Totally with you on the lose interest in the series thing. I also got tired of that "men are stupid" attitude lots of female characters had and the "women are crazy" attitude from lots of male characters. By the end of book 9 I could no longer care who lived or died or if they all blew themselves up. Now I prefer a seried like the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. Each book is a stand alone. The books are chronological and better

Reply to Does Anyone Buy a 35mm Camera Any More? in Photography JoeUser Forums

WWW Link This is a link to digital camera review site that I find really useful. Definitely check it out. This link goes directly to the Pentax camera I was writing about. Pentax 10K d. Be sure to look at this one and NOT the 100k which is a different camera. I have Canon gear myself. I started with a Canon SLR so I had two lenses already. I thought long and hard about Pentax, though because my Canon glass has been

Reply to Have You Ever Wondered Why Girls Like Pink More than Boys? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I think men like pink a lot. In Canada and the States, men don't wear pink clothes because it is seen as feminine. In Japan men wear more pink. I know a lot of guys who LOVE it when women wear pink. If they have to buy clothes for a woman, they usually buy pink because they like the color not because she does. In fact, I think my husband likes pink more than I do.

Karma is correct, the optics aren't the issue because pro-cannon lenses can be used on the SLR and the digital SLR. Processors are making the difference. Currently, a film camera can register a greater range of light (I think it is 3 stops on either end of light and dark). That means a digital camera will get less detail out of a shadowy area and the bright area than film will. Digitally, there are ways to composite an image to get more detail on each range but as a one shot deal, fi

Reply to OIL SHALE, What is America waiting for? in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

There has been a lot of advances in the technology in the last couple of years. In northern Alberta the oil sands project was/is a major undertaking that apparently the US is watching with great interest. My opinion? Probably the US was waiting for oil supply to dwindle (it's logical way to use resources to me-- use other people's stuff until it get too expensive not to. I had a roomie who was like that) and watching to see how the technology and the processing went in Canada. <b

Reply to I'm scared. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Congratulations for going back to school. When I was in uni I always had the greatest respect for the students who were older and coming back to school. They had such amazing focus and determination. I used to feel like that before a x-country ski race. Later I felt it when I started new things (mainly work)but didn't connect it to that racing feeling for a long time. That feeling stressed me out until I made that connection. All that fee

Oks, Thanks for replying. I will definitely check it out. I was kinda shocked to see a response for this old article. I went with GoDaddy and haven't finished my website yet. I showed it to a friend of mine and he advised me to redo it. Been travelling since then. BTW, I thought your blogging tips article was quite good.

I have to say this. Your multiple posts are annoying. Please only post your articles once. And yes, I am loving the irony of the multiple post I accidentally made for this response.

I really want to see this movie. I love the movie series so far. I got interested enough that I decided to read the books, but having seen the first two movies, I decided to just read the third book. Suffice it to say, you could read the book and enjoy a completely different story. When I was younger, that would have really cheesed me off. Now I don't mind departures from the book if the movie is good enough. The Bourne Ult

I agree with his ban on funding but not his reasoning. He should ban the funding because the US Government isn't supposed to be a giant piggy bank for every cause, not because of the ethics of it. BUT he should do so while cutting a whole host of other programs as well. Gid, I disagree with you on this
