DIA to MCO on United

The conversion from full frame to digital (actually APS-C size size) is dependent on the camera used. On Canon cameras the conversion factor if 1.6, on Nikon 1.5. So on a Nikon a 70-200 would be a 105-300.

Well Brian Ching was brilliant in week one but unfortunately he was brilliant at my side's expense. So that was a very painful game for me to watch. The only consolation I have is that he know has the opportunity to recreate that form for the USA in Germany! We really have to win our group to...

I assume you are talking about me here Corrus. If that is the case please allow me to point out that I never showed any anger towards you, never insulted nor threatened you in any way. If you don't care for the sport, that is your perogative. There are many sports that I do not enjoy so I don't...

Corrus, I never said you weren't allowed to post here. You can say anything you want to here or on any other thread you would like. What is or is not allow is at Steve's discretion alone. I mearly pointed out that I felt it was very rude of you to come in here and begin insulting something...

Thank you Corrus for making you opinion quite clear. However, since this is a thread for those of us who do enjoy the sport it might be more polite for you to refrain from any additional comment on this subject.

I would love to say the USA but I am keeping my expectations realistic. With the group we have I will be happy to see us through to the next round (where we will most likely be drawn against Brazil).

The best travel tripod on the market (if you want to travl light) is the Ultra-Pod II. It can be set on any surface or can be velcroed to railings, lamp posts, etc. The Gorillapod also looks pretty interesting but probably not as compact to carry. If you don't want to carry a tripod look for a...

I'm in. So who do you think will win it all? I am leaning towards Argentina at this point.

More and more pay at the pump sites are asking for your zip code as a way of determining their approximate trading area. I always put in something as far away as I can think of. I really don't feel like I should have to give them that information just to fill my tank up.

After the experience you had you should feel even safer. I say this because the statistical likelyhood of you ever experiencing anything like that on a plane again is probably an order of magnitude less than the likelyhood of winning the lottery 5 times in a row! :) Also keep in mind that the...

Another "unhappy flier" here. I would recommend Ativan (lorezpam). It is a fairly mild but very effective anti-anxiety medicine that you can take for a couple of days before and during the flight. I just completed to 9 hour flights within a week and was actually able to sleep and enjoy a few...

Sounds like Blender is going to be your best bet. It is Open Source (read Freeware) and when combined with YAFRAY capable of creating some pretty impressive results (check out the sample gallery here). Although each program functions pretty differently I would think the most important thing...

I think you have comeplety nailed it Magic Maker. Having the freedom to do anything you want is a bad thing if you don't have the maturity and consideration to think of how your actions affect others. This is something that is sadly lacking in our understanding of what it means to be a...

p l u c k i n g ??? b u c k i n g ??? m u c k i n g ??? Did I miss one? :p :animwink:

I did really enjoy it. It's kind of an odd book in that it doesn't have a huge amount of plot (especially for how long it is). It is more just a series of episodes with some threads the loosely hold it together. It was just a fun world to inhabit for me. But I would say it is definitely worth...

I just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and loved it so much I had to immediately start re-reading Amercian Gods. Thus will probably be next for me although I am feeling motivated to re-read Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. Seems like the perfect book to take to England with me next month.

Thanks Laura. I actually have a duck shot from AKL I thought about entering but tigers seem to be pretty popular around here so I thought I would go with this one.

Hey Laura, I just wanted to tell you that my favorite podcast, Tips From The Top Floor, has an interview with a professional wedding photographer (Scott Robert Lim). I haven't had a chance to listen yet but typically these interviews are very enlightening.
