Off, when a branch or something else enters the frame between you and your subject the camera will imediatly refocus.
The same will happen if the active AF point(s) lose track of the subject and the trees behind it has more contrast.
Setting Normal or Long gives you more time to re-establish focus on your subject if you momentarily lose track.
For shooting static subjects use a Single AF point and either AF-C using the AF-On button or AF-S mode.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

Thanks for the information. I am focusing on birds that are not in flight. I have a tripod with a Wimberly head. I use my monopod more. I will try to upload some pictures. I am not so good at that. I am shooting in Aperture mode. I am constantly trying to find the right ISO to get my shutter speed where it needs to be. I shoot a lot in bushes and tree branches. Thanks.

Definitely provide a sample or two; EXIF data will help also. It's way too hard to diagnose without seeing the results. Also, the focusing modes in effect will help a lot.
One thing you can do yourself is to take one of the original files out of the camera and load it into ViewNX2 - and then ask it to show the focus sensor that was locked on. You may get some surprises, especially if you've got one of the more advanced AF modes selected. A common mistake is to have dynamic area 51-point selected, which will give the AF system full license to pick any of the available AF sensors to lock on! For this reason I usually use single point, mostly so I know which AF sensor is being used.

Have you tried simplifying your setup? Start with manual focusing without the TC. It might help you find the source of the problem.
I find manual focusing works great for BIB (birds in bushes).
#8. "RE: D300 and birds" | In response to Reply # 0
Go manual and shoot with small f-stops for maximum depth of focus. Have your lens prefocused to the extent you can so that when you see a subject, there is less work to do.
#9. "RE: D300 and birds" | In response to Reply # 0
I would use single sensor mode using 51 AF pts (small sensors) and AFC focus priority.
Single sensor because you are digging birds out between branches and leaves. You don't want to give the camera a chance to grab something else.
Focus priority because the willingness of the camera to fire will give you good feedback on the quality of the focus you achieved. And it should give the camera some time to find optimum focus.
In principle you could use AF-S mode but I like to be in AF-C mode so I can rip off a series of images, hoping one is better than the others. In AF-S mode it may be more like all or none unless the bird spends an unusual amount of time perched.
I do this with a D300, 500/4 AFS and TC14 or 17. I also use an SB-800 on a Wimberly flash bracket on a Wimberly gimbal, and a Better Beamer. With flash there are some interesting exposure options but the light will at least get you a usable image when it is otherwise too dark.
I actually find that with flash a manual exposure of f/8 ISO 400 1/250s usually works unless the bird is in direct sun. In bright light I will raise the shutter speed. That puts the flash in FP mode (set the camera for that!) but it won't matter because the bird is in bright light. If the bird is only partly in bright light then I usually write that off as an image not meant to be taken .
The above is very imperfect but I've never found a fully auto-exposure mode that worked better in the real world. It takes some practice though. You may find shutter priority better, at 1/250s with flash, but then you end up at some absurd stopped down aperture for the best shots, where it would be better to have more shutter speed.
Shooting 1/250s at these focal lengths is not easy but we are bound by the camera sync speed in cases where we need serious distance. You might try 1/320s, where you get only about a half stop loss of light in exchange for a little more shutter speed.
I often spot meter, hoping the bird will fill enough of the spot to get a proper exposure. Arguably Matrix would be better because then the flash can operate in iTTL-BL, which would be better in certain brighter lighting, but not in dark light. Just to say I'm not suggesting any sure fire way to meter. It's one reason I use the manual exposure method I described.
I find that, without flash, the 1/FL rule, even on a tripod, seems to be about right (there being no right simple answer for the shutter speed required). That would put you at 1/400s with a TC14 and 1/500s with a TC17 (you did not specify which TC you use).
I birded with a 300/2.8 for many years but did not spend a lot of time trying to shoot small birds in trees until I got the 500. But the principle is the same, I think.
I would not do this without flash- I think it is that important. Flash is not needed to shoot waders out in the open on water, or certainly BIF, but in the bushes and trees I couldn't be very productive without it.

Are you focussing on the head?

#11. "RE: D300 and birds" | In response to Reply # 10Thu 08-Nov-12 11:15 PM
yes I am trying to focus mainly on the eyes. it is not easy with a small bird.

I would not worry about the eyes unless you are extraordinarily close. You would have to be awfully close to a Warbler to get the head large enough to present a good AF target. The head would have to fully fill the sensor reticle.
If you end up with sharp breasts or wings and soft eyes then stop down. You'll probably want to be shooting around f/8 just to make the DOF reasonable.
I developed all my technique, and I test any new gear or technique at my home feeders, and the surrounding habitat where the feeder birds hang out. When I am satisfied with that then I go out in the field.
If you cannot do feeders at home then a local park might let you put some feeders up. People do that in a local nature park where I often bird. Parks have an advantage because you can situate the feeder near the habitat you are attempting to shoot in. You should then get practice with the feeder birds perched in foliage and bushes.
You can get more practice at a feeder in one day then a month in the field. I know it is not quite the same unless you have good habitat around the feeder, but learning on the trail is a long uphill climb.
Just a note to Eric about focus/release priority. For birds in flight I think that decision is a difficult one. But for difficult perched birds, my feeling is that if I can't get the camera to fire using focus priority I'm not going to like the shot I get with release priority.
I may not like a lot of shots I get with focus priority either, but surely my consistency should be way better and I am not going to lose many usable shots. That is my reasoning for always using focus priority, and I would feel more strongly about it if I were having enough difficulty to be here asking for help.

