  1. As if it were actually a dropped cigarette anyone would be around to tell us about it?
  2. This is as close as I could find: https://lightontruth.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/obama-fed-reserve-backing-ex-jpmorgan-executive-start-a-new-digital-currency-in-america/ https://www.circle.com/en Circle, from what I can tell, is just another Bitcoin trading system. OR https://www.stellar.org/ That may be what you are talking about.
  3. Ok, so I don't know what it was, but it does appear believable as candle tanterns to me. I think it was last year I walked outside just at dusk and saw these very bright lights in the sky. They were moving very, very quickly at a very high altitutde. They were also They were moving and swaying in their path, appearing as if they could had a mind of their own. I jumped in the car and followed them to their source, sure enough, they were the candle lanterns. Candle lanterns can last a very long time and at night be seen for many, many miles.

    cz 75

    P-01 or PCR (both 75 based) are great for carry. I carried the P-01 for over a year as my first carry gun before I chickened out and went Glock-side on everyone. I still miss that firearm. It was very, very nice. I still think that the CZ-75 is the best looking and nicest 9mm handgun on the market. That being said, I like Glocks for the following reasons: Ease of parts replacement Parts availibility Accessories/Holsters availibility Cost Weight Magazine design/capacity/availibilty/cost That being said, the CZ's are typically just as realiable (truthfully, my CZ P-01 never malfuncitoned, not once. I have had several different Glocks give me an issue here or there. I consider them equal in reliablity. I used to always like the 92fs. I owned one and then decided to sell it and buy the P-01 for carry. It was great. Sold it for the Glock 19. That being said, I have never missed a firearm as much as the P-01. I still get butterflies in my stomach when thinking about the CZ-75 stainless limited: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/02/elijah-savage/gun-review-cz-75b-limited-edition/ Personally, I like the decocker models although you can carry the safety models with the hammer down. It's the part about letting the hammer down on a loaded chamber that made me appreciate and go with the decocker model. Buy one. If you don't like it, I'll give you 75% of your cashback for it;)
  5.       Were you trying to sell German guns again? :rofl:
  6. So...one group of people are deadset on saying that we never went to the moon...and there is another that is deadset on saying that not only did we go to the moon but that we also have people living on the moon and mars and use teleportation technology to get there.   http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/   :screwy:        
  7. See, I used to have would told you that Google Now Launcher was the way to go. Yesterday I was convinced by a buddy to seriously give Nova Launcher a try. I liked it so much I bought the Pro version for $4.00. I also just rooted and flash CM12 nightly. Figured it is always a few CLI commands to go back 100% stock if I so desire. Just now booting up the device. WooHoo!
  8. Just an update asking if anyone is running any of the CM 12 nightlies (particularly on a Nexus 5). I'm so close to installing it today but want to avoid any trouble if there is something to know of.
  9.   :yuck: 100 TIMES!?!?   I thought just once looked like it would hurt, but 100 times? :rofl:
  10. Right now, yes. If you want I can try and get you and the author in touch. He of course has a few paper copies on hand. PM me if you want one.
  11. So, a buddy of mine has been writing for a number of years now. He recently decided to start selling one of his books on Amazon to see how it goes. I told him that I would try and help him promote it a bit. It may catch some of your interest since he is a local writer and this story takes place in the surrounding area. http://www.bradleycannon.com/ Links to the Amazon E-Book and Physical Book
  12.   Bbbbbbuuuuuuttttt....the powder WAS black.
  13. Well I could. But I have the 50mm 1.4 that I am keeping as well as the 430 EX II external flash. I like Canon so I figure I will just stay with them unless someone can prove to me that it would be beneficial to switch to Nixon.
  14.   I may look into it. Upgrading to the 6D or better? Something I really want to research is whether the "bottom of the line full-frame" is worth it? I'm assuming yes, but that's a lot of money to spend. I just hope quality is there.
  15.   1D $6,799 5D $3,099 6D $1,799   I think that's a good place to start.
  16.   What he is really trying to say is that someone driving a maroon Chevy truck with a TGO on the back window made him very irrate and now he is trying to figure out who it was.   :waiting:
  17. Ok, so after the weekend I decided to try this. I'm throwing both my 18-55 and 55-250 IS II lenses on Ebay and for sale here. If they sell I will be applying that money towards my vehicle payoff. Once the vehicle gets paid off I will be buying a 6D or comparable.   It is in the classifieds section here.   Now, is the 6D what I should be looking at? I'm wanting full-frame. Price is obviously the limiting factor but I want to stay Canon and want full-frame.
