|I picked up an $8 Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri' but it also listed 'Watereri Globe' on the tag.
I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as 'Watereri Globe'? And its simply 'Watereri' and will likely mature at 8-12' x 8-12'. With a 10 year size of about 5' x 5'.
Can anyone confirm for me? Thanks!

|Will, the one at your pic looks totaly differend then the "normal" 'Watereri' which does have a pyramidal growing habbit.
The branches of the 'Watereri' does have another angle which give it this pyramidal shape.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the 'Watereri Globe'.
Is there a tag with some info of the nurserey who brought it into the trade?
Maybe you can ask them about it's origin...

|8 bucks? What, are they virtually giving conifers away in the US?
Very nice find. Keeper.
|Severn, I'm starting to see alot of deals as of late with this this heat wave. Some places aren't moving stock. Its been a horrendous year. A cold wet spring and then BOOM, heat wave with minimal rain.
Same place had a 4' (1.2m) wide Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa' in a 7 gallon container for $30! I almost bought it but it was a bit too pot bound.
I had to save the little bugger. The folks there surely don't know whats what. I pulled down a Picea omorika 'Bruns' from the shelf too and an employee stopped by and said "Thats a nice plant, didn't even know we serbian spruces".
|You will definitely have to work on the roots coming out of that undersized pot.
|You bet I will, already took a look but figured what the heck.
I want to start unraveling now but I know I have to wait about a month.

|Btw Will, I asked you a quiestion in the topic about my Picea corner.
Maybe you overlooked it... :0)

May all of my Gasbuddy's have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. Best wishes throughout the Holiday season.
So sorry to hear about the terrorist activities in Ottawa. Infuriating and very sad.
Just created a new roll call in Just For Fun forum. Please feel free to join! Thanks Ed
There still are a few GasBuddies around that began in 2001 that haven't retired yet, and my buddy Roadkill from Saskatchewan, Canada is in the number 3 spot with 4,821,870 points having been here now for 13 years, 3 months, and 16 days as of today, when he started on May 26, 2001! Sometime around the middle of January 2015 he should achieve that 5M points milestone right behind Splinter! WTG Roadkill! He still is young enough to continue on for many more years, how about 6M, 7M, or even more! Have a nice Wednesday and a nice week! Ron
Please block the message below. I'm a friend of Mudsprings and SquawBear.
Road, You doing a bang up job, Nearly 4.8 mil that is a load of points, Keep up the good work, Your Gas Buddy
Congrats on reaching another new-car milestone, even if you don't get one any more <g>
Stop by the wb of t-w and wish him a Happy Birthday!!!
Good to see you again. You haven't aged much in 13 years. We're camping at South Lake Tahoe. Sunday we met with KarisHolman one of the local Gas Buddies for for lunch with her husband. If you look in my Gas Buddies album she is in there.
Happy late Canada Day. Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary.

More Fun with JJ (Helen Pearce)
A reader commented yesterday that she had been contacted by "Faith Stuart" of FS Capital LLC who wanted to buy her home. After connecting the dots, we concluded this is none other than our friend JJ (Helen Joanne Pearce). Taking a look at her site at www.fscapitalllc.com, I noticed a slide show of recently sold homes. Of course I know these are fake, but how to prove it?
A little Googling led me to www.tineye.com, which allows you to upload an image to see where it is on the web. I grabbed one of the photos from the FS Capital site and entered into the search engine. What do you know? It was found instantly on www.shutterstock.com, a stock image download site. I purchased a copy to use in this blog post. So like JJ, I, too, have sold this home now!
So just for fun, here are the images from FS Capital:
2 Responses to "More Fun with JJ (Helen Pearce)"
This is great! I just shook my head when I saw these pictures on that website. How could anyone believe they're legit? I knew they came from somewhere other than the homeowners front yard, I just didn't know where. Again, great research! I thoroughly enjoy watching their deception being unequivocally unraveled!
I have been waiting for our first month of rent and now I'm really disillusioned. She was super friendly upfront, then very responsive. Now I can't get in touch with her. This morning we decided to dig deeper and stumbled on your website. The name and address match everything we've gotten from her. We had sent a receipt for the $500 deposit and just got it back with a return to sender stamp. Seems to match the trend I'm hearing above. Is there anyone out there who has notified the FBI? JJ and her husband Matt appear to be preying on folks all across the country (our home is not in Florida South Carolina, or Alabama).
They should be stopped for this fraud! We're military and will be contacting the JAG about these people.

