Merle Haggard........a BIG tipper
If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

Since my last post was a photo of Merle Haggard in concert,thought I would share another one for this theme.Merle and his Fender both sounded great at the Tivoli Theatre in Chatt.,Tn. I think that he loved us as much as we loved him. After a standing ovation from the crowd,Merle tipped his hat. I thought it was a very cool gesture from this icon of country music. A moment and concert I will never forget.

A great news day across the web, truly amazing stuff!!!
When I encountered John Chow's blog last year, I first found his writing annoying. But over time his blog grew on me, and I've found John's advice on generating links and traffic to be solid.
John Chow points out that Google pays FireFox for clicks generated from the FFox search box, and projects FFox may eventually become Google's largest traffic source.

« The Sickness | Main | Synopsis »
Breakin' Up
I knew it was over about three hours after my last new post. My not-so-special lady's text glared at me like a polished turd (100% possible per Mythbusters): "Could you please bring my Doctor Who DVDs to rehearsal tonight?" She didn't know how jammed my Mondays are — work, then straight to therapy, then straight to rehearsal, with a dinner of granola bars in my car in the Harper College parking lot — but luckily, I'd had the DVDs sitting in my car for weeks, since I expected to see her much sooner than this.
It's weird when something seemingly innocuous feels like the worst possible omen, but her behavior over the past few weeks left little room for doubt. The part of me that wanted to believe she was just sick and everything would return to relative normalcy as soon as she got better grew smaller and smaller with each new sign that she was preparing to end things.
"Why not just put it out of its misery?" I asked myself. When I got to rehearsal, she seemed pretty normal, though — chatty and pleasant. She even seemed to forget she asked me to bring the Doctor Who DVDs an hour earlier. I wanted to put a hash mark under the "Innocuous Message" column, and she made it easy to do that, so I let her.
But things got weird again afterward, when I walked her to her car and she practically dove in and strapped herself into the seatbelt to make a goodnight kiss difficult — nay, impossible. And then she was gone, leaving me to ponder the possibility that she wanted to avoid a kiss because she was still sick, even though she'd repeatedly declared that she was not contagious. Maybe she meant it wasn't airborne?
So what should I have done? I wasn't going to break up with her through a fucking text message, or an e-mail, or even a phone call. The only choice I could see was to continue with Sara's advice to back off, only contacting her when it was necessary. Trying to act like everything was normal — to hedge my bets, since I have a history of allowing relationship-ruining paranoia to get the best of me — until I could see her again. I told myself, "If she's still weird and stand-offish at next week's rehearsal, I'll just end it. Why should we maintain this charade if she's trying so hard to casually slide out of the relationship?"
I sent her an e-mail on Tuesday or Wednesday. I saw an amusing image on Facebook depicting Edward and Bella from Twilight, in a typically melodramatic pose, with Wesley Snipes's Blade looming behind them. I thought it was worth passing along to her. No response.
I'd told her at last week's rehearsal that I'd found recordings of our specific arrangements of traditional carols, to help make them a little easier to memorize. Thursday, Thanksgiving morning, I sent a link to a zip of all the songs to her. I actually should have done it sooner, but I didn't really have time to get all the tracks organized until Thursday. No response.
Finally, she recommended the Hunger Games books to me. I finally caught up on The New Yorker, so I was able to plow through the remainder of the first book over the past week. Her description sounded cool, but I remained unsure. However, the first book, at least, is far better than it has any right to be. Kids have much better young-adult literature than we do, guys. This shit is and head and shoulders above A Wrinkle in fucking Time. It's like The Running Man (the book, not the movie) meets Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, only even more awesome than that hopefully sounds. Anyway, when I finished the first book and moved on to the second, I texted her a thank-you for the recommendation. That was on Saturday morning, I think. No response.
Sunday evening, I received an e-mail from her. No subject line. Dun-dun-dun!
And, yeah… I won't reprint it here, although I'm always tempted to do so when something's put in writing, but she dumped me in a fucking e-mail.
It's not that I didn't see it coming. I was emotionally prepared, although it still sort of hurts. I'm not mad about the relationship ending; I'm a little frustrated about the poor communication, because I think if we'd cleared the air weeks ago, this prolonged "Gee, it seems like she wants to break up, but maybe she really is just sick" bullshit wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have spent the last three weeks in a state, trying to figure out if I was bringing my own baggage into this because, without actually seeing her and barely communicating with her, I just got stuck in my own head again.
But, really, the only thing that bugs me is how it happened. A fucking e-mail? She couldn't do it face-to-face, after rehearsal tonight, the way I planned to? Maybe I shouldn't expect anything more from someone I met through a flurry of e-mails, but still… AN E-MAIL?!? There's really nothing else to say but:
Now that it's over, I've gone back in time and posted the last few weeks' worth of "new" Monday posts. I'd written them all on successive Mondays but didn't want to post them for fear of being too public about my worry and paranoia. Doesn't really matter now, so you might as well enjoy the chronicle of a relationship in decline.

