GravatarNew thread - so question for digital camera experts.

I want a good digital SLR with manual override for taking artsy fartsy pictures. Also want a good amount of memory. Also, I'm not made of money. I can't go higher than $500 and it would be best if I didn't have to go higher than $300. Any suggestions?


GravatarHey Tom - 大肚腩

Well, the "accuracy" part comes from exposure to Olbermann.

And a sense of decency.

I know, VERY outdated. But as my identity implies, I'm partial to the Murrow era.


GravatarBONER!

Just really wanted to say that.

GravatarI'm just grateful. Sat through too many 900+ threads -- plus Blogspot wasn't happening at all while I was stuck at work waiting for traffic to die down, so I couldn't throw electrons around with you good folks.

I worry she didn't leave him for his lack of political conviction but for his lack of testicular declension.


GravatarGee, cheryl crow & lance armstrong split.

death & taxes.


GravatarJennifer, though when I added in "DSLR" to the search "digital camera" I found nothing Below $550.00 and that was a Nikon body with no lenses.

On second thought maybe ebay doesn't have what you want.

Some of the digital cameras that are DSLR like cameras without the removable lenses might be less then $500.00 and would give you the features you really need.

GravatarHey scoop!


GravatarOh, and here's a reminder of how Joe "WATB" Klein furiously attacked Jacob Weisberg in a restaurant for "falsely" accusing him of being the author of Primary Colors.

People forget that Klein had for months been suspected of being the author, but had heatedly denied it. And of course Newsweek stood behind him all the way -- and instead of firing his ass when he was shown to be lying, went after his critics hammer and tongs.

SWEATY BLOGGER: Crap!

He gets up, but is distracted by an iron-shaped object on the mantlepiece.

GravatarSandy--a fraction of 0 = 0.
Sallyh, Madame Poissonniere

Then why does it say 'error' on my calculator?


GravatarHi, all.

While we're waiting for the next thread, consider responding to this:
2/3/06

Friends,

How would you like to be in my next movie? I know you've probably heard I'm making a documentary about the health care industry (but the HMOs don't know this, so don't tell them -- they think I'm making a romantic comedy).

If you've followed my work over the years, you know that I keep a pretty low profile while I'm making my movies. I don't give interviews, I don't go on TV and I don't defrost my refrigerator. I do keep my website updated on a daily basis (there's been something like 4,000,000 visitors just this week alone) and the rest of the time I'm... well, I can't tell you what I'm doing, but you can pretty much guess. It gets harder and harder sneaking into corporate headquarters, but I've found that just dying my hair black and wearing a skort really helps.

Back to my invitation to be in my movie. Have you ever found yourself getting ready to file for bankruptcy because you can't pay your kid's hospital bill, and then you say to yourself, "Boy, I sure would like to be in Michael Moore's health care movie!"?

Or, after being turned down for the third time by your HMO for an operation they should be paying for, do you ever think to yourself, "Now THIS travesty should be in that 'Sicko' movie!"?

Or maybe you've just been told that your father is going to have to just, well, die because he can't afford the drugs he needs to get better -- and it's then that you say, "Damn, what did I do with Michael Moore's home number?!"

OK, here's your chance. As you can imagine, we've got the goods on these crooks. All we need now is to put a few of you in the movie and let the world see what the greatest country ever in the history of the universe does to its own people, simply because they have the misfortune of getting sick. Because getting sick, unless you are rich, is a crime -- a crime for which you must pay, sometimes with your own life.

About four hundred years from now, historians will look back at us like we were some sort of barbarians, but for now we're just the laughing stock of the Western world.

So, if you'd like me to know what you've been through with your insurance company, or what it's been like to have no insurance at all, or how the hospitals and doctors wouldn't treat you (or if they did, how they sent you into poverty trying to pay their crazy bills) ...if you have been abused in any way by this sick, greedy, grubby system and it has caused you or your loved ones great sorrow and pain, let me know.

Send me a short, factual account of what has happened to you -- and what IS happening to you right now if you have been unable to get the health care you need. Send it to michael@michaelmoore.com. I will read every single one of them (even if I can't respond to or help everyone, I will be able to bring to light a few of your stories).

