Strange that you should say that, because I may have just seen a covey of these over at the local WalMartzzz...

orangedrink: You are 100% correct on all counts!

orangedrink: That's it exactly...they forgot to put the stupid loop in place (!).

I understand your remarks; they are very much appreciated, and:

Understood...appreciated...and:

And what company manufactures (air) suction pumps capable of evacuating (even) 100 miles of 20-foot diameter tubing? Jeebus...the cost of operating and maintaining such a system would be monumental...even for the Great Country of China.

Redacted (duplicate post).

Rusty0101 has made an excellent suggestion...and I suggest that you take his advice, because the post "Build Your Own Photography Lights For Under $15" is total bullcrap...so much so that the post should be dismissed by the author (or whatever he calls himself).

Thank you for a very nice grouping of what appears to be simply great recipes, as well as amazing photographs. In honor of your gracious post, I will no longer swill my vodka out of the bottle...no sir...I will sip it from a bent straw.
