I need a one-lens solution for my photo needs on high speed Corvette Races. Will 35-350L do?

I need one lens to carry on my 1D during long road rallies with the Corvette Race club. Would the 35-350L be a good canditate?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You have a 1D ? Or do you have a later 1 D seires camera?
I have used and still use a 1D. It would not be my first choice, or 2nd, or 3rd, for motorsports shooting with whatever lens.
At 4MP you are going to be really handicaped in any sort of enlargements.
The 1D is a fantastic camera and at one time the best camera in the world with a, at the time, insane price of around 8 grand.
If you do indeed have a 1D, I would search for a later 1 series and the best buy right now is a 1D Mk III.
Than the addition of the EF 35-350mm f3.5-5.6, or better yet the EF 28-350mm f3.5-5.6 should work well.
With a lot of practice as suggested above.
EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,

Does any one implemented solution for httpservlet request/response object in IWSDLInterceptor implemented class?

I am trying to handle Producer not available situation in which I am using Interceptor IWSDLInterceptor in WLP 10.3.4. I am able to retrieve exception using onWSDLException but from here if I have to forward my pageURL object I need httpservlet request and response. I tried my own filter class to have its own customize request and also tried it out all other Interceptor to see if any one can handle IOException. I did manage to throw my own Customize exception but that also did not work out as Page does not have any backing file or any supportive Controller class.
Does any one implemented solution for httpservlet request/response object in IWSDLInterceptor implemented class? or do we have any specific documentation in regards to this? As I am not able to find much martial on IWSDLInterceptor except Java API from Oracle and article defining Two way SSL handshake Producer.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Emmanuel for your response but render behavior is not available for IWSDLRequestContext/IWDSLResponseContext object which IWSDLInterceptor uses for implementation.
Let me put my question in little simpler manner. May be my approach to the problem is not proper.
Problem : Handle Producer Not available (no application exists on server) on consumer side.
So far tried approach : Producer is not running then I am able to handle that TransportException at IInitCookieInterceptor/IHandleEventInterceptor onFault behaviour but in the case of Producer not even exists Consumer try to get WSDL fetch operation and failed with FileNotFoundException.
To handle this exception, I used IWSDLInterceptor which is available under IWSDLInterceptor.OnWSDLException (Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API for Oracle WebLogic Portal)
I am able to catch the exception but problem arise when application needs to forward at specific page/render portlet for this situation. For that it required request/response object but IWSDLInterceptor does not give any kind of instances to redirect request as there is no direct access to HTTPServlet request/response object.
I tried my custom request object to use there. I tried out custom filter object of IWSDLrequestContext. nothing works.
One approach works is to put producer WSDL file at consumer level. But in that, you need to handle different producer files for different environment. Which I don't think its a good approach.
eAny one Let me know if my approach to the problem/scenario is wrong. Or if I am missing out any other supporting interface which also required to handle this scenario. or I am using wrong interface for this scenario.
Thanks for your help in advance.

We need to implement EP Solution for Supplier Portal

Hello All,
I'm working on BSP's and Portal since 1 Year.
The Portal Implementation is already done before I started working on it.
Now my scenario is as folows :
We need to implement EP Solution for Supplier Portal .
For this we want to know what are all the activities involved.
Can anyone throw some light on it ?
Regards,
Deepu.K

We have to make setting for displaying all the roles defined for supplier portal to reflect in the EP.Portal is integrated with Webclient of CRM so make sure all changes done in the webclient are reflected in the Portal thing.

Solution for IPS/HA needed.

Hi,
I need some help here.
I have to integrate an IPS into an existent redundant network. This network always has two redundant switch links. There is also a redundant pair of Checkpoint firewalls. I have to implement two ASA/IPS in front of these firewalls and keep the redundancy. I also need to use the transparent mode to reduce the implantation impact, and an active/standby failover mode.
So I decided to use the following physical topology (ignore the dots):
sw1--ips1--sw3--fw1
|....................|
|....................|
sw2--ips2--sw4--fw2
The problem with this topology is the L2 loop and STP. The SPT will block a port to avoid this loop. But the converged topology will have problems.
If the STP topology is like this one bellow, traffic from a host connect to sw1 to a host connected to sw2 will have to pass both IPS, including the standby unit.
sw1--ips1--sw3--fw1
|
|
sw2--ips2--sw4--fw2
On other side, if the STP topology is like this one bellow, traffic from fw1 to fw2 will have to pass both IPS, including the standby unit.
sw1--ips1--sw3--fw1
|
|
sw2--ips2--sw4--fw2
Moreover, if the STP topology is like one of the two bellow, I can force the topology to direct traffic to the active IPS. But the STP topology should change, if the active IPS fail.
sw1--ips1 sw3--fw1
|.......................|
|.......................|
sw2--ips2--sw4--fw2
sw1--ips1--sw3--fw1
|......................|
|......................|
sw2--ips2 sw4--fw2
Am I missing anything here? Is there any other solution for HA/IPS?
Any comment will be appreciated.

