Good evening Wrinkles, sebottino here. From what I understand, about two years ago the parent company of MTD went bankrupt, taking many of the mid-priced lawn equipment that they produce off the market. Troy build was one of them. Not many players in the marketplace today. Craftsman, is one, they are owned by Black & Decker and I beleive Black & Decker purchased the MTD plant, but they are only producing the Craftsman products. Black & Decker purchased the Craftsman line of products when Sears sold it.

I have used a Husqvarna Rear tine reversing tiller for several years. The model number is CRT900. I have had good luck with this unit. The small drive belt broke once on me when I hit a burried metal fence post. I don't know what other units are on the market, as I said, the Husqvarna has worked well for me.

Hello, sebottino here. If you press the small button with the right facing arrow, the in the upper left hand corner of your camera, just below the ISO selector knob, it should take you to the images stored on you camera, then page through them using the multi selector button.

Good evening, sebottino here. If you press the small right facing arrow in the upper left hand corner of the camera the one just under the ISO setting knob, it should take you to the images saved in the camera.

Good evening Jerry, from my experience with rechargeable batteries in the power tool field it does not matter what device you leave them in, they will generally loose 1 to 2 percent of their charge over a 24 to 48 hour period. The amount of charge they will loose depends on the ambient temperature of the place where they are being stored. Warmer places increases the voltage loss while cooler places reduces the loss. I'd be interested to see what results your experiment produces.

Hello Jerry, sebottino here (again). Here is the direct link for the Nikon ViewNX-i software.

Good Evening Jerry, sebottino here. Try downloading "Fileassassin" from Malwarebytes. It's a free download. Just drag and drop the offending file into the Fileassassin folder and you will be presented with various options to delete in.

Really Bob, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Do you really believe that something could go wrong with a few marketing type programs simply monitoring how much ink my printer uses, wait a minute, there is someone at the front door, . . . , not to worry it's just a few FBI types who said my "Alexa" reported to them some disparaging remarks I made last night regarding Nancy Pelosi. They tell me I'll be back in 5 to 10 minutes, wait, what, . . . , YEARS! not minutes. Can I as least sign off on my ..............................

Good Morning Jerry, sebottino here.

I sent you a private message regarding this, don't know if you received it or not. I am using a Hewlett Packard Office Jet Pro 8210. It does duplex printing as well. I generate lots of pages per month, have been using the Instant Ink for a long time. By my estimates I save around $200 per year based on the expenses I have logged on other printers while not using the Instant Ink program. Your printer needs to be connected to your wireless system as Hewlett Packard reads your printing demands and sends you cartridges well in advance of them going empty, and they only send you cartridges that need replacing. You need to replace the original cartridges with the Instant Ink cartridges. You can change the number of pages in your plan at any time. If you look at the cost you pay Hewlett Packard per year for the program I am sure you will see it is less expensive than if you were to purchase ink once a year, and you never need to run to the store to get the ink. Hewlett Packard provides a free return envelope for your spent cartridges. Take a look, the program is well worth it.

Jerry, you pick your plan based on the number of pages you print in a month, you pay that amount to Hewlett Packard per month, when your printer gets low on ink they send you new cartridges for free.

Good Evening Ed,

Steve Bottino here.Today is Monday, August 19th, it is about 8:30 PM. I thought I sent you a private message, but it appears not to have happened. I have been using Affinity for about 3 or 4 years. I have taken a shot at re-working your photo. You can see it on my photo web site at www.sebottino.com. Look for the folder titled, "Ed's Photo." I used the clone brush and selected parts of the image that did not have the reflection that you wanted to eliminate and painted over those parts with the area I selected to clone. You can e-mail me at sebottino@frontier.com if you need more information on using that technique.

Best,

Good Evening Ed,
Today is Monday, August 19th, it is about 7:29 PM. I looked at your church photo. I have been using Affinity for about 2 years. Go to my photo web-site, www.sebottino.com. Look for the folder titled (17) - Ed's Photo.
I used the clone brush to select areas around the image that did not have a reflection in them and painted that part of the image over the part I wanted to replace. You can e-mail me at sebottino.com if you need more information. I think the finished image looks pretty good, but I did not spend a lot of time on the editing.

Let me know your thoughts,

I have been creating video shows from still photos for some time. I've used many different software packages, both free and purchased, all have their good and bad points. My personal favorites are the following. For creating, editing, adding titles and effects I like Photodex ProShow Gold. It is a purchased product, you can look up Photodex to locate it. For burning the DVD I prefer another purchased product, Sothink Movie DVD Maker, just search Sothink to find that one.

There is a learning curve for each of these products. Photodex ProShow Gold has a build process that will burn the DVD and add your original images to the DVD, in a seperate file, so that your customers can print any photo used in your video.

One other point. I always use photo editing software to re-size the stills and make them all the same size and resolution, 4x6, 300 pixels. This make the build process run faster and the finished video images have a better, consintent look to them.
