Hahahahaha!
Funny comparison! I've had to walk the streets of New York City on business a few times and it's hard to say which city is safer!
By the way, that webpage also has fireworks sounds in case your speakers were off!
Well right now all of us up here in Arizona wish we were anywhere but here... it was 117 degrees farenheight today, and it's still 104 or so at the moment now after sunset at 8:36PM Arizona time....

...but then I do get to ride my mortorcycle all winter here, so I guess I shouldn't complain!

Then again, you have all the best beaches down there too! Oh well...

I would love to go Paragliding, or bungee jumping or parachuting. The closest of which I have been on is This (http://www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk/rides/vertigo.asp), a 140ft 3 man swing lol. |

Yes, Happy Independence Day everyone.
As for myself, I'll probably just chill. We moved to Virginia Beach VA 3 months ago and we're starting to get settled. Rough move! The beach is nice though, especially Sandbridge since there are no hotels and far fewer tourists. The interesting thing is I see a free air show almost daily due to the Oceana naval base, where pilots fly day and night.
Please think of the troops abroad and their families on Independence Day as well. They cannot be together as they should.

Ahhh yes...
I went parasailing in Jamaica at least 20 times and loved every minute of it... nothing like it! (...except maybe one other thing...)
http://bestsmileys.com/fun/1.gif
I went snorkling there too alot...
http://bestsmileys.com/water/2.gif
...decided against scubadiving though...

Funny you should say that... a few years ago we actually cooked some eggs on the hood of an old truck here! I'm just hoping my tires don't melt in the driveway now!

See, I couldn't do the bungee thing but I did leap off a 2100m (about 6800 ft) mountain in the austrian alps about 3 years ago in a tandem paraglide. that was probably one of the best experiences in my life...that and flying a microlite...and been hot air ballooning too which is kind of wierd...not at all scary so where's the fun....:D |

He he - liked the message. Nothing so great planned here. the weather has been positively awful...it was torrential rain today.
If the weather holds out I may be going boogie boarding this weekend but I am not sure.....just have to wait and see.
Anyway, have a good one 3d dude... |

Being a lover of what is good, I say , Have a blessed Independence day celebration 4th of July!
Being aware of the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.", I thank my Creator for establishing America AND keeping it no matter what enemies may come against it, foreign or domestic.
I sometimes listen to shows like thepowerhour.com , and to David Barton ( wallbuilders.com)
Have a blessed Independence Day all Americans, and all that love America,
'O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!'
Love, from Leif. |

Happy Independence Day everyone!
3DV Dude, 117 degrees in Arizona? That's why it is so not-hot here in the New Mexico desert -- 99 today. You stole some of our heat! Give it back! I think that it has not topped 100 yet.
Not-hot: a strange concept that I have no word for.
(Really it does get not-hot in the winter. Especially up in the mountains where not-hot, not-hard, not-sharp stuff has been known to fall from the sky.) |

Fantastic image really, thanks!

Hi Finis,
Say, living over there in New Mexico you aught to grab a digital camera and a tripod and make some panoramic photo shoots. Great images to pop into trueSpace7.5x for Vray rendering. New Mexico has some of the most beautiful sky scenes on earth, get good enough at it and you could probably sell them too!:cool:
"Not-hot," I'll remember that one! :D
Welcome aboard!

It frightens me too - I'm not exactly a strong swimmer and the sea near us is the atlantic so it ain't small surf...my wife on the other hand is a very strong swimmer and not at all frightened.....
See attached. This was sunday 1st july. |

WOW!!! That's a great photo too!
If you have a larger version of that pic and wouldn't mind zipping it for upload here, I'd really love to use it for backgrounds and Vray illumination in various altered states... see below for an example...
I was looking at it for quite a while when it suddenly dawned on me just how much the form of the violently splattering water resembled violent volcanic eruptions. Here's what I saw in my minds eye:

Here's the original image at 3456x2304. I took it with a Canon DSLR - nice camera.... zipping it made no difference to the size it's almost 4 mb.
Feel free to use but but wouldn't mind a mention if it's for commercial stuff... |

Cool! Thanks Brotherx!
Of course I'd give you credit for any use of it commercial or otherwise, not that any of my images rise to a true commercial quality level anyway!:o
The graphics work I've done commercially had been far more mundane than artistically creative for the most part... mostly adding some 3D spice to existing pamphlets and brochures, etcetera.
As for this particular image I have no intention of using it commercially although I do like it, what I really want to do with this image is play with variations of it in postwork and then add them to Vray as Global Illumination images rather than as an actual background.
This should be fun to play with in PSP and Vray as a GI image source, and whatever I come up with on that I'll be certain to share with you of course.
Thanks! This will be fun!
