Topic: DUH's Insurrection & Subversion CAFE #6
As we enter the new millennium with George W., Britney Spears, and
(((ugh))) the MAN show, I hope we can all keep a good sense of humor about
things. What can we say about a society that lets this kind of thread survive to
its six incarnation? I shudder to think...
As always diabetic chat is strictly forboden or I'll blow chunks. Keep the
conversation lively, loosely connected, and interesting; posting links to your
own crap 40 or 50 times is a no-no; cranky cynics are honored here, and most
importantly, don't be an inflamed, monkey's butt. We get enough of those
dropping in when the momentum of their social lives and what's left of their
sensibilities evaporate like so much hog sweat. Otherwise, have fun. Stay
tuned for very occasional sermon from the Rev. Duh, kook patrols, and the
marshmellow roasts over the embers of some poor slob we flamed.
If you have picture of yourself or someone near and dear to you (human or
otherwise), send one in and honor them on the picture pages. We will keep
them up until somebody sues me and I have to take them down.

(brought over from the other place)
I'm been all over the AMtrak web site. I got one of the student traveling card things. I don't
know how much your paying for your choo
choo, WD, but the Amtrak lady I talk to said that I could get a round trip "Explore America"
thing - here-SF-Seattle-here for about
$300 with my student discount. I may talk to a travel agent too, but on the website, they have
a discounted ticket from SF to Seattle for
$70 bucks. I think I'm going on the most southern route to SF and maybe take the route
through Montana home - I want to go through
Iowa though, but I don't know if that really northern route goes through Iowa. We'll see. I'll
end up disappointing somebody, I just
know it.
For the San Francisco pathfinder get-together, I propose the the Boulevard Restaurant, The
Magnolia, the Menara or Dipuccios...

I actually like the train, but you've got to accept a few things.
You won't get there on time. Wherever you're going, you won't get there on time.
You will meet some interesting people, and I mean "interesting" in the Charles Manson
sense.
There will be a magician on board.
Every AmTrak train breaks down in the desert. I don't care if you're going from Chicago to
Milwaukee, the train will break down in
the desert.

I'm going through Denver to spend a couple of days with my cousin and his wife in Boulder.
I leave Memphis late in the evening and get to Chicago the next morning. Leave there for
Denver that afternoon and get in to Denver the
next morning, spend two days then off to Emeryville. I'll get there at around 6:50PM on the
10th and leave on the 12th. Seattle the
next morning. Leave there on the 18th for Chicago on the Empire Builder through Montana.
If you go bsck through Montana, you'll get to see the only tree in Nebraska. (You can't miss it
- there'll be dogs lined up for miles in
every direction. Just look for them and see which way they're facing.)
As Noel said, sleeper compartment all the way, so I'll be forward of the diner.
BTW, snow on the ground this morning in north Mississippi.

Well, Noel, last year I went Southwest which was like a cattle car in the sky. Thank god for the
booze. Didn't give me any food, but gave
me all the heiny beers I wanted. I have a half day lee way for any departures and arrivals. I'm
wondering if I'm going throught the
north how much longer that will make my trip. Whahizface says they'll be booze on the train.
So, if I can eat and drink.... or, maybe if
I could just drink, most of my trip will just be peachy. Ironically, when most people travel, the
Charlie Manson type they describe is
usually the description they use for me. On the 12th, since that is Friday (I think) that's when
they discount the crap at MacWorld
and start giving crap away because they don't want to lug it back - so I want to stay for most
of that - although I'm hoping there's a
choo choo leaving that night, or I'll just be getting drunkywunky in the train station bar (if
there is such a beast.)

Trains are the only way to travel, just ask me. I've been everywhere, and once in a while, I did
ride a passenger train. Warm water,
showers, good food, good drink, and good conversation make for a great way to travel.
Boxcars go more places and better routes, but you
don't want to travel through the Sierras or the Rockies at this time of the year. Enjoy your trip.

I like to travel by train. I have been on the all fast trains such as the Shinkensen in Japan,
the TGV in France, and the ICE in Germany.
The most memorable was I took the overnight train from Munich to Rome with a bunch of
Italians going home for Christmas.

I took the bullet train from Venice to Bologna. It was only a few hours, but it was cool.
Americans looked at us like we were crazy, but the Italians gave us the thumbs up and the
nod of approval.
We had our own wine, cheese and meats.

If you do decide to shave something of whatizface's I won't tell you about the time I *Naired*
barber stripes in a former boyfriend's
legs as he lay passed out on the bed in a motel in Florida after being an ass in public...
Whatizface might get mad if I told you how well the stripes of blonde hair showed on that
tanned skin ...
And how I was away from the scene when he woke up took a shower and had nice smooth
(in places) legs...and it took him a while to
figure out what happened...
And he was the first and last blonde for me..LOL

One reason why trains are safer!
Fifteen minutes into the flight from Kansas City to Toronto, the captain announced, "Ladies
and gentlemen, one of our engines has
failed. There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but
we still have three engines left."
Thirty minutes later the captain announced, "One more engine has failed and the flight will
take an additional two hours. But don't
worry ... we can fly just fine on two engines."
An hour later the captain announced, "One more engine has failed and our arrival will be
delayed another three hours. But don't
worry ... we still have one engine left."
A young blonde passenger turned to the man in the next seat and remarked, "If we lose one
more engine, we'll be up here all day!"

An Amish woman was traveling down the road one day in a buggy when a state trooper
pulled her over.
Walking up to the buggy, the trooper said to the woman, "Ma'am, I can see that you do not
have a slow-moving vehicle emblem on the
back of this buggy, and I am going to have to issue you a citation for that."
As he takes out his pen to write, he notices that one of the reins is tied around the horse's
testicles. The trooper gets very upset about
this, and tells the woman that he will have to issue a citation for animal cruelty, also. He
hands the tickets to the woman and she
proceeds home.
At home, her husband asks how her day went, and she begins to tell him about the tickets.
"He gave me this one because that orange
triangle fell off the back of the buggy."
The husband replies that he can fix that, and then asks what the second piece of paper is
for.
The wife says, "I don't know, he was so upset, but it seemed to have something to do with
the emergency brake."

But. I do want to write something about the ones I love. It's a little family that I have chosen,
and that I cherish more than my own life.
I looked at whahizface a little bit ago, and I am amazed. I am amazed that I have someone
who loves me deeply, who does almost
anything for me, and who is satisfied with the package of neurosis and irratic impulses that is
me. He sees me as beautiful and

the loving child, the lusty broad, the
scared girl, and the raging wild woman. He's kind, and intelligent, strong and able and I don't
know if I tell him enough, but I am
thankful and grateful that one such as him would be willing to be with one such as me. And if
that weren't enough, he was willing to
take a back seat to my devotion to my best friends, my reasons for continuing on this earth,
my fountains of unconditional love, Kodak
and Afga. He's never been jealous nor resentful for my irrational love for my dogs. Moreover,
he has grown to love them as I do. I would
like to wish my little family, Kenny, Afga, Kodak, and Stupid, I mean Milo, the best of the
season, and all my love. It really makes me
feel I that I have gotten more than I ever could hope for, and that in there eyes I am the
person that I strive to be.

Kwhon-Do (sp?) and boxing I suppose...

Yahoo's are OK, but Blue Mountain's make me crazy. Blue Mountain's take forever plus an
age to download. Then, despite the fact that
I'm listening to lovely music I selected over my stereo, Blue Mountain thinks I need to have
their slowly-loading card overlaid with
some tinny piece of crap they call music. And then, when the thing finally downloads but
leaves a big gray space in the middle, it
tells me that if I can't see the graphic I need to go someplace else and download that, too.
Hah! Like hell!

There is no part of a whole unless the parts are whole, or unless the hole is parted . . .
hummm, this is beginning to remind me of
college where, with the able assistance of drugs of choice, one could attempt to reach new,
never before explored, depths in pursuit of
the perfect thought. This, we believed, could be achieved all in a single weekend by
declaring sobriety to be the evil work of satan and
excess the target plane of a higher existence. Of course if you didn't accomplish the set goal,
there was always next weekend, or
tomorrow and as everyone knows, practice makes perfect.

