Method of cleaning castings in lost wax casting process
Method of cleaning castings in lost wax casting process --There are three kinds of casting cleaning methods in lost wax casting process : mechanical method, physical method and chemical method.Mechanical method is the use of a variety of manual and motor tools or different types of mechanical equipment produced by the pressure, impact, shear, grinding and other forces acting on the casting, in order to achieve the purpose of cleaning.The physical method is to clean up the casting using arc, plasma, laser, ultrasonic wave and shock wave. The chemical method is sticky sand using hydrofluoric acid dissolved silica and salt solution electrolysis, remove small castings; also has the characteristics of cutting and cutting by oxidation of intense oxidation of some metals at high temperature.
In addition to the core and surface cleaning is divided into dry and wet method. Two kinds of dry cleaning method to clean the castings by mechanical devices. The device is simple, high production efficiency, has great adaptability and can effectively clean the surface of the core in addition to the advantages of different types of castings.The disadvantage is the operation of equipment, often flying dust and noise pollution of the environment. No wet cleaning dust, but by using water as medium, the casting surface is easy to rust. To produce a large number of sewage and cement with sand in the work process, bring the sand and water regeneration and sludge treatment and other issues.
Dry and wet cleaning are commonly used in production:①drump cleaning.The casting and ferroplasm together into a circular cylinder, when the drum rotates, rely on iron castings, star, waste sand between the impact and friction of the scavenging effect of casting sand and grinding, the surface of the casting, but also can remove part of burr.Medium and small sized castings of this kind of equipment for cleaning the shape is simple, with thick walls. ②The blasting. The use of high-speed movement of steel, iron balls, abrasive flow impact strength to clear the core, sticky sand, polished surface of casting .③hydroblasting.The high pressure water is injected into the treated castings from the spray nozzle through the pipe, and the core and the casting sand are removed by the kinetic energy and scouring action of the flow.Hydraulic cleaning is usually made consisting of steel and steel exposure to clean up the room is arranged at the bottom of the rotary table, the spray gun is installed on the side wall can move up and down and turn any part of the high-pressure water flow at the bottom surface of the casting except.Sometimes, in order to improve the efficiency of removing sand on the surface of castings, the abrasive sand such as quartz sand is introduced into the proper position of the spray gun to obtain high speed water sand flow.④Water blasting and sand cleaning.After pouring casting, casting cooling to a prescribed temperature hit the box, immediately be immersed in water in the pool, all the water into the gap in mold and metal contact with high temperature rapid vaporization of explosion shock wave can be attached to the sand casting and clearance.Water blasting sand cleaning method has the advantages of short operation time and high efficiency, and has been widely used in China's cast steel workshop. It is generally used to deal with the steel castings with simple shape with carbon content less than 0.35%.⑤electro-hydraulic cleaning.The use of special high-voltage discharge electrode in the water, a sand wet work shock waves. This method is easy to control, high efficiency and low energy consumption. But the process noise, nitric oxide and ozone, electromagnetic radiation X ray protection, high investment.

No Money Down on Chapter 13 Cases
For Qualified Wage Earners!
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy from $850
Phone and Video ConsultationsAvailable Today!
Another one bites the financial dust, this time it is the big name bookseller Borders. The company announced its decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week as its efforts to refinance its debts failed miserably.
When the company failed to persuade its creditors and publishers to convert payments owed into interest-bearing loans, Borders realized that it had to take drastic measures. This is in spite of the $550 million loan it will receive from GE Capital, as well as securing additional financing to support itself during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.
Year of declining profits and management turnover meant that the move for bankruptcy was not a surprise to its publishers. In a desperate attempt to keep some cash on hand Borders stopped paying its publishers altogether in December of last year and would miss another scheduled payment in January of this year. It is now up to the individual publishers whether they will continue to ship books to Borders.

Los Angeles
Think DTLA, Mid City, and west side. Nothing too fancy, but good vibe and great views. Whatcha' got?
Fun! I've lived in L.A. for almost 2 years now, and here are a few of my favorites so far:
Perch - It may be a little on the fancy side, but not anything out of the ordinary for Los Angeles. Plus, they have live music from jazz to DJ's into the night. Not to mention delicious cocktails, my favorites being the Lolita or Penicillin. Here's a shot I took from the last time I was there when the California Feet Warmers played. And yes, that is a washboard. :)
I also really enjoy the Upstairs Bar at the Ace Hotel for the atmosphere and views. One of my favorite venues to see a live show is the The Theatre at Ace Hotel, not only because it is truly a beautiful venue, but because I get to have a drink here before! With that being said, they also have free (sometimes you need to rsvp though) live music and cool events on the rooftop as well to check out. My favorite cocktail upstairs is the Wing Wing (because if has mezcal in it!).
High Rooftop Lounge at Hotel Erwin in Venice for sunset. Make a reservation for a table in advance if you want to be sure to have a seat. It's a great place to take out of town guests to impress, but the area around there can be a bit interesting with Venice boardwalk being so close.
I also love Moonshadows Malibu although not a rooftop, there is a great outside area right on the ocean. It's pretty amazing. Definitely a little bit more expensive, but I love stopping for apps and a nice buttery chard. Here is a picture I took last time I was there.Enjoy :) Excited to see the other answers here as well! -JG
Mentioned in this answer:
I have been to The Standard Downtown LA and really enjoyed my time there. I got a snobby vibe at first at the entrance and there was a $20 cover. But once inside I liked the vibe, the bartenders were friendly and poured generously. Also nice views from the roof and cool decor and pool up there.
Mentioned in this answer:
Two beachside bars to throw into the mix: At sunset, check out the High Rooftop Lounge at the Hotel Erwin in Venice, which has great views of the boardwalk and ocean. But if you want somewhere to go during the day, head to Hennessey's Tavern in Hermosa Beach. This one's a local favorite, and it's right above the Strand.
Mentioned in this answer:
There is a great rooftop bar at the Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica. Although not technically a rooftop, the The Penthouse located on the top of the The Huntley Hotel has a bar with amazing 360 degree views. Downtown the Takami Sushi & Robatahas amazing views and great sushi! Of course the Skybar and The Standard Downtown LA are old time favs. In the South bay there is a roof deck at the Shade Hotel for drinks and views too.
Mentioned in this answer:
My favorite rooftop bar in LA is Perch . Like Jillian said, it is a little on the fancy side, because it's LA, but not too fancy, and the vibe is laid back, the live music is really great, and the view is fantastic.

