Take a look via google for "ir photos".   You'll get stuff like: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/01/11/40-incredible-near-infrared-photos/

Same thing with UV.   (Still need to convert one of my old digital cameras...)

This one may be neater for me.  I tried out a panorama last year while up at the Grand Tetons.  Didn't have the things lined up right and it just didn't work with the tools I had at the time.  Since then found Hugin, which is a Open Source Panorama sticher that pretty much most of the work for you. -> http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

This is a result of seventeen photos put together.  (Full size is ~10 times larger in each dimension)

We had a team jet that had a base NPC "Bob the Pilot" who would never let the Jet get within a mile of a combat.

For a period of time, one of Sam Bell's games.  We had six Bricks and one Martial Artist for a team.   It worked well in that we were a pretty diverse group of bricks.

Finally making a push to catch up on my archives of unedited photos.  Working backwards and April 2013 is the only month to finish for this year.  (Sad thing is, I've got stuff going back to 2008 to look thru)

I did make a character once who was designed to steel items.  He basically had a VPP, with a lim that he could only use it for found gadgets (I kept a list, got up to about 30 lines, with some having multiple copies, so 10 viper blasters or what have you).

I had a character is a far future game named Scavenger.   Archeoligist who had a bunch of various foci from different people in the past plus some more recent aquisition.   Also done with a VPP.

I liked this one

No worse than Jaegermeister straight up.

:barf:

Did some experimental photography while volunteering for Grand 2 Grand

This was a long exposure of the moon.

I still make residual SAN and Beserk rolls on jobs I no longer work at.

iirc, Flying Fish is the resturant my wife shot her wedding ring under someone else's table while playing with it on the table...

Great food as well, but that was close to when they first opened.

One year ago in the mid-evening, while camping in Flaming Gorge in Utah, this little kitten meeped at me. I got a can of cat food for her, then asked around about her. She was too skittish to approach and according to the camp manager, she'd been dumped near the beginning of the summer.

Earlier that day, I learned a friend of mine had succumbed to cancer. I had met Cathy during the rescue effort in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

This wasn't the first time I've seen stray cats while travelling, but having her meep and on the heels of the news of my friend, I knew I'd have to do something.

We didn't have any trapping equipment and my camping companions had other priorities. Since Flaming Gorge isn't that far from home, I knew I could go home and come right back. And she had survived several months by being fed camp scraps, I figured a couple days could be risked. Three days later, I was back in late afternoon with a trap, carrier, some more food and enough supplies to last a few days.

As it was, I found the camp site where she had been fed the night before. After talking with the campers there, I put the trap up with some fancy feast and headed out for a little bit. 1/2 hour later, she was in the trap. I did a quick transfer of her into a carrier (in the bathroom), where I first noticed her tortie face, and then headed back home getting home about 4am.

I feared she'd be a bit feral, but she turned out to be easy to handle, just skittish. She did immediately fall in love with my wife and after having her checked by the vets, was able to introduce her to the rest of our crew. She got on great with the other cats, so we decided to keep her. She's still a little skittish around people other than my wife, but she's getting better.

Yep, you forgot Pantera. Scorpia was one of the Terror Inc people that joined after Terror Inc imploded in 5th. (I think Feuer joined as well?)

They're in Classic Enemies from 1989.

Change Bad!

However, the site has been slow since the hackers were attacking, so this speed doesn't seem any worse than usual. Still unbearable.

The new format, I am not fond of and the speed issue is making me less likely to try to figure it out.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore

My wife made for Valentines a Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake. Might be better than the Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore

The main concern is not the food being photographed (the restaurants seem to see it as good publicity)' date=' but rather the problems posed to other diners by photography (flash photography in particular).[/quote']

 

Yep. I have no issue with cracking down on flash photography.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Sounds like that ad was: "Ad Council "Boss of Prison Gang" Commercial"

"She's talking about one of those v-chip commercials. A lady is sitting outside talking to a bunch of "prisoners" from some fake TV show, saying that she loves the show but it's too violent - are you going to stop shivving each other in the prison yard, so she has to block them. One of the prisoners corrects her and says "Shanking, it's a verb, to shank". Then they are offered lemonade. "

Found the description, but not the actual video.

Re: "Neat" Pictures

Lego has always seemed to have a better than usual customer service.

Re: "Neat" Pictures

Lack of money?

That's my excuse right now, though I found a bag of Lego at a thrift store last month cheap. Nothing too exciting, just some bricks at cheaper than usual.

Re: "Neat" Pictures

OK, I'll have to give her some respect for that. I've only seen the ads for the show and it's horrific.

Re: The cranky thread

I'm blaming this episode on a combination of factors. I've got some sort of crud in my sinuses that, along with Vegas humidity, has dried them out. I've recently had a change in shift (starting an hour earlier), and I've taken half a diazepam (roughly a 5mg dose) on a couple of nights, including last night. I'm guessing that the diazepam didn't actually let me drift into restful sleep. I'm going to try some saline nose spray tonight to see if it helps.

 

It's been about a dozen years since my last sleep study, which basically said that I had a mild case of sleep apnea. That was also when I was 50 lbs heavier. My plan (set with my doctor) is to lose another 35 lbs or so, which should also help. I'll ask my doctor the next time I visit if he thinks that a new sleep study is needed, just in case.

 

And thank you all for the advice; it's a really cool thing about this board that folks genuinely care about others, and are very supportive.

Ah cool. Sounds like you have it covered. Sinus issues are there own sort of deal. (Had mine cleared out and straightened as well. Apparently my nasal/throat area was not designed well)

Re: Hero Central Down for??

Thanks Dan for your work!

Re: The cranky thread

Good advice. I couldn't possibly have known without a sleep test just how interrupted my breathing is when I sleep. My doctor tells me' date=' frighteningly, that I am one of his five most severe sleep apnea patients. With the CPAP, I'm actually finding that I only need about six hours of uninterrupted sleep a night to feel pretty darned good in the morning--previously I was sleeping more like ten hours just to get by.[/quote']

 

Pretty much what happened with me. I knew I snored, but after my wife (then GF) moved in, she noticed I stopped breathing, then woke up briefly with a snort, then fell asleep again. Which woke her up a lot.

Had a sleep study, the doctor scheduled surgery from that (3 weeks later) and I was lucky that I fell into the catagory that benefited from surgery. (about 50%).

 

Losing weight helps a lot as well.