More Than 100 Sickened In Peru Mining Spill
About 30 people were taken to the San Pablo hospital in the highlands regional capital of Huaraz immediately after the July 25 rupture, Moran said. "Some people continue to get sick and continue to go to Huaraz," he added.
The director of the private San Pablo hospital, Raul Guisse, refused to say how many patients were being treated there Friday from the spill. He said he was not authorized by his superiors to provide the information by phone. Peru's Civil Defense agency said July 28 that five children under age 10 were among those sickened.
Moran said Antamina is paying the health care costs of those sickened by the spill. Antamina is a consortium that includes some of the world's biggest mining multinationals, BHP Billiton Ltd. of Australia, Xstrata PLC of Switzerland, TECK Cominco Ltd. of Canada and the Mitsubishi Corp. of Japan.
Peru's Environment Ministry has said it will release details on Saturday of medical exams of the victims.The company said 45 tons of the concentrate spilled and all but 3 tons were cleaned up. Moran and Mendoza said the spill was the first from the 190-mile (302-kilometer) pipeline, which delivers copper concentrate to a treatment plant on the coast from which it is loaded as a powder on ships for export to smelters abroad. The company says the pipeline measures between 8-10 inches (21-25 centimeters) in diameter. Peru is the world's No. 2 producer of copper behind Chile and mining has been central to its recent economic boom, accounting for more than 60 percent of export income. But the environmental costs have had a negative social impact. Fearing water supplies could be diminished or contaminated, residents of the bordering state of Cajamarca continue to resist a $5 billion gold mining project that would be Peru's largest. The dispute has triggered violence that killed five civilians last month and prompted Peru's government to impose a state of emergency that suspended civil liberties in three provinces. That emergency was extended Friday for another 30 days.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
Default Gateway not doing anything
I am using a router with internet access with the default gateway of 192.168.1.1 and another router with intranet access with the default gateway of 192.168.105.4 and the internet router is not being accessed even with the correct address. It thinks those two are the same.
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2010
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
Based on my limited understanding, a router wouldn't have a default gateway... they each have an address, and it can be used as your client system's default gateway.
What is your network mask on your client? What is the ip of your client? My guess is that your client is 192.168.105.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 based on your description. The client will send all requests outside of the local network to whichever is set as its default gateway, which should (I believe) be on the same subnet.
Since you have 2 gateways, you will probably need to do some sort of routing beyond what is provided with a default gateway.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This studio flat would suit a single or couple. It has its own entrance from the street, but is part of a large private house. It is quiet and brilliantly located for the park, shopping and sightseeing. The flat is maintained to a high standard and is quiet and well heated. It has a large double bed with new mattress and pillows. There is a clothes washer and dryer. Separate kitchen (separate room) with microwave, cooker etc. The Studio room has lots of cupboard space, a TV, WIFI and a small sofa. There is a small shower off the bedroom and between the bedroom and kitchen there is a small table for eating. This is a really sweet studio and it isn't that small.
We are an English family who have restored the whole building as our home. The front room studio works perfectly to rent as it has its own entrance. We have only just started letting out the studio in the basement. It has worked very well, and there is a housekeeper who will make the beds on arrival and make sure everything is absolutely perfect.
Ann-Mari purchased this apartment in 2010
This is a really beautiful house of grand proportions and lovingly restored. The area is just wonderful and we really love living here. It is both quiet and vibrant and centrally located plus perfect for the park as we have two dogs.
Its the only complete house in the street, all the others have been converted into hotels or flats and it makes this house really special
This flat is located in Bayswater. The street is quiet, but the area is vibrant and fun, with shops, bars and restaurants nearby. It is close to all public transport (tubes & buses) so for a base it is excellent. Oxford Street is just 4 minutes by bus, Kensington Gardens 2 minutes walk from the front door and it's a 5 minutes bus ride to Portobello Road Market. Round the corner is Whiteleys Department Store, which has lots of shops cinemas and restaurants. Queensway is a few minutes walk away & is full of ethnic restaurants and great fun. It is in a brilliant location for sightseeing as well as shopping and eating. Paddington Station is 5 minutes walk from the flat making it very easy to get to from from Heathrow airport - you take the Heathrow Express from Heathrow to Paddington, which takes 15 minutes.
A reduced daily rate on booking made for January or February 2015 are now £90 per night - minimum 3 nights.
|Rate Period

