Mirador del Nordenskjold by mkamionka (30921)
banyanman (7789) 2012-03-23 5:20
I can see we have a lot in common in terms of the types of landscapes that we enjoy photographing, Mariusz. I would love to have this one in my own gallery because it is exactly as I would have framed it, and you have executed it perfectly. A1 technically, great DOF and excellent use of the grad filter. I think the red plants in the foreground are Anarthrophyllum Defideratum (commonly known as the Neneo Plant). They add a fabulous foreground POI which is often hard to find in wide-angle landscape photographs.
to where ? by siamakjafari (1527)
banyanman (7789) 2009-12-25 23:55
This looked outstanding in the thumbnail, Siamak, but was somewhat disappointing when I opened it up as it lacks sharpness. I like the composition and light, but at f/5.6 1/400 the image should be much sharper than this. I note you have uploaded it at a very low quality (79kb) so I am guessing that is the problem. If there is no problem with the original, then perhaps you could sharpen the image and upload it at a higher quality to the Workshop (for a photograph as potentially as good as this one I would upload it at 800 pixels, instead of 600, and not less than 200kb). Cheers . . . David
The trail by hains (9409)
banyanman (7789) 2009-12-25 23:36
I bet that made you jump, Mario! But the fallen tree adds an interesting perspective to this lovely trail scene with all the fall colors. I think the image could have done with a little more sharpening, and I would have preferred to see your POV a little off-centre, but the latter point is more of a personal preference. Cheers . . . David
Horseshoe Bend by euryan (8438)
banyanman (7789) 2009-12-17 7:44
I spotted this in your randoms, Ryan, and immediately thought it was an HDR image. But after reading your PP update, I am now enlightened. Some days I yearn to go back to film when I see the results that can be achieved. I can't add much to what has already been written above in the well-deserved critiques for this magnificent image. One of many in your superb gallery that you can be proud of. Cheers . . . David
Brunei Aerial by ChrisJ (100180)
banyanman (7789) 2009-08-10 6:02
This turned out quite well for a through-the-aircraft-window shot, Chris. I guess you must have had the light behind you because the colour saturation is quite strong. During the day many of these aerial shots would look quite washed out. Good there were no clouds in the foreground too. Cheers . . . David
Shwedagon by Curioso (9271)
banyanman (7789) 2009-04-04 3:15
I like this better than the original, Steven, even though some might feel it is over-saturated. The blue hour at Shwedagon really can look like this. I have a similar shot taken at the blue hour when I was still using film, and it is one of my all-time favourite photos. Shwedagon is one of my favourite places too - I have spent hours there just watching the people go about their worship. Excellent technical quality. I must go back there one day with my digital camera. Cheers . . . David
Springtime Snowfall by Jamierussell (6013)
banyanman (7789) 2009-04-04 3:08
Yes you are right, Jamie, there's not much going on in this photo, but the light is superb and that more than makes up for the lack of an exciting subject. It is nevertheless a very well composed photograph and excellent light management and use of the ND filter. Cheers . . . David
children are children by belido (19934)
banyanman (7789) 2009-04-04 3:00
I don't see anything wrong with the quality of this shot, Carlos. Although it is posed, and 'ordinary' in terms of its composition, the lovely smiles of the two kids on the left carry it. (I would have been tempted to crop out the boy on the right - although some might think that would be unkind, I think your photograph would have had more impact without him). Cheers . . . David[+]
Orion nebula by dkeus31 (27735)
banyanman (7789) 2009-04-04 2:52
Wow, this is quite spectacular, Didier - a three hours exposure . . . amazing! I've never tried any astronomical photography - I guess (as alluded to in your note) you need special equipment like a tracking mechanism to achieve such clarity and definition. I suppose too you can only do it from a part of the world where there is not too much air pollution.
Cheers . . . David

Los Lunas resident Kelly Beraun almost lost her son Jaiden three times. The first time was just after he and his twin, Benjamin, were born in May 2010 at 25 weeks. The first time he cried, he popped a hole in his lung and doctors thought he wouldn't survive. He pulled through.
A week later, Jaiden perforated his intestine and was rushed into emergency surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis, a common gastrointestinal problem among premature babies that can destroy the intestines.

