Thread: $80. mistake!
$80. mistake!
Duh . . . I accidentally let my TV converter box coupons expire. I put them away in a safe place when I first got them, thinking I need to wait until February to get the boxes, and didn't look at the expiration date. Well, now I know that you can get the boxes any time, pulled out my coupons and they were expired! I called the 800 number and they cannot be replaced nor the date extended for any reason.
I am so mad at myself . . .
Just wanted to keep anyone else from making the same mistake.

What a bummer! And that is sad that they won't replace them. Is there any way you can get completely new ones? Maybe someone who doesn't need them could order them for you? I dunno. Good luck!09-03-2008, 01:14 PM #3~RussSponsored Links Remove Advertisements09-03-2008, 01:38 PM #4

That's such a bummer! We already bought ours, but I realized the cards were about to expire and got the boxes just two days before they did. I don't see why the cards expire at all.
--Michelle09-03-2008, 04:30 PM #8
~I anticipated a huge demand for the coupons and a limited supply so I ordered mine as soon as they were available. I had no idea they expired until I pulled them out to use them. Oopps! Luckily my mom had an extra one that was still valid. Ask your friends, co-workers, neighbors, and Freecycle if they have a coupon to spare.~09-03-2008, 08:36 PM #9

I don't understand why they are being so stingy when giving out the discount cards. I'm already having problems with reception with the two boxes I bought and now they are over 30 days old so I can't exchange them or return them. Nor can I get 2 more cards at this address. They don't even have all the converter boxes available to choose from.
Everything was working fine and then I began losing reception of almost all the channels at around the same time each night after 11 PM. No idea what is going on but it ticks me off!
I just read also that Canada doesn't have to make the switch to digital tv until 2011! Why the rush here?
What happens if I did buy a digital tv and I begin to have problems with reception on that after 30 days, too?09-04-2008, 12:09 PM #12
HandyMom ~ If I understand correctly, come February when things go digital, your problems with reception will be gone and everything will be much better then. Hang in there!09-04-2008, 06:59 PM #13

It may or may not be a complete disaster as a movie, but low-budget indie The Canyons has definitely gotten more than its fair share of publicity.
For that, credit can be given to the cast, led by porn star James Deen and publicly troubled Lindsay Lohan, not to mention director Paul Schrader and writer Bret Easton Ellis. Rejections by Sundance and SXSW added to the tale. But IFC Films picked up U.S. rights last month, and now we'll find out if the world at large cares enough to pony up money to see it.
Voltage Pictures has acquired international sales rights to the film, according to Screen Daily, and will offer it to buyers beginning in May at Cannes. The company, based in Los Angeles, produced William Friedkin's Killer Joe last year and has a stake in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Don Jon (formerly Don Jon's Addiction), which will be out later this year.
In its favor, The Canyons has its low production budget, and the upcoming U.S. release, set for summer, may unearth critical champions. It was never destined for anything more than a niche audience, but there was some thought aforehand that it might help resuscitate the careers of Lohan, Schrader, and, to some extent, Ellis. If nothing else, it will be a big curiosity item in the States; it will be fascinating to see how many international distributors take a chance on it.

Close Race for Dixie County Judge, Mixed Emotions Among Residents
The dust is settling after Tuesday's Primary Elections. In Dixie County, a difference of only 16 votes put Jennifer Ellison on top over incumbent Cynthia Munkittrick for County Judge. This comes on the heels of news that Ellison and others connected to the Property Assessors office had their properties assessed well under their actual value, but that wasn't enough to keep ellison from winning.
As canvassing board members printed the final results for the Dixie County Judge Election, residents crowded the office to hear who would be the winner. Because there was a difference of less than half a percent in the votes cast, an automatic recount was required. Dixie County Supervisor of Elections Starlet Cannon says, "The margin was close there, the recount numbers, there was a 16 vote difference so it automatically calls for a recount." Cannon adds that this is only the second time in her career since 1997 that she's seen an election come down this close. She says, "We have a lot of people that was out there supporting both candidates, and we just had to wait and see what the outcome was gonna be for both of them."
The county saw voter turnout for this election at a little over 36%. With the results officially released around noon today, some residents were excited to hear Jennifer Ellsion won. Resident Rap Brown says, "Ms. Ellison has been a lawyer here for a long time and I've been in them for a long time, and I think she's a good woman to serve this job, I think she'll be fit to all the people."
Other residents say they had wished incumbent Cynthia Munkittrick had held on to her gavel, but that it's out of their hands now.
Resident Nina Johnson says, "Truthfully, I think she, um... I don't know really how to say it, I really feel that she worked very hard to get it, and she won by 16 votes, and I think a lot of people thought she would slide in, but she slid in on a banana peel."
We asked three other people what they thought about the results, and they said they were not happy that Ellison won, but they refused to go on camera. Ellison and her attorney also refused to speak on camera.