Joe,you are starting with what is in my opinion the most difficult of bird photography situations. I would recommend starting with larger more easily approachable birds(pigeons,mallards at the park,gulls). Remove the tc and just practice until you get satisfactory results and then try the same with the tc and then progress the to very hard to catch little birds. Even birds in flight are easier to catch than the little guys in the bushes.
#13. "RE: D300 and birds" | In response to Reply # 0
I'm largely in agreement with the others on camera settings.
One distinction is whether you are trying for identification images, proof, or commercial/fine art prints. In the case of the identification and proof, any image is better than no image, so definitely use AF-C Release priority. For Commercial / Fine Art images, Focus priority is better because only perfect images have any use at all.
For perched birds in bushes, I would start with Single Point AF but use manual override if needed. It takes lots of practice to quickly focus and capture your subject. Watch for twigs, leaves, and any small thing in front of your subject that might hinder AF.
I would use the Back Button / AF-On approach for focus. You might only be able to put a sensor on a portion of the bird and need to be able to separate focus from release. Also focus and reframe has disadvantages since the camera will track a subject. If you have nailed focus and try to reframe, it's easy for the camera to think it should track a moving subject. Also keep in mind the center AF sensor is the most accurate.
I use Aperture priority and matrix or center weighted metering with an eye to blinkies and the histogram. I dial in whatever exposure comp is required.
My guess is low light is a problem. AF does not work as well with low light as bright light. Higher ISO reduces contrast and make images look softer. Neil's suggestion of a flash is a good one.
Try some testing on simple subjects - easy birds - to get comfortable with your setup. Then move to more challenging situations like birds in a thicket. You may ultimately require manual focus or manual override a lot more often in a cluttered situation.
Make sure you have enough DOF. A D300 with a 300 f/2.8 and teleconverter (aperture of f/4) has a DOF of half an inch at 15 feet - less if you are closer. At f/8 you double that to an inch. You better be right on the money if you expect your images to be sharp. Shutter speed can be a problem at f/8 in the shade, so again you may need a flash.

Thanks for the advice and info. I am taking many pictures. Every once in a while I get a good one. I definitely appreciate the time and effort you put into the responses. Any more advice or tips? I could really use it. Thanks.
#16. "RE: D300 and birds. " | In response to Reply # 0
As I am sure you realise by now one needs to be very close to a small bird to get a usable image. To be able to get into a position to even attempt a shot a hide (blind) or camouflage and patience is necessary.
Another prerequisite is to know your quarry, it's habitat, behaviour etc.
As regards small birds in bushes manual focus is your answer. You have control. When you adjust focus and the bird's head and eyes leap into a crystal clear shot it's a great feeling. Use cable release and a tripod.
It isn't easy but the rewards are great. Hope this helps. Good hunting as that's what it is!

One thing I would recommend you do in addition the the already mentioned potential solutions, to to perform a Lens focus calibration on your camera lens combo, both with the TC and without. I was having a focus issue with my D300 when i first got it and do this calibration made a world of difference. This topic is covered several times in this forum so I won't repeat the process explanation, but here is a link to one informative post and a links to another sites I found helpful.

I feel so overwhelmed when it comes to the focus test and calibration. I talked to Nikon and they were strongly against any fine tuning. I am not sure that I would make the situation any better. I went out today and shot many birds of different sizes and light. Almost all were soft. Not sure what to do..

I would suggest posting some samples. Post higher resolution crops of the bird, but also post a small downsized un-cropped version so we can see the relative scale of the bird in the frame (very important).
We can go round and round on what might be going on, but without samples we can only speculate.
You need to carefully analyze the images to see if anything is in focus, or to divine if focus is better behind the bird or in front. Your problem could, in principle, be technique or shutter speed, or a soft lens, or focus. First order of business is to narrow that down as best possible.

Thanks for the advice. I agree totally. the problem is that I am simply not that good with downloading pictures and the cropping process. I am sure trying to learn. I am looking for some type of classes or lessons. I see that you are a moderator. Are you familiar with anyone in the central Florida area?

I can't give you any specific advice on an instructor or class in your area.
If you are not using it now, download ViewNX2 from the nikonusa.com site. That will let you downsize and crop images for posting. It will also show you your focus point. Just don't get confused on that point if you are doing something like focus and recompose. In that case the actual focus was somewhere else
Which 300mm lens model do you have?
Eric just gave you some good advice- test the lens against something easier in order to eliminate that variable.

I agree with Neil - post some samples. I would only use AF Fine Tuning if you are absolutely sure that is the issue and your gear does not need repair.
Try making it easier on yourself. Stop photographing birds and photograph some easy subjects or targets at a distance of 10-15 feet. Use a shutter speed of 1/500 or faster. Use the center sensor for AF, a tripod, mirror up, and cable release. Defocus each time and try at least 10 images. If you are still getting soft images, explore a problem with your gear. If not, it's probably technique.

