that cam is i verrry nice , i bet u can tell the diff onece u tart shooting at higher iso, cannon and c/Z and sigma i think have the best lenses , i have 2 sigma lenses that i love my sigma 70-200 f 2.8 is def my work horse out door lens but i never do macro i need try some of that when i get back
 
Where was it caught? Did or does it ever try and bite your finger off? How do you watch for the tail?

mexico somewhere, it never did try to bite me. the way to pick them up is to grab right behind the head and at the start of the tail at the same time.

but they have really really really good vision and can practially see behind them so when you go to lower you hand to the tail part they will whip you with the tail. once they are larger they can really sting with it, i once had a welp from wrist almost to my shoulder for two days.

whew that was long. just when you reach for the tail do it swiftly, dont hover your hand there waiting for the "right time" to reach.

Good to hear Mike no wonder you've been busy out there the last few evenings. I wanted to stop to say hello but had somewhere to be everyday this week :meh: post up a few pics in your thread.

Thanks. I forgot about the ISO. It is insane and does blow away my 40 D. It has expandable ISO to 25600! I took some shots completely in the dark and images show up as bright gold and you can see like a gold night vision. I still don't understand that this camera can see what I can't in the dark. Maybe one day you can teach me how to use this thing.

Thanks for the tips. I have read they have a partietal eye on the top of their head so they can sense things coming from above.

That welp sounded pretty bad.:eek: I may have to break out the wire cutters and de-tail this thing.:hillbilly:
 
:hhmm:LAND OF THE FREE:mad:
HAD ENOUGH YET? You "rich person" buying a home:

I knew this was going to be bad but I am astounded with this:
So you think you live in a free country.
Boy have you got a surprise coming.

A License Required for your HOUSE?

If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this email is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the housing market is depressed now, wait until everyone sees this. No one will be buying homes in the future.

We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has passed the House of Representatives and are being considered by the Senate. We are ready to join the next march on Washington ! This Congress and their "experts" are truly out to destroy the middle class of the U.S.A.

A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and mobile homes....Thinking about selling your house? Take a look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable! Home owners take note and tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!

Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this "Cap & Trade" bill, passed by the House of Representatives. If it is also passed by the Senate, it will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.

The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year. No one is excluded. However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure that these voters will get a tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus, you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else..

But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now you won't be able to sell your house without some bureaucrat's OK. Yes, you read that right.

The caveat (there always is a caveat) is that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA administrator.

To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new energy efficiency requirement is and you will be required to make modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act, to comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements.

Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license (called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating, you can't sell.

And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he/she alone determines to be in the government's best interest. Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress. Then the Administrator can set new standards every year.

The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 - Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all existing homes across America .

Beginning one year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with its energy and water efficiency standards. You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each year and will be really hard (expen$ive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody!

The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements IF you meet certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants. You should expect requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year", "home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target the upper middle class (that includes YOU?) and prevent you from qualifying for the grants.

Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you can believe in." Sect. 204 - Building Energy Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90 percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act."

This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help the EPA. Some of this money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year...

Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be allowed to sell your home without having this label. And, just like your car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so often - maybe every year.

But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your home should only cost about $200 each time. Remember what they said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in California ? It would only cost $15. That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate.

Expect the same from the home labeling program. Sect. 304 - Greater Energy Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d) that one year after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the federal government that their state and/or local codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building Code energy efficiency standards.

O.o..... Thats some old BS right there.... There aught to be a law against voting on something that has not been read, also against having a 6000 page (or how ever long that health insurance bill, and the cap and tax bill) proposal for a new set of sweeping laws. There is no reason that we should not be able to have plain English laws that don't require a lawyer to interpret.
 
I just received my new 2010 member plaque. I think it is very ugly and sucks. That is all. If anyone wants it let me know or else it is going in the trash.

you received a plank or plaque to what?----- if plaque is it somthin you dentist can remove?----- :hhmm:cause it sounds:censor: painful:rolleyes::eek:

I haven't seen one of these. Post a picture of it. Now you have me curious.

Up date me on the RG. Did i miss something.
 
why am I always the oddball that likes what y'all dislike, and am meh... to what everyone else things is awesome?
 
I don't know Josh but I think I am with you on this one. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a great work of art or anything but I certainly don't find it offensive. Is this something every member receives or do these need to be purchased?

And it took me a moment to figure out the dot org thing with the sticker in place of the O. :D
