In my opinion I think it depends on the individual, I think it depends on the artists eyes and a degree in photography is just training and the tools that one uses only makes achieving the vision easier if you have the most expensive camera and photo shop and know how to use them you run in to much less problems when trying to capture a vision or moment. If you are a photographer with the minimal equipment and exsperiance but you have just as good as a creative eye as any of the other photographers I believe one can achieve the same outcomes but will run into complications like exsposhure of the photograph, sharpness and depth but if you have a knack for it you can overcome complications like that its just more work. If you have minimal resourses but are comfortable with your own setup then I beleive it Is possible to produce work that is "professional" its just a matter of how you want to go about it if you want to sel your photographs you may need more resources like size and format to be able to publish them for a buyer because most do not except the regular jpg format and some do.I think its really more in depth then people relize. You could have a brilliant photographer but he only uses certain cameras that he is used to...old new equipment does not matter because there are all different types of photographers some just have the resources to achieve more of what they invisiona and some are simple.what matters is they successfully achieve their goal and are happy with the art they are producing even for a "happy holiday snapper" Ive been into photography since I was in 7th grade and started out with a point and shoot camera(digital) and the most minimal equipment but that was what drew me into photography was the creativeness behind the camera much well related to film. I remember exsploring new DIY ways to spread light and create the image i invisioned as apposed to having all the proper equipment at my figure tips. Eventually i moved up and went to college for photography and when i got to use all the fancy i was able to puh my creativeness further because i had that equipment for a moment. I did not have my own camera because the professional dslr cameras were to exspensive for me at the time so i had to rent the schools cameras and sometimes use my own point and shoot camera( a digital camera that was not a dslr) and was still able to keep up with my cassmates even though some of them had parents who were photographers, they were able to produce easyily professional photographs just as i was with my crap camera ahah. In that class there were all kinds of photographers each had there own way and style but each producing equally good photographs(most of the time). I met photographers with old cameras who took spectacular photographs and i met photographers with exseptional exuipment but not the most creative eye when it came to composition..So all in all it depends on the person is what im trying to say.

drain clogged
2 Attachment(s)
I have an American Standard 5 Ton gas furnace installed in 2005. In 2007 I replaced the plumbing under the unit because the drain pipes were in bad condition. Last week we had water all over a hardwood floor and I noticed the unit was clogged again. I took the tops off the 3/4" pvc drain line and used my wet vac to suck the water, used drano and it appears to be fine now.
How do I take the cover off to look at the drain pan and coils? It is inside n my closet. So much room LOL
Model TXC060C5HPCO
Why did you use draino near a GAS furnace... You could have blew yourself up.
I used it under the unit where the drain plug is in the floor NOT by the unit

Independent MP Tony Windsor may consider trying to register Clive Palmer's United Australia Party himself, if it turns out there is a conspiracy afoot to prevent Mr Palmer from using the name.
Mr Windsor has expressed suspicions about the motives of a rival party – the Uniting Australia Party – which lodged an application for party registration with the Australian Electoral Commission in March.
The member for New England says that there is little public detail about the group and has questioned whether one of the major parties is in fact behind it.
While Mr Windsor is not considering joining forces with Mr Palmer at the ballot box, he says he wants to protect the rights of all Australians to run for office.
Mr Palmer announced last month that he was reforming the United Australia Party, which was dissolved in 1945, and would run candidates in every lower house seat and Senate spot at the federal election. But his grand plan has hit one potential snag as the Electoral Act prohibits the registration of parties that have names similar to that of other parties, which they say may confuse voters.
In a press conference in Melbourne on Friday, Mr Palmer would not be drawn when asked what he thought about Mr Windsor helping his party.
''Tony Windor was someone who was faced with a difficult decision – he had to decide on Julia Gillard, he had to decide on Tony Abbott. I couldn't make that decision, it would be a dead heat for me,'' he said.
Mr Palmer has previously dismissed suggestions that he may not be able to use the United Australia Party name, arguing he owns the trademark.
But it is understood he has raised concerns with Mr Windsor that the Uniting Australia Party may be a stalking horse.
''About eight months ago Mr Palmer had the United Australia Party trademarked and announced his intentions in the media. Less than two months ago, the 'Uniting' Australia Party sprang into existence and was the first to lodge its application for registration [thereby] possibly blocking Mr Palmer's party as the names are too similar,'' Mr Windsor said on Thursday. ''I just smell a rat here and my rat smelling capacity is not bad.''
Mr Windsor, who met Mr Palmer for the first time last week, said he was concerned about the democratic process and the major parties' desire to keep ''other players out of the game''.
''[Mr Palmer] has a right to stand,'' Mr Windsor said. ''He's got as much right as I have.'' The independent member for New England said that if there was ''substantive'' evidence that one of the major parties was trying to hinder Mr Palmer, he would look at ways of helping him.
This could include Mr Windsor applying to register the United Australia Party himself as a ''parliamentary party'' as opposed a ''political party''. Parliamentary parties can register with just one sitting member of parliament, while political parties require at least 500 members. At this stage, Mr Windsor has had conflicting advice as to whether this approach would work.
If he did register the party, it is understood he would then resign his membership. While Mr Windsor has been approached about joining the United Australian Party, he has declined and says he will remain an independent.
On Thursday, Uniting Australia Party secretary John Smith strongly rejected the conspiracy claims as ''rubbish''.
Mr Smith – a semi-retired electrical engineer from Queensland – said he formed the party in March 2012 and that he had been thinking about the idea for a year before that.
''I felt that both Labor and the Liberal Party were taking the country in the wrong direction,'' he said. ''I just got sick of complaining.''
He rejected the suggestion that his party was associated with another major party.
''I'm not affiliated with any party at all,'' he said, adding that he had never been a member of another political party.
He said that most of the party's 700 members had similarly never been members of other parties.
Mr Smith said the party had policies around stopping the selling of Australian agricultural land to foreign buyers, increasing the age pension and stopping the ''lifelong perks'' to former prime ministers and MPs.
Mr Smith said he expected the party's registration application to be completed within two to three weeks, adding that the party's name had already been passed by the AEC.
He said about 70 per cent of his party's membership was from Queensland with the rest coming from NSW, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Members ranged in age from 18 to 90.
The party is hoping to run six candidates in Queensland, at least one in the Northern Territory and some in NSW and Victoria.
On Friday, while in Mr Windsor's electorate with Coalition candidate Barnaby Joyce, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said he was not aware of any attempts to stop Mr Palmer from registering his party.
Mr Abbott told reporters in Tamworth that anyone was entitled to run for election and to start a political party, but said that the only way to ''change the government'' was to vote for the Coalition.
Senator Joyce, who is challenging Mr Windsor for his seat, had this message for his opponent: ''Please do not put the people of New England on the Titanic. Even if it's only just for a couple of weeks.''

