  1. Did you configure the jumpers so that the PC knows it a slave?
  2. The manual safety on the shield does seem a bit small. I think I'd sacrifice a little extra width for a little bigger lever. But... It's not mine so ill wait and see what the wife says.
  3. On road bikes no less. Wow.

    So I did.... Sucks getting old. Try this: http://digital-photography-school.com
  5. Don't think it would work as well with lead. It cools too slowly.
  6. I married one too.... :) She needs one of these peep holes... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000TB1FHW
  7. The vast majority of commie ammo I've shot is the various incarnations of Wolf. I expect my commie rifles to be minute of man accurate, and they meet my expectations. By comparison, I expect my Swiss rifle to be quite accurate so I feed it quality ammo and it meets my expectations.
  8.     Commie ammo works fine in commie rifles.  Tula likely isn't the most accurate stuff and it tends to be quite dirty, but it goes bang and punches holes in stuff.

      Sounds reasonable assuming everything is in new-ish condition.  DLSR's do have a life span... 50k min is fairly typical.   Photography in general is about light management.  The kit lenses work fine as long as you've got lots of light.  When the lighting is poor is when the high dollar lenses show their worth.    I signed up for a weekly email from this place:  I've found it quite useful and depressing at the same time.  Some of those folks are darn good and make me feel like a hack.  :)
  10.     Water bath canning is the easiest way to start.  Pressure canning is better, but there's more investment.   http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/canning.aspx#axzz2nN4V3i1J

    What he said.  I think the 50 F1.4 will do 90% of what you've listed.  It may take a little creativity and extra effort on your part, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Like lots of things, having the right gear is important, but the person operating it makes all the difference.  I've seen shots taken by good photographers with disposable cameras that I couldn't replicate with $10k in gear.    If you don't already, get some software.  It can certainly be a crutch, but a little post processing can make a good photo look fantastic.    You might also look into taking a few classes.  A friend who's a far better photog than me took a few night classes at UT and he's done some really cool stuff with what he learned. 
  12. I'd never used a sling properly until I went to a CMP clinic.  The difference is amazing.  Maybe one of these years I'll get a rifle where I can actually use one. 
  13. You'll have to take it apart for best results.  How long?  Dunno, check it periodically to see how fast it's progressing.   Do you intend to have it refinished?  If someone else (a pro) is going to refinish it, I'd say don't waste your time as they'll already have everything they need.
  14. Kudos to him.  Honestly, no I wouldn't have blocked them in.  I'd have called 911 and reported it and perhaps followed at a safe distance until the police arrived.
  15. Thanks for the review.  Looks like they've got some good classes.  Hopefully I'll find some time to attend.
  16. We enjoyed it as well. Paul Giamatti is excellent.
  17. Welcome! I grew up in Chattanooga, it's a nice place.
  18. Lighten up... http://62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinHumor.htm This stuff is no more ridiculous than people with chest rigs who can't make it up a flight of stairs without sucking wind.

        Can't go wrong with the nifty fifty.  The 1.4 costs a lot more for a reason.
  20. After reading and thinking on it a little more.... hog lot for all of 'em.

      Nevermind.... In scanning the description I misunderstood it.    That said... from what I've read, if you can tell the difference between a brand new camera and a factory refurbished one, that's quite the accomplishment.           True, but the 18-135 is listed at F3.5 compared to F4.0 for the 18-55.  So its (a little) faster and has a wider range.   I guess I'm spoiled by good glass.  I bought a Rebel XSi for work several years ago.  I also bought a 60mm macro lens and ring-light for it.  The difference in image quality between the 18-55 and 60mm is staggering.  Granted, the 60mm cost almost as much as the body and 18-55 lens, but it's sooooo much better.

    The T3i is what I've got my eye on at the moment.  If I end up with enough Christmas money, I'll start shopping.  Interesting that the body only is $499 while the body + 18-55 lens is $437.  Note that what you're getting is refurbished and not new.   Given my experience with the 18-55 lens, that's a pretty good price for it.  :lol:      Here's a little better deal on a T4i combo with the better lens...  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1001824-REF/canon_6558b017aa_eos_rebel_t4i_digital.html
  23. OJ proved that a long time ago...   See this thread:  http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/73538-not-guilty-by-reasons-of-afluenza/
  24.     I agree that there's lots of things wrong here.  First of all, a mistrial should be declared, the judge should be removed, and a new trial should be held.  And I agree about sentencing the kid... he did something incredibly stupid and appears totally oblivious to the world around him, but I see little value in stuffing him in jail for 10 years.  How about 20,000 hrs of volunteer community service that must be completed within 10 years.  That's 40 hrs/wk, 50 wks/yr, for 10 years.  And a 10 yr revocation of his DL.
  25.         Or highjack one of the full cauldron's that drive across town.  It'd take a LOT of metal.    And a backhoe to dig it up.