Thx Robert.
I have considered a solution similar to yours, but a question raised from that solution: if I issue a 'no failover active' command to force the standby unit to become active, the STP topology should also be modified to make the traffic pass thru the new active ASA.
This STP topology change will not be automatic. And even worst, this will never happen in a situation were the ASA fails over by other reason.

What's the best cloud solution for Aperture photos?

I use aperture and looking for a cloud storage solution to free up space? Interested in Fanfair, Smugmug and Dropbox. I plan to keep using Aperture for recent photos but want to be able to upload (and remove from my hard drive) older photos to free up space?
Any suggestions on product and workflow?

The problem with multiple libraries is that they are inconvenient. Only one can be open and searched at a time, so if you're looking for that photo from your trip to NY, well was that in 95? 96? Maybe it was 94... And as an Aperture Library is pretty much unlimitied in size, I don't see a compelling argument for a library-per-year approach.
Having two libraries - one on the internal and one on the external - seems like a lot more convenient, but I would do that slightly differently.
On the External I would have one complete library. This makes backing up very easy. Back that up and you have everything backed up. From that I would export as a library the material you want to take on the road with you. If you import then ideally import to the one main library, of if not, then you can move material from the internal to the external library using the export as Library/ import library function. So, at all times the internal library is a sub-set of the main one.
I'm wary of Dropbox and other cloud solutions for backing up an entire Library. Why? These are very large databases. I've seen people complain that restoring a library can take days simply because these guys shape their traffic and you're downloading massive amounts of data.
Further, many cloud services store the files on inappropriate disk formats, and this can lead to damage to the Library.
So, my suggestion would be as follows:
One full size Library on an external
That backed up to another external.
Ideally, backed up to a second external - this lives off-site at your workplace, a relatives house, even in your car.
On your internal a subset of your main library.
As for backing up Photos to the cloud, that's quite simple. Services like Flickr and SmugMug - and there are many others - are there and you can upload all your photos, they remain accessible from any computer anywhere in the world.

(totals for #7 are only for display and are not correct)
I was not concerned with PTD totals (sum of weeks 1 to 5); I simply UNION ALL'ed a second SELECT from first query summing on week 1 - 5
The client program throws error:
"unsupported case for inlining of query name in WITH clause". Googling suggest it is most likely most likely because of the UNION ALL
So I do need to get the PTD totals in a record with Week number 6.

Your results were correct, totals and all. Thank you.
There was a lot of unnecessary dividing by 8 going on.
x / 8 = 0 if and only if x = 0, so there's no need to divide by 8 when testing for division by 0.
(a/8) / (b/8) = a / b, so there's no need to divide by 8 at all when computing efficiency.
thanks I had missed that.

Need solution for multiple Firewire needs

My new 27" 2011 imac will arrive next Monday. I'm now trying to define and solve all potential hurdles.
I seek recommendations on how to best solve my need to attach 2 original firewire cables, into this imac that only comes with 1 firewire 800 input. Both connectors are critical to my work. One connector will turn hard to the right for about six feet to connect to my Digi02 audio interface. The other cable connects and turns hard to the left for 15 feet to connect to my Epson 2200 art printer. Both of the outboard equipment need the original firewire.
I have considered daisy chaining the audio interface and the printer. Except they are on opposite sides of my studio, and I prefer NOT to use a 25 foot firewire cable between such critical peices of hardware.
A better possibility may be a firewire hub, although it will probably also need adaptors for the different versions of firewire i need. That seems rather inelegant. Another possibility would be to get one USB to firewire adaptor and one firewire to 800 adaptor. Do these USB to firewire adaptors work OK?
Anyway, which of these methods would you recommend as my best choice? Are there other choices i haven't mentioned here?

