Hi Heather.


I was SO mad at K&H this morning. Really mad. I left them in the house while I went to the garage to clean up the mess (they are in the garage from 4:30am until I get up) and I was yelling out there. Something I'm not prone to do but I was really mad. So I finish cleaning up their mess. I opened up the door and they were both sitting there, EYES HUGE! I grabbed my coffee and sat down and they tried to jump on my lap. I wouldn't let them. They just sat there all stunned...then Kona walked over, eyes all expressive, ears down and put his head on my lap...it was a total "I'm sorry mom...I can't remember what I did but whatever it was, I'm really sorry."

Book Description:The town psychiatrist has decided to switch everybody in Pine Cove, California, from their normal antidepressants to placebos, so naturally -- well, to be accurate, artificially -- business is booming at the local blues bar. Trouble is, those lonely slide-guitar notes have also attracted a colossal sea beast named Steve with, shall we say, a thing for explosive oil tanker trucks. Suddenly, morose Pine Cove turns libidinous and is hit by a mysterious crime wave, and a beleaguered constable has to fight off his own gonzo appetites to find out what's wrong and what, if anything, to do about it.

Once Jade drooled all over Hale, then Hale ran under my legs (I was squatting down) and thoroughly dried herself off. THAT was serious EWWAGE

After we got home I took the girls out to the yard and started brushing them. I left enough fur in the yard for a few small dogs. I guess this is the start of them blowing their coats.

You sound like me... I've been hitting the laundry hard all weekend since the boys weren't home to keep changing clothes!!!!! Bwahhahahahaha So sorry though you are on your own with the folding!!!! :p
Yeah me too. I am sitting here in flannel pants, sox, and a sweat shirt with my room heating blasting, as the heat pump is broken and has been since before christmas. tax time will fix that though
I'm bundled up... but it's getting cold! I'm about to go climb into my warm bed... LOVE my electric mattress pad!!!!

Evening folks.

Sitting here getting my SIL's computer sorted out. Cleaning out junk and putting an internet protection suite on it. Can you all believe that she's had this computer since 2005 or 2006 with NO virus scanner or firewall software!?! Only had the stock Windows Firewall with XP :shock: No viruses were found using homescan or McAfee, but when I got Spybot in there, it found 425 "potential problems". I bet Ad-Aware will find several more.

what about March 17th? You could dress up in green and have a pint of Guinness to celebrate too!!

Oh, and you can join me at the "not so cool table", I don't have an FB page either.
:lol:...yeah, no. :|

all right *fist bump*

^^^ I'm with Harm on this one
Only if you dress as a leprechaun first.

Best place i've been to, in the US, where light pollution is at it's least amount is Mt Washington in upstate NH. Nearest city is hours away, and there are only tiny towns nearby...
Or, my back yard :D. I can see several stars on a clear night, though I don't ever recall seeing the Milky Way. I'll have to remember to look next time I'm outside.

Afternoon kids. Bobert, March is a great month to have a kid!!

Oh man that was funny!

I had a large poster print done up at Costco, it came out GREAT! 20x30 for 8.99, you upload a bunch of photos to a folder and they create the collage, if you don't like how they chose the photos hit shuffle. I really like the way it came out *and* that I didn't have to obsess over where the photos were going and what size to make them!
Neat....I'll have to try that one day.

I would try Adorama, Kody; they do a great job with prints, it might look nice on metallic paper. Did you download the costco printer profile or make sure that they don't color correct the image automatically?
I ordered a few metallic prints of Evan to see how they came out.

I have a math puzzle for you all! The answer is suppose to open an attachment. So, I'll plug in all your answers and we will see who gets it right.

They say only people with an IQ with 120 and over are able to figure this
out.

If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

Then:

9 + 7 = ??
My IQ is 119 so I wouldn't be able to figure it out....though, saw the answer when others figured it out.

This is pretty cool.

HOLY RETINAL DAMAGE BATMAN!!! MY EYES!!

Now that is a picture I really could have lived without seeing.
I concur.

Sigh. I decided to start mii fit today.
I have the mii fit age of a 59 year old. My balance is bad. I'm obese. Yeah, I've been dieting too. waaay discouraged now.

gonna ski instead
Don't you hate when you step on the balance board and it says "Oooo" like it's adjusting to your weight.