Thank you in advance for sharing them with me and trusting me to try and do something about a very c

I think she looks great!


Gravatarsallyh,
here's something for you...


GravatarOh, the rest:
Thank you in advance for sharing them with me and trusting me to try and do something about a very corrupt system that simply has to go.

Oh, and if you happen to work for an HMO or a pharmaceutical company or a profit-making hospital and you have simply seen too much abuse of your fellow human beings and can't take it any longer -- and you would like the truth to be told -- please write me at michael@michaelmoore.com. I will protect your privacy and I will tell the world what you are unable to tell. I am looking for a few heroes with a conscience. I know you are out there.

Thank you, all of you, for your help and your continued support through the years. I promise you that with "Sicko" we will do our best to give you not only a great movie, but a chance to bring down this evil empire, once and for all.

In the meantime, stay well. I hear fruits and vegetables help.

Yours,
Michael Moore

I'm just south of Brew City, I'm concerned if this warm weather continues and things start breaking dormancy, we'll get a -0 snap in late Feb, doing some real damage.

Mom's old place is just west of Mitchell Field...Iris leaves are greening up. But no overly-swollen buds on the crabapple...yet.

The air mass in Canada looks pretty potent - we'll probably get much colder for awhile, but I think the worst will go east. Sorry, NTodd, Eli, Watertiger, Thers, NYMary, etc...


Gravatarlet me know when there's a new thread. i don't have the energy to check tonight.


GravatarBOEHNER GETS HEAD JOB!


I guess he had some pull!


GravatarParticularly since he seems to be threatening to bring bad joke books into my house, as per metacomments.

I wonder if I still have the one from *my* childhood. I *still* use one of the gags in it from time to time...


GravatarI read the new Vonnegut book last week. He says many funny things, but one of the funniest is when he talks about how he is 82 years old, and he can't believe that the leaders of his country are named Bush, Dick and Colin.

It kills 2,000 innocent pedestrians with a single gulp, bit sinde it also eats Gary Ruppert, most people are cool with this. But then... in an act of Utter Depravity -- It checks into a NON-UNION HOTEL! Screams of despair reach the High Heavens.

GravatarThe latest revelations about Bushboy planning on making war on Iraq regardless of what the weapon inspectors found, as he told Blair, and the fact that he considered sending American spy planes disguised as UN planes is just another overt piece of evidence for the depraved moron's impeachment.

At some point, I expect we will find out the Bush had some plan that involved sharks with frickin' lasers, that was nixed only after Blair had convinced him that there aren't any sharks in the desert.

GravatarThe desolation of winter is good for the soul. It reminds us that our existence is temporary and that the cycle of life continues unabated.

There is a mercy in the stillness of the winter fog that belies the turmoil of life continuing. For within the darkness of the winter's night lie the promises of spring days and the sun's warmth returning. It is not a pleasant time but it is not unpleasant either: it is.

I have thought about this crazy place I live in and I am reminded that the change is important. For in knowing change we understand our lives a little better.

Gravatar"Tenth Planet" Larger Than Pluto, Study Confirms
http://news.nationalgeographic.c...html? source=rss

Scientists have measured the size of a solar system object discovered last year and confirmed that it is larger than Pluto.

The icy object, called 2003 UB313, is located in the far reaches of the solar system. It measures 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) in diameter. Pluto, by contrast, measures 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers).

The finding has fueled the debate over what constitutes a planet. Pluto is traditionally considered the ninth planet in our solar system (see interactive map).

Some scientists argue that 2003 UB313 should now be considered the tenth planet of our solar system. Others say Pluto's status as a planet should be reconsidered.

"Since UB313 is decidedly larger than Pluto, it is now increasingly hard to justify calling Pluto a planet if UB313 is not also given this status," said Frank Bertoldi, an astronomer at the University of Bonn and Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy in Germany.

Bertoldi led the study, which will be reported in tomorrow's issue of the journal Nature.

it actually gets pretty cold in albuquerque. it's about the same altitude as denver. and as for desolation, well, it's in the middle of the fucking desert. there is actually a full blown autumn here too. it's all cottonwoods and they just turn yellow, and they only grow along the river. but it's pretty cool. lately it has been very cold and windy and dusty. it often gets very cloudy too, but it never rains or snows for some reason.