  18. That is probably true in this case, but how often are views forced/extracted from "stars" by the media?
  19. Well I read that he didn't and isn't. http://www.inquisitr.com/1757251/liam-neeson-muslim-taken-4-star-shoots-down-islam-rumors/ And yeah... He is a hypocrite, but isn't that what actors are? They get paid to make believe. Truthfully speaking, if every actor made known everything they stood for or believed you would have a very tiny list of "approved" actors. Like probably 3.
  20.   That's the one downside to the 50mm 1.4 that I've read....but thankfully not yet experienced. Supposedly the 50mm 1.4 has a "delicate" AF system. I try to take care of my stuff but I also want a fairly expensive item to be quite well built.
  21. Nikon? This is the Canon thread! :squint: Thanks for the website! I'll take a look. I've thought about after market lenses before but honestely never bought one. If I'm getting a macro I think I will get 100mm. If I get a 100mm macro, I may as well spend the extra few bills and go L. Whoa! How's that T3i holding up for you? So you are saying it's a pretty great lens but even at $300 isn't a "steal" seeing as how it is a kit lens for some of the higher end cameras or can be had in a "bundle" from Amazon/etc for ~$200 or so? Do you feel it would be a great "alternate" lens compared to having the kit 18-55 and 55-250 that I own? Would it be worth selling them and buying the 28-135 and pulling $50 or $100 out of pocket to go with it or just keep what I have for now? Well...if you want an 18-55 IS II, I know where you can find one:) I speak very highly of the 50mm 1.4. Although, the 50mm 1.8 is a great lens even though it doesn't go as wide. I believe optically it may actually take better photos in certain scenarios. But I bought the 50mm 1.4 at $300 and it is by far my favorite lens as of now. I had the 50mm 1.8 but didn't like it as much.
  22. So, in a nutshell, I have a Canon T3i with the following lenses: 18-55mm IS II EF-S (Kit lens) 55-250mm IS II EF-S 50mm 1.4 USM EF  (My favorite lens so far) Now, last night I ordered th 28-135mm USM because it is $299 on Amazon and typically is $479-$500. My plan was to sell the 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses that I already own, consolodating to what I would probably "use the most" from both of them. However, I canceled that order and removed the items from here and Ebay that were for sale. I am awfully tempted, mainly because buying and opening a brand new lens has a certain "awwweeee yes!" factor to it. Now, the 28-135 USM has manual override, metal mount, and a USM, all of which are nice to have. It is also "EF" instead of "EF-S" (you can use EF mounts on full-frame cameras). Now, overall I would like to only own "EF" lenses because I do want to someday get a 6d or comparible.   But I canceled the order because honestly I hadn't done as much research as I usually do (I spent weeks researching the 50mm 1.4 before I decided to buy it.   Now, Ken Rockwell rates this lens as a great lens, but the review is a bit dated (although it is the same lens).   So, just wanted any availible input on here as to whether I should jump on that lens at $299 and try to get $250 or so out of my other two lenses. One thing I am noticing is that I like prime lenses and would really like a macro lens. That being said...I'd also like an "L" lens. ;   If I were to buy the 28-135, it would be for "consolodation" of the two lenses I would sell, as well as future proofing to the "EF" mount. I guess the make or break deal would purely be glass quality compared to the 18-55 and 55-250 at the comparible focal lengths. I read something that suggested the two lenses mentioned are typically sharper at the same focal length than the 28-135. But you can read anything on the internet!
  23. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2015/01/14/westport-car-dealership-messes-with-pizza-delivery-guy-feels-internet-wrath/zXO7rV6jreriD63xG0bj5L/story.html   So for those that haven't seen, I thought this might entertain/frustrate you this evening while it (possibly) snows. It is here!   So the video in the above article will frustrate you, but...these reviews will make you laugh:   http://www.yelp.com/biz/f-and-r-auto-sales-westport?start=40   AND   http://www.yelp.com/biz/palace-pizza-and-more-north-dartmouth
  24. This article seems to be a mix of a two year old article and an "updated" article making references to Taken 3.
  25. Yes.   It is just north of southern Atlanta:)