Name: Saadia B
Class Standing: Senior '2012 at Mary Walker High School
Years in Upward Bound: 4
My goals:
- To be a first generation college student
- To demonstrate my strengths as a student and person in everyday life.
- To make everybody aware that no matter the circumstances, if there is a will, there is a way.
- To go to college and major in business management.
How Upward Bound has Inspired me to Obtain a College Education:
I come from a background with few opportunities. I was constantly moving from home to home, which limited my interactions with people and my chances. In 8th grade, Upward Bound was brought to my attention. Applying for it seemed pointless because I had no future. My parents did not go anywhere and saw me as merely a reflection of their inexperienced youth. Not only did my parents not go to college, but I was moving from foster home to foster home so frequently, I could not see the benefits of becoming an Upward Bound scholar.
Going against every part of my body, I applied and was accepted into Upward Bound. This was a feeling I had never experienced. For the first time in my life I felt wanted, l knew I had a purpose. I slowly began to find my niche. I was getting advice about classes, homework, budgeting, jobs, and discovering steps to take that ensure I would be college ready. Thankfully, I stayed at my current high school and could access the tools that Upward Bound provides. Things between freshman and senior year were rough, and I even changed households, but I found the will and support to stay focused on my goals and keep what I had going for me.
I am on track to go to college. I have explored a rigorous college curriculum and have applied to four colleges (Central Washington University, Western Washington University, Eastern Washington University, and Heritage College). I have academically achieved more than my entire family could have expected of me. Looking back, the only challenge in life I really faced was fear. Sure, there were physical blockades but as far as school goes, I could have put more effort into my work and personal development ...I could have used more of the tools Upward Bound gave me. If I could go back, I would have challenged myself more. However, I firmly believe that there is a lesson in every activity in life. My parents, school, friends, and Upward Bound have provided me with increased strength.
Upward Bound has shown me that I have the strength to go to college and be successful! I am. I am positive that college is achievable for you, me, and any other person who desires to reach for this goal. Your future is in your hands—what you do with it is entirely up to you. Upward Bound is a privilege, and I am so thankful I was selected to be one of their scholars.

Getting Started
At Abt we understand that technology changes fast and computer technology changes even faster. Computer monitors can be an exception to technology change because a good monitor can last for years and years.
When deciding on the perfect monitor, you should determine the connection type and the size that will best suit your needs.
The size of a computer monitor is very important when making a final decision. Everyone has their own personal use for their computer, which will determine what size monitor they will need. At Abt, our computer monitors range from 19 to 30 inches.
On the other hand, many laptops and some desktops now come equipped with an HDMI output. This gives you the option of using any HDMI equipped HDTV as your monitor, providing greater flexibility with monitor size. Keep in mind, though, that televisions currently are limited to a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080.
Below you will find a glossary of terms that will help you on your search for your new computer monitor. If you find some of your questions unanswered, you can always call our knowledgeable sales staff at 888-228-5800.
LCD (Flat-Panel Display) Monitors
These are the most stylish computer monitors available today. The major selling point of flat-panel displays is their size. Traditional CRT monitors were a foot deep or more, so they took up a lot of space on a desktop. Flat-panel displays are only a few inches deep, making them great for normal desktops and even better for cramped quarters like a cubicle.
Another nice aspect of a flat-panel display is its digital nature. When you use this display in an all-digital environment, you can get terrific accuracy in imaging. For example, if you send a digital signal for a certain shade of green, your monitor will always produce that precise shade of green on the LCD display. CRTs, on the other hand, are less accurate.

Garry Cobb is a former USC standout-linebacker who returns to Football University for another year of top-flight instruction. Cobb had a very successful college career before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1979. During his time at Southern California, Cobb collected two Rose Bowl victories in addition to a national championship.
Cobb's NFL career ran for 11 seasons, spending most of his time with the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Cowboys. His most productive years go back to Detroit, where he also served as team captain for three seasons. Throughout his career, he played alongside some of the best pass rushers and linebackers in the game, including Reggie White and Jerome Brown. While on the Eagles as an outside linebacker in Buddy Ryan's vaunted 4-6 Defense, Garry had his best day as a pro when he registered 4 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in a single game against the Atlanta Falcons and was named the Sports Illustrated NFL Defensive Player Of The Week.
After his playing career, Cobb turned to the media side of football, where he also found himself to be successful. On top of running his own Philadelphia sports website, Cobb can be heard on his weekend football radio show.

