Not too bad.....Really tired though. Other than than, I'm uploading a few pictures from the ones I took last weekend in the nature park I was in. Out of 66 shots, I kept 8 that I though were worth my time in editing. I'll post a few up in just a bit. They're not my best, but not bad.

How about you?

Not bad looking forward to seeing them

Its going. Just a bit tired but its a summer friday. Out of work in 2 hours and just going home to relax.

To make gun powder mix saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur....right combination, proper grinding kapow

Hint! Grind first, then combine! Much safer!

Well, here ya go Omar. A few shots from last weekend.


If I remember right, this is a Cedar Wax Wing

So I woke up this morning, went to go wake my computer, and I couldn't get it to wake up (not surprising, I always have that issue with W7), but I couldn't get it to reboot into windows.

Oy Vey.

Well, at least you woke up. That's alway a good start to a day.....hehe.

When you were trying to "wake" the computer, did you try to hit the power button to bring it out of sleep mode? I had to do that with mine until I changed it in the settings to just stay on period.

Some of the court stuff:

Garry Herriott, 48 pleads guilty to theft of £1,000 worth of jewellery from links of London. Committed to crown court for sentence

David Walcott, 21 of Croydon charged with violent disorder and possession of cannabis. Remanded in custody unto Aug 18 at Croydon Mags.

Next up Darren Rodney, 23 of Clapham. Charged with burglary of 6 pairs of shoes from Footlocker in Clapham Junction. Darren Rodney lives with his girlfriend and they have a three month old baby, the court has heard.

The vast majority/ a huge percentage of the people I've seen coming through the courts don't have jobs. Most are under 23.

17 year old youth in court charged with stealing sweets during riots. I spoke to his father who said that he had no control over his son. He told me he believed this has happened as young people are bored. He stole M&Ms and Tom's peanut bars, the prosecution alleges.

Daniel Bell, 30, pleads guilty to theft of a macmillan cancer charity box to the value of £50. Judge commits him to crown court

Judge says Bell's case is most despicable and contemptible one he has had to deal with today

Defendant just up before Westminster Mags Ct Samir Drissi, 18 yrs old. Charged with violent disorder in St John's Wood. He is charged with the violent disorder in two cafes in St John's Wood. He was refused bail and remanded until Aug 18 at Highbury Mags Ct.

Dayle Blinkhorn, age 23 pleads guilty to handling stolen goods namely a Bang & Olufsen TV and is remanded in custody

Law student charged with violent disorder is 21 yr old Marouane Rouhi.

Jordan Kelly, 20 pleads guilty to a charge of going equipped for burglary after being found on the street with a balaclava and a bin liner

Karl Brown, 27 accused of stealing a t-shirt from Liam Gallagher's shop remanded in custody and given a date for committal to crown court


Wow, what a bunch of morons...

I'd say you have several villages missing their idiots, but that would be an insult to both villages and real idiots.

Throw it out the window, Nick!!

Power button, moving the mouse, hitting the keyboard.

Like I said I always have this problem on my old computer too, sometimes it wakes up. Sometimes it doesn't.

I just need to turn sleep mode off.

I suppose you could consider them failed village idiots....

This should be a Morning Dove

Good outing so far Geoff. Nice cedar wax wing shot

Yup. That exactly what I did on my system. I just let it run 24/7, since we both (mostly me) use it often enough.

Yeah, and normally I have music playing 24/7 so that alone keeps it awake. I just need to make it official.

I looked at getting a 15" MBP, but the one I wanted would have been well over 2k.