Hello to all
I got a decent laptop with "standard" OS (guess), and I wanted to install BT4 on USB HD. Reason for that, is that I want to boot into BT4 only when HD is plugged in, and not to install on my laptop HD. My bios is capable of booting from UBS, so this seemed easy...
- Booted from LiveDVD, clicked install.sh, chose to install to sdb. Formatting lasted over 3 hours (250GB HD), and still nothing. Reboot. tried to install again, formatting over 4 hours, still nothing, still stuck at 5% of installation.
- Booted up from LiveDVD, clikced on Partition Editor, deleted all partitions on sdb, and created smaller ones. Sdb1 was ext3 (with boot flag) size 50GB, sdb2 was swap with 8GB. Clicked in install.sh again. Installer didn't ask me to format the partitions, and it started to install. Great!
- Can't load from UBS HD, I get message "Error loading operating system". I don't know much about Linux, I installed GRUB on sdb. GRUB loads, but I still can't boot into BT. I figured that maybe GRUB isn't looking at proper partition. I booted in LiveDVD, mounted drive sdb, and BT appears to be installed. I edited menu.lst in grub directory and added "root (hd1,0)" to first selection, and now I'm getting this error when I choose first choice in grub: "Error 17: cannot mount selected partition"
How da H3ll do I make my UBS HD boot up?

Kappa Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)
Sarna News
|Unit Profile (as of 3060)
|Parent Formation
|Clan Nova Cat Touman
Stationed on Circe[1] and Hoard.
Galaxy Commander Tirill Nostra was on Hoard along with the Fourth, Seventeenth and Forty-ninth Provisional Garrison Clusters in May 3060 when forces from a number of Clans began launching attacks on the Nova Cats, beginning with attacks by forces from Clan Star Adder on the 6th of May.[2]
The Eleventh Armored Cavalry Squadron and the 417th Adder Sentinels began the attack, followed by forces from Clan Ice Hellion and then, two days later, forces from Clan Wolf. Forces from Clan Hell's Horses arrived at the same time as those from Clan Wolf, but didn't attack until the 13th. It was from Star Colonel Eliza Talasko of the Eleventh that Nostra learned of the Nova Cat Abjurement, and that the Abjurement had been decreed by the Clan Council in retaliation for the Nova Cats joining the Second Star League and fighting for the Second Star League during the Great Refusal on Strana Mechty, although by the time Nostra learned of what had happened the Fourth PGC had taken heavy damage and the Seventeenth had nearly been destroyed.[2]
Nostra continued to have Kappa Galaxy defend against the various Clan forces so that as many of the Nova Cat civilian castes on Hoard could escape to the Aegis-class heavy cruiser NCS Chronicle, which was attached to Kappa Galaxy at the time, and which would subsequently ferry those who escaped back to the Nova Cat holdings in the Inner Sphere. The First Wolf Lancers kept a dogged pursuit of the Fourth PGC up for several days as Star Colonel Bel led his Cluster on a determined defense, the Forty-ninth PGC having already been destroyed when forces from several units from different Clans deliberately concentrated their fire on them, destroying all forty-five 'Mechs within the unit and killing all of the Nova Cat warriors. The Fourth had survived until the 13th largely because on the night of the 12th, the Ice Hellions' Forty-fifth Striker Irregulars had chosen to attack the First Wolf Strikers - in fact, fratricidal attacks between the various Clan units opposing Kappa Galaxy was the main reason any elements of Kappa were still functioning by the 13th.[2]
On the 13th the Star Adder York-class destroyer CSA Star Fire attacked the Chronicle above Hoard, only to be destroyed by the heavier WarShip; even as the Star Fire was being destroyed, the Hell's Horses Twelfth Mechanized Cavalry Cluster joined the attack on Kappa, the first time Hell's Horses had attacked since landing on Hoard.[2] Ultimately the clusters of Kappa on Hoard would fall to this avalanche of multiple Clans and were obliterated. [1]
However, the remaining clusters of Kappa on Circe would avoid major combat when they were approached by Clan Snow Raven with the offer of Raven ships to screen and escort the Nova Cat withdrawal from the Homeworlds to the Inner Sphere in exchange for the Nova Cat holdings on Circe. Embittered by their losses in the Homeworlds, the remains of Kappa that escaped from Circe would form the 44th Garrison Cluster of the new Zeta Provisional Galaxy.[1] [3]
During the Nova Cat Abjurement Kappa Galaxy was commanded by Galaxy Commander Tirill Nostra.[2]
- Fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster[2]
- Seventeenth Provisional Garrison Cluster[2]
- Forty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster[2]
- Aegis-class heavy cruiser NCS Chronicle[2]
- Provisional designation is assumed based on the Galaxy's role as a defense force for Nova Cat holdings in Clan Space.

When You Gotta Go (and write about it)
Sometimes we want to talk about something just because it's fun, or because we want to vent or (try to) be witty, or we just have to get something out of our heads, and because we are writers, of course, we do so in print. That's what I did when I got very, very tired of being ribbed about needing to use the, ahem, facilities, seemingly all the time. It's a short read (just like all visits to the aforementioned facilities). And, you get to discover, if you haven't already, a nifty little site for short bursts of personal writing.

