John, do you have any recommendations on other systems like this? I really do love the layout, but completely understand about the prices. I thought of only using pass for display only, that amount for prints is silly. Thank you!

Wow, this is very cool software! I don't learn very well via a book or someone trying to explain it, I learn visually. I also don't currently have a studio space, and this software would be amazing to have and play with and learn by doing! I love it! I bought a little iphone app software similar to this, but it's just so hard on a small phone. Great job Elixxier! I would love to purchase this someday!

This is a great review. I have a pair of regular merrel barefoot, but i absolutely hate that, i can't even walk in grass, and me feet are wet!!! I have found it sooo hard to find a waterproof barefoot shoe. Are you aware of any others? I think this will have to be the shoe i get. Thanks!

We just had a 3.9 just west of Stuart Island.. right where there is a beachball.. the larger beachball up there.. any thoughts on that? I don't really understand everything about plate/fault movement, but trying to learn! Thanks!

Shane,
This is downright bone-chiling frightening that you say the whales are not in decline.
The Southern Resident Killer Whale population is an Endangered Species by definition means "An animal or plant species in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
Last year we lost 7 individuals!!!
Quote from NOAA "Additionally, the small population size of this killer
whale DPS makes it potentially vulnerable to Allee effects (e.g.,
inbreeding depression) that could cause a further decline. The small
number of breeding males, as well as possible reduced fecundity and
subadult survivorship in the L-pod, may limit the population's
potential for rapid growth in the near future. Although the Southern
Resident DPS has demonstrated the ability to recover from lower levels
in the past and has shown an increasing trend over the last several
years, the factors responsible for the decline are unclear (NMFS, 2002;
NMFS, 2004). These factors may still exist and may continue to persist,
which could potentially preclude a substantial population increase."

Wow.. I really think they should start being able to spell check these comments...I'm not sure what "Tharpy" and "speach" is... that a cartoon or something?? Therapy and speech is what I think you meant.. and "thank" should be "think"???

Shelly May and Stupified.. thank you for your posts! I agree... reluctantreader.. what are you thinking? the kid MURDERED someone with his vehicle... if you are so forgiving about this matter... would you be willing to had this kid keys to a car again and go for a walk down the road with him nearby.. my guess it you wouldn't ,... and neither would anyone else.. this kid is dangerous... so are his parents...

This is one reason why I won't have children.. and I agree totally... these kids responsible need to be punished.. especially if the "haha I'm still alive" comment was on facebook... that's utterly ridiculous... i dont even think that kid is worth keeping in this society.

Bill,
I respectfully disagree and here is why.
Evidence has been collected... there are all sorts of people taping, photographing, reporting... only recently have the authorities acted and It's not stopping the madness on the water. When all else fails.. you have to do something... if you really care about this planet and all the living creatures on it, humans included. The death of whales on this planet means the death for everything on the planet, including you.

This is a great article outlining the need for more "direct action" movements.
Anyone who doesn't think everything on Earth is in danger... you aren't paying attention.