I believe you, Lonnie!!! Got the same sun shining bright here. and 40 degrees. It's a gorgeous warm day. I have just the screen door shut, letting that warm air in.
I don't know where you're from where you think 40 degrees and warm air fit in the same sentence. :|

A quick snap out the door. Zoë is moving warp speed out there, too fast to capture lol.
Dang she's havin' fun!

Look how great Star looks!
That the one that was really skinny.

And the Kirb-meister
Awww

now it's time for a "how to" show on crop circles:

Thing's you'll need:
A light plank (4-6 feet in length) with a rope (10-12 feet) knotted through holes in each end. Alternatively, you may prefer to buy a light garden roller from a garden centre. (I'm too cheap to buy a roller...a board will do)
A surveryors reel measuring tape as it doesnt stretch. Rope or nylon can be used but may stretch and make wobbly edges to circles. (My circle edges will probably be wobbly anyway, since the balance board made note of my falling down a lot )
Marking poles - paint tips white to aid visibility at night (wonders if flame boy will volunteer for this job instead)
Protractor for measuring angles (it's just way wrong to say "bring a protractor" I mean come on...are we alien nerds or what EYEBALL it for heaven's sake...)
Measuring tape (100 ft) (This of course means just that...measuring tape...scotch tape, painters tape...and for all you handymen out there...duck tape...WILL NOT DO)
Night-vision goggles (optional) - your eyes adjust to complete dark in 20 minutes. (Oh sure...everyone has a pair of these in a drawer somewhere...comes in handy for those late night trips to the fridge when you & your partner are dieting and you don't want them to know you are sneaking...)
Laser-pointer to assist placing markers (optional) (This is optional? EVERYONE wants to play with lasers...but nooooooo the archaic instructions make protractors a necessity and lasers an option? yeah...beam me up Scotty...)
A really good imagination! (rdn) (Dan...you're needed on wheat field 3...)
:lol: so when are we all headin' out to do some crop circles?!

How about a few pics of the dogs with the crazy looks they can get while playing.

This pit was fun. Cisco loves chasing/herding anything that will run away from him.
And if they won't run away he gives them the evil eye.
LOL!! Fun shots of Cisco Eric!

Canadians seem to have their own way of doing things.

This (http://www.wimp.com/canadiansmilk/) actually is a pretty good idea.
Pssh! I've had milk from a bag while in school...the school officials decided that it was a cost saving measure to get rid of the cartons.

You don't have to leave the country to see something different. When I was a kid (pre-civil war era), we would visit my aunt & uncle in Wisconsin. Apparently there was a law against making margarine that looked like butter. It wasn't actually yellow, and in its natural state, looked more like lard. It was sold in a plastic bag with a little blob of food coloring. The idea was to knead the bag of margarine to mix in the dye. Then, it looked like butter.
ROFL! Really? That long ago?

Man this toilet paper habit Cisco has started is getting expensive. I should have taken a picture the other night as he had about 20 ft of it strung down the hallway.

:lol::lol:
Sure he's not a cat re-incarnated?

[Woolburr]

Yes, it is. :(

I played hockey growing up, it was the thing to do around here. Still played some until a few years ago, now I rarely get on skates it seems.:rolleyes:

Me too....until I broke my ankle in several places and had to have a hardware store installed. Skating doesn't seem to work well since.

[eddarr]

I think he just entered his teenage years. He is testing me every chance he gets and he does stuff just to get in trouble. And the weird thing is he chews his nails like a nervous teenager. He lays there and chews like his foot is a rawhide.

[Jamie Holladay]

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
I nearly spit my coffee!!!

Sorry :oops:
Sorry, but I've already done my quota for the week.
I got it done. Now one in the dryer and one in the washer and 2 more to go

[Skrim17]

Have you taken him to the vet Ick? foot chewing sounds kinda weird.