Se7en's ending is still regarded as one of the most brutal and memorable of the last 20 years. But what made it chime with audiences? And how close did it come to be altered?
Brad Pitt fought the undead in 2013's World War Z then more recently German soldiers in his epic World War II action-drama Fury. Now with piles of dead zombies and Nazis in behind him, he may be ready to team up with wife Angelina Jolie to battle animal poachers.
It's always exciting when large-scale ensemble dramas are announced. These projects open up special doors that allow some of the best actors in the industry to work with and bounce off other like none other, and it's fun to watch and see just how many A-listers can be packaged into one feature.
Its been revealed that David Fincher, Gillian Flynn, and Ben Affleck are now reteaming for a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock classic Strangers on a Train, with Affleck set to play the movies protagonist. The big question that remains, however, is who will play opposite him as the films murder-trading villain.
Adam McKay is making a big move directing The Big Short as his next film, making the jump from goofy comedies like Anchorman and Step Brothers to serious drama. It should be an interesting journey for him as a filmmaker, but it will be an adventure that sees him working with an outstanding cast.
So whats the main thrust of the argument? Obviously, stop reading this is you havent yet seen or read Fight Club, and still want to go into the story unspoiled.
Along with a Golden Globe nomination comes more recognition, so Brad Pitt is here to make sure everyone is pronouncing David Oyelowos name correctly.
Beyond his part in Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys, Brad Pitt has never really explored much of the science-fiction. It's a bit strange when you consider how many other genre films he's made over the course of his career as an actor and a producer - but the good news is that it's an area in which the famed actor is working to expand.
Brad Pitt has admitted that he lets his 13-year-old son watch violent, R-rated movies with him. However he also makes sure that he talks through what theyve just watched afterwards. Just in case hes traumatised.
This past weekend the new World War II movie Fury was at the top of the box office with $26 million. This got the folks over at Jimmy Kimmel Live wondering what a sequel to this Brad Pitt vehicle would look like. Turns out, you throw in some Furbies and even a movie as hard-R and graphically violent as Fury can be family friendly!
Some coming out of Fury noticed a different dynamic between Brad Pitt and the introverted, God-fearing soldier played by Shia LaBeouf in the film. Is it possible these two men had a romantic relationship?
Welcome to my nightmare. This is how Fury director David Ayer jokingly reacts to my initial question about filming an entire World War II drama involving tanks.
Shia LaBeouf did a good job of reminding the world that he isnt a crazy person after all during his recent appearance to promote Fury on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Which was down in part to his revelation that the entire cast fought each other on a daily basis to get into character for the movie, and that he even punched Brad Pitt.
Ben Afflecks impossibly comfortable turn as the self-centered Nick Dunne struck me as yet another combination of a perfect Fincher choice, followed by a seamless performance under the directors watchful eye. And I realized it was the latest of many.
Newlyweds Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie celebrate their new nuptials by reuniting for By the Sea, a new romantic drama set in 1970s France. Check out the first photos from the shoot.
The new release date places Fury in closer proximity to the Toronto and Telluride film festivals where producer Brad Pitt launched his eventual Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave -- but goes on to note that neither fest has programmed Fury as of yet.
Has there been a major Hollywood couple where the wife actually directed her husband in a movie? The Hollywood directing ranks are overwhelmingly male, but there have been no shortage of power couples that could have tried it out. But more often than not, it's the man who wears the pants behind the camera.
Its a war movie unlike any other thats been made about the second World War and making that required a lot of attention to detail, as we learned by watching the crew at work last November.
Weve seen Brad Pitt kill Nazis before thanks to Quentin Tarantinos badass, unusually spelled Inglourious Basterds. Now, were gonna get that chance again thanks to David Ayers Fury, though if the above trailer is any indication, this new film will be a whole lot different than QTs stylistic, over the top masterpiece that could have won Best Picture.
Once upon a time, Hollywood was filled with actors and actresses who could slap their names on a movie poster and almost guarantee success. That star power has lessened over the years. We can all agree on that. Exactly how much is still a matter of fierce debate, but if one hot and trendy new algorithm can be relied upon, the answer is almost none at all.
