Windows Media Player??
I have IE 7 and I HATE windows media player. It is so screwed up and I do not know how to fix it. There is "stuff" on there you can NOT delete,etc. Is there anything else out there that I can download that is easy and shows all my "stuff"? Thanks, pk
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.videolan.org/
VLC used to hiccup at the start of every FLAC file I played. In both the Linux version and the Windows version on different machines. Several updates and it eventually got fixed but until then I used Media Player Classic.
Or just for audio, Foobar:
Windows Media Player pretended not to even know the FLAC codec existed so I never had use for it.
VLC amazed me by playing RAR'd up DVD(VOB) movies before they even finished downloading. Public Domain movies of course.
The only thing you may want to watch if you install VLC is that they may try to slip in some useless(to me) toolbar, change your search engine or whatever. Just uncheck the box unless you want it.
Actually, I had forgotten MPC until I started writing this so I installed it. To its credit, it didn't try to slip anything else into the install, which I like.

I'm moving my ant build to a new Jenkins server. It can access SVN, compile and all that. Everything is great until it starts running unit tests. A few of the tests need access to a database to be able to execute.
I've logged into the server that Jenkins runs from, and by using telnet on the database port, I can tell that the path is open. (The IT guys also say the path is open). I know it's a database issue because I can reproduce the issue locally when I mess up the config file so the build cannot find the database.
My problem is this. I really need Jenkins to tell me why it can't connect to the database. I have not been able to figure out how to do this. The console output simply shows it trying the test forever. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Why I love my job !
At ForgeRock, I have multiple reasons to enjoy what I do. I have the responsibility for two products: OpenDJ, the LDAP directory services and OpenIG the Identity Gateway, and I also manages the French subsidiary. But what really gets me excited in the morning is that I get to work with very smart and passionate people!
Jean-Noël, one of the engineers of the OpenDJ development team, has a passion for beautiful code and he loves refactoring, cleaning existing code. On his personal time, he started to automate his process in Eclipse, and then turn it into an Eclipse plugin, and finally made the code available as an open source project: AutoRefactor. Now, in the office, most of the engineers using Eclipse are also using the AutoRefactor plugin.
So when Jean-Noël got to present his work at our local Java User Group (the AlpesJUG), the rest of the team went along and supported him. As one of the other engineers has a passion for photography (which I share), it gives this amazing picture gallery and set of souvenirs for everyone:
PS: It also helps that we are working in a great environment where we can afford to do this⬇ (sometime to time) during our lunch break!
About auditing LDAP operations…
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 24 February 2015
Many years ago, when I've started working on LDAP directory services, we needed to have some auditing of the operations occurring on the server. So, the server had a "Access" log which contained a message when an operation was received, and one when it was returned to the client, which included the processing time on the server side (the etime parameter). On Netscape and Sun directory servers, the etime was measured in seconds. This format allowed us to detect requests that were taking a long time, or were started but not finished.
In OpenDJ, we switched the etime resolution to milliseconds, but there's an option to set it to nano-seconds. Yet, with millisecond resolution, there are still a number of log entries with an etime value of 0. The truth is that the server is faster, but so are the machines and processors.
At a rate of 50 000 operations per seconds (which can easily be sustained on my laptop), having two messages per operation does generate a lot of data to write to disk. That's why we have introduced a new audit log format, not well advertised I must say, in OpenDJ 2.6.0. To enable the new format, use the following dsconfig command:
dsconfig set-log-publisher-prop -h localhost -p 4444 -X -n \ -D "cn=directory manager" -w password \ --publisher-name File-Based\ Access\ Logger --set log-format:combined
And now instead of having 2 lines per operations, there is a single one.
[23/Feb/2015:08:56:31 +0100] SEARCH REQ conn=0 op=4 msgID=5 base="cn=File-Based Access Logger,cn=Loggers,cn=config" scope=baseObject filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="1.1" [23/Feb/2015:08:56:31 +0100] SEARCH RES conn=0 op=4 msgID=5 result=0 nentries=1 etime=0 [23/Feb/2015:08:56:31 +0100] SEARCH REQ conn=0 op=5 msgID=6 base="cn=File-Based Access Logger,cn=Loggers,cn=config" scope=baseObject filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="objectclass" [23/Feb/2015:08:56:31 +0100] SEARCH RES conn=0 op=5 msgID=6 result=0 nentries=1 etime=0
After, in combined mode:
[23/Feb/2015:13:00:28 +0100] SEARCH conn=48 op=8215 msgID=8216 base="dc=example,dc=com" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(uid=user.1)" attrs="ALL" result=0 nentries=1 etime=0 [23/Feb/2015:13:00:28 +0100] SEARCH conn=60 op=10096 msgID=10097 base="dc=example,dc=com" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(uid=user.6)" attrs="ALL" result=0 nentries=1 etime=0
The benefits of enabling the combined log format are multiple. Less data is written to disk for each operation, less I/O operations are involved, resulting in overall better throughput for the server. And it allows to keep more history of operations with the same volume of log files.
Do you think that OpenDJ 3.0 access log files should use the combined format by default ?