The streets were bordered with walls of piled up snow. We had gathered with a group of international exchange students at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, BC. Quite a few in the group, coming from more exotic countries and being hosted more in the south of the international Canadian/USA Rotary district 5080, had never seen snow before. Needless to say that our well organised trips to Yoho National Park and Lake Louise didn't progress at all: apart from our habit to pile up for yet another group picture every 5 meters, we also had to catch up a life time of snow ball fights. After some hot tub fun we braved outside in our swimsuits to make bold jumps into the piles of snow outside only to race back into the hot tub afterwards and feel the melting snow on our body burn for a few seconds after which the entire process could be repeated with lots of giggles. The local hosting Rotarians watched our snow hysteria with an amazed smile.
These few exchange student weekends were some of the highlights of the exchange student experience: put a group of 17-18 year old students from all over the world and you get a great party. A room full of international diversity, yet all bonded by the experience of settling in in a foreign country far away from home.
That evening the hosting Rotary club had invited a local band to play to us in the gym in which we were camping. Somehow the band didn't really get the party going. With hindsight, we did not really seem in the mood for the offered entertainment in the too big gym while we simply wanted to hang out and create our own party. As soon as the little concert was over, we all digged up our own cassette tapes (gosh where did time fly?) with our own music from home. While in Canada rock , country etc were the common styles (Alanis Morissette yeaaaah), the Europeans and Latin-Americans were desperate for some electronic beats. We had been deprived of our own music and sharing the big hits from our home countries together, got us all on the dance floor instantaneously.
I let the beats invade my body, enjoyed the dancing bodies around me and felt back at a high school party back home. I just jumped around, up and down, eyes closed, to the beat. No silly need here to dance with a 'date' , just me and the music, in circles, on and on, totally taken by the rhythm.
Then all a sudden a flare of pain ran through my body...ouch, stupid me, I had blindly jumped on the lock of the open guitar case from the band that was still cleaning up. Oh well, I did a bit of cursing, and figured some more dancing on one leg would help me forget the painful heel. This time I kept my eyes open: jumping/dancing around on one leg needed more coordination and after all, I didn't want to jump another time one something sharp.
After a while I realised there was blood on the floor. There were blood drups all over....all over the area where I had been making my silly jumps. I had been a bit on the outside of the dancefloor so .....so...I looked down my heel and saw it dripping red. Ouchhh, I immediately became aware of the pain I was suffering.
With some stressed little jumps , I made my way to the fairly young chaperone , showing my bleeding foot. Cautiously we peelled off my bloody sock, revealing the nice big cut through my heel. I could see the panic in her eyes: this is not what she had in mind of chaperoning a group of youngsters in a gym by sleeping over with us. She and her little brother were alone with us this time a night and they could not leave us behind.
"It's ok, it's probably not that bad, maybe we can just put a bandaid on it", I claimed because I really didn't want to leave the group and miss the party. When 2 minutes later the soaked bandaid fell on the floor as well, she started phoning around and looked more and more stressed at me.
Fifteen minutes later her dad showed up at the gym and since I could not put my shoe on, neither could I hop through the piles of snow outside, I got carried out on the man's back to the car and we drove off to the ER of the local small hospital.
When we arrived there, the district Rotary management in a nearby meeting, had already shown up, alarmed that one of the students had been taken to the hospital.
"What happened to you?"
"Euh, nothing, we were just having a good party. It is great fun, can we hurry up please so I can go back?"
They actually laughed, probably relieved I was not seriously ill or injured in a teenage riot or so.
And so after a while I went back, on painkillers and with a glued heel, ready to go back on the dance floor until bedtime. I tiptoed in lose shoes for the next 3 weeks but I had great fun at our improvised gym party.
I remembered this story again a few weeks ago when there was lots of snow in early December. We went to a christmas party from Jan's work, where I had great fun on the dance floor, all drugged up to keep my nasty cold under control ...Aaah getting lost in music is the best cure for anything!

