@Chris:

Used it last night, so if it happened, it's been in the last 10 hours or so.

Nope - been at least a week… I mentioned it in one of my sales threads (as I couldn't close it)...

I'm an amateur (idiot) at taking pictures.  Which is why I bought a canon T2i. My question is, is it the macro lens that enables some of u to take such amazing close ups?  Or is it my inability to work it correctly why I can't get a good shot?

[Giles]

If you do not have a Macro, that would certainly help.  I'd pop into a local dealer with your camera body and ask to try a few macro lenses out…

[Dirty Denim]

Ok that's what I was hoping for.

@Morose_Penguin:

Why have the Aero/IH collabs disappeared from the site??

@Giles:

Wil@Aero has left Aero.  The new management see no value in an association with Iron Heart.  I am trying to sort stuff out…..

thast sad but ma jacket will be more valuable in the future

i think IH must be made their own leather jackets
IH is a Motorcycle brand….with Will in the Team they have THE MAN...he knows the busisness and have the connetctions to horwenn in chicago.
to found a crew in japan they be able to made this jackets are nit the problem too;-)
the thing is in my opinion they must be use the horween horsehide!
i saw FH leather jackets @ DC4 ....they cost 2000€ but they dont comparable to AERO leather jacket!!!

Even if the whole team learned perfect English, or had a very knowledgeable translator, they wouldn't be able to understand Will…

I have a perverse need to buy this thing:

But I have problems finding someone that ships to Europe. Any of you lovely yanks want to proxy it for me? I can pay in beer, leather goods or good old fashioned american dollars.

I need a little coaching on bar etiquette from our American friends. The only places I have really been hardcore drinking in the U.S are once in the Greenwich/ SoHo area of NY when I was too drunk to really know what was happening, and likewise on Sunset Strip in L.A.

In England the process of buying alcohol in a bar is ridiculously simple, you pay the bar tender for the alcohol you have ordered….and that's it. I seem to recall uncomfortable moments for me in the US, where I have ordered booze and have not been too sure whether to tip for each drink, or even pay drink by drink or pay all together at the end, or some other variation.

In short, when I want a beer in a bar in NYC, what is the process?

[DougNg]

If you're walking up to the bar and then walking away to get to your friends, I usually tip heavy for the first one (100% of the cost of the drink), and then leave a buck or two for every subsequent drink. This guarantees that the bartender will be attentive to you for the rest of your stay

If I'm sitting at the bar and I know that I'm going to be there for awhile, I'll leave a massive initial tip and then not tip for the next couple
