Wow SWEET, THANKS! It has been beyond my best efforts to get it HQ, that would be excellent, Parvati.

Thanks Lullaby, but I was looking for the source so I can see about scanning them.

he said "out of this world", going into Space?

2 Reasons, for both the U.S. and Canada = Two Oldest teams in the Olympics and European Refs = lots of penalties.

Sha! Where are those pictures from? Which Cat? or is it from the website? <_<

I still think the US had a better team. We were just so undisciplined down the stretch, just when it looked like we had a good offensive shift going, we'd take a penality. It really screwed us up. I am really, really upset at some of the penalty's called in the third against Finland, especially that 4 minute major. It was so clearly a follow through, neither of the NHL refs called it, but the Slovak ref did, its a shit shame he couldn't be overridden. Anyone notice in all the games that everytime somebody falls to the ground crying, the European refs made calls? Not just the US game, but all of them. I think that cost Canada the game against the Swiss, personally.

Can't say 100%, but I believe so. :x

ouch . . . I have a 3 n 1 from HP too, but its a nice one. It's just a little on the old side. I cant do really good HQ scans without them turning grainy, which is my problem <_<.

That sounds like Resolution, you should lower your resolution. My scanner has a default resolution of 200, which makes my scans come out to like 2000 x 2000, way too big. Lower it to 75 and its a managable 750 - 1000 pixels either. I think the problem with my scanner is that its just old and dirty, I wish I could figure out how to get underneath the scan bed and clean the bottom of it, its got fingerprints and water streaks all over it.

Really!? What kind of settings? Not the place to hold such a conversation, but I posted an example in my thread, can you take a look and see what I should do, I would love to contribute more often, and I supposedly have a good scanner, but I just can't get the darn thing to put out decent lookin pics. Any advice would be much appreciated.

What makes pictures so grainy like that when you scan them? Bad scanning or bad scanner?

Its the prelims people, and that post made both of you look like an ass after today. JR isn't on the team cause he opted out, btw. Thats what I've been told. Otherwise, for sure. and Chelios is an iconic leader of the US Olympic team, Laviolette would have gotten far more backlash for NOT putting him on this team. and Ryan Miller the best American Goalkeeper? not . . . Laviolette put together a strong team, and the only reason they struggled the first game was because they only got a half day of practice in before hand because of travel delays. Now that they have crushed a defensive oriented team in Kaz., today will be the real test. Personally, I think the US is a better team than Canada. As for Canada Marty Gerber laid down the law, representin the Canes. GO CANES!

It's a shame she doesn't do SI, she seems perfect for it. People complain about Adriana or Alessandra not in it, but I can understand them, but Raica should really do it. Also, one of these days they should recognize how Brazilian models have transformed the industry and do an all brazilian issue with all Brazil locales. The of the hotties and the scenery they could do with that.

oh, I thought she said ava, I hope it didn't get edited to make me look stupid <_<

I like how he just automatically believed that, how gullabe

Great Pics! We SERIOUSLY need these in HQ . . . which catalouge are they from? This is going to become one of my favorite pics of Ale if we can get it HQ:

ehem, if I am correct . . . that is not Adriana, unless Alessandra has adopted a new middle name recently.

mines a subscriber issue, so I can't find a price anywhere. <_<

I just finished reading HBP for the third time this weekend.

mmm, thanks Neo, must . . . have . . . HQ!

Smart Ass <_< didn't get mine until today. . .

It's in the SI General Discussion thread, in G.Babe Talk. Theres lots of models on the cover, like 6 or 7. They all naked, thats all I care.

eh? for the good, or the bad?

Gladiator, that reminds me! I gotta take it back.
