    While it is true that we sometimes receive thanks, the vast majority of people saved do not even know that they have been saved form major problems, by unknown but caring people who give of their own time freely to aid others.
    I received an email from an online advertising site today, telling me they had taken down the four fake $1,400.00 parrot listings that had been placed on their site. I wonder if they really knew they might have saved a lot of people a lot of grief when they did that. Probably not, and the victims that won't be, will never know either.

    It's odd that I was having similar thoughts today. I was wondering who was out there looking after me in a similar way and began to think, I will never know, none of us ever know who saved us from what.

    I wonder if some police man stopped and arrested a drunk driver minutes before he might have smashed into my son's car and tore our lives apart. I wonder if I hadn't taken up this hobby, would I have become a victim of some fraud myself. I wonder how many viral websites were killed before the little old lady next door got online looking for arthritis medications and I think, lots of them. I think about how many people are as you say spared the grief by the work of folks here and at TSB and it also makes me proud to be associated with all of them.

    Christmas is gone and waiting for our new year celebration.

    We have a small but tight group of friends who traditionally gather to celebrate this with good food and the highlight
    of massive fireworks show. This one is from 2008-2009 but sadly we lost our main video camera. It was very cold
    night about -25C and battery got frozen. Only my cellphone in my pocket a Nokia N93 was able to film that - sorry.
    As fireworks sold to public are little tubes in a stick professionals use launch tubes firmly in ground. They just launch
    the active part in sky leaving no waste cardboard to fall they and are so much accurate and precise to work with.

    In here (its hard to see I know) we use 38kg of gunpowder in couple minutes. Phone just cant catch all that glory
    without wide object and the colours are wasted. Had to pan all over to get the action and that causes to lose the
    effect. Sure hope that 2011-2012 we have the proper equipment to record the whole glory of this display.
    We have one Canon VC, Sony VC and my Nikon SLR with 18mm lens to capture full HD 1920x1080 video.


    Anyway have a happy new year!

    Thanks you De Master Yoda, always you are a gentleman! Happy Valentine's day to you too, and A.F.I. members.

    Valentine's day!! day of friendship and celebrate love....and as Marguerite De Valois says:

    "Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy."

    Love is something wonderful!!!

    HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

    HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!TO THE WONDERFUL MEN

    Happy Father's Day to those who love
    As amply as the angels love the light,
    Pleased to be for us the scourge of night
    Pacifying rage we know not of.
    Yours the passions in the pit that prove

    Fierce enough to fend off nameless blight,
    And yours alone the rectitude to right
    The jigsaws jumbled when the monsters move.
    How came you to such competence and valor
    Even as we wait to take your places,
    Rife with fear, uncertain of our courage,
    ' Twixt the world and chaos bent on pain?
    Since we first knew, we knew no hint of failure,

    Desperate as we were for your good graces,
    As you must sometimes look back at your knowledge,
    Yearning to be innocent again.

    Happy Easter to all members and guests on AFI who celebrate Easter. Spend some nice time with your families. (This year is best hidden white eggs, because they are not found in the snow so fast!)