Oral cancer is a particularly deadly form of cancer because most times, detection occurs at a late stage. Oral cancer includes cancers of the mouth, tongue, throat, and lips. When detected early, oral cancer has an 80-90% survival rate and treatment tends to be less disfiguring. Though considered a relatively rare cancer, doctors diagnose 115 new cases of oral cancer each day and one person dies each hour from oral cancer.
Certain lifestyle behaviors increase your risk of oral cancer. Tobacco use and alcohol use are among the biggest causes. Exposure to HPV (human papilloma virus), a sexually transmitted virus, is another common cause. Around 7% of cases have no known cause and doctors attribute them to a genetic predisposition for oral cancer.
While oral cancer can occur at any age, it most commonly strikes in people over forty, but younger people receive diagnoses earlier than ever due to the prevalence of HPV in the younger population.
Your Dentist's Role
Your dentist is your first line of defense against oral cancer. At each preventative exam, your dentist should examine your mouth for any early signs of cancer or pre-cancerous lesions. If your dentist does not tell you that he or she is performing an oral cancer screening, ask to see if they offer one. This part of your exam is essential and may save your life.
When to Get an Oral Cancer Screening
Every patient should receive an oral cancer screening as part of their routine visit, but if you are over forty, have a history of tobacco or alcohol use, or if your family has a history of oral cancer, let your dentist know that you have one or more risk factors and they should remain extra cautious about any abnormal lesions they discover inside your mouth.

Our man in space
A new special edition of Time magazine lists Steve Squyres, Ph.D. '81, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy, among the 25 most influential people in space:
"Earth's invasion of Mars (sci-fi writers had it backwards) began with planetary flybys in the 1960s; then came the Viking 1 and 2 landers in 1976 and the Pathfinder mission, with the first Mars rover, Sojourner, in 1997. Today, Cornell University astronomer Steven Squyres is spearheading a new scientific offensive as principal scientist of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Rover's robot geologists Spirit and Opportunity landed in January 2004 and have sent back more than 100,000 full-color images of Martian terrain as well as microscopic images and detailed analyses of rocks and soil surfaces. Squyres has also been an aquanaut at NASA's underwater lab in Florida, helping to plan for manned space missions in extreme environments."

6 Key Takeaways From The 2018 IAB NewFronts
A typical American spends more than 15 hours a month watching nearly 250 videos
The IAB presented research findings as the NewFronts wrap up. Here, a celebration at the Oath event Tuesday. Getty
As the 2018 Digital Content NewFronts winds down–at least the East Coast version–the Interactive Advertising Bureau gathered publishers, brands, and media buyers at its Ad Lab this morning, and, over cold frittatas and think-cut bacon, hashed over some of the things we learned this week.
"It's increasingly clear that digital advertising is moving more and more to sight, sound and motion," said Randall Rothenberg, the IAB's Chief Executive Officer.
Here are 6 key takeaways from this morning's presentations, as well as the IAB's 2018 Digital Video Viewers and Brand Connection report:
- The typical American spends just over 15 hours per month watching nearly 250 videos, according to IAB research
- Digital budgets are allocating more to video every year, according to the IAB
- Mobile, in-app video engagement is growing, with a video click-through rate that is 56 percent higher than banner click through rates, according to research presented by Anne Frisbie, InMobi senior vice president of global brand & programmatic
- Advertising should be designed for the feed, not the couch, said Frank Maguire, head of market development at Sharethrough. He presented research that revealed most users usually have the sound off, unless they're home. In which case, 87 percent of users have the sound on, Maguire said
- More than 90 percent of videos are discovered by browsing a social media or content feed, Maguire said, while 8 percent come from search and 2 percent come from direct sharing, such as by email
- The findings of a poll presented by Tal Chalozin, co-founder and CTO of Innovid, said 52 percent of respondents said the biggest challenge facing the TV and video advertising industry was creating a better ad experience for users