City Digs Out After Snowstorm
New York, NY —
People around the New York area spent Sunday digging out after the first big snowstorm of the season, which dropped about a foot of snow in the city, and nearly double that on parts of Long Island and in areas of New Jersey, and led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights at the area's three major airports.
REPORTER: The city's Department of Sanitation says crews managed to clear all primary routes Saturday night and are working on smaller streets Sunday. Mayor Bloomberg said the timing of the storm has been a big help.
BLOOMBERG: Given that it was on a weekend, we are able to plow and salt and shovel without a lot of extra traffic. And so Monday morning will be slushy and cold slippery -- be careful -- but everything, we think, will be passable.
REPORTER: The mayor says public schools will be open tomorrow. Alternate side parking rules will be suspended for snow removal. There won't be any garbage or recycling pickup until at least Tuesday. The mayor says city retailers weren't hard hit by the storm Saturday, because the snow held off until late in the day. He's encouraging residents and visitors to take advantage of possible cancelations by seeing a Broadway show.

Tornado– Up Close and Personal
Our neighborhood looked like a junk yard, with trees and branches strewn about, splinters poking up at odd angles. stones and leaves and underbrush underfoot and across the roads. These are just a few of the hundred photos I took, all on and around our property:
Electrical power lines that had fallen still lay mangled where they fell. The ground bore tire prints of a bulldozer that had entered and retreated, entered and retreated. Huge cylinders of tree trunks that had already been cut lay next to each other, moved just off the road so that cars could pass. The scent of raw wood hung everywhere.
We did not recognize our own road, except by our mangled mailbox on the corner:
Our property suffered less damage than the dozen other properties along our little penninsula. An immense oak tree had fallen on our deck, the deck my father built eighteen years ago. Another tree dug into the edge of the garage roof. Our pier was intact and only our boat cover was damaged. The second picture (of the house) was taken from the pier.
Most of our neighbors had trees through roofs, boats overturned or missing, and/or piers ripped out of the shore.
Some people had been sleeping when the trees fell on their houses, and they slept through it! Some people had awakened, terrified, and listened to trees falling around them. The sound was like "a barrage of gunshots."
The wind seemed to haved dug into the ground and ripped the trees out from below their roots:
After we got over the shock, Mom and I worked like donkeys, raking and gathering debris and scattering it deep into the woods. Then, we ran around the city getting estimates for tree removal, deck reconstruction, and boat cover replacement.
The work took three full days. Between teardrops and sore muscles, we gave thanks to Allah for the blessings He'd given us all these years– the lovely summer days, the family gatherings, the friends and relatives who'd shared it all with us, and the hope of more such blessings.
The landscape has been profoundly altered, and cannot be restored except by time and nature. Still, much beauty remains:
Monthly Archives: July 2008
My family's summer vacation home, on a large lake four hours drive from our main home, needs repair. Last week a tornado tore through our small lane, ripping up trees and tossing them everywhere. Our property was damaged, but our neighbor's properties suffered worse damage.
Tomorrow I will leave with Mom to go there, assess the damage, and meet with the insurance adjuster. Since we have no internet connection, I will be out of touch for at least five days. I'll bring back some photographs.
Alhumdullilah that no one was hurt, and that the damage is repairable.
Creative Photography
Creative Photography
Recently I bought a new camera. While learning how to use it I took dozens of photos that were out of focus, badly composed, underexposed, and not worthy of holding space on my hard drive. I deleted a dozen of them before I realized I could edit them, play with them, apply filters and distortions, change color saturation, lighting, etc., and end up with something totally different from the original, and much nicer to view! Here is one of my creations:
This started out as a green vine against a tree stump.
Here's another:
This one started out as a tree trunk with some plants growing around it.
I've got lots of photos of my grandkids. They are very hard to photograph because they move around constantly, and when they see the camera, they close their eyes because they know a flash is coming!
The kid photos make for interesting creative effects. Here's one that started out too ordinary to keep:
My daughter is sitting with her daughter on a swing. My daughter refused to smile. She she made an ugly face and thought she ruined the photograph, but she didn't!
I've done some realistic ones, too. This is one of my favorite flowers, the fuchsia:
Last week, a thunderstorm approached mid-morning. The sky became dark as night, yet the sunlight still shone in the distance. I went outside and took a few photos to capture the effect. Here is my favorite:
I suppose I'll have to start a Flickr account now, like those of you who have inspired me to try creative photography. You know who you are: ~W~, Unique, Aafke, Shahrzad, Susie! I've already got nearly one hundred photos, and they're all different, some of them not even in purple or green!
Sharing the Truth
One of my readers has engaged me in an interesting conversation about religion. You can read it on Your Page. I would like to take this conversation to other readers. I'd like to hear other viewpoints. This topic has been discussed before, but it's one that usually stirs the pot whenever it is raised.
Do you believe in "sharing the truth"? Do you feel so secure in your spiritual beliefs that you are not reluctant to tell people about it? Do you believe in evangelizing?
Do You Want to Know How I Got Rid of Them?
"Do You Want to Know How I Got Rid of Them?"
At first, I tried chemicals. Raid was readily available at the corner convenience store, in several formulas aimed at various vermin. Cockroaches weren't the only pests in the buildings. Other brands also competed at eye-level on the shelves. I realized the problem was widespread.
One morning I opened my kitchen cabinet and found a big cockroach sitting in the middle of my breakfast bowl, rotating its feelers, as if offering itself up in sacrifice for my breakfast. The Raid had worn off. I shrieked and dropped the bowl, giving the roach an escape route.
I pulled everything from every cabinet in the kitchen, cleaned and wiped all the little spaces between boards and doors and wall. On a whim, I picked up a roll of gray industrial tape that I'd left on the counter the day before. I stuck lengths of tape over the openings in which I expected roaches might hide. For the next week I kept vigil over the cabinets, opening them several times a day just to surprise any cockroach that thought he had privacy in there. The surprise was on me, however, because I did not see a single roach anywhere!
I phoned Asma to tell her about my new approach.
At first, I taped only the insides of cabinets and closets. When I realized how efficient the method was— far better than chemicals, which reek and then stop working— I taped other areas of the apartment. Over time I perfected the technique, learning how to choose the narrowest width needed, and how to apply it straight, without wrinkles. I sent my husband out for three more rolls of industrial strength silver tape.
Once that tape stuck, there was no ripping it off. Even a thumb-sized cockroach could not emerge from behind it. I taped door frames, baseboards, stoop, and window frames. I did a neat job so it wouldn't look industrial. An imaginative person could have looked at the strips and thought they were a decorative statement.
My most significant accomplishment was taping the bathroom. This technique evolved over several years of vacations, because while we were abroad, all cockroaches knew it, and gave themselves carte blanche to move in and set up housekeeping. They liked the bathroom best, even better than the kitchen.
I simply taped every crack and orifice I could find. Each year, the roaches would find new ones, and each year, I'd tape up the new ones. The bathroom actually became a room of visual delight, what with strips and squares of silver tape lining seams and covering holes. I should have photographed it.
The day we'd leave for vacation, I'd save the bathroom taping for last. At the last minute, after the luggage had been taken out and the kids were whining, "Mom, come on," I would tape the entire toilet lid and seat cover where they met the bowl.
When the entire bathroom looked ready to board the plane with us, we were ready to leave. Later, while listening to the drone of the jet engines, I would turn my attention to all the neat stories I'd tell the people back home. I would stop worrying about cockroaches, secure in the hope that I'd foiled the yearly immigration. I wondered whether I'd be able to boast of my lovely taping to anyone in the States. No, probably not. I wondered if I might at least meet someone with whom I could share my favorite movie, Joe's Apartment.
I did! My mom loved it; we laughed like kids. My sister, however, didn't last beyond Joe's first infestation.

