Received my Samsung 204B monitor the other night, was quick to install. Five monitors now, perhaps that's a bit too much? The good old HP monitor can't go higher than 640x480 and after a year or 10, starts to flunk. The TV makes a humming sound but is great for watching movies from my PC or visuals from Winamp.
Overall screen estate: 640x480+1024*768+1600*1200+1152*864+720*576=4 423 680 pixels
My 7 year old VP171b is truly dying. It has served me well. Perhaps its time to go with the new Dell 27".
Huge monitor lizards lived on the island, and came to scavenge for scraps. This one was 4 to 5 feet long.

Monitor Team Alpha, from left to right: (Azermith & Co fans shouldn't need this) Miles, Ray, and Khryz.
Miles is viewed as the "youngest" and "most innocent" of the Monitor Teams. He is the most naive and childlike, and acts on his feelings rather than instincts.
Ray acts as Miles' "older brother," abusing him here and there, but Ray really does like Miles.
Khryz is the sniper of the team. He is more outgoing and risk-taking than Miles or Ray, but not by much.
Walking through Miami MetroZoo is a must for any visitor to the Miami area - just be prepared for wonderful weather now in the Fall and a long, long walk! Yesterday was no exception!
I have a yearly pass to the zoo and visit numerous times throughout the year. I scheduled time to go to the zoo with a friend who has the same camera I do (Canon 7D). She usually shoots fast action at gymnastics meets and wanted to learn a little more about shooting other things and maybe even learn a little about HDR. We started the day as soon as the zoo opened up and didn't leave until the late afternoon.
As we walked through the Asia exhibit, we went up the stairs to see the otters playing in the water. As we stood there, I heard some kids kinda screaming and when i looked over, I saw the Malayan Water Monitor more active than I have ever seen it. This thing is huge! At almost 10' long, it is just shy of the maximum size they are known to grow.
This HDR is processed using Photomatix Pro 4 from a single RAW capture. Zoom in for details on this guy - enjoy!
From Wikipedia:
The Water monitor, (Varanus salvator) is a large species of monitor lizard capable of growing to 3.21 metres (10.5 ft) in length, with the average size of most adults at 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) long.[1] Maximum weight of Varanus salvator can be over 25 kilograms (55 lb), but most are half that size. Their body is muscular with a long, powerful, laterally compressed tail. Water monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Sri Lanka, India, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.

Engineman Senior Chief Petty Officer (MDV) Lyle Becker of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-TWO, Little Creek, VA, descends to the wreck site of the USS Monitor on a stage that will take him and his partner 240 feet down to conduct artifact recovery and salvage work on the wreck. The steam engine and various other artifacts recovered from the wreck site will be preserved and later displayed at the MarinerÕs museum in Newport News, VA. The divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The ship went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.

මහනුවර බෝගම්බර වැවේ පිහිනමින් සිට ලී කොටයකට ගොඩ වූ කබරගොයෙක්෴ | A Water Monitor, getting into a log, after a swim in the Bogambara lake, Kandy.
This monitor is the wonderful handy work of my users. It is only plugged in to power. You can't see the horizontal lines very well, but trust me, it was plaid!
Mercury is volatile, so crews monitor the air quality during the work to ensure safety for themselves and the environment.

On a brisk, beautiful sunny September day, TLC staff took a trip to Tofino to monitor the exquisite Clayoquot Island Preserve. The island has seen many changes, having once been the major town complete with post office and hotel before Tofino’s population grew. Thankfully, for nature lovers, Clayoquot Island (aka Stubbs Island) was bought by Susan Bloom who immediately recognized its value and endeavored to protect it from further development as well as restore it back to its natural beauty. Bloom registered a conservation covenant with TLC on approximately 70 acres of Clayoquot Island in 2007, but the rest of the island is now protected as well – the Nature Conservancy of Canada is the proud new owner of the entire island, having received it by donation in February of this year from Bloom.
The 93 acres contains mixed old-growth and mature second-growth coastal western hemlock forests, and a significant stretch of oceanfront with sand dunes and eelgrass beds, boasting visits from great blue herons, black oystercatchers and Pacific geoduck, as well as a wolf or two from time to time.
On TLC’s recent monitoring visit, a wolf was indeed on the island but fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your love of wolves!) none were seen. However, their presence was known due to the scat found on the island’s boardwalks! TLC staff were joined by the long-time island caretaker who has painstakingly watched over the island for over 30 years. Chris has seen it all on this island – entire patches of forest grow where none were before; befriended wolves and other creatures like the adorable squirrel who stole walnuts and hazelnuts from our tea tray while in Chris’s home; watched sunflowers plant themselves on random beaches across the island, ever hopeful to make a go of it; laboriously constructing and reconstructing the boardwalks that allow access to much of the island, and so much more. All while simultaneously gathering seaweeds and herbs to create beautiful soaps, right in their backyard!
The real magic of Clayoquot Island is being there, which is why Chris’s stories and experiences over the past 30+ years are so riveting. Where else can time essentially stand still, or even go backwards? Removing tonnes of waste materials from the island is no small feat, and allowing natural processes to thrive while simultaneously cultivating a garden straight out of Anne of Green Gables is nothing to sniff at either. TLC can’t thank Chris and Sharon enough for their lifetime of stewardship over this very special place.
The monitoring visit enchanted us with forests dripping in moss, beaches with an incredible diversity of seaweeds, caves with rare crickets inside, and trees so large you can’t possibly get a good picture of them. As the island is on the west coast, it unfortunately sees a fair amount of garbage drift in, but this is carefully picked up every day when Chris does his rounds. In fact, one piece of “garbage” Chris found is the boat he uses most often, lovingly nicknamed “Deathtrap” on account of the salvager wondering why Chris wanted such a deathtrap of a boat. With a very shallow base, Deathtrap allows its captain the ability to get far into shore without scraping too much on the bottom. There is a purpose for everything, even the garbage of Clayoquot Island.
TLC gratefully looks toward our next monitoring visit on Clayoquot Island and are very proud to continue to help protect this ecologically and culturally significant island.
Those who would like to visit this gem of an island can do so on the May long weekend; the only time the island is open to the public.
