Need another laugh today? http://failblog.org/2008/11/20/speeding-ticket-fail/

ROFL!
***Trying to keep quiet in my cubicle, must breathe***


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... He had to have floored it to get that kind of speed!!

No kidding!

[BrokenRoad]

or really peeved about the ticket

[Bootsie]

Ugh! Well the advisor was no help at all, I still do not know what to do!

[BrokenRoad]

ROFL!
***Trying to keep quiet in my cubicle, must breathe***


please don't suffocate from laughter. It could be mighty ugly.

[BrokenRoad]

I'm sorry Brooke that sounds like it sucks.


Where has Chet been?

[gjl711]

Ugh! Well the advisor was no help at all, I still do not know what to do!Advisers rarely are. But think of it this way, you can always change at some point. You are not committed to a path forever. Just pick the one that interests you most and give it a go. If it turns out that you really screwed up and it's not going to work out change.

Where has Chet been? Hiding, heard he found a life. ;):)

[sevillafox]

I just sent him an email.

[BrokenRoad]

what the fish? Chet can't have a life...

Ooooohhhh I'm so going to be breaking some major diet rules tonight. I just made 3 pies. I have been rather productive today. Cleaned my kitchen till it sparkled and did like 1500 loads of laundry. Ok fine it wasn't that many but it's been running all day. Next room to tackle is the dining room that my sweet little boy trashed on a 1 year old tornado like rampage through the house with his toys.

[sevillafox]

No, he can have a life...it's just unusal so we're worried something bad happened.

[gjl711]

...Ooooohhhh I'm so going to be breaking some major diet rules tonight. I just made 3 pies.... I've been on an apple pie kick for the last few days. My wife and I have made three in the last 5 days. Apple pie is so good.

[Natalie]

Getting ready to leave.

[sevillafox]

[FocalPrincess]

Hope everyone is having a good evening. Had a little nap, and got a good bit of work done....I think we're coming to the end of toddler naps though. :-S

No nap for me or Aidan. Ian is just going down.

[Michael_Lambert]

Alright people!

So here is Abby's first visit with Santa.. i was surprised they actually did give a high res the image was 2000x2800 at 300DPI.

Here is my clean up of the shot, had to clean up the exposure, add some contrast and clone out a couple of stupid things in the background.

http://www.michaellambertphotography.com/abbysanta.jpg

For comparisons this is the original, it printed alright but looked like crap on the computer.

http://www.michaellambertphotography.com/abbysanta2.jpg

[sevillafox]

Awwww....that's not bad AT ALL

[Michael_Lambert]

Did you see the original i just posted before you commented :) My wife said it was a 15 year old kid manning the camera it was all setup they just sat her in his lap and he pushed a button on the camera it went off and then pushed a button on the computer box and it created the CD and printed the images. He did not even look at the shot before doing anything

[FocalPrincess]

No leave here

Ok, apparently I missed something somewhere, but I wish you luck with the new digs and the wee one.

No nap for me or Aidan. Ian is just going down.

Darn. :( Maybe he'll go to bed early tonight?

[sevillafox]

Oh....

[sevillafox]

Probably.

[Michael_Lambert]

Oh yea i could clean it all up, it was just a qucikie thing before i get started on my weekend stuff and forget to post the image :D

PS says i can print at 7x9 so i need to see if i can adjust the image.. Liz wants me to do a different boarder with something like "Baby's first Christmas" or something creative :D

[BrokenRoad]

Michael that is not a bad pic, better than I would expect at least, but what about the house and stuff that your wife wanted?

[Jon]

Enjoy lunch Tiff.

I have my bag back!! Apparently the local police picked it up right off the bridge over the train tracks yesterday. They looked to see if there was identification and then tried to drop it off. I wasn't home. We ran up there after retracing my steps once again. I walked in and it was sitting on a desk I could see from the door. The officer knew then that the bag was mine. He was getting ready to head out the door to bring it to the house again. I had to show him my ID just to make sure. He commented that he'd never seen a diaper like that and it was cool. Had it not been there we'd have been down in the rail road tracks. Although I think I want to go down there in the spring between trains and get some cool shots. It would be cooler if I could get shots while the train is going by. Hmmm maybe not in the valley but along the tracks anyways.....Good News!!!

