No fuel pump reset! Check for a vacuum leak.
Replywindjammer11, August 02, 2013, 20:27Rookie
When set up for a couple of days,starts fine. Idle increases(between 1500-2000rpms). I turn engine off, then it wont restart.I changed numerous sensors: mass air flow sensor, idle position sensor, fuel pressure regulator, idle air position sensor. It does smell of gas but engine will not start (smells something like when it would be flooded).

My limes are all rind and no meat
I have a lime tree that is very healthy. It has dark green leaves and tons of limes. The problem is, when my limes grow, they are all rind with almost no middle to them. I read a few forums that suggested amending w potassium rich soil, which I did last season, but I have the same problem. To make it worse, if I leave the limes on the tree to grow, they reach the size of a small basketball and break off my limbs. I took a picture which I can send, but can't seem to attach it from my phone. It's killing me to have all of these beautiful limes growing with no use for them....unless someone needs zest, then I'm your guy. Can anyone please help?
Are you sure its a lime tree? Also high P can build up over time in your soil and cause problems. Did you test your soil for NPK first to know that you should of added the P? Maybe your picking them too early? Or maybe its a grapefruit tree?
Basketball sized limes seem pretty large (and cool). I would like to see that! Imagine the size of corona beer needed to accommodate a lime that big!
First things first... post some photos so we can get an idea of what you have...
Do you know what variety of lime you have, what rootstock it is grafted to, where do you live? Is it planted inground or in container?
Simple stuff like that... there are people here with a lot of experience, very willing to help you; but you are asking for advice given in the dark.
Without knowing anything else, I can tell you that the number one cause of thick skins is too much Phosphorus.
Help us with details, we will help you with advice.
shakell, this sure doesn't sound like a lime to me. Please post photos of the tree, the graft line on the trunk (so we know you're not just growing rootstock and the graft has died), the leaves and the fruit. Cut a fruit in half and take a photo of that as well. Sounds like possibly your graft has died, and what you're actually growing is just rootstock.

motion sensor vs door jamb switch- confused, please help.
I went into my electrical walkthrough asking for motion sensor lights for my pantry and master closet. But the electrician is trying to talk me into door jamb activated lights instead. Why is he doing this?
One thing he said that confused me is that the sensors only work 180 degrees so that I would have to walk pretty deep into my closet before the light came on. What is he talking about?
What knowledge can I arm myself with before seeing him again on Monday (tomorrow). Thanks for helping!
With a door jamb switch, the light will come on when you open the door and go off when you close it.
With a motion sensor switch, it must be positioned where it can 'see' you for it to turn on the light. That position can be tricky if it is possible to put something between it and you. If it's a walk-in closet or pantry, it would have to see you everywhere you might be while in there so the light wouldn't turn off when the switch loses sight of you.
I'd go with the jamb switch. JMHO
ok I guess that makes some sense.....what if they are motion sensors on a timer? then it would turn on when it "sees" me and stay on for say 5 minutes or whatever the timer is set for? what about override? dont the motion sensors have an override button?
"However, just note that motion sensors often require a neutral at the switch location. Make sure you have one."
Hopefully they are on the 11 code where this is required.

I have these both in my pantry and laundry room. I added them myself. They are not the wall switch type, but actually screw into the light socket with the sensor mounted separately.
The one I linked here is a wireless version. Mine are wired. The cord from the sensor to the socket is maybe 18" long.
Here is a link that might be useful: wireless motion sensor

