With Pentax's 40mm pancake prime, the problem goes away; the built-in lens hood means you're really not going to smudge the lens unless you're really unlucky (or have a grabby toddler), so stick the awkward little screw-in cap in your pocket and just forget about it.

Re: PESO: Snowy Egret
Nice pics, Bob. I don't think the green cast is a problem. It looks like a reflection of the foliage, and with the foliage present in the pic, it looks natural. Maybe just a slight reduction in green saturation will remove it if you don't like it? I like the second pic best. Great documentation of the display and how it use the tail feathers. Even though both birds look away from the camera, there's more feeling of contact with the bird in the second than in the first.

The underside of the bird is reflecting the green of the foliage. That's natural. And to me, it looks natural. However, it can easily be pulled down in PS: curves and saturation/hue.

From: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=1017full=1 Although consumption of alcohol fell at the beginning of Prohibition, it subsequently increased. Alcohol became more dangerous to consume; crime increased and became organized; the court and prison systems were stretched to the breaking point; and corruption of public officials was rampant. No measurable gains were made in productivity or reduced absenteeism. Prohibition removed a significant source of tax revenue and greatly increased government spending. It led many drinkers to switch to opium, marijuana, patent medicines, cocaine, and other dangerous substances that they would have been unlikely to encounter in the absence of Prohibition. The entire article is an interesting read, and has tons of citations and references if you care to follow the conclusions back.

Finally, attach the photo. If you can, try to keep the file size under 256k. Don’t worry about dimensions. Those will be adjusted later. JPEG photos are preferred. Thanks a bunch for your patience.

Re: Faces of meth images
Bill, My father was born in 1920 and had no memories of prohibition. If that's what your asking me to compare to, you're gonna have to find something more current. My only drug experience comes thru my brother the attorney. He is taking public defender cases on cocaine arrests of gangbangers. How much of that do they have in Regina? These young men do not have much life expectancy. I can't say much more as I don't have the first hand experience. I will say it is a sad thing... Regards, Bob S.

You should have the freedom here to reach out all the way to the tip of your neighbor's nose, but not to hit it. Laws are passed to control the unwashed masses. In the case of drug laws, it has been an unmitigated disaster. Your country experimented with drug laws in the 1920s (colloquially known as prohibition). From: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=1017full=1 Although consumption of alcohol fell at the beginning of Prohibition, it subsequently increased. Alcohol became more dangerous to consume; crime increased and became organized; the court and prison systems were stretched to the breaking point; and corruption of public officials was rampant. No measurable gains were made in productivity or reduced absenteeism. Prohibition removed a significant source of tax revenue and greatly increased government spending. It led many drinkers to switch to opium, marijuana, patent medicines, cocaine, and other dangerous substances that they would have been unlikely to encounter in the absence of Prohibition. The entire article is an interesting read, and has tons of citations and references if you care to follow the conclusions back. History is repeating itself, but now the big bad wolf carries a syringe rather than a bottle.

Being a native westerner from the heart of Reform country in southern-central BC, the West has many of the same political issues with the Federal Government as Quebec (But with a different set of Cultural issues). Moving towards a federal government that's weaker on domestic issues benefits both the West and Quebec, and reduces the stress level within Confederation. Of course, I've long been of the opinion that the Western Provinces (or more accurately, BC and Alberta) are more likely to separate than Quebec. There's a lot less economic and cultural ties between them and Central and Eastern Canada than there is between Quebec and the surrounding provinces. -- M.
