  • funny, a flickr copycat.
  • Lots of flickr downloading tools. might come in handy. I'm centralizing all my albums from across the Mac, Windows, external drives, Picasa, old flickr accounts. and I've got thousands of pics now in my main flickr account.
  • Good video. Burn-out, complacency, falling back and then rising back to the cutting edge are things most experienced traders or pros in any field go through.
  • Nor is the phenomenon of "Muslim rage" directed against America alone. In Spain, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France and Germany—countries with widely varying foreign policies toward, and colonial histories in, the Muslim world—terrorist plots, terrorist attacks, spectacular murders, and mass rioting have made vivid the gulf that separates embittered and often radicalized Muslim minorities from the societies around them. Even in tiny, inoffensive Belgium, whose government was among the most vocal in opposing the war in Iraq and has bent over backward to respect the sensitivities of the Muslim community, the entire Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek, according to the Flemish newspaper Het Volk, has been turned into a "breeding ground for thousands of jihad candidates."

  • "However with Iranian help Hizbollah is now fully re-armed and it is likely that Georgia will rebuild its stock of armaments rapidly, probably buying Soviet-era equipment from Ukraine." An interesting turn of events in world politics, the return of the cold war in the Middle East, in the buffer countries between Russia and Europe and maybe eventually in Asia? Multi-party cold war instead of dual-party with a potential for alliances with devastating results. USA - Russia - Iran - China(?)

    While America has provided training for Georgian troops it is unlikely it will take the political risk of infuriating the Russians by selling sophisticated arms to its neighbours.

  • "It was very aggressive and trying to go for me when I was putting it in the box. It was really jumping around and trying to attack me." Watch out when buying your bananas.

    What do you use it for?

    Btw, after you mentioned you liked Lightroom I went back to try it again and now it’s my main workflow and albums organizing tool :-) Thanks..

    Eyal… I archive all my photos in flickr then archive the originals on an external hard drive. So, when I need to download a bunch of photos from flickr, instead of doing it one at a time I can download all I want quickly with downloadr.

    Glad you tried Lightroom again… it really is a great tool for photogs.

    Ah ok, I use the Fireuploader extension in a similar way. Supports a bunch of sites like flickr, youtube, facebook, picasa, smugmug etc.