Dora licks her paws until they are raw....really, one of her pads is worn down and at times is reddish after several minutes of licking her paws. Especially after eating....like she's washing her hands. :rolleyes:
Where ever she licks her paws at you're sure to find a large wet spot....she's OCD.

there's several medical things it could be...fleas or tick or a cut (Kona had a cut and he gnawed on his foot until we realized it and treated it) or it could be he's not getting enough stimulation.

[Skrim17]

I went to bed, and now I'm here. I'm tired too as I didn't sleep much last night.

I found out today that after much gnashing of teeth to get my parents into a facility where my SIL has privileges they have scheduled a vacation for the first week they will be there. This is all because my mom has a mind of her own and wants her and my father's care directed in a different way than my SIL does. So when my mom and dad are both moved into the facility and for my moms 75th birthday which will be spent IN the facility, they will be out of town with their kids.

[BearLeeAlive]

Off to bed now. Catch you all later. :D

[eddarr]

Have you taken him to the vet Ick? foot chewing sounds kinda weird.

I'm pretty sure he's fine. He doesn't hurt himself or anything he just has found an odd way of burning energy and he has plenty to burn.

We are lucky to not get fleas or ticks. It's just the stimulation for him. When he gets bored with that he'll go find a toy to chew on, or a shoe, or toilet paper, or paper out of the office trash, or Toby, or Piggy. Then we go for a walk and all is well.

[Skrim17]

Are he and Piggy getting along any better?

[eddarr]

They are fine. He tries to play and she doesn't pay any attention to him. Every once in a while she feels spunky and will chase him around. It will get more interesting when it warms up and she is more active.

[Permagrin]

that's nice about not getting the fleas/ticks. We have to put advantix-plus on our dogs monthly (yeah...I love sticking chemicals on them...) just to keep them healthy... :| But truly, I guess the positives outweigh the negatives. We have a lot of microscopic vermin around here.


G'night kids.

[FocalPrincess]

Hi Heather, they seem to be getting better...well, Toddler does anyway. He woke happy from his nap today for the first time in a week. I will take it, gladly!!

Glad they are getting better and that our little "Tigger" woke up happy from his nap

[short5]

oh gosh...we just got back from the dog park.

Kona & Hale were skeered of Jade and Nonni (sp?) but I WASN'T!!! Aren't you guys proud of me. They were some of the biggest dogs I've EVER seen but they were so nice....I didn't run away screaming at all.
Great!

Therefore, I rule. Q.E.D.?

This guy is *such* an ass!!

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=9512926&postcount=6Troll, ignore it, easy.


*dusts off naughty step, Zane may be spending a lot time out there*:D

Lisa, thank you so much for inviting us down today. It was very nice to see you guys again and finally meet Kona, Hale, Chris and Maggie. We had a very nice time. It was good to get out and enjoy the nice weather finally.He is kinda funny huh? I mean not so much haha but you know what I mean.

I need some help.Let me know if I can help

FYI: Update.

Just finished scanning all 900+ pages of Monterey Jack. Next is the "inking" process. Probably start posting the new series by the end of February. Woot!

YAY!!! *twirls in yayness**swoons in swooniness*

Lisa being very bwave at the dog park today:

Yay!!!!! That's what happened when the dog met her? :shock:!!!

whoa :shock:...I'm gonna have to stop going to the dog park all casual. FWIW I DID comb my hair. Lol, I was going to say I love your hair:p I so see your resemblance to Little in that shot.

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove.

How could one not click on that title? LOL!

Hi kids. I strapped on ice skates today. Do you know the term, the bigger they are the harder they fall? I saw lots of people hit the ice hard today, so glad I was hugging the wall with Madison. I couldn't get her away from the wall.

I went ice skating once when we had an ice skating ring open here during high school.....never been since. I don't think I fell. :rolleyes: :lol:I grew up skating. My parents are from Michigan so they would take us to the rink.

G'night kids.We hit the pets every few years or so if they get fleas. I think we had to do it three or four times in Jinx's life. Easier than doing it all the time.

Yo.

Same here....there are fleas and ticks....but I keep the lawn well groomed...which the ticks don't find all that attractive. We usually treat during October/November and the problem is gone.