VNC Server Installation on CentOS 6.5
Submitted by howtoforge (Contact Author) (Forums) on Mon, 2014-06-30 15:56. ::
VNC Server Installation on CentOS 6.5
Version 1.0
This guide explains how to configure VNC-server in CentOS 6.5 server. It is a very convinient way of administrating the CentOS 6.5 with the help of GUI(Graphics User Interface). The GUI can be access any where with the help of the VNC-client on any OS. The basic condition is that the connecting OS must have VNC-clients installed in it.
1 Preliminary Note
In my case I have a fresh installed CentOS6.5 Server on which I will be installing the VNC-server so that I can access the CentOS server with GUI. You can follow the guide for the basic installation of the CentOS server till Chapter 7. Please don't install the Development Tools. All of the cases are same as per the guide. My details are as follows:
IP address 192.168.0.100
2 InstallationI am logged in my system with root, & now I will be installing the VNC-server.
yum groupinstall DesktopFurther install
yum install gnome-core xfce4 firefox
yum install tigervnc-server
Now make the service on after every reboot
chkconfig vncserver on
3 Adding VNC userIn my case I am using user=srijan it will differ in your case. You can use any username for the same.
useradd srijan
Now I will assign the vncpassword for the user with the user I just created before as:
su - srijan
[root@server1 ~]# su - srijan
[srijan@server1 ~]$ vncpasswd
[srijan@server1 ~]$
Now I will make the configuration file for the vncserver by creating file as follows:
vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
Give the entries like this.
Here your port comes to be 5901 & 1024x768 resolution for the VNC client, you can choose resolution of your own choice.
Now I will restart the VNC server service as root user:
service vncserver restart
[root@server1 ~]# service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server: [ OK ]
Starting VNC server: 1:srijan xauth: creating new authority file /home/srijan/.Xauthority
New 'server1.example.com:1 (srijan)' desktop is server1.example.com:1
Creating default startup script /home/srijan/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/srijan/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/srijan/.vnc/server1.example.com:1.log
[root@server1 ~]#
Now to make the changes affective I will kill VNC & do some more configurations as follows:
pkill vnc
Open the file comment the line #twm & & add the line exec gnome-session as follows:
vi /home/srijan/.vnc/xstartup
& Finally reboot the machine.
4 VNC Client
At client end my OS is Ubuntu14.04 with vino installed on my client machine. Otherwise you can install any VNC-client of your choice. In case other OS say windows-7 you can install Realvnc-client or any other of your choice.
Again start the vncservice with the user srijan:
su - srijan
vncserver[root@server1 ~]# su - srijan
[srijan@server1 ~]$ vncserver
New 'server1.example.com:1 (srijan)' desktop is server1.example.com:1
Starting applications specified in /home/srijan/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/srijan/.vnc/server1.example.com:1.log
[srijan@server1 ~]$
Now I am going to connect with the VNC server through my VNC-client
It will prompt for the password as follows:
Put yourvncpassword the same which you gave at the time of adding the user srijan.
Now you are connected with the CentOS6.5 Server. In case you want to add more users to access the vnc-console you need to add the user, assign the vncpassword for the new-user as mentioned above & append the entry in the file as:
vi /etc/sysconfig/vncserversFor instance I am using user kishore, entries will be like this
This will enable user kishore to get the access to the VNC-server with the port 5902. In the same way you can add the root user also.
Congrats you have configured the VNC-server successfully :)

Common's Message On "Selma" And Being Black In America Today: "It's Our Turn"

Watch the video and see what he had to say about being a apart of such a historic moment in time on-screen and off.

