Hi everybody!
I've just signed up...
Just few days ago someone told me about this chance of installing MacOS X on a PC, so I started googling about it and found lots of guides, how-to's etc. etc..
I'm very interested in installing Snow Leopard on my PC but I'm facing some problems about it.
First, most of the procedures I've found require you to use an already-working OSX installation in order to prepare USB sticks... But I don't have any Macs nor can I borrow one.
Besides, and here comes the worse problem (the first can be avoided with appropriate iso's), I can't understand what I have to do if I want to dual-boot Windows 7 and Snow Leopard.
It looks like you need two physical HD's, because using two partitions on the same HD can cause problems with Win (something about MBR and GUID...); problem is I don't have two physical HD's ...
Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to install Snow Leopard on the external HDD I have, as a workaround to this partitions problem...
Yet, I still can't understand what I have to do . As I've already said, I'm unable to prepare the USB stick to boot from for the installation, and I've just noticed there are lots of softwares you can use to run the installation, but I don't know what to choose.
So, in the end, my question is: what should I do ?
Would the dual-boot solution cause me problems?
Is the external-HDD solution better?
Just in case, here my HW configuration:
-mainboard ASUS P5KC
-Intel Core2Duo E6750 @2.66GHz
-2GB of DDR2 RAM
-Asus EAH 3870 512MB
I'm sorry if my English is not perfect but, you know, I'm italian ^^"...
Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me ^^.

Another senario if we sign Butler:
It's been said that Worlids is better suited to play on Woodley's side, let Butler and Worlids compete for replacing JH. Butler could possibly win out in that competition and then you have a solid backup to Woodley especially him and his injuries.
In either case is gives us better depth than we have now and wouldn't have to pull the trigger early on OLB when you need immediate help on the offense.
Butler won't sign here for depth or depth money. He will be signed and battle Worilds for ROLB. We will get the best out of Worilds and see if he is worth a new contract. What this does is keep the heat on Woodley. Best case scenario, we end up with 3 starting caliber OLBs & one plays 2013 on the cheap. If Woodley doesn't meet expectations in 2013.....
New Orleans Saints would be high target for LB Victor Butler if he leaves Steelers visit, source says
By Larry Holder, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
March 14, 2013
The New Orleans Saints would be high on the target list for Cowboys free-agent linebacker Victor Butler if he leaves his Thursday visit with Pittsburgh without a contract, according to a source. The problem for the Saints is Butler may not leave Pittsburgh as the Steelers are pushing hard to land the 25-year-old linebacker.
New Orleans just agreed to terms with former Steelers cornerback Keenan Lewis on Thursday, but the hefty contract is salary-cap friendly this season as Lewis' cap number will only be $2.2 million. This means the Saints left themselves some wiggle room to acquire another piece for their defense.
The Saints are certainly looking for outside linebackers for their new 3-4 defensive scheme and Butler would fit the bill. Butler played under Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan the last two seasons in Dallas and would have a firm grasp of the system in New Orleans.
New Orleans was willing to spend money on linebacker Paul Kruger as the Saints finished runner-up to Cleveland to sign one of the top free-agent pass rushers.
So what's the hold up...whats going on? Nothing can be found about how Butler's visit went.

Steelers shouldn't let Victor Butler leave without a contract
by Gerry Dulac
Former Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Victor Butler is visiting the Steelers today and they would be wise not to let him leave without his signature on a contract..
Not only is Butler being pursued by the Jets and the Saints, who have hired his former defensive coordinator in Dallas, Rob Ryan.
But he is a talented, up-and-coming outside edge rusher who just happened to be playing behind two Pro Bowlers with the Cowboys DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer.
Butler is 6-foot-2, 245 pounds and was a pass-rush specialist with the Cowboys. If nothing else, he would give the Steelers more depth on the outside; more important, he would certainly push Jason Worilds to be the replacement for James Harrison on the right side.