Drygloves for what?
He likes to swim, but hates getting wet . . .
Are there new rules to the forum? Anyone see new ones posted?Not that I've noticed . . .

Rules were meant to be broken. Da*n to rules.. Anarchy rules.OTOH, we could make a new one just for you!

Ugh! Well the advisor was no help at all, I still do not know what to do!Advisors can only help if

You give them somewhere to start from and
What you need advice on is something in their area of expertise (in this case, something the college offers).

Hiding, heard he found a life. ;):)That's a vicious, unfounded rumour that he'd be the first to deny if he weren't being clubbed by renegade clowns . . .

GOOD Morning Thread people! hope ya'll have a great Saturday!

Michael, those were cool videos of your diving. was that in the cold? or was it a bit warmer?

[ssidiv3r]

Drygloves for what?

For diving. I'm doing my dry suit checkouts today. I've already dove with my dry suit but kept getting sh|t from other folks because I wasn't "certified" for diving dry.

He likes to swim, but hates getting wet . . .
Not that I've noticed . . .

Haha, yeah, but only when teh water is a balmy 40° (in Fahrenheit)

There is no need for a Drysuit Cert! The important thing is getting some dives in shallow warmer water and practice stuff like floods and stuck inflators!

If you ever have issues with your drysuit or need anything give me a shout! its my other business www.customdivingservices.com

As for the water in the dives, this was shot at the opening of our season the water was 32'F just above freezing :D

I know. I dove with a tec guy and I dove with a cave guy, they both said I did fine (and I don't think either of them have a drysuit cert) but I kept getting crap from dive cons at the shop, probably because of my age. The only thing I learned in class that I didn't already know was how to use my BCD to right myself on the surface if I go feet first and my feet are out of the water.

Thanks for the link. I don't know what place my LDS uses but I think they're located in Deleware. I've got a Pinnacle Evo 2 so hopefully I won't have any problems for quite a while.

Well, the dry gloves were an incredible, unbelieveable...........failure :( The ones I got from Home Depot had an such an unnoticeable liner that I didn't think it would be a proplem but by the end of the first dive (about 30 min.) both arms were soaked to the elbow. Luckily I brought an extra long sleeve shirt and an extra sweatshirt so I just dove with wetgloves for the second dive. Guess I'll have to get the Harbor Freight gloves and then buy a pair of Atlas 495's from Seatle Maritime (~$16/pair). I also need to get some bigger o-rings cause the ones I have are too much of a PITA to get on with TWO poeple (and the whole point is for them to be self-donning)

[Bootsie]

Hi Pete!! How goes it?

Hello everyone else today as well haha!

I have to go to 2 dance concerts today, so I am going to be sick of dancing by the end haha.

I am watching Wall-e right now, it is a cute movie. :)

[FocalPrincess]

Sounds like fun Brooke, if you get to watch. ;) I'm not very coordinated, so dancing doesn't usually go well for me. Others like to watch me make a dope of myself though!

Pay the money and get the right ones! DC Concepts makes the best drysuit glove ring system out there! I installed a set on my suit 4 years ago and never went back

[ssidiv3r]

I suppose I could do that, I just figured I'd try this out just to see if it would work and to have some fun actually making them. I think I can get a pair of Si-Tec rings for about $150 although I have heard a lot of people claiming the Viking bayonet rings are pretty darn good.

Question for anybody, where should I post pics of today's diving and controlled burn by the local FD? (Urban life and Travel?)

[Jon]

People? Hard to say without seeing the shots. Did you concentrate on the people or the settings?

Stay away from teh Si-Tech.. Honesty we have soo many new suits coming back to us for people upgradeing from the SI-Tech to the Diving Concepts.. and paying big money to do it.! I had SI-Tech and they only worked 50% of the time.