OpenDJ on Windows…
Posted by Ludo in Directory Services on 30 January 2015
OpenDJ, the LDAP directory services in Java, is supported on multiple platforms and has been for many years. We're testing on Linux, Windows, Solaris, Mac OS X, but also different JVMs: Oracle JRE, OpenJDK, Azul Zulu, IBM JVM…
With OpenDJ 2.6, we've made it easier for people to install it on Linux machines by providing RPM and Debian packages.
We are now also providing a MSI package to ease the installation and removal on Windows machines. The MSI package is available for nightly builds here.
A fresh look for the OpenDJ and OpenIG snapshot documentation…
Thanks to Chris Lee, the most recent technical writer at ForgeRock, there is now a new visual design for the snapshot documentation for our open source projects.
Check it out on the OpenDJ Administration Guide, the OpenDJ SDK Developer's Guide, the OpenIDM Integrator's Guide or the Guide to OpenIG…
Happy New Year 2015!
The new year is well engaged, but it's still time for me to give you my best wishes for 2015…
May this new year bring you (more) love, happiness, success… And a peaceful journey towards your personal or professional goals !

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Can't see a thing: Darkness fixes lazy eye in kittens, potential therapy for kids?
TORONTO - Children with a lazy eye are often "patched" — their good eye is covered for a period of time, forcing the so-called bad eye to work harder, thereby improving its visual acuity.
But what if a lazy eye — or rather, the part of the brain responsible for interpreting vision in that eye — could be reprogrammed with the flip of a light switch?
In effect, that's what researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax have done, restoring normal sight to kittens with an induced lazy eye by keeping them in the dark for a period of time.
The research, published Thursday in the journal Current Biology, is based on the theory that darkness can cause some parts of the visual system to revert to an early stage in development, when there is greater flexibility.
"The idea is that the brain early on is very plastic," said Kevin Duffy, a neurobiologist and lead author of the study.
"Immersion in total darkness seems to reset the visual brain to enable remarkable recovery."
A lazy eye is unable to see details in sharp focus. Known formally as amblyopia, the condition is the most common cause of vision problems in children, affecting about four per cent of the population. A number of conditions can lead to a child developing a lazy eye, including a congenital cataract or having misaligned eyes (being cross-eyed).
Amblyopia occurs when the nerve pathway between the eye and brain doesn't develop properly during childhood, usually because the eye sends a blurred image to the brain. The brain then learns to see only blurry images from that eye, even when glasses are used.
Left untreated, the imbalance in what the two eyes see can lead to permanent vision loss.
To conduct the research, Duffy and senior researcher Donald Mitchell induced amblyopia in seven kittens by closing the lid of one of their eyes for a week.
Three of the kittens were then immediately put in a totally dark room for 10 days, along with their mother and litter mates. The cats were monitored by infrared camera; lab workers fed, cleaned and checked on them multiple times throughout each day. A radio was also played for periods during each 24-hour period, providing stimulus that approximated the day-night cycle.
Duffy describes the dark room facility in the lab as "a dark room inside a dark room, inside of another dark room. So when we say dark, we mean dark — zero photons of light. So it's not like closing your curtains at night with the street lamp on."
After the kittens were removed from the darkened room, "the vision of both eyes improved slowly but in lockstep and eventually reached normal visual acuity, in about 70 days," he said.
"The amazing part of this particular study is that amblyopia doesn't develop (in the good eye). So you end up getting recovery of vision in both eyes up to normal levels."
The researchers then exposed the remaining four kittens to darkness for 10 days, but waited five to eight weeks after the animals had their lazy eye induced. They wanted to see if there was a difference with slightly older kittens, whose brains might have been less plastic at that point.
The results were "astonishing," said Duffy.
"When you put those animals in the dark for 10 days, when they come out, they recover — that is, their deprived (lazy) eye recovers to normal acuity levels within a week," Duffy said.
"And the curious result here is that firstly when the animal's older, the darkness doesn't reduce the visual acuity of the non-deprived eye as it did in the younger animals, which is very good because you don't want to compromise the vision of (that) eye.
"The second, probably more astonishing result is the acuity of the amblyopic eye completely recovered within one week."
So ... that's good for kittens. But what about kids?
Having a parent stay in total darkness with their child for more than a week hardly seems practical.
While Duffy agrees, he said if his son had a lazy eye — and his vision would be affected for life — he wouldn't discount the idea to prevent lifelong vision problems. Even though patching can restore visual acuity in a lazy eye, it usually leaves children with a depth-perception deficit.
"So they would have great difficulty, for instance, threading a needle, presumably hitting a baseball," he said. "Even with patching, vision isn't normal."
Still, Duffy said much more research needs to be done before a darkness therapy could translated for use in children.
Researchers, he said, have a lot of questions to answer: "How long does the darkness have to be to produce a beneficial effect? So could eight days work, rather than 10? Does the darkness have to be absolute? So is it possible you could take somebody out of the dark for half an hour a day?
"Is it possible that blindfolding might be just as effective as dark rooming?" he said. And at what age should a child have such a therapy?
One thing Duffy stressed is that parents who have a child with a lazy eye should not try this experimental procedure at home.
"The first thing is to try to understand this better in research animals, then try to translate that to the human condition."