GravatarWell, since we're looking for story lines...

Threadbot comes to the lair of a record collector and vintage zealot in Southern Wisconsin. Threadbot is overwhelmed by the stacks of 45s, LPs, and 78s. It listens, transfixed, to trivial anecdotes about each recording.

Then it smells the bakery downstairs, and scrambles down the stairs - only to be met by a brigade of bakers, armed with trays of pazcki.

It eats all the bakery's pazcki, but soon discovers that many were filled with the traditional Polish filling: prunes.

Within hours, it is writhing in flatulant distress, and subdued by the remaining Atriots. And the world is saved.

Hugh Kingsmill

What, still alive at twenty-two,
A fine upstanding chap like you?
Sure, if your throat 'tis hard to slit,
Slit your girl's, and swing for it.

Like enough, you won't be glad
When they come to hang you, lad;
But bacon's not the only thing
That's cured by hanging from a string.

So, when the spilt ink of the night
Spreads o'er the blotting pad of light,
Lads whose job is still to do
Shall whet their knives, and think of you.

GravatarAnd what steals wingers' brains, I wonder?

Something really really small.


GravatarRain? What is "rain" ?

What we've been getting instead of snow.


GravatarWhen's Scene 24?

There is No scene 24...


GravatarStill fighting the good fight, eh loser moonbats?


GravatarMANIMAL!


Gravatarthe funniest thread ever


GravatarHow did Coulter and Hughes get into this Threadbot Armagedon?


Gravatar Rain? What is "rain" ?

Rain and rain! What is rain?

C'mere. Lemme tell you ALL ABOUT rain. Or, you could go to the top of this thread and just read me bitchin' about it over and over.


GravatarScene 242:
The enemy has night vision goggles! Our starched clothes are giving away our position! We must take them off!

Scene 342:
Damn it! The special science grease we've spent the past hour rubbing onto eachother is actually the vector of the bioweapon! We must wash it off immediately!

Scene 432:
The President insists that we clone us up some antidote, but first we must dance at the discotheque -- which is actually a bomb!


GravatarThere is No scene 24...

Well, shit.


GravatarHow did Coulter and Hughes get into this Threadbot Armagedon?

Man/Woman Hybrids.


GravatarRain? What is "rain" ?

Well, one of the star strippers at the bar I used to manage was named "Rayne." When his brother joined on, he took the name "Storm."

He was definitely, empirically, overcompensating.


GravatarI think I know which science babe gets devoured.

You must answer me these questions three

What is your quest?

GravatarTHE LEAGUE OF SCANTILY CLAD SCIENCE BABES!

NO MAN-WOMANIMAL HYBRIDS!

As long as we're scantily clad, I see no need for rewrites.

Can I get a quorum?

Senator Man-on-Dog, take the roll-call.


GravatarI could be an engineer babe. For variable values of babe. It's kinda cold out for scantily-clad, though.


Gravatarmoonbats are cat with wings and limitless vision...


GravatarYeah, you are right. NYMary is probably more useless


Gravatarthis is the scifi thread. more script, less trolls.

Figures that an independent creature that kowtows to no one would be anathema to a winger.


Gravatar Can I help with set design?

Costuming is an easier job. Most of the cast are scantily clad, and several are pantless.


GravatarSCENE TWENTY-FOUR. THe Old Man from Scene Twenty-Four notices the lack of Scene-Twenty-Four and is devoured by THREADBOT to avoid paying him a per diem, as Sci-Fi is a cheap network. The producers of this turkey contemplate a similar move for WGG, but think twice and just have a mug of cocoa instead.

SCENE THREE HUNDRED FIVE. ECHIDNE and KARIN inform the LEAGUE OF HOT SCIENCE BABES that THREADBOT is about to eat NTODD, ELI, and RORSCHACH. They all decide to take ACTION, in the form of having a nice brunch with very nice mimosas.

A hearty BONER! and a fond goodnight to you all.

