What the heck are you doing with the DVDs you get before me???!!! The steps are simple...take DVD out of sleeve, put DVD in player, enjoy, put DVD back into sleeve, send to Netflix.
I swear whoever had CSI season three before me used it to wipe their tile floors and practice their sandpaper technique!
I can't remember what he was ranting about, it was all a bit stream of consciousness.
I do remember it being amusing though :o)

As an ordained minister myself these street preachers screaming scripture at passers-by really kind of scare me for some reason. I took his photo but didn't listen to much of his rant.
So, this rant has nothing to do with the photo...and if I'd been the passenger today, instead of the driver, I would've had the driver stop so I could take the photo to fit with this rant.
Here goes:
You know one thing that I really really hate... ok, so you're driving in the city and you can see a car up ahead that's stopped with hazards on blocking the lane (right around rush hour too). Now, I realize that sometimes this is necessary and most people only stop for a brief moment to let someone in/out or whatever. Fine. BUT what I HATE is when that person stops in the middle of the lane with said hazards on RIGHT NEXT TO A PERFECTLY GOOD AND LARGER THAN NEEDED PARKING SPOT!
I've decided that these people should be crashed into. I mean that. I think that the city should hire ME to go out with an old beat up car, just to patrol the city streets and PLOW into those people. I would enjoy myself. Immensely methinks.
Now, I'm sure that most people will just look at this photo and move on b/c it's not that exciting...but i needed somewhere to vent this and I told my mother I was going to do it here. So, there. I hate that shit.
I was at a dinner recently at a friend's house. The usual happened: I had my camera with me and ended up taking pictures for everybody. The big body of the dSLR draws attention rather quickly. One big disadvantage of having one. The funny thing is, there were at least 3 dSLRs in the house and I ended up taking the pictures because of my fast lens and the good results in the low light there. Kit lenses on the others didn't help even with a tripod..(and they were Canon =P hehe).
So, at some point of the night, I was asked about the camera - what make it is, what lens I am using and so on. The person asking told me how he was determined to buy the same camera (D90), how he uses a point and shoot at the moment. I saw myself in his shoes not too long ago. I kind of missed my good old Sony PnS.
Then came the question, "What do you photograph?". I began to answer fully knowing what to say. Or so I thought. I quickly recovered (with my flickr stream uploads in mind) by saying I am in to food photography recently. "Oh really?..that's interesting!", came the reply. I smiled back awkwardly relapsing in to a deep confusing state of not knowing what I really photograph. I came home, went to sleep, woke up and had one whole day pass by. I still do not know what I photograph. All I know is, it's not just food.
This rant comes from another bothering thought at the back of my mind. I think a lot of people I have come to meet have this idea of there being only a camera behind any picture. Behind every picture, there's a camera for sure. But behind every camera, there's a person. I wish there was a more general appreciation of that fact =)
Thank you for listening. I hope you like this shot taken with the Cybershot I once owned.

More than 40,000 deaths in traffic accidents last year! 40,000 deaths in ONE YEAR.
On another hand:
Nationals of the seven countries singled out by Trump for the "Travel Ban" have killed zero people in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1975 and 2015. ZERO.
So, for sure, let's keep people from some Muslim countries out even though they are not the countries from which terrorists come to do us harm.
www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/01/trump-i...
Let's ignore countries from which the 9/11 terrorists came because they have oil we need and the "President" has business interests in them.
Let's build The Wall to make sure we keep out the people who do the work US citizens don't want to do.
I can't even imagine how far all that money and effort could go to help make highways, cars, and drivers safer.
My super-rant ahead: The common belief of how trees became petrified is a myth of science. Petrified wood, and all the formations of the US Southwest, are brimming with strong evidence of a world-wide flood that covered the earth several thousand years ago, and quickly burried these trees under mud and sediment. The cystalization process was quite quick, compared to accepted scientific timeframes. (Info for that here: earthage.org/EarthOldorYoung/scientific_evidence_for_a_worldwide_flood.htm)
There is ample evidence for this account, but that evidence is ignored, so you won't hear any of it in the media. Or if you do hear it, it's derided with all manner of logical falacies and strawman arguments to discredit, and make the other positions look weak and ill-conceived. It's no wonder that the common man doesn't give such arguments a second thought, trusting "the experts" instead.
However, giving attention to the other side of such arguments would expose the flimsy foundations of mainstream science (i.e. beliefs like: everything came from nothing, big bang, evolution, universe/earth are billions of years old, no god, we are insignificant specs of dust in an endless universe, this reality and all you see is just convenient coincidence, etc).
Mainstream science is very much a faith-based religion, albeit a well disguised one. They have woven a false belief system with just enough truth sprinkled in to keep people invested in it, as the one-and-only possible view of how the world works and our place in it. This system continues to push the mainstream narrative without question, ignoring evidence, obfuscating, leading public opinion away from questioning the version of reality they're given, and away from the overwhelming proof of there being One true Creator of all things, our significance and our purpose in His design.
Science has been built on a foundation of deceit through its heavily controlled and funded, but extremely dumbed-down egocentric legions of scientists (scientific priests) for centuries to give the public a form of stiffled scientific advancement, while keeping them ignorant, and dismissive of anything that stands to question the foundational beliefs of science. Scientists who DO question and consider exposing the problems with their "on the shoulders of giants" textbook assumptions, face ridicule in their industries and career suicide.
This is why I always say, if you care to get closer to the truth of earth's past, humanity's past, the purpose of life, and where we're going, you have to accept that truth is never given so easily. But since most of us want it to be that easy, the con artists running this world are only too happy to oblige, at your expense.
Truth has to be diligently sought out, outside of mainstream circles. media, academia and the well funded religion of science will never admit that they've been wrong. Too much is at stake, too many jobs and industries, cultures, false religions and manmade institutions would be disrupted or dissolve entirely. That won't be allowed to happen, so the chrarade will continue.
Yeshua (Jesus) said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me."
The road to the truth is in Him, and He reveals these things to us if we strip away the layers of nonsense we've been taught all our lives.