Grammy-nominated soul vocalist Maimouna Youssef, better known as Mumu Fresh, has been in the studio preparing new music for fans.

Common's Father Passes Away: 'The Way He Said Things Made Me Look At Life In A New Way'
Last week, Common's father, Lonnie Rashid Lynn Sr., passed away at age 71. The former ABA player's passing was revealed by Common during an interview with the Associated Press this week.
"He was truly a natural poet and master of words. His personality and soul shined through his work," the Chicago rapper shared. "The way he said things made me look at life and the world in a new way, in a different way. They always sparked a thought in my head. His words would always make me strive to achieve higher, to write better, to be more truthful with my words."
Affectionately referred to as Pops, Lonnie Sr. made appearances on several of Common's albums. His last poem was recorded on Common's 2011 album, The Dreamer/The Believer, on a track titled "Pops Belief."
"Live the life you believe. The American dream, the Black American dream, the universal dream. For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God. I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings … I believe in the truth, truth. See you next lifetime," he ended the poem.
The circumstances surrounding Lonnie Sr.'s death were not disclosed. The loss of a parent has to be rough. We send our prayers to Common and his family.

Mike Brown's Parents Talk Meeting With Eric Holder + Iyanla Challenges Rappers To Come To Ferguson
Earlier we told you that Attorney General Eric Holder was traveling to Ferguson, Missouri to meet with law enforcement to discuss how they can improve the ways in which things have been run down there. It seems to be helping a bit. Today, the governor ordered that National Guard withdraw from the protests. What we didn't know was that Holder was also planning on meeting with the parents of the slain teenager, Michael Brown.
In a recent interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Brown's parents spoke about their meeting with Holder and whether or not it restored any of their faith in the justice system.
Here's what Michael's mother Lesley McSpadden had to say:
You can read a person. And when you're looking at them and they're looking at you in your eyes, it put some trust back there, that you lost. And he did ensure that it'll be a fair and thorough investigation.
Anderson Cooper: Do you have confidence in the investigations- the county, state and federal investigations?
Up until yesterday, I didn't. But just hearing the words come directly from his mouth, face to face, he made me feel like one day I will. And I'm not saying today or yesterday but one day, they'll regain my trust.
You can watch the clip of their interview below.
And in other Ferguson news, Iyanla Vanzant has traveled to the suburb of St. Louis to not only is she there filming a special episode of "Iyanla Fix My Life" but to speak to some of the protesters and community members and pray for peace and healing for Ferguson and for our very troubled nation. Today, at 3 pm she started her 14 day peace challenge while the legal process unfolds. And Iyanla not only issued the challenge, she also asked some prominent members of the Hip Hop community to join her. She said the young people feel like the elders in the community aren't hearing them or taking part so she asked that people who young people listen to and respect should show go to Ferguson and participate in the challenge. In a video posted on her Facebook page yesterday, Vanzant challenged rappers Jay Z, LeBron James, common, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Drake and Lil Wayne. Take a look at it below.
Common Covers Uptown With Selita Ebanks, Says He Almost Married Serena Williams
Torrei Hart isn't the only person who can't seem to get over their ex. In his recent interview with Uptown Magazine, rapper turned actor Common spoke about everything from violence in Chicago, the death of his dear friend J. Dilla and his relationship with Serena Williams.
Sitting, with the beautiful Selita Ebanks seductively and suggestively stroking his face, inside the issue Common explained what the reality of Rashid is really like. Check out some of the highlights below.
On almost marrying Serena Williams:
Common is single now, and enjoying his unattached life, but says he believes in marriage. He thought it would happen with Williams, but he is taking his time now before he jumps into something else. "If I'm in it as much as I was with Serena, as much as I loved her…it takes time to heal and find that peace to be able to move on."
On being labeled as "soft":
"I'm hardcore which to me is coming from the heart. Putting your heart on that paper and being true."
Speaking for the first time on the death of close friend and industry peer J. Dilla:
"He was physically deteriorating. It would be sad for me to see. You know you coming home healthy. You feel guilty. It brought my own immortality to the forefront […] Until I did ["Rewind That"], I wouldn't answer questions in interviews about him. I wouldn't keep pictures around. That song has been part of my process in dealing with it still."
On his tenth album Nobody's Smiling and the youth of Chicago:
"One way of giving back is by having young Chicago artists on the album. This album is an action to increase awareness to people in the city. I owe it to Chicago […] The most beautiful thing about this project is it's not ahead of its time, it's not a throwback album. It feels like today. I feel like a new artist. There are people out there that don't know my music, but they know me from acting. Some don't know me at all."
I find it so interesting that Common always finds a way to bring Serena's name up–or agrees to talk about her so often in his interviews. I didn't think too much of it until I heard that Serena straight up called Common one day and asked why he was always talking about her when they were no longer together? You'd think that maybe he'd pull up. But naw, she confronted him in 2010 and it's 2014 and you just read her name. Perhaps Common is lamenting the love he lost. Who knows. But do you think he should chill a bit?
New Couple Alert? Common Speaks On Rumors That He's Dating Regina King
Now that Common has lifted his personal ban on dating industry women, has he found love in the arms of actress Regina King? For quite some time now, there have been rumors that the Chicago rapper has been dating the former "Southland" actress. During an interview with The Rickey Smiley Show, Common addressed those rumors.
"Nah, I mean I love Regina King as an actress and I think she's a beautiful woman," he explained. "I haven't even talked to Regina King in a little while. I seen her somewhere, but um nah, that's not true."
He also expressed that out of all of his famous exes, if he had to, he would be most willing to do a relationship do-over with Serena Williams.
"Um, probably Serena. Yes, point blank she's just a good person and when we broke up, it was one of these things where we just weren't ready at that time. I probably would be at a new place, she would be at a new place and it might work out."
However, he doesn't seem like he's trying to go there.
"The only love there is tennis," he said in response to a question about whether or not he still loves the tennis star. "You know what I'm talking about? [Laughs]. Nah, I do got love for Serena, I ain't gonna lie. I got love for her, that's my buddy."
Listen to his interview below. Do you think Common and Regina would've been a good match?