I was SO mad at K&H this morning. Really mad. I left them in the house while I went to the garage to clean up the mess (they are in the garage from 4:30am until I get up) and I was yelling out there. Something I'm not prone to do but I was really mad. So I finish cleaning up their mess. I opened up the door and they were both sitting there, EYES HUGE! I grabbed my coffee and sat down and they tried to jump on my lap. I wouldn't let them. They just sat there all stunned...then Kona walked over, eyes all expressive, ears down and put his head on my lap...it was a total "I'm sorry mom...I can't remember what I did but whatever it was, I'm really sorry."
I soooo know where you're coming from. I had a day like that this past week. No garage, but kennel. The puppy I'm training decided to have a BAD day. :| threw up, pooped, and peed in kennel. This is what I woke up to. And the day didn't get any better.


it was 29 day before yesterday thank you very much and earlier in the month it was in the teens. :p


Heck that's warm. Try being below 0 alot. :lol:

Love those! And that's just a tiny bit of slobber. LOL

Wow....that was possibly the worst excuse for a football game I've ever seen.
Yes it was. I was very bored watching it.


I don't know where you're from where you think 40 degrees and warm air fit in the same sentence. :|



Well, if you've ever been to Wyoming in the winter you will know what I mean. LOL!!!!

Ouch:
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) - The first Portland Police officer to arrive on the scene of the man who set himself on fire Wednesday outside the Nicholas Ungar Furs store accidentally used pepper spray in an attempt to put out the flames instead of a fire extinguisher, officials at the Portland Police Bureau said Thursday.

FWIW (and I know I'm his wife and think he's very funny) but this new series is probably my favorite so far.

There's humor/adventure/truth/fantasy/action & photography...all tied up in one.

Looking forward to the series. Thanks Dan your talent is a joy to see. So glad you share it with us.

Be careful when standing on your tiptoes.


Trust me. I know something about this.

I'm pretty sure he's fine. He doesn't hurt himself or anything he just has found an odd way of burning energy and he has plenty to burn.

Baxter does this too so did Bear, not a lot but they do/did chew on them, like biting their nails. I think Bax has had dry skin, now that the humidifier is working properly he has eased off this and scratching.

NICE! I really like the first and last with the multiple trails.

Though I love seeing the horses.

[Skrim17]

Jon, have you updated the firmware on your 5D2?

[sevillafox]

afternoon all. :)

Just got back from walking the dogs & going to the store & getting information on the new doggy daycare that is just blocks from us. We want to get them registered so that if we need to, we can drop them off for a couple of hours. :mrgreen:

Cool!!




Also, I'm cleaning out the friend box too. No offense to anyone (truly) but if I don't have interactions with people outside of here (and not on FB) I'm just going to de-clutter. We can still interact here.

Uh-oh.

*frets nervously because I can't check to see if I've been dumped until I get home*

I am doing some spreadsheet work for my friend, G. She needs the zip codes for CT organized by county. I say sure, no prob.

:-|

The county in which I live in Oregon is almost as big as the state of CT, has 25 zip codes.

In Fairfield county, one of 7 counties in the state of CT, there are 90 :shock:. 9 0 zip codes. I think that is like, one per street!!!

EEks

I am roasting little red potatoes with onion, garlic and lots o herbs. (and olive oil)

Yum....unless they have rosemary.

I dislike rosemary.

108 zip codes in Hartford county. good gravy.
*snort*

Does anyone know how to create a vector file from a PSD or a JPG?

Someone needs the HART logo in a vector file, and I don't know how to do that.

Cat, save it as a .eps

You should be able to open the psd in illustrator and just save it in that format or I think you can do it from PS as well. But, you want the .eps extension.

No idea about vectors, I am working on a logo for a local senior housing place that hired me to do a whole marketing thing with logo, website, grand opening invite, letterhead etc. I don't think I've EVER made a logo!!

I have! What a fun project!

*note to self....need to work on Jenn's logo.*

Good evening everyone. John and I spent the day running errands. We decided to upgrade our phones and are the pround new owners of the Envy Touch.

Fafa - I would not forget you...




Fafa might be able to help you out on the Logos. She does a great job



Cool!

Thanks!

And, thanks! I'd be glad to help!