Martin spelling bee champ has eyes on Washington | Photo Galleries | Videos
Here are the top 10 spellers from Thursday's Martin County Spelling Bee who will compete in the Scripps Treasure Coast Regional Spelling Bee on March 19:
Alexandra Nelson, Hidden Oaks Middle eighth grader
Harita Alla, Hidden Oaks Middle seventh grader
Katelyn Belz, St. Joseph Catholic eighth grader
Lema Hussein, Hidden Oaks Middle sixth grader
Presley Dooner, J.D. Parker Elementary fifth grader
Jaden Mazariegos, Indiantown Middle seventh grader
Shantanu Jakhete, Murray Middle sixth grader
Jacob Kern, Palm City Elementary fifth grader
Cassidy Farach, Murray Middle eighth grader
Miguel Almeida, Stuart Middle sixth grader
STUART — Alexandra Nelson is a few correctly spelled words away from winning a trip to Washington D.C. to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
The 14-year-old Hidden Oaks Middle School eighth-grader got closer to her goal Thursday when she spelled "mynheer" — a Dutch word meaning mister — and won the Martin County Spelling Bee in 10 rounds.
Forty-three spellers from Martin County public and private schools competed for a chance to become the nation's spelling champ.
Before the national bee, Alexandra and nine other top Martin County spellers will compete against the top 10 spellers from St. Lucie County and the top 10 from Indian River County in the Scripps Treasure Coast Regional Spelling Bee on March 19 at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce.
Harita Alla, a seventh-grader at Hidden Oaks, won second place and Katelyn Belz, an eighth-grader from St. Joseph Catholic, placed third at Thursday's bee, sponsored by Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers and the Blake Library.
The winner of the regional bee will represent the Treasure Coast at the national bee June 1 and 2.
This was Alexandra's fourth Martin County spelling bee and the March bee will be her third regional bee. In 2008, Alexandra placed fourth out of the 30 spellers in the three-county bee.
"I'm going to study really hard and hopefully go to Washington," she said.
Here are some of the toughest words from Thursday's bee. A few of these stumped students and dashed their hopes of proceeding to the next round:
Croesus: a very rich man.
Misogynist: one who hates women.
Keest: Inner vital substance; essence.
Asthmogenic: causing attacks characterized by shortness of breath.
Precocious: manifesting at an early age some of the mental or physical characteristics usually associated with maturity.
Autobahn: a road in Germany with double traffic lanes in each direction separated by a parkway.
Incorruptible: incapable of being bribed or changed from good to bad in morals, manners or actions.

Wolves finalize deal with Derrick Williams; Malcolm Lee still unsigned
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
It didn't take long to get Derrick Williams' contract done.
Days after the NBA lockout formally was lifted, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced on Monday they have agreed to terms with the No. 2 overall draft choice.
Williams, 20, participated in the first three days of training camp despite not officially being signed. The paperwork was completed, but had yet to be formally entered in by the league.
The versatile forward from Arizona is expected to get plenty of minutes in a frontcourt that also includes Kevin Love, Michael Beasley and Anthony Randolph.
The Wolves' second-round pick, UCLA shooting guard Malcolm Lee, also has been participating in camp without a formal deal. Lee is hoping the impression he makes in camp will help influence the team to sign him.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

"Until we meet again in Spokane in just one year, I bid you farewell, safe travels, and Godspeed," said BVA National President Sam Huhn as he struck the wooden gavel that officially adjourned the BVA 67th National Convention and created still a new section in the annals of the Association's rich history.
Events of the convention, which were held at both the Galveston Island Convention Center and the Hilton Galveston Island Resort where attendees lodged, came to a close with the annual Awards Banquet on August 23.
The banquet featured the recognition of Thomas Hicks of the Northern Arizona Regional Group as winner of the Melvin J. Maas Award for Professional Achievement. It also highlighted Randall Durrigan of the Southeast Massachusett – Rhode Island Regional Group as recipient of the Irving Diener Award for exemplary service to his group, and Enrique Sanchez of the New York Regional Group as the winner of the David L. Schnair Award for his dedicated work as a BVA volunteer.
The Missouri Regional Group, represented by Paul Mimms, was awarded the Gold Gavel for the largest numerical membership increase (32) while Dan Curtis received the Silver Gavel on behalf of the Southern Arizona Regional Group for the largest percentage increase in membership (4 percent).
Hosted by the Greater Houston Regional Group and chaired by BVA National Treasurer Roy Young, this year's gathering included a unique three-hour live auction on Tuesday evening (August 21) to offset convention expenses, a BVA-sponsored blood drive outside the Convention Center earlier that day, and a host of small-group sessions relating to current technology, self-defense, and new services to the blind and visually impaired.
Convention attendees and volunteers numbered approximately 350, including 114 blinded veterans, 80 family members and friends, 60 individual exhibitors in 32 booths, and a host of professional presenters and volunteers from local Veterans Service Organizations, Boy Scout troops and Venturing crews, and other community organizations.
Tuesday's Opening Business Session began with presentation of the colors by the Armed Guard of the First Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, a keynote address by Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, and remarks by Galveston Mayor Lewis S. Rosen, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (Houston) Director Adam C. Walmus, and Medical Center Visual Impairment Service Outpatient Rehabilitation Director Karen Petty.
The Wednesday Father Carroll Luncheon audience was favored by an address by Carl Augusto, President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB). Mr. Augusto presented former BVA Executive Director Thomas H. Miller with the prestigious Irvin P. Schloss AFB Advocacy Award. Although the award came about in 2003, Mr. Miller is only its third recipient.
Now in its seventh year as a BVA national convention component, the organization's Operation Peer Support initiative brought seven recently blinded service members, including two from the United Kingdom, who lost their sight in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). An additional 11 participants who had attended a previous convention paid their own way to attend this year. This number included three additional British blinded veterans.
Operation Peer Support brings together veterans of recent conflicts with those who have lost their sight in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, or the Gulf War era. The program's aim is to provide newly blinded veterans, or service members if they are still on active duty, with examples of and opportunities to interact with men and women who have led prosperous and happy lives despite having to adjust to sight loss at one point in their lives.
Convention activities of Operation Support included seminars, discussions, and demonstrations in the areas of educational and VA benefits, technology, self-defense, and career planning. The group also participated in an afternoon of paddling on kayaks on nearby Galveston Bay, courtesy of Team River Runner, and a VIP tour and visit to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Before and after scheduled activities, many conventioneers already accustomed to a bit of heat and humidity found an appropriate escape on the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico or the wide walkway running parallel to Seawall Boulevard on which both the Convention Center and the Hilton Resort are situated across the busy thoroughfare. An abundance of nearby dining options were also available to them.
Also running concurrently with BVA's meetings was the second annual Department of Defense-VA Eye Care Conference, planned and organized by the Vision Center of Excellence. Topics again this year focused on improving the tracking and treatment of combat injuries affecting vision.
In the convention's Closing Business Session, BVA delegates and other registered blinded veteran attendees voted to pass two bylaw amendments and 13 resolutions. A third proposed bylaw resolution was withdrawn by BVA National Vice President Mark Cornell prior to a vote. All national officers on the BVA Board of Directors–President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer–were re-elected to complete the second year of their two-year terms of office.
BVA members also ratified Spokane, Washington, as the site of the Association's 68th National Convention in August 2013. Precise dates and the exact hotel venue for the convention will be forthcoming in upcoming issues of the BVA Bulletin and at www.bva.org/convention.

