FISHING: Los Banos / Santa Cruz Area / Municipal Wharf & Seacliff Wharf

all right! gone fishing two sundays in a row with relatives. haven't been fishing in a LONG time, i think the last time i went was near Los Banos, CA reservoir about 2005.

i picked up two rods at local WalMart. 1 Ugly Stik and Shakespeare Alpha Reel. the other rod was a Shakespeare Tiger Spinning Combo, both rods are great!

on to the fishing! well i was just excited to go fishing, but yes we did catch something just nothing edible Cry. yea everything was too small like shiners, baby crabs, anchovies, small surfperch, and the annoying bullheads! at seacliff i probably caught 12 bullheads, yuck!

we're gonna try again near the end of the month. we had tried at the very end of the piers for fishing. after a little of research i found that most of the fish were around mid-pier or just past the breakers, can't wait!

GAMING: Juiced up and ready to go??

OH NO THEY DIDN'T! as a casual browser or 'googler', i came upon some
interesting news via MaximumPC.com which peaked my interest. they had
an article about professional gaming and the subject of players doping.
pfft, tssk, hahaha! dang, some people just take things too seriously!.
professional gaming is exactly what it says,
-p-r-o-f-e-s-s-i-o-n-a-l--g-a-m-i-n-g-. to me it's a recreational
activity spiced up with gambling. it's not a sport. sheesh, you just
sit there and use your hand to press buttons and move a plastic mouse
around. it's like sitting with someone to play battleship and say "hey,
i'll bet you 200 bucks i win." is that a sport?



yes, the
winnings are greater than $200. some winnings going over half a
million, but to have people tested or banned for taking stimulus drugs
while playing is just absurd. whoever spoke up about it was just
someone who got beaten on some game and was pissed off because the
person who beat him smoked one too many joints. can't he just maybe
umm, practice, practice, and try a little harder next time? he was
sober and clear headed. maybe he just SUCKED!



read the artical here! yes, you can tell me what you think.


Canon 50D...want it!

 


just released onto Canon's website is the Canon EOS 50D! i was very
interested in photography, i love taking pictures and have only been
using point n shoot cameras. i know a few people who were or are still
in the photography field/hobby. before this news came out i was looking
at the 40D but with the upgrades in features and specs, i've finally
made my choice! now i just can't wait for the introduction for the
packages for this.



CANON EOS 50D - esrp = $1399 body only

SPECS



New 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with improved noise reduction, wide
range ISO 100-3200 (H1: 6400, H2: 12800), 14-bit conversion for smooth
color tones and gradations.



Next generation DIGIC 4 Image
Processor for faster processing, 6.3 fps up to 90 JPEGS using UDMA CF
cards; 60 consecutive JPEGS or 16 RAW using standard CF cards.



3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots/VGA) with multiple coatings for improved viewing and smudge-resistant protection.



Enhanced Live View shooting includes Face Detection Live mode.



9 cross-type high-precision sensors for accurate target subject
acquisition and diagonal center cross-type AF point with f/2.8 and
faster lenses.



New Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction setting to automatically even the brightness across the image.



Updated EOS Integrated Cleaning System with a fluorine coating for better resistance to dust.



Creative Auto goes a step beyond full auto with on screen setting display.



HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output for displaying full high-resolution images on a High Definition TV.



Compatible with over 60 Canon EF/EF-S lenses and most EOS System accessories.



Exceptional Quality Images.

New
15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with improved noise reduction, wide range
ISO 100-3200 (H1: 6400, H2: 12800), 14-bit conversion for smooth color
tones and gradations.



The EOS 50D features a newly-designed
15.1-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor which is capable of recording up
to 4752 x 3168 pixels with full 14-bit A/D conversion for extremely
fine tonal gradation. Ready to capture images in an instant, the sensor
is designed to work with Canon's EF and EF-S lenses with a conversion
factor of 1.6x. It's capable of recording at sensitivities previously
too noisy for shooting in low light or subjects in motion. With a
maximum ISO rating of 12800 combined with a 4-level High ISO speed
noise reduction function, images that would have been impossible
without the use of a strobe or flash become simple to record.