Hi from Wales - UK
Hi All,
Came across this forum while searching for info on my potential next purchase.
I'm considering a 4L LPG or 4.7 LPG conversion grand cherokee over here in the UK as I've got two vehicles pretty close to where I live at a reasonable price which are already converted.
The car will also be my daily drive as I only have to do about 12 miles a day for work and drop the kids off etc.
The cars are 2001/2 models and a friend in work had the 4L standard cherokee and that was good for pulling his pretty large boat.
With a young family I think I've got to lose my VW T4 and start pulling a van so I'm really interested in getting one pretty soon.
Any advice is really welcome as I've got a bit of a budget to stick to and the 4L comes with a 6 month warranty so so far it wins over the 4.7L private sale.
Best Regards,
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
my bias leans towards the 4.0 (4L). It is slow. But if you want fast buy something different. It is super easy to maintain, you will find very few SUVs where the oil (drain/filter) and spark plugs are as accessible as these motors. Great history of reliability. Make sure the water pump has been serviced before purchase. Basically water pump, and rear axle seals are the 2 main checks. Itll be fairly loud, but will do you good for yrs to come. Keep the oil clean and the antifreeze/coolant fresh.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
I've owned both a 4.0L Cherokee (1998) and currently a 2004 4.7L Grand Cherokee. The difference in power and performance between the 4.0 and the 4.7 is huge. If you plan on doing any towing, I'd suggest the 4.7. It's also a lot more fun to drive. The 4.0, while bulletproof and super easy to work on, it's underpowered in my opinion. Drive them both and see for yourself. The 4.0 is a tank of a motor if maintained. People see huge mileage numbers out of that engine. I've got 90k on my 4.7 and no issues either. Gas mileage is the same in the I6 and the V8 too. Actually, my 4.7L gets better mileage than my 4.0 used to...so it's a tough choice. Accessibility on the V8 is good too. I've had no issues doing plugs or any other peripheral type of engine work/maintenance on either engine.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Welcome to the garage.
Never owned a 4.0 I6, but have heared good things about it. It is coupled to a 4 speed transmission (the 42RE) which is of an older design then the 5-45RFE (5 speed) of the V8.
Gas milage is the same or even better for the V8, but the V8 will give you quite some more power. I had an oil consumption problem on my V8, but after changing the valve stem seals that was solved. Very good and strong engine which will perform well when the normal maintenance is done on time.
Some weak points of the WJ itself, check if the heating works on drivers and passengers side and also if AC works. Blend doors of the automatic AC system are known to break and to replace them the whole dash has to be removed, so expensive repair. Also the window regulators tend to break on many WJ's. I have now 180.000 km on my WJ and nor the blend doors nor the window regulators have given any problems (sofar). Mine has a problem with the 5-45RFE transmission at the moment and i'm rebuilding it, but that was more a problem of our local mechanics who don't know what they are doing......:mad:.
For the rest a perfect car.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
The 42 RE trans is definitely the weak link on the 4.0. They can and most likely will self destruct at anytime once you get past the 120k mark. I've had both a 46re and a 42re die at around 140k not towing anything.They're pretty cheap to rebuild but the down time can be a killer.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Many thanks for all the information folks.
I'm test driving the 4L later today and will let you know how it goes.
It'll only be for occasional towing so reliability will be the main selling point as I have a young family to move around.
If it was just for me I'd be with the V8 any day :thumbsup:
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Not good news Im afraid :(
I test drove the 4L and at first everything seemed fine. Under the bonnet just a small bead of oil around h/gasket area.
I set off with a gentle pace until I came to a straight then booted it to make sure it kicked down the gears.
The temp went up over 12 o'clock, maybe 3/4s and the engine light came on and wouldn't go out. The garage seemed surprised :rolleyes:
Do you reckon walk away from this one??
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Walk, nah....
Run like hell!!!! :lol:
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
no good friend. Talking at best failed water pump, probably failed head gasket, and most severe possibility; cracked heads form overheat. These are problems associated but not limited to servicing water pump in a timely fashion (ie: as soon as it overheats 1st time.) This is a great example of a 4.0 maintenance issue. Stay away from overheating 4.0s.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Run for the hills mate, pen y fan even!
Too many of these vehicles haven't been well maintained over here, so I can't say I'm surprised. You struck lucky finding out beforehand though.
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Cheers folks,
I'll stay well away from this one. Maybe I'll get away with a V8 without telling the wife :)
Funny that the garage said they had no worries just ploddin about with it but hey ho. Not for me.
Thanks again for the advice.
Best regards and smooth running.
Paul. :thumbsup:
@stonecold - just up the road from here mate is the hill, lovely place!!
Re: Hi from Wales - UK
Not when you're half way up with a fully laden bergen it isn't lol.
Go with the V8! You're doing roughly the same mileage as me ( I do a little more and am very heavy footed) and I'm around £50-£60 per week in petrol.