Ocean Scooter - jet ski for the pool
By Mike Hanlon
December 21, 2005
December 22, 2005 What's better than an Ocean Scooter? Two or more Ocean Scooters – that's what! This is one of the those products which just screams, "why didn't someone think of that before?" An inflatable , battery-powered electric boat that's fast enough to give the kids a thrill, and slow and soft enough to be used in a swimming pool for everything from polo through to your good old fashioned demolition derby. The ASTONE 'Ocean Scooter' went on sale in Australia this month but global supplies will be available for the next Northern hemisphere summer. The Ocean Scooter comes with a battery-powered display, a variable speed throttle, automatic power shutdown, full waterproof circuit protection and a protected propeller body which is impenetrable to probing fingers. And at AUD$269, it'll offer a very high bang-per-buck factor.
It's easy to carry, takes minutes to assemble, has its own electric air pump and is suitable for kids from the age of 5. The Ocean Scooter is powered by a small car battery and has a top speed of 4 km/h (based on a 50kg carrying weight).Share

It was such a pleasure having Marleen and Kim come stay with us. They were tidy, didn't leave a mess, they were interested and interesting - it was very easy to get to know them - friendly and light, and we would have them back in a heartbeat.
Marleen & Kim are a lovely couple; always friendly & respectful & it was a pleasure to host them. They are well traveled & very interesting to listen to. We're sorry their visit was so short, but who knows!
Marleen (and Kim!) arrived on our doorstep like a fresh breeze. They are interesting and gorgeous. They were so interested in what we did and what we liked and enthusiastic about our cottages. They shared their travel tips (and their wine!) with us and it felt as if we had know them forever. I would love them to return - they added something great to our lives.

On April 9, 2013, UDC-DCSL held its annual Service-Learning Seminar-Practicum de-brief to share with students, faculty, and supporters the experiences of this year's 3Ls on the Mississippi Delta, Mississippi Gulf Coast and the Arizona-Mexico border. Prof. Susan Waysdorf gave an introduction and Patrice Wedderburn moderated the panel presentation.
Erika DuPree and Erika White talked about their trip to the Mississippi Delta. Erika White worked with Anton Martinez on education issues since Mississippi has the lowest education level of all the states. Erika DuPree discussed her work on child punishment and designing a pamphlet about juvenile justice.
Candice Tucker and Laura Duncan talked about their trip to Biloxi, MS. The students partnered with 2 other universities and Hope Community Development Agency, a nonprofit organization, to work on environmental legal cases stemming from Hurricane Katrina. Candice Tucker described the trip as a "capstone experience" and said it felt good to work in an under-served area outside of D.C.
Tyrone Hanley and Vanessa Altamirano talked about their trip to the Arizona-Mexico border. Tyrone Hanley said it is important to see social justice issues at the border to see the consequences of border control. Vanessa Altamirano said the trip to Arizona was "life-changing." She talked about being stopped at the border and asked for her passport, seeing the Joe Arpaio detention centers for undocumented immigrants, and the general lack of respect for due process.
After the event Professors Susan Waysdorf, John Brittain, and Kristina Campbell thanked their colleagues and invited students at the School of Law to participate in Service Learning next year. View photos from the trip on Flickr and below..

The swedish producers of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Christer Björkman & Andreas Martin Österdahl, has decided the running order for the final. France will be starting the competition while Ireland will be last out on Saturday.
After the excitement of the first semi-final and amid the preparations for the second semi-final, the six countries who have an automatic place in the final staged their second rehearsal, after which, they all spoke to the media in their own press conferences.
Amandine Bourgeois was next to the stage for the second set of rehearsals for France. Amandine gave a confident performance of L'enfer Et Moi as she looked at ease with her show.
Yesterday we saw the first rehearsals from the six automatically qualified finalists. In this video you can hear some impressions from the rehearsals from Spain, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and Sweden. At the same time you can see a bit from the press centre.
On after an underwhelming Spain is the turn of French fancy Amandine Bourgeois with her sultry song of vengeance, L'Enfer et Moi. Any members of press who were taking a disco nap at their desk were soon woken by this charged performance.
The bookmakers have Denmark as their top favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest next month in Malmö - and so far the fans are pretty much in agreement with this. After the points from five of the fan clubs Emmelie de Forest has a clear first position as the fan favourite of the year.
Both singers hail from different corners of the globe but have stood on the Eurovision stage representing France. Canadian warbler Natasha St. Pier and Indonesian beauty Anggun are poles apart in terms of musical genres but found common ground on the concept album Thérèse, Vivre d'Amour.
Yesterday the organisers were able to present three former Eurovision winner Carola as a special guest performer for Eurovision In Concert. A total of 18 participants are so far confirmed as well for the preview party to be held in Amsterdam on the 13th of April.
Amandine Bourgeois was recently selected to represent France at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. Now she has released the official video clip for her song, L'Enfer Et Moi. The clip was produced by Seb K for Les Films de Morphée.
Today the Head of Delegation meeting took place in Malmö. All the participating entries have now been officially handed it to EBU, the Reference Group got three new members, the starting position in the final for the host country was drawn and the premiliminary dates for next year's contest announced.