Cancel my trip? Did he say "Cancel his trip"?
Yeah, well, I went in to see the doctor last week. Thought that I had bronchitis or walking
pneumonia. Doctor saw something on my
right lung (Hell, I saw it all the way across the room - about ten feet away - when the Xray
tech held it up to see if he'd gotten a good
picture).
Doctor sent me in for a CAT Scan on Tuesday of last week and he got the results yesterday
(after I read him the riot act). Seems that
the thing on my left lung is a prominent artery (the aorta), but the walnut sized shadow on my
left lung needs to be looked at. That
said, I'm going in for a high resolution CAT Scan in Oxford this afternoon. This thing is 3cm x
1.8cm. or about half the size of a
walnut. Doctor says that when they find something on a lung, it's usually the size of a
baseball.
It could be lymph glands or a big nasty, don't know. If it's something to be worried about, it's
early. Shouldn't be too much trouble to
whip.
Anyway, I won't have any results before Tuesday at the earliest, I'm sure, so I'll probably
have to cank out on my trip to San
Francisco. If it turns out to be nothing, I still need the time to get it excised if need be and I'm
not waiting around. Either way, I'm not
waiting around.
Didn't get any e-cards out this year, sorry, but this waiting has made for a miserable
Christmas.
Got to get into the Rain Room and then get my guitar ready for the trip to the guitar doctor in
Oxford.
BTW, son Brett has been calling me almost every day from either Austria or Garmish,
Deutchsland. My eldest son Trully spilled the
beans.
Later, troops. I'm setting out to live up to my nick.

to look up what he did, and see if I should be
concerned... he liked me he said..
So I look... And he lives several hours away...
He was there cause he robbed people he knew 2 times while stoned... He was of course
caught...had the house arrest thingy on his leg,
and called in a pizza after burning a blunt... robbed the pizza guy.
And was surprised when the cops found him sitting in his LR eating pizza and holding the
gun and the money bag in his lap... until
they pointed out the address on the pizza box.
I figured Maybe, just maybe, if I gave him a map to my house and put up signs he'd find me...
other than that. No worries.

I'm NOT a night-owl, but once in a while I act like one (when I go to bed early and wake up in
the middle of the night). I am, basically,
a morning person. Have NEVER been able to sleep late in the morning---even if I am up all
night, don't think I have ever slept past 8
or 8:30. Since I operate best on 7-8 hours, I HAVE to go to bed early to be able to function.

It come as a "Bad virus" email and warns against any email entitled "Upgrade Internet 2."
Claims that here is a virus named
"perrin.exe" embedded in it. Both "Upgrade Internet 2" and "perrin.exe" are identified as
hoaxes by Norton. The link to the virus
hoax information on the Norton site is in the thread header of my thread, Internet Virus

Dusty
Check your mail. I just remembered how much money a travel agency saved me on my first
trip to Seattle.
They have discounts that the Amtrak ticket people don't know about and saved me over
$400.00 over what
Amtrak quoted me for my tickets. I went through the agency so that I could pick my ticket up
without
having to drive to Memphis and go into what was then a war zone, so I discovered this on a
fluke. Since then,
I've gone through an agency.
My ticket agent volunteered to cancel my tickets for me and thank God I let her. Took her all
day long to get
it done.

Way cool, Glen, and even more cool if your guy's taking the oath.
I highly recommend Italy, but stay out of the big cities unless you are looking for the touristy-
like crowds and
rockin' night life. Woo whooo whoo
Forte dei Marmi, a nifty little beach town, great for relaxation. Virtually no other tourists in
sight, other than
rich Italians on vacation.
Great food, some shopping, and the Italian version of a swap meet in the park on Sundays
with a little night life
in the town square.
Run Rudolph Run! [ex-glencarr] - 10:33pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#321 of 1012)

& it was

have to see Roma, Venezia & Firenze.
[lara croft] - 10:44pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#322 of 1012)
You're gonna be really disappointed in Venezia, Glen. It's pretty dirty, these days. Stay on
the Lido away
from the crowds and the dirt, and catch a water taxi to San Marcos when you want to go
over. I can highly
recommend a hotel on the Lido. It's awesome.
The Villa Mabapa.
It's a converted Italian summer home and every room is different. It has a large veranda type
area in the
front, across from the beach with a bartender catering to your every wish. (Moreno, was the
bartender when
I was last there). It's a short walk from some good restaurants, and some shopping. It's quiet,
cool, very
clean, very classy and only about 1/4 mile from the water taxi to San Marcos (The main part
of Venice.)
Firenze, ohman, the jewelry shopping on the Ponte Vecci. My favorite part of Florence was
The David. It is
mind blowing. I spent almost two hours just sitting, looking at it, getting up, sitting in a
different spot and
looking some more. Awesome. I could spend hours and hours just looking at the detail, and I
plan on it.
Only reason to go to Rome is to see the Vatican then get the hell out and head somewhere
else, wine country
maybe. LOL
Run Rudolph Run! [ex-glencarr] - 10:50pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#323 of 1012)
The Vatican, of course. The other two cities would be for the museums. I assume they drive
on the right side
of teh road? I'd like to pop in on San Marino & see what's shaking in that lil country. I have 8
days
including travel from JFK so I have tos et up an itinerary quickly if that's my choice.
[lara croft] - 10:58pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#324 of 1012)
Yeah, they do drive on the right side. You can go to like, AAA and get an international
driver's license for
about $10.
What is really cool is that there must be some kind of major punishment for those who drive
on the left side
of the road because no one does. They pass on the left and are in such a hurry to get back
over they will cut
you off. If you get out in the left lane to pass, you'd better get over the minute someone
comes up behind you
or they will be on your ass, honking and carrying on and don't be caught hanging out in the
left lane any
longer than it takes to pass someone.
I love that.
Lots and lots of toll booths, carry small bills.
They have cool roadside rest things, though. You can get gas, go to the restroom, and grab
a bite of something
if you are hungry, all in the same building. Very modern.
I love the Italians. They are great people. Friendly and helpful and they like Americans. If you
don't speak
the language, it's okay, they'll laugh and have a good time, but find a way to get you what
you are asking for.

You don't need to speak Italian, Glen. It helps, but it isn't required. They don't speak much English, but
that doesn't seem to be a problem. Besides, they are good sports about it. Italian is such an easy language to
pick up that within a day or two you have learned to make your wishes known. It's the most fun language
to
speak. You get to wave your arms around and the lilting quality of the language is fascinating.
LOL don't try to substitute Spanish for Italian because it doesn't translate as you intended. Trust me on
this one. LOL
The David is a must. Of all things of culture (versus party time) The David is the most awe inspiring thing
I've ever seen.

LOL they have walk up versatel machines ( I know this).
Bathrooms are clearly marked and in Italy they never rush a meal so if you want your check you have to
stop
your waiter and ask for it. They will let you sit at the table for hours without bringing you the check. You
have to almost force them to do that. LOL But, it's not hard to get your point across that you want the
check.
I learned right away the levels of dining in Italy.
Pizzaria, trattatoria and restaurante.
The pizzas are nothing like I've ever seen. I hate pizza, but I loved theirs.
Pizzarias are inexpensive little drop-in cafes.
Trattatorias(sp) are a step up, they have pasta and pizza.
Restaurantes are the expensive, fine food, fine wine, establishments.
And Italy was some of the best eating I've ever had.

Regarding your inquiry a few posts back about "smoothing out" your Adobe Livemotion animation - try
this.
Open the "Timeline" and then select the various "Keyframe" diamond icons in the specific "Timeline" -
"Shift-Click" to get all of them included, okay?
Once they're selected go up to "Timeline" deal on the "Menu Bar" and first select "Ease In" and then "Ease
Out" - that should help considerably.
Sadly Adobe Livemotion (or Macromedia Flash) do not have a "Tween" command like you find in either
Adobe ImageReady or Macromedia Fireworks - but the process I've outlined should help considerably.
Also go to http://www.adobe.com and look for the Tutorials for Livemotion - there are quite a few good
ideas
on getting the animation to look like you are wanting.
Hope that helps.

If you return (and I bet you will) Glen, after your initial trip, you have to look into renting a villa in the
wine country. You can use it as your base. It's awesome and if you travel with more than three or four
people, the only way to go.

You're gonna have a terrific time. Italy rocks.
Just keep in mind that the country closes down about 1 p.m. every day and doesn't reopen until about 4:30
or 5. You can take this opportunity to nap or drink, whatever is your preference.
Dinner doesn't start until well after 9 p.m. and can last until midnight. From midnight on is veranda
drinking, people watching time or for dancing.
The country doesn't open up until after 9 a.m. and in 50% of the case, closer to 10:00.
LOL ohman, that's a lifestyle I could live.

I found a website with pictures of the mosaics, but they really don't do them justice. It's really quite
someting to gaze upon beautiful artwork dating back 1500 years.
http://www.hp.uab.edu/image_archive/ulj/uljc.html
The visit to Ravenna was my favorite part of that trip which is quite something considering that the
Christian subject matter of the mosaics means nothing to me.
[lara croft] - 11:35pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#340 of 1012)
Those are cool.
Italian artists are outstanding. I love going to the museums of the places I travel, but I REALLY love the
Italian artists. The sculptures are magnificent.
Forte dei Marmi (the little coastal village I mentioned) means Fort of Marble. There is a ton of marble
there,
they like mine it or something, and the artists used the biggest pieces to form sculpture. It's wonderful.

