Re: Nice Planet XI: Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
There's definitely some sort of hanky-panky going on here. Either the news outlet lied to get people on the government's side (NDAA now permits this), or the "militants" are a part of a staged act in order to goad the people into giving up more rights.

Lemme guess. The Bundy family are covert federal agents?

It's possible. It does seem a bit odd that the Bundy incident didn't receive much attention outside of the alternative sites, but all of a sudden this one is... perhaps a dress rehearsal?

I disagree with the push to classify every redneck who waves a gun and shouts hate speech as a "TERRORIST!" They're all talk. The streets are not about to be running red with the blood of BLM foresters.

Far healthier for us to point and laugh than to call in the drone strikes.

I want those idiots on TV every day until the election. Whenever the Daddy Took An Oath idiot opens his mouth a thousand more undecideds become Democrats. They are bringing to the surface the stupidity and insanity of the paranoia than underpins Republican rhetoric in a way that only comedians have been able to. They are a Godsend.

Re: Nice Planet XI: Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
Yes, they make Republicans look bad by association. But separating them as "terrorists" and/or starting a shooting war isn't going to further that agenda. It'll just prove that they're put-upon victims of a hostile government.

They're Mormons. It's better to point and laugh.

Someone sent them a bag of dicks.
I believe that Oeration: Point & Laugh is well under way.

I agree completely. These bozos don't get to be martyrs, they just get to freeze their butts off until they slink away with some argle bargle about having saved America.
The one pro-ISIS dude gets a visit from the guys who talk into their lapels, however.

The Wisconsin high school athletic association wants students to stop chanting things like "Airball" and "Scoreboard" during basketball games.

Listen you ****ers...
As a side, I shoot photos for my son's high school hockey team and in doing so, I am up above the glass on a ladder at about the dots most of the time. Basically right above their heads as they skate by.
If the WIAA could hear what these players are saying to each other, they'd probably shut down all high school athletics and send everyone to sensitivity training.
A favorite, and this one is rated G, but... a player of ours says to one of theirs as they set up for a faceoff at a crucial time... "Does your coach know you're in the game?"
I know it's been used before but i hadn't heard it. I almost lost it.

Yeah, my kid learned all sorts of new words in squirts when he started traveling, and new usages of those words.
That is a good one.

Re: Nice Planet XI: Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
This is the most difficult thing I had to do when I was a journalist, I still have nightmares about going through a zillion thumbnails and having zero usable photos. The lighting in most of those rinks is terrible, it's at distance and speed, and it's cold. I'm not technically proficient with cameras by any means, but still, I admire anyone who has the patience and know-how to do this well.

I've been at it (hockey photography) since my kid was a squirt and he is now a junior. I've been a photography hobbyist though for probably 25 years and I also use it in my profession shooting photos of remodeling interiors.
I enjoy shooting my son's games now that I'm no longer coaching. I know if I couldn't do it, I would appreciate another parent providing me with photos of this time in my kid's life and ours.
I know what you're saying about rink lighting and other factors. I typically shoot between 500 and 1000 photos of a game and usually 20% of those are usable. The bad ones either show nothing of interest, are blurry or have someone skate through the foreground of what otherwise would have been a great shot. That last one happens a lot.
The game photos from the past two seasons on the team Facebook site are mine:

Re: Nice Planet XI: Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
One year of bantams one of the other dads (goalie's dad) was a professional photo editor. We had GREAT photos that year. One of the other dads was flipping through them on his laptop on a plane and his seatmate asked him "do all the Edina teams have pro photographers?" He said "yeah, pretty much."
ETA: Great shots, Gurt!
ETA@: Wow, you REALLY zoom in. Makes it much harder. The dad I spoke about was a little further out in his shots which often showed more of the sense of the action. He did a great sequence of my kid going in on goal and scoring where you really could see what was happening.

Some students (and entire sections) are now showing up at games with tape over their mouths, according the the WIBA (1310) Madison morning guys. At least starting out the games by just sitting. Pretty funny.

Don't they all have team surgeons, yacht captains and food chewers too?
Thanks. I have those sequences too, but I don't often post them because (due to shallow depth of field) usually parts of them are out of focus. When they turn out though, they look pretty cool as you say, you can see the play develop. I like the pass >>> shot >>> goal ones.
Understand too that most of those photos are cropped. I'm not that zoomed in but I choose to crop including the opponent to make our player the main subject.
Alright... back to the thread...