The toilet is a stand-alone system that can be used without the need of running water. The toilet uses the natural process of decomposition and evaporation to convert human waste into useful fertilizing soil. To simulate residential use, the Excel was tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) at maximum capacity for 6 continuous months, during which the Excel produced no odor and produced clean, safe compost. Electrical units feature high quality blower fans, thermostaticly controlled heaters and a 2" vent stack which acts like the chimney on a wood stove.

Pasha's Perspective: Getting It Done Any Way We Can
May 14, 2014
Nathan Pasha a junior from Atlanta on the men's tennis team. He will be writing a blog exclusively for Georgiadogs.com throughout the 2014 season.
Hi Bulldog Nation! I wanted to check in one more time before we begin our journey in the NCAA round of 16 and (hopefully) beyond this week in Athens!
Unfortunately, I was unable to compete with the exception of one doubles match in NCAA regionals because of a knee injury, but we were able to advance to the round of 16 regardless. We have dealt with adversity as a team in spurts throughout the spring, so my absence in the first two round of NCAAs wasn't a huge deal to anyone on the team. My teammates have done what they have been doing all year when adversity strikes, which is to step up and embrace a bigger role when called upon. My injury caused for everyone on the team besides Austin Smith to slide up one spot in the lineup and face tougher opponents than they may have otherwise.
Our first and second round matches against Jacksonville State and NC State were challenges, for sure. We had a quick doubles point against Jacksonville State, winning at lines 2 and 3 with scores of 8-2 and 8-3. After doubles, we raced to three quick singles wins. Garrett Brasseaux was first off the court at line 2 with a 6-0,6-0 win (our first match by this score all season!). Austin Smith gave us our second point at line 1 with a 6-4, 6-2 victory, and Nick Wood clinched the match winning 6-1, 6-1.
Our match against NC State was intense, and most of the guys on the team really benefited in this dual match by moving a spot higher in the line up and facing stiffer competition. My injury also forced Austin Smith and Eric Diaz to move from 3 doubles to 2 doubles, and Nick and Garrett to team up for the first time ever at 3 doubles. Our doubles point came from wins at 1 and 3 doubles. Ben and Hernus won at line 1, 8-5. They continue to play at a very high level, and I honestly always feel like they will win every match they play, which is a great feeling! They are one of the most exciting doubles teams in college to watch. If you are coming to watch us play on Friday and love exciting doubles, I highly recommend you sit behind their court! Nick and Garrett won 8-2. For their first time playing together, they played awfully well. Nick and Garrett are a very good returning doubles team, which explains why they broke their opponents multiple times and won the way they did.
Everyone had challenging matches in singles against the Wolfpack. Half of the singles matches went to 3 sets, and the other half were close, competitive two setters. Ben Wagland gave us a 2-0 lead on line 3 with a 6-3, 6-3 win. Ben's match was highly challenging despite the score. Ben only won by 1 break of serve in each set. Garrett Brasseaux gave us a 3-0 lead with at line 2 with a 6-3, 7-6(5) win. Garrett's second set was highly competitive. His opponent raised his game and forced Garrett to take the match. Austin clinched at 1 with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 win. Austin wasn't satisfied with his level of play. He told me after the match that he didn't play very well, but he figured out a way to win. Great players don't always play well, but they find ways to win, and Austin did exactly that to give our team the win!
Watching from the sidelines wasn't easy for me last weekend, but I am very happy for my teammates that benefited from playing better competition, which will prepare them for what is to come. I think that it will help them play at a higher level when we face UNC on Friday. We hope to see all of our fans at the match!! Your support truly makes our NCAA a memorable, unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Pasha and the Bulldogs continue tournament play this Friday, May 16, at 4 PM vs. UNC.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
No. 4
Carl H. Lindner
Last year's rank: No. 55, Cincinnati, Ohio, $536,000 (with wife, Edyth)
Lindner, 79, is the CEO of Chiquita Brands International.
If Chiquita Brands International wasn't already the acknowledged heavyweight in the banana market, it is now, thanks to the Cincinnati Enquirer's 18-page investigation last May into allegedly questionable business practices in Chiquita's Central American operations.
The new reputation for muscle, however, comes less from the allegations of dubious land deals, cover-ups, and poor treatment of plantation workers than from CEO Carl Lindner's don't-mess-with-me response. After Chiquita got wind of the Enquirer's investigation, it alerted its lawyers (none other than Kenneth Starr's law firm, Kirkland & Ellis) to run interference. Then, just eight weeks after publication, the Enquirer retracted the report by running three front-page apologies, firing reporter Michael Gallagher, and agreeing to pay a cash settlement in excess of $10 million. Lindner and his company emerged thoroughly vindicated.
After all, the Cincinnati business titan has a reputation to protect -- in addition to Chiquita, Lindner's holding company, American Financial Group, includes Great American Insurance; he is a minority owner of the Cincinnati Reds; and he is a majority owner in Provident Bank. Along with his generosity to certain social causes, universities, and museums (it's difficult to spit in Cincinnati without hitting a building with his name on it), Lindner is a longtime political giver, and he doesn't take risks. Despite his conservative leanings, he invests in both parties. From January 1997 through August of this year, he and his wife, Edyth, gave $360,000 to Republicans and $176,000 to Democrats.
No doubt this political largesse hasn't hurt Lindner's banana empire. In 1996, with the support of the Republican Congress, then-U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor brought a formal complaint before the World Trade Organization against the European Union, alleging that its banana quota system violated global trade accords. The quotas, implemented in 1993, required EU countries to import bananas from their former Caribbean colonies. Chiquita has blamed net losses of more than $350 million since '92 in part on its restricted access to the EU market.
Last year, under continued pressure from the United States, the WTO ruled against the EU (which has argued that the quotas are vital to the Caribbean economies) and said it must comply with the new standards by 1999.