Pearls of the Past – Excerpt
Corrie took a single step and everything stilled. A gust of swirling wind enveloped her, plastering her blouse to her body and tearing at the material of her slacks. A distinctive smell of salt-laden ozone and coconut oil captured her. A finger of acute recognition feathered every nerve ending in her entire body.
Lost in the moment of times past, all sound disappeared except for an eerie whistling filling the air. Sails of a pearling lugger screeching in the wind.
She knew this boat? She'd been here before? On this jetty?
Corrie stood rooted to the spot.
No! She had never been to this island.
She wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't, held by some mystical force.
Abruptly, she was free.
Taking a quick, staggering step to regain her balance, her hand clutched her stomach, her heart thumping somewhere in her throat. An unaccountable urge made her spin around in a complete circle to see if everything and everyone remained the same.
No one seemed to have noticed the strange whistling, or the wind. And there was no pearling lugger to be seen. No one was looking at her; even the young captain was back on the ferry.
Nothing had changed. Wharves lined with corrugated iron buildings, tall cranes for loading stores, fishing trawlers at anchor, this was no tourist island. It was the commercial heartbeat of the Torres Strait.
Corrie placed her hand against her forehead. She wasn't running a temperature. In fact, it felt uncommonly icy. That wasn't possible in this heat.
"Weird," was the only word she could find.
* * * *
Britt stood on the balcony, above where the company station wagon was now pulling to a stop.
Then a rock-hard fist slammed him in the middle of his chest. There below him, swinging her slender, shapely legs from the car, emerged the most fascinating, elegant female he had ever laid eyes on.
Medium height, almost overly slender, brown hair of an extraordinary shade, and an oval face of pure perfection, held and captured his every sense. The strangest feeling of recognition assailed him, knotting every muscle in his body. It prickled the back of his neck then lanced deep into his chest.
He knew her! He did!
Yet they had never met. Couldn't have.
The knowledge astounded him. He was sure he had never even seen her before this moment, but the recognition was unaccountably there—strong, disturbing, and deep. This was meant to happen!
He wrenched his gaze from the vision of loveliness to turn away, striding back inside to stand beside the large desk.

Whew, what a long week! After work I walked around our yard out back to see what I could see. My plumbago is thriving with little to no water, as usual.
The hardest working retiree has been busy this week. He spent an entire day cleaning the house (thanks sweetie!) and today he spent all day tilling and planting his garden out in the way back. Tomatoes, basil, chives, parsley, dill… and zinnies! Can't wait.
Then I surveyed the trees out back. One day there's no leaves. The next day they are covered in green.
At the base of this red oak I saw something I've never seen. Neon green golf ball sized balls growing on the branches. Very odd. Google tells me they are a sign of oak apple gall. Home to the apple gall wasp larvae till it hatches. Learn something new every day!
Enjoy your weekend!

Virginia drug defense lawyer Jon Katz knows that federal enforcement agencies, physicians, and the criminal law have a stranglehold on what is and is not legal when it comes to drugs, manufacturing and dispensing, and use.
How can you protect yourself against the criminal drug laws? As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, Jon Katz knows that if you are in a car with someone possessing drugs or other contraband, at a concert next to people smoking marijuana, or a housemate with someone possessing illegal drugs, you are yourself at risk of prosecution and conviction.
In any event, here are important approaches to defending yourself from the outset against drug charges: Your car is a moving target allowing police to stop you under the pretext of an actual traffic law violation to investigate more serious law violations, including violations of the drug laws; so beware driving with defective equipment, violating the moving violation laws, and being in a car with anyone you do not know and trust. Remember your right to refuse to talk with the police and to refuse all searches. Beware that other occupants in a car might toss their contraband as far away from them as possible, and right into your actual or proverbial lap, whenever police stop a vehicle.
Remember that even if the police have a warrant to search your home, place of business or property, you have no obligation to assist their search. Beware admitting to police whether you own the subject real estate or personal property or which room you occupy, and beware showing police any safes or computers and divulging any lock combinations or computer passwords. Silence is golden when an actual or potential police suspect. Also, ask police if you are free to leave when they arrive to execute a search warrant. If you stay when free to leave, expect police to be observing whether you are nervous or are looking in the direction of possible contraband.
A key part for Fairfax drug lawyer Jon Katz in defending against drug and other criminal charges is to challenge the legality of the search and seizure in the first place. Also critical is challenging whether the substance can be proven to be contraband and to be the substance that is claimed in the criminal charging document. Additionally, culpability for possessing (whether individual or joint possession) illegal drugs and other contraband requires proof that the defendant had knowledge, dominion, and control over the alleged contraband.
For prescription medicines, beware carrying the medicine outside of the container that it originally came in, and beware carrying the medicine without proof of your prescription. By the same token, if police find prescription drugs on you without the prescription proof and you remain silent at all times, that makes it all the harder for the prosecution to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Beware mandatory minimum sentencing not only in drug cases but also in DWI cases and a whole host of other cases. Beware federal and state laws and court practices that result in no bail or astronomical bail pending sentencing.
Beware the often cat-and-mouse game involved in law enforcement efforts against allegedly illegal controlled substance analogues (for instance imitation drugs or substances that mimic unlawful drugs) as manufacturers of such substances make efforts to change the ingredients of such products to try to avoid convictions, with varying levels of success. Once again, the prosecution has the burden to prove all criminal cases beyond a reasonable doubt, and a whole host of defenses can be available against prosecutions for allegedly unlawful synthetic drugs.
Unless the drug is marijuana – with which plenty of people do not see as too harmful to society – beware that a large percentage of judges and jurors will not be sympathetic to drug crimes involving other Schedule I and II drugs. The key is to find a way to win in the first place, and to work hard to minimize sentencing exposure in the event of a drug conviction.
The federal and state governments annually pour billions of dollars into the failed generations-long drug war that stretch government budgets, jails and prisons to the breaking point, and make otherwise law-abiding citizens victims of the nation's draconian drug laws, even for relaxing at home with a marijuana cigarette or snort of cocaine rather than opting for the legal drug option of beer or other alcohol.
With the madness of the politics of this drug war come the casualties of the almost countless victims caught in the war, not only those who have committed crimes of drug possession, distribution and manufacturing, but also innocent people caught in dragnet arrests and terrorized by police home searches often intentionally executed when household members are sleeping and less likely to react with violence to the search.
Fairfax criminal lawyer/ Virginia drug attorney Jonathan L. Katz has successfully defended hundreds of clients charged with drug offenses, since 1991, including cocaine (powder and crack), marijuana, LSD (acid), heroin, MDMA (ecstasy), oxycodone, xanax, Adderall, and PCP.

