How weird that the link doesn't work. I tried it before posting and it worked. I went back to the Beeb's site and found it again :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8487031.stm same URL.

Anyway to find it without the URL go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ , click on Science and environment, and then on the lower right - most popular stories - Saturday - Beautiful birds.

It really is worth the effort.

The first of those also features on the BBC website, which has some great bird photos - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8487031.stm.
Interesting though to see what happened next

I'm not sure you can use printer profiles with Elements. Certainly with E6 you can't.
You may have a clash between Elements and the printer though - each trying to manage the printing. Set Elements up to allow the printer to manage the printing if you haven't already.

I just saw this and my immediate thought was he must be ill. Now I realise you are just sick. Sick that your laptop went bang. I do hope you can recover the data from it.
It's not only special needs children who do things like that either Mike - my eldest son managed to tip coffee over his laptop last week, and he is certainly old enough and normal enough to know better!
His laptop was full of his accounts for his business so it was potentially very painful, but luckily for him his sensible wife had made a back up after working on them all day!

Glad you have managed to sell the lens so quickly.

It does look magnificent I agree, and I am tempted. But it could have been so much more.

Your secret is safe with us

Ok I'll admit it. I like it too.

I don't watch films normally. I just don't enjoy them.

But when my sons were younger they hired both Terminator 2 and all 4 Dirty Harry movies. They particularly wanted to watch the Dead pool but decided to see all of them.
I being a good mother had to monitor this violence fest. And I am ashamed to say I enjoyed it all. Not only that but I have watched them all since
I haven't seen terminator or Terminator 3 though.



Why Terminator and the Dead Pool? Guns N' Roses. That's why.

Pentax cameras bought abroad have a 1 year standard Pentax guarantee on them. You do have to make sure you get an international guarantee with it though or you will get one for the country from which you purchased it - which may not be honoured by Pentax UK.
If you are buying the camera in the EU you should get the full 2 year guarantee provided it is a Pentax recognised dealer, not somewhere like Pixmania which deals in grey imports.
Lenses come with an international guarantee as standard.

The problem for me with the Black Rapid is that I have my Arca Siwss QR plate permanently on the camera so I couldn't attach the strap too. I would have to spend time taking the strap off and putting the plate on which would quickly prove to be a PIA.

I'll stick with my two very comfortable OpTech straps.

Least used that I wouldn't get rid of - the Bigma and my poor old broken Ds.

Least used I might get rid of - the Sigma 24-70 2.8 EX and the Pentax 50-135*.

Least used that I would get definitely rid of (if I could be bothered to advertise it) - the Sigma 10-20.

Most used which I am tempted to get rid of - K20D