Monster building will cause too much traffic
Original post made by Too much traffic, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Oct 31, 2007
Web Link
Won't it create too much traffic?
Isn't the old building considered to be historic?
And if JJ&F should close the poor residents of College Terrace will only have tow other grocery stores in the area to walk to.

The traffic will always be with us. In fact, this may generate less traffic or less longer trips for local residents. We need more retail and less trips to Mountain View, Menlo Park, or wherever to spend our money.
ps Grocery stores are rarely places we walk to as groceries tend to be too heavy to carry. Ever tried carrying a gallon of milk half a mile?

Too much traffic, you are paranoid about "too much traffic". Traffic brings retail customers to Palo Alto which is what we want. This is a great development and a definite improvement on what is there now. Come on guys lets move forward into the 21st Century, quit complaining about the traffic.

Courtly intrigue leads to a confrontation with a mysterious elven order called the Winter Council, deep in the demon-haunted shadows of the legendary forest known as the Tanglebriar. Yet one final tragic and horrific secret awaits them as they discover the true source of the dark elves' curse.
This volume of Pathfinder also features an exploration of the faith of Calistria (goddess of lust, revenge, and trickery), a gazetteer of the elven nation of Kyonin and demon-haunted Tanglebriar, a bonus adventure detailing the lair of a powerful demon, and several new monsters that lurk in this dangerous realm.
For characters of 12th to 14th level.

Re-Porcelain (NOT re-enamel) a Kitchen Sink
We have a huge, unique kitchen sink in a 1920's cottage we are restoring. The sink is in pretty bad shape. We have looked and thus far found no replacement like it, and are thinking of having it re-porcelained (actually sandblasted and re-fired, not the re-enamel process).
Does anyone have experience with this? Can anyone recommend someone, preferably in N.California, but anywhere who can do this? And anyone have any idea what it would cost for a 42x22x8 double sink?
I'd like to add another question-- if anyone knows of such a place in Northern Illinois pls. post the info here... I remember reading about it a couple yrs ago but of course now that I need the info I can't find it!
As you say, its an actual firing process and not the usual epoxy-based paint method most refinishers use. I remember the cost was more than the usual refinishing... but not as much as a new Kohler reproduction sink or tub (which can be 1 or 2 thousand bucks). I think it would be well worth the cost bc you know it'll last forever.
I've asked plumbers in our area, no one had any idea (we actually live in an area w/few older homes, so this issue likely doesn't come up much). And thanks for the idea to call arch. salvage yards. There are some good ones in the SF Bay Area - great idea! But if anyone hears of a company that does re-porcelain work, I'd still love to hear about it!
I wonder if this is where you read it. The bulk of the article is about refinishing, but scroll to the end where it says "Good As New" where it mentions a company in Illinois that actually re-fires the tubs and sinks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Re-Porcelain-ing
Here is the link for the company, let us know if you find out some costs!
Here is a link that might be useful: Custom Ceramic
You might try asking these folks. They re-porcelain antique stoves, which is probably a similar process. They might have some suggestions for you. They're in California.

