The real problem may be that companies have a roving eye: they’re always more interested in the customers they don’t have. So they pour money into sales and marketing to lure new customers while giving their existing ones short shrift, in an effort to minimize costs and maximize revenue.
We will be renting out 200 machine guns to the public. We will also be demonstrating our Flame thrower. At the end of each day, we will be doing our "mad minute", where all the machine guns will be shot at once. We will have available Uzi's, Mack-10's, Ak-47's, M-16's,MP-5's, H & K's, Silenced guns, 50 cals, 20 mm's, Belt fed machine guns, canons, and much much more! The cost to shoot these will depend on what caliber and how many rounds you want to shoot.(average cost is M-16 & AK47- $50.00 for 120 rds. Belt feds 50 rds- $35.00. Uzi's $10.00- 25 rds)
» 1928 Tommy Gun, in a custom violin case, very pretty (though apparently you can buy a current violin case but it won't come with the cool interior strap system.) #
There is hope. There is a growing movement to amend the U.S. Constitution, to strip corporations of the legal status of “personhood,” the concept that corporations have the same rights as regular people.
That's literally all I'd ask them in an interview. I'd stand there pointing at a map of the city. Would it be offensive here? What about here? Or how about way over there? And when they finally picked a suitable spot, I'd ask them to draw it on the map, sketching out roughly how big it should be, and how many windows it's allowed to have. Then I'd hand them a colour swatch and ask them to decide on a colour for the lobby carpet. And the conversation would continue in this vein until everyone in the room was in tears. Myself included.
In order to gauge the level of interest in the possibility that one or two parks might be opened to night time trail use, this survey has been been prepared, and is being offered informally to collect some feedback on this idea. To be clear, JCOS is not an author, sponsor or participant in this survey in any way.
I have a pretty decent headlamp for my bike and used to love night riding (generally hoping to not get caught as well.) It's ideal in the summer when it's too hot to ride during the day... #
» Canon EOS 60D Preview. Sigh, here I was hoping for an upgrade to the 50D (especially since I still have a 40D, I figured I'd jump to this new model.) Unfortunately it's no better quality build than a Digital Rebel, they've ruined the x0D-series in the name of "slightly better than consumer". It used to be the x0D was the "pro-sumer, between the mega-expensive full-frame professional and cheap-o beginner models".
With the 60D Canon has unashamedly moved the X0D range out of the 'semi pro' bracket and instead focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel. As a result, it's not the obvious continuation of the 30D - 40D - 50D pattern that its naming might suggest. Rather than being a direct upgrade replacement for the 50D, it's perhaps better understood as a 'Super Rebel.'
» Review: 2010 Kona King Kahuna. I keep thinking about buying a new bike sometime (current one is 8 years old now) but I'm just not sure I want to spend the money to replace something that still works... This one is tempting though, sounds like a great bike. #

» Rummaging Around in the Lightroom Database. Easy enough to do since it's just an SQLite database. One thing I was thinking about doing was pulling a list of files from Flickr that I'd uploaded and setting a keyword or flag in the Lightroom database based on that since I haven't been so good about keeping track. #
» Last Saturday I thought I'd take a quick spin around Buffalo Creek on my mountain bike (for a couple hours). Turns out it was 4.5 hours and 23.09 miles. That'll teach me to go with Ken the Machine. This means I didn't do anything on Saturday evening besides lay on my couch and try not to drool on myself too much... (On a side note I dig the Garmin Forerunner 305, I love the quality and quantity of data it puts out!) #