Anyone who's seen Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds knows that Brad Pitt contributes to a huge portion of that film's success. His casting was probably the most brilliant move on that film besides the casting of his co-star Christoph Waltz, and he's looking to tear down the Nazis yet again in his new film, Fury. And this time, he's not scalping his way through enemy territory, he's shelling them into submission!
Back in the 1980s, Hollywood action movies preferred their male leads to have gigantic arms. They wanted Hulk Hogan lookalikes with Popeye biceps who could conceivably one punch any human being into a coma. More recently, however, the standard of badass bodies has changed quite a bit.
The story hasn't been revealed, though knowing Jolie's interests, it's probably something a bit more serious. Her directing efforts so far include In The Land Of Blood And Honey and the upcoming WWII-set Unbroken.
McChrystal was one of the more prominent political voices in the Middle East. An outspoken critic of the war, McChrystal was nonetheless a highly-decorated commander, credited with the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who led Al Quaeda in Iraq.
The deal between Pitt and the project's producing company, GK Films, hasn't been completed yet, but Deadline says that things are "serious." Once the deal is signed the hunt will begin for a big name director who will get production rolling "early next year."

Does anybody know what software The Economist use to creat these animated charts? Thanks a lot! Max.
I think they use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects.
IN 1998 Apple was 6 weeks from bankruptcy.
Many Apple employees were laid off and there were more bankruptcy lawyers walking the campus than software engineers.
Calling Apple "penny stock" at the time would be overvaluing it.
Apple was even worst off than Blackberry is today.
Apple turned around and now is the most profitable and valuable brand in the world.
Apple's secret weapon was reinstalling Steve Jobs in the bankruptcy.
Blackberry has hope, if it can get an insanely great mind that understands the technology and the consumer.
--What is the state of human cloning technology?
Sure there's hope, but for every Apple come-back-story there are hundreds if not thousands of Nortel, Compaq, AOL, Friendster, Acorn and Commodore International tragic-failure-stories.
Nothing's impossible, but, sadly, I doubt Blackberry will be around in a recognizable form 5 years from now.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns rookie T.J. Warren named to All-NBA Summer League Second Team
As far as opening acts go, rookie small forward T.J. Warren's first in purple and orange couldn't have gone much better than it did.
The Phoenix Suns' No. 14 overall pick was sensational during his Las Vegas Summer League stint, averaging right around 18 points per contest on 54.4 percent shooting (37-of-68) from the field.
Warren scored at least 20 points in three of his five appearances -- a notable feat considering he missed the entire second half of the Suns' 93-82 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on July 13 due to injury (stitches above right eye).
For his efforts, the reigning ACC Player of the Year was named to the Samsung All-NBA Summer League Second Team along with Jordan Mcrae, Rudy Gobert, Russ Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr.

The communications provider has tapped actor Eric Stonestreet to issue weekly challenges that ask fans to share photos and videos.
AT&T wants college football fans to #BeTheFan in an initiative that helps the communications provider mark another season as the official wireless provider of NCAA Football.
To do so, AT&T has recruited a "coach," two-time Emmy-winning actor Eric Stonestreet, to help NCAA Football fans demonstrate what color they bleed.
In #BeTheFan, Stonestreet issues a series of challenges that give fans weekly opportunities to win backstage passes and trips to the set of ESPN's College GameDay.
As the name implies, fans can respond to each challenge by sharing photos and videos on Twitter, Vine, and Instagram with the hashtag #BeTheFan.
The first challenge, which was posted to YouTube on August 30, asks fans to show how they kick off the season.
It has 3,600 views as of September 5.
@EricStonestreet, who has 542,000 followers, is tweeting about the initiative.
@ATT, which has 282,000 followers, is also tweeting to push the promo, as well as responding to submissions on behalf of the coach.
An AT&T rep was not available for comment.

Smartphones on the cheap
Published: Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.
Question: I'm shopping for a new smartphone, and I've found the one I want on Amazon.com for only a penny. In the cellular provider's store, it costs $199. What's the catch if I buy from Amazon instead?
