Can I get mine in progressive bifocals?

Scott: I don't think it sounds crazy. It doesn't seem to have any down sides and it might pick up you up a few clients if you offered it. As a second option you might invest in a one room musical school house, like the one I saw sitting outside of a local music store yesterday.

According to their website the City of Salem has several parks that have facilities that can be reserved. http://www.cityofsalem.net/Departments/CommunityServices/ParksManagement/ParkReservations/Pages/ReservingaParkArea.aspx The Cascades Gateway Park is just off I-5 and has several lakes. I haven't been to any of them, but maybe some of our Salem members have or could take a look for us. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Salem&state=OR&address=2100+Turner+Rd Bob

Mudskipper Pictures Joel: Thanks for having us down Friday afternoon. It was great fun to see your coldwater tank again and especially the mudskipper tank. The world could use many more teachers with your dedication and enthusiasm. Here are some pictures of Joel's Skippers.

Scott: Thanks for the advice. I have thought of taking lessons. The problem is I can't find one that does house calls, between the time my daughter goes to bed and when I fall in bed. I did the next best thing I could think of. I bought a guitar stand and set it next to the TV. That way any time I spend staring at the TV, my guitar stares back at me, pleading to be picked up. So far it has worked pretty well. Bob

Too bad I don't live closer to Portland, or maybe we could work something out. I've been trying to teach myself America/Folk fingerstyle for the last year. It's just like reefkeeping, nothing good happens fast. You don't happen to know of any local fingerstyle guitar websites?? Bob

PM sennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt

Joel: I will check tomorrow and make sure they still in reasonable shape and then I could drop them off one evening this week or next weekend sometime. Bob

Dennis: You are right. The two 20's are from them. Nobody has asked for them for the T4T program, so I thought I would see if anybody wants them. I'll drop a note to RoseCity and see if they can use them. Right now they are just taking up space. Bob

We have a couple of small glass tanks that are available for any teacher that wants them: 10 gallon 18T drilled for over flow. 2 x 20 gallon drilled for overflow. Bob

Does the power strip have a fuse/breaker in it?

Sounds like a good start to a lesson on experimental evolution, or lack there of.

Dennis: Have you looked at the articles by Randy Holmes-Farley? He has written a number of articles describing the kind of issues that you describe. Here is one that I find useful: http://web.archive.org/web/20021127040526/http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm. Bob

The money is also used to keep this site up and online. Also if you joint you will get a say in where the club spends its funds and what the club does in the future,

There is a link on the left side of the home page where you can join.

Andy: Thanks. I'll have to print a couple out and mount them and bring them to a meeting. So much of the detail is lost, when displayed for the web.

Here are a couple with some water in them keeping with the Clubs theme:

It's not a fixed aperature. It mounts in a standard mechanical leaf shutter. I think the aperature is something like f8-f128. The front element is rather typical for large format, 67mm. Thats why my camera bag looks likes this:

When we had an out break of macro in our tank last summer, here is what I used to get rid of it.

Andy: I have heard that about old flashes, though I have a ten year old Sunpak that I have used on my D80 without any problems. Another place to look for used equipment is: www.mpex.com. I have bought used lenses from both them and KEH and they have looked like new when I got them. They actually have the lens that I want in stock now. The only problem is that it's $1400.00 used:eek:

When we bought our D80 a couple of years ago we also looked at the D200. They are both pretty much the same camera except the D200 has a magnesium body. In my opinion any recent DSLR will do more than you need. We bought the D80 with the 18-55 kit lens. We then bought a couple of used lenses from www.keh.com at a fraction of the cost of new lenses. Remember that great lenses and flashes have been made for decades. The only thing that you have to be sure of is what functions will work on your new DSLR. For example I have a 40 year old Nikon Micro 105 that takes great pictures, but without auto focus or metering. In the end, the choice of camera, lens, etc. is more about convenience and status symbol than picture quality. The things that lead to great pictures are: 1) Choice of Subject- be at the right place at the right time, or have great looking corals in your tank. 2) Photographers ability- practice, practice, practice. 3) Control of lighting 4) Choice of Lens 5) Choice of camera body

We got one of these for Christmas. Price was < $300 from Amazon. We run Debian linux and all open source applications.: Browser: Firefox Office suite: Open office Photo editing: Gimp, Picasa