Oh yeah, and I heartily agree about the statue of David. We first saw the fake that sits outside where the
original used to be, and I was thinking to myself, "jeez, what's all the fuss about." But, OHMYGOD! the
original... unbefreakinglievable!
[lara croft] - 11:44pm Jan 4, 2001 EST (#342 of 1012)
Yeah, luckily we wandered onto the fake AFTER seeing the orginial.
I was in such awe I couldn't take my eyes off it. I spent 30 minutes examining the nail beds. Hell I looked
at
it for almost an hour before I realized he was naked and anatomically correct.
It gave me chills, I couldn't leave. I imagined the model, I imagined the magnificent talent it took to carve
that hunk of marble into something so awe inspiring, so detailed, so wonderful. The more I looked, the
more
I saw. Just as I was about to leave, I'd discover something I'd missed before and I didn't want to leave
having
missed one little thing.
After viewing The David, that was all we could talk about for hours. We went over to the Duomo, sat in
the
square for hours, drinking wine and talking about The David. Wen then retired to the hotel rooftop garden
and continued drinking wine and talking about the David. We talked about it all through dinner and back on
the rooftop bar that night. The next day we still talked about the David. All of us had glassy eyes, faraway
looks and rosie cheeks as if we'd witnessed something truly miraculous and would be touched forever by it,
which we did, and were. To this day I can't think about The David with out getting misty and goose
bumpy.
Truly awesome.

hi, all! Happy new year!
Have been off boards for a few - working and flu kept me away. Wardaddy, glad all is ok! Haven't been able
to check msn for a bit - not on hard line and can't remember my "assigned" password - so until I get back to
house, no msn for me! Could you send email addy to edrieanne@yahoo.com - I didn't file it on yahoo, only
msn.
Duh, Susieque & I are checking to find out if a time and place is set for SF - we still plan to be there to
greet you and Doug. Let me know via yahoo or boards - will be back online tonite to check. Looking

to meeting you both.
Got to go pick up some jewelry being made, so I'll be back later - especially to fulfill that bet to

There's a virus hoax going around via email along with a variant of the old Happy99 virus. I just got both,
but Norton AV 2001 sniffed out the real one and my bullshit detector sniffed out the other one.
Don't open any attachments from anyone that you don't know. When Norton told me about the virus
embedded in an attachment, I just directed Norton to whack it without going to the message to see who sent
it.
The hoax is about the "Klingeman virus," a real virus that is supposed to kill you after you opwn the
envelope that it's in. You can read about it here
<ahref="http://www.picosearch.com/cgi-bin/ts.pl">http://www.picosearch.com/cgi-bin/ts.pl and here

Hey Duh, sorry we haven't been able to keep up w/ your itinerary, and didn't realize you were going to be in
LA for a couple of days until just now when I caught up. Today is the last of the
birthdays/anniversaries/Christmas to-do.
I doubt we can show you anything as far-out as Darby has planned, but Union Station would be a much
cooler place to party than LAX. Phillipe's (home of the original French Dip sandwich,) is right across the
street, and if you want Mexican food, Olvera street is a short block away. I think they put some
fancy-schmantzy restaurant in the station itself, too, but can't vouch for that one.
If you want to meet a couple of your latest Church of Duh members, e-mail us at IMKLROY@aol, or
MaryRose@Innocent.com and we'll buy you & Darby lunch or something. And do remember your Actifed.

I don't know if I should post the when/where of the restaurant get together. Dougie can do it if it is a

all the details!!! I'll email you Rose. Please post before the 11th if you have any inkling on coming to

I'm bummed that by the time I got back online, the threads had dropped from the screen. but what a feast
they were!
Christmas selling season for the shortened week that it was actually reaped more than I had expected, but
the real surprise is this week! Hopefully, it will continue - the surprise is that it has been the bigger ticket
items that moved - diamonds, heavy gold and feelers for good pearls to be delivered in a few months.
Offer still stands to anyone who wants a guided tour of the Giftcenter/Jewelry Mart (with PF fringies to buy
wholesale from the place). Just let me know. It opens at 10a and closes at 5p and the "Please don't hit your
head on the glass" sign is still up on the window of the showroom with the 3 1/2 carat diamond ring.
Meantime, I'll hopefully be seeing yall at least a couple of times a week!

I'll see if I can find the link to the TabWin program. I use it to write tablature and to play back songs that I
don't know. They have a shareware version that you can try. I've used this program for years, beginning
with
their first version. I'll have to open my other browser.

Well, back tp planes, trains & stuff: I've taken Amtrak a few times & it ahsn't been very pleasant. Now, I
never took them for more than a 5 hour train ride but that was long enough. Although I'll grant that the
people were more pleasant (well, the passengers anyway!).

Given the time, the train is best way to travel.
Certainly between DC and New York, I always take Amtrak.
The train folk don't lie to you constantly, you don't have to answer a dozen stupid ass questions that have
no
purpose other than to enervate you and you make you docile, you don't have to identify yourself, the seats
are comfortable with enough leg room, and, by and large, train stations are much more interesting than
airports.

If you're looking for a good high end guitar, Larivees are hard to beat. I have a 000 sized Larivee, an OM-10
Deluxe. It is a beauty and plays and sounds like a dream. Very well balanced and loud - if you want to to be.
Seagull makes a very good mid-prcied guitar according to the FLATPICK-L listers. Boomer just bought
one
and he likes it.

Take a look on the Elderly web site, http://www.elderly.com
Ovations - deep bodies - are good buys and play and sound great. Guilds from prior to 1990 are great buys,
too. Fender bought them in about 1990, so I wouldn't recommend the later ones.
If you can find a Guild with a "G" in the model number, you've found a Geroge Gruhn designed guitar. I had
a
GF-30 that i gave to my son. It's increase in value once the collectors discover them. The Guild that Cooter
has is one that I bought new in 1965 and is a super guitar.
There are some other great buys for a beginner guitar that will also serve well as a pro's guitar. If you want,
I'll look over what Elderly, Gruhn, and Mamdolin Brothers have and let you know what I think.

Several nice Ovations on the Elederly site and this jewel:
ALVAREZ YAIRI DY90 (1990) EC+, D-size, 15-3/4" lower bout, solid spruce top, 3-piece
rosewood back, rosewood sides, mahogany neck, bound ebony fretboard, fancy ebony bridge
with abalone trim, abalone top trim and around fretboard extension, abalone soundhole
rosette, white body binding, faux abalone trim on sides, diamond shape abalone fretboard
inlays, gold tuners, black pickguard, w-b-w bound headstock with rosewood overlay,
1-11/16" nut width, ~25-3/8" scale, made in Japan, with HSC, on consignment (SN:42586)
20U-7357......$785.00 buy
I used to have one and Cooter has one of these now. Cooter's sounds terrific, mine wasn't so terrific
although
is was a fine-sounding guitar. I just never played it enough for it to open up. That's real abalone abound the
top
Their catalog came with the Martin and there's a picture of a Gibson with the old Mother-Of-Toilet-Seat
fingerboard. MOTS is fake plastic pearl shell. Gaudy.
The D25 Guild is one of their ceaper guitars, but like all early Guilds, it's probably a fine-sounding guitar.
Elderly gives you 48 hours to make up your mind if you're going to keep a guitar. banjo, fiddle, or
whatever.

I used a Goya calssical guitar when I first went on the road. Wonderful guitar.
AM4456 Espana flattop made in Finland, mid 1960s, VG, spruce top, mahogany back & sides,
SC......$300
AM4577 Ovation Balladeer model 1111, 1983, NM, natural finish, OHC......$500
AM4655 Ovation Legend, 1985, VG+, factory electronics, natural finish top, OHC......$485
AM4592 Guild D4NT, 1991, VG+, no case......$500 (You can get a hardshell Harp case from Elderly for
$115.00 + $18-00 for shipping. A Harp is what I bought for my 0-16NY. Good looking case, too.)
There are some more fine Guilds there, but they're more expensive. I believe that the D4 is the same as
their
old D-40 model, but I haven't held one, so I'm not positive about that.

some of our fine California Wine!
I was 1/2 late due to torrential downpours all day and Doug made it about 45 minutes after I did.
Dusty is terrific - she is awesome! Everything her web page indicates her to be and much more. Darby is
forever young! (must be all the LA Goth scene that she wears so well). The skies of LA are a little dimmer
and the nights are a little quieter with her in our fair city.
Doug is MUCH MUCH cute. His pics DEFINITELY don't do him justice, ladies! (I SHOULD use the
term
"hansome", but since I'm so much older than he is, I hope I can get away with using "cute"!
Look for an update of the get together on the boards some day in the near future! Well worth the skidding
down 280 at 50 mph to make it to meet them!
My only regret is that the two ladies will be heading out tomorrow and we won't be able to properly do the
town!
Stoptime, Susiequeue, you're gonna LOVE meeting Doug! look for a local pf get to coming to a location
near
you soon!
Duh, thanks for the energy to make this happen. Darby, thanks for throwing caution to the wind and
coming
anyway! Doug, thanks for the GREAT restaurant recommendation!
What a great nite! Missed you all who weren't there. Especially you, Ray. When you come out, we'll make
up
for it and give you the Royal treatment!

sjs, did you REALLY think we'd let a little rain stop us from meeting the one and only DUH! (and Darby,
too)?
Wild storms and tornados couldn't have kept us away! I think a good time was DEFINITELY had by all!
Meeting Doug was a pleasure, tho' didn't get to talk with him much - Darby had his ear 'bout PC's -
Looking
forward to another get to with more of the Bay locals when the weather isn't as brutal.
Hope Duh is home snuggled with all her aminals by now - and Darby is back giving LA what for!
At least, here in SF, Doug and I are a bit dryer than yesterday.
If anyone finds themselves in the Bay area, please sing out and we'll show ya the sights!