Bottom line is we can use him NOW, IF he can carry that play over to the big club. We have a serious problem on our bottom 2 lines. It's a lot better intensity wise with Begin back, but we need to see at least some offensive threat from deeper in the lineup. That is what will win us a few closer games in the stretch.
I think Dagenais is working his way back the the Dogs. Gratton I don't see sticking either, unfortunately.
I'd love to see Bulis reunited with Juneau. They at least created a few chances every game.

I honestly think Balej was doing OK after the 1st game. Hossa was closee to sticking full time last year. Am I too far off with the above?

Branford Marsalis Quartet @ the Jazz Standard
Date: 04.30.2009
Publication: Time Out New York
Author: David R. Adler
Branford Marsalis may be a celebrity—he appeared this past season as a guest taster on Top Chef—but undiluted jazz is the saxophonist's main message. A decade after the death of pianist Kenny Kirkland, practically a brother to Marsalis and his longtime drummer, Jeff "Tain" Watts, the band maintains a reputation as one of the tightest, most explosive units on the current jazz scene, with Joey Calderazzo filling Kirkland's shoes and Eric Revis providing serious momentum on bass. The new disc, Metamorphosen, follows 2006's Braggtown with material that's similar in spirit, from pugilistic swing to limping, asymmetrical rhythm and slow, mournful melody.
Marsalis's work has an assertively modernist, postbebop edge, not unlike the mid-'80s output of his younger brother Wynton, who has long since moved in other directions. That muscular sound informs Metamorphosen, notably Watts's "The Return of the Jitney Man," Marsalis's "Jabberwocky" (a rare alto-sax feature) and Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-a-Ning," heard in a somewhat deconstructed style. Calderazzo's two ballads, "The Last Goodbye" and the out-of-tempo "The Blossom of Parting," introduce a darker element and highlight Marsalis's soprano-sax lyricism. Revis offers the angular, calmly stated counterpoint of "Abe Vigoda," along with "And Then, He Was Gone," a solo bass piece that segues directly into Watts's "Samo," in funky 7/4 time. Metamorphosen may not be a definitive document, but it solidly represents a working band in fine form.

My Grandma died today. I am not upset; she was really doing badly, and she hadn't been "there" for a long time. I am confident that she is a Christian, and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I am not there to be with my Grandpa today because I am home with a bad head cold.
I was also supposed to go to chaperone an all day teen Bible conference for the churches in the area, but the head cold prevented that too.
In other news, I am enrolled in an online "Front End Web Development" class and that's taking up some of my free time (about 10 hours a week). I'd say that's why I haven't been drawing but I'm pretty sure that isn't a real reason. It IS a real challenge though.