Answer: Surprisingly, there is no catch! Sure you still have to sign a 2-year cellular contract to get that price, but that's true of any phone purchase. Amazon Wireless wants to make it extra tempting to buy from its website, because providers give Amazon a commission from the sale. This commission is bigger if you sign a two-year contract, so Amazon is fine with taking a loss on the phone to make money from the commission. Amazon also hopes you remember that excellent deal you found when it comes time to make another big tech purchase — like a TV or computer.
Buying a projector
Question: I want to buy a projector for business presentations in an office setting. What features should I look for?
Answer: For the best price vs. performance, choose a single-chip DLP or LCD display. XGA and SXGA resolution are both fine for business presentations. You can choose the one that matches your budget. Avoid expensive HD projectors — those are for home theaters. Brightness is going to be a major factor, especially if you don't have control of the lighting in your presentation room. Look for a projector that has 2,000 to 3,000 lumens. This will work well in most environments. Finally, a projector with a contrast ratio of above 1,000:1 will make for sharper presentations. A good number to shoot for is 3000:1. Here's a bonus tip: Once you buy your projector, definitely test it out at least a week before your first presentation. You want to work out any kinks before the big day.
Video blogging a vacation
Question: I'm traveling to Europe this fall, and I'd like to make some short video clips from my iPhone 4S to share with my friends. Do you know of any good apps for this?
Answer: The 8-megapixel camera on the 4S is great for video, so you've chosen a good gadget to take on the trip. There's an app called Trip Journal that will do most of the things you want. Not only does it allow you to post photo and video to social networks, you can also create maps with detailed location notes. When you return home, you can turn all of your posts into a full journal. I will leave you with one caution, though: Always try to upload your videos when you have access to Wi-Fi. If you use a regular data connection, you may run into data overage fees. It is also available for Android devices.
Turn off Facebook public search
Question: I'm setting up a Facebook account for my son, and I want to keep his profile off of Google and other search engines. Could you tell me how?
Answer: If your son is a minor, Facebook should automatically set him up with maximum privacy settings, but it's good to double-check. On the main profile page, click the upside-down triangle and choose Privacy Settings. Go to Apps and Websites and click Edit Settings. At the bottom of the page, you can turn off the Public Search option. This will make it so he doesn't show up in Google searches. If you want to limit who can find him on Facebook itself, go back to the main privacy menu, and select How You Connect. Click Edit Settings and change " Who can look you up" to Friends. This will stop strangers from finding his account. Most of his account settings should be set to Friends for maximum security.
Setting up FaceTime
Question: I love FaceTime on my iPhone, but I'd like to set it up for my other Apple devices. Will it work on the iPod Touch?
Answer: FaceTime will work on most Apple products, including the iPod Touch, Macs and iPads.
On your iPod Touch, the FaceTime app will be in the upper left corner of the Home screen. The Getting Started screen will help you set up FaceTime. For FaceTime on a Mac, you need to download the FaceTime for Mac app. You will need an Apple ID to use FaceTime on a Mac, the iPod Touch or an iPad. You can link multiple emails to one Apple ID, so everyone in your family can have FaceTime access without signing up for multiple accounts. You will automatically receive incoming video calls once you enable FaceTime, but your iPod touch needs to be on Wi-Fi for it to work.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
07 May 2014 13:35 GMT | US & Canada, Pakistan, United States
Ramzi Kassem is an associate professor of law at the City University of New York.
Baher Azmy is the Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
In mid-April, after an eight-year, "Kafkaesque" ordeal implicating its vast architecture of official secrecy and bureaucratic intransigence, the US government finally, if grudgingly, informed Dr Rahinah Ibrahim that she was no longer on the No Fly List. Dr Ibrahim, a Malaysian architecture professor, had been placed on the list as a result of a clerical error, a fact that the Department of Justice fought vigorously in court to cover up, until a federal judge ordered it to come clean. This marks an important victory for transparency in the realm of US watch lists, which operate in near-total secrecy, even when mistakes are made.
