Check back along the thread where we were discussing bears. It's there somewhere.

A search for "jingle bells" might help.

=====

Yep. It finds it.

[Alkarii]

I'm still in the dark.

I ran a search for "jingle bells," which only turned up your post, "bells" and "pepper" didn't yield anything, and searching for "bears" didn't help either.

Why can't people just give an explanation instead of vague non-answers and saying to search for something that only leads to more confusion?

Also, haven't had much sleep, or much to eat. My head hurts, and part of that is due to a mishap earlier today which resulted in a nasty cut which is going to leave a scar and wouldn't stop slowly bleeding for a couple of hours. I'm currently in a sleeping bag in the back seat of the truck, as there really isn't any place to lay down to sleep in the house. My sister-in-law's grandmother was a bit of a pack rat, and one of the cats refuses to use a litter box or go outside.

Plus, I'm watching RWBY. Someone suggested it, and I found it on Netflix, so... Yeah.

You poor, poor soul. I'll keep the brain bleach on standby.

I suppose they're influenced by the presidential primaries. Giving evasive non-answers to direct questions seems to be a requirement for those running for office.

I think this is the reference you want. Peppers, bells, and bears are all in the recipe, in the proper proportions.

Sorry to hear you had a run-in with something blunt or sharp... hope that all is OK.

Sorry. When i searched "jingle bells" to make sure that that should work, this wass the second hit (It was the third now, since you used it in your post and that added it to the top of the list, and it'll be fourth once i post this...).

Anyway, look here.

I see i've been ninja'd.

Basically, being coy because it's a joke and i don't want to just explain it, which, of course, spoils the joke.

I'm a pyro with no deities. Hell sounds like a fun theme park. Plus, according to some people, I've already got a seat reserved for me. Other people say I've done more than enough good to offset the bad.

I also like Bleach.

Well, there's the problem! I was only search THIS thread...

But as for my mishap, it was kind of funny. We were shooting at a target that sat higher than our position by just a couple feet, and the ground kind of sloped downwards a little in front of our position. Because of this, I had to angle it upwards quite a bit, meaning the only part of the rifle actually against my shoulder was the top corner of the stock.

Now, my dad said that you know you're positioned right in regards to the scope when you don't see any black in it (aside from crosshairs).

Right as I started pulling the trigger, the phrase "I have a bad feeling about this" played in my head. The recoil sent the back end of the stock against my shoulder, and at the angle it was at in relation to my shoulder, it was pushed down along the side of my chest.

Good thing I wasn't wearing my glasses...

I remember when i discovered that firing the M-1 carbine from the prone position can be ... interesting ... if you're left handd.

The hot brass it throws up and back, high and to the right, lands smack in the small of your back.

when i was in Jr. high, during the lead-up to the 4th of July, all the neighborhood kids used to get some firecrackers, bottle-rockets and assorted other fireworks and go under a bridge that had a really good echo effect to shoot them off... one time i was bent over picking up something i dropped, and somebody nearby threw a firecracker up high to see what the effect would be on the echo, and he missed his throw... it bounced off the roadway above, then the wall of the embankment, and landed right square on the center of my neck as i was bent over... i wigged out, to say the least, then as i jumped around like a chicken with it's head cut off, the lit firecracker fell down the inside of my shirt straight down my spine, and wedged in my belt... DAMN good thing it turned out to be a dud... after that we were a bit more careful about making sure we were clear before we threw stuff again... but even after that, it still didn't make us actually STOP doing stuff like that as evidenced by the fact we still did bottle-rocket wars from both sides of the banks, because it didn't "click" in our minds that we SHOULD have stopped... oh well, the follies of youth, huh!?

I'm left handed myself, but I have to shoot right handed because my right eye is my dominant eye. I also play my basses and guitar as if I'm right handed, but that's because it puts my left hand on the fret board.

Ho! What sorcery is this???

Juxtaposition of several photos, made using a tripod in order to keep the exact same point of reference? Panorama made from stitched together contiguous photos, wherein she has time to move to the next stage before you snap the photo?

However you did it, it was nicely done.

Or maybe he's actually got evidence that someone, somewhere, is trying to raise a clone army to take over the world, but wishes to reduce the negative karma by having his young army-to-be live as normally as possible!

Three-frame-per-second mode on the camera, feed them into Microsoft Digital Image Composite Editor... Presto.

Actually, i made two composites, both using half the shots - one using the even frames, one using the odd ones, and then splicing the left half of one to the right half of the other, in order to get a good selection of images of Maggie.

DICE automatically aligns and composites sets of photos taken from the same point, so long as they overlap some.

Here's a classic "unintended consequences" panorama someone made - apparently he shot a video pan of his living room, then ran it through DICE or something similar.

Didn't notice he wasn't alone until he saw the result, i guess:

As a demo, i just shot a bunch of images and then DICEd them.

Note that the images are different rotations, and i think i zoomed in and out some, too:

...and here's the result:

I have used Microsoft ICE in the past. It does its job very well. One of the rare MS products I don't mind using...
