I second FIREd's comments on the Canon G12 and as he might comment, when you pick it up in a store, "It is obvious it's quality" . Although I will say it's a bit chunky so not a shirt pocket camera. But it processes in RAW, another story for later. I get the sense you might want something to...

Well, I'm baffled somewhat but happy. Just had my yearly physical and my method was Dukan diet to lose 15-18 lbs, and then switched to eating lots of spinach, NoSalt, and low carbs, plenty fish/turkey breast. My BP was taken with a machine that does 6 readings and tosses high and low. Also...

Lots of scams in this world, and lots of folks who fall for them. 4 Women Arrested in Panhandling Scam

T-Al, Count me cynical also, I spent 2005-2010 running into that same poor lady with the panic attack thing in Albertson's, Ralphs, and Luckys in Los Angeles. For a lady with all those anxiety issues, she sure managed to tolerate their parking lots. Poor ole sole (sic), wonder how she manged...

How does the wabbit get in? I don't see no door knob! Maybe make the inside 2 stories and rent the top out to a possum.

Same here, thanks to all who serve and have served.

Braumeister, I have to get a little bit better at security, so gonna give is some learning curve. BTW, the email to me was titled something like "RE: Mr. Brad Pitt, your order has been processed", so when I looked under "History" in the browser, there was my name staring back at me. Thanks for...

I went into a hotel computer center (Apple computers) to print an email in Gmail. Someone had left their account logged on, so I logged them off. But the printer queue was halted and had dozens of emails, boarding pass, etc., jobs waiting. I cleared it and tried my print job, nope jammed. So...

I'll just say, enjoy. APOD: 2012 March 5 - Flying Over the Earth at Night

Again, this is not political because this has occurred during every admin/congress in my life, but it seems the IOUs are only re-payed when needed to replenish the trust fund. So, if I'm seeing this correctly, any new taxation for SS would create the new money to replenish the SS Trust and...

A agree that Evan Williams is a good bourbon, and sometimes the price is closer to 1/3.

How is rowing on the knee joints, does it produce any soreness? I've got a rowing machine in the gym and may give it a try. Just start slow.

I think the habit of sunning in the park with 2-3 young ladies beats rowing by a million miles.

Thanks, that is a very good explanation and not really political at all. One thing I find interesting is that the money borrowed from SS was used to fund non-SS related expenditures. But when they talk about raising taxes to pay back the IOUs, it appears to me they want the money to come from...

I worked with a fellow who had closely guarded his "specialty" of installing large racks of communications equipment, so that he got every assignment as manager. It meant constant travel, per diem, mega thousands of FF miles, and lots of overtime. To the point that he was filthy rich by 55 and...

I bought a lemon, a lime and a fifth of Don Julio. Then I listened to these, and I feel like it was a very nice Saturday morning. I've posted a few of these before but never hurts to repost: Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing - YouTube Compared To What - YouTube Jimmy McGriff - The Bird (7"...

I agree, your comments on Gleason represent having real personal knowledge versus some Yahoo sponsored news article hype and can really affect the quality of the person's decisions making. But this thread seems more about, "I'd rather not know, versus I want to know.".

BillNOVA, one little tidbit. You'll walk a fair ways from the terminal past the parking structure out to the Light Rail, when you get there you will see the ORCA vending machines, and one tricky point is that the minimum you can put on the ORCA card is $5, and you'll each need your own card...

Adding to haha's info, the Westlake Station used to have 5 exits but I think the one going into Westlake Mall is shut now, but take the Exit that goes into Norstroms, thru mensware, past the shoes and you will see the street exit onto 5th Ave. And when you come out on the street you will be...

I fly quite a bit, and every flight, irrespective of airline, is full but they can't seem to make a profit. They charge for bags checked, extra for leg room, for the food and now for seat assignment, and I can feel it coming now, extra charge to use the toilet.

Yeah, I did not see any evidence either, just a "government" funded study that relies on future "governemnt" funding giving a recommendation to stop charging testing to insurance.

Can you present those "facts"? Can you give the evidence that not testing for PSA gives a person the same longevity as annual testing? Not being SNARKY, just asking for your evidence.

Hey, start a blood feud! Get a pistol, a big one.:coolsmiley: Last evening I got a call from a friend to let me know that a friend's mom, who "cared" about me when I was a teenager and kinda parentless , had died at 87. For a few moments I "re"-felt her kindness. Woke up this morning and...

Hey, you must be talking to my best friend, he asked me the same question yesterday. His question was; "5 years of blissfully unaware life doing what you like, versus 15 years of knowledge of health issues and fighting to stay alive one more year."

Rereading that article, I really wish Rich-In-Tampa would address this assertion. "The problem is that even with staging and grading of tissue samples, there is no way to know for sure which cancers detected through screening are likely to kill a man and which could be left untreated and...