The guy is totally correctin his review.
That is how FireWire works. The FireWire bus will run only as fast as the slowest device on the bus. So as soon as plug in a FW400 device, everything is then clocked down to 400FW.
If you need to have both FW800 and FW400 devices running at their native speeds you need two FW busses each with their own controller.
Because of the limited expansion capability of the iMac, I don't see any way for you to get around this limitation.
If you get a Mac Pro then you could use a FW PCIe card for the second bus and controller.

Need a reliable backup solution for mixed pc and mac home network - existing WD MyCloud isn't working?

Hope you guys can help me. I'm currently trying to use a new WD MyCloud NAS device attached to my ASUS Wireless router to back up 2 Windows laptops, and an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, the TimeMachine backups seem flaky and inconsistent to the NAS - so I am worried and need to switch to something else.
What is my simplest option without replacing the exiting NAS and Wireless Network and Router - can I attach a Timecapusle to the existing router and just use it with wireless off to do mac backups? How do I set that up if it is advised?
If I replace the wireless router with a Timecapsule, will the PC 8.1 backups work automatically - how do I set those up? Can I simply attach the WD NAS off the Timecapsule then and still use the NAS for PC backups as is? Any other ideas?
Thanks for the help -

Ok.. much more complicated.
There is several things that add to the background of the story.
1. That you are trying to backup a USB drive drive already.. I strongly recommend CCC to do this.. as you cannot setup a separate task in TM to separate the backups. I can understand not wanting to add another USB and it is older iMac so usb2 only.
2. Your Express do add complexity.. yes they work better if using the TC..
Will replacing the ASUS with a TC improve my music streaming through the AE's given that it will all be apple then?
More than likely although hard to say.
Is the wireless range of the TC as good as the ASU in your opinion?
No, i have both and the Asus is very good.. but with the Express you can do more than you are doing.
What model Express and what model Asus we need to know to give a straight answer??
3. I assume that if I simply replace the ASUS with a TC and use same SSID and PW it should be an easy swap since we have many mobile and networked devices in the house?
I strongly recommend you start over with new names..
Problems in wireless networks are common.. and part of the problem is trying to make one wireless router pretend to be another .. you don't fool the clients that rely on MAC address, BSSID not SSID. And you don't fool the main router.. which now is lost as to the clients expecting one MAC address and getting another.
It doesn't take that long.. use a slightly different name but the same password is fine.. I have several wireless routers.. all use the same password but different SSID.

One verified solution for downloaded apps not launching

I just had two other people verify this with 2.0.1 firmware and iphone 3G models.
If you install more than 80-85 applications on your iphone, you will then get the following issue: Launch any downloaded application and it tries to launch for 1-2 seconds and then returns to the home screen.
Even going to the appstore and downloading another application from the iphone does not fix the issue.
Uncheck some of your least used applications to get below 80, and then your applications work (One note - all 3 of us did the restore method and we selected between 40-60 apps)

Ok here is a new and interesting problem. I was checking for app updates using the iPhone's App Store launcher. I had lots of apps that needed updates so i selected the "update All" button. It asked for my iTunes store password a few times and started updating. After a few minutes I noticed my phone was hung. I could not even power down. I did not know what to do really. Finally I just held the home button and power button down and plugged into the computer. The computer said I recognized a phone in some kind of safe mode, iTunes did a restore without asking.
Im telling you, Steve was right about 3rd party apps having the ability to inter fear the phone and that Apple was going to handle them carefully. (though their efforts do not appear to be working).

One more solution for Silent Monitoring Windows 7 64-Bit - ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing.

Hi,
we are using UCCX 8.5 SU3.
After replacing the actual agent workstations with Windows 7 64-bit we had to face problems with the silent monitoring. (no sound at all and in the CSD the usual error popup "Silent Monitor-Session failed...").
In the CAD logfile I found the errorcode. "ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing. Please reconfigure the installation."
After investigating the logfiles, starting postinstall.exe a hundred times and reading the Configuring and Troubleshooting VoIP Monitoring Guide.
I just learnt about the wonderful tool nicq.exe.
And so i found out that the driver spcd.sys wasn't installed.
Check in the registry for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SPCD"
It seems to me that the "Cisco Supervisor Desktop.msi" never installs the driver one a Windows 7 64-bit.
After starting the NICQ.EXE as administrator the driver is being installed.
Test 1: Check Driver Status
Driver not installed. Attempting to install it...
Driver has now been successfully installed.
SPCD Driver service is not running. Attempting to start it...
SPCD Driver service is now running.
Test 1: SUCCESS
And after that the silent monitoring works again like a charm.
Maybe that info help someone.
kind regards, sebastian

Excellent information, this has been driving me crazy for a while now. Once i saw this info I was able to get it resolved rather quickly.
+5 for you, (I tried to click it above but it would not let me.)

