My first computer! A very very rare bit of personal computing history. My parents bought it when I was about 3 or 4.
Green and black screen, tape cassette loading, buzzer sounds (beep beep)... It operated in machine code when you switch it on so you had to load BASIC before you could load any programs. (BASIC cassette tape was in the player when I dug it out)

Life Bird #59
I was standing in my living room looking out my front window when I saw a large bird out of the corner of my eye, swoop down heading to what I thought was my bird feeder but landed on some fence sections we still had in the yard from out holiday decorations. I thought it was one of the scub jays but to my surprise it was this hawk. I've had other hawks land on my side fence but wasn't able to get a shot. I stood there just watching him for a little while, when I heard my husband come in from the back yard I told him to walk over slowly so he could see him before he flew away. I decided to get my camera out of the back room but figured I wouldn't be able to get a shot b/c I would have to raise the blind and doing so would scare him away but as you can see I was able to get it raised enough. He stayed there for awhile after I got the shot but the neighbor came over to work on the house and scared him away..I believe they hang around my house b/c of all the sparrows and other small birds that come to my feeder. I think it great that I don't have to go out looking for these birds, they just come to me...lol I put it up for ID b/c I wasn't sure if it was a Cooper's or Sharp-Shinned Hawk..I was leaning more towards the Sharp-Shinned and I was correct..I wish it was a better shot but I'm happy with it
**As always I appreciate all your comments…Thank You!!**

This adult Sharp-shinned Hawk made a kill in my yard today and then flew under my neighbor's outdoor playhouse to dine

A macro shot from Jewelry that is sharp from foreground to background? With a fullframe camera? Well, yes, this is also possible without focus stacking --- just step down the aperture to f/20 and choose a far enough shooting distance. And then crop later-on.
+ fast
+ no stacking needed, no macro rail needed
+ no tripod needed (as you need only one shot)
+ resolution after the crop is still high enough for web
- overall decreased sharpness
- resolution is not high enough for print