hehehe - When I was on the mainland, one morning my mother said "We had a good rain last night." I
looked
outside and a not a drop of water, puddle, wet car, or even a wet leaf to be found ANYWHERE.
I asked her how she could tell and she said she "saw it fall". The news reporters on the television were busy
talking about the night's previous "storm" and telling people to *Ahem* be careful on the roads.
A month or so before I had left for California, we had a little rain and received 28 inches of rain in 24
hours.
Now THAT'S a rainstorm. Bunch of sissies.

ackchully, folks, it wasn't the rain but the blasted ignorance of the people who pave the roads! They oil
down the newly paved asphalt to make it wear better, so when it rains, it is just like driving on solid sheets
of ice. I had better traction in NY after a major ice storm!
I'm just glad that I had the good fortune to practice in NY before coming out here.
It is common to hear about cars and big rigs that go flying off the roadway down embankments, ravines,
etc.
after a rain storm. Cars fly off the main roadway and aren't discovered for days (usually to the death of the
people in them). What amazes me is that there is no understanding by the people who redo the roads that
rain happens! Potholes around here are good for traction!
Anyway, my favorite driving experience was in Boulder, Co., years ago, when several feet of snow hit
overnite. Instead of scraping down the roads, people just drove over the packed stuff. Great traction, easy
going. In NY, they salt the roads and it melts off until the weather warms, water covers the surface then the
temp drops and you get "black ice". The stuff I hit was just like that. Unexpected and unstoppable!
Now I know what it feels to ride the nose of a bullet at close range. Whew! Thank goodness for deflection. I
would have accordianed about seven cars since I didn't even begin to slow acceleration - and with several
tons of motor home, that wouldn't have been pretty, folks.

SHERRIE
For all of you who don't know, I will tell you she is a warm and loving person. She gives off all the vibes
of a
bitchin' mom, and a down to earth lady with great mind and sense of humor to boot. It made me realize how
much I REALLY love you, and how, now, it can be a tangible thing since you are three dimensional.
DOUG
Ohmygod, the man is adorable. Just adorable. Screw the picture we have on the picture page, the man is a
phenomenal cutie. After the five glasses of wine (out of five carafs (sp?), I was tongue tied when I got the
chance to speak to him. Goofy I was, so I hope that we can get together again, when I'm not so.... tippsy.
EDRIE
Three dimensions really works for you. To be honest, I had expected a chat-room like sort of person, but
you really proved to be much much more. Your warm and kind and fun. I hope we do this next year too,
provided your still in town.
Please, everybody, I cannot stress how different and better people are in 3D. I was taken aback by the
realness and warmth and kindness from everybody - you cannot begin to judge a person and how they will
be online - you can only get a taste. I'm off to bed. Talk at you more later...

The secret to driving in San Francisco is to open your window and scream like a banshee at the other
people,
especially if they're in a crosswalk.
That's how you do it in Boston too.
[lara croft] - 09:32pm Jan 14, 2001 EST (#527 of 1012)
San Francisco drivers are mild compared to New York drivers or Jersey drivers.
At least in California there is a clear law concerning right-of-way when it comes to motor vehicle v.
pedestrian.
In New York, it's every man for himself and he with the biggest balls wins.
In California there is somewhat of an notion that he who gets there first gets the right-of-way, at least.
If New York/Jersey drivers went to California and drove as they do at home, they'd be victims of freeway
shootings in less time than it takes to cut someone off, flip them off, then crowd them into a pylon.
Not to mention honking their horns, and screaming profanities, the entire time.

AAAACCCCKKKK! Lara put Jersy Drivers and NY drivers in the SAME category!
NO NO NO NO!!! EVERYONE knows that when the dread blue and yellow plates (NJ) are in the far right
hand
lane, they WILL turn left at the next light!
And as for NY drivers, just rent FISH CALLED WANDA for a lesson in how it's done!
BUT, if you know the system in NY, it's easy - anyone with their nose (bumper) an inch in front of your
driver's seat has the right of merge, anyone behind that magic arc has to wait! Just go up in a high rise and
look down at the yellow "snake" that moves in unison! Works beautifully until someone from NJ is in the
right (left) hand lane.
Oh, there is a pecking order, too. Cabs have right of way over cars, buses have right of way over cabs
(sometimes), bicycles have right of way over buses and Cement Trucks RULE!
If you are driving, you have right of way over pedestrians, but the minute you step out of the car, YOU
have
right of way over motor vehicles. Look and GLARE and they stop (unless they are a Gypsy cab-then you
better have a cemetary plot paid for!)
THAT is the secret of NYC!
SF, on the other hand, those with brakes give way to those without. Streets are very slippery so that the
traffic flow will continue rapidly during rush hour. Pedestrians are considered speed bumps for buses and
cable cars - 10 points for a bicycle and 15 for a motorcycle (since they are motorized, they are harder to
hit). Red lights are pretty decorations. WHAT cross walks? Those are road paintings!
AH~ drivin' - when in doubt - take a cab who will most assuredly take you to the busiest streets to get two
blocks and stay in the middle lanes so you can't get out!
In NY, if the cabbie is stoned, be sure to tell him to let you out three blocks ahead so he'll be able to
negotiate the stop - and never argue with a NY Cabbie with a tire iron!
Thanks for the joy you're giving me [ex-glencarr] - 11:46pm Jan 14, 2001 EST (#534 of 1012)

LOL Glen
While the middle finger salute works on both shores, equally, as well, I still love the horn honking and
yelling best. Reminds me of Mexico, kind of.
He/she with the biggest balls wins, and if you are going to argue with a cabby, be armed or pick the
biggest
doorman around, to do the arguing for you.
Once co-mingled, if you don't have a program, you can't tell the difference between a Jersey driver and the
NY driver except for the plates. I know, I know, neither wants to admit that, but it's true.
But facts being facts, as far as Jersey goes, Weehawken, a wee bit of heaven, is the only reason to be in
Jersey. The unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline is breathtaking, morning, noon, and night; spring,
summer, fall and winter.

well, funniest Jersey story I have was when I was driving a taxi - one of my fellow hacks had just returned
from a visit to somewhere in the deep south. THink it was Georgia.
He and a friend (also cabbie) were travelling a six lane road during rush hour when traffic ground to a halt
in center lane. When they finally got to near the stop - there was a car making a left turn in front of all the
oncoming traffic. His buddy instinctively yelled out window JERSEY DRIVER! [no other expletive needed,
if you are a New Yorker]. When he remembered where he was, he laughed - that is until they reached the car
- it had Jersey tags!
Oh, one more thing, there are billboards in NJ touting the fewest number of accidents occur to NJ drivers
[but the REAL accidents occur to all the drivers trying to AVOID the Jersey drivers! What a mangled wake
of metal they leave *g*)
And as for the Skyline of Manhattan, yep, Lara, you're 100% on that one! The BEST view if from New
Jersey
side of the Hudson!
[lara croft] - 01:51am Jan 15, 2001 EST (#537 of 1012)

.ain't had this much fun since the <insert> died! [edrieanne] - 03:39am Jan 15, 2001 EST (#538

not much! BUT, you do get a good view of the Ferry Boat that is converted into a floating restaurant (name
escapes me for the minute) and a great vista of the GWB at nite. Jersy shore is not too bad a looksee, and
you
can see part of the NY skyline at an angle, but the best view of Manhattan is definitely from the Jersey
side.
Even Queens and Brooklyn lack the spectacular view. That's the best part of Jersey - the view of the city!
(and cheap rents)
<edit>oops, forgot the splendid view of running the Henry Hudson Parkway at nite! Passing Grant's Tomb
(who's buried there, anyway?) and running the edge of the city along riverside drive is pretty neat. When I
used to take friends on my "manhattan tours", I'd run them around the perimeter of Manhattan, from the
west side, south street, east river drive, through the top of the island along the cloisters and back down
again. It is really a great ride. The next best is to do it via Circle Line - great 3 hr cruise in the summer and
wonderful view of the City from the waterway.

Well, I was going to post this in the RR, but this looks like a good time for it here.
If Men Truly Ran The World
1. Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the ass and a "Nice hustle, you'll get 'em next time"
would pretty much do it.
2. Birth control would come in ale or lager.
3. Valentine's Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only occur in leap years.
4. On Groundhog Day, if you saw your shadow, you'd get the day off to go drinking. Mother's Day, too.
5. St. Patrick's Day, however, would remain exactly the same. But it would be celebrated every month.
6. Garbage would take itself out.
7. Regis and Kathy Lee would be chained to a cement mixer and pushed off the Golden Gate Bridge for
the most lucrative pay-per-view event in world history.
8. The only show opposite "Monday Night Football" would be "Monday Night Football from a Different
Camera Angle."
9. Instead of "beer-belly," you'd get "beer-biceps."
10. Tanks would be far easier to rent.
11. Two words... "Ally McNaked."
12. When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-aleck answer you responded with would actually
reduce your fine. As in: Cop: "You know how fast you were going?" You: "All I know is, I was spilling
my beer all over the place." Cop :"Nice one, That's $10.00 off".
13. People would never talk about how fresh they felt.
14. Daisy Duke shorts would never go out of style again.
15. Every man would get four real Get Out of Jail Free cards per year.
16. Telephones would cut off after 30 seconds of conversation.
17. The victors in any athletic competition would get to kill and eat the losers.
18. It would be perfectly legal to steal a sports car, as long as you returned it the following day with a
full tank of gas.
19. Instead of a fancy, expensive engagement ring, you could present your wife-to-be with a giant
foam hand that said "You're #1!"
20. When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she'd appear in a little box in
the corner of the screen during a time-out.
21. Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed as an acceptable response to "I love you"
22. The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.
23. "Sorry I'm late, but I got wasted last night," would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness.
24. At the end of the workday a whistle would blow and you would jump out of your window and slide
down the tail of a brontosaurus and right into your car like Fred Flintstone.
25. Hallmark would make "Sorry, what was your name again?" cards.

years.

