    3 dead, 30 wounded in shootings this weekend.

    Funny how Americans says guns don't kill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate Are you trying to says that the cops are being victimized? IMHO, anyone who can't work professionally in theirs job, should seek a different occupation, instead of...

    Daughter sues parent for College Tuition and wins.

    Perhaps it is a pittance to some, but I think the judge is compelled by the law, hence his ruling is to get the 3 people involved in this case pay 1/3 of the yearly tuition if the tuition is $12,000 per semester.

    Sony A7 mk ii release?

    I would be great if 3rd parties crank out lenses for Sony FF. However, I think if it does happen it will be slow because the Sony market share is slim.

    Sony A7 mk ii release?

    Canikon 50mm f/1.8 are around $100-225, and f/1.4 are around $400. Unfortunately you already committed to the Sony system. Because, if size and weight isn't a concern then the Nikon D600 or D610 + Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens would be a better buy IMHO.

    Daughter sues parent for College Tuition and wins.

    There must be more to the story, however it sounds as if the judge must grant the spoiled brat $16,000 tuition per year due to the retarded state law. A related story. A friend mine and her husband who are now physician specialists. They got where they are due to the retarded law that divorced...

    Sony A7 mk ii release?

    Sony built quality is right in the middle of the pack, and their repairs turn around time is slower than Canon but quicker than Nikon. That said, if I spend $2,000 on the camera body I would like to see more than just 7 native mount lenses and accessories, as well as expect the IS (OSS) and...

    San Francisco Cop Attacks Man for Recording, Jails him Overnight on No Charges

    The police do not have the right to order the man to leave the airport or arrest him, because the man isn't involve in a criminal activity in a public place. Unless the US of A police are now the Gestapo. [add] City of Chicago v. Morales

    Once again, a brave cop goes home tonight

    Tamir Rice's mom: "I'm looking for a conviction" It is funny that the cops call their criminal activities "excessive and unnecessary force" instead of murders, attempted murders, and aggravated assault.

    Once again, a brave cop goes home tonight

    IMHO, the police department, the perps, and the police union should all be name in the lawsuit in this matter, because they are all in cahoot with each others to protect criminals and crimes of the men in blue.

    Once again, a brave cop goes home tonight

    As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the Know Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes, foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should...

    Can you buy a bazooka in the US?

    I didn't know that you can shoot things in Vietnam. I was in Vietnam and Cambodia 2 years ago, and one of my taxi driver keep asking if I want to go to the shooting range where you can shoot small arms to canons at target including live target such as cows, chicken, goats, and pigs...

    any news on when Canon will announce their next set of FF cameras?

    Canon 5D mk2 was released at the end of 2008, and Canon the 6D mk2 going to move up market, therefore it is likely that the 5D mk4 will cost more than the 5D mk3 released price of $3500. I was waiting for the 5D mk4 to come out to see if it worth it for me to upgrade after it drop below...

    Flathead Lake Shelter Island http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islands/shelter-island-estate It is hard to say what the property is worth. It look like a nice place that is about 45 min on water from small towns. However, I'm inclined to say that the owner is a bit of a douche for...
