I am doing a word play with food photography. I am looking for something catchy and not to long.

I just got an e-mail inviting me to enter images. Like with any contest I real the contest rules first. Here is just one paragraph which is a nasty rights grab. Has anyone links to more such bad contest rules?

"GRANT OF RIGHTS: By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees Sponsor and its designees shall have a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and irrevocable license, to exploit, edit, modify, post, stream, re-format, broadcast and distribute the entry and all elements of such entry, including, without limitation, the names and likenesses of any persons or locations embodied therein, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide, without compensation, permission or notification to entrant or any third party." source food2.com warning beware don't enter

After 17 it looks like our air condition unit is at its end. I would like to do some research on air condition units heat pump combos. Most of what I have searched so far is more Brand driven and does not give me a good idea which units are more reliable. We have a 1700 squarefoot house in Jersey.

Which brand/unit give me the best value for the price?

What prices to expect?

What to look out for etc.?

Who to buy them from?

Is a large store like Sears better than a smaller contractor?

Thanks

Our air conditioner fan outside is not running. Before calling a repair guy in I would like to trouble shoot the unit. I already checked if there was a re-set button which there does not seem to be one. I also checked and all the circuits are on, no fuse blown. What else can I do trouble shooting wise ?

Thanks

I am a mother of 2. We moved to another state and home to be in a better school district. All along DH promised I would get a space to run my business.

Neither home was really set up for it but he still promised we would ad to the homes or renovates to fit my needs. This is our second home without me having a workspace to run my business. I recommended against buying this house. It has cost me loss of income not having my workspace.

We just had another contractor looking at our house and even consulted an architect just for him to tell me it is not going to happen. I am furious as this is now the 7th year of my situation. I believe I have given it enough time. Now I am wondering if I should not simply get my bachelor degree find a job that can support my children and myself and move on. I am simply fed up with this situation. It makes me insecure and too much dependent on my DH. He does not want to go to counseling. But if we did he would simply tell me he knows what my concerns are and claim we can't afford the improvement. He has used that excuse when I knew that was not the case. I just don't feel I can go on living for every ones else happiness and totally ignore my own needs.

I was wondering how one can get into a profession which has to do with renewable energy. Are there courses offered?

I am looking for a fish I can fry or cook whole but is not too large and has a pink or red skin. I am not sure which fish fits this description.

Thanks

My zucchini and squash are showing signs of stress. They did great and produced lots of vegetable but now the leaves are covered with a white dust and they are rotting on the stem. I was told to put lime stone on them. I am not sure if it is doing much. Any other advise? We did have some strong rains but not every day. I don't think it is due to over watering. I did cut out the damaged leaves.

I painted our mailbox with oil paint and now am looking for a protective coding. I was told it should be an oil base clear spray paint. Most spay paint are acrylic. Does anyone know who makes an oil base spray? Or what I should use to protect the artwork on the mailbox?

Thanks

Our garden is really doing well. Now as some of the summer crops are coming to an end we are wondering what we can plant now to be able to harvest in Fall?

Thanks

I just visited New Orleans. I was surprised for sure. This was my first time and all the information I got about New Orleans was so off base. It is all back and running. It felt save. The people where super friendly and there was so much fantastic food I need to go back to try more. Not all spicey like I assumed. It is a great place to visit with your whole family.

So what has been your impression of New Orleans?

Have you been back since Katrina?

Did you visit at a time of year other than the Marti Gra?

I remember a class mate of mine using some kind of chemical. I believe it came in the form of a spray. With that she was able to make a print on wood in the darkroom. Does anyone here know what it was called?

Are you still clueless why they are striking?

I am looking for the real carriage house garage doors not the imitation ones. I need them to swing open. I want to remove my existing garage doors which open to the top. Do companies take old garage doors in good condition as trade in?

Thanks

I want to insulate our 2 car attaged garage in order to use it as a photo studio. Could anyone recommend a insulation materials and tell me why you used that material?

Thanks

I am planing to paint interior doors. Currently they are beige and seem to have a tint of aging plastic. They are hallow contractor grade raisin doors from what I can tell. The new door color would mainly be semi gloss or satin white. I read on several sites to use oil based primer. Why use oil based to water base primer?

Thanks