Shall I deal with her in the usual way?

Normally, when someone attacks like that, they have a history with the attacked and somewhat of a
reason to attack.
Who was that masked beeotch, anyway?
Gooood eeeee-ven-ing, David.

Oh Dave... BTW, How come when one of *Us guys* mention something that happened last year the
*war is over* but when *certain people* go on ad nauseum about how they were repressed by *us
guys* and how they are a victim of society and they aren't going to let TheMan get them down it's
ok?
Just wondering...

HAPPEN TO HIM?
Duh_ - 03:46am Jan 17, 2001 EST (#696 of 1012)
Edrie, I have Photoshop 6, and I tried to bring out the color without washing them out. The pictures
you sent me were really washed out so, I don't think lightening them will do much good. There was
no color saturation and they were WAY yellow. I don't know how your printshop editor will help
them (no offense.)
Although, they are probably all going to look better/lighter on some monitors than others - also I've
heard that graphics and photos will look better on Macs, anyway.
edrieanne - 03:46am Jan 17, 2001 EST (#697 of 1012)
I'm getting Sue Darling (makeup artist in LA)
egads, did you hear? we had a double rig semi try to drive into the State Capitol building tonite in
Sacramento - hit it at 70mph going up the steps - blew the heck out of the truck, killed the driver.
Was carrying a load of powdered milk......and whoever said cows were docile! CHARLOIS!!! does that
stuff explode on impact? The whole area (outside) was in flames - damage to structure is
undetermined, but doesn't appear to have done too much damage at first look.
Guess he didn't like the gas prices in california!
edrieanne - 03:48am Jan 17, 2001 EST (#698 of 1012)
probably not much. the flash washes everything out, in the dark of the restaurant, the colors don't
read well either. I can take five shots on a tripod with exact same lighting conditions and come out
with five drastically different pics.
Like I said before, damned cheap camera!
I'll send you the unedited (dark ones) ones and maybe with photoshop you can get better results than
I got with printshop.
Look for them sometime tomorrow.
kariannhopes - 03:50am Jan 17, 2001 EST (#699 of 1012)
What is the best type of camera to use in an uneven or dark setting? Often pictures taken in a
wedding hall will be very dark, especially if there is a high ceiling. The film I use is 400.

I put the crappy web cam in a different place. Although every once in a while, I can see my legs (I
have no pants on)...
Kinda wanted to avoid a direct shot, in case sometimes I don't look so good. I really got to get a better
web cam.

In the bathroom, an accountant, a lawyer and a cowboy were standing side-by-side using the urinal.
The accountant finished, zipped up and started washing and literally scrubbing his hands...clear up
to his elbows....he used about 20 paper towels before he finished. He turned to the other two men and
commented, "I graduated from the University of Nebraska and they taught us to be sanitary."
The lawyer finished, zipped up and quickly wet the tips of his fingers, grabbed one paper towel and
commented, "I graduated from the University of California and they taught us to be environmentally
conscious."
The cowboy zipped up and as he was walking out the door said, "I graduated from Montana State
University and they taught us not to piss on our hands."

EEEEEK!!! that's blasphemy.
The chemicals they use are substandard, even if they use Kodak, Agfa or even Russell, by virtue of
the fact they seldom drain their tanks, so the chems are stale and contaminated, at the very least, so
your negs will never be true.
With good negs you can always find a way to enhance the picture if the printer sucks.

Olympus makes the C-2500L digital which sells for less than $1,000.00. It listed for about $1,300.00
when I bought mine, but I paid $950.00 for it since this was my first order from that company. It
comes with a lens doubler and a battery charger. The only downside is the cost of the batteries, about
$60.00 for four.
The picture of my grandson Raymond with all of the macaws (Duh's site) was taken at Parrot Jungle
by my son and he had never used that camera before. I sent it to my other son and he went ape over
it. I had never heard him use the word "magnificent" before.
Also, our Episcopal bishop made a visit to our church a few weeks ago and I was able to take a lot of
available light photos that turned out beautifully. I pushed the speed to its highest setting and I
would guess, being the old photography hobbyist that I am, that the equivalent ASA would be about
4000.
I get about 50 photos per card and I can download them into my laptop, clear the chip and get another
50. I have a spare card and I can buy one with twice the capacity. I also bought a Flash Path adapter
which allws me to slip the card into it and put in in the 3.5" floppy disk slot. Handy.
From looking at the catalogs, I believe that Olympus may have an improved version out.
I have a Cacnon A1 that I've used for years. Its shutter is broken and I may not get it repaired. This
Olympus is a terrific camera. Light, too.

(#757 of 766) Olympus makes the C-2500L digital which sells for less than $1,000.00.
Olympus makes a very nice camera, for under $1000. I have a little D400 Zoom that I only paid $700
for, and I toss in the glove box, or in the overnight back or the purse without worry. It creates very
good pictures and I like the ease with which it loads on your computer. I hate those cameras that
have to have a permanent cord coming out of the back of your computer if you use it very often and
the hassle of hooking and unhooking if you don't have room to leave it in permanently.
My Olympus has a wee chip, 8megs (holds max, 130 pictures) that fits right into a flopply like device
that goes right into your floppy drive to upload. Poof, 30 seconds and 100+ pictures are uploaded.
Olympus makes the best 35mm point and shoot, too, IMO.
Canon rules in 35mm, though.

Yeah, I'm not a Fuji fan. Their equipment is substandard and their film is sucky unless it's printed on
Fuji paper, using Fuji equipment amd developed with Fuji chemicals.
As much as I hate Kodak, for what they've tried to do to the small labs, (and I thrill at the troubles
they've been having) but at least their film can be put through anyone's chemicals. printed on
anyone's paper and come out looking good.
Agfa is the best film on the market, for prerolled film. Forgiving, and it cleans up real nice,
regardless of the brand of chemicals or paper or equipment. Class act.

On this we agree, I've got a little point'n shooter that's great. Also got an Olympus I, II and IV, but the
little one equals'em unless I need different lenses. Just wish I could hook up my Tamron 300mm 2.8 on
the little one.
Agfa's good, but nothing compares to Fuji for color as far as I'm concerned and I tried'em all. One
thing tho, don't waste the time or money using Seattle Film Works film, not if you want any quality.
See if I'm quick enough here for Nigel. Example of what I'm talking about, I shot a once in a lifetime
sunrise photo of the Seattle skyline, a seagull crossing beside the Smith Tower with the sun peeking
around the Tower. Film was 100 speed, slowest they had. Three times I returned it to them to re-do an
8"x10" enlargement because the quality looked like it'd been taken on the worst 3200 speed film you
could find. Ended my use of that excuse for film.
'Course we all know, Crayola can't be beaten by any of'em!!!!!!! *G*
lara croft - 10:22pm Jan 18, 2001 EST (#773 of 1012)
Well, it's been a couple years since I've dealt with any Seattle film but if they are still the same, then
they offer it free and tell you to send it back to them for developing. They charge too much for the
value you get and they aren't interested in quality, just quantity. Besides, I don't think their film is
designed for duffer snapshots. You'd be surprise how many people figure they'll take the free film
and show them by taking it to any ole lab they want, locally, cheaper. It doesn't work that way.
Seattle (and another one in Dallas) buy up unused movie footage and roll it. It needs a different
developing process than C-41, (the industry standard). So if you want to see your pictures you have to
send them back to Seattle Film and pay their price and wait.
If you run a roll of Seattle through a developer using C-41 processing it may turn out okay with little
emulsion damage and maybe no chemistry contamination about one in every 100 or 200 times, but in
most cases it will erase the images or turn them a yucky yellow and contaminate about $400 worth of
chemistry in the C-41.
Although the quality isn't as bad as Fuji (LOL) it isn't as good as you'd expect for the price and then
there's the waiting for the mail to go and come. I like dropping my film off, hanging out for 20
minutes or so, then having my pictures.
I think they stay in business because most people really don't pay attention to the color quality,
density, clarity or much of anything else about their pictures. They just want to see the faces, or the
landscape and they really don't see whether the color is true or not. I've looked at people's pictures
from vacation and have been put off by the poor job done by the lab in processing. When I've
pointed out that the printer obviously moved the neg while printing it because the picture was
blurry, they didn't see it. When I mentioned that lawns aren't blue, they hadn't really noticed. People
automatically assume those squigglies and spots must be on the film, or their camera, if they notice at
all, instead of dirty lenses on the printer. It's always amazed me.

