interesting thread, filled with Islamaphobic content

I'd like to draw attention to this thread

I find it amazing to read some of the ignorant biased comments here. It actually is very disturbing.

You know,

you would be amazed at how identifiable people are even when wearing a burqa. When wearing one of these garments other aspects are seen. One sees posture, mode of movement. Put three people in the same burqa and you will see three distinct different personalities, personalities you did, would not have seen otherwise.

new/old camera question

My camera has just about totaly expired. The one I got from eBay has problems, that showed up too late to be returned...But...my nephew i giving me his camera. It's more than he wants or needs.

It's a Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd . Anyone have any suggetions, tips or whatever on this?

Here is a review of it:

My previous beloved camera was a Casio 10 megapixels XLM EX S10. I loved the simplicity of that camera, and it took really nice photos too.

This one will take some learning.

Hear about the "Exploding rhubarb chutney" ?

"A jar of exploding rhubarb chutney lifted the ceiling off of a retirement flat, causing a scene of destruction and shaking awake a 66-year-old pensioner.

The homemade preserve blew up in the fridge, ripping the door off of its hinges and rocking Margaret Goodwin’s flat as she lay asleep at 7am in the morning.

When she went to see what the "bomb" was she found that her family photographs has been smashed by the fridge door as it was flung across the kitchen, knocking a chunk from the wall.
The explosion had also temporarily lifted the ceiling, leaving cracks in the top of the wall, living room and porch, and blew the casing off an extractor fan.