The Martin Luther King Bridge (formerly known as the Veterans Bridge) in St. Louis, Missouri, is a cantilever truss bridge of about 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in total length across the Mississippi River, connecting St. Louis with East St. Louis, Illinois. The bridge serves as traffic relief connecting the concurrent freeways of Interstate 55, Interstate 70, Interstate 64, and U.S. Route 40 with the downtown streets of St. Louis.
The bridge was built in 1951 as the Veterans' Memorial Bridge to relieve congestion on the MacArthur Bridge to the south and was built as a toll bridge and was owned by the City of East St. Louis. At one time, it carried U.S. Route 40 and U.S. Route 66 across the river. In 1967, the bridge fell into disrepair when the (free) Poplar Street Bridge was constructed, and traffic began to use that route, leading to declining toll revenues.
Eventually, ownership was transferred dually to the Missouri and Illinois Departments of Transportation and the bridge was renamed after Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968.[2] In 1987, the toll was removed. A bi-state project for about $24,000,000 to renovate the bridge at the behest of local civic and government leaders was carried out in the late 1980s. In the spring of 1989, the rebuilt bridge was reopened. In June 1990, the lighting of the bridge was completed by the St. Louis Port Authority. It is now an important contributor to the transportation needs of the region and the ambiance of the historic St. Louis riverfront.
On October 12, 2009, the bridge was closed in order to reduce the old four-lane configuration down to three wider lanes, install a waterproofing membrane over the bridge surface [1], and to install a concrete barrier to separate eastbound traffic from westbound. Over the previous six years there had been 38 serious accidents, including several involving multiple fatalities.[2] The $1.4 million project was aimed at eliminating these head-on collisions in the future. The bridge re-opened on October 21, 2009.
Daily traffic was down 40% by April 2014 to 12,700 daily, after the new Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge opened in February 2014.[1]

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
With an area of 375 square miles, the county, located southeast of the central park of Minnesota, is 25 miles southwest of Minneapolis, making it part of the seven-county metropolitan area. Though Scott County's population is 77,924, the racetrack, casino and the Renaissance Festival alone account for more than 5.3 million annual visitors.
The Columbine High School incident last spring seared itself into the American consciousness and while everyone has probably grown tired of hearing about it, the fact remains that mass incidents of violence have continued both on and off campus since then.
Police officers, like athletes, must perform in the "public eye" under tremendous stress and pressure. The self-proclaimed experts then scrutinize the decisions made, or not made. They sit back in their armchairs, not having to make split-second decisions. Many have never played the game, yet they are quick to criticize.
How many times in your career have you uttered the words, "It's dead out," or "There's nothin' goin' on," or any of a million similar phrases that basically say, "I'm bored?"
Police officers are asked to make split-second life-or-death decisions. We have to decide in a blink of an eye if we are going to shoot. Then over the next several years everyone will dissect, analyze and scrutinize our actions.
The extraction of unruly or even dangerous criminals from crowded, commercial airliners is not an everyday occurrence for an airport officer, although it happens all too frequently.
Having trained thousands of law enforcement officers in the proper response to and resolution of critical incidents, we watched the Columbine tragedy as courageous tactical officers executed a hurried but effective plan to safely "clear the school."
Criminals beware: You have a piece of Chippendale in your arsenal. How a common household item can be used in a pinch to gain control of a noncompliant subject.
Most police officers have experienced a sense of frustration working within a judicial system that often protects the guilty along with the innocent. And, in many cases, those convicted of crimes or awaiting trail, have more rights than a civilian who has never committed a crime.
Advanced computer programming, combined with materials developed specifically for military defense applications, is leading the way toward the development of the next generation of body armor for law enforcement officers.