GAH!! The lens forum pixel peepers make me crazy!! GAH!

guy A thinks he has an issue with his lens.
guy B says test it
guy A tests it wide open (which is what he bought it for)
guy B says not fair test (yeah so why buy a 2.8 lens)
guy A test again at 5.6 (compared to another lens) but too low of shutter speeds
guy B says not fair test..must use mirror lock up, manual focus blah blah blah
me, I say "duh. dumb idea":confused:

DOES anyone out there actually use their gear? Guy A does need help but who the heck (except the macro crowd) uses mirror lock up/manual focus IRL? (well I use some mf but lets get real...if you bought an AF lens, you want to know if it focuses properly with AF) :rolleyes::rolleyes:


GAH! I need to NOT go out there. I just get REALLY REALLY BUGGED.

Dummy heads.

I want to club one of the fools with 24-70 issues over the head....handheld....70mm, ISO 800, 1/15 @ f/2.8....seems to be a bit soft....much softer than his IS lens at 55mm, ISO 640, 1/60 @ f/8.:rolleyes:

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....idjits.

Good Morning everyone. It is baking day here - going to try my hand at cinnamon rolls, bread and a yeast starter. Starter is made, dough is rising for rolls, and bread not started yet.



Oh yum! I bet it was delish!



I found a cat breeder in NJ that breeds Bengals called Tailspin Cattery...think its fate?

Yes! Get one!

Sigh. I decided to start mii fit today.
I have the mii fit age of a 59 year old. My balance is bad. I'm obese. Yeah, I've been dieting too. waaay discouraged now.

gonna ski instead :|



Is mii fit part of wii fit?

<-----so wants to get wii fit.

Plecostomus do a good job keeping aquarium glass clean. Maybe you could genetically alter a few to live on the outside of your windows.

ROFLMAO!

Suggesting genetic alteration to your kin.

LOL!! I KNOW.
I was so discouraged after getting it set up. Seriously. The first thing it tells you is about your balance. Then it tells you re: your weight (my case: obese) & bmi then it tells you your mii fit age (my case: 59). Then it starts you out with exercises fitting your health. I'm SURE that it's all good but holy obese old cow, it doesn't put you in the mood to exercise. So I went skiing. :lol:

*snort*

I got on it and the screen said, "One of you will have to get off the device before proceeding." I was so mad I ate it.

ROFLMAO!

Permie, my Wii fit tells me that I'm 39 as well...I swear the thing ONLY bases its estimate on age. So I'm not coordinated, shoot me. Course, the BMI and weight confirmation that I got....yeah.

Try the hula hooping and the um....shoot. I forget what its called but tis crunches. I also got to free step, so I put some punk on the ipod and do about 20 minutes of free step. Twill kick you in the backside the first couple of times, but feels good! I'm making some progress....60 days to goal and MIGHT make goal weight.

YAY!

3 dogs adopted today:

Cruiser. He's been with HART since the beginning. AMAZING that he was adopted today, as he had special needs. This home seemed perfect for him, so lets keep our fingers crossed!

Jazzy. One of our newer dogs, and the mama of 7 pups that we're taking to HWAC this coming week.

And Suzie. Our little three-legged wonder girl! WOO HOO!

All in all, a great day. :)

Rock on!

Yeah, LOL. That's me. :lol:
My hair is SUPER long, because I don't have time to go get it cut, LOL! I've been wearing it back in a headband for weeks now. :lol:

And I have lost some weight. ;) :mrgreen:

YAY! But, make time to get your hair done for you. You are doing the new mom thing and forgetting to make Cat time.

Eli is off at his first ever sleepover, I am hoping we won't get a call at 1 am...

WOOHOO!

Just when I think Facebook has lost its appeal, I find 2 more 'kids' from so long ago when I ran the group home. They are parents themselves now, just incredible... and a testament to human resilience!

That is SO cool!

Yep! We've found homes for some hard cases. Luna should be an easy one by comparison!

Do you remember the story of us going to to that FULL shelter because they were putting dogs down, but they would only let us 'choose' from 5 dogs? And we ended up taking that senior border collie, who was mostly deaf? Who had been beaten?

SHE got adopted. By a most wonderful amazing loving family. Total tears when that one happened.