Environmental Management and Integration Team
Resource Protection, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Team
Environmental Management and Integration Team
Resource Protection, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Team
Mary Josie Blanchard is Deputy Director of the Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance (OEPC) within the Office of the Secretary in the Department of the Interior. She is a member of the Senior Executive Service. In this position, Ms. Blanchard oversees and coordinates DOI's compliance with environmental statutes, handling environmental matters that cut across the various bureaus of the Department and provides environmental advice to upper management. She works extensively with the eight regions of OEPC. Among her accomplishments, she led an interdisciplinary team which substantially improved the Department's fiscal reporting to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for hydropower licensing. Ms. Blanchard was instrumental in developing and implementing the Environmental Safeguards Management Improvement initiative in which Interior serves as the primary Federal agency for response to emergencies dealing with natural and cultural resources and historic properties during incidents under the National Response Framework and National Disaster Recovery Framework. This initiative has provided successful planning for, response to and recovery from disasters-in part by incorporating lessons learned from recent hurricanes into Standard Operating Procedures.
Immediately prior to her assuming this position, she was Assistant Director, Program Support at the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) in the Department of the Interior. She was responsible for developing OSMRE's regulations, policies, and technical guidance for active and abandoned mine land reclamation in order to implement the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act. In addition, she oversaw the Applicant Violator System and technical training programs. Ms. Blanchard's other positions at OSMRE have included Special Assistant to the Director where she headed the agency's Interim Management Team which developed management guidance for turning the bureau into a highly functioning organization. This guidance was a model for inclusion of employees and customers in its implementation. Earlier, she held various branch chief and staff positions within the bureau where she managed and improved the surface coal mining and reclamation operations on Federal and Indian lands.
In between her two tenures at OSMRE, Ms. Blanchard served in OEPC as Senior Environmental Review Officer for Minerals activities and National Environmental Policy Act compliance. There she served as DOI's representative on Federal Catastrophic Disaster Response Group for planning and implementing response to earthquakes which included revising the Departmental procedures for quickly assessing the impact on bureau facilities impacted by earthquakes. She later organized and managed the Hazardous Materials Management Division which oversaw DOI's compliance for treatment, disposal, and cleanup of hazardous and solid wastes on DOI's lands and facilities.
Ms. Blanchard received various awards including the Department of the Interior's two highest awards-the Distinguished Service award and the Meritorious Service award, as well as the Interior Women's Distinguished Leadership Award. Groups under her leadership have also earned unit awards.
Before her Federal Service, Ms. Blanchard was one of the first employees in the Surface Mining and Reclamation Division of the Texas Railroad Commission where she developed and implemented the permitting system for coal and uranium mine land reclamation in Texas. She was appointed by the Governor of Texas to the Interstate Mining Compact Commission. She also served in the Environmental Planning Division of the Texas General Land Office where she provided research and coordination on environmental planning and review and on development of the Coastal Management Program.
Ms. Blanchard, a native Texan, has an A.A. with honors from Stephens College and a B.A. and an M.A. from The University of Texas at Austin. She was a Senior Executive Fellow at Harvard University. Ms. Blanchard received the Stephens College Alumnae Achievement Award in 2007 and the Texas City Independent School District Hall of Honor. She has also served as an officer in Executive Women in Government. She is a Trustee of the Cheetah Conservation Fund and a Board Member of the Institute for Civility in Government. She also teaches flute and is a Master Gardener.

"He can run extremely fast and play extremely physically," Coach Mark Richt said.
Like Davis, Ellerbe could play either linebacker or safety. He will start at linebacker, defensive coordinator Willie Martinez said, but he would be moved.
Tyson Browning will remain at running back. There had been speculation from both Browning and the coaching staff that he might move to wide receiver.
Offensive tackle Chester Adams could switch to guard if that helps get the Bulldogs' five best offensive linemen on the field at the same time, offensive coordinator and line coach Neil Callaway said.
INJURY UPDATES: Two of the most closely watched players this spring will be offensive guards Josh Brock and Bartley Miller, who return after missing 2004 due to chronic shoulder problems. Both were starters in 2003 but it's unclear how much, if at all, they can contribute this season.
"I want to be optimistic," Callaway said. "I think Josh probably has a better chance realistically."
Running back Kregg Lumpkin, who missed last season due to a knee injury, will work his way slowly into practice. He should be able to participate in full speed pass skeleton drills at some point, Richt said.
Linebacker Tony Taylor, who also missed the season due to a knee injury, will go full speed from the beginning of practice.
The Bulldogs are still unsure if or when Marcus Jackson will be able to rejoin the team. The junior defensive lineman missed the 2004 season due to a blood clot in his brain.
Safety Olaolu Sanni-Osomo, who has been limited by a knee injury almost since he arrived in Athens, is able to run full speed straight ahead but still has trouble changing directions.
ANOTHER QB QUANDRY: Richt is relieved he doesn't have to answer any more questions about how he'll rotate quarterbacks D.J. Shockley and David Greene. Now the only question is: Who will back up Shockley?
Joe Tereshinski and Blake Barnes will enter the spring as co-No. 2s and battle for that spot. It's possible the Bulldogs could get to fall without deciding on a backup or even rotate backups each week of the season, Richt said.
"(Incoming freshman) Joe Cox will want to get in the battle in the fall, and he may very well do that," Richt said.
THIS AND THAT: Danny Ware and Lumpkin will both take snaps at fullback, Callaway said. ... The place-kicking competition will be open in the spring, Richt said. While Brandon Coutu and Andy Bailey are the frontrunners for the job, Ben Wilson and Dublin's Brian Mimbs also will get a shot, Richt said. ... Redshirt freshman wide receiver Demiko Goodman may miss some practices because he is participating with Georgia's track team.