What Common Had To Say About Getting Back Together With Serena Williams
Over the past few weeks, Common has spoken quite openly about his relationships with both Serena Williams and Erkyah Badu. During a recent chat with The Breakfast Club, he went on to further expound on his relationships with these celebrity women, as well as his past relationship with actress Taraji P. Henson.
While the actor and rapper says that he was definitely serious about both Erkyah and Serena, it doesn't really seem that a reunion between either couple is likely.
"It's like once I've experienced that person its like man, sometimes life goes on," he explained. "I can't say I never would go back but Serena and Erkyah was the most serious relationships that I had as an adult and after, it's one of those things, it's like, 'I have to move forward.' It was real love right there. Both of those women I could've married. I was like if I'm not supposed to be there, we're just supposed to be friends."
Speaking of marriage, Common doesn't seem too sure that he'll be making the big leap in the future—or ever.
"I don't know. I was thinking about that last night while talking to one of my lady friends. I don't know if I'm marriage material, maybe someday" he expressed.
"I be focused on my music and my work a lot. Sometimes that's hard to balance with a relationship. I do like relationships, but a lot of times when I'm in relationships, I don't make my best albums. Put it this way, I would have to find the right relationship. You know, a woman who understands the time that you gotta give. to your work. That's really what it is."
He also further explained his previous comment that Erkyah has that "good good."
"The hood knows what it is. Erkyah got something with her, she got something special. Erykah a raw girl, she got a lot to her. She's from the hood, point blank. She's just one of those people from the hood that's artsy, artistic, spiritual, she's got a lot to her."
As for the public believing that Serena broke his heart, Common had this to say:
"Me and Serena was together. We broke up. I don't know specifically her and Drake, it felt like obviously something was going on [after we broke up], I ain't dwell on it too much. I ain't have no problem with that, you do what you do. After a while I felt like in some of Drake's songs he was saying stuff that was subliminal to me. And I was like, you just don't know nowadays cats be doing them sneak disses and after a while it was like I'm just going to come out and say what I need to say. It was a show I was at and I left and Drake said something out to the crowd, some tough stuff. So then I was like, 'aight, it was that time' because I knew he was directing it to me. We kept it on record and after that it was squashed."
The Chicago rapper-turned-actor also confessed to confronting Serena about her relationship with Drake.
"I definitely talked to her about it. At the end of the day, once she aint ya lady, what can I say? It don't have nothing to do with me at that point."
He also seemed to confirm rumors that he once had a thing with Kerry Washington by releasing a bashful giggle.
"Easy, easy. Ain't no scandal here. She's married now."
Out of all of his celebrity exes, Common says his mama loved Taraji the most.
"My mother loved Taraji and funny enough she got cool with Serena even more after we broke up."