Richardson enters his fourth season back with the basketball Monarchs and his ninth season overall at ODU after serving as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech from 2010-12. During his tenure, the Monarchs have had three NCAA appearances, a CIT postseason championship and both NIT and CBI semifinal appearances.
In 2014-15, Richardson helped guide ODU to the NIT Semifinals after the squad secured victories over Charleston Southern, Illinois State and Murray State in the opening rounds. The Monarchs posted a 27-8 overall record on the year and completed a perfect 20-0 season mark at the Ted Constant Center. The team is still currently riding a 24-game win streak that ranks seventh in NCAA Division I Basketball.
Richardson has been pivotal in developing Old Dominion's Trey Freeman, who was honored as an All-League selection, the C-USA Newcomer of the Year and as a Conference USA All-Academic Team honoree at the season's end.
In his first stint with the Monarchs from 2005-09, he was an assistant coach for two seasons after serving as ODU's first Director of Basketball Operations for three years. ODU reached the NIT in 2005-06 and claimed three postseason wins over Colorado, Manhattan and Hofstra. Richardson then helped guide Old Dominion to the NCAA Tournament in 2006-07.
The 2004 and 2005 Virginia High School Coaches Association AAA State Coach of the Year, Richardson served as head coach of Woodside High School in Newport News, Va., for three years, winning the Virginia AAA State Championship in 2004 and 2005. He led Woodside to three Eastern Regional Championships and two Peninsula District (2004 and 2005) titles. Woodside won the Peninsula District Tournament Championships in 2005 and in 2002 when Richardson was an assistant coach. He was also honored as the Associated Press AAA Coach of the Year in 2004.
Prior to becoming head coach at Woodside, Richardson was the head junior varsity coach at Woodside from 1996-1999. He also served as an assistant coach and junior varsity coach at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. in 1999-2000.
From 1996 until his hiring at ODU, he served as an assistant coach for the Virginia Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) 17-under all-star traveling team in the Boo Williams program, as well as counseling positions at various basketball camps. Richardson graduated from Elizabeth City State University in 1995 with a degree in health and physical education with a minor in biology. He received a master's degree from Old Dominion University in 2003 in sports management. Richardson was a four-year basketball letterman at Elizabeth City State.

Drive down the road until you reach a small parking lot on the right. You are looking for Mill Pond Trail. The lot is small, so park and walk across to the trail to the left, it should say "Adopt a Trail Girl Scouts #618". You are now beginning the search as it was wintering and snowing the night before, we only wandered maybe a half a mile or so at least until the first complaints from the old folks that we were too far away and they needed to chain smoke and slow down. Okay just kidding. Your will see an elbow tree on the right, a Y tree and some bird houses for feeding. You the pass two logs down a hill and once you come to a clearing instead of continuing on the horse trail, go to the Hikers Only Trail straight ahead. Walk on for 100 or so yards approx. You will have to step over fallen trees and stuff. You will walk along until the hill starts sloping down. On your left you will see a tree with an arrow. Continue on the path until you get to the BIG rock on the right about 30 steps, you can't miss it. Go 20 paces towards a rock that is sticking up - The Tombstone Rock - to the right there is a tree (big Oakish) with a tiny knob. The Tombstone letterbox is 2 and a half feet from the base of the tree in the ground with a rock on top. If you are looking at the lake, it is at 3 o'clock facing the "cool looking" house.
Live long and enjoy walking....From the Lake Womyn

From Vatican Radio
The outbreak is centered on the Lower Artibonite region, north of the capital Port-au-Prince, though cases were also reported in the Central Plateau area.
The Communications Director for the Vatican's humanitarian consortium, Caritas Internationalis, Patrick Nicholson says Caritas was already in the area before the outbreak.
"Caritas works throughout Haiti and it is in the area…affected by the outbreak," said Nicholson, adding that Caritas has been providing basic health care.
Many of the sick have converged on St. Nicholas hospital in the seaside city of St. Marc, where hundreds of dehydrated patients lay on blankets in a parking lot with IVs in their arms as they waited for treatment.
According to the WHO, cholera is an easily treatable disease that, if left untreated, can kill quickly following the onset of symptoms.
The prompt administration of oral rehydration salts to replace lost fluids nearly always results in cure, and that intravenous administration of fluids may be required to save the patient's life in especially severe cases.

Is there a way to accomplish something similar to the twimlet "whisper" feature with the TwiML?
What I want to accomplish:
user dials a number
based on various factors my app decides who to dial
the dialed party answers and hears a short mp3 telling them about the nature of the call. The caller should not hear this and ideally would hear more ring tones.
The dialed party then is connected with the caller.
It's really ideal if the dialed party does not need to press a button to connect after the mp3 is played, but that is lower priority. The real goal is to do the whisper message; if they have to press 1 to connect that is ok.
Is this possible?
Help get this topic noticed by sharing it on Twitter, Facebook, or email.
TwiML version of Dial whisper?
TwiML version of Dial whisper?
Hi Steve,
You can 'whisper' to a caller by specifying a url attribute on the <Number> noun when using the <Dial> verb http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/2008-0...
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey John - you say "it can whisper to a caller" but I want to be sure it's not the caller, i.e the person who dialed the number to call, but it's the person who's *answering* the call is who we want to whisper to. So if I where to call you, I would hear ringing up till I heard you say hello. However when YOU answered the phone - you heard this recording, mp3, or the computer voice telling you what numbers where entered by the caller. Once the recording/message was given to you, the system connected you to the caller, me. Make sense?
fifedog: We implemented this and it does exactly what you are asking, the caller does not hear the recording
Hi xmlsteve,
Could you please provide sample tags you used to implement that. I tried but not worked.

If you're a Bachelor fan, maybe you caught the new Victoria's Secret T-shirt bra commercial featuring Adam Levine's fiancee Behati Prinsloo during last night's (crazy!) episode.
I'm strangely obsessed with this commercial. If you're right there with me, here's a little more Behati gorgeousness for you, from the bra's launch event in NYC's Herald Square yesterday.
We haven't seen hair this perfect since...OK, since just yesterday, when we took a closer look at Taylor Swift's new bob. But if big sexy waves are more your speed, Behati's hair here is pretty much as good as it gets.
Who's hair-swooning with me right now?

