Recently upgraded to iOS7 on my iPhone, and was really disappointed at all the changes. First thing I noticed was the low contrast and very thin fonts on everything. I went to settings and turned on a setting for larger fonts, but it only affected a few apps -- and the Apple ones (mail, calendar, etc.) all retained the little, skinny font. iTunes was changed and I had to fumble around to figure out how to get a song to play, then it kept repeating. Calendar doesn't have my preferred "list" view -- it now has a horrible white background with tiny, skinny red fonts. But the weird thing was I kept feeling kinda 'car sick' after using it. I searched around the web for ideas on what to do and I guess this is a very common set of complaints. Especially the sickness part. I've always felt the thing was a little less intuitive than most Apple products, but I accepted that because it's also doing so much more. But, dang. It's really not usable for me like this. Anybody else getting this?

Tons of energy for 15 to 20 minutes, then she drops dead. She's getting bolder around our older dog, who really doesn't want anything to do with her yet. She'll square off with him, start barking, then take off before anything happens. She's keeping us laughing.

Never been a fan of canned meat. For me, some good jerky is hard to beat.

No need to Google: 3 pounds banana peppers 2-1/2 cups cider vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 cups water 1 tablespoon Kosher salt 6 cloves garlic 1 quart sauerkraut Dash red pepper flakes Drain sauerkraut in a colander. Remove tops, core and seeds from peppers. Place in ice water bath for 10 minutes. Carefully stuff each pepper with as much kraut as it will hold and pack into jars. Add the garlic cloves. Bring water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper flakes to a boil. Pour into the jars with garlic. Seal and refrigerate for at least two weeks. Makes roughly 6 pints. That's the brine recipe I use, but I don't weigh the peppers and I doubt it's as much as three pounds. Adjust the volume of brine as needed. Gotta keep these refrigerated.

Looking good, BH. The speckled (stippled?) one looks like an heirloom I grow called Forellenschluss. That's one of my faves. Takes heat and cold well. The name is supposed to be Austrian for 'speckled trout', which just makes it all that much better. I've got bush beans, snap peas, lettuce, radishes, beets and collards in the ground. My mater's are still spitting out one or two a week. The cherry tomatoes are still going crazy -- I brought in ~7 pounds week before last and made some salsa with them. Tastes good, but they're orange and the salsa isn't very appetizing looking. Brought in a bunch of banana peppers and a few poblanos and Anaheims this weekend. I'll dry the poblanos and roast the Anaheims and freeze them. I've got a recipe for sauerkraut-stuffed pickled banana peppers that I like a lot. Sounds weird, but it's got a nice sweet/sour/spicy thing going on that's pretty good.

Man, you need to put a coaster and place mat down on that beauty

One click too many on that last picture -- back 'er off a little.

Thanks guys. Bfshn, I think she just froze midstep and didn't know what to do next . 7weeks old and hasn't been out in the 'wild' until today. Good going Gavin! I love those shepherds -- keep it occupied!

We had to put our older Brittany down back in May. We've been waiting on a litter from the breeder we got our younger one from. Went over and picked her up today. Please allow me to introduce Ruby: Fun times ahead!

Maybe you guys should try a bigger font?

Nothing at the moment. I night some balsa crank bodies, hooks, wire, rings, etc. couldn't find one vendor that had it all

I'm liking those, mic. But, I've got to resist the temptation to start something new right now. Too many irons in the fire Where are you buying your stuff? I ordered some from Lure Parts Online.com and Barlow's. Neither one had everything I needed. Also checked Jann's.

Those are good looking fish!

That's really cool, David. And like Justin said -- catching one on the NFOW is an accomplishment. You gotta tell US if you're hooked on it...

I'm liking the photography too, Ronnie. The black backgrounds are very cool.

I dunno. This thread seems to be drifting into dangerous territory. Just get the Copic, mic.

..and here's a video about it

Same as it ever was.

Poppers, cranks, decoys, fingernails, t-shirts, tats. It's a real multi-tasker, BH. BTW -- it seems on my regulator it's lefty/tighty righty/loosey. I never even noticed the arrows on the knob. All is well.

I'll have to look more closely at what I'm doing with the regulator. I wasn't too worried because I'd read 30 was the number. I'm really green at this and don't know what I don't know.

Nice fish. Oh, and I finally cracked the mystery to your name

I was recently in the market for an airbrush setup, but I didn't seriously consider the Copic system. I didn't really want to get into a 'system' and be constrained by their paint selection, air cans, parts, adapters, whatever. I went with a Badger 150 and a Master Airbrush compressor. The set I bought came with fine, medium, large tips/needles. I've only used medium so far so I can't offer much else. About the only ongoing costs will be for paints, and I can run about anything through it if it's thinned properly. I've only done water-based paint so far and plan to stay with that for now. Cleaning only takes a minute or two when I change colors. I picked them both up on Amazon (and a brush/compressor adapter) -- free shipping and no tax shipped to MO -- for about $150. I'm liking it so far. Compressor is very quiet and comes with a built-in regulator and water trap. Regulator doesn't seem to regulate -- it's always pushing about 30 psi no matter what, which is ok for what I'm doing. The water trap catches water, but I'm still getting some in the hose at times. Ronnie had some suggestions for me for a cure to that issue.

Quality stuff right there, Ronnie.

I wonder if there was any lobbying going on from the auto unions? Naw, that's just silly -- the Wall Street guys probably wouldn't let them in.