Daily News Flash with Courtney Morris on Ariel Sharon's Legacy, a New Deal with Iran, and West Virginia's Chemical Spill
Uprising's guest expert Courtney Morris, assistant professor of African American and women's Studies at Penn State University and a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Rice University, analyzes today's news headlines:
Former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel "the bulldozer" Sharon died on Saturday at the age of 85, after 8 years in a coma. Ariel Sharon, one of the most polarizing figures in Israeli government, was eulogized this morning by many including US Vice President Joe Biden who euphemistically called him "a complex man." He was nicknamed not just "the bulldozer," but also "the butcher." Palestinians bitterly remember Israel's 11th Prime Minister for his role in the 1982 massacre of hundreds of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon as well for leading the push to build what they called the "apartheid wall," and greatly expanding Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories. Click here for a New York Times article about the story.
In other international news, the White House announced yesterday that Iran will start to destroy some of its enriched uranium starting on January 20th, as part of a deal reached in Geneva earlier. US Secretary of State John Kerry declared triumphantly, "[F]or the first time in almost a decade, Iran's nuclear program will not be able to advance, and parts of it will be rolled back, while we start negotiating a comprehensive agreement to address the international community's concerns about Iran's program." The deal includes oversight by the UN's nuclear watchdog agency. Meanwhile, President Obama is urging Congress to hold back from slapping Iran with new sanctions that could undo the progress. Click here for a CNN article about the story.
The Wall Street Journal has found a serious lack of government oversight of a chemical plant in West Virginia which contaminated the drinking water of residents in 9 counties as a result of a spill into the Elk River. The last time the site was visited by federal or state regulators was in 1991! So far about 10 people have been hospitalized for exposure to the chemical, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM). According to the WSJ, "MCHM is one of thousands of industrial chemicals whose effects on human health haven't been studied." Click here for the Wall Street Journal report on the spill.

Questions remain after fatal head-on crash with semi in Spanish Fork Canyon
Utah Highway Patrol troopers looking into a man's fatal head-on collision with a semi-trailer rig in Spanish Fork Canyon over the weekend still had unanswered questions on Monday about how and possibly why that tragedy occurred.
Killed when his 2000 Acura veered into the path of the oncoming big rig Friday night on Highway 6 was Gregory D. Leavitt, 34, of Pleasant Grove. The resulting collision ejected and killed Leavitt.
The crash closed down the highway at the mouth of the canyon until early Saturday morning after the semi jack-knifed and toppled, along with its two trailer loads of coal. The semi also caught fire, though the rig's driver, David Lewis, of Orem, escaped with minor injuries.
UHP said witnesses reported that Leavitt appeared to drive directly into the semi, but on Monday UHP Sgt. Todd Royce said it remained undetermined exactly what caused the Acura to make the sudden move into oncoming traffic.
"We're looking at all different possibilities in that crash, and we have not ruled out that it may have been self-inflicted," Royce said, adding that the final determination awaits the results of an autopsy by the State Medical Examiner's Office.

The artificial intelligence known as Xana is obsessed with world domination. Towards that end, he has taken over the supercomputer in charge of the virtual world of Lyoko, which he largely dominates. Xana is also able to attack the real world by activating towers on Lyoko(usually one at a time), which act as links to the real world. When these towers are activated, Xana is able to seize control of other computers and epohalectrical systems as well as occasionally possessing organic life-forms or generating copies of them. The group has to get Aelita (The only one capable of de-activating towers) to the activated tower(s) out of the forty one scattered about Lyoko's four main regions to deactivate them, neutralizing Xana's attack on the real world.
Once the danger is averted, they can use the supercomputer to return to the past, leaving no one except themselves to remember any of the events that transpired. To complicate the situation, they must do this while ensuring their classmates and teachers are not killed (as going back in time cannot bring back the dead), and deal with the many clashes of personality at the same time. The time travel is programed by Jeremy using a time coordinate system (Which he usually limits to going back one day although there are exceptions) as Jeremy is the only one with the intelligence to understand the supercomputer's workings with the exception of Aelita who has to be on Lyoko to de-activate towers. The jump to the past takes back anyone who has been scanned in one of the scanners. Once back in time, they can use their knowledge of the future to alter events in their favor or the favor of others. This usually entails taking steps to keep one of Xana's attacks from taking place, though they do use the knowledge to prevent other unfavorable events that might not be related to Xana, such as the destruction of Jeremy's Kiwi 2 robot in "The Robots". However, as a downside, returning to the past adds a qubit to the supercomputer, doubling its power and therefore Xana's with each use.