Personally, I don't see any problems if China doesn't join the agreement. So far, China has been one of the most mercantilist nations in the world, and this agreement will take away their economic imperialist powers. If the agreement is successful, it would eventually push China to accept an international agreement like the Doha agenda. Europe, however, is the one we should be worried about. If they are not included, they will find ways to stop this peaceful trade agreement.
If everything goes as planned this trade agreement could become one of the most successful, and certainly fasted growing trade agreements. Maybe other nations will join in on the agreement if everything goes well.
While it may be exciting news to some, one should not be overly premature and jump the gun to false start.
Firstly, it may takes years before workable agreement can be reached once the negotiations become real and participants consider offers and counter-offers and the uncertainties of benefits from them and potential losses coming from them.
Secondly, while Japan would add considerable weight to the importance to the block, it remains to be seen how seriously the Japanese are prepared to make a deal that is acceptable to them.
Thirdly the economic integration in East Asia is much more singificant than the proposed free trade block to many East Asian economies and this will be increasingly so. Given China is the largest East Asian economy that is not in the block, many participants are likely to be caught by competing priorities.
Fourthly, participants and potential participant are likely to weigh the benefits of a nominal free trade block that is likely to remain political in name only and with little real economic benefits to offer, and wake up to the reality.
Mr Lincoln
First off, the "workable agreement" you speak of has been under negotiation since the start of 2010. There have been 9 rounds and the 10th will take place next month. The aim is to conclude during 2012 - this contrast with the never ending and much longer horizon on other trading blocks such as APECs.
Secondly, if Japan are not idling to accept a deal, then they don't have to. The TPP doesn't hinge on their inclusion. It would be good for all involved. But considering the number of bilateral and multilateral FTA happening in Asia, it risks being left behind. This might, just might, be enough to push them to accept this. Also don't doubt the fear that Chinese economic dominance is having on the Japanese at the moment.
Thirdly, China may indeed be the largest economy in EAST ASIA - but it is not the only economy and is not the largest in the Pacific. The depth and degree of coverage by the TPP blows any Chinese FTA out of the water. This is why it is unacceptable to China and China will not join any time soon. The fact that so many countries that consider China their largest trading partner have joined in with the TPP shows that economic dominance does not constrain a country in seeking out its best interests.
China is not being constrained in signing agreements with any other country (including those in the TPP) but none of those agreements will go as far as the TPP and that is what is so special about it.
As to your fourth point, that is nothing but a cheap throwaway line based on no real analysis or evidence. You have clearly showed that you no nothing about the TPP other than what you have read on TE (like many on here this week). The only reality that you need to wake up to is that the TPP is much bigger and more important than you realise.
It will be an improvement on what currently exists and there will be a step ahead of those not participating.
It's empty rhetoric. Real free trade is in a freefall because the economies aren't growing and most OECD countries have taken (INEFFECTIVE) unilateral actions to deal with their own crises. When the US bailed out banks, private equity (such as the interests that owned Chrysler), car companies, etc. etc. none of it had anything to do with free trade. One irony being that the US, IMF and WB would have lined up a decade ago to excoriate and isolate any developed country that undertook such measures.
Free trade is a sick joke. The US simply wants to keep asserting military dominance in Asia and wants to get the exporting countries there to pay for it (at least by buying its American dollar bonds).
I found this more detailed examination of American and Japanese interest in TPP very interesting and useful, and hit the recommend button.
I think the US will have a tough time because I suspect a strain of protectionism could crop up due to the weak economy.
Now I am wondering about the point on Obama resisting the unions: Obama continued the auto bail out and helped them (the unions)considerably there, they should probably be thankful for their jobs now, and they have to compete with domestically produced vehicles any ways.
To be honest I haven't heard of any positions or campaigns from the unions - yet - just a sense that people may not have an appetite for free trade agreements in the general populace.
Otherwise, would have liked to see some poll data on Japanese attitudes towards TPP. I suspect they may be soft.
As for rice, well Japan imports alot of food now as I recall from shopping in the grocery stores, and they may have to do some more in the future due to a key agricultural area - Fukushima - being placed in doubt.
Otherwise, for the long term the farmer population is literally aging away (so maybe negotiate some long term liberalization programs?)...lots of depopulation is impending for the rural areas.
Otherwise, I am sorry about this - "everything except labour is on the table."
At least with the original TPP countries, Canada, Australia and Japan, it would be nice to be able to easily move between locals for work/living. I am actually considering retiring in Japan's countryside in the far future with my wife (who is Japanese).
Michael Dunne
I agree with you on many of the points. You are right that during economic problems, the chances of protectionism is higher than usual. That is what is so amazing with the current prominence of the TPP - perhaps we will be a little luckier. But I still don't doubt that the TPP will be far from perfect.
However it is better than what exists now - ongoing APEC and Doha Round negotiations going nowhere.
I also think it would be in everyone's interest to slowly open up the Japanese farming market. As you rightly note, the average Japanese farmer is literally ageing away. I could live with a 20 year liberalisation period as economically this is a blink of the eye.
And last but not least, free movement. I know this is going to far, but I would like the ability perhaps for individual countries to perhaps liberalise this within TPP.