When you are purchasing your next stamp for business or personal use, you may want to consider self-inking stamps. Self-inking stamps provide many benefits over traditional stamps that require an ink pad and there are many reasons why people prefer self-inking stamps over the traditional stamp-and-pad model.
So, what are some of those reasons you'll enjoy self-inking stamps?
- Convenience of use: It is faster and easier to use a self inking stamp since you cut out a step in the stamping process. This matters a great deal when you are stamping hundreds of documents in a day.
- Easy storage: No more worrying about storing a stamp and ink pad separately- you have one compact package.
- Out-of-the-box use: Since your self inking stamp doesn't require a separate ink pad, you can use a self-inking stamp anytime and anywhere without needing any accessories.
- Less mess: Ink pads can create the potential for a significant mess, especially if you are using the stamps for crafts and have small children.
These are just a few of the many reasons why you will enjoy self-inking stamps. A1 Stamps has a wide selection of self-inking stamps available, so try one out for your next stamp purchase.

See the Particle Tracing Module in Action
Phil Kinnane | January 10, 2012
The release of Version 4.2a was an exciting event for us at COMSOL. I had the opportunity to see a preview of new products and the big one for me was the Particle Tracing Module. Many of our customers and colleagues in the simulation industry had been requesting this for quite some time. I must admit that I thought it was just because they wanted a different type of postprocessing feature; another way of looking at streamlines.
But Dan Smith, who had come to us from the semiconductor manufacturing industry and was actually one of our first customers, had a different vision. He said that we needed to be able to solve problems based on Lagrangian methods. To a chemical engineer like myself, he illustrated the types of phenomena requiring particle tracing by pointing to 'diffusionless' systems. These are systems, like the static mixer shown in the accompanying video, where mixing is basically only possible through convection. And it's not only within mass transfer and fluid flow that such systems exist. Other examples include particles, ions and electrons affected by electromagnetic fields, as well as acoustophoresis.
Dan will be presenting Particle Tracing Module on Thursday, in a webinar hosted by NASA Tech Briefs. You can sign up for it here http://video.webcasts.com/events/particletracing. I hope you can make it.

Apsfilter is a magic printfilter, allowing you to print different document types "automagically" without having to convert them manually into something which is understood by your printer. Apsfilter is a mature and powerful printing solution for any flavor of Unix running lpd or LPRng. It supports the latest GhostScript version and 3rd-party printer drivers (such as hpijs, ijs, hpdj, pcl3, and gimp-print). It autodetects lots of file, archive, and compression types. It supports printing on local as well as on Appletalk, Unix, and Windows remote printers. General and "per printer-queue" based config files allow you to configure the printer for your needs. The lpr command line options allow you to change printing parameters like print quality, orientation, duplex mode, etc. "on the fly" without having to edit any config file. A SETUP script helps you to test various supported ghostscript drivers prior installation, makes the necessary entries in /etc/printcap, creates spool directories, and creates apsfilter default config files as needed. A handbook in HTML is available. Several tools are also included: "aps2file" allows you to print to a file via apsfilter, "apspreview" previews files as generated by apsfilter using gv and friends, and "apsfilter-bug" assists you in doing bug and problem reports.

One of my dearest friends was involved in planning this past weekend's Children's Charity Ball at the Hartford Golf Club to benefit The Bridge Family Center in West Hartford. She invited my husband and me to be guests at her table.
Well, what is the first thing that a busy mom thinks when she is invited to a fancy affair?
What on earth am I going to wear?!
Knowing I had zero time to shop for a dress, I rifled through my closet to see what might magically appear. I found two outfits that could possibly be semi-appropriate for a winter party. One, a velvet-ish dress from a discount store that I never wore because it had the annoying tendency to stick to my legs with a static-cling vengeance. Does anyone wear slips anymore? I'm just not sure.
Second, a satin-y strapless paintsuit that I was utterly thrilled still fit me after twelve years gathering dust...but, it seemed oddly out-of-a-fashion and I didn't want to be plagued by a late-90's vibe during one of my few nights out as a grown-up.
When I discussed this important quandary (sarcasm) with a girlfriend, she said: "Why don't you Rent the Runway?"
"Rent the Runway?!" I asked, perplexed.
She went on to explain that this is an online service which she learned about on The Today Show.
"Why not?" I thought.
I checked out the web site -- RenttheRunway.com -- and was surprised to see a vast array of pretty gowns from designers such as Shoshanna, Calvin Klein and Cynthia Rowley. I picked out a lovely deep-red dress by Zac Posen called "Love At First Sight"...which was the topic of many jokes....and I went for it. I rented this $600 dress for $50.00, with a coupon for a "first-time renter". I thought this was a pretty affordable endeavor. But, still, I was really wondering if renting a garment would be great...or disastrous.
The dress arrived two days before the party. When I answered the door, my affable UPS guy said: "Hey Sarah - you rented the runway?! Have a great time at your shin-dig!" I laughed....the logos all over the box don't exactly make this a secretive move.
I raced upstairs to investigate my mysterious rental. Would it be too small? Would it smell? Would I end up wearing the staticy discount dress, after all?
Miracle of all miracles, it fit like a glove. And, the company sends along a free spare dress in the next size, just in case. It was beautiful...no weird spots...no weird scents.
Well, I sashayed around the party in "Love At First Sight" with great success. I am used to wearing rumpled Mom clothes...lucky to find something without any stains or wrinkles...so, it was a treat to feel good during a rare night out.
The only complaint I have is this: sending the dress back was confusing. Rent the Runway instructs folks to place the dress in a pre-paid padded envelope and simply stick it in any blue USPS box, just like a letter. But, my post office box had a big sign on it: "No items larger than 13 ounces, please!" So, I waited until this morning to hand it to a postal worker myself.
But, all in all, this was a good experience....kind of a fun experiment with a high-end garment that I would never plunk down the cash to purchase.
Tell me...would you rent a dress for "Mom's Night Out"?!