"The 'Badu Box' Is Real": Common Speaks On Erykah Badu's Voodoo, And How Their Relationship Changed Him
In an interview with The Combat Jack Show, Common spoke about his new album, Nobody's Smiling, and the topic of his past relationships came up. Of course, he was once involved with Erykah Badu (they were together from 2000 and 2002) and during the time he was with her, it seemed that the rapper's whole style changed. A similar change occurred when Badu was involved with Andre 3000 back in the day (but he never looked back), and because of this, many have joked about the effect she has on rappers–a "voodoo" of sorts. There has been a song about it ("She Got That Erykah Badu") and everything. But Common is the first man she's been with to really talk about such jokes and claims. Badu was his first love, and while he joked about the power of the "Badu box," he admits that she was a big inspiration to him.
When speaking on the effect she has on men, Common says she's just that special.
"Yeah, the 'Badu Box' is real. Man, it could take you to another universe [laughs]. Nah but seriously. That's when you meet somebody that's real special and you're like, 'Man, this woman's got…she got something else, man. It ain't just sex, it ain't just the looks. It's just something that's kind of like spirit-wise where you're like, 'This woman got something else.' And that's all it is. but for me, I just appreciated her for all those aspects: Her being super-talented, of being real fresh, and being into new s**t I just wasn't up on. And then at the same token that whole spiritual things is real. We're both Pisces."
And he also explained why he was walking around in kufis and crochet ensembles for a time while they dated.
"She definitely was not like, 'wear this.' It was something that was coming from me. Moving to New York I had the aspirations to do something new, to change, to grow, just try new things. She definitely was an influence I can't act like she wasn't an influence because she introduced me to certain people that were creative artists, but as far as my choice – it was my choice to say, 'I want to do this. I want to do that.' She wasn't agreeing with some of my fashion choices either to be honest. But that period in my life, I had a great time. Erykah, I be listening to some of her songs, and I'm like, 'This girl is dope.'"
Badu has spoken in the past about the jokes about her mystical powers on men, According to Global Grind, she had this to say a while back:
"I learned just as much from them as they learned from me. I'm a cold motherf***a though. But the people I'm with are cold too, they're a reflection of that. Become a cold motherf***a and the motherf***a will just come like magnets."
You might want to write that last part down so you too can become a "cold motherf***a." But in all seriousness, what do you think of what Common had to say?
Check out the full interview, which is more than an hour long, here. The question about Badu occurs at the 1:25:30 mark.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 48 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daros Excellent value for money This printer is an excellent product given the very reasonable price. It is extremely easy to set up but it does need to be done using the cd supplied not plug and play like other HP printers that I have owned previously. The wifi set up is simplicity itself and I can not understand some reviews on other sites that say it is not user friendly. In fact it is a far better and simpler product to install than my previous Kodak printer were the wifi printing never worked properly from day one. The quality of print is not up to the standards of more expensive HP printers but is more than adequate for home use. 10 December 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spewitt Excellent purchase Excellent printer easy to set up wifi, all the features you will need at an amazing price by Asda 30 December 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizibet Terrific printer I needed a new printer fairly quickly because my old one had packed up. This was an excellent price and was an 'all-in-one' so I could still photocopy and scan. It was easy to set up as long as you follow the instructions carefully. The only very minor criticism is that I can't enlarge something that I'm copying, but it doesn't matter - I still think it's excellent. 14 February 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brasil85 Great Value Colour Printer Great value & now works fine once I had installed the software.The only problem I had as I don"t have a CD/DVD Rom,I needed to go online to download the software.I tried the link mentioned in the manual but got a warning saying it was an insecure website so wasn"t sure I should continue.I separately downloaded the software by exploring the HP website. 27 May 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by doggo25 HP home printer Easy to set up, easy to use. Very good value for money 16 March 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by itschad Reasonable printer My old printer was getting on a bit and was getting more difficult to source genuine ink cartridges. I decided on HP printer because the ink cartridges are reasonable. The printer is easy to set up and the print quality is good. Recommended product. 20 May 2014