Sydney was the perfect trip, couldn't ask for anything better then this. Great hotel, perfect...
The award-winning Mercure Sydney was recently repackaged to cater to families and business travelers. The hotel has a fresh, modern look with plenty of perks for a mid-range hotel--kids under 15 stay and eat breakfast free! Add eight conference rooms, a foot-friendly downtown address and a pool and this renovated hotel starts to shine. Central Station is located around the corner from the hotel for those traveling by train.
Each of the hotel's 517 rooms applies geometric principles to design. Think sleek blonde wood paneling and pillows of all sizes splashed with reds and greens outfitting hotel beds. Rooms also feature mood lighting, comfortable desks with high-speed Internet access (fees apply), air conditioning, mini-fridge and understated bathrooms.
The hotel features a gym and indoor heated rooftop pool for everyone's fitness and entertainment needs.
The sustainable Four Elements Restaurant serves breakfast and attracts a theater crowd for dinner. Items like Hunter Gold grain-fed scotch fillet please sophisticated palates. The breakfast buffet is an enormous spread and kids under 15 eat free. The bar serves light lunches, snacks and loose-leaf tea and coffee.
The hotel offers room service and has a car rental agency onsite, plus parking (fees apply) and Internet access (fees apply).
Customers who viewed Mercure Sydney also booked these hotels.
Rates quoted in currencies other than the hotel's base currency are subject to the rate of the international exchange. Rate may change throughout stay. Rate may reflect average nightly rate. Extra charges may apply. Incidental charges, such as room service, are not included in the rate.
The amenities and/or facilities may not be located at the hotel, but within a reasonable distance, and additional charges may apply for use.

Beautiful pool views
Mercure Sydney was a special hotel not because of the location, which is alright but not stellar, and certainly not because of ease of access (it took 3 times around the block to finally find the entrance to the hotel). The room was average,
though it could have been cleaner. The bed was comfortable and it's always nice to have a fridge and real glasses as well as tea/coffee maker in the room. The pool and exercise area are fantastic, if only for the views. The area is on top of the hotel, completely enclosed with big window and, especially the viewing area around the end of the pool, was not too brightly lit allowing for wonderful night (and day) views of the city. Always a nice touch in any hotel :) The fact that the area is open 24 hours is an additional plus!
Just a quick note, dining possibilities nearby drop dramatically after 7pm. We were stuck eating fast food as most of the other restaurants were closed. However, for those willing to walk a bit further the possibilities are seemingly endless.
This hotel was great, for me. There were some problems that might bother others, though. Notably, the bathroom towels did not seem to be collected daily, and services that are usually complementary were charged to my room: breakfast and internet

I have seen that some of the test guys have been receiving a dozen of the new balls for 2013. It seems they are being sent 6x Pro V1 and 6x Pro V1x.Any idea if this will be happening for the European guys that tested the balls and gave feedback?
Hi Neil,
Thanks for replying, really appreciate it.
My profile has recently been updated as I have pre-ordered a 913F.d and 913H. Cannot wait to get my hands on them, can you confirm when they will definitely be coming to retail or when pre-orders are likely to be shipped?
I have played a Pro V1 since I started playing golf and I really like the sound of the new Pro V1x after reading some feedback on them. I would love to be part of the sampling for these and I will keep my fingers crossed that I might be included.
When do you think the new balls will be available to purchase? I have heard rumours that it will be 8th Feb.
Hi Craig,
Glad to hear your profile is up to date!
The 913 fairways and hybrids will be at retail as of 8 February - custom orders could arrive maybe a day ahead of that, but best to work to 8 Feb.
Re: the new 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls will be at retail across Europe by 1 March.
Thanks Neil,
A little over 2 weeks to wait on the new cubs :-)
Thanks for letting me know when the new balls are going to be available, much appreciated.
All the best,
Any idea when sampling of the new balls will start?
Likely to be at the beginning of March - just after launch. Keep your eyes on Team Titleist.
With launch being this Friday, when are the sample balls likely to ship?
I am excited to try these out and hoping that I will be selected to do so.
Likely to be next week, but more details will go up on Team Titleist soon.
NeilJ, Team Titleist Manager
Hi Craig,
Likely to be next week, but more details will go up on Team Titleist soon.
Any update on this?
It has been almost 3 weeks since the balls have launched. Are there any samples going to be sent out? The season is fast approoaching.

