July 3rd, 2009 » Things not to do

After 26 years of reffing, I found one more thing not to do this past weekend! During a U14G game that was going smoothly. A small dog on a leash starts barking just off the touch line on the spectator side - near play. I decide this is a potential problem. The ball is about 25 yards downfield from me. I point to the dog and sternly ask that he be moved away from the touch line. In the second I look towards the sideline and the dog, I got nailed in the outstretched hand by the ball. Why did I need to point? Any other interesting tips?...... - 2009-07-03

» I'm on the hunt for a good camera! Easy Best Answer if you already own one?

I would like it to be at least 10 Megapixels and have 5X zoom. I don't really know the difference between optical and digital zoom, so somebody's going to have to explain that to me. Also, I'm on a budget of like, 180$, but I can go as high as 200. Although, my mom is like, "Oh, 180? That's so expensive! I've seen cheaper!" Apparently she's seen these oh-so-cheap and great cameras on the shopping network, but then it gets too late and we miss our chance. Always. Anyway, does anybody have any recommendations?You definitely want optical zoom. Avoid digital zoom. Optical zoom essentially does what binoculars or a telescope do. They show the image larger and more detailed. Digital zoom is basically the same...... - 2009-07-03

» Can illinois auxiliary police officers make arrest 24/7, and can they carry there firearm 24/7 ?

Yes they are full fledged police, just not paid and in reserve. They cannot take the place of a police officer, I.E. a municipality cannot use an aux police officer to replace a paid officer. Since the late 90's they had to have full police training, absolute minimum in Illinois is 400 hrs of approved classes at an approved academy. Right before I retired the law made it even harder to be a aux police with a lot more firearm qualification then they had before. Aux police in Illinois are "conservators of the peace" the official definition of a police officer, therefore they can make an arrest and carry 24/7 and must take police action in an emergency, just like a paid working cop....... - 2009-07-03

since then i have purchased a $250 ipod nano and the money is still not depleted!! should i continue to use this? im not trying to do anything illegal!!!!!!! HELP!!Well, the Visa Gift card should automatically decline the purchase of a $250 transaction if it only allows $50 but if it didn't, You will still have to pay it whatever the seller didn't recieve. But maybe you have a gift card more than $250? You should not continue to use it. Must be stuck on "full". If the gift card was given to you then maybe it was $500 not $50. The other possibility is that maybe it is not a gift card.

» any other factor contribute to noisy picture beside high ISO?

I was wondering because sometimes I notice there is slight different in the amount of noise given the same ISO.There's an almost infinite number of variables such as your specific subject, what light levels you're actually shooting at, the background, if there's shadowy areas or not, etc. I have ISO1600 shots of off of my D80 that look perfectly clean, and then some iso400 ones that actually look pretty gritty, all depending on what I happen to be shooting and how I'm shooting. "Generally" if the light level is reasonable and you're just trying to maintain a faster shutter speed, high ISO will tend to look a bit cleaner. If you're down in the gutter with no light and a longer shutter speed, high ISO will "tend to" look worse here. That ...... - 2009-07-03

» 大きい and 大きな

Hi, All Japanese learning books claim that in Japanese there are two types of adjectives: i-adjectives and na-adjectives (e.g. 高い and 静かな). But recently I paid attention that some adjectives have both forms. For example: 大きい and 大きな, 小さい and 小さな. Are there many such adjectives with both forms? Is it a separate category of adjectives? Thanks, YevgenyTo my knowledge, there are very few adjectives with both い and な forms. Just think of them as more or less exceptions to the rules.Although you might think Ookii is a na adjective, it is not. Ookii is a -ku adjective.大きな is a na-adjective, 大きい is an i-adjective. There is no such thing as a "ku adjective."大きい・...... - 2009-07-03

I have a Compaq Presario 1200 (12XL410) laptop that has a questionable battery. It seems to work.

Here's the weird thing. The battery still reports 0% through the lights on the battery itself, but as soon as you plug it in for about five minutes, it will report 100% again.

» Is GSM SIM card copy legal ?

Is it legal to copy a GSM SIM card. There are products that allow you to copy multiple SIM Cards to a single SIM card which means one handset--many linesI am certain that the expectation is that there is a ?one-SIM, one-phone" rule in effect; thus, if you copy the contents of several SIM's onto one card, isn't that giving you access to those other person's phones? The only legitimate use I could see for this is if one person had several different phones (and thus several different SIM's) and wanted to have one SIM that he could interchange between phones. But that seems like an odd fact pattern to me. Seems more likely that one would perhaps want to be able to clone a SIM and then make calls using the other person's...... - 2009-07-03

» Survey? Does it bug you to be pan handled by some Dressed as good or better than you?

BC has help wanted signs all over I am 69 and can get workyes it does some people I have met do it just to have something to do and I think that is just sad I love the girls with the signs that say they're 6 months pregnant, even though they're flat as a board. Some of the homeless people are legit, which is sad, but most beggars just have nothing better to do and want to try to see how gullible people are.yeah i wont give money to a homeless person but, if they ask for food i will give them food. i agree totally there are people that stand with signs on our main corner asking for money. if they took all that time and effort holding a sign in the freezing cold they could use the same effort and get a good job. sometimes they are ...... - 2009-07-03

» First Question

I posted my intro in the Welcome section (go say Hi to me!! :P ) and I'm gonna jump right in with a question. I recently got a Fuji Finepix S7000, and am VERY new to aperature and shutter speed. I've done most of my shooting on Auto mode. I know WHAT they are, but I'm still working on figuring out how to adjust them and pick the right combo for shots. My problem is that even when I use the Auto mode, I usually end up lightening/brightening the photos in Photoshop. Its frustrating becuase I don't feel like i'm really taking good pictures, it seems like cheating to me. :lol: Is this normal that you have to "tweak" your photos, or do I just need to get better at lighting and I'll be able to not have to do that?

(she had a queen before). she told her that her old bed has to stay so they can turn her old room into a guest room. It is very clear that she doesn't want us sleeping together, which is dumb if you ask me, because we will be LIVING together. Does she actually think that were gonna sleep in our own rooms?

What research is available to support whether students testing in a large arena style room or a smaller classroom type setup perform better on tests?As a college student, I feel reasonably equipped to answer this question. Quite frankly, you should not be surprised to find that it depends on the student. To a small few, it truly won't make a difference. To most, it is a matter of preference. My roommate is intimidated by a small classroom, as he prefers annonymity. I, on the other hand, like the idea of receiving more individualized attention if I have a question. To my knowledge, there are no conclusive studies on this subject. Results tend to vary....... - 2009-07-03

Bush should resign now. Then Dick Cheney becomes President (that would really TICK OFF the libs)!!! Then Cheney appoints Condoleezza Rice as VP.

USDA Backs Production of Rice With Human Genes By Rick Weiss Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, March 2, 2007; A02 The Agriculture Department has given a preliminary green light for the first commercial production of a food crop engineered to contain human genes, reigniting fears that biomedically potent substances in high-tech plants could escape and turn up in other foods. The plan, confirmed yesterday by the California biotechnology company leading the effort, calls for large-scale cultivation in Kansas of rice that produces human immune system proteins in its seeds.