Well ofcourse, however there is a reason we don't sell SI Tech. We only carry and sell the best of the best when it comes to Dry suits and accessories!

[Michael_Lambert]

Dooodle just started a thread asking about that..

Currently i have a RAID 5 system on my PC and then back up to a 1TB backup drive and copy it to my Server at work keeping the exterenal drive in a fireproof safe. Looking for a way the computer can just scan for new files and copy them instead of copying everything all the time.

Might be a dumb question,

But do you guys keep your images in yearly folders? If you do just wondering how many shots did you take so far in 2008?

[Chet]

Nope my picture directories are a complete mess. Really need to start organizing them better.

[ssidiv3r]

Might be a dumb question,

So far I think I've taken 612 shots in 08 (or at least I've kept 612 ;) ). I keep mine under Memory card, then individual folders by date

[sevillafox]

Nope my picture directories are a complete mess. Really need to start organizing them better.

Same here. I think I may be purchasing light room though since I can get it for $100 so maybe that'll help the process. :D

[Jon]

Might be a dumb question,

Two sets, on different drives - one in camera/frame number sequence (without year dividers) and one by topic/subtopic. But I've got 4K on the 1D3, 2K or so on the 5D and a few hundred on the rest.

[gjl711]

But do you guys keep your images in yearly folders? If you do just wondering how many shots did you take so far in 2008? I organize mine using windows directories alone. It's easy, makes backing up a breeze, and is very transportable to other machines. I popped in a pic of my picture directory opened a little so you can see the layering. I have some big buckets like old-pics, pics, workpics, Under there is breaks down to sub categories, family, house, trips, misc and such. One more lever and I have the main even shoot directore and thats dated in the name Like Cranes112208 shot yesterday. One more level down and I have the status of processing the pics. Org-Unproc are the raw files untouched. Done-Jpeg are the finished pics and when done the raw files get moved to Org-Proc along wit the sidecar files. I suppose it looks convoluted but it is very easy to manage. I'm just under 20k pics online and I pretty much can find anything in seconds.

Same here. I think I may be purchasing light room though since I can get it for $100 so maybe that'll help the process. :DLR for $100. well worth it.

Anyone

know how to search the computer to pull all raw files so i can transfer them into a folder? I am using Vista 64bit and use search and search for *.CR2 but it says found too many files and can;t show them all.

I tried a couple of programs suggested in another thread but it seems to copy over folders and files that are not needed when i search *.CR2.


Oh... and GOOOD MORNING :D

Do you have different virtual disks or one large partition? If it's different disks, limit the search to one disk at a time.

If it's one disk are they in different directories? If so, limit the search to the highest lever directory possible and still find the files.

Else, you move all the files you know about manually to shrink the number it has to find, then use the find to get the stragglers.

[sevillafox]

Hi Abbie! Welcome to our little corner of Crazy.

[ssidiv3r]

Thanks, Di!!! And guys, I'm way more of a beginner than Di is! I'm still afraid to push buttons on my XSi and I've had it since August! :o I'm anxious to learn more and pick your brains as I go. I've dreamed of being a photographer since I was ...maybe 6? At this point in my life, I think I'll shift that dream to just taking really great pics of my kids!

So...umm....HI EVERYBODY!!!

Hi, welcome to the club. One tip, read the manual and then read it again to pick up all the things you missed the first time through. After that it's all up to practice

Oh, and just remember....FuryMe/Chet= perv. ;)

Hey, you forgot me and Adam :(


Hi Abbie! Welcome to our little corner of Crazy.

Corner? I thought this was a circle of crazy

;) She doesn't have time to read the manual....kids jumping all over her. YouTube is a wonderful thing too.

And you guys just aren't up to Chet's level of pervy yet. Circle....corner...its all the same when you're crazy.

