Unfortunately, Jennifer, Dennis Prager is no longer on the air in the Seattle-Tacoma area. With the KOL format change, all of Salem Radio is gone, though you can listen to Michael Medved at 710 KTTH.
You do have the option to download Dennis’s shows on iTunes, save them to an iPod or other device that will play MP3 files and you might be able to listen to him that way. I used to download Dennis’s shows and listen to them on my Sprint phone. A lot of cell phones these days will accept MP3 files.
And, if you don’t want to join “Pragertopia” you can download the show’s podcast. The free downloads include all the commercials.
Dennis is not the only one who is no longer in Seattle. Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Miller and some others are gone as well.
It may not be what you wanted, but there it is.
Take care,
Daniel

I have an idea. How about the DP fans in or around the Seattle area get together for an hour or two? We can grouse over the loss of Dennis from the Seattle airwaves, we can talk about the coming Obama Presidency (Are you ready for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?), we can discuss how to move forward culturally, politically, etc.
Allow me to suggest the first or second week of December. Since the last get together at the Crossroads Bellevue Shopping Center was something of a bust, I’ll look for a venue in Seattle. The Third Place Books Pub is still a fun place. It has the feeling of being part of a small rebellion, meeting in the heart of “Baghdad” Jim McDermott’s district (the guy won re-election by something like 60-30, but at least he didn’t call his constituents racists & rednecks), talking about stuff that makes most Liberal-Lefties hair curl.
Let’s keep the discussion going. It will be fun.
Take care,

Perhaps it might bring out the folks who have not been to an event before.

amazing time on the Prager cruise. I look forward to seeing your pics.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about cameras, but I'm sure someone in the
group has some good advice.
Take care,

I'm very excited for you! I wish I was going, but unfortunately I'm not. I
am a photographer though. You probably already know the information stated
below, but I thought I would send it anyway.
Are you looking for a fixed lens/compact digital camera like the Canon
SD770? That is a great camera should give you nice scenic images. The Canon
SD790, SD880, and SD890 are also very good. The Sony Cybershot W300, Sony
DSC-W220 and Nikon Coolpix S550, S560 and S600 are also good compact digital
camera choices.
You can also look for digital SLR cameras which allow you to change lenses
when shooting motion photography or nature photography. The SLRs are larger
in size and in general more expensive, but there are a few models that are
around the 500- 1,000 dollar mark. (Canon EOS Rebel XS, XSi, XTi, and the
Nikon D60, D80, and D90 are good starting points).
Let me know if you would like additional information on what type of camera
might work best for your trip and I'll try to help.
Enjoy your trip!
Megan

Thanks a lot I have found the canon 770 at two places: Amazon for $160 and
a local camera store for $230. I would rather buy from the local store but
the difference is really big. I am not sure what to do. I want to have the expertise
of the local available.
If I buy from Amazon can you advise me further? If so I would like to talk by
phone if that works for you, My # is 206 789 6968.
Thanks James Eisenhut

James,
It sounds like you are new to the digital camera game, and you are going on a cruise to Africa. If you are going to be doing any wildlife photography, zoom is a big deal. And so are image stabilization and shutter lag. So I’ll mention an alternative that you may or may not wish to consider – the Cannon SX10 IS. This is a bigger, more expensive, camera, but it has 20X zoom (almost 7X more than the 770), significantly less shutter lag and very good image stabilization. I’m going to get one before going to China in April – it will be my 4th digital camera. The SX10 is more of a serious amateur photographer’s camera, a “step down” from true digital SLR cameras which the professionals use, but it is high end amateur camera.
Why do you need good image stabilization and minimal shutter lag, and large zoom? Well zoom is needed when you can’t get close. And you need good image stabilization to minimize blur, which is aggravated by high zoom. And you need small shutter lag because you push the shutter button when you see the picture you want to capture. But if your image is a second later, it more often than not ends up being a useless shot. This is really apparent in wildlife photography, but is a serious problem when taking pictures of your grandkids showing off. The shutter lag is not often listed in the specifications, but I can tell you the differences are significant between the 770 and the SX10 IS since the SX10 has the “latest & greatest” computer (version IV instead of III). I’ve checked the SX10 – it is much better than any other non-digital SLR I’ve checked or owned.
The 770 looks like a great camera and it is very small. If you are more interested in just having a small, general use camera, then the 770 would be great. A note about tours, there are a lot of people there taking a lot of pictures. It is easy to share, so if you make friends with the guy that is a real photography nut with the digital SLR, then you share your people shots with him and he the wildlife shots with you. I always take my small laptop when I travel making this easy, but I’m sure you’ll have a computer available. Another trick regarding shutter lag: most of the digital cameras now have a “pre-focus” capability where you frame your shot and focus by pressing the shutter button down half way. Then you shoot by completing the shutter press. This removes most, but not all of the shutter lag, which is mostly caused by the time it takes for the auto focus to occur. Doing takes practice – you need to get to the point you do it automatically because very often you are shooting when the excitement level is high.
I’d definitely suggest getting the camera and learn to use it before leaving. Knowing how to use is the key to getting good pictures. Please forgive me if you are already aware of all this – I don’t mean to be patronizing.
Hope you have a great trip – I’m also envious. And good shooting!
Mike Van Schoiack
