Jon,

that was the same issue I was seeing last week. I reported it to them, and eventually they had to recreate my account. They said to try clearing out all your cookies etc. ( note, do not eat them as that could add to your waist line

).

It's all rather strange i have no problems entering the site at any moment screen shot from a couple of minutes ago

Steady - I know what you mean about the film. We wanted to see it but it only played during the daytime and was only at the theater for about a week. I'll be buying a copy now that you said it was good.

In grade school in Kansas, Amelia's life was told over and over again - partially since she was from Kansas and also to subtly promote that little aviation industry on the edge of town.

About Amelia (the movie) again:

This movie is really about one person's obsession with flying.

I think that will fit with anyone here who loves aviation/flying/planes. As Amelia is quoted many times in the film when asked WHY she flew: "I fly for the fun of it."

It is also about a person who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible.

The thread in the plot of the film is that Amelia would do ANYTHING to fly and always pushed herself to fly higher and further.

I think just about anyone could find it inspirational.

If you have younger children (preteens or teens) then I think this film would be especially inspiring. If you have a young daughter, I think it would be VERY inspiring, especially if you have shown her how much YOU love flying and planes.

They even show another female character/pilot who at 16 years old became famous for flying under the four East River bridges in New York.

When I saw Hilary Swank (as Amelia) I think she did an outstanding job of portraying the spirit of the real Amelia. The several "newsreels" that are part of the DVD (extra features) show how the real Amelia was and spoke. She had charisma and a charming innocence in her manner and speech. Not only by her accomplishments but also by her personality did she win the hearts of the world.

Just remember, if you rent or buy this film/DVD, make SURE you watch the extra features on the DVD.

An UWA lens with 4-stop inage stabilisation... If that turns out to be valid/accurate (claims for other Nikkor VR lenses seem to be valid too) that means you end up in 1-second exposure country, hand-held! Now that sounds interesting

My own experiences are that I can get at least 3 stops under the 1/FL guide with the VR1 in my old 70-200 and in the 200-400. Don't have enough experience with the 70-200 VR2 to be sure yet, but it's definitely better. However, it's harder to handhold steadily when the viewfinder is blacked out, so I'd expect no better than 1/4 to 1/2 second at 16mm. Still very interesting, but I'd guess that a full second is going to be more a matter of luck and other stabilization like a wall or such than actual VR.

Dear Rodolfo,

I can get you a D3X today. We're checking in to the 16-35, but guessing there won't be any available by ISAP. There will probably be one at ISAP to try out. Also working on a contact for your other questions.

Usually folks turn up on Wednesday and gather in the nearest bar

Thursday and Saturday are all-day in the conference room with seminars etc, usually starts quite early with breakfast.
Friday will be all-day field trip, starts very early!
Saturday night is the banquet and folks drift off Sunday morning.

Thursday and Friday nights are usually do-as-you-will, so our dinner on Thursday and whatever you fancy on Friday.

Bill - Saturday is a full day and shouldn't be missed if possible and its capped off by the banquet.
I'm not sure where we'll all meet up on Wednesday - looks like everyone will string in from around noon to around 7 or so. Midday sun probably isn't the best light - but I'm sure we can find something to shoot - even if its just hanging out at the airport and shooting take offs and landings.

Is anyone compiling a contact list?

I'll have my cell with me at all times and I can get email, text or phone calls so my contact info is:

We make landfall at 1:45... or should I say 13:45?

While I know Joni Mitchell isn't exactly singing about Amelia the way the movie tells the story - she has a video with a lot of clips of Amelia in it and the music isn't bad either. Its one of my favorite JM songs. Plus its got Pat Metheny backing up the lead parts. Can't be all bad!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6d2RG2Rl64

"The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets through to you"

At about 25 seconds into the video - you get a great shot of one amazing diastema!

Oh, and regarding ear plugs:

Top left: Alpine Musicsafe, silicone rubber re-usable one-fits-all ear plugs with replaceable filters. The yellow (inserted) filters do -18.8 to 27.7 dB, depending on frequency.
Top right: Exinore ER25, custom made silicone rubber ear plugs with -22.6 to 27.5 dB linear'ish filters. (Courtesy of a former employer)
Bottom: generic foam plugs, do roughly -30 dB, if inserted properly!

And my current protection of choice, courtesy of my current employer:

Tympro hard acrylic custom made ear plugs with adjustable dampening, set to maximum. Which is about -35 dB. This comes in handy when you occasionally have to stand near an electric arc furnace dumping 15 MWatt of electricity into scrap metal, raising the sound pressure towards 108-110 dB.

I don't know about cost elsewhere, but made-to-fit earplugs will cost about €160 including sales taxes here in the Netherlands. Are they worth it? Oh yes! The comfort is miles beyond the generic yellow disposable foam plugs. The generic reusables sit in between, both in price (around €20 to €30) and in comfort.