This gave me the idea to start the MIT Survey on Science, Religion and Origins, which we're officially publishing today in honor of Charles Darwin's 204th birthday. We found that only 11 percent of Americans belong to religions openly rejecting evolution or our Big Bang. So if someone you know has the same stressful predicament as my student, chances are that they can relax as well. To find out for sure, check out this infographic.
So is there a conflict between science and religion? The religious organizations representing most Americans clearly don't think so. Interestingly, the science organizations representing most American scientists don't think so either: For example, the American Association for the Advancement of Science states that science and religion "live together quite comfortably, including in the minds of many scientists." This shows that the main divide in the U.S. origins debate isn't between science and religion, but between a small fundamentalist minority and mainstream religious communities who embrace science.
So why is this small fundamentalist minority so influential? How can some politicians and school-board members get reelected even after claiming that our 14 billion-year-old universe might be only about 6,000 years old? That's like claiming that 90-year-old aunt is only 20 minutes old. It's tantamount to claiming that if you watch this video of a supernova explosion in the Centaurus A Galaxy about 10 million light-years away, you're seeing something that never happened, because light from the explosion needs 10 million years to reach Earth. Why isn't making such claims political suicide?

By Liliana Moyano for Shine LatinaHallaca, the final product!
My Latin friends are all holiday fanatics, and every one of our festivities comes with a great deal of pre-production. The first gathering of the year was Mari's Thanksgiving leftover party where everyone had to wear ugly Christmas sweaters, and decorate the tree. Next up is Tati's Venezuelan Christmas kick off party. Here, once again, we decorate the Christmas tree, and everyone cooks a traditional dish from Venezuela. Most importantly, this is the party where Boris gets to make hallacas. He claims to make the best ones in town.Guiso ready to cool down
Hallacas are a kind of tamale (don't tell Venezuelans that!) made with corn-based dough, pork, chicken and meat- all wrapped in a plantain leaf and cooked slowly. This year I decided to document the preparation process from start to finish, only to realize how much work and patience making hallacas requires. On the other hand, I enjoyed taking that first bite with great appreciation.
We started by meeting one day to make what Tati calls the guiso, or stew, which he makes for the filling. This type of stew needs to be cooked a day in advance so all the juices can blend to perfection. The next day, Boris made the dough in the morning, followed by wrapping the hallacas in the evening.
The end result is this exquisite, savory dish filled with meats, vegetables and rich juices- a perfect combination in every bite.
(Makes 30 Hallacas)Making the dough
Guiso - Ingredients
2 lbs. round beef
2 1/2 lbs. pork loin
10 cups water
2 large chicken breasts
4 tbsp. canola oil
12 garlic cloves, minced
2 bell peppers, finely chopped
2 large white onions, finely chopped
4 sweet Sichuan peppers, chopped (low heat)
1 cup pitted manzanilla olives, finely chopped
1/2 cup capers, drained and finely chopped
1 cup raisins in 1 cup water
2 cups red cooking wine
1 cup smoked ham, chopped
Try this with my Colombian eggnog for a perfect Christmas party!
Chop the pork loin and beef into large pieces, and place them in a large pot at medium heat with 5 cups of water. Bring them to a boil. Repeat the process with the chicken breasts in a separate pot, ensuring the water covers all the meat, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the meats from the water, and let them cool down. Save the meat broth from the pork and round beef in the fridge to use it later when preparing the dough. Once all the meats are at room temperature, chop them finely, leaving one chicken breast aside.
Place the oil in a large pan at medium heat, and add the garlic, peppers, sweet Sichuan peppers, onions and olives. Cook the mix for 10 minutes, or until the onions become transparent. Add the chopped meats, olives and capers, and stir well.