FORT COVINGTON - Salmon River Advanced Economics students are giving back to their community this week by helping homeowners re-register for the STAR program.
Students set up computers Wednesday in the Salmon River Elementary School lobby and waited for anyone who needed help. Guided by student assistants, homeowners enter their STAR code and other relevant personal information into an online form. Once registration is complete, the students print a certificate for the homeowner.
The event was the brain-child of teacher Eric Sharlow. When he pitched it to the students, they agreed that it was a good way to help people save money and give back to the community.
I just got mine in the mail, Mr. Sharlow said. I thought about the people in isolation and uncertainty and wanted to help.
New legislation this year requires those receiving Basic STAR exemption to register with the New York state Department of Taxation and Finance. According to their website, homeowners will not have to reregister every year because the DTF will monitor eligibility in the future.
Cynthia King, a representative of the DTF, spoke to the Franklin County Board of Legislators about STAR in mid-September. She explained the point of the new registration is to remove people from the list who should not be receiving Basic STAR.
Theres some untold amount of money going out to ineligible people, Ms. King said.
Fraudulent exemptions have primarily been the result of claims on non-primary residences, sometimes out of state. The new registration will combat this.
Local assessors monitor Basic STAR in their communities, but do not have the ability to know if an individual is receiving STAR in any of the other 1,000 localities statewide, said Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Thomas H. Mattox in a New York State Department of Taxation and Finance news release. This is the first registration in the STAR Programs 15-year history, and it will eliminate inappropriate and fraudulent exemptions.
Across September town boards across the area discussed the registration, expressing worry that some members of their community may be confused and miss the Aug. 19 to Dec. 31 registration window. Seniors over 65 outside New York City have always been required to apply annually, so they have not been affected by the new legislation.
The students at Salmon River will be available to help community members from 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday, Monday and Wednesdat. Future dates and times may be offered based on participation.
Anyone with questions can go to DTFs website or call 518-457-2036.

You try calling Quadratec? They don't list everything online. Plus they can email you pics
"Sometimes you just have to say WTF?"
could you buy replacement latches for a tj and older type jeep? Quadratec and 4wd warehouse sell replacement parts maybe that would work?
Google "bestop door latches" and you'll have several to choose from
Kind of expensive though. I thought about them when I built my 1/2 doors but went a different route.

thanks for the answers, I bought a set of latches from an old vw rabit and they work pretty good, they are similar to the ones used in hot rods, the advantage is that i can get them locally for less than 5 bucks each, and since I'm going to be selling the tube doors its a big advantage. thank you.
I found a small latch online. easy to mount. The only problem is they are intended for a much larger striker, but i just made a quick shim out of plastic tubing, it has to be replaced a few times a summer, but works fine and i didn't have to remove the existing stock striker. It's not pretty, but works. I'll take some pictures of the final product when i get the chance, (The doors have been through a few iterations sense these photos were taken).

In the midst of chaos, keep calm, carry on—and wear your most fabulous fur coat.
That's exactly what Lindsay Lohan has chosen to do. The actress was spotted on set of her upcoming Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, looking gaudy and graceful as she filmed a scene in front of a giant jet with costar Grant Bowler, her onscreen husband.
RELATED: Lindsay Settles Fur Flap
Although Lindsay has dealt with her fair share of controversy lately, you'd never know it. The star was recently hospitalized after totaling her car in a contentious accident on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway and was found unconscious in her Marina del Rey Ritz-Carlton hotel room (her rep says she was "dehydrated" and "exhausted")—both within the past few weeks.
But Lindsay is once again hard at work playing a young Elizabeth Taylor.
As an actress, the show must go on. Right?