Two Christian aid groups suspended in Afghanistan
- By Clare SestanovichClare Sestanovich and Sylvie Stein are researchers at Foreign Policy.
The Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) and Church World Service (CWS), two aid organizations operating in Afghanistan, were suspended yesterday from carrying out relief projects in the country. The damning transgression? An offending telephone book listing.
Controversy over the operations of the two groups first ignited when Noorin TV, a broadcasting company in Afghanistan, aired footage of baptisms and Christian prayer meetings in the country. Noorin sought to link the clips to NCA and CWS, but later conceded they had no conclusive evidence that either organization is involved in missionary activity. The company's director, Muhammed Arif Noori, admitted he was prompted to raise the alarm when skimming a directory of non-government organizations working in Afghanistan: the word "Church" in the names of both groups caught his eye and wound up inspiring his attack.
In spite of Noorin's dubious fact-finding, the government responded by suspending both groups-an action they say is fully backed by the law: in Afghanistan, proselytizing isn't merely frowned upon. It's downright illegal. The country's Constitution bans converting from Islam, or even just trying to get someone else to convert. Both NCA and CWS deny taking part in any evangelical activity. (Indeed, even Mohammed Sediq Amarkhiel, spokesman for Afghanistan's Ministry of Economy, acknowledged both groups are known for "doing a good job.") The NCA general secretary expressed hope for a "speedy and positive solution" to the fall-out, but at least for now, his organization-and its 8 million dollar budget for Afghanistan alone-will have to sit on the sidelines.

