Happy Birthday, Leenie!!!

 

Hi!

The front of our townhouse; 2011.

Thanks so much everyone!!

Wow! Thanks so much everyone - I'm sorry I didn't see this until now - everything is so crazy in my life, my main focus has been my son, and my job (with my online time spent mainly on Facebook on the A4CWSN Page working on trying to get Educational Apps for my son's iPad).

 

I can't believe it's been 7 years since I stumbled on TRF in it's beginning stages, through a google search looking for bootlegs from the R30 tour! I've met some truly wonderful people here and made some lifetime friends ♥♥

keep in mind that if you get a guitar with an accessible truss rod, the action can be adjusted. There are quite a few good, inexpensive acoustic guitars out there. You can get an Epiphone (Gibson is the parent company) acoustic through Musicians Friend (Guitar Center) for around $90. Always go to the shop and try out a few. You'll know it when you play it if it's the right one for you. I recommend getting a slightly higher gauge set of strings, like 10's (they have a little more give to them), to take it easy on your hand as you're learning chords. Always check the action, like Ancient Ways said, make sure you have no fret buzzing. A lower action will help you out as well as you're learning chords.

Videos from last nights show at The Tavern in Framingham. This is my brother, Gary's, Rush Tribute Band: Distant Early Warning. Have to start off by saying that I am incredibly proud of my brother. They did phenomenally last night!!

 

FYI: These are Facebook links, so you may have to Like the page to view them. I'll keep adding links as I get them uploaded. There are 11 total videos.

Those are fantastic, LM! I really love that waterfall pic - I tried to get that look to the water when I took the ones in Oregon but it's harder than I thought! This is the best I could do: What's the secret?

Once, just once, Stephen got away from me at a bookstore, and the minute or so it took to find him felt like an eternity, with all kinds of horrible scenarios going through my mind - he can hear, but he can't speak functionally. Anyone could've grabbed him and walked out, and he would've never made a sound.   My heart breaks for this family. This is so tragic...I worry every day of something like this happening Just a follow-up...not a good ending.   http://www.torontosun.com/2011/05/10/body-...nd-on-riverbank   Sad...

So so so happy that everything went well & that you're recovering so quickly Danny!!!!!

For any MK fans...the new game, which is just titled Mortal Kombat, hit's XBox 360 and Playstation 3 on April 19th, 2011! Also - this will, without a DOUBT, be the MOST BRUTAL MK game in the series' history. The game will be a re-telling of the event's of Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3...with a "twist". And Fatalities are BACK, and more gory than ever. In other words - this isn't Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe - which I will admit was fun (and different) - but it just was not the good 'ol Mortal Kombat we have all grew to love. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fylR5tWTL._AA300_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jreL-vmqL._AA300_.jpg Here's some video's from the game I found on Youtube. WARNING : These clips contain blood, gore, violence, and epicness FATALITIES Scorpion's Fatality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4b5Lji_-IM Mileena's Fatality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCXX9QrO-gw&feature=related Johnny Cage's Fatality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSGmSzuYBgM...detailpage#t=4s Sub-Zero's Fatality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A_96lYZgJ0&feature=related Kung Lao's Fatality (from interview w/ Ed Boon; MK co-creator) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz_vrbUCCvg&feature=related Cyrax's Fatality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVh1PTWOEUs ----------------------------------------------------- Here's a new feature in this MK installment...

Scorpion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZkKKulM2iI&feature=related Sub-Zero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOoCJMV_JbQ&feature=related ---------------------------------------------------- And here's the latest trailer for the game... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Ph1s98pDM There will be a total on 26 selectable players - each with at LEAST 2 Fatalities, and 2 other unknown Finishing Moves. CANNOT WAIT!!

lots of love & luck to you today Danny!!!!

Papa Gino's YUM!

I love this show, I have a series recording set up. My only gripe is that, while he gives great tips on getting "the shot", he doesn't give any specifications/settings for it. You know, shutter speed, aperture, etc. I would love to know his settings so that I can play around with my own photography more