I'm bumping on this one, I'll be very interested too to have a plugin to browse Deviantart but best of all, a screensaver plugin based on a search query made to Deviantart.
I started roaming and I started to gather ressources ...
For a Deviantart Picture Plugin :
- nice Flickr Plugin from Ruuk, available on his REPO
- the clean Deviantart API using oEmbed (same as Flickr) and RSS (for searches)
For the Deviantart Screensaver Slideshow Plugin :
- still Ruuk code, he made a screensaver (screensaver.plugin.slideshow), available on his REPO
- and also code from the standard XBMC Slideshow here : https://code.google.com/p/ronie/source/b...253Dclosed
Now ... just need to find someone patient and skilled enough to mix all this

+1 for Deviant art addon.
Or maybe someone can make merged picture addon, with many image sites in it?
Or with customized source profiles or something, where user can enter custom site address/login info if necessary.

+1 For this!
I'm Suprised This Is Not Been Made For Kodi Already!
I think I've seen it available on a Reddit Reader fork here:
But I have no idea how to use it!
I think this would be a great feature for KODI!
ESPECIALLY For Kodi Backgrounds!

Let's see how the cable news channels cover this one: A "secret report" by the International Atomic Energy Agency suggests that Iran has "sufficient information" to make a nuclear weapon and has "probably tested" a key component, but the agency admits it has no hard evidence of a warhead program in Iran.
This report comes at a time when the NATO defense shield agreement has—thankfully—been rethought, and Mohamed ElBaradei, the esteemed director of the agency, is preparing to step down after more than a decade of service.
The Guardian:
The UN nuclear inspection agency believes that Iran has "sufficient information" to make a nuclear weapon and had "probably tested" a key component, it was reported last night.
The Associated Press said it had obtained a "secret annexe" to a report on Iran by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which suggests that the agency's experts were more convinced Iran had been trying to make a bomb than its outgoing director, Mohamed ElBaradei, had admitted.
ElBaradei, a Nobel peace prizewinner, who leaves his post at the end of November, has said there is "no concrete evidence" the Iranians had worked on building a warhead. The agency repeated that position last night, in response to the AP report saying there was no "concrete proof that there is or has been a nuclear weapons programme in Iran", and that "all relevant information and assessments" are presented to the IAEA member states.
AP / Hasan Sarbakhshian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has thumbed his nose at U.N. sanctions and said Iran will continue to pursue what he calls a peaceful nuclear program.

I purchased this on a whim during the 4th of July sale and I'm pretty impressed with this serum. The scent is reminiscent of Old English, but it's not unpleasant and it dissipates quickly. The ingredients list is impressive and after a few days of use, I'm already noticing a mild brightening effect. I apply this serum before my moisturizer with SPF for daytime and before a moisturizing cream at night. So glad I bought this!4

A widely cultivated fern with dimorphic sterile and fertile pinnae, abundant production of vegetative bulbils, and aborted spores is described as Asplenium ×lucrosum Perrie et Brownsey nothosp. nov. It has previously been confused with A. bulbiferum, with which it shares the production of bulbils. Evidence from chloroplast DNA sequences and morphology is presented for the origin of A. ×lucrosum, probably in cultivation, as a hybrid between the New Zealand endemic A. bulbiferum and the Norfolk Island endemic A. dimorphum. The confusion of A. bulbiferum with A. ×lucrosum has led to the latter being used inadvertently in revegetation projects in New Zealand where it is has become a 'casual' adventive through its vegetative bulbil propagation.