If Sasha can find a home... anyone can.

Night Becks!

Yay for Sasha!

<----------looking forward to summer when can wear the freaky red sandal thingies (how odd..."thingies" is an actual word....makes note for scrabble)

Me too! I like your freaky red sandal thingies and I've been wanting to get some....I've just been too cheap. Those puppies are $$$$

Not to interupt the shenanigans, but has anyone seen Fafa?

Yep.

not once in my whole life..

True...

Last I saw of her....she was in a cloud of sanding dust, varnish and children's toys.

That^^^^

Hi Ick, Diane.
Yup, snow. I had a subcontractor tell me he was stuck,again:roll:, no way out, I would need to fill his morning slots. I called his bluff and said I would come pull him out, I haven't heard back :lol: I filled his route.

HAHAHHAHAHA.....what a dumbass. Reminds me of the character from That 70s show that keeps making those lame excuses and Red keeps firing.



Pass the BUTTER PLEASE and remember, butter is a food, margarine is a chemical.

True that!

<-----refuses to eat margarine

<-----adores butter

Sleepover boy is home, none the worse for the wear. Now we'll have to peddle him off on a regular basis!!

Yay and yes, you will!

#1 there is great Jamie! I'll bet they're pleased with the images...looks like you had fun.

That!!!

Ditto that, couple of you usually help me decide on different processing for a specific image as well. Idk about you guys, but I'm grateful as all heck to have that network....love helping you guys with it as well.

I heart having you to bounce stuff off of.

As her unappointed critiquer, I get to tell her things like, "It would be funny if you changed her hair blue in Photoshop" or "Let me draw in an elephant in the background just to see if they notice" or "Crop the shot so it's just their noses. Say it's the new craze in portraiture."

You know, stuff like that.

ROFLMAO!

I need an opinion.....


I got inspired this morning, and decided to make hot bacon dressing. It turned out incredibly well. I had two helpings of salad, and none of the beef stew. :o:o Even so, I still have almost 2 cups of the dressing left over. It's too good to throw out, so I want to save it, but I'm not sure how best to do that. Obviously refrigeration is involved, but can it be frozen?

Opinions?

My opinion.....yum!

Ours, too!! I've stopped eating there since they stopped serving that dressing. Lois and I would buy the salad bar, and just have a party.

Let me find the recipe for you (I downloaded it this morning).


Found it!!

HOT BACON DRESSING (Hudson's)

5 slices bacon, diced
1/2 c. finely chopped yellow onion
vegetable oil
2 t. corn starch mixed with 2 t. water
1/2 c. white vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Fry bacon til crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add onion to bacon fat in pan and cook 5 minutes til onion is soft. With a slotted spoon, add onion to bacon. Pour bacon fat into a measuring cup and add vegetable oil to equal 1/2 c. Add bacon fat to cornstarch mixture and reserve. Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture and cook til thickened (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and add bacon and onion. Use while warm.
(makes 1 1/2 cups)

I increased the recipe by about 25%, and that's part of the reason I have so much left now. I suspect it won't last very long, so saving it long term is not really an issue this time, but I'm always on the lookout for ways to make things in big quantities and store them for future use.

Yummy!

I love some hot bacon dressing on spinach.

I went shopping today and got things for dinner this week, but was so tired and hungry by the time we got home I ordered take out italian!!

I know we all have complained about the wedding forum before, but I must say I posted some e shots over there and actually got some very kind, blunt and good comments. WOW!

But....you are a moderator and can hit the ban button.....maybe it keeps people in line. :p

This guy is *such* an ass!!

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=9512926&postcount=6

Yes, yes he is.

I had to quit reading the 24-70 thread....the OP is such a troll it could be Ken Rockhead in disguise....

Heehee.

I need some help.

Yes, yes you do!


Jamie what help do you need? I can punch someone for you if you want.

ROFLMAO!

JAMIE re: laundry hell.....yeah, I'm there. I've actually got to rewash a bunch of stuff because the hubster messed with my system and got clean mixed with dirty. GAH!