Gary Numan will be playing Denver tonight at the Gothic Theater. Show starts at 8pm. He's currently on tour supporting his fantastic album Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind). I caught the show at the Mountain Oasis Festival 2013 and will be at the show tonight. It's an incredible show so if you are in Denver area come on down.
For those readers not in Denver and for those who have not yet bought the album visit so visit http://www.numan.co.uk for more information on the album and tour.
Gary was kind enough to take time out of his schedule to answer a few questions for Modulate This!
Update 4/5/2014: The show was simply incredible. I'll do a follow-up post with photos. Subscribe through RSS or email here. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ModulateThis.
Mark Mosher: I love the amazing amount of sonic space and dynamic range in the mix of Splinter. I especially like how your vocals are right up front and you can hear the amazing detail in the music and sound design. Even when songs like "Who Are You" are running at full tilt, the mix has enough sonic space so you can make out interesting sound elements like scraping metallic noises and such. Can you shed some light on the overall development of Splinter and your collaborative process with producer Ade Fenton to create an album with such drive and emotion without losing all the sonic detail?
Gary Numan: No special tricks or processes were employed to get the album to sound the way it does, just a lot of attention to detail and care. Ade worked very closely with Nathan Boddy with the mixing at their respective studios in the UK and those mixes were sent over to me for feedback. There was a lot of communication and discussion obviously as things progressed. The songwriting part of it is fairly simple. I start with a piano and work out the melody and structure. When I'm happy with that I turn to the technology and begin to flesh the song out, building the dynamics and mood. A rough guide vocal without real words follows so that I can get the phrasing exactly right without trying to squeeze in lyrics that don't really fit, then, when I'm happy with that, the actual lyrics, then the final vocal. At this stage I will have a fairly well developed demo that gives Ade the guidance he needs to know where I see the song going. Those files are then sent to Ade and the production part of it begins. From then on it's a lot of to and fro as we move the song forward. We do argue but it's rarely angry, we're always trying to get the song as good as it can be rather than win a contest between us. It's quite difficult to comment on the way we work as being anything unusual because it really isn't. I write the songs and create reasonably high quality demo's, Ade makes them sound much better and, quite often, will take the song in a new direction. Sometimes that works, sometimes not, but I'm always happy to try out his ideas and see where they take us.
Mark Mosher: My favorite track on the album is "A Shadow Falls on Me". It has such an interesting arrangement. The non-vocal elements of the song are conjured up in a wake behind your vocals. The end result is you really pull the listener along and make them try and anticipate what's coming next. Was this a idea pulling the listener along with the vocals and melody a conscious idea from the beginning or something that happened as you developed the song?
Gary Numan: Yes, pretty much. The idea was to build the song with each new vocal section, increasing the level of emotion and power at each step. Ade came up with a huge drum part that was great and changed things considerably but it was just too much to have running from start to finish so we adapted it and used the idea to build an even bigger series of steps, following the original idea but with a greater shift in power and emotion each time. Interestingly the vocal line started out as my first attempt to collaborate with the band Battles. They weren't too keen on my first vocal idea for their My Machines song so I used it on A Shadow Falls On Me instead.
Mark Mosher: There are some amazing textures and sound elements on Splinter. What's your creative process for creating unique sounds to support your song writing?
Gary Numan: Sounds can come from anywhere. Walking around the street with a recorder kicking things, slamming things, scraping, dragging, whatever. Using software packages like Omnisphere and Massive, whispering words and phrases and then manipulating those sounds beyond recognition, recording journeys, trains, cars, absolutely anything and everything, and then finding ways to mess with those source sounds until you have something you've never heard before. There is no process as such, just a real pleasure from finding new ways to create new sounds.
Mark Mosher: There is a fantastic video on the Nine Inch Nails YouTube channel where you make a surprise appearance and perform "Metal" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehMqEXUspfs) back in 2009. You've gone on to share the bill with NIN for a series of concerts and NIN guitarist Robin Finck both plays on Splinter and has played with your touring band. Can you tell us more about the Gary Numan-Trent Reznor-NIN connection and perhaps how this connection has deepened since you have moved to LA?Gary Numan: Trent came to see us at a show I was playing in Baton Rouge many years ago, this was when he was making The Fragile. He brought with him a copy of a song of mine that he had covered called Metal which was fantastic. After that, whenever NIN played in London I would go and see them and we would meet up briefly for a chat. Then in 2009 I was invited to join them on stage at their O2 gig in London, then to do the same thing when they played the last four shows of that version of NIN in Los Angeles that same year. When I moved to Los Angeles Trent wrote the first of my Testimonial letters for the US authorities which really helped. As soon as we moved to the US he invited to his house a couple of times and made us feel very welcome, then the recent shows and some other social things. He's been a good friend, in his own, quiet way, on several levels and I'm very grateful to him.
Mark Mosher: I was in attendance at your interview at the Mountain Oasis 2013 Festival in Asheville, NC with Geary Yelton for Keyboard Magazine. In that interview, you mentioned that since you've now moved to Los Angeles, that you were hoping to get involved with some film soundtracks. Can you give us an update on any developments in this area of your career?
Gary Numan: It's a very cautious thing for me. The musical side of that idea is very exciting but the political side of it, or at least the horror stories I've heard about it, are really quite daunting so I'm not sure whether it will suit me or not. I'm just finishing my first film score, which I co-wrote with Ade Fenton on this occasion, for an animated movie called From Inside. A grim and heavy story about a pregnant girls journey on a mysterious train after the world has been destroyed. It has been a gentle first step into writing scores for both of us and again, I'm very grateful to the people involved, John Bergin the Director, and Brian McNellis the Producer, for giving me the opportunity and for making it a stress free project. We'll see where it goes from here.
Mark Mosher: Rather than fall back on "nostalgia" you have really pushed the envelope to try new ideas throughout your career. Do you have any advice for Modulate This readers on how to take the "long view" of their craft and their music careers?
Gary Numan: I've always been aware that everything you do today will stick to you in the future so you must be very careful. You need to think about how today's actions will be perceived in the coming years. Will they hurt your reputation, weaken your fan base? Are you doing things now for short term gain that might kill your career growth in the coming years? I've made some terrible mistakes over the years but the thing that has always been important to me is never to rely or dwell on past glories, no matter how big they might be. Try to move forward musically with every album, don't be afraid to try new things, constantly, and avoid nostalgia at all costs. Of course, if you just want to be rich then milk the nostalgia route for all it's worth. Plenty of people make very good livings by simply repeating things they did decades ago but I think that's a pretty empty way to look at creativity. Write music because you genuinely love what you are doing, not because you think it might get you on the radio or keep the record label happy. I went through a period of writing 'strategically' and the music suffered and I did nothing that I'm proud of or still play today. It was soul destroying actually and almost ruined my career. For the first part of my career, and certainly for the last 20 years, I've written songs with no thoughts at all about how they might achieve commercial success. I want that of course, but you must NOT try to design your music to achieve it. Write what's in your heart, what you love, and then hope for the best as far as commercial success is concerned.
Special thanks to the fantastic photographer and musician Rod Tanaka for coordinating this interview.

