I had a Canon EOS both a 35mm and a digital, the actual reason I went with the Canon, was because of the quality and feel the old 35mm gave me. I actually gave the 35mm to someone on this board. For regular everyday I can throw it in the back of my truck camera, I use a Kodak Z710. It's cheap,durable, and takes good shots and can be replaced without me having to spend an arm and a leg. I have a good camera bag which cushions it and protects it, but I kill my regular everyday use cameras and I am not going to kill a good one. I'd rather kill a camera that costs me under 200 bucks as opposed to a more expensive one, but that's just me. And the Kodak actually takes some pretty good everyday shots at 7.1MP. Personally if you ask me, unless you are doing big blowups of shots, anything over 6 mp is overkill anyways, but like I said, that's just my opinion.

Isn't that little car a when I grow up I want to be a big car-car? I can actually see the thing speeding and taking a turn and flipping like something from the old benny hill show.

I think the only people who know what happened are the people who were involved. We all know that if a detailed accident investigation is done, which I am sure will be, the investigating officer will talk to those involved and get their versions, then coupled with the phsyical evidence gathered for his conclusion as to cause, fault, etc. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is just that an opinion. People don't like people Monday morning quarterbacking their calls, so why should it be different here. I'm not sayiing don't give your opinions but don't state them as if they were fact either. I'd be interested in what the police investigation concludes.

Thanks Pete

I know it was awhile ago but I thought Hudson Valley Ambulance was CMTI? Did they sell the license before they went out of business?

Not perfect shots but a couple nice rigs. The ladder was an 85 footer which I couln't get a whole shot due to being crowded. There's a rescue, couple little golf carts, and the airport crash truck, while plain was in decent shape. took alot of non fire related stuff too if anyones interested Joe

This may make you think about a change of careers.... When you have an 'I Hate My Job day' [Even if you're retired, you sometimes have those days] Try this out: On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement: 'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized. ' Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &Johnson.' HAVE A Great Day!!!

and here i was thinking that the check was good and almost ready to give the guys shipper the money as requested - yeah-sure-right. on those they should do a sting and instead of arresting the guy, lay a good beat down on him. Because if he's taking cash he's involved. Find the big fish and lay the smack on him too. Sorry Guys, with all these BS scams going on I guess my BS meter is on overload again-lol. 3 of us will be in Queens today-let's see if anything happens. Think we're going to 302 at least thats what my buddy chuck said. Waiting for the wife to hand me my A** today cuz I kept David from school

RIP Chris Blackwell and Yamel Marino and All who gave their all and the ultimate sacrifice that day - We Will Never Forget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3loXqbgXYaA

last couple of weeks or so my soon to be ex and I (we actually still talk suprisingly. but thats another story) are going thru stuff in the attic to get her things. Both of my boys (one's 19 the other is 14) are helping us go thru everything. Anyways we come across a big box of records and 45's (frampton, eagles, bunch of other stuff the youngsters here wouldn't know) anyways both the kids eyes get big and simultaniously they say - WOW!!! LOOK AT THE BIG CD'S. Then we told them what they were and showed them a record player and I'm not even gonna go where they did. I am so glad that years ago I gave my father in law my old 4 channel crystal controlled scanner as they never would have started to understand that. I know there are some old timers here. Anyone remember the old Bearcat 4 channel xtal scanner that went in an 8 track player in the car? Damned I am a dinosaur.

wow congrats.

New Haven PD up here just got like 20 new cruisers, LED light package and quite a bit of other toys, all CV's, bout a week or so after they hit the road dispatch put out an all call to all officers with the new cars to pull the power plug on the "silver box" right rear of trunk. Not sure what that was all about, but makes me wonder if they knew of an issue like this one.

it's up i just got it and so did this girl i know

Thanks bdfdjc - it's been awhile since 02 as a matter of fact. And come on Weasel, didn't you know in addition to being professionals at their jobs, DOC medical staff is exremely well trained and can handle almost any emergency-LOL!!!!. Really, I've actually been in some places where they actually did a pretty good job, some places don't. Kinda like some of the ECF's, not bad, clean, Then you have the hell holes you wouldn't want to see a pet rat at. Joe

When I was posted with Metro/Trans at WMC we did runs from the county jail which the only issue was getting in and out of the facility and that wasn't all that bad. When I was with WEMS we did Bedford Correctional and I forgot the name of the one accross the street. Had to wait for the chase van and for them to check out the rig to make sure we had no extra riders but it wasn't all that bad. Thing that worried me more with Bedford was being warned to watch out for an inmates nails because they were filed like weapons. Funny call at Bedford was the maternity all sprawled out on the cement floor ready to give birth with all the guards around her and no blankets or anything on the floor. I'm like hello can we at least get a few blankets if she decides she has to pop here. The Feds were a bit different although similiar. As I did a run ad the womens place in Danbury awhile back and that was a trip. Female Latin King/Queen head. van in front van in back co in the rig. Both vans had 9mm's. CO told us that there was extra security at the hospital and when we got there - oh yes there were. Guys with guns everywhere. one thing I noticed is the federal guys all wear bullet proof vests and at the hospital the prisoner always has at least two officers at all times. They may take off the belly chains but the inmate is cuffed to the bed and the lag chains never come off. Guard told me that the usual is one guard in the rig and one in the van. at the hospital one guard has the weapon and one holds the cuff keys, guess thats in case the inmate somehow overpowers one of them. He told me that the reason for all the security on this trip was in place was her gang status and her status with the gang. That most trips were alot less active and more like our state/county runs. I'm hoping someone from Ossining is online and can share an interesting story I heard while working there. We got a call for Sing Sing and getting in and out was different to say the least. They went over every square inch of the van both going in and coming out. One of my partners told me about a code they had at the prison that was pretty funny. Inmate in arrest, they chained him up, going out wanted the inmate to identify himself, name and number, then when they got to Phelps, they wouldn't remove the chains and let the ER staff do their job. I'm sure there was more to this I'm forgetting , but fact of the matter was the guy was in arrest - hello dead, doubt he'd be able to tell you his name, etc and doubt he'd be able to run. I know he passed at the hospital. I wonder do they bring the guy down to the morgue or do they call the m.e. to come get them or what. and does the CO stay there until the body goes wherever? Also remember going to the St. Agnes prison ward awhile back. That was different. When I worked Hartford area up here in CT they had a ward at UCONN but that was mostly a locked door and then a gate. Yours later when I went to UCONN for a follow up liver biopsy had to go to the same florr and was like oh no wrong place. Then realized the hallway to the right was where I had to go-lol. St Agnes was a whole different setup. Wonder where the inmates went when St Agnes closed.
