The 13th Official Random Discussion for TPBM (Back-To-School Edition)

[misspix]

Okay, because us TPBM'rs tend to bend the rules in the competition thread, this thread is for us :D
This is for general chat and off TPBM topic items. Enjoy!

Edit 07/14/07: For those who may wander by, stop in and say hello :D We are a friendly, albeit odd, bunch and welcome any and all.

We couldn't have two TPBM threads open at the same time. That would be like unleashing the hounds of Hades...!!

I don't wanna go back to skool! :(

Here's a fresh one for the walls.

Self portrait on the streets of Tonopah, Nevada. :lol: :lol:

[CrazieCricket]

[thomascanty]

Gaaah! I forgot we would need to decorate the new digs!

*Off to find a good picture for the new walls...*

[cfpackerfan]

WWWWWWWWHhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, taquilla before 10:30 AM ;) I guess I should have left traditional bread crumbs, eh? :lol:

And that is one Sexy Tractor. ;)

[Pete]

It's a Bateleur Eagle.

Bateleur is French for a tight-rope artiste - because this eagle has a way of tilting it's wings in flight like it's balancing...

[Becky N]

Pete, that bird is beautiful, some kind of eagle?

EDIT: Never mind, simul-post.

[Pete]

Weeeeee that was a fun ride!!!! can we do it again?

In about 3-4 weeks time, yeah....

[Harm]

yay, a new place, and we can carry on talking about the 80s and bashing tractor songs ;);)

Decorations...I know it is an oldie, but I just love how the dog sat and stared at his owner for about 3895345 minutes without flinching:

[thomascanty]

the eye, day 2

Ow! That's looking worse today...

[Skrim17]

He is generally a wuss, but seems to be toughing it out. He got a *lot* of attention from the other boys at camp drop off today so he was the BMOC.

Hi Lisa ..waving ..hope ya feel ok

thanks Deb. My head is very tender this morning (I think the migraine was a heat induced one...I don't do well in the heat) and even though we had our little ac on...it lost the battle. It was 82 degrees in the house at midnight. Oi.

I've been there Lisa and I know I get them from heat and how was your water intake? I hope ya feel better soon mine would sometimes make me feel fuzzy headed for days .

[Permagrin]

I've been there Lisa and I know I get them from heat and how was your water intake? I hope ya feel better soon mine would sometimes make me feel fuzzy headed for days .

I tried to stay hydrated yesterday but you know how it is...once I get the migraine...water makes me ill. (though I did drink it) We have at least 2 more days of this 100F+ weather. Sat. is supposed to be the NW POTN meet...but I do so badly in the heat/sun (it's my meds).

[CrazieCricket]

I've been there Lisa and I know I get them from heat and how was your water intake? I hope ya feel better soon mine would sometimes make me feel fuzzy headed for days .

Gotta love Tescos!! I miss that over here too ;)

But clearly is shows you don't cook/entertain much...you'd fit in perfectly in most of the US' society of buying stuff premade and ready to go...

[Becky N]

Permie, sorry for your migrane, I do hope you can stay hydrated, that is so important in that kind of heat more so as we get older:rolleyes:

[CrazieCricket]

We have at least 2 more days of this 100F+ weather. Sat. is supposed to be the NW POTN meet...but I do so badly in the heat/sun (it's my meds).
I was going to go to the meet too, but had too many other things get in the way:( And than of course with it being soooo hot, probibly better I wait until the next one. Hope you all have fun though and that you do okay with the heat Permie.

[Pete]

Things have changed with us moving into the new house. Those particular puddings have changed recipe and they're no longer yummy (they taste nasty and artificial).

Ali's cooking lots more heathy things now we have a nice big kitchen.

[Permagrin]

Permie, sorry for your migrane, I do hope you can stay hydrated, that is so important in that kind of heat more so as we get older:rolleyes:

yeah, I'll really pay more attention to that today. oi

I was going to go to the meet too, but had too many other things get in the way:( And than of course with it being soooo hot, probibly better I wait until the next one. Hope you all have fun though and that you do okay with the heat Permie.

I'm not sure I'm going. In fact it's at about 80% not, after last night. While I hate the rain because it keeps me confined to the house, the scorching heat does the same thing...except there's barely any escape from it.

The Chinese cheat, it is a farce.

Anyone with video experience? I can burn my video to DVD from the high8 cassette but can't get it to convert to an .avi :evil::evil:Sorry, my camera's mini-DV. But what app are you using?

As if it's that difficult to look at the top of the General section for the new home... :D
Peter my boy, am I going to have to give a seminar on the proper procedure for moving threads? Always leave bread-crumb trails in both directions! Some people rely on "Next thread | previous thread".

[reneethomas]

Jon I had no idea you were in MD too. I wish I still lived there. Seems like so many on the forums are located there.

Yes, yes she does.

[Harm]

By the way... what is the tab next to the fat content? The one that is 165% of your daily allowance?

I can read that as "Saturates"....

saturated fats? saturated oils? dunno...

LOL! No, it only appears that way :)

It bloody well does appear that way....

[neil_r]

By the way... what is the tab next to the fat content? The one that is 165% of your daily allowance?
It is the % of fat that is unsaturated as opposed to saturated

Saturated and unsaturated
Fat can be divided into two groups - saturated and unsaturated.