But a major part of the story about the government's misuse of its No Fly List has yet to be told. The government
But a major part of the story about the government's misuse of its No Fly List has yet to be told. The government is depriving people in the US of their freedom to travel, without any notice or hearing, not only by mistake, as in Dr Ibrahim's case, but also deliberately, in order to coerce them to work as informants for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Our two organisations, CLEAR and the Center for Constitutional Rights, sued US federal agents, officials and agencies last week on behalf of four American Muslim men with no criminal records who were approached by the FBI in an effort to recruit them as informants. One of them was asked if he would go to online Islamic forums and "act extremist," while another was asked whether he would travel to Pakistan for the FBI. And the agents don't beat around the bush. As one agent told our client who had turned to his elected representatives for assistance: "The Congressmen can't do shit for you; we're the only ones who can take you off the list."
There can be no place for blackmail by law enforcement in an open and democratic society.
Because these plaintiffs exercised their constitutional right to refuse to spy on innocent members of their own communities, our lawsuit alleges, the FBI tried to coerce them into obedience by placing or keeping them on its shadowy watch list. As a result, the plaintiffs have been unable to visit wives, children, sick parents, and elderly grandparents overseas for years. They have missed funerals. They have lost jobs, been stigmatised and isolated within their communities, and suffered severe financial and emotional distress.
One of the plaintiffs, Awais Sajjad, bemoaned this dilemma. "I do not want to become an informant, but the government says I must in order to be taken off the No Fly List," Mr Sajjad told us recently. "How can the government tell me that the only way I can see my family again is if I turn my back on my community?"
The No Fly List is supposed to be about ensuring aviation safety but the FBI is using it to force innocent people like Mr Sajjad to become informants. The practice borders on extortion, but it should come as no surprise when the government is allowed to compile secret watch lists without giving people any meaningful notice or an opportunity to see or challenge the asserted reasons for their placement. The lawsuit alleges that this lack of transparency and accountability makes the list ripe for abuse by FBI agents who often face pressure from their superiors to recruit human sources.
A skeptic might ask: what if the FBI can prove these men posed a real threat to civil aviation? If so, that only begs the question of why they were told they could fly again if they agreed to work as informants for the FBI - or how, if they were truly deemed so dangerous, the FBI could risk enlisting them as informants.
As of 2013, the No Fly List contained over 21,000 names and it is worth noting that a 2007 audit found that more than half of the 71,000 names then on the list were wrongly included. It is an open question how many people today are on the list purely by mistake, like Dr Ibrahim, and how many, like Mr Sajjad, have been listed improperly because they refuse to spy on their communities.
We believe that the court will vindicate these plaintiffs and strike down this unlawful use of the No Fly List. However, the government can still rectify the matter on its own by discontinuing this misuse of its watch-listing authority, by confirming that the plaintiffs have been removed from the No Fly List, and by vigorously investigating how they came to be placed on the list in the first instance. There can be no place for blackmail by law enforcement in an open and democratic society.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Brochure More information from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/577429/ Companion Animal Health Products: New Edition Description: The companion animal sector has been the main driver of growth for the global animal health industry since the mid-1990s. This essential report analyses the size and structure of the companion animal market, profiles the companies leading this sector and assesses prospects for future growth. Examine in detail market share across the sector with detailed information on size of business, contribution to total sales, key products and future prospects for the sector's current market leaders. Products for use in companion animals have been the main driver of growth in the world market for veterinary pharmaceuticals and vaccines since the mid-1990s. This report analyses the size and structure of the companion animal market, profiles the businesses of leading companies involved in the sector, and assesses prospects for growth through the remainder of this decade. Chapter one of the study offers a brief overview of major health problems affecting the three main companion animal species (dogs, cats and horses), and identifies the products used to prevent, treat or control them. Viral, bacterial and parasitic infections are among the most prevalent challenges faced by companion animals, but chronic, age-related conditions are being diagnosed with increasing frequency in ageing dog and cat populations, with cardiovascular problems and cancer among the most significant diseases in this respect. The products used to prevent, treat or control disease in companion animals are discussed in chapter two of the report. This section focuses