However, Canning Town's climb out of its deprivation ditch has been speedy, mainly due to its hot location less than two miles from Canary Wharf, with enough empty land to build new homes on an impressive scale.
Its transformation into a shiny new regeneration zone has seen developers lining up to fling £3.7 billion at a series of housing projects that will create 10,000 new homes and rebrand this area as a new suburb of trendy east London.
The latest convert to the delights of Canning Town is Mayor Boris Johnson. In September he committed to building 1,000 rental homes there for young Londoners.
The average price of a property in Canning Town is £342,435, well below the £500,000 London average but still more than seven times the city's average annual household income of just over £45,000.
A third-way option between renting and buying is shared ownership, and Notting Hill Home Ownership has 42 such properties available at its Rathbone Market development. Prices start at £106,000, which will buy a 40 per cent share of a one-bedroom flat with a full market value of £265,000. Two-bedroom flats start at £136,000 for a 40 per cent share.
"We are already witnessing great changes in this part of town," says Katie Bond, director of Notting Hill Home Ownership. "Being so close to Canary Wharf, Rathbone Market offers great starter homes for young professionals looking to start a new career in the business market but priced out of the financial district."
The Rathbone Market project is big, and, when complete, will include about 650 homes. The area has good transport links but has suffered from a dearth of facilities. However, Rathbone Market will have 35,000sq ft of shops and cafés and at its heart is an open square which will provide a new home for the area's eponymous market.
It will also have a community centre and a library on the site, which is on the busy Barking Road but is also close to several small parks including East Ham Nature Reserve and the tennis courts at Hermit Road Recreation Ground.
That's that for tat
Canning Town is a long-term work in progress but its Zone 2 station, on the Jubilee line for the Tube, and on the Docklands Light Railway, provides fast links to Canary Wharf and Stratford.
Some diehard locals fear that with the changes, their original East End Rathbone Market will become a mini Spitalfields/Borough Market. Early indications are that stalls selling "cultural cuisine, retro goods, vintage clothing and ladies' fashion" are in, while knock-off designer handbags and second-hand tat are out.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A few months ago I accepted a friend request from someone in another state whose name I did not recognize, figuring I may know them. I sent a message asking if I knew them after accepting the request, but got no response. After a few months I saw a post of theirs talking about being suicidal, so I attempted to talk them through it, and seemed to be successful, and continued messaging them occasionally. After a while, however, things started to get creepy. Even after I made it clear that I was not available for anything romantic or sexual, this person persisted in trying to get me to 'pretend' things with them of a fetishized nature, including feet and maternal 'affekshuns', saying a child could help them with such things. I again tried to make it clear that they were making me uncomfortable, but this only prompted them to ask for more affection and imply that they would become suicidal/mentally unstable if I did not give them the attention they sought. I decided that this person would only do me harm if I continued contact, so I unfriended them on facebook. They still sent messages, so I blocked them entirely, expecting the problem to be fixed. A few days later, however, they messaged me again on another media site, but this time using harsh and more intense language, insulting me and trying to demean me. I attempted to deal with the situation non-confrontationally hoping they would give up and move on, but have not yet gotten a message back. Several vaguely negative posts have been made talking about a single person, but I do not know if they were about me. If this does not stop, I will be seeking to take legal action, and want to know what to do. If it has any relevance, I am 16 and the person in question is 23, and it has been going on for a month. I've had to deal with the messages when in Kansas where I live, in Missouri, and in Texas where I stay with my mother for a part of the year.
I think you did the right thing trying to help a person who was contemplating suicide. Even when your kindness boomeranged, on you, you continued to do the right thing by just ignoring them. Usually a bully will find a new person once you cut them off. Unfortunately, this cyber-stalker is still on your case.
As a minor, you have plenty of extra protection available.
First, I suggest you speak to a parent about your problem. While they may not understand all the nuances behind the electronic communications, they will understand that their child needs help. Let them help you.
This is an area where the police can help you and will help you as the stalker is threatening you with bodily harm. File a police report, and do what they tell you to do.
Finally, if the police will not help you, hire an attorney. They can start with a cease and desist letter, and file a lawy suit if needed. A lawyer can get subpoena power to find who this is and make them stop.
Are You Planning on Opening a New E-Commerce Website?
There is much you need to know as you begin your new business. I suggest you do not attempt to write your own legal policies. This is not where your training and background lie, and though you are probably as smart as an attorney, you do not have their experience.
Below is a checklist for legal issues I use for new e-commerce clients.
1. Business entity - Are you going to be a C corp, an LLC or a sole proprietorship?
2. Terms of Service - This is your contract with your visitors and is the most important item for any e-commerce site. A little work here brings big dividends in the future.
3. Privacy Policy - Every e-commerce site needs a privacy policy!
4. FTC guidlines - The FTC has been regulating business advertising for almost a century. All of their advertising guidlines apply to e-commerce sites.
5. Domain Name issues? Is your name available. Can you create a Trademark?
6. Trademark - Do you have a brand name free from conflict? Should you start with just common law rights? Should you register the mark, and when?
7. Copyright - If it is on the web, it already belongs to somebody. Did you buy a license for the images you are using? Do you have a DMCA notice on your web site?
8. Do you need a DMCA policy?
9. Web Site security issues?
10. Do you need and have an EIN? You can get that for free.
11. Do you have employees? - If so you need written policies regarding their authority and use of the internet.
12. Do you know the difference between a "browser wrap" and a "click wrap" and which do you need?
When I discuss this list with clients other issues arise. Finally, I always discuss with my clients their need for good accounting services. An accountant's advice as you start up can save you many dollars in tax that you might not save if you wait to speak to an accountant until your first tax return is due.
I hope this list will give you pause to think about those issues for which you might need to seek professional advice.
You may want to discuss your situation with a lawyer in more detail. Most lawyers on Avvo, including myself, offer a free phone consultation.

Sorry about this answer, I went to copy my signature and got more than I meant to. I cannot edit the answer after posted, but the answer is for the asker until you get to the line "Are you Planning..."
I certainly commend you for doing the right thing here. You appear to be an intelligent, caring, young individual. I agree with my colleague, and suggest you speak to your parents about what is the right decision. But I would also suggest discussing this matter more in-depth.
I believe you have two options: ignore it or confront it.
If you are in fear of danger, you should confront it. Depending on how long this has been going on, it may be possible that he has "solicited sex from a minor over the internet" which is a felony.
If however, you want it to go away -- just keep blocking all contact, delete without even looking at any messages. If that does not work you can file a protection from stalking.
You are doing the right thing here, keep it up.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?

Cap'n 'Merica...F@%$ YEAH!!!!
Per my daughter: "HULK SMASH!"
My daughter's superhero s Rapunzel form Tangled.
My daughter's favorite superheros were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Go figure. So I don't answer for my imaginary children, just for the one who's all grown up now.
My daughter loves Hulk.
She-Ra! Princess of Power!
My niece (who I consider my own kid, thank you very much) is a huge Spiderman fan at 2 years old (cartoon version, of course). Her mom told me a story a few weeks back about how when she came to get my niece from her room, my niece shushed her.
When she asked why, my niece said "Because Hulk is sleeping!"
"Where?" her mom queried.
"In my bed!" was the reply.
Gotta love the imagination.