At least we agree about Ilford. I think it's hilarious to take it somewhere to be developed and they've
never seen it before. I've had a couple of'em run it a second time 'cause they thought they'd ruined
the photos 'cause of the orange, purple, blue, whatever tint was appearing in parts of the photo.
Then take the negs to a B&W lab for enlargements and they're downright beauties. I used a photo one
year of a snow covered driveway and trees for a Christmas card and everyone thought it'd been taken
on color film, altho the cards were printed at a B&W lab. Kodak has NOTHING to compare.

Fuji sucks hind tit.
I Couldn't disagree more, Lara, at least when it comes to transparency film. Fuji Velvia is the best
thing out there next to Kodachrome. It's got an ISO of 50, twice as fast as Kodachrome with color
almost as vivid. But, unlike Kodachrome which has to be sent to special labs that do Kodachrome
processing, (a patented Kodak process) Velvia can be processed in E-6, your standard transparency
process that any local lab can do. I shot a national ad for Fuji Velvia. I sent it to Dusty... she calls it my
"pot" shot.LOL
Agfapan APX 25 is the best Black & White film going. It's slow, ISO 25, but razor sharp and extremely
fine grained.
Kodak T-Max 100 is the best medium speed B&W film, but must be processed in T-Max developer for
optimum results.
Ilford makes the best B&W paper by far. Their Gallery Exhibition paper has Blacks so rich and whites
so clean, you'd swear you can reach into the print it has such depth.
I agree Canon rules 35mm. I have three F1Ns. All metal, built like tanks, completely manual. They're

I've had a problem with a few programs, other than that, it's dynomite.
The people who made my scanner have gone out of business so there are no drivers for Win2000Pro.
Usually that's not a problem because the plug and play will take over or the Win98 will work, but not
in this case. I had to buy another scanner.
McAfee doesn't have a virus scan that will scan email for Win2000Pro, yet and there is no ISSscript
for McAfee's installation for Win2000 Pro, yet.
Those are just my two biggest gripes. There are a couple other little ones, but all in all, I have had

I don't know jack shite about Win2000, but I just found this on the Flash support page:
Q. How can permissions affect installing the Shockwave and Flash Players with Windows NT
and Windows 2000?
A. If you don't have administrator access to your Windows NT- or Windows 2000-equipped
computer, you may not be able to install the Shockwave and Flash Players successfully.
Permissions can be tricky, but, in general, you should be able to install and use the
Shockwave and Flash Players if your administrator gives you full access to the Macromed
directory (C:Winnt\System32\Macromed\).
If this does not allow you to install and access the Shockwave and Flash Players, your
administrator may need to experiment with varying levels of restriction to determine what
works.

I think the top of the line Canon EOS cameras are pretty sturdy, but they've got all that auto-focus,
auto-exposure crap. Battery dependent, and more stuff to go wrong at the wrong time.
I get the impression from your posts that you used to be into photography quite seriously, Lara. Is
that correct?
lara croft - 11:36pm Jan 18, 2001 EST (#789 of 1012)
Auto exposure and auto focus are easily cured by turning them off and operating manually.
The battery thing is a problem in that you have to keep several paks of batteries on hand because
they are always going dead and the batteries the EOS uses is as expensive as hell.
BUT the EOS and the SLR have their place.
They have their advantages when you are on the move, not in the studio in a posed setting or on a
tripod somewhere, stationary.
Auto exposure and auto focus is a major plus when you are in a hurry, don't have time to adjust focus
and exposures for every shot because you want to catch something in running frames, as many as
you can get, as fast as you can go and immediately, suddenly.
Yeah, I used to live photography, it was my life and I made a very very good living at it. I don't do it
anymore, I rarely pick up a camera. I only do it now as a tourist, only when no one else will take the
picture.
Speaking of which, those damned little disposables sure do take good pictures.

Canon's are great cameras and I started out with a Olympus, which really had problems- it was a hand
me down, so I could not complain too much. But, when I finally bought my own SLR, I went for a
Canon. That particular camera is over 15 years old and still works great.
I use the SureShot more than anything, easier to carry around.
lara croft - 11:50pm Jan 18, 2001 EST (#796 of 1012)
To bad they are no longer made. I have my Dad's Argus 35mm. 1948 or 49. All the gears
and wheels are on the outside.
I had one of those, Spoonbill. I had a rather large collection of old cameras.
Blackricco - 11:53pm Jan 18, 2001 EST (#797 of 1012)
For sports photography or photojournalism, you can't beat auto-focus and auto-exposure. Everything
I do is tightly controlled, whether studio or location. I like to control everything. I take incidence
meter readings, reflective meter readings, and spot meter readings. Auto-exposure is like voodoo to
me. LOL I guess I'm just old-school.
Spoonbill
That AE1 is a hell of a camera. My first real 35mm camera was a Canon A1. I was about fourteen or
fifteen at the time. That was the coolest camera around. LOL LED readouts in the viewfinder, 6 mode
cybernetic in-camera meter. I had that camera for fifteen years. It never let me down.

Sherrie: Lizzard really liked your god post. She put it up over at AAR.
G-g-g-golly. I probably can't describe fully precisely how I feel about that. I mean, the honor of it
all, y'know.
lara croft - 12:03am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#799 of 1012)
I've done studio settings with the lights, the meters, gels, filters etc. Too danged much stuff getting in
the way of the purpose and it all covers up who the subject really is. Which, I believe is really the
purpose there. LOL
And I've done action shots and I like those, a lot.
But I prefer to just wander and snap candids. Posed can be beautiful and artful, but candids capture
the soul.
Nothing more fantastic than to catch someone unposed, unaware of the camera. I loved using lenses
to bring someone into the camera where it looked deeply into their eyes, searched their face and
captured the innocence, and/or emotion there, with incredible and sometimes startling clarity.
spoonbill - 12:05am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#800 of 1012)
AE-1 is versatile as it is apperature or shutter priority. Users choice and great flexability.
Yashika TL is all manual except for the exposure meter that informs over or under exposure but it is
still the operators choice.
I froze my AE-1 in -50 weather in Canada ice sculpture venue. Tore the shutter and I didn't notice
except for the funny click. Sadly, I shot 4 other rolls in East Berlin in the 70s and all were ruined.
$80 repair and it is still the best.

RE: Seattle Film Works/Photoworks.
This is pretty mediocre film - and I'm being kind. They opened 4 or 5 of their stores around Portland a
couple of years back and 3 have closed.
If you have COSTCO in your area you might want to try their house brand "Kirkland" which is
manufactured by Agfa out of Germany - a very warm film and a favorite with some photographers.
COSTCO sells 10 rolls for about $1.10 per.
lara croft - 12:14am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#802 of 1012)
Agfa is the best film on the market. LOL has been for a long while. It's like the best kept secret.
They made a move on Kodak about 6 years ago. Hit a lot of small labs, set them up with Agfa
equipment and film like Kodak does. Looked like they might do it but then for some unexplained
reason, they faded again. Too bad.

Actually, I've probably shot about fifty to one hundred rolls of 35mm in the last ten years, and most
of that was personal.
Most of the stuff I do is 2* and 4x5. I love shooting 8x10, but there's not much call for it anymore.

I don't even remember which friend recommended a manual camera, but it was the camera salesman

But then, I'm not a serious photographer. It could be the Packard-Bell of SLR's and I'd never know it.

edrieanne - 12:43am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#808 of 1012)
my favorite is a Minolta XE-7 - only one to have a full information view finder, auto or manual, easy
bayonet mount for quick lens changes and, most important, VERY quiet shutter.
used to take alot of "in the theatre" dance shots - shutter noise was a definite no-no. other patrons
hated the distraction during the ballet and the management became quite huffy - illegal to take
performance shots, and all that. (course, SAME management bought the 8x10's if they were good
shots.
Also liked the camera for taking horse shows, ice show performances, etc.
Still my favorite camera of record. you couldn't PAY me to have an auto wind - I used to time the film
advance with the choreography to get the dancer at the peak of her "ballon" (height of the jete that
makes her/him look like they are defying gravity).
also, for timing with a horse's refusal, my manually choosing my "advance" I could plan when to
snap. Absolutely HATE autofilm advance!
Oregon_Jim - 12:46am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#809 of 1012)
I bought a Nikon CoolPix 990 Digital Camera. Pretty amazing piece of technology - resolution is
overkill with the current level of file formats that will work on the WWW GIF and JPEG.
When browsers will address PNG file format the resolution and color accuracy will force the
discontinuation of JPEG and hopefully the GIF format for vector-based graphics as it will also support
transperacies.
Blackricco - 12:51am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#810 of 1012)

The "300" and "400" series from Olympus is an outstanding value with great quality for what you're
wanting to do.
You should find the "300" series (either 340 or 360 I think it is) for under $250.00
Rated very high by several publications.
Blackricco - 01:03am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#813 of 1012)
CoolPix a little overkill, Nigel?
You may want to check this out!
edrieanne - 01:03am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#814 of 1012)
br, my Minolta XE-7 has one. the next model minolta came out with didn't have it, nor did the prior
ones. that is the reason these little babies are so damned hard to find in used camera shops. I've only
seen one in probably 20 years.
it's a real sweetie of a camera - light exposure/shutter speed runs on left side of viewfinder and the
aperture is on the bottom. when you adjust aperture, the light/shutter speed lever corrects
accordingly. if you ever spot one, take a look. has both auto or complete manual. I've had quite a few
photogs try to buy it off me, but NO sale! *g*

Hi there!
Can you get Kirkland brand film developed anywhere?
Yep - no problem.
If it's really high-quality shots just tell the clerk (but they probably already know) that this COSTCO
film is actually AGFA film.
You'll love it - nice warm tones with high saturation. I used to have mine put on CD so that I didn't
have to scan them and lose quality .
Blackricco - 01:10am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#817 of 1012)
Does the viewfinder not only tell you what exposure you should be at, but what exposure you are
actually at?
Does it show a match needle metering system that shows the correct exposure, and at the same time
show you what aperture and shutter speed you're actually at?
Crimson - 01:11am Jan 19, 2001 EST (#818 of 1012)
Is the Pentax K1000 no longer being made? I have two of them, (and son, who's degree is in

don't care for it.

