Let's play catch up.
It has been a while since my last text post. I was away in St Louis for 7 days with daughter and wife. We did the sights and saw the town so to speak. We went into the Arch. We went to the zoo on a very cold and kind of felt jilted. When we arrived there, not many of the animals were out due to the temperature. We did manage to see a few cheetahs but they were far back in their cages. I barked at them and they looked straight at us. Some people near us laughed and then took the opportunity to shoot a few pics. They did not run to us and jump over the fence. The Elephants were out and we go lots of pics of them. We went to the Penguin area and it was really good, perhaps the best I have been to. At some other parts of the zoo, more animals were out. It was warmer by then.
We then went to the St Louis Museum of Science. IT was really good and had lots of hands on stuff to do. I took a many pics and I posted one of the mummy that they had on display. Here is the link to one of the three pics of that. http://renigade.blogspot.com/2008/03/mummy_2860.html IF you ever make it to St Louis, go there. It is a neat building that stretches over I64. Really cool.
Another day, we did the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour and it was really neat. They took us to several different places in the plant. We went to one of the production lines and were told that 1200 bottles a minute were processed and that another line had 2000 cans a minute!! That is a lot of beer! I did not realize all the products that they made. The factory was very old and it was free. Yeah.
So we also went to The Arch! It is 635feet tall and has an observation deck on top. I took several shots from it and made a panorama shot out of them I will post it tonight. The thing looks like a teleportation gateway to another land or dimension. We also went to the Old Court House. That is where the Dred Scott case was heard back in 1857. The courthouse is framed with the Arch in the back of it. I did a post of this pic several days ago. Here is the link: http://renigade.blogspot.com/2008/04/old-courthouse-in-st-louis.html
I have now returned to normal living. I went to the gym after being off for 2 weeks. I got my butt KICKED tonight. I was sick when I returned from St Louis as was wife and daughter. We got in on last Thursday and then had to go to Myrtle Beach SC for a cheer competition and we were there all last weekend returning on Sunday night at 10.30pm, tired and a little worse for the road. We all now feel better and are almost well.
I am going to close for now…
All have a good night.

The Gateway Arch
I took this at the base of the Arch in St Louis. It is a truly enormous monument to stand beside. It is taller than The Washington monument and The Statue Of Liberty. This was a hard pic to take due to the size. Look at the people standing at the base of it.
F/10 ISO100 Exposure 1/500 Focal 18mm
View From The Arch
I made this pic from 4 different shots. I used Panorama Maker 3.0 to combine them. 635 feet above the city.

St. Louis Zoo
I thought that this one turned out very good for a Macro pic.
King Penguin...
St Louis Zoo Exhibit:
This handsome bird is one of the largest penguin species. It weighs about 33 pounds, second only to the emperor penguin. The king penguin's large size helps it cope with the extreme Antarctic cold and allows it to dive deeper than most penguins.

They're specifically targeting users of the 'Winny' program, trading copied gaming software and music. The article states that a new set of ISP guidelines will be drawn up on how to cut off users who 'leak illegally copied material onto the Net.'"

RIAA - SlashDot Story

| RIAA Will Finally Face the Music In Court |
| from the discovery-channel dept. |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Falstaff writes "[0]Exonerated RIAA defendant Tanya Andersen is expected to [1]refile her malicious prosecution lawsuit against the RIAA today.
The refiling will mark a significant watershed in the RIAA's fight against P2P users because for the first time, the group's tactics, secret agreements, and fee splitting with MediaSentry are likely to come to light, thanks to discovery. Andersen's attorney says he'll be 'digging into agreements between the RIAA, RIAA member companies, MediaSentry, and the Settlement Support Sentry. Part of that will involve looking at compensation, like how much MediaSentry gets from each settlement. "I'd love to know what kind of bounty MediaSentry got paid to supply erroneous identities to the RIAA," Lybeck says.' The judge has barred further motions to dismiss the complaint, which means the RIAA will have to face the music. 'Unlike the thousands of lawsuits filed so far, the RIAA does not have the luxury of walking away from this case if there's a real chance of embarrassing information being released. "Once discovery happens in the cases the RIAA brings, they run," Lybeck says. "This is our case now, and they can't run."'"

Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008 (HR 5353).
I am writing today to urge you to co-sponsor the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008 (HR 5353). This important, bipartisan legislation protects the free-flowing Internet from blocking, censorship and discrimination by powerful phone and cable companies.
Tens of millions of Americans rely upon an open Internet in their daily lives. Our elected leaders must protect our basic right to communicate from those who want to take it from us. The legislation calls for a nationwide series of public hearings about what the future of the Internet should look like -- an important step to bring these crucial issues into the light of day.
Please help in this effort by joining Reps. Markey and Pickering in support of the bipartisan Internet Freedom Preservation Act. Thank you.

Trading Drugs?
This just pisses me off to know ends. On May 5, 2008; i will be 5 years clean and sober and no, i repeat no PILL helped me stop! I was in rehab for 28 days straight and worked a good program for many years afterwards to stop. I did not and do not take a pill to stay off drugs and alcohol. No one paid me to stop, i did it on my own.
My compensation for doing so is a clean, sober life. I do not have to get up and take my "no drugs" pill to stave off the cravings and insanity. But let me digress, without a spiritual awakening and the power of God; it would not have happened and or continue to happen. That is not to say i have to live my life "one day at a time;" i make future plans and i try to be the best person i can be and lead a clean healthy life.
So, i guess my point is, they might come up with a pill to make you not want to use anymore but who wants to be bound with a pill to stop taking drugs? SO you put down the crack pipe for a pill to stop; get the picture? If you want to get sober and clean it can be done. Ask for help and get into a 12-Step program that best suits you habit. AA, CA, NA, they are all good if worked correctly and with divine guidance and prayer they will and can work everyday. You can try the "pill" but you will only trade one substance for another, it might not be as bad; it might cost the same or more; you might fill the craving void, but it is not the correct way...