on product groupings that are responsible for major shares of the market in value terms, including antiparasitics, anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories and biologicals. Established product classes and their modes of action are explained, while recent introductions to the market are discussed in more detail. Future launch activity in each major segment of the market is also addressed. Products for use in companion animals generated global revenues of $6.8 billion in 2005 - equivalent to 39% of the entire world market for animal health products. The companion animal market is concentrated in geographical terms, with ten countries responsible together for 84% of global sales in the sector. The size, structure, recent development and future growth prospects of these ten markets are analysed in chapter three of the study. The US is the dominant market in the companion animal health products sector, generating over half of the $6.8 billion global sales total. No other single market is responsible for more than 7% of sales in the sector. Five of the ten biggest markets are located in Europe, with the UK representing that regions leading source of companion animal product sales. Chapter four of the report addresses common factors that will act as drivers or constraints on rates of growth in the companion animal products market during the second half of this decade. These include companion animal populations; economic, social and demographic trends; new products and technologies; promotion and marketing strategies; companion animal health and disease trends; patent expiries and generic penetration of the companion animal products market; product safety issues; regulatory factors; and companion animal health insurance. Shaped by these factors, growth of the global market for companion animal health products is forecast at a compound annual rate of 4.9% in the period to 2010 (at actual prices, and calculated at constant rates of exchange), with sales in the sector reaching $8.6 billion in 2010. Growth in most of the worlds leading national markets will fail to match the global average, with sales in France, Italy, Spain and Australia forecast to rise at rates of less than 4% a year. Of the ten biggest markets, Brazil is expected to return highest rates of growth, with sales there rising at a CAGR of 7%. Rapid growth is also anticipated in a number of other developing countries, with China expected to feature among the worlds ten biggest markets for companion animal health products by the end of the decade. The final section of the report analyses the structure of the companion animal products market in terms of company shares. The size of each companys companion animal business, its contribution to individual company sales totals, leading products and future developments are all discussed. Here again, the market is relatively concentrated, with almost two-thirds of global sales by value generated by ten leading companies. Merial is the outright market leader, claiming a share of almost 17%, while Pfizer is its closest competitor with a 12% share. Bayer, Novartis and Fort Dodge complete the top five rankings.

Braves 6, Giants 1
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—When Chipper Jones took his first major league swing in six weeks, he felt a sharp discomfort in his injured foot. With his second swing, he hit a pain-free 440-foot homer through a biting San Francisco wind.
Chipper Jones proved he's back on the same night that Andruw Jones showed he's better than ever—and midway through a key road trip, the Atlanta Braves are warming to their chances for yet another playoff spot.
Andruw Jones hit a pair of two-run homers and Chipper Jones also homered in his first at-bat since early June, leading the Braves to a 6-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.
In pitcher Mike Hampton's groan-inducing words in the Braves' clubhouse after the game, the Giants simply couldn't keep up with these Joneses. They staked Atlanta to a five-run lead in the first three innings—even after manager Bobby Cox juggled the lineup to put Chipper in the fifth spot behind Andruw for the first time in the longtime teammates' careers.
"I was seeing the ball pretty good, and it's great to have Chipper back out there," Andruw Jones said. "I was kind of surprised he was hitting behind me … but we have to do it wherever we are. We're starting to get our main guys back from injuries, and he's a big part of it."
Andruw Jones connected in the first and third innings off Kevin Correia (1-1), driving both pitches deep into the left-field stands for the 25th multihomer game of his career. Jones, who homered off Kenny Rogers in last week's All-Star game, got his first two homers since the break to stay on pace for one of the most impressive power seasons in the Braves' franchise history.
But Chipper Jones' solo homer was just as noteworthy for the Braves, who have three wins on their 10-game post-break road trip.
The five-time All-Star was activated from the disabled list before the game after missing the previous 37 games with a partially torn ligament in his left foot, which caused minor discomfort several times during the night. But he followed Andruw Jones' two-run shot in the first with a drive to right-center— usually the toughest power spot in a pitcher-friendly park.
"I just felt like I could handle anything they threw up there," Chipper Jones said. "I've been like a caged lion for the last couple of weeks. It's crazy. The pain isn't all the way gone, but they can't keep me on the sidelines any longer."
