For CHDK users on the SX40 I found on EBAY an AA External Battery Emergency USB Charger For iPod iPhone. Sold by sgbyincons for $1.75 and free shipping from China. It took 12 days to get to me. It allows you to use the cameras USB cord, like the old fashioned shutter cable releases to remotely take pictures. No it is not a wireless remote, but it does eliminate camera shake from depressing the shutter button. However, you must use the latest CHDK download, the older versions do not work. ver 1.3 works great.

Just received today PhotoZoom Classic 6 for 19.95. Ordered from Serif.

The old saying still holds, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight" So I carry both. No, I'm not paranoid, I'm a good "boy scout -- always prepared."
I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.

Many of my negs are 4X5 and medium formats. Todays scanners for med and large formats are way too expensive. I've used a light box and just took pics of them. Slow? yes, but I'm retired and spent maybe 3 or 4 hours a week until I got all (not all that I had) that were memorable to me and mine. If no light box, I taped a sheet of bond to the window and neg to the paper and did it that way too.

I didn't ask you to move here. I've been to Florida, it is a nice place to visit -- but too many old people there (just kidding on both points). The thing I like most about Oklahoma is the people -- for the most part they are friendly and kind. Got here in 1961 (Thanks to the Army) and consider myself to be an "Oklahoma Improved New Yorker"

Today it is 1.87 at many stations around Oklahoma City.

WOW! Spent many a Christmas, other holidays, kids birthdays away from my family. This old soldier watched this through tears. Thank you for posting this video. I will pass it on to all in my address book.

Wait! Are you telling me my wife is married to you too?

I like it as it is, the vignetting is very nice. Where Upstate? I used to live in Rochester NY -- some call that upstate, some call it western NY. Many equate NY with NYC and miss out on the beauty of the state. Though I'm glad I no longer live in NY, your photo brings back fond memories of 4 seasons.

You're kidding, right? Both rabid liberal propagandists, and you want to quote them?

The terrorist was not killed, but wounded. Oklahoma self-defense law Title 21, section1289.25, f states "A person who uses force, as permitted pursuant to the provisions of subsections B and D of this section, is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force. As used in this subsection, the term "criminal prosecution" includes charging or prosecuting the defendant."

I carry, so I keep up with the law

I live in Moore, OK. 1 mile from the beheading of a woman at work the other day. The terrorist was on his way to beheading a second victim when a good guy with a gun (hated by the gun-grabbers), stopped him by shooting him. I'm sure the libtards would have rather he called 911 and wait for the police to handle the situation. I can see the police huddling in the parking lot, waiting for SWAT to arrive, and then assess the situation and 20 minutes later entering the building, added to the 10 to 15 minutes to arrive in the first place. I wonder how many more would have died? One thing to keep in mind, no matter how good the police are, and here in Moore the police are good -- when the threat and danger are seconds away, the police are minutes away, the average response time is 11 minutes. I'll take the good guy with the gun. And that is why I carry concealed every day and everywhere I am allowed to carry. If I'm not allowed to carry in a store or a eatery, I go to their competitor and spend my money.

Oops, just noticed in the downloaded version that it was stamped Oklahoma Leather, Miami I.T. The last church I pastored was in Miami (I.T. Indian Territory) OK. A great little city.

Did you make the holster and belt? If you did, you did a fine job, both in the photo and the leather work. I make holsters (as a hobby) and have done two for "six shooters" but most for the more modern era so semi-autos.