:lol: Our school district had a mix of reel to reel, laser disc and VCR. Though the core teaching material movies were reel to reel. The VCR only came in if and when some company updated the movie which was rare at the time. The laser disc was used when we were learning a subject which required user interaction with the remote to click on answers. I remember pulling many hours of reel to reel projector watch during classes at the ready to hit the switch to stop the projector in case it decided to try and eat the film. :lol:

[Jon]

Jon, have you updated the firmware on your 5D2?
I think so. I did one firmware update before we left for Galapagos; I assume it was the latest one, but I won't know until I check the camera.

*refinished studio floor
*hung light in new bathroom
*hung medicine cabinet in new bathroom
*ripped up carpet in office
*fixed warped ceiling tiles in office
*patched whole in plaster due to window being removed

And, still lots left....
*sanding stupid drywall joints
*putting trim up
*painting ceiling
*painting walls
*CLEANING....ugh
*maybe getting shower installed

Corey worked like a madman this past weekend. But, he knows he had lots to do and he's dinking off most of this coming weekend. So, it's all good.

AND, I found a friend who LOVES doing the edging when painting so she's going to come help me paint and do that part for me. She already fixed where I messed up my bathroom. :lol:

That looks like great fun, Zane. ;D
Hi Harm!

We had an INSANE weekend here. We tackled lots of projects:

*hung wallpaper on studio wall
*put quarter round on studio floor
*refinished studio floor
*hung light in new bathroom
*hung medicine cabinet in new bathroom
*ripped up carpet in office
*fixed warped ceiling tiles in office
*patched whole in plaster due to window being removed

And, still lots left....

Just how far are you over the 2 week estimate you had a couple months back? ;) :p

BTW, I have full rights to bug you, my place is taking forever too. :lol:

Nice Tiff. Would you show us photogs the before picture?

Dude...the 2 week estimate was to get into the new room and kitchen. This was nowhere in the estimate. :p

Nice Tiff. Would you show us photogs the before picture?

I would if I had access to it atm. Not much done really. Ask diane. She's seen the before. Capture sharpening. Eye sharpening. Skin blemishes were removed. Very light portraiture. Her skin was pretty flawless.....cold weather closes pores and all. :lol: No color enhancement at all.

Nice set there Tiff.

On another note, especially for other Smuggers here, I saw a button on the fly-out menu that I saw last night looking through Evan's shots I have online. It's the "Collect Photo" button...explanation here (http://www.smugmug.com/help/collecting-photos). It's new to me and I did not know about it until this weekend....essentially, it allows users to "collect" a virtual copy of the photo and put it on their website in a gallery....My Inspirations...for example if ALL the criteria are met at the end of the page I linked above. So check your settings for your galleries. Now, that's flattering, but I hope that it will not circumvent right click protect and/or printing off a shot without getting some money out of it. :lol:

So, I disabled it through control panal/settings for now until I can read through this thread and see if my questions are answered. :lol:

The pp is very nice Tiff. My only complaint is her hair part. For such a perfect image as far as complex and skin, I just can't get past the dye job. Can that be fixed?

Lol.....I think it should be an easy fix but I'm not going to do it unless she orders an image. Time = money and if she's not spending the $$$...I'm not taking the time. :lol:

http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=157266&highlight=collect+photoI think it is new. It's subject to all your other permissions though. I don't allow linking or copying from any of my public galleries and unless I'm logged it even my pre-existing galleries don't show the "Collect" button. In fact one of the requirements to let other people "Collect" your photos is that you allow external linking oof the galleries in question.

[3Turner]

This is why I love SmugMug.

The answer was found quick :D
All virtual copies honor the settings of the original. If you apply watermarks, set prices, limit the largest size, etc., the virtual copies will inherit those settings.

Taken from this blog post: http://blogs.smugmug.com/release-notes/2010/01/27/smart-galleries/ which of course was linked in the 1st post of that thread on DGrin I linked up in my previous post. Nice. Now I think I am going to tinker with the new feature before I enable...though it does help with exposure to more folks if someone collects your photo to display on their website and it is bought by a passer-by that had not found your website.

Good! Oddly busy today, and not hating it!! Kind of excited that the Wii Fit didn't decide to groan and be a jerk when I stepped on this morning....Sandi's blueberry muffins are apparently NOT good for one who's attempting to lose some fluff. Off to Lowe's shortly, need some trim for the front door. LOL!