GravatarI once killed a threadbot with my bare hands.


GravatarDrivin' by with a quick hello. I could sense that bacon was being discussed, if ever so briefly. Gotta get up early for a class I'm taking.

One thing: has anybody heard anything about when The Switch-Hitting Manimals go on tour?


Gravatar"he spent all of 90 seconds on the balcony, before bolting back inside. He's a wet... kitty, now."

Such a silly boy! But he sure does provide laughs.

OK. So first Harry Belafonte says that Colin Powell is a liar and a house nigger. People laughed at him and called him nuts. He was right.

Then Kanye West says that Bush doesn't care about black people. People say he's being extreme. Then Bush's sycophants come out and use THOSE EXACT WORDS about Egyptians.

So Kanye West was right.

Maybe Tom Tomorrow, Jon Stewart and some other liberals should think about the above while they're trashing Cindy Sheehan for being "extreme".

Have you ever read Lord Jim? The racist fuckstick German ship's captain could be Derbyshire:

a look back; and when clear of confining rails spread on all sides over the deck, flowed forward and aft, overflowed down the yawning hatchways, filled the inner recesses of the ship -- like water filling a cistern, like water flowing into crevices and crannies, like water rising silently even with the rim. Eight hundred men and women with faith and hopes, with affections and memories, they had collected there, coming from north and south and from the outskirts of the East, after treading the jungle paths, descending the rivers, coasting in praus along the shallows, crossing in small canoes from island to island, passing through suffering, meeting strange sights, beset by strange fears, upheld by one desire. They came from solitary huts in the wilderness, from populous campongs, from villages by the sea. At the call of an idea they had left their forests, their clearings, the protection of their rulers, their prosperity, their poverty, the surroundings of their youth and the graves of their fathers. They came covered with dust, with sweat, with grime, with rags -- the strong men at the head of family parties, the lean old men pressing forward without hope of return; young boys with fearless eyes glancing curiously, shy little girls with tumbled long hair; the timid women muffled up and clasping to their breasts, wrapped in loose ends of soiled head-cloths, their sleeping babies, the unconscious pilgrims of an exacting belief.

'Look at dese cattle,' said the German skipper to his new chief mate.

GravatarFrom tomorrow's NY Times:

Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff told prosecutors that Mr. Cheney had informed him "in an off sort of curiosity sort of fashion" in mid-June 2003 about the identity of the C.I.A. officer at the heart of the leak case, according to a formerly secret legal opinion, parts of which were made public on Friday.

I. Lewis Libby Jr., former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, leaving a federal court in Washington Friday with Theodore V. Wells Jr., his lawyer. Jury selection in the case will begin next January.

The newly released pages were part of a legal opinion written in February 2005 by Judge David S. Tatel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. His opinion disclosed that the former chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby Jr., acknowledged to prosecutors that he had heard directly from Mr. Cheney about the Central Intelligence Agency officer, Valerie Wilson, more than a month before her identity was first publicly disclosed on July 14, 2003, by a newspaper columnist.

"Nevertheless," Judge Tatel wrote, "Libby maintains that he was learning about Wilson's wife's identity for the first time when he spoke with NBC Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert on July 10 or 11." Mr. Russert denied Mr. Libby's account. Ms. Wilson is married to Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former ambassador who has criticized the Bush administration's Iraq policy...

GravatarConrad was actually a bit of a racist and Anglophile but if you read Lord Jim you can see how he's different from the modern racist.

He had a sense of Victorian honor. So Jim's abandonning 800 Muslim pilgrams to their death was a discrace because it meant he violated that code.

He would have probably written Derbyshire up as some sort of vulgar caricature, the kind of white man with no honor or chivalry.

hey, i have a volkswagen quantum that is running a little rough. do you think you could fix it?


GravatarNTodd,

How did the end of LA Story turn out?


GravatarI know Bush has a problem with man/animal hybrids, but I have to believe he would be cool with half man/half machine creatures.

And if I want to apply to be a "science babe," do I have to actually know something about science?


GravatarHey, am I really banned?
Marcia Brady


No, but would you like to be fanned?


GravatarRestraining orders provoke violence.