Following the success of its LCD TV line, Sharp unleashed the new Aquos-technology-integrated phone, 920SH. It is part of Softbank new models. The 18 mm thin slim body implemented the technology found in Aquos for clear and superb quality. It is displayed in 3.2 inch VGA screen.
It has 2000:1 contrast ratio, which is good for its 480×854 pixels screen since today’s 32 inch LCD TV has about 7000 or 8000:1 contrast ratio. This phone also make a major movement to support 26 million colors. Also the reinforce glass coating will make it visible to see the display clearly under sunny sunlight.
The phone will be available in several colors, which are gold, silver, black, light blue, and pink. Besides its crisp LCD technology, the phone will be equipped with 3.2 megapixels camera, stereo Bluetooth, HSDPA, and GSM support for international support.
The sharpest curve that I've ever seen...
More than 180 deg. sharp turn...
Seen on our way going to Canla-on, Negros Oriental.
I thought I'd have a little fotoshop fun with this image. I happened to be in the kitchen when a large blur of feathers outside prompted me to exclaim "What's that!". I stepped back for a better view and I saw this thing sitting on our fence. My camera was close at hand and this is the result. A nice adult Sharp-shinned Hawk.
The small group of four of us, who drove around all day in the south west quadrant of Nanton and the surrounding areas for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, were very lucky to see a total of 70 of these fascinating Sharp-tailed Grouse (split up in several different locations). Their numbers seem to vary greatly from year to year. We pulled over to take a good look at this one high up in a tree, and my friends were very patient, giving me the chance to photograph it. This angle is a little "different", but at least there are no small twigs across its face and body, LOL, unlike the other shots I got : ) Aren't they just beautiful birds? Love those gorgeous feather patterns. And yes, you do have to smile at those wonderful, feathery legs. A very heavily cropped photo, by the way, but even so, this was the closest and best view I'd ever had of one before.
The helpful lady from the Coroner's Office in England called a short while ago and left a message with the results of my brother's autopsy - natural causes, Ischaemic Heart Disease. I was up to about 5:00 a.m. this morning, I think, trying to find a few songs/music that felt right for John's funeral. I went to YouTube to listen to various ideas, but I'm still not sure how I can get some of these choices from "here" to "there" (Birmingham) : ) I wasn't thinking very clearly and just saved the songs from YouTube - which I read later doesn't work (for obvious copyright reasons, I guess). I think my friend in England said that the funeral place has a list of music to choose from, but of course there are so many versions of, say, Amazing Grace, that I'm not sure how I know what version would be played. Any help/suggestions from anyone who has had to do this, would be much appreciated. Now that the autopsy results are known, I know that time for getting things done is running out rapidly.
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my good friend, George (George Dixon) today!
I never asked, nor wanted more than I needed: A kind word,
a soft touch, a true feeling, warmth, understanding...
Couldn’t she see?
Sharpness, I got;
Cold, I got;
Lifeless, I got;
Tired, I got;
Challenges, I got;
Contests, shouting, elbow and back, all these I got!
Warmth, I wanted; Not much, I wanted; touch me, I wanted;
softness, I wanted; A smile, I needed; love, I craved!
I quickly turn away and where I look I see shadows.
Must I chase shadows for the rest of my life?
CIRY's sharp SW1200 crosses Cermak on its way out of BNSF's Western Avenue Yard. On their third to last trip, the little 1200 has a five cars for Domino Sugar and a single gone for the local scrap dealer.
Dat coat. I rarely put him in it, but man is it sexy. Sexy pirate! Though D is really not even remotely close to being a pirate. This outfit is so OOC for him. xD;
For all the years I've injected insulin I had no idea pharmacies will give you a Sharps Collector and take in back when it's full. I asked about this service and got mine today.
A sharp crystal evening, golden sunlight casting long blue shadows. What a joy to arrive in Lower Slaughter and wander along the river with only the ducks, the jackdaws and a few hardy visitors for company. The jackdaws seem at home in the trees along the River Eye, occasionally descending to hop along the rooftops or to peer at discarded bread crumbs with their grey heads at an angle. Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of slohtre, a marshy place. Many visit Bourton on the water fewer travel an extra mile to see Lower Slaughter it’s smaller, quieter but equally picturesque neighbour.
Stone cottages line the north bank of the river with a small green at their centre, this miniature area of grass is known as The Square and has a Gothic drinking fountain as it’s only adornment.The clear stream water is only visible as it eddies round the piers of the low stone bridges that span it’s broad flow. Follow the canalised river to the upper end of the village and you will find a 19th century brick corn mill with white water crashing over the mill race and 15ft water wheel still turning with the flow. On the opposite bank towards the middle of the village are the Village Hall of 1887 and the National School by Edmund B. Ferrey 1871. Near where the road crosses the river the south bank is dominated by large and luxurious-looking hotel.
The church was rebuilt in 1866-7 by Benjamin Ferrey, the design draws on Early English and Geometrical Decorated styles and though it replaced a picturesque medieval building with a saddle-back tower the Victorian design sits well among the more ancient stone buildings that surround it. Only a Transitional Norman north arcade survives with scalloped capitals and waterholding bases joined by pointed double-chamfered arches. The church has a nave with a north aisle, chancel, south porch and a west tower with broached spire the tip of which was replaced in 1998. Elegant black marble shafts ornament the chancel arch but a similar use of marble in Ferrey’s east window was lost when Hoare and Wheeler provided a new east window and an Italian alabaster reredos depicting the Crucifixion in 1910. Next to the altar a 13th century piscina survives from the older church. The stone font and pulpit are part of Ferrey’s design and there are areas of floor tiling by Godwin. The east window has glass by James Powell and Sons and they provided the attractive design in the north aisle. The west window of the north aisle and the west tower window are by Clayton and Bell 1867. Most of the memorials in the church commemorate the Whitmore family who occupied the neighbouring manor House for more than 300 years. The west tower has six bells, one of c.1450 by Robert Hendley of Gloucester inscribed Santa Anna ORA Pro Nobis St.Anne pray for us. Two are dated 1683 by Edward Neale of Burford and three of 1867 by John Warner and Sons of London.
To the north-east of the churchyard is a 16th century dovecote which is said to have held 1000 birds.
Lower Slaughter lies just off the Fosseway near Bourton on the Water about an hour form Stratford-upon-avon

If you are looking for an island with great white sand beaches, clear water swimming and a little adventure, Sharp island is for you. Just a short trip from Sai Kung pier, this is a great getaway both for sun seekers and hikers – even better if you want both.

This is a crop of a test shot of my bookshelf I did to see how sharp an image I could achieve with my D300 and Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. I shot at f/8 with an SB600 flash at max output, using a remote trigger and mirror up mode. It turned out really well - even at 300% edges are sharp and fine detail is visible. This is also a Lightroom test to see if its 90% JPEG setting yields visible artifacts in images with fine detail.