Australia and New Zealand already have this. I don't see any great economic or cultural problem if Australia and Singapore did the same. Perhaps even Australia and Chile too. And I have never understood why the US would be fearful of opening up free movement to 28 million Aussies and Kiwis. I see little difference in Canada and Australia etc etc.
We can hope though. For those countries that have major income disparities there can be a cap put in place. Who knows? 10,000 Vietnamese heading to Oz every year to work and prosper and 10,000 Aussies heading to Vietnam to work or retire - spending their pension and superannuation in rural towns in Vietnam or even Japan like you hope to.
You wrote: "the average Japanese farmer is literally ageing away. I could live with a 20 year liberalisation period as economically this is a blink of the eye"
I am not so sure about that. First, the Japanese farm lobby is politically very influencial and will find ways to undermine any politicians who disrupts traditional Japanese domestic social relations. The 'aging away' is a continuos process that never ends with the lower rank retirees from the likes of Mitsui, Hitachi or Toyota returning to their ancestors' rural way of life.
Second, the Japanese economic elite is all too aware about their vulnerability as an island nation with unique deep rooted traditions to accept a significant degree of food import dependence. The rice lobby, the fish lobby, the beef lobby, etc. are not some local barons protecting their markets. They, and others like them, see themselves as protecting Japan's identity and national "purity". This is a major barrier to any concept of 'free movement' of people, - you may as well forget about anything like 10,000 Vietnamese or 10,000 Indonesians settling in Japan. The Japanese 'segregation' policies towards the Korean minority serves as an example. Land constrainst have been and will remain a serious barrier to 'domestic' mobility of the Japanese.
Third, the Japanese have long ago established a wide ranging network of off-shore subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises all over the Pacific (in Middle east and in Europe) that in many cases represents a core of industrial and trade activity in less economically advanced foreign countries or regions. The Japanese trading conglomerates, the networks of Mitsui, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, etc., influence and control huge volumes of trade flows accross many state boundaries and will continue to do so under any new trade framework. Their influence is not readily replaceable by other Pacific nations, including the US conglomerates.
I am in total agreement on all those points.
The farm lobby is exceedingly powerful and not going to disappear. However, with an expected population drop of about 10 million in the next 20 years together with increased ageing and a much smaller workforce, the fact is that the number of farmers will fall no matter what. The problem is that the farm lobby inhibit more efficient farming themselves. Opening up this sector to competitions may actually lead to an increase in efficiencies and output, potentially reversing some of the negativities of opening up.
With a population potentially trending down to ~55 million by 2100, Japan will face some major structural changes.
However, the free movement of labour was not something I envisaged for Japan. Like the Schengen Agreement lives outside the EU treaties, I am hoping for something the same. Individual countries will either do bilateral agreements or a multi-lateral agreement that is not binding on all.
I agree that the farm lobby inhibits more efficient rice farming, beef and poultry farming, just as traditional house construction methods inhibit more efficient and cheaper housing, and just as traditional distribution systems inhibit efficiency in wholesale and retail trade. I could go on quoting other 'inefficiencies' rooted in the traditional Japanese lifestyles, in social customs, relationships in the workingplace, and just plainly in Japanese mentality. One needs to live among the Japanese, to see their ways of thinking and to gradually begin to understand them. I was fortunate to have had that opportunity.
As to your rather pessimistic forecast of the Japanese population decline, well, I have no way of knowing what may happen by the year 2100. Japan will continue to exist, but in what format ? What will replace the territory known today as Russian Siberia ? How far will India expand with its 1,200 million people - likely to be 1,500 million by the year 2050 ?
Its purely speculation on my part but I would not expect some of the presently 'powerful' states to survive that long, - just as the most powerful 19th century European empires have remained only as part of the history of European civilisation.
What about the angle of durability ?
The «efficient» agriculture and industry you refer to are also the most destructive to the environment, thus being less «efficent» on the long run.
TPP's a good thing. Yet why this false contextualization of it as distinct from / opposite to "the trans-Atlantic economy"? The core of TPP is the Pacific wing of OECD -- US, Japan, S Korea, ANZ, Canada. OECD is the actual core group, both trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific. Why show a chart of TPP on one side as 40% of world GDP, EU "only" 27%, when the real grouping is OECD with 68% of world GDP? It would be less illogical to contrast the Atlantic with a whopping more-than-50% of world GDP to the TPP minus America with "only" under 20%. Less illogical, because the Atlantic is the core, the TPP-Pacific an extension wing of the core.
But why treat the Atlantic and Pacific as opposite things at all, when in fact they've been a combined grouping for all their modern history? It goes back to the discovery of the Pacific as an extension of the discovery of the Atlantic; colonization of ANZ as extension of colonization of N. America; the alliances in WW I and II; the institutionalization of it all after 1945, with the Euro-Atlantic OEEC growing by organic evolution into the Atlantic-Pacific OECD. G7 and G8 also unite the two oceans. ANZ and Japan and S. Korea have always been quietly close to NATO.
Opposing "Pacific orientation" to "Atlantic orientation" is a bad game, one presently played not just by seekers after novelty, but more importantly, by people who are trying to tear down the Atlantic. There could be nothing more harmful to the actual TPP and OECD-Pacific grouping that than.
If Japan jumps on this trade agreement that would unite 2 of the 3 top economic nations o planet earth. This trade organization would definitely be very successful. With its success it may help the US economy and only bring good benefits. This innovated thinking is what Europe needs to come up with to help pull themselves out of debt. They need to take note that this trade agreement will leave them in the dust.

