I wish the U.S. would pass a law like this.

The US does have a law like this and has had it and it is called the...

Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996

More on the above...

Mainly used against Southeast Asian migrants also....Wiki link...

^^^ JD....ya can't say that anymore! First time I've even seen a pic of one....

Never mind the qualiy...the pic works IMO.

What a lovely read Laisze! Please ensure you & the pooch do not become statistics OK.

She's precious.

^^^ Nice action sequence Jack!

^^^ CB....It's also nice you took his offer...beautiful orchid pix. The top one is amazing.

OP.....Try what poster taiwangirl suggests. Leave the battery out for a day...it won't hurt.

If there's no joy doing that then it's off to your friendly camera shop for repair if possible

or replacement. Since it is a discontinued model replacement with a newer model may

be the only option. Good luck.

Reminds me of the Wolf spider Shaggy.....not 100% sure tho....

Shaggy...a good 50mm equivalent lens on an APS-C sensor camera is a 35mm.

Many to chose from....have a look.

Not only is the grammar of the post terrible..."Falling" Phuket lamp post"...

but the fine is stupidly cheap. A friend lost control of his 4x4 due to a front

diff failure on a highway in the US and killed a light pole...cost him nearly

2000 USD to replace it....or rather his insurance paid...whatever.

Actualy the lamp post doesn't really look felled...just slightly wounded.

Bye-Bye You. Enjoy some hospitality courtesy of the Japanese prison system.

^^^ I just ran outta likes stix....so here's this instead...

Nice Monitor shot Pekka!

I really like the"money" shots. There's a tale in there...many tales actually...

^^^ What a beauty.

Her name was/is Halima...a Malay girl of 20 years young who worked in a Penang

flower shop off Penang Road in Georgetown. Simply put...a stunner. And as you

mentioned....What a beauty...

I wonder what she looks like now?

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives lost & Mc Cormick gets 10 years in the can.

That's justice?

It's not justice but he only stood trial for fraud as that was the best way to get some sort of conviction. If they had tried him on manslaughter, he may have walked.

How well I understand...still 10 years seems a light sentence for what the detectors didn't do. However...better 10 for fraud than walking

on manslaughter. Hope all his "assetts" have been called in.

^^^ Nice colours Ron!
