Just an update- We went back to the restaurant today and bad waitress was working. I quickly grabbed one of the good waitresses and asked if we could be seated in her section. I also asked to speak to the owner but he was out today. Our waitress today made a comment, first thing out of her mouth, &q...

I like the black and white, but I tend to lean towards black and white naturally, and, as WMW pointed out, the background of the color photo bugs me for some reason. It's the pinkish color, it gives me a really weird feeling when I look at it and I just can't get past the mood it creates for me. It ...

I like a good black and blue burger, and while I haven't tried black and blue steak, it sounds just as yummy. Of course I like to dip things like wings in blue cheese dip, and they say that peaches, like grilled peaches, go incredibly well with blue cheese. You can also use it make most anything &qu...

Even though it's flooding everywhere around me, I have not been flooded out and our town is not flooded, nor is the community where I have Basco. Yay for that! lol I finally have water back on at my house. It seems I had a leak somewhere that was ongoing for about a week before I realized it (no act...

Those do look nice.

I have a friend that did a similar thing, but she used the blackboard paint stuff to make her own out of wood. I'll have to see if I can find the photos of them.

I thought this was interesting too. What becomes of the troop now that their male is gone?

Every glueon that I have seen or used looked like this (or had the web at the top): https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sl61f8Bl9T0/maxresdefault.jpg I misspoke when I said metal part because I couldn't tell from the front angle that the whole rubber part was sticking out as well.

As far as the hooves go, It looks to me like maybe the horse has "easyboots" on? http://www.easycareinc.com/our_boots/easyboot_Glue-On/easyboot_glue-on.aspx I found this on FB after googling him and the horse https://www.facebook.com/KentFarringtonLLC/photos/a.391171837582565.96630.380660...

Are those the boots that bite a bit or something like that? I think it's not so much the boots, which look like plain old open fronts, but the shoe job. :O My guess, the horse had glue ons on which left that little ridge thing when removed. As for the placement of the metal shoe? I have no idea. Ju...

At first I was like, well, it's just standard open fronts, but now I see what you are talking about.

When we have these highly endangered species, maybe rather than a zoo, they need a remote area away from the crowds, stupid people, etc to bring them back from near extinction. Basically save them from US! While I agree with this line of thought, the issue then becomes "Who is going to pay for...

They did try to bring the gorillas in, but the silverback would not return to the gorilla house, even after all of the others went inside the house.

I read that police are looking at the parents only, and not any part the zoo played in the incident.

Racetrackreject

Jane Goodall, who is widely recognized as one of the most renowned primate experts in the world, sees it differently: “I tried to see exactly what was happening—it looked as though the gorilla was putting an arm round the child—like the female who rescued and returned the child from the Chicago exh...

Oh wow, I had never heard of the penny thing. It almost sounds like a mob thing, you know horse head in the bed, fish wrapped in newspaper, penny upside down on the table..lol.

I agree, it's a horrible situation, and I'm sad that the gorilla had to pay the price. But, I think it was the choice that had to be made. Even if the gorilla didn't mean to injure the child, he could have easily, just by accident. Even tranqing the gorilla posed a danger to both beings because who'...

I did something today that I have never done in my entire life. I did not leave any tip at all for my server. I wasn't really sure how else to handle the situation and the owner was busy, so I couldn't speak with him directly. What would you have done? There is a small restaurant in town where my ca...

No one wants to fail, people do not always have clear role models, I tend to err on the side of most people are doing the best they know how to do.

And of course if you pick one of the dates and say, "Ok, we'll see you on the 6th", then they will say that that date won't really work for them and can they not still get the 13th. ........

Welcome to my life. Literally, every single day I get the same thing from at least one person.

Grats! Post some of your photos please. We have a general photography thread on DDBB, and I think most of us, except Suzon, are Nikon users too.

That's great! Keep us updated. I'm thinking of joining you actually. Yesterday, I heard these words escape my mouth when I was talking to my SO, "I'm thinking of taking up riding lessons again". I'm not really sure where it came from, but it just popped out. Clearly it's something I've bee...

Racetrackreject

LOL! I did play in the dark, but I just shot in shutter priority since I was only shooting my one friend and I wanted to see how smart the camera is in those situations. Something is not quite right with exposure and everything seems a bit overexposed imo. I still haven't really played around with e...

I'm at work, but a few test photos with the nifty fifty on the cam. The shutter sounds clunky to me. It's not as crisp as my 610. Idk, i haven't played with the buttons yet, just enough to get it going. Also, I took these in raw, and the camera shot them automatically to my phone, so there is no edi...

It's here, it's here! That UPS man makes me so mad. He showed up about 12 minutes after I would have been already gone for lunch and says, "huh, you must have waited to go to lunch for this one". So he knew, he knew that was showing up at lunch and no one should have been here. Anyway, I h...

RTR??? Any knock on the door yet? Not yet, so I ordered pizza and I'm going to stay through lunch so that I don't miss UPS in case they come.

I don't think it's bad at all, definitely not a complete failure. I do think that you can make it closer to the emotion you wanted with some light shading and fill work.

Table jumps are problematic, period. They've tried to make them safer by mandating that the back of the table must measure higher than the front so that the horse can actually see that it's a large spread, but it's not really enough. One study on fence design safety recommended that tables be no dee...

I've looked at this before and there are a number of places where you can do a hands on immersive course.