Someone posted this handwritten message on an art poster. I don’t know what it means. But it sounds poetic. Why post a Finnish message in Rotterdam, where no one knows Finnish?
Kysy kadulla joltakin, tietaako han kuka on Tarja Halonen.
Google translate: Ask any of the streets, tietaako han who is
Wikipedia: Tarja Kaarina Halonen is the current President of Finland.
Here's the next image in my batch of hockey shots, this time from the Five Counties Hockey League premier division match between Bedford Hockey Club ladies second XI and Bishops Stortford Hockey Club ladies seconds.
This is Jenna yelling at the umpire over a decision she obviously didn't like. The game finished in a close fought 2-0 victory for Bedford.
On a freezing cold January morning with the sun out I was able to use ISO 100. I set the camera up in manual mode to avoid inconsistent metering by the camera but due to light cloud cover did have to alter the shutter speed from time to time.

Gamification is the education topic du jour. With new game-based learning environments being touted as a solution to all the problems of the modern classroom, we urge the G4C community to question trends before investing in them. Provocative voices from diverse sides of the gaming-for-learning industry rant against the idea that any of the models already in use are particularly effective applications of video games in the classroom. Attendees may get puzzled or confused, or simply take away a new lens for looking at gamifying schools (or schoolifying games).
(note: these pictures were taken the day before, and i wasn't serious. i didn't know that i would have a completely crappy day.)
this is to my boyfriend who is currently not answering my messages.
i nearly passed out in dance class today, and i'm still not back to my regular color. my face was completely red. i was panting for about 15 minuets. my mother was so scared, she got my food and everything for me and made me sit down.
my mom made me cry in front of melbas, chewing me out today. it isn't your fault at all, but still it made me feel horrible.
you make me feel nasty. i feel like i need to go scrub myself and coat myself with deodorant and perfume. if you planned to tell me gently, you failed. miserably. i want to take three showers, i feel like a complete slob. thank you.
my mother is bleeding again. i think she has another tumor, and i'm not sure if she'll be so lucky this time. last time it was just fibroid, but she stopped taking the medication, so it was supposed to go away, and it had. i'm really scared it's something a lot worse this time. i'm so scared it's cancer. i really don't want to lose my mom.
i'm not done with my book, and i hardly read today. i really don't want school to come. i hate people. people ruin everything. i thought about skipping, but that would get me into even more trouble.
i finally finished everything for my stc class. i'm not writing any more papers for that guy. i hate writing so much.
i want to put my hair up. i like it, but i want it out of my face. i miss my little tinker-bell bun.
i feel miserable. my face is broken out, and my contacts aren't agreeing with my eyes at all. make-up makes me look trashy. my room is a complete and total mess and i don't know where to put things. i'm so overwhelmed right now, it makes me scared for school even more. i can't imagine what it'll feel like with the stress of class, and other things on my shoulders as well.
i want to go away.
far away.
Before you begin reading this you should know that I am a very sensitive person and get upset kind of easily
I don't think I will ever post a picture of mine to Hit/Miss/Maybe, EVER again. The last picture I posted got some really nice helpful or complimentary comments, they were really cool! But then, :"( I got a comment that was an INSULT, it wasn't telling me what I could improve on, it was telling everything wrong with the picture! They could have at least put it in the form of advice and not insulting me :((( the worst part is I thought this person was my friend (most of you think of her as your friend too which is why I'm not saying her name, you can find her comment or Flickr mail me if you want to know who it was) and so the comment hurt even more... I was sitting on the couch last night with the iPad in my lap (on Flickr) with tears in my eyes thinking "was it really THAT BAD?". The comment made me rethink flickr, no it did not make me rethink photography, at all! I love taking pictures! It's FUN for me! I look at every thing as if I'm looking through my camera :) (I cross my eyes a lot to see bokeh xD) it made me rethink ever posting another picture to Flickr :( (this one is an exception because I needed to rant) it probably won't happen but I definitely will not be posting anymore pictures to hit/miss/maybe -_-

Make your own.
The concept sounds good...charge your phone at the airport!
But it's located in baggage claim -- when all you want to do is exit the airport. Charging me for electricity seems more opportunistic than helpful ($3 for 30 minutes which is said to "charge a cell phone up
to twice as fast as a standard wall charger. 30 minutes equals a 50 percent charge.
Plus there is one small bench located next to this, you better hope more than one or two people use it at a time or you'll have to hover and make sure no one walks off with your gear.
The only way I see this being helpful is if you lost your power cord and are low on battery and must get a charge in between. Even then, how connected must you be at all times?
Can you tell I am not the target customer?