I have a confession to make. I'm a no good, stinking copycat. As soon as I saw Jen's blog post on Grainline about her Arizona shorts, I knew that I wanted to make my own in a similar fabric.
Well I lucked out on my own awesome fabric and made this pair of shorts from the same pattern I used awhile back for my coin button shorts.
Just like the coin button shorts, these shorts have big pockets, are trimmed with bias tape, and have an invisible side zip closure.
I've been getting a lot of use out of these shorts when the Bay Area decides to throw in a hot day, so please pardon my wrinkles!

Hi Ramana,
I guess there are a couple of things you could do.
If the line to extrude along is straight, you could do something like this using basic MATLAB commands:
[Z,P] = meshgrid(0:1:100,linspace(0,2*pi,101));
X = R0 * (100-Z) .* cos(P);
Y = R0 * (100-Z) .* sin(P);
h = surf(X,Y,Z)
axis equal
This is an example that just makes a cone along a constant axis.
If you needed the cone to twist around, then I think you would probably have to modify my program a little bit to make the base curve change (get smaller) as you build the surface.
Hi daf,
That line of code is Rodrigues' Rotation Formula:
Look at the first equation on that wikipedia page. It is how you rotate a point around an axis of unit length. In my case, instead of using a loop to go over all the base the points one by one, I have kind of vectorized it and done it in one line with a little bit of linear algebra.
Hi Yuval, thanks for the feedback. I'll update this when I get a chance in the next few days, but all that you need to do to add caps to the ends is add the following in at line 175.
SUR = cat(3,repmat(C(:,1),1,npt),SUR,repmat(C(:,K),1,npt));
It turned out that there was an unnecessary AXES command in the slider callback that was causing the GUI to crash when it was called repeatedly. That should be fixed now.
Hmmm. If I move the slider for a long time (about 15 seconds), the GUI fails.
Does this happen to anyone else?
The way I rigged the slider to update dynamically upon dragging is a little shady, and therein may lie the problem.
I'll have to check on this...
great work !!!!!!!!!!!
really easy to use!

SSH – secure shell uses public key encryption and is a secure replacement for telnet.
SFTP – secure FTP is a secure replacement for FTP; FTPES – ftp over explicit SSL is another secure file transport protocol.
You will need to be sure you have clients capable of supporting these protocols.
The simple answer is that you have two alternatives: (1) don't use telnet and ftp, or (2) create a secure tunnel such as VPN or by protocols as noted by Labnuke99 above.
For telnet, easiest is simply not to use TN5250, but use TN5250E instead. Set the connections to "bypass signon" and force SIGNOFF to use ENDCNN(*YES).
For most terminal emulator usage, it isn't that passwords are sent in the clear. The problem is that you're using the standard signon panel to enter your password into. Standard display file records are sent in the clear, and the standard signon panel is just another display file record. So don't use it. Skip it at signon and don't allow it to redisplay at signoff. If you don't let it display, it won't be used.
TN5250E can send encrypted passwords as part of making the connection, thereby eliminating the need ever to display the signon panel. You tell the connection to "bypass signon" when you configure the TN5250E session.
For ftp,… well, ftp has nothing to do with iSeries Access. They are totally unrelated as far as products go. However, the native i5/OS ftp server supports FTPS at V5R4 or higher. Or you can install product 5733-SC1 — IBM Portable Utilities for i5/OS. (Also see Ordering 5733SC1- IBM Portable Utilities for i5/OS.)
For a FTPS client, you might try FileZilla, the free FTP solution.

