    The Great, Constantly Changing Picture Gallery

    I'd go with real. If you're shooting through a telephoto it often creates the illusion of compressed space. Combine that with the Flanker being huge and you get something that appears photoshoped.

    2sr2, great shots. Do you, (or anyone else) have any shots of Besenyei's first run yesterday? On his second lap,his wingtip couldn't have been more than two feet off the water during the initial move into the quad. It's my third year in a row at the races and that's the only time I've come...

    There's a beach on the northern end of the sea wall I hit every year. Much lower traffic then the ferry landing. It (the landing) was especially bad last year as someone had a wedding the day of the races. The high tide is around 1100 both days, so you should be able to sneak in and grab a spot...

    The Great Cross-Country Thread: Rules, Regs, Destinations and Sea Stories

    Had a pilot who was transitioning from 15's to the 22 come into my work in December while visiting his family. Apparently he flew into John Wayne in his T-38. Sounds like a combo of the "training" and "hours to burn at year end" situations is the best way to go.

    I second the CBC growler deal. Costa Azul is great, but their salsa is terrible enough that is loses my recommendation. Miguel's would certainly be my choice if it weren't perpetually busy.

    Tea Parties

    The problem with any scaled tax is that there is a point on the margin you benefit from making less. Lets say "the line" is $20,000. Above that, you get a 15% tax rate. What are you going to do when you realize you're going to breach the 20,000 line by a hundred bucks? Thats a $3,000 tax...

    Oh boy, the "Fair Tax" discussion again. I'll steer clear this round, thank you. Question: What exactly constitutes a loophole? If we're going to flat tax everything at 12%, does this apply just to ordinary income? What about capital gains, retirement funds, Social Security Income, etc.? We...

    Who's Federal Budget is right???

    I happen to agree, and I also happen to be a staunch "conservative" economically. BUT Just because you can produce a document with both gross spelling errors and merit doesn't mean you should. Additionally, we aren't discussing a failure to be perfect. These errors are atrocious. Not spell...

    Yes. I have a little trouble taking someone seriously when they show a gross lack of attention to their spelling. They aren't updating their myspace status, the Republicans are supposedly offering a real alternative to the budget proposed by the President. This is the cover letter to their...

    Well then, the law is crazy! This is true, granted. But the case was built at least partially upon the testimony of that scumbag. If I recall, the prosecution told the jury he wasn't a smuggler. The government knew that was a lie. If we're going to speak of higher standards what about the...