Rehydrate the raisins by covering them with water in a large bowl, letting them absorb the liquid for 20 minutes. Drain the raisins, and add them into the meat mixture along with 2 cups of red cooking. Finally, add the chopped ham. Turn the heat down to low, and cook for another 30 minutes. Remove from the heat letting the mix cool down overnight.Closing the hallacas
Masa (corn dough)
1/2 lb. pork belly, in chunks
4 tbsp. canola oil
1 tbsp. annatto seeds (achiote)
6 garlic cloves, whole
4 cups corn flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups leftover meat broth
Salt to taste
1 cup canola oil and annatto (achiote) blend
60 8x8 plantain leaves
Directions - putting hallacas together
Place the pork belly chunks in a flat pan at medium heat with the canola oil, annatto and garlic. Cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Place the corn flour in a large pan, and spread it evenly. Drain the pork belly pieces, and set them aside. Pour the leftover oil mix on the corn flour. Mix the flour and oil with clean hands. Add the chicken and meat broths gradually, until the mix attains a golden color. Continue mixing, adding salt to taste, plus the annatto/canola oil blend. Once the dough thickens, make approximately 3-4 inch balls of dough and set aside.
Hallaca wrapped and ready to cook Making the hallacas
30 dough balls, previously made
1 chicken breast, shredded
2 red peppers, julienned
1 medium white onion, julienned
1 cup raisins
1 cup manzanilla olives, drained
1 cup carrots, diced
Wipe the plantain leaves gently with a wet towel on both sides.
Grab each dough ball, and place it on the soft side of the plantain leaf. Press it down with your hands stretching the dough on the plantain leaf and forming a circle. Fill the circle with the guiso, and top it with a couple of strips of chicken, peppers and onions. Finish by topping with 5-8 raisins, 5 olives and 2 carrot pieces. Carefully close the ends of the plantain leaf, and tuck them underneath. Wrap in another plantain leaf to preserve the juices. Close the hallaca using string on each end (see image). Repeat the process with each hallaca until all the dough balls are prepared, filled and wrapped. Place the hallacas in a deep pot at medium-low heat, and cover them with water. Cook for 20-30 minutes, and remove from the water. Once cooked, you can keep them in the fridge, and warm them up in the microwave as needed.

"We used the Big Photo folded cards as Thank You cards from our daughter who had fallen ill during the summer. The multi-photo layout on the inside allowed us to photographically telll her story by showing the progression of her illness and how she then improved and got well. I was pleasantly surprised how well the photos (taken with my phone, emailed to my email address, then uploaded to Tiny Prints) looked on the card. They were relatively clear, given the iffy quality of the original photos. The layout also allowed us to include a lot of information on the back of the card, which was great for our purposes. I would use this Big Photo card again for other occasions."
"I have tried all of the online greeting card services. This is by far the best. I think the key may lie in the fact that they have employees who check the quality, color, etc. of the digital image before printing the cards. On another note, the word past time in your "Share something about yourself" section is misspelled."
"I loved the fact that the "christmas ribbon" and "bells" could be removed from the inside. I needed a blank interior. If this can be done with other styles of cards, that should be advertised. The large card size is impressive. My black and white portrait on the cover is a classic."
"Tiny Prints did an amazing job helping me with my christmas card this year. I even received a call on a saturday night from one of the designers informing me that my card would look better if I sent them a higher rez picture. I was so grateful he called and alerted me that my first picture wasn't going to work. They did a great job and I couldn't of been happier."
"We used a sketch that my husband did and I colorized on my computer, so it was not your typical photo. We did not want the typical "holiday photo card" look, and this filled the biill. The color reproduction was perfect and the paper was of excellent quality. It looks like original art. Very happy with the product and the speed of service. Also recommend the electronic proof."

