A Swedish skydiver with a GoPro on his helmet jumped from a plane at 10,000 feet, and after less than a minute, the GoPro broke free and fell to the ground. Fascinating video.

I saw that and didn't know at first that the camera had come off his head. Then, with all that spinning and dizziness that would follow, I fully expected him to just go splat!

Very interesting, but the problem with electric cars is that there is no V8 exhaust note, whether it be a low rumble, or an ear piercing crackle. That's why we love V8s, right? :-) :-) :thumbup:
Aw yes Duke and the throaty roar coming back out of the carbs!

Hi neds, Yes, we feed them in the same as in the summer. A mixture of 4 parts sugar to 2 parts water and NO coloring. They make special hummer feeders available in pet stores. Much fun!

Fezz, That is amazing, do you feed them in the winter?

There's a new back pack bag that just came out. It's called Paxel and has a separate compartment at the bottom that you can release with a small button in the front that allows the bottom compartment to hinge all the way around to the front where it can re-attach in front. A zipper cover then gives you access to whatever you stored in that compartment such as lenses, filters, etc. It looks great. I don't know the cost but you could Google Paxel and get what you want I think.

We get a lot of hummers through the summer and in the winter 3 of them stay and live in a big old cedar tree next door. Here is one of the ones that stuck around this winter. However, this photo was taken in May I believe

I am having cataract surgery on the 29th and 13th. Left eye first and then dominant right eye second. I have been told that I will have to wear and eye patch for several weeks. I can't imagine not being able to make photographs for almost a month. What can any of you who have had this surgery share with me as to what I can expect?
Hi David,
I recently (last month) had both eyes done 2 weeks apart. I only had to wear the eye patch for 1 week per eye and then only to keep from bopping my eye while sleeping. So only wore the patch at night in bed. As far as photography during the process, no problem at all. In fact, the improvement in my vision as a result of the surgery made photography easier. Good luck!

Does a camera with a memory card loaded with pictures weigh more than the same camera when the memory card is blank? And is the camera even heavier when the battery is fully charged? Let's say you start out with a blank memory card and a fully charged battery in the camera. As you take more and more pictures, does the increasing weight of the memory card offset the decreasing weight of the battery? Inquiring minds want to know. :) :roll:
If you are looking through the rangefinder preparing to take a picture, does the view increase the weight of the camera even more than capturing the picture? And, if you zoom in and out does the weight go up and/or down accordingly?

I didn't realize that so many cars required premium gasoline. That's a definite consideration when buying a new car. The Mini, Smart, and Fiat 500 all require the expensive stuff.

I bought a new Lexus GX470 V8 in 2004 and in spite of the owners manual saying to use premium fuel, the dealer told me that plus was good enough. I now have 100,000 miles on the car and it is running just fine and I have never detected any pre ignition pinging. So I am saving about 10 cents per gallon and buying better wine!

A train derailed as it was transporting unfinished Boeing 747 bodies. Now what? Talk about a nightmare. Not only the cleanup, but the insurance hassle.

We had a young Bald eagle visitor in our back yard a month ago. He was near the top of an old dead alder.

I'm sad to see this plane fade into history. It was my favorite when I had to fly anywhere. Good article. The building where it was assembles was so large that clouds would form near the ceiling.

Jerry, I don't think that the 747 will be fading away very soon! Boeing keeps on updating and upgrading these beauties for both passenger and freight use. They are up to dash 9 now. That huge building is where they also build the 767, 777, 787 and soon the 777X. It is just 10 miles from my house and we see overflights almost every day.