GravatarNTodd--not your fault the fucking server's hosed.

There are many other things I can blame you for. You, and Eli.


GravatarSo that's why you refer to watertiger as a brick



house.


Yes. The only reason.

*looks nervously around for Marcia*


GravatarBush Dictatorship: FIERY WRECK!!


Gravatarhey, i have a volkswagen quantum that is running a little rough. do you think you could fix it?

You want him to take it out for a spin?


GravatarNo -- the space time continuum has been irreparably warped. That will not be your mind for another 26 eons....
flory



*sigh*

I hate it when that happens.


GravatarAnd if I want to apply to be a "science babe," do I have to actually know something about science?

you just have to be a babe with glasses and long hair up in a bun.


GravatarMarcia B--I can teach you everything you need to know to be a science babe in 5 minutes or less.

Knowing science is not the most important part of being a hot science babe.


GravatarMarcia!!!

Were you banned? You naughty girl.


GravatarHow did the end of LA Story turn out?

They all died.

Hey, am I really banned?

Everywhere...except IN MY PANTS!

Ooh, did I say that out loud?


GravatarGordo, the Spanish language and Portuguese language meaning for "fat".


GravatarAnd if I want to apply to be a "science babe," do I have to actually know something about science?

You just have to look good in a lab coat.


And out of.


GravatarC Scrute; Nyet problemyi, dude. Yellow Shark is the one that I'd do hard time for, myself. I spotted it once, but was on dialup, and the opportunity passed. It'll come around again, though.
I find myself perversely wishing the guy who did the vidcap had included the bracketing commercials, though.
Can't believe I actually said that...


GravatarFUCK BSUH


GravatarYes. I can't see you at all, so you might as well take your top off and get comfortable.

GravatarFUCK BUSH even


Gravatar"No -- the space time continuum has been irreparably warped. That will not be your mind for another 26 eons...."

That means he cannot be held responsible for his actions in this current time frame. Seems like a good deal.


GravatarAnd if I want to apply to be a "science babe," do I have to actually know something about science?


Don't be silly.

You just need to be long-legged and be willing to either a) carry a beaker b) stare at a computer screen and mutter dire scientific mumbo-jumbo c) carry a backpack that makes your bresticies thrust out or d) be willing to get killed, eaten or mated to a gruesome creature.

Or, for bonus points e) all of the above.


Gravatarhey, i have a volkswagen quantum that is running a little rough. do you think you could fix it?


The best solution is to drop it from about 1000ft right on top of the oval orifice. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.


GravatarOh, Zap: I'll be in your neck of the woods for a few days, but will be unable to visit the Lake Harriet Elf or you due to time constraints.

Duh. The being HOT part is the most important bit. And for science geeks, hotness is totally relative. Temperature, on the other hand, is absolute.

I do not ask those presently serving because theirs is not to reason why. but you are here and with almost half a brain, does Mr. bush lead you as a Commander or as an artifice? pretender?

Gravatar NTodd--how're NTodd's Pa and NTodd's Pa's Wife doing with the kids?

They did well, so I expect they will again starting Sunday.

Mostly NTodd's Pa stayed overnight this week because Mex still doesn't do the "personal space" thing well, 'specially with his paws, and NTodd Pa's Wife is quite leery of getting scratched in the throat area since she's going in for thyroid surgery Monday. But he's taken them in to the pack, which is good.

Sam is still afraid of people (other than Daddy and Mommy-the-Abandoner), so he hides for the most part when they sit.

GravatarThere's a line in Shopgirl - Steve Martin asks Claire Danes whether she has a good relationship with her father. She pauses and then says he doesn't talk much. Then adds, since Vietnam.


GravatarDid you know Walter Neff almost starred in "Sunset Blvd"? (via imdb.com)

Montgomery Clift, signed to play the part of Joe Gillis, broke his contract just two weeks prior to the start of shooting. Billy Wilder quickly offered the role to Fred MacMurray, who turned it down because he didn't want to play a gigolo. Marlon Brando was considered, but the producers thought he was too much of an unknown as a film actor. Gene Kelly was then approached, but MGM refused to loan him out. Reluctantly, Wilder met with William Holden, whose films to that time had not impressed Wilder. They eventually worked together on several films and became longtime friends.