Thanks OJ. I'll try Kirkland the next time I set up a still life. I've been using Kodak and the photos can

'Course, it could just be me. ;)

I'm making more this year? Bummer.
On the K1000. My first camera, and the best one. I dropped it from a second story window and it
bounced once and still worked. Damn thing only has two moving parts in it I think. My favorite
camera, the Nikon FM2 - the most versatile non-automatic camera I've seen. I like T-Max, thicker
emulsion than TriX.

I saw your post about Win2000. Talk about serendipity. The weekly computer column in the
Commercial Appeal had an inquuiry about using Win2000 today and here is what it said:
Q - I want to upgrade the operating system on my home computer from
Windows98... should I get Windows Me or Windows 2000?
A - If you need the added security Windows 2000 brings to the table, it is worth
considering but NOT if you intend to play games on the box. Windows Me is aimed at the
home market and has lots more device drivers for things like scanners, cameras,
sound cards, joysticks, etc. Windows 2000 is a business system and thus is not intended
for that market. Also, plan to have at least 256MB of memory to have Win2000 be a fun
experience.

Back in 1969 when I got to Subic Bay, I bought a Canon 35mm. Damned thing was built like a tank. I
bounced it all over Vietnam, in helicopters, bunkers, etc., and it worked perfectly every time. I
bought a 75-205mm zoom for it when I got back stateside. Heavy b**tard, but I could compose righ in
the camera and I got some wonderful pictures in the Italian Market in Philadelphia. Like lara said, I
could zoom in and get unposed pictures.
I gave it to my son when I bought my Canon A-1 and the movers stole it from his mantle when he
moved from New Orleans a couple of years later.
The A-1 is a great camera. Fires in all modes but I kept it on manual. Shutter's broken now, but since I
bought the Olympus digital, I wonder if I'll ever use it again. I'll probably get it fixed because my
first love for pictures is B&W.
The cost of a Hasselblad cheated the world out of another Ansel Adams.

Little Johnny came home from school one day and walked into the kitchen. His grandma asked him,
"Johnny , what did you learn in school today?"
Little Johnny replied, "Well, we learned about penises, and vaginas, and sexual intercourse, and
masturbation."
Grandma hauled off and slapped Johnny, hard. He ran up to his room, crying. Little Johnny's mother
walked in and cried, "Ma! Why did you go and hit Johnny!?"
Grandma replied, "Well, I asked him what he learned in school today. He started talking about sex, and
penises, and masturbation!"
Little Johnny's mother said, "Ma! That's what they learn. It's called sex education!"
Well, Grandma felt bad about hitting Johnny, so she went upstairs to apologize. When she opened his
bedroom door she found him on his bed masturbating. Without a blink, she said, "Johnny, when
you're finished with your homework, come downstairs and talk to me."

I worked a week, long side a guy who did stuff for the tupperware layouts. I was astonished at how
long it took to set up a shoot of just one tupperware bowl. They'd take hours to shopt one bowl. I was
major bored and turned down the offer.
Actually, I've probably shot about fifty to one hundred rolls of 35mm in the last ten
years, and most of that was personal.
Most of the stuff I do is 2* and 4x5. I love shooting 8x10, but there's not much call for it
anymore.
I've used 4x5 format in the studio. It beats 120, IMO for portraits, still, etc.
I just can't stay still long enough to work in the studio, or a studio setting, for very long. My passion
is to capture the souls of people and barring that, at least capture a moment in their life where they
are unprotected, unguarded and you can see deep inside. The camera can be magical.

I saw your post about Win2000. Talk about serendipity. The weekly computer column in
the Commercial Appeal had an inquuiry about using Win2000 today and here is what it
said:
Q - I want to upgrade the operating system on my home computer from Windows98...
should I get Windows Me or Windows 2000? A - If you need the added security Windows
2000 brings to the table, it is worth considering but NOT if you intend to play games on
the box. Windows Me is aimed at the home market and has lots more device drivers for
things like scanners, cameras, sound cards, joysticks, etc. Windows 2000 is a business
system and thus is not intended for that market. Also, plan to have at least 256MB of
memory to have Win2000 be a fun experience.
I have Win2000Pro. It's a home version of Win2000, which is a business NT version desigen for
networking.
WinME is Win98 with a service pak and all the problems of win95, win98, and win98se live within.
I do very well in Win2000Pro with 128mB Ram. I love it, it is the most stable system I've ever tried.
Except for the odd unavailable program, it's well worth the experience, considering drivers will be
added to catch up, pretty soon, I'm a hoping.
I'm one who has to have what is hot, now, regardless of availability of the amenities.

people and barring that, at least capture a moment in their life where they are
unprotected, unguarded and you can see deep inside.
Oh great. You come anywhere near me with a camera and ... and ... I'll ... do something.
LOL actually, I do my best work when no one knows I have a camera, or when no one knows I'm
there.
It's is simply amazing what you can capture through the lense when no one is expecting to be caught
on film.
LOL I'm not talking sleezy cheesy shit. I'm talking people who are being people. It's awesome.

Nigel, get her an Olympus point and shoot. IMO novices can't go wrong with an
Olympus point and shoot. Doesn't matter what model (unless you start getting up there
in price) any Olympus point an shoot is a good bet.
Lara, I'm delighted with my Olympus point'n'shoot, but she just came home with a new point'n'shoot
film camera: a Canon IXUS II. That just goes to show how well I know her because I was thinking of
getting her the Canon digital camera that looks just like it. She's an artist and puts more emphasis on
form than function; the small size of the Canon is more important to her than the ease of use of the
Olympus.

Canon makes a fantastic camera, except, up to a couple years ago, not in the point and shoot category.
Theirs was kind of grainy and out of focus.
Of course, I've been out of the biz a few years and they could have really improved that end of their

IT'S BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MONTH!
IT'S GOOD TO BE THE WOMAN
We got off the Titanic first.
We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
Taxis stop for us.
We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival The Speedo.
We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear.
We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
We have the ability to dress ourselves.
We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
If we marry someone 20 years younger, we're aware that we look like an idiot.
There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
We'll never regret piercing our ears.
We can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes.
We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence, because they aren't listening
anyway.

Forgot one:
We have the ability to look you in the eye, while having a conversation, and not be distracted by your

Subject: FW: Clinton's Last Pardon
Mr. John Hinkley
St. Elizabeth Hospital
Washington D.C.
Dear John,
Hillary and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you
are making in your recovery.
In our country's new spirit of understanding and forgiveness we want you to know there is a
bilateral consensus of compassion and forgiveness abroad throughout the land. Hillary and I want
you to know that no grudge is born against you for shooting President Reagan.
We, above all, are aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of
desperation.
As such, as one of my lasts acts as President of the country, I hereby issue you a full pardon and
ordered your release from the hospital as soon as possible.
Hillary and I are confident that you will have made complete recovery and that you should return to
your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive young man.
Best wishes,
Bill Clinton

Subject: Please board the ship...
I was wondering when someone would remember that a lot of entertainers had promised to leave the
country if Bush became President. This was just too good not to pass on....
MOVING CRUISE Attention all disenfranchised liberals:
Would Alex Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Cher, Phil Donahue, David Gephin, Barbara Streisand, Pierre
Salinger, and all other liberals who previously announced they would leave the country if George
Bush was elected President, please report to Florida for the sailing of the Good Ship Lollipop, which
has been commissioned to take you to your new home.
The Florida Supreme Court will sponsor a Farewell Parade in your honor through Palm Beach,
Broward, and Miami-Dade counties prior to your cruise. Please pack for an extended stay...at least four
years.
Your captain is to be Bill Clinton and your cruise director will be Al Gore. Joe Lieberman will be your
purser and Monica Lewinsky will be your recreation director. Your primary job, while self-exiled,
will be to pound sand until such time as you realize the worthlessness of your bleeding-heart-liberal
ways and gain a grasp on reality - which may be never for some of you.
If you have any questions about your final destination, please direct your comments to Hillary. She's
staying behind and will be in charge of nursing whining liberals for the next four years.
Cheers, PS to the travelers - if you invited her, maybe Jane Fonda would go along to provide some
class. How can you go wrong with one of the 100 finest women of the year as a traveling companion?
I may not have been the best president, but I sure had the most fun. ---Bill Clinton

