Re: ME Super diagnosis needed

You are the 2nd or 3rd person that suggested that. So I just whacked it a few 
times for the 2nd or 3rd attempt. It worked!

Thanks Bob, and thanks to all who contributed suggestions!

I'm glad it's worked well for you. It didn't for me. That's why I bought WinX.  

I said 35 titles, forgetting that six or eight of those were television series 
with 24 to 72 episodes each. No wonder my storage system has gotten so full! :-)

i've ripped more than 300 movies and episodes with Handbrake over several 
years; the occasional failures i've had have always been due to scratched

some discs)


Handbrake has got way more options than i need, but i have used the same

filename, the only thing i ever change are the subtitle settings, and rarely 
the audio track settings, for non-English discs


i use it in conjunction with MetaZ to add metadata to the rips, and load the

Thanks, Matthew.  Distance does tend to diminish the height of the
cliffs, which is why I waited until a ship came into the frame before
grabbing this image.

Thanks, John.  One for those white churches with a blue dome, was just
over my right shoulder when I took this image.  Sooner or later,l I
probably post one of my church images here.

We saw a lot of ruins and museums on this trip.  The most memorable
moments, however, are the ones quietly enjoying a meal or a drink --
preferably both -- while enjoying a spectacular vista, such as this
one or the one in my sunset shot on Mykonos.

It is indeed a tough walk, particularly because you walk on the same
path as the donkeys, who leave a lot of little surprises for the
unwary hiker.  I first visited Santorii 20 years ago, by which time
they had installed a cable car as an alternative to the donkeys.  The
trail and the cable cars take you to the main town -- Fira.  We took a
bus from the new port on the South end of the island to Oia, the most
picturesque and colorful town, located in the North.  One also takes
the bus to get to Akrotiri, the archaeological site where they are
still digging out the village buried by volcanic ash 3,600 years  or
less.

Good thought. But no help. I have worked the settings-dial back and forth a few 
times. The only position that feels different is L (Lock?). When in L position 
the shutter does not depress at all. In all other positions the shutter button 
moves but does nothing.

Santorini is a nice little island, despite there being so many tourists (and 
obviously why there are so many tourists). When I went there in the 1980s I 
think the only way up from the ferry dock was by mule, or on foot. I walked 
up, and it was tough.


The crescent shape is because it's a caldera. Think Minoan civilisation, and

Santorini is a nice little island, despite there being so many tourists (and 
obviously why there are so many tourists). When I went there in the 1980s I 
think the only way up from the ferry dock was by mule, or on foot. I walked up, 
and it was tough.

The crescent shape is because it's a caldera. Think Minoan civilisation, and 
Atlantis.

I agree; I actually had no idea that the cliffs were so imposing. The
view from the top diminishes their height relative to the buildings.

Handbrake is decent on OS X, but not great. It fails to rip about half of the

I'll second the recommendation for Handbrake.

The interface is occasionally kludgy, but you can't beat the price.

Can anyone recommend a DVD ripper to rip a commercial tv series of

It’s in Universal Disk Format (UDF).

I want to be able to load the episodes into iTunes to then play/stream

I need a ripper to use on my Mac—desktop or laptop.  I have the most

It could be an accidental omission by the young lady. Larry said she
told them he was the photographer.

The newspaper/website should know better.

Yeah, watch that first step it can be kind of tricky.

It's a classic view, but not one seen very often. It's the first time
I've seen Santorini from that angle. Almost everything you ever see in
the travelogues concentrates on that view from the top with the little

Re: One of my photos in the local paper

2016-06-02 Thread Igor PDML-StR

Larry,

I had my photos published a few times in one of Houston newspapers that has
distribution in main Texas metropolises.
Every time there was some issue: once they forgot the credits. I've noticed
that in the online version that appears before the printed one and called
them. They fixed that online and in print.
The other time they messed up the printed version of the photo almost
beyond recognition. At that point I wished the had forgotten the credits.
They didn't even bother to apologize, just shrugged their collective
shoulders: "things happen".

Since that I am very reluctant to give them my photos.

BTW, when I was giving my photos, I specified explicitly how the credit
should sound, as I've seen them not being very careful with photo
attributions. Interesting enough, after that they became more attentive to
how they credit photos, at least those that come from their own editorial team.