And here's why I'll always love Billy Wilder:

Upon seeing the film at a star-studded preview screening at Paramount, MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer screamed at Wilder that he should be tarred, feathered and horse-whipped for bringing his profession into such disrepute. Wilder's response was a terse, "Fuck you."


Gravatartroll, what happened?

Really if the technology existed at this time to replace damaged body parts, I (and I suspect this is true of the wingers) would be in line for them if the parts could keep you from dying.

It's not much different then surgery. No one in their right mind (except for the rich ladies in Palm Springs who have their bi-annual face and body lifts) would undergo the torture. But if it's that or die, the choice is very simple.


GravatarNTodd--Sam is such a total pussy. Best wishes to NTodd's Pa's Wife for her surgery on Monday. Hope all goes well.

For that you still need a clean line of stem cells, unless someone has found a way to undifferentiate cell.

My grandmother's brother fought in the Pacific. A really funny guy. He never would talk about his experiences, but he never got over his intense hatred of "the japs."

I also had a friend in college whose father was interned in a Japanese internment camp. He wouldn't talk about that, either.


GravatarEvery thread gets hijacked...


GravatarDoug--as for usable stem cell lines, there aren't enough, and most of them are still contaminated.


GravatarOne of Zapette's sisters went to school in Bennington.

I almost went there. But at the time, it was the most expensive private school in the US, slightly more expensive than Colby, and I was a bit turned off by the washing machine sculpture I saw on the quad. Plus Colby's architecture struck me as more college-esque.

The two things that differentiate you from the trolls - you're belief in what you say, your narcissism, and you're pantlessn--- THREE! THREE things!


GravatarI don't see why the troll is obsessing about service. In spite of the Hollywood movies about war, there's nothing glorious about seeing (and possibly making some your self) dead bodies. They stink and attract flies if they are not put into a body bag quickly enough.

The injured vetrans that come home is a whole other question. They have maybe gotten the worse part of the deal. Many do not totally recover, and still have to try to live their life that way from then on.


Gravatar,i>Montgomery Clift, signed to play the part of Joe Gillis, broke his contract just two weeks prior to the start of shooting.

Cameron Crowe's "Converstations With Wilder" book is pretty interesting. Outside of the odd interview where Wilder contradicted an earlier story he told (he was, after all, in his nineties), the book is fun. Wilder says, in the book, that Clift passed on the role in "Sunset Boulevard" at the last minute because he was involved with an older woman, and seemed to be afraid that the press would see too many similarities between real life and the movies.

Watched "Stalag 17," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Bridge On the River Kwai" today; Holden at his cynical best. Great stuff for an old movie junkie like myself.


GravatarNTodd,

Email where you will be in town. I will make an effort to come and see ya..

Good night, all.

Enjoy some cats.


GravatarJeff--depends. Do you need to grow the trees from seed?

I've got some date palms just sprouting and some kaffir limes as well. Which shouldn't be confused with Kufr the troll that will be the test case for the online harassment law.


Gravatarundifferentiated cells are being examined. A lot of biochemistry is being done to determine what precursors are in place and what signals need to occur, etc.

OK, you scared me for a moment about using differentiated cells. That's much more advanced than I thought our science was capable of now.


GravatarBeauty is truth, truth beauty.

False.


GravatarHas a differentiated cell lost something or gained something?


GravatarIn theory, I'm #1000!

Woo hoo!!!


Gravatarhere's just one funny thing. my best friend's father who marched all acrost sfrica and up it'ly. if you were to ask him what kind of people live in it'ly, he would tell you with a perfectly straight face . . . "eyetalians". that's kind of a baltimore thing though. not really a wwii veteran thing.


Gravatardifferentiated cell lost something or gained something?

Sallyh would be able to answer this better, but I'll take a swing.

It's a question of re-ordering celluar and genetic information to a different information state. Much like trying to unscramble an egg.


GravatarWhen they come to take you down when they bring that wagon ’round
When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don’t tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don’t tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight. how come you lay awake all night long