Dusty, here is their small animals emergency phone number. Might be worth a call:
Out-of-hours (Emergency) calls (530) 752-0186
edrieanne - 12:58am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#957 of 1012)
pru, you are a first class ASS!
Pru - 12:59am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#958 of 1012)
Duh, if you've called all the vets and not one can help, your town is in big trouble.
Vets who tend to such little critters are said to treat exotics.
edrieanne - 01:01am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#959 of 1012)
pru, many towns don't even HAVE emergency nite clinics, much less, vets who can treat small
animals like guinea pigs.
please keep out of this, ok? it's hard enough to deal with a sick pet, having a heckler ..... well, go play
elsewhere.
edrieanne - 01:05am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#960 of 1012)
duh,
try the "mother" trick, gently massage his stomach like the mother does the newborn. Sometimes will
help break up gas bubbles or help the blockage pass.
Pru - 01:06am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#961 of 1012)
Edrieanne, wasn't heckling. What is your major problem anyway?
Duh_ - 01:07am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#962 of 1012)

piggie looks like he's dying. vet said to give him little yogurt. and gasx. I didn't give him an warm
water enima but I did put him in a warm bath and put his butt to the facet. he had pine shavings and
stinkies. I think he ate pine shavings and he's blocked...
Duh_ - 01:10am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#964 of 1012)
last night he seemed fine. so whatever this is probably has been happening all day? He's been eating
mangos. Are mangos alrght to feed him??
Duh_ - 01:12am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#965 of 1012)
is gasx bad to give too much of? How do I know if has workd?
edrieanne - 01:13am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#966 of 1012)
Duh,
did you get the vet number of Davis? I don't think that is their billable line. might be worth a try.
This is the top vet teaching hospital in California.
they are 24/7
Duh_ - 01:15am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#967 of 1012)

edrieanne - 01:15am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#968 of 1012)
sorry, Pru, seemed that way, but I'll take your word for it....... been that kinda week.
Duh_ - 01:16am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#969 of 1012)
There's a little green liquid coming out of my pig...is that good?

He'll fart. Sometimes all you can do is wait, Dusty.

Duh_ - 01:25am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#974 of 1012)
the lady on the phone said it isn't there policy to give animal advice if they haven't seen the
animal??? GAWD??
Duh_ - 01:30am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#975 of 1012)
some bullshit about me being in kansas and crap.
edrieanne - 01:33am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#976 of 1012)
damn, I'm sorry, Dusty. I'll try to find another phone emergency service. I used one when one of my
dogs ate something he found that I thought was poisonous.
edrieanne - 01:35am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#977 of 1012)
if the 2am time cuts in, check your email. I'm searching.
Duh_ - 01:43am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#978 of 1012)

Duh_ - 01:45am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#981 of 1012)
I've laid him down in the cage, and he's in pain... i can't help him.
MsRobbie - 01:46am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#982 of 1012)
Dusty, do you have anything you can use to give him an enema? A turkey baster?
edrieanne - 01:47am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#983 of 1012)
just gave davis hell. FINALLY, agreed, because I'm in California, they'll give me advice. go to email
and send me symptoms, or type fast. I'm on hold while they are getting the vet. She is going to get the
vet to come to phone.
Duh_ - 01:48am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#984 of 1012)
I put him in the tub earlier and ran the warm water on him. it seem to help a little, but he got so
tired.. Now he can't move, and if I try to lift him he screams.
Duh_ - 01:50am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#985 of 1012)
He's having convulsions or spasms or something...
MsRobbie - 01:51am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#986 of 1012)
Oh geeze, Dusty, I'm sorry.
edrieanne - 01:52am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#987 of 1012)
type all the symptoms he has had.
She is looking up a kansas number -
for medical teaching hospital the number is 785 532-5690 -
Dr. Jandry suggested you call them as they are closer.
_maggie_ - 01:52am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#988 of 1012)
Dusty, email your phone number.
Blackricco - 01:53am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#989 of 1012)
Kill him! Kill him now. Quick and painlessly. Stomp on him. I'm serious. If you can't help him, put the
poor thing out of it's misery.
MsRobbie - 01:53am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#990 of 1012)
How about a warm washcloth on his tummy?
edrieanne - 01:54am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#991 of 1012)
dusty, can you call the kansas number, they are on another call and the exotic vet can't come to the
phone. do you want me to call?

Guines pig health - emergency care
Duh...hope there's something here to help - it's almost shut down time and wanted to get this out to
you quickly so haven't read it all. Thoughts are with you.
edrieanne - 01:57am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#994 of 1012)
dusty, there is a possibility that there were some toxic woods mixed in shavings (black oak? I think
was one that hit one of our horses at the barn). they are extremely toxic and occassionally get mixed
in.
You may not be able to do anything but hold him and make him as comfortable as you can. Hang in
there, ok? prayers are with you.
edrieanne - 01:59am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#995 of 1012)
call kansas now! THEYY ARE ON PHONE WITH ME BY MISTAKE
785 532-4100
surferchicklet - 02:33am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#996 of 1012)
Dusty... I am sorry..
I emailed the exotics experts... I know with dogs mineral oil can shift some.
Send Maggie your number honey... or can I??
Duh_ - 02:39am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#997 of 1012)
He died. Maggie called me and after I hung up the phone he started convulsing and he died. He
stopped breathing and i couldn't feel his heart anymore. I know he was a rat. Just a small little
animal with not a big brain and pretty much was't a real pet or anything. But I couldn't stop his pain.
I could only sit there and I couldn't help him. he was hurting so much, and there was nothing I could
do. I didn't even think to kill him, I was not very
Duh_ - 02:40am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#998 of 1012)
I should have done something. I should have helped him. I didn't know what to do, or where to go.
SherrieG - 02:43am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#999 of 1012)
Aw, sweetie, you did the best you could.
Guinea Pigs and hamsters only have a finite timeline, Dusty.
You did everything you could think of to do. And you were with him.
Duh_ - 02:46am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1000 of 1012)
I don't know. I'm a grown woman, and I can't stop crying. It was only a guinea pig. I always said that
I know they are going to die, but it is only right that you help them, and keep them from pain
because you take them and make them pets. I couldn't stop the pain, he just kept convulsion and
crying.. He was in pain, and all the things I tried to do, probably just made him feel worse. The other
one is hiding or something. I think he knows the other one is dead. he's never been this quiet before.
I feel like I should have eased his suffering, instead, with the tub of water and the gasx and that
bullshit, I just made it worse.
_maggie_ - 02:48am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1001 of 1012)
I should have done something.
You did, Dusty. You loved him and, like Sherrie said, you did your best and you were with him.
Sometimes that's all you can do, darlin'.
Duh_ - 02:52am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1002 of 1012)
I'm sorry to worry everybody. Really. I just was kupset. I guess I'm still am. God, I made it seem like
the worst thing in the world..
Duh_ - 02:54am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1003 of 1012)
I've never dealt with ANY death before... anyone or anything close to me. Except for pets.
_maggie_ - 02:56am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1004 of 1012)
've never dealt with ANY death before... anyone or anything close to me.
You're doing just fine, darlin'. It's not an easy thing to handle.
Duh_ - 03:03am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1005 of 1012)
I can't iimagine what's its going to be like, when its kodak or afga...

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Duhoney}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
I'm so sorry.
Of course you're crying. Of course you're upset. He was your pet, and you cared about him. Seeing him
in pain would be awful, but you tried to help him. It's all you can do, sweetie.
babblingbrook - 06:56am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1007 of 1012)
oh, Duh...I'm so sorry. Take it easy on yourself - you did everything you could. Wish we could all come

Dusty
I'm sorry to hear about your g-pig. Even though it was "a rat", it was a rat you loved and cared about.
And don't knock yourself about doing something -- you did something very special, you cared for and
loved this animal in its last hours.
That this animal lived in a home filled with such love is one of the greatest things I can imagine.
Dusty, you are truly one in a million.
God bless.
SherrieG - 08:52am Jan 24, 2001 EST (#1009 of 1012)
Dusty, you are truly one in a million.
And that's a pity. The world needs more people like her. I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be friends
with her.

Ditto. About X 100,000,000.

Ah, Duh- reading about your G-Pig was truly a bummer. I'm sorry you had to watch it die.
I've been working at my friend's office for the last week or so, finishing up the year end stuff on the
books (and cleaning up a god-awful mess!) and got to watch her take bladder stones out of a 9 year old
guinea pig. The owner really liked her little critter and I was thinking of you all day.
Unfortunately, the pig did not survive the surgery- she came out of the surgery (anesthesia) but
suffered a heart attack later. My friend told me it was because she was so old, her kidneys could not
filter the anesthesia and it caused her heart to stop.
The owner was truly devoted to the little critter, because I was there that evening after the surgery
was done- and she was there holding and talking to her pet. She died the next day, tho- and when I
learned this yesterday, I thought of you.
We all love our pets, Duh- every one of them is special.
