Wild Orchid HDR - Key West, FL This orchid was growing wild out of a palm tree in Key West. I took three shots at different exposures and pulled together into an HDR.

Welcome Wacky! Always enjoy playing with you.

Greetings Drooler.....

Say hello to my little friends..... Colt Defender 1911 .45 ACP. I conceal this IWB with hybrid holster and OWB with carbon fibre holster in colder months with sweatshirt / jacket with ease . A tad heavy for some, and a little unwieldy to get used to at first because of the 3" barrel. But once you're honed in with it, this gun is absolute heaven. LOVE this gun! Very easy to break down and clean. Remington R1 1911 .45 ACP. A rock solid performer. Full size and heavy. Accurate as heck though. Not a good handgun for concealing. Can be a bit of a pain to breakdown to clean, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. Sig Sauer P238 .380 ACP. Fantastic handgun. Very easy to conceal, easy to shoot, easy to break down and clean. Beware of getting 'bitten' by the slide (especially for larger hands). My 'go to' for concealing IWB with lighter clothing (i.e. shorts / t-shirts).

I conceal my Colt Defender 1911 .45ACP pretty much every where I go (including the grocery store)

Small caliber with high velocity, am I right?

I was gonna say, you don't kill like a NOOB. Welcome!

Welcome DMan!

Is this actually a vacated hornets nest that the bird has decided to nest in? Very interesting!

Sounds like an awesome trip! The D810 is an amazing camera. Can't wait to see your photos! Safe travels!

Happy Birthday Rami!

Get back here so I can kill you! Hang tough Toes, be well.

Welcome!

Having built systems with Gigabyte, Asus and ASRock M/B's, I would be hard pressed to go with anything other than ASRock anymore. My last two have been rock solid and dependable. I will take dependability over a slight improvement in performance any day. A faster computer isn't going to make a big difference in my skill level. Right Ayaq?

Welcome! And I am a pro at eating Ayaq's nades.....

I agree. I just dropped in an Asus GTX970 4GB and am very happy with its performance.

From one noob to another, welcome!

Welcome!

Yea for a couple of days it was intermittent like that. I would exit the game a couple of times, then reconnect and it would work. Not the past couple of days....tried many times to no avail.

Funny you should ask. I grabbed the IP address off the main website: 162.248.95.177 Then I used the game console and issued the connect command and joined the server. I added the server to my favorites and that is where I usually connect from. But I do not even see the server in the complete server list when I refresh now.... Odd.

Having trouble getting into COD4 Freeze Tag Server 1 When I have tried to join the past couple of days I am getting: Awaiting Key Code Authorization, then it times out. I have been playing in the server the past week or so, but haven't been able to get in for a couple of days. People are in the server, I just can't join. Did you block me? Am I missing something (Patch, update, config)? Any help (except Ayaq's) is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Smeg

Welcome!

Bodie Island Lighthouse with Milky Way I took this in September while vacationing in Outer Banks of NC I setup my Canon 5D MK III (on tripod of course), Canon 24-70 f/2.8L USM. ISO 5000, f/2.8 @ 13 seconds using remote shutter release. Sorry about the watermarks, I am talking with the lighthouse foundation about some of the photos.

This was taken at the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna river on the border between MD and PA Eagles frequent the area because of the abundance of fish that get 'chummed' up in the hydroelectric dam. If you're a bird photographer / watcher, this is one of the highest concentrations of Bald Eagles East of the Mississippi.
