This was taken in O'Fallon Illinois while we were on vacation in St Louis. I thought that it was very strange looking the way that it was trimmed for the winter.

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.

Camera Stuff...

I was able tonight to go and shoot over a freeway after dark. You may have looked at pics like this before. All you can see are the cars lights going by where you are shooting from and the ambient light. This is an example of what i am talking about:
















I am not able to upload the pics that i have taken as i do not have access to a media card reader at the moment. I will try to upload them on Thursday Night. They are taken at various ISO speeds and Time Exposures as well and also facing looking West and East on I64 in St. Louis, MO. They turned out really good if i do say so myself.

55 seconds and counting...

This is a 55 second exposure off the deck of my home. The time i took the pic was 8.17pm. It is a cloudy night and not as much light as was in the other pic. The ISO speed was 3200 and F/22. I am getting very close to the look i want. It is just hard to hold the button down as this was in the BULB mode.

New Internet Setup...

We bought a new Router and Wireless card for the home setup this weekend. I have used Linksys routers for over 6 years and have 3 of them now. I have a very old 4-port BEFSR41, and Wireless BEFW11S4 (B Band)and now the Wireless-N Home RouterWRT150N. I disconnected both of the old ones and hooked the new one up. Very easy setup for it.

WRT150N
  • Internet-sharing Router and 4-port Switch, with a built in speed and range enhanced Wireless Access Point
  • MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 3 times farther and reduces dead spots
  • Up to 9 times faster than Wireless-G, but also works great with Wireless-G and -B devices
  • Wireless signals protected by wireless encryption, and your network protected from
I am very impressed with the ease in which it set up compared to the old B-Band which i had many problems with. We also purchased a new Wireless-N USB Network Adapter.
WUSB300N
  • High-speed Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) networking for your desktop or notebook computer
  • MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels up to 4 times farther and reduces dead spots
  • Up to 12 times faster than Wireless-G, but can also connect to Wireless-G and -B networks
  • Wireless transmissions protected by up to 256-bit encryption

This was a dream to set up!! The security feature on the router and wireless adapter was incredible easy!!

[0]modemac writes "Four major Japanese telecom organizations, which represent 'about 1,000 major and smaller' domestic ISPs, have [1]agreed to forcibly cut the Internet connection of filesharers. 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."'"
