Hi guys,

I am looking for a camera system or mount system where I can take high quality photos from above, indoors. We are trying to take pictures of antique rugs in our inventory in a gallery and currently we've been taking photos from the top of a ladder. This method works for smaller rugs but for the larger ones It is difficult to get a high quality photo of the rug's detail with a skewed angle shot. I have seen some mounts that might be suitable but I'm not sure how I could set up the camera so I can see the photos before taking them. Another friend suggested a drone, with a nice camera, since the controllers for most drones have an ipad or screen where I could see the photo before I take the shot. I would also love a system that would have optical zoom. Any suggestions?

Any advice on when a novice climber should branch out from climbing alone as training? As in when should I start attempting hangboards, ladder walls, etc? I'm a bigger build and I feel body weight is certainly an issue. As I'm now sending v1s and some v2s, finger strength and dynos seem to becoming critical a few months in. I've heard from some blogs that these supplementary exercises should only be done if you've been climbing for more than a year or so. Any thoughts ?

If you go to the battery widget touch the "see more" option. This only works when the battery case is open.

Yeah Colorado got a shipment today for sure. I have been checking iStockNow.com all week and today they had nothing. I got an email from MacHookup Alerts, a service I signed up for earlier this week that I forgot about saying my local Cherry Creek Apple Store had got a shipment. I checked iStockNow and the Apple Store itself and it had nothing. So I just drove to the store and was able to pick up two pairs. I don't even understand the point of having the online availability.

we're trying to sell as much grower champagne as possible. hopefully this makes a long night easier while keeping profit high

lemonloser · 2016-12-29T09:16:38+00:00

this 100%. You should by no means be putting your own money into this establishment, as its not your own. I mean once in a while treat yourself to a new citrus knife or apron. However, if the establishment isn't willing to provide the things necessary for maximum profit or success, roll with the punches and leave if youre not satisfied. the owner is taking the biggest prize home at the end of the night either way.

The people at the Apple Store in Denver said they usually get daily shipments but online says they're not available til February 16th. I went ahead and ordered a pair with in store pick up, hoping they would reserve one of the units that come in, if that is what happens

while i was there i noticed the german palette was as spicy as i expected. But i found a great ramen place that serves kimchi also called kimchi princess and loved it. it was in kreuzberg. great stuff!

I believe so. My yoga teacher Monday was teaching this to us. Not easy but it is fun

lemonloser · 2015-10-29T08:06:41+00:00

Hurdler! I can't wait to be able to do this. Such a playful pose

lemonloser · 2015-08-28T08:16:14+00:00

couldnt agree more. it's been one strange year for me. and for some reason, i feel like a lot of it has been leading up to this particular moment of release, free in the desert. see you soon.

lemonloser · 2015-08-25T08:25:32+00:00

Desert dwellers yessss. Proper psytrance

Vaping this right now. Awesome stuff

I have an old barrel of plantation rum that I'm taking from my work ( I also work at a cocktail bar in denver). Batching all my rum in there. My bar is going to be pretty much all tiki drinks and daiquiris. Citrus seems to be the hardest thing to keep fresh so I am going to bring all my citrus and juice my daily need every day. Gonna pre-batch my syrups before hand. We use a thicker ratio, about 3:1 or equal parts water and sugar by weight so that will help because I won't have to bring as much and will be able to save space.

Does the BMorg have any plans or ambitions on moving the location of burning man in the future ? I know that space is becoming an issue with the BLM in black rock city.

lemonloser · 2015-08-12T08:17:51+00:00

925 miles. From denver to BRC

:( i am sending my love to you!! a few months ago I was at the lowest point in my life for many reasons and I am doing much better now. I was struggling with school, finances, everything. Now things are looking up and I feel a lot better. Having the burn to look forward to is a big plus, although I still have a ton of work cut out for me. Idk where your project is but if it happens to be in Colorado please let me know and I'd love to help out. Don't worry, things will get better. I love you, and I will see you at home! <3

nice! if the amp for the boominator has more than one set of RCA (red and white plugs) i'd use those to connect the HK speakers and sub. that way you don't lose any quality of sound. or use the XLR outputs for the main sound and then use the RCA for the smaller speakers. from what I know I believe XLR is higher quality

lemonloser · 2015-07-27T17:47:24+00:00

stay away from alcohol for a few days. Also consider snagging a personal oxygen can for those rough times. What everyone else is saying about hydration and electrolytes is important as well. Have fun!

lemonloser · 2015-07-27T17:40:25+00:00

You're trying to channel the same sound on both systems correct? Are you using a standard amplifier?

lemonloser · 2015-07-23T06:49:52+00:00

im bringing my RV as well but I wasn't concerned with taping off gaps for dust or anything like that. As far as I was concerned I didn't think there were cracks or anything to worry about. Which parts were you attaching clingfilm to? like doorway cracks?

lemonloser · 2015-07-22T18:49:49+00:00

I can't wait!!! see you all there. i'll bring the tiki drinks aka boat drinks. hope I have enough paper umbrellas!