Includes character guide, horse terms, quiz, author info, and historical horse info
"You saved your mistress's life, Beauty! Yes, you saved her life."
Black Beauty is the prettiest young horse in the meadows, and spends many happy days under the apple trees with his friends Ginger and Merrylegs. But this easy life comes to an end when Beauty is sold and goes from farm to inn to cabhorse in London, enduring rough treatment from foolish and careless masters. Beauty remains faithful, hardworking, and full of spirit despite his trials, and through him we learn that all horses and humans alike deserve to be treated with kindness.
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails--in a gentle, 19th-century way--against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all. (Ages 9 to 12)

HUNTINGTON BEACH– A second woman has come forward to say she had an affair with West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James while he was married to Sandra Bullock.
Melissa Smith, 35, of Huntington Beach told tabloid Star Magazine that she met James in 2006 on MySpace and they had an intimate relationship. She told the magazine she last saw James in 2009.
Smith, who is reportedly a stripper, said she and James would meet at the West Coast Choppers Headquarters in Long Beach.
People Magazine reported that Smith shopped her story and photos of her and James to multiple media outlets, including People.
James on March 18 issued a public apology to his family after allegations surfaced that James was having an affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
James did not specifically address the alleged affair in his apology.
Oscar-winning actress Bullock has canceled plans to appear at movie premieres of "The Blind Side" in Berlin and London citing personal reasons, according to a statement.
Bullock has left the Sunset Beach home she shared with James and his three children, but People reported on Tuesday that neither James nor Bullock have sought out a divorce lawyer.

Thrower's record year capped by top honor
By CLINTON DICK, Herald Staff Writer | 6/20/2014
Another banner soon will hang in Ottawa High School's gym.
For the second consecutive year, Kord Ferguson was named the Gatorade Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year for Kansas, capping his stellar career at OHS as a shot put and discus thrower.
Another banner soon will hang in Ottawa High School's gym.
For the second consecutive year, Kord Ferguson was named the Gatorade Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year for Kansas, capping his stellar career at OHS as a shot put and discus thrower.
Ferguson, who signed with the Wichita State track team in February, completed his senior year by setting records in both events at the 4A state championship meet in late May in Wichita. His throw of 206 feet, two inches in discus was an all-time record at the 104-year-old meet, and his shot put throw of 64-7.5 feet was a 4A state meet record.
Ferguson also had season bests during the 2014 season of 210-3 in discuss and 67-10 in shot put, which ranked No. 2 in the nation at the time of his selection for the award, according to a news release on Gatorade.com
Evan Shaffer, OHS throwing coach, said coaching Ferguson was easy because he did so much of the work on his own, and compared him to several of his previous record-setting OHS athletes.
"He studied a lot of film, and his work ethic is just unbelievable when it comes to track and field," Shaffer said. "He really put in the time, maybe better than any athlete I've ever coach and I've coached three really good throwers. They were all kind of the same mind set, they wanted to get better. Obviously this year we expected great things and [Ferguson] didn't disappoint anybody."
Shaffer previously coached the likes of throwers Caleb Blakesley and Kearsten Peoples at OHS. Blakesley is the current 5A state meet record holder in shot put with a distance of 63-6.75 he set in 2005, and Peoples set 4A state meet records in the girls shot put with a distance of 51-10.75, and discuss with a distance of 166-7 in 2010.
It is difficult to see Ferguson's athleticism leave OHS, Shaffer said.
"Definitely we are going to miss that kind of a throwing," he said. "I've coach for about 27 years, and three times I've said that I'm not sure if I'll ever have a thrower like that again ... and I'll say it again, I'm not sure if I'll ever have another thrower like that again.
"He works so hard in the weight room and on his technique. He got everything he could get out of high school in those two events."
Brad Graf, assistant principal and activities director at OHS, said a banner recognizing Ferguson's accomplishment will be hung at a later date at the school, 1120 S. Ash St., Ottawa. The honor reflects Ferguson's work ethic, Graf agreed.
"It's a very strong testament to his efforts and abilities and his dedication to the weight room, as well as the technique and the skills necessary to compete in both the shot and the discus," he said.
