Frozen Butterbeers all around

1 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
6 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.

I've been to every Bike Week since I was 2 or 3 (Dad used to race).  I've seen lots of nekkid, but usually not GOOD nekkid.

Yeah that caused quite a stir when it first came out a couple of years ago
They keep getting it yanked for copyright violations

I've seen that clip used for a bunch of different things
But the Mayhem one is the best I think

BTW, I'm not a gatekeeper any more just as an FYI

That's just annoying
Sorry that happened to you

Yeah, I am thinking of tagging her port with a "thanks for the NO SHOW,  she would just erase it I guess, but maybe someone will see it before she does.  Can I get brigged for that or what.

Let it go.  I understand why you're frustrated, but trying to strike back is never helpful and it doesn't make you look good.

You would probably be better off putting a blurb on your own port

I do not suggest working with model xxxxx
Feel free to PM me with any questions as to why not

Something like that

Less likely to get you in trouble

Send me a PM with who it is btw

It happens, George; Move on  - there's more fish in the sea!  She knows who she is and what that makes her!

This is why I demand what I demand!

Yeah, I guess you guy's are right, it's just that I have always been one to be where I said I would, when I said I would, and it just gripes my ass that someone can just be so irresponsible.

HELP!!!!  I just bought a D3100, and took some test pic's.  Good thing that model flaked today.   I uploaded to computer.  Camera is set to image quality  RAW  worked well on D60  Now ViewNx opens them just fine.  but Adobe Photoshop says they are a document, and wont open them?  WTF?????  ViewNX says they are an NEF file just like other one's.

Oh, and I have a shoot in the morning.

Hey George, I'd really suggest getting Lightroom to convert your RAW's. I doubt that Adobe is going to NOT allow updates of new cameras to not work with older versions of Lightroom.

first important question is what version of Photoshop are you using... Photoshop supports RAW format in the latest versions... for older versions there is a patch that can be applicable

I am still using my CS3 Master collection.  I do not have LIghtroom.  I guess I am going to have to upgrade and look into lightroom.  My CS3 would let me open the raw files from my D60 make adjustments to the image, and save it as a PSD. 

It's always something huh

On behalf of the models, I apologize for your experience. I used to keep tabs on the good, bad and the ugly on both sides of the lenses, but I've been less active lately.
Best thing to do, get the word out privately, without personal badmouthing. Just lay out the facts. Let others draw their own conclusions. Posting visible negative comments usually just comes back to bite you in the rear.

Sounds yummy ! 

Question - Can you stick with just Straight Rum and Sugar ?  Is that a good variation on this ?

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your response, but I looked at this earlier, and tried to download and install.  Apparantly  it only works if you have CS4 or CS5.  I guess they don't update CS3 anymore.  Looks like time to upgrade, whether I want to or not.

Anyone know of a good area - outdoors - around UCF to shoot..

Open field, water etc..

When last i was on Campus ; there was a great reflecting pool right behind the Administration Building .

I will say that it has been a while since I was on campus though .

As far as " Woods " ; or Fields around , or near the campus ... as far as I know most of that area is pretty built up now ... with apartments for the Students , and fast food places etc ....

I used to live on Lake Mira , which was just off of ,,, ummm ... I think it is Alfaya Trail ; which is the Road that goes out to UCF ..... but I do believe that the last time I checked , there was a new housing development that had been built on the Lake ....

besides that , the Lake is just a couple of miles past Hwy 15a ( Goldenrod Blvd ) - - - if you are familiar with that area .... but there may still be some pretty spots around it , because it was very rural at one time .

There is another option.  You could get the DNG converter from Adobe for free.  CS3 will recognize DNG files.  It's an extra step, but it saves you from paying to upgrade now if it's not financially convenient.
