Thanks! Yes, few would believe I do more than bitch about Bush over in SC. But this skydiving thing is sure cutting into my photo taking time! Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Post? Michele, how dare you make such an insinuation! Ha ha... Actually, I used a filter on the lens. It was the Cokin Yellow/Blue polarizing filter. Check them out - the effects you can get are very cool. Shot it on Fuji Velvia. BTW Michele, I love the flamingo shot. The bold color against the black is striking, as is the lighting.

There. Was that so hard? I am glad to see that this is happening. Thanks for posting. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I vote for the wide angle, as you already have 50mm covered in the zoom. The nice thing about a prime is you can get a very fast lens (f2 or less) and take some great natural light shots. For a very good price on a fun digital SLR check out the Fuji S1 Pro at http://www.keh.com. It's older technology, but it does take good photos. If you want to spend more, there are many choices. I still shoot film, as I like developing at home, and I know that I can always get a higher resolution scanner. Also, medium format is great if you want a step up in quality. Medium format gear costing many thousands of dollars a few years ago can be had dirt cheap nowdays. See attached for a couple of my shots...

I'm glad I don't always feel that way. If I did, I probably would have shot myself in the face with a bazooka a long time ago. I HATE to wait. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Checks and balances prevent their supreme leader from achieving dictatorial rule. Of course they are opposed! Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Pussy Cock? No.... a peacunt, of course! Zipp0 edited because I type too damn fast -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

They are releasing it at 1 pm. Eastern time, so it should be available online by about 1:02 pm. I hope it's not some blurry piece of crap that only creates more conspiracy theories. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Hey, I got a break from my dog-shit duties, so I thought I'd chime in. They could buy guns quite easily on the street. There are plenty of Tek 9's, Uzi's and Mac-10's floating around for them to have a fully automatic slaughter-fest. The thing that would really help is checking backgrounds to buy ammo. Would you support that? Now, if you'll excuse me, Al Franken just called. I have to polish his spaceship, pronto. Zipp0 Dude I know we don't agree on most things,but I can assure you they dont need to BUY anything they have it already What do you want to do, track competitive shooters because they buy ammo in the 1000 packs? and kick in their doors?...that is who buys the lions share of ammo availible to the public. Damn, John Rich and I, would be considered terrorists for saving money buy buying in bulk Why not? Shit - I have to show ID, have my info entered into a database, and SIGN to get my freaking Claritin-D! Like the meth labs will have any trouble getting it! Shouldn't ammo be controoled at least to the same degree as allergy medicine? The only answer for non-domestic terrorists is to not let them in the country in the first place. Once they are in, all bets are off. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Both, but thinking about ditching the cell - that's another jump or two per month. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I am doing IAD. So far, I am happy with it. I'll be pulling myself in the next few jumps, and longer delays follow. It just made more sense to me, financially and methodically. And I happen to like the feeling of 'earning' that first freefall. Going to 10,000 and getting the whole experience all at once seemed like too much, too soon. I want to savor each step.

The second one - the dog shit. Zipp0 edited to add: seriously, if you REALLY want to know PM me. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

If we have their phone numbers, and they are terrorists, why are they not living it up at club GITMO? Ahhh, wait..... Maybe the NSA hasn't heard about this high-tech resource: http://www.reversephonedirectory.com Zipp0 yeah that works with cellphones, and prepaid cellphones, and phone cards right? Thank you. You fell right into my trap. So, if the terrorists are using cell phones, prepaid cellular, pay phones, why all the interest in the landline phone calling habits of every American? Oh, and if you want to do a reverse lookup of a cell phone, you can: http://www.reversegenie.com/?hop=cellphones Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

That's the stupidest comment SC has seen for a while . . . Can you make up a certificate for this honor? Yes, it was incredibly poor taste. I do that to deal with horrible, horrible things sometimes - make light of it. I sincerely hope this is a BS story. If it isn't, those people are the most evil creatures imaginable.

When they re-institute the draft after the initial attacks on Iran, the powers-that-be need a place to send their kids, who will enroll in the National Guard rather than face the draft. What better place for them than border patrol? It's ALMOST as cushy as the Texas Air Guard, but not quite.

From an article on the lawsuit against the phone companies: Mayer said the information, only collected from landline subscribers, would not provide the government any information to help national security. "The terrorists are on the pay phones or using the prepaid phones," he said. "They are not on landlines so this entire exercise is another one of the administration arguments that we have to protect national security by doing something which doesn't have any protection for national security." Like I said, they are wasting their time and our money. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

OK I give up. You guys are right. Bush is the reincarnation of Hitler. He wants to know every intimate detail of your private lives, who you hang out with, who you know. He is willing to spend $ Billions to find out so he can drag you out of your beds in the middle of the night and put you in prison. Bush's goal is to rule the world by enslaving America. First it was 9/11 now it's you're phone numbers, then it's you're IP address, then it's wiretapping your call to Auntie Martha. There, now do I sound rational? - How about answering the question instead of ranting? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Question: why do they need everyones phone records? How about narrowing it down to possible terrorists? It seems they are wasting their time and our money. And what about wrong numbers that you might dial? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Not that I would ever do it, but a little doobage could do wonders for those with door fear, I''d guess. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Excellent point. Why are they OK with the phone snooping, but NOT the gun snooping? Hmmmmmmmm? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