The homer snapped Chipper Jones' 0-for-18 slump—the second-worst of his career, behind an 0-for-23 skid in 2000. Jones, batting fifth in Atlanta's lineup for the first time since 1995, went 1-for-4 before Wilson Betemit replaced him in the eighth.
"I didn't know what to expect," said Cox, who got his 1,700th victory with Atlanta. "We thought about keeping him down in the minors longer (on a rehab assignment), but he may as well get his at-bats up here. I guess it paid off tonight."
Jones' return capped three encouraging days for the Braves, who are finally emptying their crowded injury list. Starting pitchers Tim Hudson and Hampton returned last weekend.
Jorge Sosa (5-1) labored through six innings, but remained unbeaten since June 23. Though he gave up just one run, Sosa allowed six hits and four walks while repeatedly escaping trouble.
Mike Matheny had three hits, but Pedro Feliz left the bases loaded in the first and third innings as the Giants failed to capitalize on the momentum from three wins in Los Angeles last week.
After two strong starts earlier in the month, Correia faltered against the Jones combination. The right-hander allowed six hits and five runs over four innings before getting lifted for a pinch-hitter.
"I pretty much deserved both of (Andruw Jones' homers)," Correia said. "When you make pitches like that, they usually go over the fence, and it looks bad. I have to be better than that."
The game wasn't all bad news for San Francisco: Kirk Rueter, the veteran left-hander banished to the bullpen after three mostly dismal months, allowed just one hit and one run in five strong relief innings.
"He could have pitched 15 innings like that," Giants manager Felipe Alou said of Rueter's first regular-season appearance from the bullpen since April 2000. "Very economical. We want to leave him in there and have him enjoy that ride."
Rueter, normally the Giants' most affable player, refused to speak to reporters.
Barry Bonds, who visited his teammates last weekend in Los Angeles, remained in Southern California for more rehabilitation on his troublesome knee. Alou still has no timetable for the slugger's return. … Ray Durham, the Giants' oft-injured second baseman, left in the fifth inning with a bruised left heel. … San Francisco had its 12th sellout of the season, drawing 42,277 fans to watch the NL's two winningest teams over the last five years.

Stumped on our outdoor lamps
We have 2 outdoor lamps that flank our driveway. But we can't figure out how they work or find the main switch for them. They turn on radomly at night, but not often. I think I've seen them on in the wee hours of the morning about 5 times since we moved in in 2007.
I'd like to replace the lamp posts with something more updated. They are just a plain white and doesn't really go with our Spanish style home. I guess we could paint them black, but they'd still look out of date. The house was built in '77.
From what we were told by the neighbors, this is a contractor's house. The contractor that built our home, built several of the homes around our block. We have a huge electrical panel in our garage and then another panel we haven't opened yet. But I think that has something to do with the telephone. The big panel had never been marked so by trial and error we marked some of the electrical wires that go to certain rooms in our house.
But even if we found the circuit for the outdoor lamps, shouldn't there be a switch somewhere for them?
What there should be and what exists are often two different things. If you can't find an obvious switch they may be hardwired with some kind of photocell or timer.
As for tracing the circuit, there are tools to do that. The attached thread is just one example on many that are on the market. I know Home Depot sells a similar one and it goes for about $40.
Here is a link that might be useful: Circuit Tracing Thread
There is a technique to locate the ditch line from the posts back to the house or from post to post called 'witching' that could help give an idea where the line inters your home. If you have a basement you might be able to find its entry point. The technique involves walking around back and forth between the post and the house holding two pieces of wire out in front of you. The neighbors will think your cheese slid off your cracker, but it does work rather well and can be explained further if needed.
Ok great info. I think I know what we're looking for now so if we find it, is this something that just needs to be replaced? Or...if we just replace the lamps would that solve the problem? I guess if that photocell is located somewhere else it wouldn't solve the problem.
I know we've looked at the lamps before but maybe not very closely. A photocell shouldn't be covered up I imagine, so we'll take a look again. Thanks!
Photocells are often located in the body of the fixture. For a "post" type, often in the post itself. There are "add-on" ones that screw in between the lamp and the socket. They do fail with some regularity.
It's also possible the photocell is somewhere on the house, under an eve as an example.
Here is a link that might be useful: Photo Controls