Here's a new YouTube video from Scott Grove on CNC and craftsmanship, using his Handibot to cut bowtie keys as his example
Here's a new YouTube video from Scott Grove on CNC and craftsmanship, using his Handibot to cut bowtie keys as his example
CNC is just a tool to use, or not, as one sees fit. I do alot of things "by hand" but of course, tools are used unless I am to gnaw the wood with my nails and teeth. So I am not sure [and don't really care] what cutoff the purists have, I suppose maybe no power ?
I know this oddball character purist type by my summer camper, sometimes when I am bored at night I go wandering around and he usually has a little crowd at his firepit. Somehow CNC came up and this guy thinks he is gods gift to woodworkers, his whole trailer is festooned with **** he has made, and I do mean ****. I ca s#$t out a better work of art than he'll ever make, but I never said anything to him about it and I don't begrudge a man to do whatever he wants to get enjoyment out of making things. Anyhow when he started trashing CNC "Oh yeah, any stupid kid can make things with a machine", I felt obliged to defend myself, as his comments were obviously aimed to me. Long and short, I said Ok, I have some things I have made at my trailer, I'll bring some by and let these people be the judge.
So I went back and got a few things and the firepit folks were blown away, especially the ladies. I even ended up selling one of the spot for $50, chick fell in love with it and wouldn't let it go, her dad was there and bought it for her. So the guy was humiliated and didn't say much more after that, hopefully learned a lesson but I doubt it. Yes of course, there are guys who make stunning works of art "by hand" and do all sorts of things, I am a journeyman union carpenter and know a fair share of master carpenters whos skill level with wood I will never aspire to, but there is room enough for everyone to do as they please is the way I see it. Those who don't at least partially adapt to technology eventually end up missing out in one way or the other.
Watched the new video. Suddenly, He's gone from accusing those of us with CNC's of being dishonest:"Is your craftsman lying to you" to declaring himself a very clever guy who knows how to make money now that he's discovered the CNC. Couldn't continue watching once I heard that self-congratulatory introduction. Never mind the fact that these inlays have been done to distraction for years now, with pre-fab templates, guide collars and routers, (all produced with machines, including gasp CNCS) available from any purveyor of woodworking supplies, and we all know it.
Hardly "hand work".
Hardly original.
I've lost a lot of respect for him in lite of this chameleon-like arrogance.
(Yeah, I know - I'm likely just jealous, and I know, he's just working at keeping a career going, like the rest of us)
Honestly, for my clients, I've received nothing but a vote of confidence once the fact is disclosed that I use a CNC. It's usually read by them as an indicator that I am serious about the business, and committed to getting their job done efficiently, safely, and with the highest level of accuracy.
Moreover, it's seems most clients realize it is not simply a push-button cookie cutter, or they'd be standing at the Lowes "custom" cabinet counter. Thankfully, it appears good sense may, in reality, be quite common indeed.
The machine can truly be an extension of the craftsman's creativity, not simply a key to looking smart and making more money.
Good grief, Mr. Grove. Think before you pontificate.
In closing, I'll extend my forgiveness, and welcome him into the world of digital fabrication. It's pretty dang awesome in here!!!
I think you can apply that argument to many many trades. I've been a sign shop owner for decades. I started out hand lettering. Then computers came along and I started punching paper pounce patterns with a plotter. Didn't take long and I passed on paint altogether and started cutting vinyl letters and graphics.
About 100 years ago, lol, well almost another lifetime anyway, I airbrushed murals on conversion vans (1970's). Today I print wrap graphics on a large format printer. Then there are even purists within the wrapping community, that say if you use the new ''air egress vinyl'' that makes it much easier to apply bubble free wraps, you're cheating. Because a real wrapper should be able to apply a wrap without that crutch.
Anywhere technology has advanced a trade, there will always be the old school guys that don't want to change. My philosophy is, if I can do the job faster and better with modern tools, I'll do it. After all, the finished job will be admired long after the technique, and the artist for that matter, is forgotten.
I have had my Bot for 12 years now and I have produced some amazing things because of the machine and of course the great Vectric software. For pure inspiration though I have a fun site that I check into once or twice a month. It's a site were 'things' to do are posted by Matthias. He uses a band saw a lot. He uses a table saw a lot. He has plans for building a band saw (from wood). He designs marble machines, rubber band Lego guns, some really fun stuff. I have made four or five of his jigs. He does a lot by hand. He does a lot by machine. He shares all of his ideas with us. Is CNC cheating, not one bit when used like he does. Russ

