Sennheiser and Koss make some nice, reasonably priced headphones. I personally own the Sennheiser PX-100. They fold up to where I can store them in the same small bag I keep my iPod. The price for these is between $40 - $50 at Amazon.

Lots of good advice. I will just emphasize two points, and make another.
Compuwar talked about power settings, and mentioned that lights can be too powerful for a space. He's totally right. Figure out where you are going to shooting (in big open spaces vs a small studio. More powerful lights are more appropriate for the big spaces, but can be real handicap in a small space. Also, if you doing small object photography (i.e. jewellery, etc) you may find less powerful lights work better. I started out in big space, and now that I'm in a smaller space I sometimes have to put a ND filter on the more powerful lights (I forget the technical name, but a ND piece of plastic made for the movie industry). I have two models of lights (Photogenics), one being less powerful than the other - which allows some flexibility.
All other things being equal, check around your community. Is there another shooter? Can you see yourself helping each other out on occasion? For instance, you are each shooting in an entirely different field. It may pay to get the same brand of lights as they have. This way you two can borrow lights - and more importantly, light modifiers - back and forth.
One thing that may not be obvious is that while lights can be mixed and matched (especially monoblocs) modifiers can not be (generally). Each brand of light generally has a proprietary mounting system, and the modifiers are matched for that mounting system. You can get different mounting plates, but it's pain. So stick with a one mounting system if you can (though as has been mentioned you can mix mounting systems for some lights if they don't need to be used in different ways.
If you do start borrowing lights with another shooter, have a written agreement in place first. Talk about what is "wear and tear". Who pays for flash-tube that needs replacing in the middle of a shoot etc. It can be done, but figure out all the problems that might happen first.
Good Luck.

reaganomics I hope you are right. I have been waiting for two years now since I got the 3G to upgrade so I am pretty excited. Nonetheless I still plan on showing up about 2 hours early just in case.

I would recommend a Speck Candyshell as they have many colors. Also, the Cath Kidston cases are nice as well if you like floral patterns. The Rabito rabbit case is cute and will get many comments. This would be good for the Easter holiday. :) These cases are all within the $20 range.

Olympic games are worthless without the power pad :) Just sit on the ground on your knees and pound the mat with your fists at drum like speed...the only way to beat Cheata. With the addition of the Wiimote you'd have discus and shot put covered too :D
I don't know. An Olympic game with horrible crossovers. Sound like a horrible proposition to me. Like lame holliday programming or horrible movie tie ins. What's with fanboys and mixing universes? How is that something that wets the trousers? Alien and Predator together in one comic/game/movie...oh boy! Sonic AND Mario...world's are colliding, must breathe....if...only...they....could...add...Zelda....too....too perfect to think about....something like that. What gives? I thought things were about gameplay, but apparently to some gameplay = gimmickie ideas. No mention of gameplay style, games, etc. Just the mention of mario and sonic and people are already on board...

Missed by many yesterday due to the fervor of the WWDC Keynote address was an announcement (http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-dev/2006/Aug/msg00067.html) by Apple's Open Source Project Manager, Ernest Prabhakar, concerning Apple and its Open Source initiative.
Mac OS Forge
With the recent announcement of the demise of OpenDarwin.org (http://www.opendarwin.org/), Apple has stepped up to the plate and has created Mac OS Forge (http://www.macosforge.org/), a community site hosted by Apple to "support WebKit and other open source projects focused on Mac OS X, especially those looking to transition from OpenDarwin.org." Current projects include the Bonjour, Collaboration (iCal Server), Kernel (XNU), Launchd, and WebKit.
XNU x86 Source Released
Apple has released the source code for the Intel x86 version of the Darwin Kernel, beginning with Darwin 8.7 (Mac OS 10.4.7). While apologies were offered for the delay in releasing the source, no explanation was given. Speculation had begun earlier in the year that Apple was closing the XNU x86 source (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/05/20060517144323.shtml) due to piracy concerns. MacGuides has an introduction to Darwin (http://guides.macrumors.com/Darwin) and XNU (http://guides.macrumors.com/XNU) for readers unfamiliar with the technologies.
iCal Server Source
As many readers have noted, Apple has indeed released the source for iCal Server (slated to be released with Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard" Server) under the Apache License (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).
Other Licensing Changes
Bonjour and Launchd projects are now being distributed under the Apache License. The projects were previously relegated to Apple's Apple Public Source License (http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/2.0.txt).

3 1/2 years, no mini recovery :(
Sounds stupid, but how did you pay them?
If you've paid by credit card call your card company. Often they'll hold payment on your behalf, and it's amazing how much clout they have with companies.
If you're RAC and 90% of your customers (happy or otherwise) pay by CC you can't afford to piss VISA off. At the moment the RAC owe you say �200 while the RAC are owed ~�200,000 by VISA on behalf of people like you, who's got more power to resolve this issue?
I once spoke to a chap I know who was in huge debt and asked how he slept a night. He said if you owe a Bank �100 you're screwed, they won't try to help you, but if you owe them �100,000 they're screwed and will bend over backward to help.
He who holds the purse strings holds the power.

Looking at the new revamped OWC SATAIII SSD vs a WD 7200RPM 500GB HDD, the SSD has a higher read/write power draw @ 2.5W vs the HDD's 1.75, and a higher idle @ 1.2 vs 0.80. I know that the SSD can do the work much faster than the HDD but with that power draw I can see how the SSD can easily end up using just as much if not more power than the HDD.
But the root of my question is: Is the SSD turned off when the laptop is in sleep or standby?
I ask because there is no power draw listed on OWC's side for these mods but the WD site lists 0.40W when in sleep or standby. If the SSD is still using 1.2W when in these modes thats about 3x's the power usage

I use Photoshop Elements 2.0. Got it for ~$35 off Ebay. I use it to make wallpapers for cell phones and computer. Very easy to crop and cut, resize, color change, add text, combine photos. 3.0 is out now and is probably better.

I totally support this.
People seem to have forgotten the meaning of "intellectual property".
Computers have made thievery too easy.
So easy that some people no longer recognize it as thievery.

You'd have to be fairly close to them for more than a brief encounter and the radiation dissipates after awhile. Not only that, they'd have to get fairly large doses in the first place to emit much radiation.
I think the real concern would be not so much the animals themselves. For an animal to represent a real exposure risk, it would probably have to be so "hot" that it would not live very long at all, nor would anything that were to eat it. It is about the contaminated material they might pick up and carry away from Fukushima. Each creature just has to bring us a very small amount, enough of them in concert, over time, could in theory make our cities, or parts of the, uninhabitable. Not sure what we could do to prevent it.