Oxnard rallies around Harris Berger, unofficial mayor of G Street, battling cancer
Harris Berger isn't your average brain cancer patient.
Although he's in the middle of receiving eight rounds of chemotherapy over four months at St. John's Regional Medical Center, the Oxnard resident can't wait to get back home after each treatment to, well, decorate.
Berger is known in his historic Oxnard neighborhood as the "unofficial mayor of G Street" for his wizardry of the twinkle lights, mechanical Santas and giant candy canes that festoon his and husband Michael Quick's home during the holidays.
This year, Berger, who turned 57 on Saturday, might not be able to string up the lights himself — he had to hand over the Halloween decorating after a round of chemo left him on a ventilator — but he has commanded a crew of friends and neighbors that offered to help and gathered Saturday to decorate.
"There's been an outpouring of support and generosity," he said. "As horrible as cancer is, this has turned out to be a demonstration of how many people love us."
Having a seizure and then being diagnosed with incurable brain cancer was "scary as hell," but Berger has vowed to keep fighting to prolong his life.
"Cancer's not a death sentence anymore," he said. "It's not in any way easy, but life is not easy."
The retired Merchant Marine chef with a trademark handlebar mustache is sharing his journey through treatment on his Facebook page, which is public, and plans to hold a fundraiser for the hospital's cancer center next summer, when he hopes to be finished with chemo.
Berger had just come to terms with becoming legally blind due to macular degeneration last summer, when he experienced numbness on his entire left side. With fears of a stroke, he was taken to the emergency room, where a CT scan revealed three tumors on the right side of his brain.
A cranioscopy and biopsy in early September found the tumors were cancerous and inoperable.
Berger has primary central nervous system lymphoma, a rare cancer that his oncologist, Dr. Todd Yates, sees once every few years, he said.
The cancer, the cause of which is unknown, is aggressive and without treatment. Patients usually survive a month, he said. With treatment, the average survival rate is just under four years, Yates said.
"Harris is aware of the numbers, but he's got a great attitude and is very upbeat," he said. "He has great support, and they're approaching it in a very positive light."
Quick said the diagnosis has been hard on him as well but that his employer, Bank of America, has given him six weeks off to help care for Berger.
"I'm a firm believer that if he's staying positive, he'll be able to make it maintainable," Quick said. "He's a fighter."
Berger and Quick were among the first gay couples to marry in Ventura County after a state Supreme Court decision in 2008.
Since his chemo began Oct. 1, one of the tumors in Berger's brain has shrunk and is now invisible, and Yates is hopeful the others will do the same. Then Berger will be on a "maintenance" chemo regimen of one treatment every month or so to prevent the growth of the tumors again, Yates said.
"He's off to a really good start," he said.
Berger, meanwhile, is busying himself with holiday planning, in between physical therapy, chemo treatments and visits with supporters.
"Cancer isn't something I would wish on anybody, but this has shown me just the overwhelming love and outpouring of support from people I didn't even know were my friends," he said. "People keep coming by the house offering to help, and it just makes me cry."

Mizon King's Berry Aqua Drink Toner Review
Mizon King's Berry Aqua Drink Toner is one Mizon's King to the Kong products. You can tell by the King's smiling face on the cover can't you? Mizon's very cute King character is one reason I absolutely love this flow of King products lately.
Packaging matters especially when you have a big smiling ape on the box with pouty Angeline Jolie style lips. What's not to love?
But don't be fooled by the cute yet silly packaging as King's Berry Aqua Drink Toner is well worthy of a purchase and gains a Muse Approval.

I have no problem with politicians who want to weigh in, on one side or another, on the issue of marriage. Considering the government is unfortunately the arbitrator of legal marriage, it's a relevant issue. It is stupid, however, for the state to make laws banning behavior that occurs in people's bedrooms. Virginia's antiquated anti-sodomy law was recently struck down, but Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli plans to appeal the ruling:
Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli has filed a petition with the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond asking the full 15-judge court to reconsider a decision by a three-judge panel last month that overturned the state's sodomy law.
The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 on March 12 that a section of Virginia's "Crimes Against Nature" statute that outlaws sodomy between consenting adults, gay or straight, is unconstitutional based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2003 known as Lawrence v. Texas.
A clerk with the 4th Circuit appeals court said a representative of the Virginia Attorney General's office filed the petition on Cuccinelli's behalf on March 26. The petition requests what is known as an en banc hearing before the full 15 judges to reconsider the earlier ruling by the three-judge panel.
With many crucial issues facing Virginia, why is Cuccinelli getting involved in cases like this? The law is outdated and unenforceable, but for some reason the candidate for Governor thinks it's worth making political hay over. I respect people fighting the fight against redefining marriage, but anti-sodomy laws? This is embarrassing.

Anthropomorphic Mouse Taxidermy Course
MadLab (Manchester Digital Laboratory)
Sunday, June 23, 2013 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (BST)
Event Details
Sunday 1 - 5pm
The term taxidermy comes from Latin meaning 'moving skin'. In this 4-hour workshop, students will learn how to skin and stuff a mouse, wire up limbs and learn the basics of preservation.
Anthropomorphic is the attribution of human characteristics onto animals, nature or inanimate objects. Using miniature accessories, students will be encouraged to antropomorphise their mice. Standing, sitting or sleeping, holding a small pipe or book, donning a top hat or a tricorn, we will transform your mice into a fun parody of human life.
Photo credit: Dafydd Owen
About the Course Leader
Shannon Marie Harmon trained in taxidermy at the London Taxidermy Academy, where she now teaches various courses including mouse, hamster, guinea pig, bird, and rabbit taxidermy. Shannon also teaches anthropomorphic mouse courses at The Last Tuesday Society in London. She does taxidermy demonstrations at various parties and events, makes props for museums and theatre productions, and also offers private lessons. Shannon blogs about taxidermy on Of Corpse: Adventures in Taxidermy, as well as sells hand-made vintage-inspired fascinators incorporating victorian-inspired taxidermy at her online shop Forgotten Feline Taxidermy and Couture.