Whether you're a hobbyist or a pro, getting perfect focus for your photos is one of the most important parts of photography. There's a lot to know about getting sharp pictures though, and sometimes it's confusing to know what to focus on (pun intended…ha ha) if your images do not appear to be sharp or in focus. This post will give you a better understanding of how focus works and what you can do to improve the focus in your images.
First, the basics.
Autofocus vs. manual focus.
Modern DSLRs all have the ability to autofocus. This means that they will automatically pick on a specific point or area chosen by either you or the camera. The autofocus systems in DSLRs are getting more and more advanced and are quite accurate. Most cameras have focus motors for autofocus built into the camera. However, some do not, and require that the lens has a focus motor in order to autofocus. Be sure to understand whether your camera autofocuses via the body or the lens so you know which lenses are appropriate for your camera if you want to be able to autofocus.
Even though DSLRs have very good autofocus systems, you still are able to manually adjust your lenses. This means that you are controlling the focus of the lens vs. the camera focusing the lens. Note that manual focus is not the same as shooting in manual mode. You can shoot in manual mode and use autofocus. You can also shoot in modes other than manual and manually focus your lens. Switching a lens from auto to manual is easy. It is nearly always done via a small switch on the lens body, usually indicating "AF" and "MF", as pictured below. There are some lenses that even allow you to manually fine-tune while the lens is set to autofocus; this is called autofocus override. If you are not sure whether your lens can do this, check its specifications.
Should I even use manual focus?
This is a good question. Autofocus systems are very good, so when and why should you choose to do things manually? For the most part, autofocus is the way to go. It's fast and accurate. Also, modern DSLR focus screens are not built to handle manual focusing like the focus screens in old manual-focus film cameras were. It is extremely hard to manually focus DSLRs at wide apertures because their focus screens are not made for this purpose. That said, there are times when you will want or need to use manual focus. Some lenses are manual focus only, so your only choice will be manually focusing such a lens. There are modern lenses that are manual focus only and there are also older lenses which can be fitted onto modern cameras that will need to be manually focused. Another situation where manual focus comes in very handy is shooting macro. Macro photography is a very precise discipline and the photos tend to have a very thin depth of field. This can sometimes confuse the autofocus system, or autofocus may not land precisely where you want, so you may be better off manually focusing to get a shot you want with the focus where you want it.
There are lots of focus points. How should I use them?
Your DSLR has lots of focus points. Maybe even lots and lots! The most important thing is to use them all. Not necessarily at the same time, but you should rely on all your focus points to get perfect focus…so use them!
So what are the best ways to use them?
Above all, choose your focus point(s). Don't let the camera choose them for you! I repeat, choose your focus point! When the camera chooses your focus point for you, it's just taking a wild guess as to where it thinks the focus should be. Something in the photo will be in focus….but it might not be what you want. Check out the example shots below. In this first photo, I chose my single focus point so that the lily would be in focus.
Now look at the next photo. Everything in the next photo is the same as the first one: lens, settings, my position. The only thing I changed was that I changed the focus point selection from single point to having the camera select the focus point. As you can see, my intended lily is no longer in focus but a flower towards the middle has now become the focus point. This is what the camera randomly chose.
Should I use single point? Multiple points? I'm so confused!
I don't blame you. There are sometimes an overwhelming number of configurations of focus points on our cameras, and it's hard to know which one to choose. Some cameras have less focus point configurations than others, but most all have at least the ability to choose one single point and also a somewhat larger group of points. Single point focus can be used for a lot of photo types. It's king for portraits. Put the focus point on the eye of a single subject, or focus 1/3 way into a group of people with a single point. Use it for landscapes and put your focus just where you want it. You can even use it for sports if you're good at tracking subjects. Note that when you use single point focus, it can be ANY single point, not just the center point. Using multiple points can be helpful when shooting sports with fast moving subjects who are somewhat far away and are hard to track and keep under one single point. If your camera has a more advanced autofocus system you may have multiple options when it comes to using more than one focus point at a time. Take the time to understand what each one does so you can use them to their fullest. Multiple point focus is not really one to use when shooting single or group portraits. But if you are taking a portrait of some sort using this mode, keep this in mind: there are times when you have multiple points enabled that it may look like there are focus points on several people's faces. This does NOT necessarily mean that each person will be in focus. Even though the camera is showing multiple focus points, it's actually only picking one of those points, the point with the most detectable contrast, to focus on. Be sure that your depth of field is wide enough to fit your entire group.
What are the autofocus drive modes about?
These modes govern how the focus motor in the lens/camera performs. Depending on your camera brand, the modes will have different names. Single shot/AF-S mode means that the focus motor comes on just once when you use your shutter button or back button to focus. It does not keep running. Focus is in this single place until the camera refocuses with another half press of the shutter button or press of the back button. This mode is great for portraits and landscapes. AI Servo/AF-C mode means that the focus motor continues to run while focus is tracked on a moving subject. In this mode, the shutter button or back button is kept pressed while tracking the subject in order to keep the focus motor running. This mode is great for any subject that moves (sports, animals, children on the move). It is not generally used for portraits.
What is toggling my focus points about? How about focus and recompose?
Toggling your focus points means that you are choosing your focus point yourself and you are moving, or "toggling" that point around until you pick the point that is over your intended area of focus. Today's cameras are made for toggling! There are so many focus points in them…use them! Toggle away!
Focus and recompose is a method where you lock focus on a subject (usually, but not always, using the center point), then keep the shutter button half-pressed while you recompose the shot to place the subjects where you wish. Then you take the photo. In theory, focus should stay locked on where you initially placed it. However, this method can sometimes become problematic, especially when you're using wide apertures with very thin focal planes. Focus is on a plane…think of a piece of glass that extends up and down and side to side infinitely, but its thickness depends on several factors, including aperture. When your aperture is very wide, that "piece of glass" is very, very thin. Recomposing can cause the focal plane to shift (think of moving that thin piece of glass slightly), and that can cause your intended focus point to shift. Both photos below were taken with the same settings. The focal length was 85mm, and the aperture was 1.4. The first shot was taken by toggling my focus point to my subject's eye. His eyes are in sharp focus. In the second photo, I focused and recomposed. In that photo, his eyebrows are in sharp focus but his eyes are fuzzy. My focal plane, which is very thin at 1.4, was shifted when I recomposed.
Sometimes it is necessary to focus and recompose. I occasionally take photos where my subject is somewhere outside the range of where my camera's focus points reach. So, I will focus and recompose in those situations. If doing so, it's just important to try as hard as possible to not move your focal plane, and if possible, use a somewhat narrower aperture which will help.
My photos aren't in focus. What should I do?
There could be a number of reasons why your photos are not in focus. Try to troubleshoot using the following list:
- Your depth of field with the aperture you're using is too thin to get everything you wanted in focus.
- Your camera is choosing your focus point and is not putting it where you want it.
- You are trying to focus on something closer than your lens' minimum focus distance (all lenses have a minimum focus distance. In general, except with macro lenses, the longer the focal distance, the farther away the minimum focus distance. Some lenses have it marked on the lens barrel. If not, you can check online or in your lens' manual for this information.)
- Your shutter speed is too slow, causing motion blur
- You were shooting in very low light and it was difficult for your camera to lock focus.
- You may have the autofocus drive mode set incorrectly (i.e. using single shot on a moving subject, or using Servo/continuous focus on a still subject. Both of these can cause blur.)
- You are shooting on a tripod and have IS/VR on. This function should be switched off when the lens is on a tripod.
- Your lens has a true autofocus issue. Often this is just a slight issue where the lens is focusing a bit in front of or in back of where you would like it to focus. To test that it is the lens, you should put your lens on a tripod and take photos of something such as a ruler to see if your focus falls where you intend. You can also find charts online to test focus. If you find your lens' focus is off, you can perform adjustments yourself if your camera has autofocus microadjustment or fine tuning options. If your camera does not have this option, you will need to either send the camera to the manufacturer or bring it to a camera shop to have the adjustment done. If the issue is that the autofocus on the camera is actually damaged or broken, this would need to be corrected by the manufacturer or a camera repair shop and would not be able to be corrected by micro adjustment.
Now go out there and get those sharp images you've always wanted!