The result of the survey are nothing new to people interested in open source software: it has never been about a socialist system replacing the capitalist one, only about a better way to produce software. Many companies make a good business using and producing open source software, and have engineers working and contributing open source software: it is about predictability and continuous access to the tools necessary to your main business. The readers of The Economist deserve a better coverage of the topic.
As the author states, one of the most useful sections of the book concerns the original research of actual users of software and their very real experiences. This is most telling and is the essence of 'the Takeaway' in that no one model fits all. For too long there has been an almost religious fervor against companies that spend millions in research, but without any factual support from the field. In a market economy investment needs a return, whether this comes from licensing, advertising or post sale support, Open Source Software supports the latter two models very well, as demonstrated by Google and Red Hat. There is no free lunch. This book balances that debate and shows why governments should have a hands off policy to drive innovation. Anyone ever buy any decent software from the Soviet Union?
The author states,
"All this sounds reasonable, but these recommendations also point to the book's weakness. Having dissected open source in detail and told governments at length what not to do, the authors' prescriptions remain rather vague. "There is no right answer," they say in the final chapter, amusingly called "The Takeaways".
This is a non sequiter. Some of us view this as a strength. The idea that there needs to be specific "prescriptions" for something in order for the government to leave things alone is very telling on The Economist's author and editors. "There is no right answer" IS the takeaway to many discussions about technology, commerce, and politics. The idea that every thoughtful book on such a topic must have specific, governmental or government-like, prescriptions as takeaways is absurd.
To some extent, open source itself could be a hype. Although it cannot be denied that open source development improves software quality it is also true that quality is not always what industry is looking for.
Firefox is a classic example of superiority over something like IE. Unfortunately though, a significant part of the IT industry is operational in nature, so the management of resources and up-time of provided services is rewarded much more than quality of the software being used. Anyone who needs an "IT department" in their firm usually wants things to be just "working" at all times without requiring a lot of costs. Keeping proprietary software running for decades is optimal both in terms of complexity and cost.
That is and would continue to be a big hurdle for open source to overcome. Things won't change unless open-source philosophy (or rather transparency ) is embraced in other sectors (esp Law and business) so that things are less often opaque and more often - open to discuss and ready to be improved. This transformation however is not something open-source by itself can bring.
Promoting open standards isn't just about letting open source compete with proprietary software; it's also about setting an environment where proprietary software companies compete against each other. When your infrastructure is built on proprietary technology, the problem isn't just that it's difficult to integrate with open source. Software from different commercial vendors often doesn't integrate at all. Much of the glue code that binds these systems together is, in fact, based on open source to get around these limitations.
open source will probably go the same way BBSing did in the eighties.
sys-ops did away with file sponges by charging; % upload new material, pay for beggerwear, register for support, etc.
convergence types re-branded and repackaged, creaming off profits.
US senators spam-flooded forums with porn to buffalo regs thru.
then in 95, the web went mainstream, supported by porn, spam and ads.
aids, adds and ads. (the AAA)
so.. open source?
freedom is the answer. All the basement inventors will prevail.
(with all the integrity and honesty biz usually offers)
Control is the solution. Gov'ts, being cannibalistic in nature, (by design) will free lynch anything interesting.
The more intelligent of the nation states will open up different territories for explorers.
the illiterate will censor them out of existence.
The arguments in favour of open source software are a bit like the arguments to support free trade. Open source software promotes the rapid exchange of ideas and engineering paradigms, where commercial software imposes prohibitive barriers, and higher costs.
As a hypothetical thought experiment consider to companies X and Y, who are each building large enterprise scale applications that do not compete with each other, but have very similar internal architectures. Both applications require an object-relational mapping framework and a distributed transaction manager.
If company X has engineers with expertise in object-ralational mapping but insufficient knowledge of transaction managers, they will either have to purchase a transaction manager or go headhunting for talent. If company Y has engineers who are experts on transaction management, but have flakey knowledge of object-relational mapping thy will have to do the same.
If company X and Y agree to share their parts of their code (X's ORM and Y's transaction manager) they will not have to purchase proprietary software nor fish for new talent. In nutshell they will both achieve their business goals at a fraction of the cost!! Therein lies the case for open source software.
The costs associated with open-source lie mostly in climbing the learning curve, i.e. they are a training investment. If you only deploy one instance, they may not be recouped entirely, but as more and more instances get added, the cost of the open-source solution remains constant, the cost of commercial products is usually linear with usage, with meagre volume discounts at best.
Another key advantage of open-source software is that you do not have to buy support from the same vendor as the software. This lack of lock-in would be welcome to enterprises who have experienced the unpleasant surprise of Oracle maintenance contract price hikes.