BBC Review
An album of fire, spirit and sweat – and sometimes that's all you need.
Reef Younis 2011
We know what to expect from She Keeps Bees: Jessica Larrabee's salt-and-spit vocal, wailing into a sultry exhaustion as drummer (and beau) Andy LaPlant diligently hammers the skins to add a thumping distinction to the fizzing amp crackle.
It was this raw dynamic which made debut album, Nests, stomp your attention into submission with Larrabee powering and purring away. But after 'doing a Bon Iver' and heading off to the isolation of the mountains to record their follow-up, Dig On, the results here are a little different to what has come before.
On Nests, there was force and frustration; it's an album driven by the snarl of the city streets, fighting for every square inch of its embattled escape from NYC's confines. You could feel the clamour in Larrabee's vocal as she willed and wailed to dominant effect, but throughout Dig On she's noticeably mellower.
Musically, the angry guitar blasts and tub-thumping percussion have largely been dispensed with, and although the fierce stomp hasn't quite become a shuffle, its background presence allows the vocals to come on deliciously dense. It owes a lot to Larrabee's forceful performance, with Saturn Return's slow burn striking a forceful PJ Harvey chord before See Me really lets her bellow.
Laying it on thick and languid, Make You My Moon melts into Black Mountain territory, while Farmer, with its chunky chords and throaty wails, cranks up the volume and temperature before breaking into a howling fury. But it's Blind to the Cup that commands your attention most strikingly, and perhaps best characterises the album. Minus the Larrabee caterwaul, it ghosts through a softer side of sensual hums and brooding whispers, instantly reminding us of She Keeps Bees' devilishly seductive promise.
Dig On retains much of the rustic simplicity of its predecessor – fundamentally still just one guitar, one kit and two voices. But despite the fact it lacks the consistent firecracker moments of album one, it's still heavily charged with fire and spirit and sweat. And sometimes that's all you need.

Dutch Funds See Scope for Inflation-Linked Investments at Home
Dutch pension funds, seeking inflation-linked investments in their home market, could ease a credit shortage if the right instruments are offered, according to APG Groep Chief Investment Officer Angelien Kemna.
"We are willing, there is scope, if there is an alignment of parties involved," including retirement plans, their asset managers, the government and banks, Kemna said at a seminar in The Hague today. "There has to be trust and an acknowledgment of the need for an attractive return for all parties involved."
The Netherlands has the euro area's biggest pension industry, with 950 billion euros ($1.25 trillion) in assets at the end of the second quarter, data from the Dutch and European central banks show. The assets are held in collective plans run by industry, company and occupational pension funds. APG manages 314 billion euros for pension funds including the country's biggest, Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP.
Because a large part of Dutch savings is tied up in pension funds, lenders are reliant on market funding. The "funding gap," or amount of loans banks can't fund with deposits, was more than 450 billion euros at the end of the second quarter, according to a Dutch central bank report dated Oct. 9. Pension funds in 2011 invested about 15 percent of assets in their home market, Dutch central bank director Joanne Kellermann said today.
APG's Kemna said funds would be interested in investing more in infrastructure projects offering Dutch inflation-related compensation. The Dutch state doesn't offer inflation-linked bonds because it can borrow cheaply through conventional bonds, she said.
State Guarantee
Retirement plans and their asset managers would also be interested in investing in securitized loans to small- and medium-size companies as well as securitized residential mortgage loans with a state guarantee, if these were offered, she said.
Dutch banks haven't been willing to meet pension funds' conditions for increasing their investments, Kemna said.
Retirement funds, which have suffered as Europe's debt crisis and low interest rates hurt government bond yields and drove up liabilities, could benefit from increased margins on mortgages, Eloy Lindeijer, head of investment management at Dutch investor PGGM NV, said in June. Investors could use Dutch residential mortgage-backed securities to hedge interest-rate risks, he said.
Kellermann said that as their supervisor she doesn't oppose pension funds increasing their investments in the Netherlands as long as risks are properly managed.

From the Left of Stax
If you were a soul and funk musician living in Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1960s and '70s, there was one guy you needed to know: Lee Anthony. He opened Little Rock's first black-owned record store, and later, launched a record label called True Soul Records. That label is the subject of a two-volume compilation of rare funk and soul songs called True Soul: Deep Sounds From the Left of Stax. Joining us to talk about the new release is Lee Anthony himself, along with Eothan Alapatt of Now Again records, which released the set.
This is an encore edition of Soundcheck.

Does anyone know of a place that repairs these things? I found replacement clusters on E-bay. Would that be plug and play, or would a dealer have to program it to reflect the correct mileage?

Todd Bridges endured years of personal hardships involving drugs, abuse and family issues, but has come out on the other side with nearly 21 years of sobriety. Now, the former "Diff'rent Strokes" star is offering Lindsay Lohan advice that he says could save her life.
The 48-year-old actor stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, where he told Kit Hoover and guest co-host Alfonso Ribeiro that Lindsay's road ahead could mean the difference between life or death.
"The bottom line for Lindsay right now is she has to decide what she wants to do. Either she wants to stop or she wants to continue. If she wants to continue, she's going to end up dead," he said of the actress, who recently completed a three-month stint in rehab.
PHOTOS: Former Child Stars Then & Now
Todd feels that reckless behavior by some stars is celebrated.
"Here's the problem, we glorify people like Charlie Sheen. I'm not being mean, but we glorify it," the "Killing Willis: From Diff'rent Strokes to the Mean Streets to the Life I Always Wanted" author continued.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Been In Rehab
So how does Todd, who dealt with so many demons in the past, now approach working in the Hollywood spotlight.
"You do your job and you go home and you don't get involved in anything on the set... all you care about is yourself," he explained.
The actor doesn't blame his early success on the small screen for his past mistakes.
"The problems that I went through had nothing to do with being a child star, it had everything to with what I saw going on at home and what was going on in my household," he told Kit and Alfonso.