Very informative post 🙂
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "focusing 1/3 way into a group". Could you explain this? So for group shots (2 or more people?) single point should be used?
Karen: I mean that your focus point should be approximately 1/3 of the way into the group, front to back. Say you have six rows of people…focus on someone in the second row as that would be 1/3 way in. Yes, single point would be used for group shots.
Thank you for this post, very helpful! I'm a hobbiest still learning how to profect my craft. I recently shot a reception for a family member, I had a lot of trouble locking my focus and getting my camera to fire in the low light but I was using a speed light with a softbox so once I did lock focus and fired my photos were properly exposed. How do I properly lock my focus in low light so that my camera will fire so that I will have sharp photos every time and not miss key shots? Thanks!
What about back button focusing? How does that come into play? Just learning it and it seems confusing!
Rachel: Locking focus in low light has to do with a few things. It can be a factor of the camera body itself; some are very good at locking focus in low light (especially with the center focus point) while others aren't. There are also lenses that have issues locking focus in low light. One thing that can help when you are using a flash is if your flash has a focus assist beam, which will help the camera realize where it needs to focus. Not sure if your flash has this or not; if it does, it sounds like it may not be enabled. Marla: I actually wrote another article for MCP about back button focusing that was published not long after this article. If you search the blog you will find it.
So I have always used BBF and I recently upgrade from Mark II to III. My first two photo shoots I have not been getting my crisp shots that i normally capture. I am struggling with my focal points settings. any advice? Should I calibrate my lens? Any advice is appreciated.
Amy-So I have always used BBF and I recently upgrade from Mark II to III. My first two photo shoots I have not been getting my crisp shots that i normally capture. I am struggling with my focal points settings. any advice? Should I calibrate my lens? Any advice is appreciated.
Hi Christy, I have a 5D Mark III as well and get sharp photos. A few questions: is this happening with all your lenses? What focus point setup are you using and what focus mode? Are you seeing that focus is falling in front of or behind your subjects or that the photo is just soft in general? I use one shot mode with one focus point that I toggle to where I need it for portraits and anything that doesn't move. For moving things (like sports) I use AI Servo and will often use one of the expansion modes (usually single point with 4 expansion points). You can test your lenses to see if they may need to be calibrated and if so it's very easy to do on the Mark III.
How can I focus on any subject using my focus points in the view finder ? It is soo difficult for me to blur foreground and background both in portraits?

text: The Mark I Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It replaced the successful, long-running Anglia. The simple but effective Mark1 – in all its variations – might not be so readily available today, but its many successes on track and stage mean it's still hot property. Featuring light and stiff two-door bodyshells, Escort Mark1's had the genes for both competitive circuit racing and rallying. The 1966 BSCC champion John Fitzpatrick stated that "The Anglia had been a great little car but it wasn't really quick enough; other cars had closed the gap. The Escort was a step forward, no question. It had a wider track, it handled beautifully and in time we were quick enough to beat the Capris." This particular race car was developed and raced by well-known classic car enthusiast and racing driver, Alan Green. Alan was more than competitive with 1:14's at Zwarkops Raceway suggesting that this is one very quick historic race car. The car is race ready with widened rear arches, limited slip differential, straight cut gearbox and a highly specified and freshly built 2-litre Pinto engine.