Having used both sites for about two weeks, there is still a great deal I am learning to do with both Ulitzer and Ning, but a reader asked if I would do a quick comparison, so I will.
The obvious point for me is that the sites have two different objectives for the writers. For Ning, the writer is trying to be involved in a niche social network from scratch. For example, I have built my own social network for marketers and salespeople called BuyerSteps. I created BuyerSteps as a way for other professionals to join in a conversation around the 21st century buyer. So, Ning represents a way to build a community.
In the case of Ulitzer, as a writer I am focused on getting readers from within an existing audience. There are already thousands of readers coming to the Ulitzer site, so if they are interested in my topics such as marketing, they will find my articles as well as others. Ulitzer allows the writer the ability to set up a feed coming from another site, so it can be a write once, publish twice strategy. You just have to give Ulitzer a couple of hours to upload a new article you wrote on a different site.
Ning allows you to very easily construct the framework for a community for free with Lego-like ease of use. You can easily blog, post presentations, videos, photos, invite friends, contribute to forums and manage your experience. As the website's administrator, you can restrict certain people who don't fit your profile and set it up so that you must approve all blog posts. What amazes me the most is how easy it is to add videos and additional boxes for almost any kind of content. The site is very web-smart from an application standpoint.
What I have also done is added a widget from Twitter and LinkedIn's Question and Answer section. In a very short period of time, you can have a robust set of capabilities up and running for all of your members.
Using premium services that are offered, Ning allows you to turn off Adwords for $24.95 a month as well as rename the site to whatever URL you want for $4.95 a month which I do. The website administrator can also remove the Ning promotion link for $24.95 a month. Until you have thousands of users, there is little financial reason to spend another $50 a month to turn off Adwords and the Ning promotion link.
Ning also makes it easy for you to have Google Analytics track your website. Ning has over 150 applications that the user can add to their experience with the largest group being games.
You can also define your user profile questions and modify the site's appearance. As a community tool, there's not much to complain about on Ning except that the administrator needs to work at building their own audience. Just like Twitter, unless the community builder already has a large following and presence from an outside source, it will take patience and discipline to get your thoughts in front of a lot of people.
According to Quantcast, 7.5 million users a month go to Ning which certainly speaks to the needs of the long tail of community. Any small business or affinity group that wants to build a community site without spending a large amount of time or money can be using the Ning platform for free in less than an hour.
This is a terrific site for tapping into existing readers. Ulitzer doesn't force me to drive users to the site since the core value of the site is that many authors are contributing. The core value of the site is not to build a social network, but to provide pithy content to an information-hungry audience which at this point seems pretty technology-based. In just over ten days, I had thousands of readers of my articles mainly on marketing and sales. It would be nearly impossible to get that at Ning in ten days for a new community site.
The site's functionality is solid for a writer in regard to posting an article and then choosing which topics it should go under. It seems the biggest challenge for Ulitzer will be how they handle editorial control. If I am the editor of a topic, it's not clear to me that I control the editorial content. When I go to some of the topics, I know there are stories that fit under the topic better than what I am seeing, but I'm not sure what to do about that.
In the management panel of the experience for the writer, I can edit my story and view my story prior to it being posted. From a pure housekeeping standpoint, I hope they add the ability to delete my story from the management console at some point. Ulitzer doesn't publish the story unless I submit it, but I would still like to take it off of the console. Facts change and it would be great to kill a story if the writer could. For instance, I started one story and decided not to publish it because I changed my mind. That story is still sitting in the management console because I can't delete it.
What I really like about Ulitzer are the internal analytics. I can see which of my articles is getting the most views. Not only does it make me feel good when I see the number, it allows me to do research my own articles in regard to what the readers like. This helps guide the writer for future articles which is good insight.
I think the author description area is feature-rich. It makes it easy for the author to describe themselves, add a bio and choose tags for their stories. You can also pick your favorite topics and submit your stories to those topics to help readers find them. Finally, you can add your Google Adsense number if you want to make Adsense revenue, but I find this business proposition less than compelling.
If one of your goals is to get found through the search engines, it appears Ulitzer has a better case than Ning based on my limited analysis. When I searched for a few of my articles using a few words out of the title, it was Ulitzer and its group of publications that presented the same articles I had placed on Ning. So if exposure and the ability to be found is important to you, Ulitzer seems to be the superior site.
Ulitzer is early in its growing usage and doesn't see anywhere near the overall traffic that Ning does. However, if you have just decided to start writing and are looking to grow as a writer while Ulitzer's audience does, this looks to be a good place to post your articles. It should be pointed out that writing on Ulitzer is free once you are approved. I think Ulitzer is on to something and as a contributing writer, I hope it can continue to grow.
My bottom line
Use both. If you are a member of a social network on Ning and like to write, using Ulitzer too allows you to participate in your social network while enjoying the existing audience from Ulitzer. Don't pit one against the other, but use both in your social media strategy. That's smart 21st century awareness for you and your organization.