White Seamless Tutorial :: Part 2b :: Full Length With OneLight
I felt challenged today to see if I could shoot a full length portrait on a plain old white seamless background with a single battery powered light source. There is this thing I do with barebulb flashes that blows the background to white and I use an adjoining wall near the subject to catch light from the bare bulb to bounce back to light the subject's face. The problem with trying to do a full length with a single light source is dealing with the light stand getting in the way. Positioning it out of the frame is a pain. You say four letter "f" words (like film) trying to keep the light stand out of the way and lighting the walls and trying to keep light from the flash off of the
wall (edit – I mean subject).
The challenge I gave myself today was to shoot without a light stand. I figured I would try placing the bare bulb flash on the ground behind my client and use those bi-fold cutter doors as reflectors to catch the light from the flash and bounce it back to the front of the subject. I taped the Sunpak 120J and Pocket Wizard with white tape to further conceal the rig in case I was in the frame. The challenge was to not have to remove anything in Photoshop.Here is the taped rig…
Here is the result…
Not bad really. A little flare around the ankles that is giving me a color shift on the legs. I can live with that and "fix" it if needed. Better than trying to remove light stands from photos. Here's another shot with the same lighting scenario…
It was a slight PITA keeping separation of her light hair on the white BG. Just a hair of the "fill" slider in Lightroom helped bring the exposure of her face up. Here is wider shot showing a bit of the bi-fold doors acting as reflectors…
I was out of time so I didn't try the same scenario with the tile board. I'll try that another time.
There is another way of doing this with a single light source but you need more power than four double "A" batteries and a pretty dang large light source. I'll shoot one of those when I get back from my week teaching OneLight's in California.
Speaking of that, I have to be at the airport in seven hours. I'll be working on the next part of this seamless tutorial on the plane.
On a side note…
Fellow photographer and all around amazing guy, Troy Stains, stopped by today while we were shooting. I have to share this image I shot of him. He's pimp. This was part of our shooting for the OneLight DVD coming out this summer.
Continue Reading :: Part 3 :: From White To Black.
ETA – If you have questions about any of this, drop them in the comment section here on Part 5 of the tutorial. I will be following up on this tutorial with a new post answering all the questions at once.
Cheers, Zack
That's utterly sick
Pure genius, Zack! Thank you for sharing this!
Your Canadian Pal,
That "rider" pic is awesome – would you share the strobist info???
Great, great work here, Zack!!! Love all your stuff, wish you would do a OneLight WS in Germany as well;=)

I live down in Augusta and cant seem to find an outlet for the paper rolls. You got a source in Atlanta? I get up there a bit for business and I'll just haul it back.
Great stuff. I'm eating it up!!!
Wow, The power of just 1 flash. That is amazing. Are you having any workshops in the Grand Rapids Michigan area?
How about a tutorial on working with small spaces? poor me.
A dvd?! Bookmark me for one!
This is great info!
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Excellent work and tutorials. Keep it up…
email correction…
What did you use for the bi-fold doors?
These are awesome , which I found these months ago.
Really great tutorial! Do you have any suggestions on where to purchase 9′ rolls here in Atlanta at a decent price? The Wolf on Peidmont is going out of business and Showcase wants $70 a roll. Just curious to see where you get yours. Love your OneLight stuff also. Thanks for sharing!
Zack you are blowing me away!
Can you say where you placed the flash head? Is it from where you are kneeling. Must see if they sell tile board here in Perth.
WOW! I just found your site and blog. I am totally blown away at the way you deliver you tutorials, rants, gripes, debates, life stories……
This is one of the best blogs I have visited (period!)
An alternative to paper can also be (just have to try it) a roll of vinyl flooring. Just paint the back of this roll with flat white paint. Just try it and experiment. You may have to re-paint it ever few weeks
Thank you again for sharing these tutorials. I hope to attend one of your workshops soon.
The last photo on a bike. I take it that this is stopped down to make the background alot darker to empasize the subject also to put more emphasis on the overcast clouds? I'm guessing that the softbox is aimed at the subjects' head and higher than the subject? I extremely love your tutorials! and looking at some of the budget setup. I'm extremely inspired now. I'm using some of your techniques this sunday and ideas w/ your studio setup.
Zack, This is awesome! You are now my new mentor. As soon as the economy gives me permission to remove the ball-gag from my mouth, I'm signin' up for a workshop!
Really cool – we all love to drag around as little equipment as possible!
Dude, I can't believe I just found out about you yesterday. This tutorial rocks! I will buy your DVD on my next paid gig. Let me know when you are teaching in Southern California so I can sign up for a class.
If you poked a small hole on the backdrop at the level of the model's waist, wouldn't it be better and easier?
Hey Zack, stumbled on this tutorial today, and the text is proving helpful, but the images aren't working If you could fix the pics, so I can get the full experience, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks!