I've prepared a couple of projects for corey.....paper hanger and faux eyelighter. I've decided to start working on my papers to grade. :roll: They are matching quizzes. They take SO much time to grade. I'd rather have fill in the blank...easier to grade by far!

Been playing with it - I keep photos that I post to in a separate gallery that's unlisted and has sharing enabled. If I collect a photo from a "share disabled" gallery into my sharing gallery, I can get a link for it. For instance, this photo's in a sharing-disabled gallery, Collected to my share gallery:
http://jonbarrettphoto.smugmug.com/Travel/Greece-1/1114-169-696620D-02/537219575_vk7Lz-L-2.jpg

Next I need to see if Collecting from a "sharing enabled" gallery to a "sharing disabled" one carries the "share" status along, or if the destination controls it.

Yeah, I also have a gallery set to share photos here with sharing enabled and also unlisted like you. Nice feature for site owners to get photos shared between galleries to share on here....I'm gonna have to remember that to keep from waiting for a copy to transfer between galleries...way less clicks.

Post up your experiment results :lol:
I want to tinker right now, but I need to work...been working through lunch...only 30 mins left for lunch and I have not eaten yet!:shock: Gotta eat now......I'm gonna try to play with it a little tonight while I get other photos uploaded. I suppose this new smart gallery will help with settings a bit...we'll see. :)

G'morning.

I soooo know where you're coming from. I had a day like that this past week. No garage, but kennel. The puppy I'm training decided to have a BAD day. :| threw up, pooped, and peed in kennel. This is what I woke up to. And the day didn't get any better.


oh ungh. What a drag! I do hate days like that. Especially starting days like that.

No I blew the whole field up and slipped out as everyone looked at the mushroom cloud.

Ouch:

Last night was a plethora of bad dreams. In one, I dreamed Hale had puppies (she's fixed) that were too big and she died. They were irish setter and black lab puppies. No springers. Is that not just weird? I also dreamed my computer got a virus and I couldn't access the web at all. Or fix it. There were lots more...some worse...gah. What a night.

DRAGON. I meant to ask you. Have you ever read any Nevada Barr books? They are really good. Track of the Cat is the first one and my least favorite. Had I read it first, I probably wouldn't like her books but I didn't. She writes in a way that makes you think you are there. Whether it's being stuck in caves underground or diving shipwrecks on the great lakes. She's very good.

night Dragon!! sleep well. (hey...I want a talking pillow...)

ZANE you might have stayed up just a tad too long, Hobbies is next door:oops:Yeah, apparently, LOL.

I generally prefer Bulgarian military signal flares, but those are nice.LOL Don't mess with Hungarian surplus smoke grenades, they are bunk. The ones that do go off will gag an iron lung. The writing is all in Hungarian so for all I know they were poison gas, not smoke *shrug* Stay away from them, bad trip.


Cool....got the same effect of the single shots with a roman candle. I like the multiple trace shots.


Wow Zane... the first and second ones are outstanding.Yes they do, with a good 200 yard range.
Thanks on the horses. They were for next door but got miss delivered

really beautiful location too! Is this near you? It has a lovely feel to it. Looks like a lot of fun...but I'm surprised no one asked....

Loved them all. The lighting is so perfect in all of these shots. The comp is great. You can tell that you are passionate about them...it comes across in the shots.It is a really pretty spot on public land up by the barn. When people buy fishing equipment, hunting gear, and ammunition there is a federal tax that takes money to put towards conservation. The money is often used to buy public land that is managed for hunting and fishing. It creates great habitat and around here the land is used by non hunters just as much as hunters. Where we were is somewhat remote and the chances of any official response is low. Had someone showed up I would have explained it was a photo project and been fine.
Here are some flares and the launcher I have if you are looking into getting one. The Czechs make good illumination parachute flares too.

OHMYGOSH! My brother got to go home today. They never moved him down from ccu to icu or a regular room. Anyway, he's home and they are getting the paperwork done for a rehab facility. He has to go or lose his job. I'm hoping he'll be compliant and try to get something out of it.