But I guess subconsciously, I was creating an outward projection of how I feel about a very passionate issue with which I am currently faced…

I would like to see many more sets with this very beautyful girl.
She has got to be related to Norma A
OMG! How did I miss Adel's 4 sets last year?
Talk about the perfect body, well she has got it all.
And so damn sexy for such a young babe.
Ok , I see your fantasy with the jungle girl . However what is Met-Art ? It is the elite , it is class , elegance . I would like to offer a few definitions of Elegance 1. The quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner; style."a slender woman with grace and elegance"
2.The quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple; neatness.
"the simplicity and elegance of the solution"
Adel C is a beautiful woman who just needs to go to a salon and get her hair done .
Her hair looks GREAT!
This girl is stunning, and reminds me of the gorgeous Norma A (as she is credited here). Met-Art really NEEDS to get many sets and movies of these two beauties together. They are like sisters separated at birth.
Hope there are may more sets and some movies of this beautiful girl still to come.
Just realized ... she has Norma J (Norma Joel) like hair which absolutely adds to the interest in the set.
Absolutely breathtaking girl!! I'm hoping for a long and prolific career for Adel. I fear I may spend a lot of $$$ looking for every image of her I can find!!
Really, really wonderful small breasts and a great body. Love the long, dark tresses. An immediate favorite who should appear more often.
an amazing beautiful chick, thank you for the debut, i know ADEL will be an instant success at METART. This teengirl has already appeared in others soft-core webbs, conquering the hearts and minds of helpless members. She looks inocent-like but her eyes and face are so enticing that is almost impossible to take her away from your mind. I bet a lot of sleepless nights for a lot of METART members. me too. Please more of her soon!!!!!!
I see someone else is as taken with this beauty as I am!

Emmalee Bullard and her new baby are on their own. Or so she thinks, until Leona Lane, the older seamstress who sat by her side at the local shirt factory where both women worked as collar makers, insists Emmalee come and live with her. Just as Emmalee prepares to escape her hardscrabble life in Red Chert holler, Leona dies tragically. Grief-stricken, Emmalee decides she'll make Leona's burying dress, but there are plenty of people who don't think the unmarried Emmalee should design a dress for a Christian woman – or care for a child on her own. But with every stitch, Emmalee struggles to do what is right for her daughter and to honor Leona the best way she can, finding unlikely support among an indomitable group of seamstresses and the town's funeral director. In a moving tale exploring Southern spirit and camaraderie among working women, a young mother will compel a town to become a community.