www.FearCannotSaveUs <<< New Cinematic Electronica Album
Gary Numan just released a new video for the song "I Am Dust" from his latest album Splinter.
Directed by Logan Owlbeemoth with effects by Omebi Velouria, this video was made using a Tachyons + video glitch synth effected live via a HI-8 camera and a CRT television to create triply, blurry, VHS-style images of Gary Numan as he sings the song. In a nod to Gary's analogue roots, no computer post production was used in the making of this video.
Gary Numan is currently on tour in the US, then off to Australia/New Zealand followed by the UK (http://www.numan.co.uk/tour/). He'll be playing Denver on April 4th at the Gothic. Visit his official web site for more news and links to the new album http://www.numan.co.uk/.

Geary Interviews Gary
Besides having the honor of bringing the 9 Box to the Mountain Oasis 2013 Festival this year, the biggest highlight for me was getting to see Geary Yelton's interview with Gary Numan for Electronic Musician. Geary was my host during the festival so that made the interview even that much cooler :^)
The interview took place in the 500 seat Diana Wortham Theater which was totally packed. Geary had great questions and Gary was super open, funny, and direct with his answer which was really interesting and refreshing. It's a must see video if you're an electronic musician IMHO as Gary offers some really great insight on the industry and being an artist in general.
My favorite part of the interview was Numan's take on hardware vs software vs analog vs digital (question starts at 43:19) "It's all about making noises. Who gives a shit about whether its analog, digital, software... if the noise at the end of it is a cool noise, that's the only thing that matters."
Electronic Musician posted the entire video on their youtube channel - http://youtu.be/0KJOY3UoY08.

Quick Copy Customers
Effective May 7, 2008, TPASS Quick Copy discontinued its operations. Quick Copy customers received prior notice of the closure at the end of April 2008. All existing and former customers of Quick Copy are encouraged to contact Texas Correctional Industries (TCI) for all their printing needs. Government Code 497.024 requires all State of Texas Agencies to procure printing services through TCI. See http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/gv.toc.htm for complete legislation.
The Government Code institutes a duty to purchase from Texas Correctional Industries by stating the following:
- (a) If the office produces an article or product under this subchapter, an agency of the state or a political subdivision may purchase the article or product only from the office.
- (b) If the comptroller determines that an article or product produced by the office under this subchapter does not meet the requirements of an agency of the state or a political subdivision, or that the office has determined that the office is unable to fill a requisition for an article or product, the agency or subdivision may purchase the article or product from another source.
- (c) An agency of the state or a political subdivision may not evade the intent of this subchapter by requesting an article or product that varies slightly from standards for articles or products established under Section 497.027, if the office produces a similar article or product that is in compliance with established standards and is reasonably suited to the actual needs of the agency or subdivision. Sec. 497.025.
PURCHASING PROCEDURE requires:
- (a) An agency of the state that purchases articles and products under this subchapter must requisition the purchase through the comptroller except for purchases of articles or products not included in an established contract. The purchase of articles or products not included in an established contract and that do not exceed the dollar limits established under Section 2155.132 may be acquired directly from the office on the agency's obtaining an informal or a formal quotation for the item and issuing a proper purchase order to the office. The comptroller and the department shall enter into an agreement to expedite the process by which agencies are required to requisition purchases of articles or products through the comptroller.
- (b) A political subdivision may purchase articles and products under this subchapter directly from the office.
- (c) If an agency or political subdivision purchasing goods under this subchapter desires to purchase goods or articles from the office, it may do so without complying with any other state law otherwise requiring the agency or political subdivision to request competitive bids for the article or product. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to require a political subdivision to purchase goods or articles from the office if the political subdivision determines that the goods or articles can be purchased elsewhere at a lower price. An agency may decline to purchase goods or articles from the office if the agency determines, after giving the office a final opportunity to negotiate on price, and the comptroller certifies, that the goods or articles can be purchased elsewhere at a lower price.
If you need any assistance regarding Quick Copy services, please contact Elton Brock at (512) 463-6546.
Provided that a State of Texas Agency has received a waiver of approval from the Texas Correctional Industries, the State Agency may directly contact the approved Council on Competitive Government-listed additional print shop service providers.