[Player Wannabes: Please pass, go, don't read this article. There is nothing for you here. This is good stuff for Nice and Good Guys Only]
I hope they are gone! Now where were we?
If you are having trouble finding that balance between being sensitive, kind and respectful to women and being a guy that women find attractive and even irresistible, then you are most likely a Nice or Good Guy. You may have read and even tried some of the Aggressive Alpha Male Routines but the better part of you just can't bring yourself to treat women like disposables. So although you love women and in many ways admire some of them, you're finding it hard to break out of the "Nice Guy" funk you're in.
See if this sounds familiar?
A friend made an observation about me that I wasn't aware of. When we go out to a party he tells me that women tell him that I am very attractive but boring. His thinking is that the thing that I do differently from most guys is that I don't put off this 'hunter' vibe or energy that a lot of guys do. It frustrates me greatly because at times I feel that it is a liability that I try to come from a place of integrity and decency, as some guys just say and do what they want, without any regard to the consequences. I guess being respectful and nice is mistaken for boring.
I've only had a couple of good connections with women, and that was a long time ago. What I'm going through now is a period of arrested development. It's as if the sexual component has somehow been taken out of me over the last several years and now I am completely sexually invisible to women.
The one thing I DO feel I lose each time something doesn't work for me is hope --which in turn yields much anger, resentment, and bitterness toward women --it is truly a vicious cycle. Having said that in some ways, I've been a fool to myself and lived in denial about my situation. I think I somehow morphed myself to this place.
Okay, I want to make this clear upfront. The "cool guys" women want to marry are not the "Bad Boys" who are bad for badness sake. You know who -- the dude with a bad kick-ass attitude who walks up to a woman, looks at her up and down with transparent intentions, and moves up on her with the brashness of a 60s' pimp. Yeah - that one with no class and no soul. [Excuse me for going off again. I just can't hide my dislike for players and their wannabes].
Many women worth the time of the day [unlike one night stand types] can't stand these guys either. Their dream guy is the sensitive, caring, respectful and thoughtful guy with a sprinkle of "Bad Boy" traits.
[I see the look... but whatever!]
Whether you accept it or not, many women are attracted to certain traits -- most abundant in Bad Boys and which often Bad Boys deliver. There is simply no denying it!
But what is it exactly that turns women on and why? Chances are that you, Mr. Nice Guy/Good Guy has all these "Bad Boys" traits -- and don't realize how truly "bad" you are.
1: A Bad Boy sets his own rules
You must feel like you're being ostracized by society because you do not fit the bill of what is considered "Alpha Male". And I am sure that makes you feel constantly judged to a standard you can never measure up to. Most bad boys grew up feeling like they just don't "fit in the box" either. The difference between a Bad Boy and a Nice Guy (like you) is that he has learned to survive in a tough world that constantly judges him and rejects him because he doesn't meet society's standard of a "good boy".
TIP 1 - Set your own dating rules and walk to the beat of your own drum. Women, like all other animals find those of the opposite sex who display great survival skills to be superior. Seeing a man wake up every morning, stand strong, stake his claim, take his chances, put his life on the line even in hostile environments is just sexy to the dizzy limit. It shows that you have your life together and enjoy being alive.
2: A Bad Boy is nobody's punk and nobody's pawn
One of the reasons you're labeled a Nice Guy is because you respect women and treat them with the respect they so rightly deserve (hopefully). It's the reason -- you've been told-- women leave you for Bad Boys. That's so true. But what you may not have been told is that, women want to be respected and treated with respect but they don't find doormats attractive -- doormats are for dusting off our shoes.
TIP 2 - Stand up for yourself --sometimes -- look her in the eye and draw the line in the sand when you have to. A steely core that is not easily manipulated and is uncompromising about the things that matter is attractive -- very. But this should not be something you do like a whiny victim but something you do calmly, rationally and assertively -- and on things that actually matter.
3: A Bad Boy does not pretend to be a saint
We know you are the "good" guys. You don't have to try so hard to prove just how "good" you are. That puppy-like ("please, please, love me") trying so hard to please is too good to a fault. There is only so much "sweetness" that a woman can take before she throws up -- or blows up.
TIP 3 - Just be real with us, that's all we ask. The "romantic saint" act gets so old real quick. We want to see that you accept yourself as you are -- the good, bad and ugly. A guy who accepts himself as he is, is unlikely to critic our own errors, stumbles, weaknesses, scars, and warts so harshly because he knows he is not perfect either.
4: A Bad Boy is never afraid to stand up for what he believes is right
If you are a Nice Guy (not angry and all that), there must be a part of you that strongly believes in right and wrong, that is why you find it hard to treat women in a mean and degrading manner. It's just plain wrong, right? Now whether you agree with bad boys' sense of right and wrong or not, you've got to give it up for these guys for sticking with it. Having the conviction to do what one believes is right no matter the cost is probably one of the most attractive traits - ever!
TIP 4 - Stand up for us -- all of the time. Every woman (even those who claim to be independent and self-reliant) wants to know that her man will stand up for her if someone tries to mess with her (even if it's monster-in-law). Seeing you in the "protector" role makes her feel "safe" with you and around you ["Safe" is good when she feels it but bad when you are playing it].
5: A Bad Boy can handle ANY situation
Nice Guys and responsible guys are synonymous. That's a good thing. But don't be responsible on some things and disappear like a quid in ink when it comes to making the tough decisions. We want to make our own decisions but it doesn't feel right for us to be making all the tough decisions and you just follow what we say without any useful input or challenge. If we decide we want a dog, we'll get ourselves one, but when we want a man in the house, we mean A MAN in the house.
TIP 5 - Step up and take charge of tough situations. Suggest solutions; come up with new ideas and make things happen. It's nice sometimes to have someone else make the tough decisions, and take action without being told, ordered or nagged into it. If you can't be the kind of MAN we want, it's hard for us to be the kind of woman you are looking for. We like our men confident and capable. It's that simple.
6: A Bad Boy never tries to avoid the painful consequences of his own actions
One quality we women like about most Nice Guys is that they are sensitive - always thinking about the consequences of their words and actions. The negative side to this is that many of you are also depressingly too cautious, emotionally timid and overly anxious -- always wondering when or what will set us off. We appreciate the sensitivity -- but we don't want too much of it.
TIP 6 - Stop acting like the victim in all situations. If there is a tangle of emotions that need to be addressed, then confront it directly. She may whine a bit, but at the end of the day you dealt with it and for that she'll respect you more. Changing how you think from a fear-based/pessimistic style to a self-empowered/optimistic one can even help move you out of your own depression.
7: A Bad Boy has several twists and turns (and a few surprises)
If there is anything women know about Nice Guys it's that they are reliable and consistent. They are also so consistently predictable that we can almost read their (boring) minds. When one knows everything, there is nothing left to discover. No more surprises, no more wonder, no more passion.
TIP 7 - Be consistent -- consistently intriguing. Throw in some mix, shake things up a little and do something unexpected and unpredictable. When you're like a romance novel; action-packed and have enough delicious suspense, intrigue, excitement and passion to keep a woman turning the pages, we hang unto your every word because we know that with every page we turn, we always discover feelings (and skills) in ourselves that we were previously unaware of.
8: A Bad Boy believes in himself - and his sex appeal
Our society has somehow succeeded in divorcing "Nice Guys" from their sexuality: where good =boring, bad =sexy. What we now have are men who want to be seen as "good men" but are afraid and even feel guilty and ashamed of their own sexual nature. You know what I mean -- you see other guys as better looking, sexier and more attractive, but you... never good enough. Bad Boys have none of that. They do not compare themselves with "Good Guys" or try to be who they are not. They love being the "bad" guys.
TIP 8 - Stop the comparison game and start believing in yourself. Nice/good guys are quality boyfriend/husband material - and you better believe that. In fact repeat after me, "I Am A Good Catch!" Say it to yourself even if you're not feeling particularly very lively or courageous, "I Am A Good Catch!" You may not be the best looking or slickest guy in town but you have a good heart, a healthy mind and good energy. Give yourself permission to exude inner strength, confidence, and self-assuredness. There is nothing sexier than a man who believes in himself and is not afraid to unleash his unique individual sex appeal.
You are not going to live forever, why not go out with a huge smile on your face. Hmm?

