9 Moose-on-Roof PHOTOS from Anchorage Daily News
A moose calf took a stroll up a large pile of snow and found itself on top of a garage roof in Anchorage, Alaska. After browsing on high branches and causing stress to its mother and the neighbors, it came off and was reunited with its mother.
I’ve been humming this song lately. I decided to find out why.
“There’s an ordinary world, somehow, I have yet to find”:
And i don’t cry for yesterday
There’s an ordinary world
Somehow i have to find
And as i try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

‘ONE’ can happen!
Jesus’ John-17 heart-cry!
May we be ‘ONE’ in Christ!
Then the world will know —
FREEeeeeeeeeee———–DOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for so many post today, everyone.
Ron Paul just visited Alaska yesterday, and for those who don’t know, I’ve been following him for many years. I have almost 800 Ron Paul posts on my ToBeFree blog. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
And tomorrow is a big day for those of us who will be voting. I do believe the chances of Ron winning the nomination are very small. But I also believe strongly in doing the right thing — to never ever again vote for evil — so our consciences will be clean, not having supported what some of these other candidates will surely do.
It’s better not to vote at all than to vote for someone will keep the international bankster system going, which is destroying our economy, along with these reverse-Christian wars. The US military is knocking off one by one the countries who would oppose the one-world government and the international banking system.
And all three of these other candidates will keep the police state accelerating, continuing all kinds of unconstitutional measures that is part of the globalist agenda. Only Ron Paul would obey the Constitution, which is the rule of law. These other guys are rogues. They’ll put their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution and then do the opposite, over and over.
Who would Jesus vote for? Warmongers? Police state implementers? International bankster facilitators?
Or someone who would stand up to this corrupt system even if it costs him his life?
His name is Ron Paul — the only man of integrity running — which is why he just got an endorsement from Joe Miller (via his wife) — who knows America is standing on her last leg, and these other three will just continue the collapse, big spending it into the ground.
Power to the peaceful.
Grace to the humble!
The main thing is to never vote for evil again — or we’re partly responsible for what they will do.
Remarkable demonstration of DISCIPLINE that ENDS WITH A HUG:
First, the mother glares angrily at her son as he stands a few feet away looking guilty and sheepish.
Within seconds he is backed into a corner with a terrified expression as she roars her disapproval.
Shortly afterwards he finds himself airborne after she seizes him by the scruff of the neck and propels him from side to side. [appropriate for a bear but not a child, obviously – editor]
However, the fierce encounter at Simferopol Zoo in the Ukraine comes to a peaceful conclusion when Mummy, who weighs the best part of 550lb, gently hugs him to her chest to reassure him that all is forgiven.

Alanis Morissette – This Grudge (2003)
Uploaded by letterman203 on Dec 26, 2007
From open TV concert in the US – Soundstage Concert Series (2003)
——————————–
Fourteen years
Thirty minutes
Fifteen seconds I’ve
Held this grudge
Eleven songs
Four full journals
Thoughts of punishment
I’ve expended
Not in contact
Not a letter
Such communication
Telepathic
You’ve been vilified
Used as fodder
You deserve a piece
Of every record
But who’s it hurting now?
Who’s the one that’s stuck?
Who’s it torturing now
With an antique knot in her stomach?
I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that’s grown old
All this time I’ve not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us
Like an abandoned house
Dusty covered
Furniture
Still intact
If I visit it now
Will I simply re-live it
Somehow gratuitous
But who’s still aching now?
Who’s tired of her own voice?
Who is it weighing down
With no gift from time of said healing
I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that’s grown old
All this time I’ve not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us
Maybe as I cut the cord
Veils will lift from my eyes
Maybe as I lay this to rest
Dead weight off my shoulders will rise
Here I sit
Much determined
Ever ill-equipped
To draw this curtain
How this has entertained
Validated
And has served me well
Ever the victim
But who’s done whining now?
Who’s ready to put down
This load I’ve carried longer than I had cared to remember
I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that’s grown old
For the life of me I’ve not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us.

PetaPixel has published an excellent response from a photographer to a Seattle-area bride criticizing the pricing of wedding photographers. In a remarkably calm response, Nikki Wagner details the expenses connected to her wedding photography business, dismissing the idea that wedding photographers set their prices high simply because they can. After reading Wagner’s response it’s understandable why the bride is having so much trouble finding an ‘exceptional, amazingly talented, fun photographer’ that she also deems ‘decently priced.’ The post also acts as a reminder that there can be good reasons why there’s a gap between what a product or service costs and how much you think it should be priced.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,300 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
It looks like the wider zoom range of its tiny lens still has serious sharpness problems. This is disappointing, and may be a result of Canon trying to design the impossible.

Just Posted: Our review of the Canon PowerShot S100. The S100 is the latest in Canon’s range of pocketable photographer’s compacts, building on the success of the popular S90 and S95. This most recent model offers a more ambitious 24-120mm equivalent, f2.0-5.9 zoom in front of a Canon-made 12MP 1/1.7″ type CMOS sensor, marking a much bigger advance than in the last update. Is it another step towards the perfect pocket shooter or has the camera giant over-reached itself? Find out in our review.
[…]
Overall Image Quality/Specifics
Canon’s new purpose-built CMOS sensor in the S100 is capable of capturing images that are detailed, nicely saturated and very clean, especially at the lower end of the camera’s ISO scale. The new CMOS sensor gives slightly better image quality than the previous-generation 10MP CCD – an improvement that is subtle but noticeable, especially at higher ISO settings. While the 2MP increase in sensor resolution over the S95 is modest in terms of the additional detail that the camera can capture, the 20% increase in total pixel count does help to offset the effect of noise at a given display size/magnification.
Although the S100 has a broader (24mm – 120mm) zoom range than its predecessor the S95, we’ve found that the new lens is not as uniformly sharp across the frame. We’ve tried no fewer than five sample cameras for our studio testing, and in the worst cases significant decentering of the lens causes one side of the frame to be noticeably out of focus in our studio scene (shot at a subject distance of approximately 1 meter). In all cases, moderate to strong softening occurs at the edges of the frame. This is very apparent in our studio comparison tool, where it is easy to spot any visual discrepancies at a pixel level. However, this does not tell the whole story, in our real-world sample shots decentering has been much less of an issue and most of our shots are not overtly blurred by the lens (take a look at the ‘lens’ page of this review for more detail).
Teresa, Harry’s wife, gave me this photo of him and Kelly at the memorial get-together at his favorite hang-out, the Brown Bear Saloon on Turnagain Arm (5/21/11).
She shocked at least the bartender when she told us Harry got to know Jesus before he died — which made me deeply cry. Harry and I had many interesting times together.
I miss him — and hope to see him again!

For the purposes of this roundup, I’m restricting my coverage to those compact cameras which offer full manual control over exposure, are capable of shooting raw files, and have flash/accessory hotshoes. There are six cameras on the market which meet these criteria, and all six are covered, but the fullest treatment is reserved for those cameras which offer optical viewfinders (and arguably the ultimate in enthusiast-friendly ergonomics) in addition to their rear LCD screens:
