HVLP sprayers
I'm soon going to attempt painting my first car, from other posts i have read on this bulletin board a basecoat/clearcoat is the best way to go i'm in the process of putting my 36 ford street rod together primered only until i'm sure everything fits and i plan to drive it that way for a while, but before i put the body on the frame i would like to paint the firewall so that i won't have to pull the engine later i'm planning to buy just enough paint to do this and buy the rest later, i'm planning on using the 2002 corvette torch red, can you see any problems doing this? Also i want to buy a hvlp gun but I don't want to pay a small fortune for one I have seen some on e-bay in the $100 range also Harbor Freight has them, since i don't plan to make a profession of painting are these guns good enough for the occasional painter will they do the job or sould i invest more dollars? Is there a brand i sould stay away from? Thank in advance Ron.............
B/C C/C is the best way to go. There is no problem in doing it that way plus it beats disassembling the car again for the firewall.
As for the gun, a gravity feed (cup on top)is the best way to go for buying a gun. I don't think that you need an HVLP gun but that may determine where you live,local laws of the state, and preference of the user. SATA makes fantastic spray guns, I've bought about 5 in the past few years for my class and I like the SATA #9332-1 with a 1.4mm tip. The students do a pretty good job with these spray guns not being professionals. The last one I bought was $269.00 I know that is alot of money but you won't need to but another for awhile. Probrably can get it cheaper if you look around.
also this gun sprays base and clear great.
And the old saying is you get what you pay for!

Oh by the way that is a beautiful color. I've seen it on a street rod and it looks great. I may be a little partial to that color, I have an S-15 that is painted that color. I had a friend call it my plug-in truck, it looked like it was glowing!
Ya' i really like this color red, for some reason i just think coupes don't look good any other color, my wife was trying to get me to go with a purple or green yuck not on my coupe by the way thanks for the info. Ron.......
red is an easy sale for the car. Special colors tend to personalize it and might be hard to sale.
One other question about the hvlp how do you know which spray nozzle to use on these guns or whats the criteria? Ron.....
The fluid tip that you will need is determined by the type of products you are going to spray. The paint companies for example, Dupont, PPG have product sheets that will state the fluid tip size for the product being sprayed. Some even list the name brand of gun, type such as gravity feed, siphon feed or HVLP along with the recommended set up for the gun. Like air pressures. In other words, gun set-up. Try these sites.
Time to go home computor is slow at home I will check back later.

I have one of the Harbor Freight 2 qt HVLP pressure pot with remote spray head and it works great. Have sprayed several cars with it and love it. Teh Willys in my AVATAR was painted with it. I like the pressure pot type w/ remote head 'cause it can be held in any position to spray and won't spill or starve.

Harbour Frieght is the *****, I just wish there was one close to home.
Harbor Frieght does have alot of cheap did I say that out loud! I meant cool stuff!
Mail order from Harbor Freight is the same as store bought - free shipping! Yes some of their stuff is garbage, like their hack saw blades. Teeth peel off in first stroke. However, their hand tools are fine for a hobbiest and I have never had a problem with getting a replacement if one breaks. Compare that to Sears who ALWAYS hassle me when I take back a broken Craftsman 'lifetime guaranteed' tool for replacement. I get their 4" grinders for $14 on sale (maikita is over $100) and of the 4 I have now (all with diffeent heads) that have been abused greatly I have had lo problems. I figure I could break 5 and still be ahead of one of the name brands but I haven't broken any yet! I love their air tools. I have had a set of HF sanders, impact wrenches, grinders, etc. for neaarly two decades of abusive use (RARELY if ever oil them)and have yet to have a problem. Can you tell I LOVE Harbor Freight?
Willys36 I understand what you mean about buying cheaper tools but with refinish supplies costing so much why use a cheaper quality spray gun that may not spray the material as well.
I love tools from anywhere...well almost anywhere! I guess I feel that way because I had to rely on making my weekly paycheck with quality tools. I do understand about saving some money, I just hate doing things twice, I guess thats from working on commission.
hes right, u dont wanna cheap out on spray guns ever, unless ure working in maaco painting lol, but for painting ur own street/hot rod buy good stuff, will pay dividens in quality finish u get
I should own stock in Harbor freight, if I had to spend the big bucks on the tools I use occasionally I'd be broke and wouldn't have any money for the parts I need. hobbyist tools, yes, but why spend the money if you're not going to use it a lot. rdzat, don't forget to trim your jambs, trunk, inner fenders now, it will save a lot of cleanup time later.

You are right, quality tools are the way to go. Actually, many Harbor Freight tools are very good quality. I see contractors in there all the time buying tools for the job. For example I once bought a Maikita die grinder and used it for about 1/2hr with a 1/2" carbide bit opening holes in a sheet metal firewall I was building before it burned up. Maikita said I must have abused it so they wouldn't stand behind it. I bought another assuming they were right and treated it very gently. It lasted about 3/4hr B4 burning to a crisp. Same story from the company. That was a $200 lesson. I have had my Harbor Freigt grinder for 4 years and treat it like a red headed step child and it keeps going round and round. And if it ever does crap out I could take it back for exchange, no questions asked. I won't do that 'cause when it does go it will be my fault!
As far as painting goes, I have never used a 'good' gun so I don't have anything to compare my cheapie to. The half dozen cars I have painted seem to have come out ok - haven't had to redo any of them and they are real purty! My paint jobs are probably early Macco in quality but for my purpose and skill level, I am very pleased with the HF equipment. Granted, if I was making my living with the spray gun I would have the very best. Further if I was wasting ANY $100/gallon paint I would dump this equipment in a New York minute.
In summary, Harbor Freight has made available a complete garage full of wonderful tools that I as a hobbiest would otherwise never have access to.

AG, enviro groups appeal copper rule decision
Attorney General Gary King and environmental groups are appealing a decision by the Water Quality Control Commission to weaken groundwater rules for copper mines in the state.
In a statement sent to media, King said that the copper rules violate the state's Water Quality Act by allowing the water under copper mines to be contaminated at levels higher than allowed by the law.
"Ninety percent of New Mexicans rely on groundwater for drinking water and this new rule, if allowed to be implemented, could render our water undrinkable for hundreds of years," King said.
King has asked the New Mexico Court of Appeals to stop the implementation of the new rule.
Separately, the Gila Resources Information Project (GRIP) and Turner Ranch Properties, L.P., represented by New Mexico Environmental Law Center (NMELC), and Amigos Bravos represented by High Desert Energy + Environment Law Partners, filed an appeal against the rule.
"At the request of Freeport McMoRan, the Commission adopted a regulation that allows extensive and permanent groundwater pollution at all copper mines," says Bruce Frederick, NMELC Staff Attorney. "We are appealing the rule because we think it's unconstitutional and diametrically opposed to the Commission's express statutory mandate, which is to prevent water pollution."
"As communities throughout the state discuss ways to deal with future water needs against the specter of long-term drought, it is irresponsible to allow mining companies to pollute thousands of acre-feet of groundwater that could be used in the future by municipalities, industry or agriculture," Allyson Siwik, GRIP Executive Director, said in a statement.
The Santa Fe Reporter and Alibi each wrote about the controversial circumstances surrounding the change of the rule.
The Reporter story highlighted the opposition to the copper rule changes throughout the process from both environmental groups and the office of the Attorney General.
The copper rule was approved on a near-unanimous vote by the WQCC. Only Doug Bland voted against the rule — and Bland recently resigned from the commission.

One Response to "AG, enviro groups appeal copper rule decision"
The new copper rule was nothing more than an outright GIFT to the mining industry by Susana ! I know as I was there and sat tru most of the kangaroo hearing where hard science was put aside in light of political ideology ! And most disturbing was the out right sell out by our very own NM Environment Department who did nothing more than front for the Governor. And their Representative and newly appointment head of the Department hired only two weeks before so in effect had no first hand experience with the new proposed rule and had to apologize for his own lack of knowledge. Obviously a set up and another "talkiing head" trying to protect his job and not us the people of New Mexico. This was not about Copper. It is about Water and which under our Constitution belongs to the People as a Public Trust. And is not up for bids to the highest bidder, in this case the Copper Industry.

text: I really like this proposal. We could have used units like this on '05-'06 in Iraq. I also like the idea of a high end civilian capable police force to free up the need for allied help overseas. As stated in the summary, this will promote a greater freedom of US action overseas. Edit: I did not read the entire document. I read the summary and skimmed the rest.

Professor Gilbert C. F. Fong
If one should ask: what is the vision of HSMC? I will probably answer in this way: for a private institution of higher education, survival is both the prerequisite and the bread-and-butter issue. Yet I also firmly believe that, just as human beings do not live merely to exist, HSMC must transcend mere survival and rise above it. We must harbour a firm commitment to higher education, and we must regard the pursuit of academic excellence as our goal. Therein lies the real meaning of our existence as an education institution. HSMC has set its goal on becoming a top-notch university. I can categorically say that HSMC refuses to be second-rate, and we will never languish in the second tier.
Positioning can be the accumulation of objective conditions. It can also be the realisation of subjective wishes, which the subject is able to control and change. We hope that the emergence of HSMC will rewrite the positioning and mission of private tertiary institutions in Hong Kong. Where we stand cannot be clearer: HSMC aspires to be one of a kind and the leader among peers. We want to stand out with our unique ambience, unique conviction and unique academic accomplishments. In business management, which we have chosen to be our focus and specialty, we will be equal with traditional universities and compete with them and thrive.
The future of HSMC depends on our continued efforts and support from society at large. We will sustain strong links with the government, our counterparts in the academia and especially the media. Here allow me to make an appeal: Let us work together for the students, for the higher education of Hong Kong and for the well-being of Chinese society.
We have chosen a road for HSMC: from "second chance" to "first choice". Right now HSMC is offering a second chance to students. In the near future, HSMC will not be a second chance to students; we will be their first choice.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I have some 'splainin to do.
Today, I just got almost all of the mail that has been sent to my PO box since July, 2013. It is a lot of mail:
The dilly-o was that in July, I got one of those yellow cards that said I had too much mail for my box. It was after hours, so I figured I'd just pick it up next time I went during regular hours.
Since July, I was getting some mail, but not all that I had expected. People were sending me things and asking if I got them, and no, I hadn't! I had no idea what was going on.
Then I found the yellow card under the seat of my car, where it had slipped that day in July.
I went to the post office today with the card, hoping that they still had whatever it was from so many months ago. The clerk's eyes got wide. She told me that she had been saving my mail since July, and she thought I might have died.
Now, I have no idea why I was getting some pieces of mail and not others, or why she never again alerted me that I had a huge bin of mail sitting back there.
The point is: My apologies. I try to be really on-the-spot about getting back to people and acknowledging their trades or Zines for Troops donations. I promise, I wasn't neglecting your stuff!
Now I have to go sort through all of this. . .

Door installers please help...Again!
I posted on here before about a bad door install from Home Depot....Basically they installed a sill that is too long.....Here are the pics
Here are the specs...
Door jam= 5 1/4"
Sill installed = 7 13/16
They claim that they don't have a sill that would fit this door....They said that the sill sizes they have are
6 3/8
7 5/8 (6 3/8" with an extension.....
They say that the 6 3/8" sill would be too short to cover the wood....This doesn't make sense to me since there is almost a 2" gap where the sill is hanging over.......
Anyways, does it sound like they are just trying to get out of replacing the sill? Or am I mixed up about something...
This sills on exterior doors always hang over. Usually you would put something under it to support it. I would get a peice of pressure treated wood and cut to fit then install against the concrete and up tight to the sill with concrete screws.
1 Attachment(s)
Also the concrete under that door is cracking you need to do something about that. I'm not sure what. I don't know to much about concrete.
Then install a piece of 5/4 decking Pressure treated onto the concrete. A piece that fills in the kicker/ riser space completely to support the threshold. Rip it down and cut it to size.
Install with Tapcons.
Then finish it off with a 'finish-look' piece of PVC based white trim, like AZEK or KOMA trim with some galvanized finish nails, shot into the base PT deck wood. Fill nail holes with white caulking.
You don't necessarily need to come all the way out to the edge of the thresh-hold in order to have it supported. Usually, it still overhangs about 1/4". for water run off.
-My 2 cents.
(BTW - that is what we have done on many doors with an issue just like yours)
Thanks for the advice everyone but keep in mind that I didn't do this myself...i paid home depot to do it so I want it done right.....If you look at the picture you will see that the sill would stick out 1 1/4 " once the storm door is on....I've never seen a door like that before.....Wouldnt it be better to get them to install the right size sill instead of going through all this other stuff which shouldn't be necessary if the sill was the right size in the first place.....The 6 3/8" should fit properly, am I wrong? If they installed this one, it would only be hanging over 1/2" from the wood instead of the 1 15/16" it is now....
It's actually an easy DIY fix. It would take you less time to fix it yourself, than the time you will be 'on hold' ....waiting for them to find your payment records....
I guess the point is that they screwed up and ordered the wrong size...I know I could fix it or live with it but why should I? I paid alot of money to have them come out and measure and install this door...Plus, like I said, it looks really dumb, I've searced for other houses that have this issue but have found none....They would have to take out the door and reattach another sill
They installed a 6.5" sill extension instead of a 5.25" extension. It will look bad if you support it and will create a hazard if you do not support it. Have the HD correct it, they can order the correct extension.
I copied this answer, this is what I answered the first time you asked the question!
I agree good move, it's time for those big money maker like HD to spend a few bucks to redempt their customers... they win big time overall... even they lost money on your deal... they selling big $$ on their screws... piece of plastics... for their big profit... it is more than adaquate for them to replace the whole thing for you....
They can fix this. They can replace the sill if needed.
If you paid with a credit card, then dispute the charges until its repaired. Call HD and tell them of your plans. Offer to send the link to the photos.
This is ridiculous work. Someone is going to step out on that or hang a toe and break their neck. What you have now is dangerous.
I doubt credit card let you retract payment like that as they have policy I believed, only allow retracting if it is not you who initiate the payment, otherwise, eveything else has to be settled with the vendor separately....
Follow up
The installers called me yesterday and said that the reason they can't install the 6 3/8" sill on the door is that they want the sill to hang over at least 1 1/2" ...With the 6 3/8" sill it would only hang over 1/2" from the wood...Does this make any sense? Isn't 1/2" enough?
What is the benefit of hang over the wood? I suppose you mean it extend out like the way it is now... wouldn't it be better there is none hang over in a perfect world?... or I misinterpt meaning of "hang over"...
I guess it is supposed to hang over to prevent water from dripping off the sill and rotting the wood...
Looks like there is better way if this is for such reason such as using pressure treated wood for outdoor...
I think the installer just try to find an excuse of not fixing it...
you can ask them base on what "code" is their arguement or you can even call the city for that...

Guest blogging isn't dead.
Only things that have lived at some point can die.
Guest blogging has never been effective or as "alive" in the way good content development has and is. Sure, Matt Cutts in several of his Webmaster videos has said that Google's latest algorithm is discounting the link value of guest blogged posts. But that's not to say that those posts or blogs were ever that valuable in the first place.
To be fair, if you got a blogger of a high page rank blog drunk enough to let you post on his blog, his blog would pass rank to your links. But you're missing the real value–reblogs (and he'd lose subscribers–the reason is below).
If you write a post and it's good, dozens of other blogger will also link to that post. you've created a big ripple effect. As a guest blogger, no matter how good your post, you're just not going to get the same size ripple as the main author.
Let's put this into perspective. If Conan takes a vacation and a guest host takes over the show, the viewership ALWAYS drops.
People read a blogger's blog because of that blogger. They are used to that blogger's style, humor, perspective, tone, etc… You're not going to sound the same. So you're just not going to get the same reception.
So what's the solution? It's simple. Get the original lead blogger to interview you. If you're having a hard time getting that to happen, become more interesting.
What I'm saying is that guest blogging was never very effective and it's totally worthless now that it doesn't even pass rank for Google search purposes. Basically, if you're going to appear on the Oprah show, make sure that you don't host that one time slot. Make sure Oprah is there and you get her to interview you.
If you get the main author to write about you and link to you, however you make this happen (pitch, bribe, sponsorship, or by threat), you'll get all the benefit of his author rank and his blog's page rank. So keep on networking. Nothing has changed–at least not the best practices.

NLQ FAQ Revisited: Does Patriarchy Glorify God?
by Kristen Rosser ~ aka: KR Wordgazer Q: As a Quiverfull couple, we practice headship and submission to strengthen our marriage and bring glory to God. But you are saying that Patriarchy hurts the husband and belittles God. Please explain.What does "glorify" mean when we're talking about God? A simple definition can be found in what we commonly mean when we say a person is "seeking glory." It means that person wants the credit for good things that have happened, and to be honored for those things. To glorify God is to seek glory not for ourselves, but for God– to act in ways that point to God, that give God the credit for good things in our lives and the honor that comes from t … [Read more...]

Millipede Part 23
by MillipedeThe moment of truth came one Saturday night. No surprises there. Of course, my husband had decided to have something to drink. I abstained of course, someone would have to be ready to call 911. Even though the any possible seizure would not occur until the following day, a 400+ pound man could get into a lot of trouble if he fell of his chair during a nodding phase. Plus, who knows, this time the seizure might come earlier.Things were going well as expected. The slurring had started just a bit and my husband nodded off only once. off had.

Biology 101 Anyone?
by CaluluWhen I first read the headline this weekend I was incredulous. I sat there dumb founded just staring at the screen, not believing what I was reading, this newest cannon volley that is the war on women and women's reproductive rights. Sadly it wasn't a joke.This is what I saw - Republican Senate Nominee: Victims of 'Legitimate Rape' Don't Get PregnantSurely even the most scantily educated people in this country wouldn't fall for such an obvious falsehood.

My mom is going back to school!
by Sierra(Editors note: Thank you NLQ readership for your part in making this happen! )Some of you may remember this post, in which I described the frustration of discovering that a clerical error had cost my mom her chance to go back to school for her bachelor's degree. Leaving for school and realizing that my mother would not be able to get her degree felt a lot like survivor's guilt. I was the only one on a clear path out of poverty. She threw her support behind me, and I did the only thing I could do: studied hard to make it up to her.Now, years later, a stubborn daughter, a website, a loan and a very generous group of donors have changed the tide. My mother is going back to s … [Read more...]

Bacon-Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts
One evening, when my sisters and I were young, my parents left us eating our dinner at the kitchen table. My father was in the swimming pool, cleaning it from the inside with one of those large nets for fishing out fallen leaves. My mother was standing outside the pool, chatting with him as he worked. And we, my two younger sisters and I, were calmly enjoying our dinner. Calmly, that is, until our youngest sister dug her fingers into either side of the stick of butter which sat on the table, grabbing handfuls of butter in each hand, which she then proceeded to eat. Straight up mouthfuls of cold butter.
My sister and I were appalled…the fingers in the communal food…the ingesting of pure milk fat. We were certain that our parents would want to be informed of this major dining transgression. If they'd taken away my sister's knife privileges after she'd licked a butter knife, they would almost certainly take butter away from our youngest sis. Right?? And like many young siblings, we smugly delighted in the prospect of the other's consequences for poor choices.
So, my sister and I go running outside, shouting, "Mommy, mommy, mommy," who was in the middle of a conversation with our father and promptly shooed us away. "But, Mommy…" we persisted, confident in the righteousness of our interruption. She again directed us back to our dinners. So we just shouted it, "She's dug her fingers into the butter." We enthusiastically demonstrated, with an Oscar worthy tattle-telling performance. "And she's eating it."
Our mother ended her conversation mid-sentence and quickly moved into the kitchen to deal with our sister and her butter-slathered fingers. I can't remember if she lost her butter privileges or not. What I do remember is our mother's immediate shift from being inconvenienced by our interruption to urgently dealing with the incident at hand. We'd proven our cause to be worthy of interrupting.
I had a parenting butter incident of my very own a few days ago. I had been trying to prepare dinner and the boys were in rare form; wildly running around the kitchen, stealing components of their dinner from their plates before I'd finished, and engaging in all manners of daredevil mischief which further diminished the odds that I'd ever complete dinner. I shooed them all into the living room. "Go watch tv. Leave me alone for a minute so I can get dinner on the table."
Liam and Lucas reluctantly complied. James stuck around in the kitchen going about his normal business of pushing chairs around to access countertop supplies and opening the fridge in search of his beloved apple slices. I could see him out of the corner of my eye, standing in the light of the open fridge doors, chanting "Apple, apple, apple, apple…" I went about the dinner preparations, with my back turned to him. He became quiet and I'd assumed he'd temporarily given up his quest for precious apples.
And then Lucas comes into the kitchen, whining "Mommy, mommy, mommy…" I shooed him away in the same manner my mother had shooed me away at the pool. "But, Mommy…" he continued. I was becoming annoyed. I sent him away. He persisted, "But Gooba (our pet name for the baby) is eating bacon."
I spun around, with the same swift shift of my mother at the pool. And sure enough, the baby was standing there with two handfuls of cooked bacon, which had been sitting on a plate in the fridge, happily snacking on his discovered fridge treasure.
I let him eat the bacon. It's bacon, after all, and I'm not some kind of monster who steals bacon from babies. He was a smart baby to recognize the value of his find.
Providing your baby doesn't steal your bacon before you get a chance to use it, you should make this spectacular bacon-mushroom stuffed chicken. This recipe is fully inspired by a friend, who chopped up and stuffed some leftover bacon-stuffed mushrooms I'd made for her holiday party, into a few chicken breasts for an easy day-after-party dinner. Genius use of leftover stuffed mushrooms. Taking that lead, I modified my recipe for Bacon-Stuffed Mushrooms to be intentionally used as a filling for chicken and paired it all with a creamy sour cream and mushroom gravy for a simple and satisfying dinner.
Today's Focus on Technique – Stuffed Meat Safety
When cooking stuffed meats, it is important to ensure that both the meat and the stuffing are cooked to a safe temperature. This is one of the major challenges with cooking larger stuffed items, like a whole turkey, where it will take much longer for the center stuffing to reach a safe temperature, while the surrounding turkey overcooks. In smaller cuts, like a stuffed chicken breast, it's easier to bring both components to a safe temperature without overcooking the meat. To check for a safe temperature, it is important to test the temperature of both the meat and the stuffing. Do this by inserting an instant-read meat thermometer into both components of the dish. Poultry is safely cooked at 165 degrees.

Yesterday I presented to the Security Revisited event put on by the East Bay WordPress Meetup group on how to get your WordPress website back on it's feet after it's been hacked or infected with malware.
Last year I helped Patrice who runs Afrobella.com recover from a seriously nasty malware hack to her blog after Google told her she had been blacklisted. It was frustrating for Patrice, her fans and advertisers but I got the site cleaned up and hack free. Back in June I saw there was a call for WordPress security topics so I jumped in and said I'd share my experience as a case study for the group.
I covered:
- How to tell if your WordPress site was hacked
- Why people hack WordPress sites (popularity, infect other computers, steal data)
- First steps to start investigating the problem
- How to backup your WordPress files and database
- How to scan your WordPress files for infection using Avira
- How to scan your WordPress site using Sucuri
- Tools and plugins to use to monitor your site for changes
- How I recovered the site of a popular blogger using this system
- and much more!
Here's the presentation from the meetup:
People asked several questions during the presentation and I'm listing the resources I mentioned here as well as the recorded WordPress training at Udemy I'm teaching and the San Francisco WordPress workshop in February at Parisoma:
What hosting company do you recommend and why?
Rochenhost (affiliate link) – They do backups twice a day, respond to support tickets in 8 – 14 minutes, have Red Hat certified technicians and proactively monitor their shared hosting servers. Fast, responsive and solid.
What WordPress theme provider do you recommend and why?
Woothemes (affiliate link) – They keep all their themes up to date on a regular basis, they have great support and and active community of users, their framework supports patching security issues in their themes and they have a wide variety of flexible themes to fit nearly any WordPress site
What are the security / protection plugins you named?
- InspectorWordpress
- Simple History
- Exploit Scanner
- Akismet htaccess writer
- Audit Trail
- WordPress Hashcash
- WP-Sentinel
- Login LockDown
What was the link to the blog post you did last year on hacked WordPress sites?
Where can I read more about the TimThumb vulnerability?
Where can I get WordPress training online?
You can head over to Udemy which is now hosting my Build Your Own WordPress Website training for just $29. You get 8 hours of solid, step-by-step training on how to set up your very own WordPress website. Remember, the best part about using WordPress is that it is SEO optimized out of the box!
I just received a really nice quote from a previous client I setup on WordPress in 2008 because I asked him to share his story with a new prospective client who is still riding the fence on WordPress:
"I know that WordPress has been the best thing. Many changes I do myself which keeps the site fresh. It also keeps me interested in routinely updating since I instantly see the changes."
Joseph L. Rapacki, Rapacki & Co Accounting (yes, that's a WordPress site)
Where can I get WordPress training in person?
Glad you asked! I'm teaching a four week WordPress workshop in San Francisco this February at Parisoma called, Becoming A WordPress Master, and it's going to cover all the essentials of WordPress. Great for people just getting started with WordPress as well as people who want to better understand how to leverage SEO, themes and plugins. We'll cover new features in WordPress 3.3 like the HTML 5 drag and drop image upload option.
The cost is $120 for all four sessions and you can register here.
- WordPress Setup 101: Wed, Feb 1
- WordPress Tour: Wed, Feb 8
- WordPress Themes and Plugins: Wed, Feb 15
- WordPress Content Strategy and SEO: Wed, Feb 22
Thank you to Sallie Goetsch for asking me to speak at the meetup event and thank you to Anca of Techliminal for hosting the meetup! It was great to meet everyone and hear people's questions about WordPress security!

If you don't believe it, let me proove it to you.
Don't you dare close your eyes...don't even blink...
See the beauty God gave us...
"Most of us have had moments in childhood when we touched the divine presence. We did not think it extraordinary because it wasn't; it was just a beautiful moment filled with love. In those simple moments our hearts were alive, and we saw the poignant beauty of life vividly with wonder and appreciation."
David McArthur and Bruce McArthur.
"Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast."
John Greenleaf Whittier
"It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it."
"The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own—even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being."
Katherine Anne Porter
"Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all."
W. Somerset Maugham
"Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."
Franz Kafka
"A person is only beautiful, when their own beauty, is reflecting on to others."
Tara Grady
"There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, -- light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful."
John Constable
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best."
D. H. Lawrence
"Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance."
John Ruskin
"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."
Khalil Gibran
"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."
Ivan Panin
"It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever."
Jimmy Carter
"Keep your faith in all beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the Spring when it is gone."
Roy R. Gilson
"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within."
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"If eyes were made for seeing, then Beauty is it's own excuse for being."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."
John Keats
"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open."
Jawaharlal Nehru
"There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting."
John Kenneth Galbraith
The world is really beautiful...don't you agree?

Alfred Hitchcock and the making of Psycho (edition 1990)
by Stephen Rebello
Work details
Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and "Psycho" is one of my favourite of his movies. I've just finished reading Robert Bloch's book and re-watching the original movie to prime myself for reading this account of "the making of" Psycho. An excellent book for the initiated! This takes us from an account of Ed Gein, the depraved killer and grave robber, which inspired Bloch for his book, then to an accounting of Bloch's writing of the book from idea to after publication. Then this book settles into telling the whole story behind how "Psycho" was filmed, publicized and its final legacy. Rebello's book gives away all plot points for the book and movie and really would be of little interest to someone who is not familia with either. Make no mistake tthis book is about how the film was made, *not* abot Hitchcock himself or any of the personalities involved. The biographical material included is only what is needed to properly tell the story. I learned so much reading this book and found it extremely informative and entertaining. The next time I watch the movie I will be watching it with fresh eyes looking for and thinking about what I learned from this book. There are no pictures but I found myself reading with Google Images open beside me. When the first edition of the book was menttioned I neded to see that, when the first ever risque movie production adverisement was mentioned I hurried to find picttures of them. When the enticing theatrical trailer was described I had to watch it! When Hitchcock's cameo and Ted Knight's role as "man by door" was mentioned I quickly watched those video clips. I could go on and on! A true book for the movie connoseur.
PS: I have not seen the recent "Hitchcock" movie with Helen Mirren of which this kindle edition has a movie tie-in cover but I imagine that movie is hardly representative of the book for the mere fact that Alma Hitchcock is only mentioned twice in the book. Once standing near a closed door and second on a rare public appearance with Alfred at an event. That said there is quite a bit of information on their dauhter, Patricia, who is incredibly still alive at the time of this review.
I think I learned all that I wanted to know about how my favorite director made one of my favorite movies. Since Mr. Rebello writes as a journalist and a historian, not as an amateur psychologist, I also have to read what I didn't know, such as his guesses about how Hitchcock's repressions were played out on the screen, blah, blah. I especially enjoyed how Rebello treated the two most famous controversies: Robert Bloch, the author of the source novel, vs. Joe "Outer Limits" Stefano, the screenwriter, over who was most responsible for the film's story; and the claims of title sequence director Saul Bass to deserve auteur credit for the shower scene. Rebello comes down on the sides of Bloch and Hitchcock, and I think he is right. Rebello also reminded how important the film was historically (providing the inspiration for more graphic horror movies in general and the template for slasher movies in particular). I read his account of how the film's surprises shocked the first audiences with a little bitterness, since I had them spoiled for me a long time before I saw the film.
Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello opens with Ed Gein. Taxidermy, furniture and clothing made of human flesh and bone, cannibalism and run down cluttered homes. If you see any of these motifs in film you owe them to one real life monster named Ed Gein. And Psycho was the first to draw creative inspiration from his crimes. Ed Gein, though, makes Norman Bates look like a pussycat.
From the true crime this reissued book about the making of Psycho goes through all the steps that lead to the progenitor of the modern horror film. There's a chapter on Robert Bloch's novel and how it came to be purchased by Alfred Hitchcock.
Most of the book though is about the film itself. Of most interest to me was how the film was shot like an extended episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Although there was speculation at the time that it might be used for the series, Rebello argues (quite effectively) that the approach was a cost saving measure and as well as a chance for Hitchcock to step away from the elaborate (and expensive) full color films he had been making at the time. A low budget also gave Hitchcock more creative freedom because no one was worried about where the money was going.
I read an egalley via NetGalley.
Interesting story, told in the worst possible way. It's obvious Mr. Rebello researched his material carefully and thoroughly. But reading his book is like listening to a guy on an adjacent bar stool on a talking jag.
ALFRED HITCHCOCK and the making of PSYCHO is an extremely interesting account of the machinations behind the genius of the man who created the movie Psycho. The story is informative and tells us those "secret" tidbits of information that make these kinds of non-fiction stories successful. Stephen Rebello takes us on a walk behind the scenes and into the minds of the people responsible for the cult classic movie, "Psycho".
The making of Psycho takes the reader to the root of the "inspiration" of the movie and shares with us who Robert Bloch is and how Alfred Hitchcock came to owning the rights to the story. We learn who Hitchcock wanted for his actors, such as, he wanted a "famous" actress to play the part of Marion Crane and after several considerations, he chose Janet Leigh, we are given glances at the cut scenes and the reasons how many scenes were deleted, the explanation behind the movie theater slogan, "No one is allowed to enter when the film has begun" and we are also given an in-depth look into the infamous shower scene, from different angles from the people who were present in the filming.
I enjoyed how the book read and the presentation was very informative, as well, the insights and side stories were delivered in such a way, that I found myself being lead to doing my own research. I didn't know about the cross-references of Norman Bates to Leatherface of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and Buffalo Bill of the "Silence of the Lambs" fame. I would suggest this book to ALL fans of the genre, film students and anyone who enjoys good non-fiction reads, however, those weak of constitution should stay away from its pages, the chapter about the serial killer with whom Norman Bates is loosely based upon is quite graphic in nature, all in all, it was a great read.
Stephen Rebello has talked and interviewed virtually every surviving cast and crew member and has uncovered the hows and whys behind the movie's fascinating history. Everything about Psycho is here, in this book, in all its glorious detail.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312207859, Paperback)If you don't believe us when we say that Stephen Rebello's Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho is a killer book concerning the killer movie of all time, then why don't you listen to Tony Perkins, the star? Perkins called this scholarly yet super-readable volume "marvelously researched and irresistible ... required reading not only for Psycho-philes, but also for anyone interested in the backstage world of movie creation." And Time critic Richard Schickel (biographer of Clint Eastwood) calls Rebello's book "one of the best accounts of the making of an individual movie we've ever had."
It's even more reliable than Francois Truffaut's magisterial interview book Hitchcock, because Rebello interviewed the fat master himself, plus many Psycho insiders less cagey and truth-dodging than he.
At last, thanks to Rebello, we know all about the celebrated shower murder scene and all that swirls around it. Like Ernst Lubitsch, who conveyed the thrill of adultery by having the lovers open a door and cast their shadows on a bed, Hitchcock knew that, in film, artful discretion can be the most shocking effect of all. --Tim Appelo
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:43 -0400)
Here is the complete inside story on the making of psycho, the forerunner of all psychothrillers. Rebello takes us behind the scenes at the creation of one of cinema's boldest and most influential films. From Hitchcock's private files and from new in-depth interviews with the stars, writers, and technical crew we get a unique and unparalleled view of the master at work.… (more)

Red flag... penalty 15 yds! 3/8/2008
Hey folks... is it a common practice among men here to ask a woman if they want to meet...? Without any 'how do you dos' or previous discussion? I think that's a little creepy and at the very least

Conrad Murray Sentenced in Michael Jackson Case
Dr. Conrad Murray has been sentenced to four years in jail following his conviction for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. This was the maximum sentence for the crime.
Judge Michael Pastor ruled that Murray would not receive probation, after the doctor's lawyers requested the more lenient sentence. "There is no question that the death of his patient, Mr. Jackson, was unintentional and an enormous tragedy for everyone affected," they wrote in their sentencing memo. The prosecutors, meanwhile, countered that Murray undertook a "dangerous, unprecedented pharmaceutical experiment" on Jackson.
Based on the provision in California's prison realignment act, which aims to combat overcrowding, Murray's four-year sentence is to be served in the Los Angeles County Jail instead of a prison. He will also have to pay the court for certain fees and will be forced to pay restitution to the Jackson family. The prosecution requested he pay $100 million, but the judge said the actul amount will be determined at a later date.
"The Bible reminds us that men cannot do justice, they can only seek justice," the Jackson family said in a statement at the sentencing. "That is all we can ask as a family, and that is all we ask for here." They added, "We are not here to seek revenge. There is nothing you can do today that will bring Michael back."

"In the preface of Lincoln Looks West, editor Richard Etulain writes, "This volume attempts what no other book has done. . . This book introduces readers to the two decades of Lincoln's major involvements with the West" (ix). That mission is accomplished. In an introductory essay Etulain presents an extensive overview of Lincoln and the trans-Mississippi West. Seven of the subsequent essays are reprints from a variety of historical journals and cover a wide range of topics. Mark E. Neely (Civil War History, 1978) explores Lincoln's opposition to the Mexican War. Earl S. Pomeroy (Pacific Historical Review, 1943), Vincent G. Tegeder (Mississippi Valley Historical Review, 1948), Daren Earl Kellogg (New Mexico Historical Review, 2000), and Robert W. Johannsen (Washington Comes of Age: The State in the National Experience, 1992) delve into Lincoln's patronage appointments in the West. Larry Sdiweikart (Western Humanities Review, 1980) investigates Lincoln's connections to the Mormons, and David A. Nichols (The Historian's Lincoln: Pseudohistory, Psychohistory, and History, 1988) writes about his study of Lincoln and the Indians. Two new essays were written specifically for this volume: Michael G. Green surveys the politics of the 1850s and Lincoln's attitudes toward the West during those years; and Paul M. Zall presents a biographical sketch of Lincoln's friend Anson G. Henry, a physician and politician whom Zall describes as "Lincoln's Junkyard Dog." The book concludes with a bibliographical essay by Etulain and a bibliography of significant books and articles about Lincoln and the West.
This compilation of essays provides a wide range of topics, brings together a plethora of research, and demonstrates that the West was never far from Lincoln's mind, although during his presidency the war took his full attention. For those readers not well acquainted with Lincoln and the West, this volume is a great place to start and to discover that there really was a lot happening west of the Mississippi River during and even before the Civil War.