OGJ Correspondent
PARIS, Oct. 20 -- There was an "unprecedented drop" in crude imports through Fos-sur-Mer on the French Riviera in September due to an earlier rupture of a Societe de Pipeline du Sud-Ouest oil pipeline connecting the port with Karlsruhe, Germany.
Officials said 4,000 cu m of oil spilled when the underground pipeline burst Aug. 7 on the edge of France's Camargue national park. As a result, oil imports for French refineries fell 41% while imports for foreign refineries dropped 61%. Matters should not improve before mid-December, SPSO spokeswoman Laure Carougeau told OGJ.
The crude shortage has impacted petrochemicals at Total SA's 119,000 b/d Feyzin refinery in the Rhone Valley and at Petro plus Holdings AG's 68,000-b/d Cressier refinery in Switzerland where productions fell to a minimum. Production completely ceased at Petroplus's 77,000-b/d Reichstett refinery in the North of France. Germany's Karlsruhe refinery was also impacted.
Esso Raffinage SA, whose Fos refinery takes its crude directly through its own pipeline, did not suffer any crude shortage, spokesman Emmanuel de Grandrut told OGJ.
Refined products trade through Fos dropped in September by 17%, but this was due to the economic downturn. LPG traffic also fell by 6%. Only LNG trade, despite a 9% drop of imports in September, posted a cumulated 9-month growth of 16%.

WiFi A Manger at Pret A Manger – Free WiFi with your coffee at Pret
Next Story
Twitter Humiliates MySpace
As of today coffee chain Pret A Manger is offering consumers free WiFi in 60 stores in the UK, with all its 130 stores expected to be WiFi-d up in December. After a six-month trial, they selected The Cloud to provide the access, which will be "restriction free". This will make a change from having to hunt down paid-for WiFi in places like Starbucks, which has a deal with T-Mobile. MacDonalds provides WiFi in many UK stores already, but it looks like Pret is the first national coffee chain to move on free WiFi. Handy for startups…