Weekend tip-off: Kansas and Missouri renew Border War
The starting five . . .
. . . is on the move
1. Moving out: No. 8 Kansas plays Saturday at No. 4 Missouri in what might be the Jayhawks' last visit to Columbia for the foreseeable future. Mizzou will be off to the Southeastern Conference, so the Tigers' faithful should be in high spirits for the prime-time (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET) showdown with their Border War rivals. But veteran Tyshawn Taylor is capable of running the KU offense in hostile territory. Mizzou F Ricardo Ratliffe has the nation's best field goal percentage (75.1%), but the Jayhawks' Thomas Robinson will test his range.
2. Moving slow: No. 20 Wisconsin is back to doing things the way coach Bo Ryan likes them done with stout defense and well-managed possessions. The Badgers will have to execute their game plan with few miscues Saturday (ESPN, 2 ET) as they host No. 3 Ohio State. Jordan Taylor, primarily a facilitator, is even more effective when his shots are falling. Buckeyes point man Aaron Craft, who dishes out five assists a game himself, will try to set a faster pace for his athletic teammates while staying under control.
3. Moving in: No. 24 Florida State took a while to break into the top 25 after suffering its sixth loss of the season Jan. 7, an ugly 20-point thrashing at Clemson. But the Seminoles haven't lost since, and their streak includes a memorable rout of North Carolina and a buzzer-beating upset at Duke. But after all that, they'll have to handle No. 18 Virginia on Saturday (check local listings) to stay ranked. The Cavaliers, despite a Jan. 22 setback against Virginia Tech on a horrible shooting night, have been a pleasant surprise in the ACC but could use a quality road win. UVa F Mike Scott will have to contend with Bernard James and FSU's powerful front court.
4. Moving along: No. 11 Florida looks to stay within a game of SEC leader and top-ranked Kentucky. But the Gators will have to scrap to protect their home floor Saturday (CBS, 1 ET) against Vanderbilt, which has been in its share of close contests. Unfortunately for the Commodores, three of their six losses have come in overtime. They're in need of a confidence boost after a loss at Arkansas. Some quick treys by John Jenkins would help, but the Gators have a lot of scoring options and a steady hand at the point with Erving Walker.
5. Moving up:Notre Dame's NCAA tournament prospects looked iffy at best Jan. 16 when a loss at Rutgers left the Fighting Irish at 11-8. But a three-game winning streak that included the dethroning of then-No. 1 Syracuse has them much closer to the right side of the bubble. They'll look to build the rèsumè Saturday (CBS, 1 ET) as they host No. 15 Marquette and dynamic duo Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder. The Irish needed to overcome the November loss of Tim Abromaitis to a knee injury with a committee scoring approach, but Jack Cooley's contributions on the boards have been a big help.
Under the radar
Stony Brook worked hard to claim first place in the America East last weekend with a big home win against Boston U. The Seawolves avoided the dreaded letdown and took care of winless Binghamton on Wednesday and head up the Hudson on Saturday to face Albany. The Great Danes will climb to within a game of first place if they protect their home court. Stony Brook is paced by three-point marksman Bryan Dougher. But Albany has Gerardo Suero, putting up 21.6 points a game.
Number of the week
62.3. Among the nation's top 10 scorers, only one also is in the top 10 in field goal accuracy in the latest NCAA stats. Not surprisingly, that is Creighton super sophomore Doug McDermott, who was connecting on 62.3% of his attempts (seventh in the country) while averaging 23.6 points (third) heading into Saturday's visit to Northern Iowa.

Massachusetts House Approves State Budget
The Massachusetts House of Representatives has approved a more than $36 billion state budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. The budget passed at about midnight Wednesday after three days of debate. The spending plan now moves to the Senate.
House Speaker Rober DeLeo says the budget was "balanced and fiscally prudent," but also contained what he called targeted spending increases in certain areas.
The budget contains no new taxes.

This is a discussion on Mosquitos Kill Two More in Texas within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; http://www.937thearrow.com/pages/wal...ticle=10360171 I think it is time to ban mosquitos. :-)...
I think it is time to ban mosquitos. :-)
Mosquitos killed over 600,000 people last year from malaria alone.. they are the deadliest of all animals
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
74% of mosquitoes use Glocks....
"One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation."
--Thomas B. Reed, American Attorney
Second Amendment -- Established December 15, 1791 and slowly eroded ever since What happened to "..... shall not be infringed."
Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.
A serious issue/subject. In a previous life (younger) I was a Inspector for the Health Department doing mosquito (Adies egypti) eradication . Out job was to go from house to house and inspect the perimeters for standing water, or containers holding water and the larvae. What we found was surprising. Nearly every house had some kind of container that was holding water and the larvae. If every homeowner would insure that no water is allowed to accumulate, the life cycle of the mosquito would be stopped. Very simple and quick fix.
I once read an article that accused the author of "Silent Spring" of being the greatest mass murder in history as the book led to the DDT ban, which incidentally, is the best mosquito pesticide. Since the ban malaria deaths have multiplied to tens of millions. Not making a political point here, but everything has consequences, both good and bad. I saw that the village president of Downers Grove IL (where I lived at one time) died of West Nile this week. This is a real problem.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
According to the WHO malaria deaths have decreased by 25% since 2000
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Since they have started spraying for mosquitoes with planes instead of trucks around here the problem has gotten alot better. Who would have thought spraying 100% of the county including all the river bottoms and swamps would cut down on mosquitoes. Lol
Well, as funny as that article sounded, maybe we shouldn't make lite of the matter?
It seems to me, people are getting so complacent and comfortable that with the current technologies, vaccines and pesticides, plague and pestilence is a thing of the past and can never return.
I beg to differ! It has happened numerous times in recorded human history, and the odds of it happening again are 100%, period! Don't be fooled.
With the advent of high speed travel, and anyone being able to reach anywhere in the world within 24 hours, disease presents a global pandemic. Any disease can pop up at any time including small pox, which is supposedly eradicated.
Hell, scientists can't even predict what strain of influenza virus will hit the U.S., much less if it will mutate.
After months of identification of the pandemic is identified and a vaccine is mass produced, tens and / or hundreds of millions of people will succumb to that particular pandemic.
Even in this modern day and age, we are not immune to a global (United States) mass extinction of the population for pestilence or the plague.
Man kind can not control the global population of rats, fleas, mosquito's, avian flue, pestilence or plague. A higher being is in charge of that. Man is not in charge of his destiny, someone more wise is. And that's a good thing!
I think, therefore I am...
<the Menace>
How many mosquitoes does it take to pull a trigger?
No, really, how many?
Hopefully Black Flies aren't a possible carrier, because they are the Maine State Bird. But really, I hope it doesn't make it this far North. Let's hope it can be quickly dealt with and minimal lives are lost.