Treatments you didn't know about...
At Woodlands, we pride ourselves on being a "hub" for all things beauty; whether you want your nails painted, an amazing massage or something to keep wrinkles at bay, we've got it all! However, sometimes we wonder if our clients know just how many treatments are actually available, and what they all do. We know that you're familiar with Shellac, spray tanning and waxing. You may even have know about Botox and lip enhancement. But what about those lesser-known, slightly more "unusual" treatments? We thought we'd put together a run down of some of the less common procedures we've got on offer, to make sure that you're not missing out on any of them!
Sclerotherapy, or microsclerotherapy, is a medical treatment for targeting those annoying little thread veins that sometimes appear on the legs. Using a very fine needle, we inject a special sclerosing agent directly into the blood vessel itself, which causes the vessel to break down and disappear. Patients generally require a course of treatments in order to ensure that the thread veins are completely gone. The number of treatments required will vary depending on how many thread veins there are.
This is an injectable skin treatment designed to improve skin laxity. Profhilo contains hyaluronic acid, which is an ingredient found in many dermal fillers, however it is not actually a dermal filler and instead hydrates the skin while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. It is a great treatment to use in areas that are normally difficult to treat, such as the hands, neck, temples and forehead. For best results, we recommend two treatment sessions, with an interval of one month between them. Results can last up to six months.
DesoFace and DesoBody are two specially formulated products for fat reduction. They contain deoxycholic acid, which breaks down fat cells, and they are injected directly into the area of concern. Intralipotherapy is especially effective on those stubborn pockets of fat that just won't seem to shift, regardless of diet and exercise. Results are visible from the first treatment, but a number of treatments is recommended. We have seen amazing results with this treatment and have used it to improve the appearance of double chins, stomachs, buttocks, upper arms and thighs.
Venus Freeze Plus
Our newest treatment at Woodlands, Venus Freeze Plus is an innovative new machine for skin tightening. It uses a combination of Multi Polar Radiofrequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to gently heat the deeper layer of the skin. By heating the skin at a deeper layer, we stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, which plump and tighten the skin. The machine is specially designed to ensure that the skin is heated at a uniformly and also uses a special sensor to carefully monitor the temperature of the patient's skin, which ensures that they remain comfortable at all times. Venus Freeze Plus can dramatically improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face, as well as sagging skin all over the body, including common problem areas such as the arms, stomach and knees. A course of approximately 6-8 treatments is recommended.
One of the most difficult areas to treat without surgery, is the eye area. As we age, the skin around the eyes often sags and droops, with many people resorting to blepharoplasty, or an "eye lift", where the excess sagging skin is literally cut away.
At Woodlands, the Plasma treatment is a great alternative to the invasive blepharoplasty surgery. It uses a small pen-like device, with a fine probe which sublimates the skin. When the skin is sublimated, it contracts, which results in much tighter skin around the eye area. Plasma can also be used to target skin lesions, scarring and fine lines and wrinkles, such as those around the lower face and lips. There is some downtime associated with a Plasma treatment, as the skin can swell and is also left covered in tiny brown dots, which usually heal after a few days. Patients will see an improvement after one session, but depending on the condition of the area being treated, more than one Plasma procedure may be required.

What is a hosting team?
A hosting team may be a business or team of people that manages places to stay on behalf of the owner or renter. Depending on which services they provide, a hosting team may manage the listing and reservations online, by setting pricing or messaging guests, for example. The team may also manage the offline experience by meeting guests at check-in or scheduling property maintenance. If you're interested in using a hosting team, we can match you with a team with whom we've partnered. Learn more about hosting services in your area.
Anyone who has a listing on Airbnb can invite their existing hosting team to access and manage their listings on Airbnb on their behalf.
Services a hosting team may provide
Depending on the hosting services the team offers, here are some ways a hosting team may help manage your listing:
- Get the space guest-ready. A hosting team may arrange for new photography and suggest changes to make the place ready for guests.
- Manage listing details, pricing, and the calendar. Hosting teams can review and edit listing descriptions, photos, nightly price, and availability. They can also add things like seasonal pricing and weekly discounts.
- Message and review guests. A hosting team can message guests using their own Airbnb account, and will appear to the guest as a named member of the hosting team. When a hosting team writes a review, guests are shown the listing owner's name as the author. If guests have an issue during their stay, the hosting team can communicate with them and fix the problem.
- Manage reservations. A hosting team can manage the listing owner's reservation settings and accept or decline reservation requests.
- Welcome guests in person. Members of a hosting team can greet guests in person, give them a tour of the space, and answer questions about the place and neighbourhood.
- Provide cleaning and maintenance. A hosting team can arrange cleaning and maintenance services for the place.
- Get help from Airbnb. If there's an issue with a reservation or guest, a hosting team can contact Airbnb to work on a resolution. However, hosting teams can't open or manage Resolution Centre requests.
Listing owner access and permissions
When you share a listing with a hosting team, you retain some control over who has access to your listing and info:
- Manage taxpayer and payout info. No one else is shown your taxpayer and payout details.
- Deactivate your listing. Only you can deactivate your listing to permanently remove it from search.
- Add and remove hosting team access to your listing. You can remove access to your listing at any time. We recommend checking with your hosting team before taking this action.