Oh man, This is nowhere near your first PSD file.
In your first PSD you can really see it as an elegant and crisp file, and I loved it when I saw it. It really looked premium, you know what I mean? It was clean and organized and the colors were great.
But this one in the other hand is far from that, if feels like a freebie, it needs a lot of work in my opinion.
Don't feel bad about my words, it's just when I saw your fist PSD and then saw that I was shocked
I agree with Anps.
The design feels too simple. It need more pages and more elements. And since it's an 'Ajax' website, then you should most definitely add a preloader on every page, that's a great deal in 'Ajax' websites.
I think it has potentials, but it needs a lot of work.
First you need to work more on typography and line height and you should add more content to it and polish the graphic elements more.
You should contact the author of the theme.
Actually I don't see why the design is the issue since it's been approved as Html !!
Maybe if you redesigned some elements, maybe the buttons and add some texture to the footer bg, and use different social icons, and change the navigation in the header to something different.
This is all just a minor improvements, but maybe that's what they want, I don't know.
I like the design a lot, but here's somethings needs to be taken care of …
- The icons in the dropdown 'explorer' panel is not suitable for this design, you can change them.
- The social icons needs a hover effect.
- The 'rss' icon's position under the 'homepage' title is odd.
- The form elements in the right columns needs better styling.
- You need to a better vertical alignments for the elements.
A full sized preview will be better to critique.
Thanks, stmcan.
Great effort.
If every individual photo has it's own page (you know where you can add comments and everything), then you can have a share button there.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for contacting JustAnswer. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you.
I am unclear as to what you mean by "less deductions"? Can you clarify?
Change your W-4 and claim more allowances. Keep in mind that no matter what you do with your W-4 allowances when April 15 comes around you will have to pay any tax liability that would be due as a result of not having enough withheld..
There is nothing you can do to reduce the amount being withheld for social security and medicare. Those amounts are a % of income fixed by law.
The "other" is most likely CASDI (California State Disability Insurance) also a % speicifed by law.
That being said, I have attached a link to IRS Form W-4 which has detailed instructions to assist you in determining the ideal number of allowances you should select so as to not owe a great deal in taxes nor get a large refund.
If you have any further questions on this topic please let me know.
Positive feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hello from florida
Hello everyone,I guess I will tell a little about myself I own a Pet Service business that offers alittle bit for everyone in Florida.Ive been training service dogs and pet dogs for the last 2 years.I also recently my first puppy.A boxer named Halo I helped give birth to Halo and her litter mates while my brother was on vacation.I have basic vet tech skills and had vets and champian breeders on call just in case.The resion halo is called halo is because when she came out she would not breath or cry much even when she did get air in her she was also pretty out of it and not wanting to really nurse like het litter mates.After abit she did nurse and has been fine since.Well I was sure to cheeck up on the litter every few days after my brother got home.One pup ended up going to a centery old circus as a traveling companion.Halo came with me and her brother is last to find a home.Well Halo is just the bestest puppy she really smart she dose not chew on anything but her toys,she dose not wiggle when I clip her claws and leaves the cats alone.she is not a jumper,barely barks or whines and is fine with her kennel and me leaveing and dose not destroy her bed.she getting pretty good at sit,down,off and leave it and working on her knowing her name ,potty training and aleting me when she needs to go.Well any ways when she came to me she had just gotten a 7 in one shot afew days befor and she came to me full of worms cuz she was never dewormed so she got dewormed right away and I slowly changed her food to a higher quility food and getting some nutra cal in the mourning because she is to tiny and skinny for her age(10 weeks).The debate is out at home on how big she is going to be.Me and my cprobly due to worms and low grade food cousin think shes going to be big while my mom thinks shes going to be small like Halo's mom.Halo has the best mix of the parents..Her fathers smarts and working drive and cailmness and her mothers sweetness but NOT her crazyness over excitment.Halo has such a cute face and really long legs and I think her paws are big.She is settling in well and begianing not to be as scared most of that I ignore and dont incourge.
BTW everyone I dont like back yard breeding as much as you do but they were not my dogs and my brother would not listen to me..and I was not about to allow a helpless puppy die if it could be helped..

Drug Testing State Employees
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A rewrite of a proposed law that allows state agencies to randomly drug-test its employees was approved by the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
Just last week, panel members voted down the bill (HB 1205) after fellow lawmakers - including Republicans - questioned its legality and its cost to taxpayers.
Rep. Jimmie T. Smith, the bill's sponsor, amended it so that no extra money for drug tests is needed; they'll be paid for out of the agencies' existing budgets.
Another change made by the Inverness Republican is that the random sample of employees to be tested can't be more than 10 percent of the agency's workforce and must be generated by an "independent third-party" computer. The bill cleared the panel by a 15-8 vote.
The measure allows, but does not require, state agencies to randomly test workers every three months. It makes it easier to fire those who show positive for drugs after a first test that has been confirmed.
Smith has said he wants to ensure a drug-free state workplace. Last year, he sponsored a law that mandates drug testing of welfare recipients; that law now is being challenged in federal court.
A separate executive order by Gov. Rick Scott requiring random drug testing of state workers resulted in a lawsuit and also is being litigated in federal court. A hearing in that case is set for Wednesday. Scott supports Smith's bill.
Rep. Paige Kreegel, a Punta Gorda Republican, acknowledged that he had been visited by one of Scott's staff members, who was gingering up support for the bill's passage.
In a surprise move, Rep. Darryl Rouson - who has spoken publicly about his past battles with drugs - was the lone Democrat to vote for the measure.
"I think it is a privilege to work for government ... why is anyone afraid of being tested for the ingestion of illegal drugs," said Rouson, who added he didn't think the legislation went far enough.
Some lawmakers who voted against the measure last week, including Republican Rep. Marti Coley of Marianna, switched their votes after Smith made the changes.
"The way to not make this an issue is not to come to work on drugs," Coley said.
Several Democrats said they could not support the bill because it will trigger an expensive legal battle.
"We get back to this pesky thing called the Constitution," said Rep. Franklin Sands, a Weston Democrat.
Drug testing invokes the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizure.
Courts generally frown on drug testing without a reasonable suspicion of employee drug use, though the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled "suspicionless" testing constitutional in a handful of situations, including on student athletes and railroad employees after a major accident.
The bill still must be passed by the full House. A similar measure is in the Senate.