Hmmm, why not get creative and turn the manual into bedtime stories :)

Wanna bet. Chet would look like a chior boy compared to me (and I mean REEEEALLY compared). I could get so many strange and abhoring looks from people if I told them I get paid to watch skantily clad children play for 2 hours at a time, don't even bother to mention how I save them when the little brats THINK they can swim but find out the hard way that they can't

[Michael_Lambert]

Good weekend?? I don't even remember having one.. lol

[Michael_Lambert]

Man i love this time of Year.

Every Spring a buddy and i drive around and pick up Snowblowers that have broken down and people either leave at the end of there driveways for the scrap metal or at the dump..

Spend the summer with our spare time fixing them up and then when this time of year comes the first snow fall we sell them out.. lol

Last spring we picked up 4 units spent $140 in parts $30 in new paint and sold the last one sold this weekend for $350.. i think we ended up making about $1250 this year for a few hours tinkering here and there. :D

[sevillafox]

Good morning folks!

It's been fun. :rolleyes:

At least I got a good night's sleep thanks to D sending me to bed early and Ian sleeping well...he even opted out of his 5 am dink around session. :D

I was still way later than I normally am and it sucked because it snowed last night. Oh, well. All is good. Boobies are empty and the internet is working again.

D, did you get your brushes yet? I still hadn't as of this am.

[gjl711]

I got my current slow blower that way. It was thrown out because it had a broken pull cord. It cost me about 1 hour and about 1 dollar of pull cord and I got me a snow blower. Been using it for several years now and it’s still cranking away.

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea it was funny i found one two years ago.. Looked brand new so i actually asked the home owner first if he was tossing it out just incase he was not sitting there for another reason..

He told me yea it was 2 months out of the 6 month warrenty and the electric starter fried.. he said he was qouted $600 to repair it and he only paid $900 for it new 8 months ago..

So i took it..

Little did the guy know, and i kind of felt guilty was that it had a pull start as a backup.. lol So i use i kept it for my father.

[gjl711]

... he said he was qouted $600 to repair it and he only paid $900 for it new 8 months ago....
I guess $600 isn't enough to cause some people to pull a cord.

[Michael_Lambert]

I honesty don't know if he even knew it had one. I mean it was still ziptied to the bottom of the motor... Unless you where looking for it i dont think you would have seen it!

I know alot of people just don't always know better i am sure the sales guy did not bring up the pull start was too worried about the Electric start being the selling feature!

[gjl711]

I honesty don't know if he even knew it had one. ...
I’m sure he could have found out easy enough, heck, crack open the manual. But maybe it is plain ignorance but I also believe that many just don’t care. I live in consumer central and have picked up many things just because people don’t care to find out and figure it’s easier to get a new one. I got my Milwaukee circular saw because the guy just didn’t care and I even told him that you could change blades. He was tossing it because it didn’t cut well and smoked like crazy when he was sawing. I looked at the blade and ½ of the carbide teeth were gone and the ones remaining were completely rounded. It looked like he was sawing through metal. I told him the blade was shot and that he could change it. He just said he didn’t like the saw anymore and I could have it. That was years ago and many blades ago. I still have the saw.

[Michael_Lambert]

yea too many people with too much money!

I had customer give me a year old latop at the time because the battery was not holding a charge. I told her i could get a battery off Eaby for about $80 and it would take 3 weeks she told me forget it she wanted to buy a new one so i recommended a couple to her and she gave me her old one. $80 later i had a perfectly working laptop and still have it now 3 years later.

[ssidiv3r]

Peeeeeedoooo ;P!

Mwahahaha

Heck yeah

I guess that's what happens when you sell points like an electric start and don't even bother to tell people about the other features.

Nice. My Dad got hooked on this place called freecycle (clicky) (http://www.freecycle.org/), pretty much you advertise stuff you don't want but can't sell (or don't want to sell). So far we've gotten rid of a bunch of stuff and picked up some things like a perfectly working non-portable scanner. Check it out, you never know what people will just throw away (obviously) ;)

[Chet]

Hi y'all.