\Walter H. Papstein, 78, passed away on Saturday morning, June 23, 2018, at the Concord VNA Hospice House in Concord, NH, after a period of failing health.
Walt was born on Feb. 6, 1940, in Yonkers, NY, a son to the late Hugo and Victoria (Giray) Papstein, Sr. He was raised in Westport, Conn., and was a 1958 graduate of Staples High School in Westport.
His career began as a customer service representative for Northeast Utilities in Connecticut, the company from which he retired after 38 years of dedicated service. At that time, he and his family moved to their 'farm' on Meriden Hill in 1996. Walt loved to be working around his home, with time spent on his tractor, working the land, and he loved to be out hiking or fishing. A gentle soul, he was also an animal lover. Walt cherished time spent with his granddaughters, especially playing cards.
Walt was a faithful communicant of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Susan (Horosky) Papstein of Columbia; his three children, Steven (Kathleen) Papstein of Wilton, Conn., William (Jacalyn) Papstein of Westport, Conn., and Melinda (Bryan) Williams of Westport; his twin sister, Barbara Schomburg of Columbia; a brother, Hugo Papstein of Eureka, Calif.; three granddaughters, Kelsey R. Papstein of Denver, Colo., Madalyn Papstein of Boston, Mass., and Evelyn Papstein of Westport; as well as nieces and nephews.
There are no public calling hours. A memorial Mass will be held at the Sacred Heart Church in North Stratford on Saturday, July 14, 2018, at 11 a.m., with The Rev. Daniel Deveau as celebrant.
Interment was held on August 04, 2018 here in Willowbrook Cemetery, Westport.
Expressions of sympathy in memory of Mr. Papstein may be made to the St. Marguerite d'Youville Parish, for the benefit of Sacred Heart Church, 11 State St., Groveton, NH 03582; or to the North Country Community Recreation Center, 33 Rec Center Rd., Colebrook, NH 03576.

A big offensive shakeup appears to be in the offing for Minnesota heading into Week 7.
On its depth chart released Tuesday ahead of Saturday's game against Maryland, starting quarterback Mitch Leidner is listed as out for the Big Ten matchup. The nature of the injury that will keep the starting quarterback out was not detailed.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes that "[o]n Sunday, when asked about Leidner's health, Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said the senior quarterback was not banged up" although "Claeys had yet to meet with his team's medical staff when he made that comment."
If Leidner is unable to go, Conor Rhoda would get the start under center. The former walk-on has attempted two passes in hs collegiate career, and would be making his first collegiate start.
In a tweet, though, the football program noted that the depth chart is "[s]ubject to change prior to the game," leaving the door open for Leidner to play against the Terps.
Leidner has started 34 games in his Gophers career, including a streak of 27 in a row that could come to an end this weekend. His 120.1 pass efficiency this season is currently 90th nationally.

When bins get damaged you need a reliable partner to help you deal with your wheelie bin recycling. Look no further, Aylesbury Granulation Services would be happy to help.
We have worked with, and still do work with, a number of District Councils, skip hire companies and waste management companies with their wheelie bin recycling.
How does wheelie bin recycling work?
The bins come to our site ready prepared for recycling (for more information on this, read on). The amount of work prior to granulation depends entirely upon their size. For example, anything up to and including a 240-litre wheelie bin can go straight into our granulator. Anything larger than that, so, for example, an 1100 commercial bin, will need to be cut into more manageable pieces.
The bin is fed into our granulator, which is capable of processing around one tonne per hour, and the knives and blades cut the bins into tiny pieces which are 10mm big. This is called regrind. We sell the regrind and it will be made back into new plastic products – very often new wheelie bins.
Do you get paid for wheelie bin recycling?
Yes – wheelie bin plastic is an industry grade by itself we are always very happy to let you know what the current rebate rate is for end-of-life wheelie bin recycling.
Our rebate rate (as is the industry norm) is based upon a delivered in price. However, if you do not have transport yourself, we are always happy to arrange transport for you at cost.
On an average articulated lorry (curtain-sider) you should expect to have a payload of around 4 tonnes, and this is how most wheelie bins are delivered in to us.
Once we have finished processing the waste plastic we weigh each and every bag of regrind. We forward these weights to you on a rebate statement, which therefore indicates how much you need to invoice us for. Standard payment terms are 30 days.
What do we need from you?
The most important thing to understand is that contaminates mean that plastic is not recyclable.
For effective wheelie bin recycling, the bins need to be empty and (relatively) clean. By this we mean that they need to have no residual waste or "bin juice" in them. They do not have to be washed.
The bins also need to be metal free. This includes all screws, lifting pins, locks, rivets, hinges, chains, wheels and axles (although in a stack of bins it is acceptable to leave feet on the bottom bin). If there are any additional rubber seals or strips these also need removing.
If we can help you in any way then please do not hesitate to contact us and let's discuss this further.