'Big Bang Theory' Cast Members Reportedly Will Get $1 Million Per Episode
Contract negotiations may be ending for the cast of the hit sitcom "Big Bang Theory."
According to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, three star members of the CBS sitcom have agreed to take home $1,000,000-per-episode paychecks.
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco have reportedly inked deals for the seven figure salaries days after production for the hit series was halted due to ongoing contract negotiations.
"We are not commenting or confirming the speculation that has come about due to the Deadline story today. We will keep you posted when we plan to comment," a representative for WBTV said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.
Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are reportedly still in negotiations for the upcoming seasons.
WSJ's Amol Sharma wrote that shows like "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Good Wife" have helped CBS network continue its reign as the No. 1 broadcaster in terms of total viewers for the 11th time in 12 years. The sitcom is the most watched comedy on television averaging 19.79 million viewers last season.

Location: Plant Genetic Resources
Project Number: 8060-21000-024-01
Start Date: Jun 01, 2009
End Date: May 31, 2014
The vegetable curator at Geneva, NY will identify the short-day onions that require regeneration. The accessions that are in most need of regeneration each year will be prepared and sent to New Mexico State University for regeneration. At New Mexico State University, the accessions will be seeded in seedling flats. Once plants have reached a large enough size, they will be transplanted to a field for bulb production. Plants will be grown over the winter. Once the plants have matured the following summer, bulbs will be collected from each accession and will be stored at ambient conditions for 3-4 months. Once bulbs begin to break dormancy, they will be set in a seed production field. The following spring, a 10' x 10' cage will be placed over the bulbs from each accession. Once the bulbs have flowered, blowflies will be introduced into each cage for flower pollination. After one month, the mature seed for each accession will be harvested, dried, and cleaned. The seed produced from the regeneration will be transferred to PGRU. At PGRU, the seed will be dried and germination tests conducted. Then seed stock inventory status will be updated on GRIN (Germplasm Resources Information Network).

SANTA CLARA -- Robert Griffin III has a plan to cure what ails his sophomore season with the slumping Washington Redskins, and it could start Monday night against the 49ers.
"Start winning, that's the only thing that can cure all this," Griffin said Wednesday in a conference call with Bay Area media.
Both the 49ers (6-4) and Redskins (3-7) take two-game losing streaks into their Monday night matchup at FedEx Field.
Griffin's health, leadership and even his relationship with coach Mike Shanahan have all come under more scrutiny with the Redskins' descent into the NFC East cellar.
"Two guys that want to win football games," Griffin said of his relationship with Shanahan. "That's the relationship and we're making sure that will happen."
Griffin said he merely was trying to compliment the Philadelphia Eagles defense after Sunday's loss and instead it was interpreted as criticism of the Redskins' coaches. Former Redskins great Darrell Green questioned Griffin's leadership skills in the days prior to the game.
"Everybody looking from outside in can question anything they want when you're sitting 3-7," Griffin said. "We haven't found ways to just win the games. We have to be more consistent and that all starts with me. It's not easy to win in the NFL no matter who you play, no matter what you did the previous year. I knew that and it's showing now."
Colin Kaepernick has learned that, too, as he's in the midst of his first full season as the 49ers' starting quarterback.
Griffin's 83.6 passer rating has him tied for 18th in the league with the Patriots' Tom Brady. Following them is Buffalo Bills' rookie E.J. Manuel (82.1) and then the 49ers' Kaepernick (81.8).
"I've never had chance to meet him, but in the future we'll get a chance to talk and do things in the community," Griffin said.
Griffin does know 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who tried recruiting him to Stanford before he opted for Baylor. Giffin confirmed that Harbaugh pitched a two-quarterback system with him and Andrew Luck, but that ultimately he passed on the Cardinal because of his desire to graduate early.
Griffin said Harbaugh indeed brought up the failed recruitment when they ran into each other at the scouting combine.
"He really wanted me to go there to play quarterback," Griffin said of Stanford. "At the end of the day, I figured it wasn't the best option for me. He wasn't happy about it. But he was professional about it."

Get ready to roll with Marc, Jarrett, Jennifer, Roy, Chris and Robbie in the newest season of the A&E's "Shipping Wars" (which features uShip). Season 4 premieres June 11 with back-to-back episodes at 10/9c.
If you aren't familiar with "Shipping Wars", it paints the transportation industry in a rather unorthodox light, including over-the-road drama, dilemmas, odd shipments and unruly customers.
So if you dig the drama — keeping in mind it's reality television — Season 4 is for you.
Not only does the regular cast of characters bid against and bash on each other in Season 4, they'll also face three new teams of independent transporters. Watch the newbies Courtney and Chelsea, Johnny, and Kourtney and Tish hold their own in drama-filled bidding wars and prove that the "Shipping Wars" rookies know what they're doing.
In the season premiere episode at 10pm, Jarrett books a load of monkeys and learns the truth behind the phrase "never work with kids or animals." Marc's patience is sawed in half when he drives cross-country to deliver a load to Atlantic City for a Las Vegas magician. At 10:30pm, Chris and Robbie convert one of their rigs to run on vegetable oil and scramble to find fuel on a cross-country haul. Roy tries to help his son Travis break into the hauling business, but it turns out Travis' girlfriend isn't the problem.
As Jarrett says, "Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid." Find out how this phrase holds true in Season Four.