GadgeOrderTaker class - which is an interactive aplication that takes four customer orders. The class contains an array of the four Gadge objects offered listed below
Item# Description Price in $
101 Electric hand warmer $12.99
124 Battery operated plant waterer $7.55
256 Gerbil Trimmer $9.99
512 Talking bookmark $6.89
The application prompts each user for a name and street address and assigns a unique order number to each customer, starting with 101. The aplication asks each user to enter an item number and quantity wanted. When the user enters 999 for the item number, the order is complete, and the next customer can enter data. Each customer can order up to four item numbers. When a customers order is complete (the customer has entered 999 for an item number, or has ordered four different items), calculate the shipping and handling charges. After all four customer have placed Orders, display each Order's data, including the order number, the name and address of the customer, and the list of items ordered, including the item number, description, and the price of each order, the total price for the order, and the shipping and handling charge. The GadgetOrderTaker class handles all thrown Exceptions by displaying an explanatory message and ending the application.

Wahh Wahh stfu I never asked anyone to my work for
me. All i asked for is help. If you read your first post and honestly consider it to be a reasonable request for help, rather than a lazy twat whining to have his work done for him, then you need even more help in basic communication than you do in computer science.
Apparently the people
that fill this board are just too good to help or put
anyone in the right direction to help.And yet, thousands of people get lots of very good help here. So is it just random whim, or do the people who get help do something different than knobgobblers like you?

Does oracle have a solution for what i need?

Can anyone help because i am confused about Oracles offerings!
In my organisation where use Staffware v9 (now TIBCO, and not the iprocess engine) as the workflow backbone. Relatively simple process maps with background steps calling SQL code to perfom updates and return case data variable settings and foreground steps mapping to oracle forms. v9 is client server with limited API set so uses DDL calls with parameter passing and timers to communicate, but used the better API interfaces in the past. Currently on Oracle 10g at the moment, plans to go to 11g, but not holding my breath on this as we would need some infrastructure changes.
The client server nature of the TIBCO product and the fact that it uses flat files for transactional processing means that it is no longer suitable for our needs, and i want to replace it with an alternative. As we are an oracle shop, a suitable oracle product would be ideal, but unlike the (admittedly sparse) documentation on the old oracle workflow, the new stuff confuses the hell out of me as it seems so wrapped up with SOA concepts (something we are NOT interested in at the moment) and with the addition of some what conflicting BPM and BAM tools as well, there also seems no clear direction. TIBCO also want a lot of money to go to the new product
What i need is a tool to do the following
1) define users, access levels, group work queues with membership and supervisors
2) graphical process designer that can define PL/SQL interface steps, make available foreground tasks in the appropriate queues with APIs to access from the forms environment
3) workflow process management objects like
- decision based process routing on rule or data values
- sub procedure definitions
- external event APIs to control flow and update case data
- branching, joining and wait joins
- rules engines and dynamic process definition nice to have, but not critical
4) operational API for case starting, event issue, audit trail access etc.
5) APIs and repository held in the database
6) externally accessible database structure (ie: makes sense in sql) for reporting/management
I have worked with workflow systems for way too many years (years ago i was even on the Staffware advisory panel) so well up on how these systems work, and think that all of the above is pretty basic stuff, but (maybe just getting old) i cannot see how oracle are meeting what i see as the basics
any ideas?

I agree workflow is not SOA (Service Orientated Architecture). Oracle's strategic direction is BPEL / BPM, and Oracle workflow is moving to end of life.
BPEL is part of SOA Suite but you do have the option to buy standalone, it does have a prerequisite of weblogic suite though.
Although Oracle markets the product SOA Suite it does not mean you you have to develop a SOA architecture, you can still develop point to point interfaces as you do in workflow. SOA Suite just enables you get more reuse out of your existing systems, and future developments. If you want you can keep you workflow develop as it and integrate BPEL / SOA Suite with it.
Im sure you are very skilled in workflow but these skills are becomming very hard to find. They require strong PL/SQL skills and typically don't work with any other application or database without doing some customization. The fact that there is limited documentation shows that it is going to be difficult to upskill developers.
For the functionality Oracle provides in its BPM and SOA Suite I would say it is cheap, especially against our competitors. Also the more you buy the cheaper it gets.