Saturated fat is generally solid at room temperature and is usually from animal sources. It's found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything that contains these ingredients, such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries. It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin. The less saturated fat you eat, the better - a high intake has been linked with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Unsaturated fat is usually liquid at room temperature and generally comes from vegetable sources. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are both included in this group. Unsaturated fat is a healthier alternative to saturated fat and can be found in vegetable oils such as sesame, sunflower, soya and olive; oily fish, such as mackerel, sardines, pilchards and salmon; and soft margarine.

[Harm]

How very true....

unfortunately most processed foods contain the former, rather than the latter.

So I tend to make as much as possible from scratch.

[misspix]

Later folk :)

[cfpackerfan]

Thanks Neil. :D

Harm... scratch is good. Use olive oil.

We make a lot of our food from scratch and try to use liquid fats as much as possible when needed. Solid fats give me the shivers. I can FEEL them clogging up my arteries.

[neil_r]

I should have added that saturated fats can also be found in ..... me :-)

[cfpackerfan]

I should have added that saturated fats can also be found in ..... me :-) :lol: :lol: :lol: Yet one more thing we have in common darlin. ;) :lol:

[Harm]

Harm... scratch is good. Use olive oil.

I do use olive oil...having a Dr as a dad, and plenty more in the family, they kind of drummed it in (Chinese training camp style??) about unhealthy eating etc...

But I enjoy making a top notch meal, so I have no complaints making things from basics....

For example, to make pancakes (nice and fluffly) there are only 4-5 ingredients, and that is it....freshly made....you go to the store and look at all those pre-packaged garbage, the ingredients list is so large, your eyes pop out.....

The only thing i haven't made from scratch is my own pasta...

[JWright]

You guys went and moved while I was asleep... Thanks, Jon, for the bread crumbs.

Here's a fresh one for the walls.

Self portrait on the streets of Tonopah, Nevada. :lol: :lol:

Boy, it's obvious that's one family there, Cat. BTW, you said something about coming to CA for a conference... You gonna be in my neck of the woods?

So 99.9999% of you are in Oregon/Washington state?

Ahhh, no. I'm the lowest leftiest member... I'm in San Diego, 18 miles north of the border.

Nothing intentional Jamie but we got to talking and well in one whoosh we were here before we knew it...really that's how it happened...if you believe me...well...Deb...has the Tappan Zee to sell you.;)

[Becky N]

GGGGAAAaaa...due to unforseen circumstances, no invoicing occurred yesterday. Therefore, a daily job of mine that can take 2 - 4 hours couldn't be done today. I'm twiddling my fingers on the keyboard, this last 1-1/2 hours is going to drag, I know it.:confused:

Cool, literally.:D

[Becky N]

Permie, how is your headache? Are you drinking lots of clear fluids, non-alcholic clear fluids?

[Permagrin]

lol I am drinking fluids (non-alcoholic :( ) and my head hurts worse than this morning (I attribute that to a 3 hr drive in bad traffic oi!) but hopefully once we get this ac going (we can't start it for 3 hrs because we had to lay it down on it's side to bring it home) it should dynamically cool the house down. I'm looking forward to that.

Go sit in front of the small one until you can fire the new one up.:D

[cfpackerfan]

Boy, it's obvious that's one family there, Cat. BTW, you said something about coming to CA for a conference... You gonna be in my neck of the woods?So I've heard. :lol:
And sorry, you asked that a while ago, and I forgot to answer you. :oops:
It's not an absolute for sure yet, but it's most likely that we will be going to a conference in Irvine. It is October 24-26 and we usually stay the 27th as well to head to the beach (Newport usually).
Are you close to that area? If you are, and you have that Monday the 27th free, we'd love to get together for a little bit with you and Heather. :D

[Permagrin]

I will :)


CUTE shots Becky. I love the laughing pig :)

I knew someone would make that sort of comment. Thank you.

What color space do you all have your camera set to? Do you have a picture style you tend to use most and which one? What AF mode do you use most? Thanks!!

[Mgdh]

Oh and you gurls left Zane, Bobby, my & etal poster behind. Good grief no love here.

Thanks for bringing the poster along, Jamie.

Yay! Good News Permie!

[Permagrin]

I shoot raw so picture styles don't work with that. My color space is SRGB because most labs use that. And I shoot in M (I'm not sure what you mean by AF mode so I hope that answers your question).

My camera is sit to sRGB but I'm considering changing to AdobeRGB and making saving to sRGB part of the workflow after a couple of magazine articles I've read.

As for picture styles, I've never used them. I tend to use P, Tv or Av, depending on what I want to achieve. The only time the camera has been in the 'green box' is when I handed it to someone else to take a group shot - he was a photography student at the local college and he couldn't figure the settings out so switched to the 'green box' :roll:.

AF mode - I'm set on AI Servo and I've changed C-Fn 4 so focus is on the * button instead of the shutter button. It took me a few times to get used to it but now it's second nature and I find it much easier to compose off centre subjects. The only time I'll change it back is if someone else is going to be using the camera (so hardly ever).

Mark, could you elaborate on why you are considering this? I'm interested.

[Mgdh]

Mark, could you elaborate on why you are considering this? I'm interested.

Sure, Permie. According to the articles, AdobeRGB has a larger 'gamut' or range of colours than sRGB so you are able to edit/process with more information. You then have to save as sRGB if the pic is going to be used in a situation where colour management is not standard, such as on the internet. If your printers use a particular colourspace, then you should change to that before sending it to them to match up, as you do, using sRGB for that I see.