Amy Winehouse's Funeral Held in London (Photos)
Amy Winehouse's funeral was held today in London. Among the mourners were the singer's father, mother and brother, along with close friends, celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne, and musicians such as Mark Ronson, who co-produced her breakthrough album "Back to Black."
Her father Mitch Winehouse reportedly said in his eulogy "knowing she passed away happy, it makes us all feel better."
The service for Winehouse, led by a rabbi, was held at north London's Edgwarebury cemetery, and ended with a rendition of Carole King's "So Far Away," said to be one of her favorite songs. Afterward, Winehouse's body was transported to the Golders Green crematorium, where it was cremated.
According to the Associated Press, the Winehouse family is now due to hold two days of shiva, a Jewish traditional period of mourning.

Instead, he'll have to be satisfied with the usual anonymity afforded an offensive lineman in the NFL – a mention in a newspaper or two and maybe some positive feedback from his position coach and some teammates.
"Even though you're name isn't on the scoreboard or in the press box, little plays like that show up," Olivea said.
In this case, Olivea's "little" play was pretty big. The Chargers were leading Kansas City 21-13 with about 9½ minutes left yesterday when LaDainian Tomlinson fumbled. Several players were around the ball, but only one was wearing a blue jersey.
Fortunately for the Chargers, it was Olivea, their second-year right tackle, who saw the ball come free and pounced on it. On the next play, Drew Brees threw his third touchdown pass of the day to Antonio Gates, and the Chargers were on their way to a critical 28-20 victory.
"I'm just fortunate I kept it alive, and the next play Gatesy makes a great play," Olivea said.
"I'm glad he got it," guard Kris Dielman said of his linemate. "Good god, that could have been ugly.
"But that's just Shane hustling. That's what he does. We all hustle up front, and that's what happens when you hustle."
Added Brees: "I think those guys have been very resilient the last couple of weeks. They've played so well, obviously through some tough circumstances. When you're shuffling guys in and out on the offensive line . . . I don't think people understand how hard it is throwing another guy in there. But I think that group has really come together."
A year ago the Chargers started the same five players on the offensive line in all but two games, when they were missing center Nick Hardwick. The same group started the first two games this year, at which point Toniu Fonoti (broken hand) was replaced by Dielman. Everything was status quo for three weeks, but then Olivea missed the Oct. 16 game at Oakland.
He returned last week at Philadelphia, but Hardwick was out. Yesterday Hardwick again sat out, and he was joined by Oben, who sprained his left foot.
"We knew that going in this year, we were going to have a tough year, and the first and second backups were going to have to contribute," Olivea said.
They're on their third backup now, with Dielman replacing Fonoti, Bob Hallen taking over for Hardwick and Leander Jordan spelling first Olivea and now Oben, for as long as he might be out. (Oben declined to comment yesterday, saying he wanted to see how his foot would feel today.)
"Anytime you've got to step in for a starter, you know everybody's counting on you," Jordan said, "so you've got to be able to go in there and do an adequate job.
"I just go in there and think about my teammates are counting on me. That's really what motivates me. Any time I get to go in there, I think I've got to play hard for my teammates."
Jordan has been in the league six years but has started only six games. His teammates have confidence in him, however.
"Yeah, I'd like to have Roman in there, but Lee's a good player," Dielman said. "He can go in there and get the job done just as well."

By Chanel S. Weaver, U.S. Army Public Health CommandAugust 8, 2011
Atmospheric scientists are one step closer to improving the use of satellites to measure air quality and surface pollution, thanks to a new partnership.
The DISCOVER-AQ mission, which stands for Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality, is being led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and includes monitoring at an Aberdeen Proving Ground"Edgewood site, coordinated through the U.S. Army Public Health Command. The study allows local college students to team up with scientists and experts within the public and private sector to monitor air quality remotely for public health and environmental benefits.
The first phase of this four-phase mission is being conducted through collaboration with numerous federal, state and local agencies including the USAPHC, Maryland Department of the Environment, Pennsylvania State University, Millersville University and the University of Maryland.
For a six-week period this summer, the scientists and students used ground-based instruments, airborne equipment aboard NASA aircraft, and weather balloons to monitor air quality at several locations in the Baltimore/Washington region, including APG.
"These airplanes are simulating what a satellite would see," said Doug Martins, a post-doctoral researcher at Penn State University.
The equipment in the planes can measure meteorological conditions, the level of air pollutants to include ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.
"It's really exciting to have an active role in data collection," said Martins. "It's a unique experience."
In order to help verify measurement data from the satellite, Penn State researchers release helium-filled balloons to measure meteorological and air quality conditions around the same time that the airborne equipment is sampling.
"The balloons are equipped with instrumentation measuring ozone, pressure, temperature and relative humidity," said Martins. "This information is recorded and compared with the results of the satellite to see if the results are similar."
Officials from the USAPHC's Army Institute of Public Health said if the satellite monitoring is successful, the advancements could be groundbreaking.
"This research is quite useful and can be very beneficial to the U.S. Army Public Health Command," said John Resta, director of the AIPH.
Through the Deployment Environment Surveillance Program, the USAPHC collects, analyzes and reports results of air sampling in deployed locations like Kuwait and Afghanistan. The NASA-led research has the potential to benefit the Army by identifying possible air pollutants that deployed forces might face while allowing public health specialists to collect air samples remotely. Atmospheric monitoring via satellite could increase monitoring efficiency"air samples could even be collected during maneuver warfare"and have a safety benefit.
"If we can monitor air quality remotely, we may be able to deploy less people to a war zone, therefore keeping them out of harm's way," said Resta.
The NASA study also has more immediate benefits to APG, where the Maryland Department of the Environment already operates an air monitoring station.
"One of the reasons we are active participants in this program is because it allows us to compare our results to the results of NASA," said Terry Meade, an environmental scientist and USAPHC project lead for the coordinated efforts with the DISCOVER-AQ mission. "This comparison helps us validate our equipment, and ensure we are doing quality work."
Just as this partnership benefits scientists and researchers at the USAPHC and other agencies, the students involved in the DISCOVER-AQ project said the program has been a highlight of their summer.
"It is quite rewarding to come out to the field and apply what we learned in class to actual hands-on training with these federal, local and state agencies," said Hannah Halliday, a graduate student in the meteorology department at Penn State University.
Ryan Stauffer, a fellow graduate student at Penn State agreed.
"What we are doing here at Aberdeen Proving Ground allows us to put our science to use," said Stauffer. "It is so much more interesting than sitting in a classroom."

