  1. Does anyone remember the name of the photographer on this site who took some rather provocative nudes, one of which included an enormous studio stand camera? I think he may have used that camera for some of his shots?
  2. The official statistics are to be found here.
  3. You have made a statement. The burden of proof is yours.
  4. Any facts to go with that, other than "you can keep your doctor" which was bull.
  5. "A 1997 federal consent decree that requires the government to release all children apprehended crossing the border. The “Flores” consent decree began as a class-action lawsuit. The Justice Department negotiated a settlement during President Bill Clinton’s administration. According to a 2016 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the Flores settlement requires the federal government to release rather than detain all undocumented immigrant children, whether they crossed with parents or alone. The agreement doesn’t cover any parents who might be accompanying those minors, but it doesn’t mandate that parents be prosecuted or that families be separated. Moreover, Congress could pass a law that overrides the terms of the Flores settlement. Waldman said the Flores settlement requires the government to keep immigrant families together for only 20 days, but no part of the consent decree requires that families be separated after 20 days. Courts have ruled that children must be released from detention facilities within 20 days under the Flores consent decree, but none of these legal developments prevents the government from releasing parents along with children."
  6. That's bull. Even Ted f-ing Cruz says so. Great site you reference there, with the videos of Jesus and all. Try this real, not liberal newspaper from Texas.
  7. THERE IS NO LAW. Please cite the relevant statute, if I am wrong.
  8. Crime in Germany is at the lowest level in 28 years. FACT.
  9. ALL Democrats are in favor of a new law to protect these children. DT said he wouldn't sign it.
  10. I swore twenty years ago that I would not get political on this site. Asking for legal asylum is not a crime. In the worst case, crossing the border is a misdemeanor (unless repeated subsequent to deportation) This is not an excuse to break up families. There is no "Democrat Law" requiring this. I'm done. This is AMERICA, not North Korea (although the latter is ruled by an honorable guy). We don't do this. DONE
  11. Just make sure you have the latest firmware (I think there was an update for the 8000). ICE + Kodachrome is, IIRC a software function.
  12. I believe the hardware is identical in the 8000/9000 scanners. I'm running a Polaroid SprintScan 120 under Firewire 1394 on Windows 10. Took about ten minutes to get it working, fine since then. The Nikon should be fine.
  13. Problem may have corrected itself after my third or fourth sign-in.
  14. Have not changed anything. I appear to be correctly logged in when I try to post.
  15. Why, after nineteen years of using this site, do I have to sign out and back in to post new threads or reply to existing ones?
  16. Are we referring to the slideshow at the above link that zips by too fast to evaluate? Also, I am tired of having to sign out and back in to post on this site.
  17. The New York Times has an excellent obituary for one of the true greats.