[BrokenRoad]

Morning everyone. I am up much too early. As in Kyler slept later than I did.
Welcome Abs!
Today my goal is to finish making 2 more aprons then clean up the explosion of fabric, thread, and random crap that exploded in my dining room last night.
Thinking about making the kids let me take portraits today. I wanted to do an outside thing but it's supposed to rain and the wind looks rather wicked from where I sit right now.
Dude Chet where have you been?

[sevillafox]

Leigh, sounds like you'll have a busy day. :D

[Adamora]

Heck yeah

Have a seat.

[BrokenRoad]

probably not as much as it seems. It won't take me long to get these two aprons made. I don't use patterns, hate them. So I make them up as I go. I'm making them as Christmas gifts for my sister in laws.
Anyone know where I can get a conversion of womens pant sizes into inches?

[BrokenRoad]

that and I'm going to fiddle with my stupid computer until my photoshop works again. I have a crapload of photos that need to be processed sitting on my card. That and I wanted to fiddle with some of the photos that my mil took of my bil and sil yesterday. They need work.

[gjl711]

yea too many people with too much money!....
Well just for everyone’s info, if you find yourself with too much money, I am willing to take it off your hands. I can always fine a use for money. ;):)

Hi y'all.Hi back.

Have a seat.

http://motivateurself.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/4chan-party-van.jpgHmmm... not what I want to see parked in my driveway.

[Michael_Lambert]

Ohh Baby.... our lakes are starting to freeze :D Only a another month and we get to have some real diving fun.

For those interested here is a video from last year (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRp5gZYIahs) a couple of my buddies made.

It looks fun just not for me. I just about hyperventilate thinking about it.
If I send you my cold will they freeze faster? When it drops below 45 I'm in the house in front of a heater as much as possible.

[Chet]

Dude Chet where have you been?


Just waiting for you to catch up.

Google?

[BrokenRoad]

I've been all caught up....now I'm lost. Don't confuse me. I have like 2 working brain cells.

I should just google it. One of them wears my size so that is easy. The other is much larger but I happen to know her pant size compliments of the mil. I'm afraid of making it too small.

Sorry catch up to post count. And now your screwing that up by making me post.

[BrokenRoad]

yeah that'll take awhile. I've only been posting in this thread for a couple weeks. As soon as I get my ps working again then I'll start posting elsewhere.

[Michael_Lambert]

Crazy.. lol

You dress for the occasion and there is nothing to it. The only time you freak out is when you forget where you made the hole :D

[sevillafox]

That is exactly why I wouldn't ever go. And, it there are problems, you only have a little triangle to surface in so you could be totally SOL!

[gjl711]

Well dressing for the occasion requires me to have a house, with a roaring fire in the fireplace, a bearskin rug on the floor, a nice bottle chilling and my wife dressed in something not appropriate for diving I’m sure. That’s how to deal with the cold. ;)

Only problem is that you have to chop a mighty big hole to fit all that into the water. :)

[Michael_Lambert]

Yea but thats the kind of diving we train for :D I mean we would not forget the hole we do run lines so we know where to go. The triangle is not bad.. its when you are 1000 feet back in a cave system and you have problems thats when you really find out what you are made of.

[sevillafox]

So, drowning is one of my phobias and Michael, you're really pushing my freak out button!

[Michael_Lambert]

Just got an email from the wife,

Abby went in for her 3 month appointment and the Dr was thrilled with how she is.. Very cooperative and she would not stop smiling for the Dr.

I have no idea how this Perectage thing works but Abby is still in the 90% range for her weight and height.

Means that she is average. 90% of other kids her age have the same specs. as her. My little guy was 50-50. But my SIL's kid was 2% weight 35% height. She calorie counts for her kid, nough said.

Its been longer than that, goofball.

You're nuts. LOL.....see my response to gil below.

That too....that's the other reason he's nuts...

A mighty big hole and a mighty big air pocket. I'm nearly the same as you though, minus the scantily clad wife.....

Awesome!!!!

And Tiff, no to the brushes. I just checked. She's trying to kill us with this, I'm sure.