There are no reports of injuries or property damage, other than minor lawn damage.The recall includes the following model Dixon ZTR riding mowers, which are blue, with the serial numbers in the following ranges:
The model numbers are located on the body of the mower near the bottom of the seat, or on both sides of the front of the body above the wheels. The serial numbers are located on the left rear corner of the riding mowers, behind the engine. The name "DIXON" is on the front of the mowers. Dixon dealers sold these mowers nationwide at various time periods from July 1997 through March 2002 for between $2,500 and $7,400.Consumers should stop using these mowers immediately and contact their nearest Dixon dealer for free installation of a replacement fuel tank.

Scale RulesPromotional Rules
Since people frequently needed length measures for everyday activities, American companies realized in the late 19th century that rulers could be effective giveaways for promoting their businesses. Some of these were based on a design patented by Henry Adler, an inventor who manufactured iron and sheet metal products in Pittsburgh, so this page also includes three of the four patent models for scale rules found in the mathematics collections. (The fourth is shown on the page for triangular rules.) Since the promotional rules and patent models were often combination instruments—putting length measures together with paper cutters, protractors, and the like—these objects are included in this category.

Somers Bros. Ruler and Paper Cutter, Advertising Horlick's Malted Milk
- Description
- This yellow-coated tin combination rule and paper cutter has a 9" scale divided to eighths of an inch along one long edge. The other long edge is shaped into a tube, which may serve as a handle while cutting paper. The rule is marked: Compliments (/) of HORLICK'S FOOD Co (/) RACINE, WIS. It is also marked: HORLICK'S FOOD (/) IS THE BEST DIET (/) for INFANTS (/) and INVALIDS (/) &c. Advertising text also appears around the tube, including the information that 18 ounces of the product cost 75¢. The back of the rule is marked: SOMERS BROS. BROOKLYN, N.Y. Compare to MA*293320.2814.
- William Horlick (1846–1936) and his brother, James, emigrated from England in 1869 and settled in Racine, Wis. In 1872 the men moved to Chicago, where they established Horlick's Food Company before moving the firm back to Racine in 1876. They worked on dried milk powders, leading to William's patent for the first malted milk powder in 1883. This product is the one advertised on this object, for use as a baby formula and to provide easily-digestible nutrition to nursing mothers, people with stomach problems, and the like.
- Joseph L. and Guy A. Somers began manufacturing tin products in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1862. When a third brother, Daniel McLean, joined the firm in 1869, the business was renamed Somers Bros. It became known for lithographing designs onto tinware. In 1901 American Can Company took over the firm's operations. A three-acre factory building constructed in 1884 still stands. Richard S. Thain of Oak Park, Ill., patented the design for this combination ruler and paper cutter in 1885.

The question with earrings…..
Which do you prefer when wearing earrings? Posts or wires? These green chrysoprase earrings with pave crystal accents from Margaret Elizabeth are posts, while the exquisite red-bronze medals from Andrea Barnett are on wires. For those with sensitive skin, it's typically not the style that makes the difference, it's the material. Surgical steel, titanium, 14kt gold, sterling silver….the list is as long as the materials that make the earrings.
Great earrings from Ayala Bar – these on posts!
Ayala Bar makes earrings of all sizes, from little button-style earrings to extravagantly detailed earrings of a significant size. The intriguing mix of fabric, stones, beads along with her detailed technique make Ayala Bar's work recognizable – and versatile. Dress up, dress down – these earrings will go with you with ease. And don't think you can't wear a dangle earring if you prefer posts. Plenty of dangles begin with a post back, like these from Ayala Bar.
Andrea Barnett puts earrings on posts and wires, take your pick. Today, these delicate rock crystal chandelier earrings – on wires – are calling your name.
Hoop earrings – posts
Some styles lend themselves to posts It's not always a matter of weight! These hoops on posts from Natalie Frigo are lightweight and go with everything – a true classic!
The metal mesh hoops from Sarah Cavender Metalworks are also on posts. These earrings fall in the "go with everything" category, a category we love.
Round hoop earrings – wires
We LOVE these hoop earrings on wires – a full circle! Hand made of satin finish vermeil by Philippa Roberts they are very light. They are fierce with a fabulous up-do or a casual ponytail! Day or night, these are go-to earrings.
It comes down to a choice of ease and style – and personal preference. We have plenty of earrings on posts and on wires to meet your needs. Come take a look at the many great earrings.