Adding, "Once you realize the problem isn't drugs and alcohol, but is you, you can get your life together."
See Todd on "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" this Sunday at 8 PM on OWN.

...to the MODS for violating "copyright laws" by creating the NEWS ARTICLES threads. Not being a copyright attorney, as I am sure the individual reporting me must be, I've written to two of the public domain outlets I used to copy and paste the "links". I've asked them if what I do is copyright infringement and will share their answers (assuming I get answers) with one and all. Should I get answers I will then communicate with all of the outlets to seek permission to provide links top their sites to others.
It was suggested that I could simply not post the whole article and not run afoul of the copyright police. Problem is, I don't post the articles, just the links to the articles. Since every outlet I use is in the public domain I think I am just a conduit to get other fans to the articles. I also think that leaving something out of an article would be more offensive/illegal to the originator of the article.
I love coming here to share thoughts about the GIANTS and will continue to do that. I realize that a lot of posters do the same thing with one article here and one there. I don't know if this complaint is directed at everyone or just me. Surely, I don't have any enemys here [:'(]
I don't believe this has anything to do with copyright infringement but I do respect the MODS for needing to be careful lest this escalate into something larger than life. I would suggest they modify the TOS as I am pretty sure we are directed to post a link with "news".
Until I can get some clarification from a reliable source, we'll just continue to share our thoughts without the benefit of the "link".

Here's something I've been wondering about while I work on an outline: how would the black market operate in a future economy where money exists only in digital form? How would you buy and sell things you weren't legally allowed to buy and sell if money primarily or solely existed in some electronic medium which could be monitored with relative ease?
Thinking hard.

hello from Ottawa Canada
Hello All, great site you have here!
A little about myself, I would be considered an average DIY'er, and maybe more by some standards. I've built my own place (it took about 5 years but its almost done!), and have helped with a lot of renovations for friends.
I'm currently working on converting a home to be barrier free for a friend who was recently injured and confined to a wheelchair. This has posed some challenges for me and the other volunteers who have been helping out. I'll be posting on more of the specifics, and maybe someone out there will have some suggestions.
Thanks in advance, and I hope to be contributing before long...
Hi and welcome to the site.

st: RE: Stata thinks files are read-only when they shouldn't be!
Mon, 11 May 2009 05:43:09 +0800
I used to have problems likes this many years ago. I would have been
using Windows XP or Windows 2000 in those days.
As I recall, whenever I copied files from a CD or DVD onto my disk drive
they would come across as read-only and, I think, if I copied a whole
folder of files across, the folder itself was also marked as read-only.
So that meant I couldn't write to the folder on disk.

Subject: st: Stata thinks files are read-only when they shouldn't be!
Dear all,
Sometimes when I run do files in which I try to save, replace or modify
a file in some way, Stata thinks that this file is read-only when it
shouldn't be.
The problem I'm having right now is the following:
I am running a do file that contains a bunch of lines like:
foreach y of varlist happ job{
regress `y' lrwage lrwager firm_l if female==1, cluster(unm)
estimates store Self0
regress `y' lrwage lrwager firm_l firm_iqr if female==1,
cluster(unm) estimates store Self1
outreg2 lrwage lrwager firm_l firm_iqr [Self0 Self1 ...] using
myfile_`y', replace bdec(2) label nocons excel}
When I do the file, I notice that Stata shows in the display window the
results for all the regressions but when it reaches the outreg2 command,
it gives the following error:
file myfile_happ.txt is read-only; cannot be modified or erasedr(608);
And I get this error whether myfile_happ.txt exists in the directory or
not. Also, sometimes I only get this error for the SECOND time Stata
goes through the loop; that is, the first time it goes through and it
does save the file myfile_happ.txt but the second time it stops and it
fails to save the file myfile_job.txt!!! What do you think is going on??
Another thing that happens often -- but I'm not having this problem
right now -- is that I run a do file that contains a line such as:
save, replace
and it fails to save the file because it is apparently read-only. What
is even stranger is that some other times, it does go through and saves
the file normally.
I have already verified that my folder where my files are in Windows is
not read-only, but that doesn't help.
I am running Stata 9 SE on Windows XP Pro... but I think I have also
seen this error when I've run my code on a different computer with Stata
Thank you very much!!!

Picture: Jacqueline Laurita 2011 Samsung Hope For Children Benefit Gala - arrivals New York City, USA 07.06.11
Jacqueline Laurita, the star of reality show 'Real Housewives of New Jersey', has attacked her fellow cast member Teresa Giudice on Twitter, branding her "scum". Teresa angered fellow cast members after she allegedly spread the rumour her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga was once a stripper, reports US Weekly Magazine.
Teresa was accused of spreading the rumour when the 'Real Housewives' reunited for a fashion show at Posche - the boutique regularly featured on the hit Bravo reality show. Tweeting after the event on Saturday, Laurita told followers, "Teresa told me that rumor about Melissa when she first started the show. She wanted her out then. She plotted it. She played dumb on camera and even defended Melissa", later adding, "Teresa is scum". Gorga has vehemently denied she ever worked as a stripper at 'Lookers Gentleman's Club', as has her former employer Larry Guarino, who told US Weekly, "She was a bartender for a couple of months years ago, it was such a short time. She was never ever a dancer". Giudice is yet to respond to the verbal assault, although Laurita also claimed her former friend has her own "skeletons" in the closet.
In June 2011, Bravo renewed 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' for a fourth season due to its record breaking ratings. Filming has already begun on the new series, set to premiere in 2012.