Paint or Stain Kitchen Cabinets... with Pics
I want to change the color of my kitchen cabinets. However, I'm unsure of whether or not I'd like to paint or stain them. I would prefer a darker color.
From what reading I've done on the subject, it seems that if the wood is of good quality, staining seems to be preferred. I'm not sure what type of wood the cabinets are made of. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether or not the wood in my kitchen is worth staining or would it be better to paint?
Read more: http://www.doityourself.com/forum/designing-kitchens-bathrooms/483842-paint-stain-kitchen-cabinets-pics.html#ixzz2EZwysaAP
While I can't tell you about your wood, I can tell you that chose staining because I liked seeing the grain of the wood. I preferred having some depth to the cabinets as opposed to a flat paint.
Of course, there's another option. Talk to some cabinet makers and have them come over and take measurements to give you some new wood. It would be a lot easier to stain, too, since you wouldn't have to do any stripping.
As I mentioned, I stained my cabinets using Old Masters Gel Stain. I'll never use anything else now. NO drips. My big regret was that I wanted to do a gray stain and I got sidetracked and forgot that when I went to the paint store. Of course, they didn't have any gray stain... and definitely not any gray Gel Stain. So, I picked the only color they had many containers of... walnut. Totally different direction now. But, not bad. Just had to take a breath and l like it now.
If you change out the cabinet doors then you get an option of changing the design of the cabinet fronts. So, keep that in mind, too.
Good luck. This is one of the hardest things I've ever done... having to make so many selections + doing the staining myself and then topped it with polyurethane. I guess it depends upon whether you have more time than money.
I'm willing to bet those doors are a veneer, but I could very easily be wrong.
I like the grain. I'd stain first, because although it's more work later, you can always paint.
You have the option to kind of play around a bit . Are the boxes in good condition? Only then would I consider down the line replacing the doors -- maybe. You might enjoy them so much stained or painted you won't want to!
I am making an assumption here, and that is that you'd like to update your kitchen's look a bit? If that is the case, I would suggest addressing your countertops and lighting before you dive into the cabinets. The cabinets are the most immediate impact, but if you go on later to change out the other two items, you might end up doing your cabs all over again.
Nice, though. Pretty grain.
Did you see the photo that I thought I had attached? I wasn't sure if it went through. Sorry I wasn't clear. My cabinets are new and good wood. So, staining was the best way to go. The cabinet builders thought I had intended to go with a grain stain than walnut. Wish I had now, but sometimes those decisions are made on the fly.
Yes, about the countertops and overhead lighting. They are on the list to be done and coming up next.
My guess is that your doors are a veneer, too.
It looks like you have a plywood door that could potentially be birch. To see if it is plywood check the edges and see if you see what looks like stripes.
Staining can be a lot of work, but so can paint and keeping it up too. Celticmoon has some good instructions for gel staining. For good paint advice in painting cabinets you could check the young house love blog. It can be hard to paint with a no brush stroke fininsh so if you go that route I'd practice first on the back of a door. Spraying can give nice results, but also takes practice.
One other thing to consider no matter what is if a build up of a finish will cause your doors to not close properly. Ie do you have a lip on the inside of the doors that make them fit in the opening with some overlay. Sometimes adding to the thickness of the current finish can cause this to not lay as flat as before.