School bus crash kills driver, hurts 9
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A bus driver died and nine students were injured Monday when a school bus went off a road and lodged in an embankment in northern New Mexico, authorities said Monday.
The driver died at the scene of the crash that investigators said might have been caused by a medical event.
The bus carrying nine elementary, middle and high school students crashed off State Road 111 near La Madera in Carson National Forest, Rio Arriba County sheriff's spokesman Jake Arnold said.
Two of the students who attend schools in the tiny, rural school district of Mesa Vista had broken bones.
The Office of the Medical Investigator will determine the cause of the driver's death, he said.
An 8-year-old suffered a broken back and a 16-year-old had a broken jaw, authorities said.

Thanks John! Is there anything similar for Input cells
(StandardForm)? Often, I prefer to enter math Input in 2D, and if I
enter a 2D Piecewise, and one or more lines of the Piecewise have
fractions and/or square roots, the font ends up being really tiny (for
me). So some similar setting for Input (StandardForm) to force the
font size to be the same regardless of position would be helpful to

John McCain: Cannibal?
I'm not a John McCain supporter. I knew him as one of my senators when I lived in Arizona, and I've come to know him as a presidential candidate in these last two elections. And as much of a beef as I might have with the man and his politics, I'm sure of this: John McCain is not a cannibal. Pretty sure. The American people might have cause for doubt about that claim, though, considering the March 3 episode of NBC's Medium.
The psychic-solves-crimes series, starring Patricia Arquette is set in Phoenix, AZ, and the episode in question – titled, ahem, "Aftertaste" - featured a storyline that centered on a former POW war hero turned respected senior Arizona senator who, as the plot developed, also turned out to be a murdering cannibal.
To be fair, the show sort of made the senator out not to be such a bad guy, you know, for a guy who at one time killed and ate a dying fellow soldier in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp. There was some lip service to "making the ultimate sacrifice," and later, equating murdering a blackmailer to being a "good soldier." But in the end, it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
But why model this particular character on John McCain? There's nothing to be gained in terms of story. While it's clear that it was meant to be based on McCain, the character in terms of plot didn't need to be a senator. He could easily have been a politically-active businessman in the Phoenix area, still have been a POW, still have done all those things, and not come near to suggesting a current presidential candidate.

There's no political upside, either. No one's going to watch this episode and think to themselves "Hrm. I was unaware of that worrisome side of John McCain. Perhaps I'll look further into the other, non-human-flesh-eating candidates." Squirel-eating ones, maybe. Or perhaps I'm giving too much credit to the American voting public. And it won't succeed on the reverse, either—even if McCain could rightly protest that this episode unfairly represented his dietary habits, there wasn't enough of an attack implicit within the portrayal to garner him any sympathy.
Law & Order began this "ripped from the headlines" type of storytelling, of course, so we could blame the whole thing on Dick Wolf, have him pilloried, and call it a day. But at least Wolf's many shows have something of a point to their ravishing of current events. Medium didn't do that, though perhaps they could have—maybe a commentary on the ravenous amorality of contemporary politics? In fact, Medium can't even be accused of cynically exploiting their McCain episode for ratings gain, because they failed to take a page from the Law & Order playbook and advertise the exploitation.
But perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe what that means is that someone in charge at NBC realized what, ahem, bad taste it was to suggest even fictionally that one of our current presidential candidates—someone who may be leading the nation in ten months—was some sort of POW Alferd Packer. That such a thing might be seen as irresponsible. That the intoxicating glow of television and the white, toothy smiles that inhabit it won't mask something uncomfortably close to Swiftboating. -- Teague Bohlen

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.