This Menu Board by RobbyGurl's Creations is the EPITOME of organization. I promise you, I would love to be able to get all of my recipes printed out and organized like this. This would make my life SO much easier if I could plan my meals out by the month versus the week. Month Menu, Recipe Cards, Menu Boards, Menu Plans, Menu Planners, Robbygurl Creations, Meals Planners, Meals Plans, Menu Planning
I have made a monthly menu plan, but just never attached the recipe cards along with it. This I will have to try next!
Clever! A "Menu Board" that puts your menu planning together with your recipe cards. The family members to pick a recipe and plan a day, very cute and clever.. and in this one's case ... colorful! I like this too because with the recipe card immediately handy it would make for an ease to grab the recipe for the week and take it on the shopping trip. This is from RobbyGurl's Creations at www.robbygurlscreations.blogspot.com

Former Hooks starting pitcher David Martinez has been named the Topps Texas League Player of the Year, Minor League Baseball announced Monday.
Martinez, who was one of 14 Corpus Christi alums to make his big league debut in 2013, went 14-2 with a 2.02 ERA in 26 appearances and 18 starts for the Hooks.
The 26-year-old from Venezuela set the franchise single-season record for ERA, WHIP (1.00) and batting average against (.233).
Martinez struck out 86 against 20 walks in 129.1 innings while authoring two complete games.
The Texas League Pitcher of the Year paced the circuit in ERA, victories and WHIP, while placing third in opponents' batting average.
Martinez, who won his first nine decisions with Corpus Christi, suffered his first loss on June 15 at Frisco after yielding one run on three hits in five innings. He featured a 1.83 ERA in nine second-half outings leading up to a Triple-A promotion on August 8.
The right-hander made three starts for Oklahoma City before finishing the season in Houston's bullpen.

I mean, who else do you have to play flex? If I were to choose between Stew and Tolbert though, I'd go with Tolbert.
Posted 17 November 2013 - 10:42 AM
Boldin is in there now
would anyone put Boldin on the bench and start either Tolbert or Stewart in the flex?
I'm wanting to put stewart in there so bad right now but common sense says give it to Tolbert over Stewart and then neither of them over Boldin considering the split carries between all three backs.

You guys accuse women of being shallow and yet you are only worried about getting passed over by the "great looking gal"?
I'm very particular about looks, I adore certain features and dislike others that a different girl may deem as attractive. It all has to do with procreation, we instinctively and subconciously choose a mate that will result in favourable offspring. So what's good looking to me may not be to another girl. After a guy passes the test in the looks department then I'll look further and there better be a good, kind soul in there with very similar morals, values, principles and ethics to me or I won't even consider a relationship.
nice guys dont get the women because they generally tend to let the girl do what ever they want, wich gives the nice guys the illusion that if they do what the girl wants all the time, she will like him

this is completely the opposite

women need a chase/challenge and tension

not someone to stand on
cause we're broke
Every girl is shallow. They can't say they go just on personality because the attraction needs to be there. You aren't going to kiss someone who you find ugly are you? Maybe your going after girls who arent into guys like you. Dont give up your search though.
Looks are a very important part of attraction.

Non Skid
How can I make this stuff? I want to make my decks have this stuff first but I dont want to make it look like sand paper. I tried putting sugar(makes a mess) salt (looks like sandpaper) and some dirt(too big of bumps for my ship but looked ok) on top of some grey paint then painting over the above items.
Any other ideas on how to get the right texture?
I am working on a 1:90 scale ship the Zwarte Zee and I plan to make the areas that are supposed to be wood into the non skid stuff.
|Jul 16, 2006, 07:59 AM
Wit a scale that small seems like flat paint would work, but in any case for the textured non skid look use 500 or smaller grit sandpaper glued in place. If painting a different color, it's best to airbrush for grain that small will dissappear using a brush.
|Jul 16, 2006, 08:12 AM
yea I thought about glueing the paper down but i wanted to avoid going that rout. I thought about rubbing 400-500 grit paper together over the wet paint tho and see if that gets enough "dust" to get a good texture. Maybe I will try that tomorrow (on duty again cant get off the ship till then). Any other ideas?

In that scale, anything other than flat paint will look a little odd. What might be a little rise to your eye would actually be a major "bump" (inches-feet) in that scale. On larger scale models that I have built I use a spray on epoxy nonskid found at marine stores.

I use a product called Firm Foot. It is an epoxy spray with fine grit that I find is just right for models in this scale. It is produced by Forrest Paint Products located in Eugene Oregon and the phone number on the can is (541)342-1821 for further information or google Firm Foot. Jerry J

Wingnut, As a model railroader I know the size of the N scale ballast. I actually use the N scale stuff for my HO railroad cause it looks more like real ballast. Take an HO scale figure and put his feet up to the N scale stuff then the HO stuff and see what one looks like real ballast stones and what one looks like landscaping rocks . I have not seen any smaller ballast than Fine(N scale) in my catalogs or hobby stores. I was trying tho to do as you said put the stuff on the wet paint then apply the paint again but the stuff I was trying with did not work too well. I will keep trying

I used Plasti-Kote Fleck stone paint, her are some pics,
the Jim Wilder has it on the deck it's a gray, the Envoy has it below the water line it's a red. you can get it in several deferent colors.
It's not water proff but it is water resestant, I put Plasi-Kote clear water proff over it, it's still not water proff but it redries, it gets loose after about 1 1/2 hours in the water one the Envoy, haven't had a problem with the Jim Wilders decks. The barge deck is a brown, they spray can does not say what the color is, the cap has been painted so you can pick what you want. LOL

I found a way that was stated in my model slipway boat instructions thats you get a flat can of paint brush type that has been sitting on the self for awhile and DONT SHAKE OR STIR and pour off the thin paint on top and get to the settlements on the bottom and use a short stiff brush and stab straight down the paint to the surface dont stroke it stab at it only.
you will have to go over several times but this does look great.

Non-Skid markings
At the scale you're building, for non-skid parhway or to replicate the fuill-scale strips of black non-skid surface, masked-off flat black paint is what you want. The actual full-scale surface would be (at the thickest) 1/16" to 1/8", so trying to do that 90 times thinner, or looking at the real thing from 100 ft away, (eyeballing it in scale perspective) you would only see a flattened area, certainly no 'texture' or grit.
|Jul 17, 2006, 08:56 AM
I don't remember why I did this (it wasn't for non-skid walkways), but in order to get a gritty surface, I used white glue and sprinkled sand on it. Then you could probably paint that. (You'll probably want to use something better than white glue; it was forever dropping sand granules.)

The WTO And Trade In Services
Edited by Bernard Hoekman, European University Institute, Italy
Hardback £446.00 on-line price £401.40
Series: Critical Perspectives on the Global Trading System and the WTO series
The past few decades have witnessed a growth in the importance of services in the economy, yet until the 1980s, scholarly literature on the expanding role of trade in services in the world economy remained scarce. This timely two-volume collection, edited by a leading analyst in the field, brings together seminal works on the WTO and trade in services published in the last twenty-five years. Areas covered in this important set include the determinants and patterns of trade in services, services in regional integration agreements and the GATS. This book will be of immense value to scholars and practitioners interested in this evolving and increasingly relevant field of study.

But a major civil fraud suit against Bank of America and former CEO Kenneth Lewis remains pending from New York state, accusing them of failing to properly disclose the Merrill losses and bonuses before the acquisition closed. The suit was filed by former New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo in February 2010, and the current AG Eric Schneiderman is pursuing it. The bank has said the charges are unfounded.
Countrywide had spiraled into disaster as investors suddenly realized that many homeowners wouldn't be able to repay mortgages that required no proof of income or downpayment, and offered adjustable rates that made monthly payments unaffordable.
The Countrywide purchase in July 2008 made Bank of America a major player in the U.S. mortgage market. Regulators, meanwhile, portrayed Countrywide's huge size as the result of its executives single-minded pursuit of market dominance, even if it meant taking disastrous risks.
In the legal aftermath, Bank of America entered an $8.4 billion settlement with 12 states over Countrywide's lending practices. A class-action suit by former Countrywide shareholders cost the bank another $600 million. Bank of America has paid out more than $13 billion for investor claims related to mortgages.
Both acquisitions turned out to be "very troublesome" for Bank of America, said Bert Ely, a banking industry consultant based in Alexandria, Va. "They're still cleaning up the mess," Ely said, and likely will have to continue to deal with it for a few more years.
Bank of America's mortgage division hasn't turned an annual profit since 2007.
After years of gobbling up other companies, the bank has been shrinking, laying off employees and selling operations.
"The challenge is trying to right-size the company" and get its earnings up to snuff, Ely said. The bank "still is not a top-notch performer. It has got more work to do," he said.
Fitch Ratings said it views the settlement as "a positive step for (Bank of America) toward resolving its multitude of legal issues." However, the rating agency added, given that other legal issues remain, "we believe these will continue to create headwinds for the company over a near- to intermediate-term time horizon, from the perspective of both management attention and earnings generation."
Bank of America said Friday that it will pay for the settlement with existing litigation reserves and about $1.6 billion in litigation expense that will be recorded in its third quarter. The company cautioned that this expense, coupled with some other charges, is expected to lower its third-quarter earnings by about 28 cents per share.
Bank of America will report its third-quarter financial results on Oct. 17.
Shares of Bank of America Corp. fell 14 cents to $8.83 in trading Friday. It shares peaked for the past year at $10.10 on March 19 and traded as low as $4.91 in mid-December 2011.