Cpn Simple
Cpni Simple- The shortest explanation we could think of!
Diagram from David Wheldoni (http://www.davidwheldon.co.uk/killing.jpg) used by permission.
Phases of the Cpn bacteria and what agents effect those phases:
EBi's- Elementary Body What are they? EB's are spore-like forms which are infectious and metabolize minimally (aren't using nutrients, replicating, exchanging with the environment, etc.). They are tough, tiny and reside in the intercellulari tissues (outside of actual body cells). What do they do? EB's attach to your body's cells and invade them. Since there can be more EB's than can get into cells, EB's build up in local tissues causing inflammationi and immunei response.
What kills them? They are killed by amoxicillini, which is transformed to penicilamine in your own body, and destroys the bonds which hold the EB cell wall together. An amino acid NACi (N-acetyl cysteine) also is used for this purpose. What happens? When you kill them, they release toxin into the tissues in which they have built up, and you get inflammation and pain there, which can last for days or weeks afterwards before you feel relief of symptoms. Most people taking NAC report a period of flu-like feeling of malaise, achyness, nunning nose, perhaps coughling.
RB's- Reticulate Body What are they? Once an EB enters a host cell it transforms into a form which can replicate new EB's which is called a Reticulate Body or RB. The RB has no energy source of it's own for this, so it must steal energy (ATP) from the host cell, leaving the host cell weakened and less functional. The RB also inhibits the natural cell deathi of the host cell so that it can survive while it replicates. After the production of many new EB's the host cell bursts and dies, spreading the infectious new EB's into the surrounding tissue.RB's are inhibited in replicating by various antibiotics such as doxycycline, azithromycin, roxythromycin and others, and subject to this will convert into the Cryptic (and nonreplicating) form where they can be killed by metronidazole. RB's are prevented from forming by rifamcini.
Cryptic formi What are they? When RB's face an environment which threatens their survival inside a cell (lack of food, antibiotic attack, etc) they can transform into a "Cryptic" form which stays inside the cell, but is in hibernation, so to speak. What do they do? In this form it is not vulnerable to regular antibiotics and can reside there until conditions change, then become an RB again and start to replicate and reinfect with EB's. What kills them? Flagyl (metronidazole) or Tinactini (tinidazole) are used to kill the cryptic forms of Cpn. Nitrofurantoin, an old urinary tract infection drug, also has antichalmydial effect in this phase. These drugs can be hard to tolerate for various reasons, and so are commonly "pulsed" by taking a course for 5 days every 3-4 weeks, rather than taken continuously. Some protocolsi may eventually have one of these drugs taken continuously for some period as the patient can tolerate. Patients may experience fatigue, nausea, bowel upset, deep joint achyness and muscle pain as the cryptic orgnanisms are killed and the immune system engages in clean up.
Much of the discomfort from treating Cpn is a combination of the organism's endotxin itself, and the inflammation caused by your own immune system (cytokinei) reactions to that.
Amoxicillan and NAC kills the infectious spore-like EB forms which build up in the tissues.
Rifamcin kills EB's transforming to RB's in a vulnerable enzyme transformation phase.
Doxycycline and either Rozithromycin or Azithromycin, are used in combination to interfere with the RB's ability to replicate. Two are used which work on different proteins to minimize creating resistance.
Supplementsi are recommended to help counter the impact of Cpn on the body, and of the inflammatory effect of the die off during treatment.
Treatment can take months to years to completely eradicate Cpn from the body.What diseases has it been implicated in?

Silent Kidney Disease Tied To Heart Attacks And Early DeathPosted: Friday, August 15, 2008
Chronic kidney disease doubles the risk of heart attack, stroke, and early mortality, even among young and middle-aged adults, according to results of a nationwide screening program.
Chronic kidney disease is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease in elderly people. New data from the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), reported in the August issue of the American Heart Journal, provides the first proof that the danger is not restricted to people over the age of 65.
The research team at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, was led by Dr. Peter A. McCullough, vice chair of the Foundation's KEEP program.
"We used to think that chronic kidney disease was just an issue of getting older," Dr. McCullough said. "But when we took age out of the equation, we found that kidney disease can affect even young adults."
However, by routinely testing all adults for kidney disease, those at risk for premature cardiovascular disease can be identified and treated, increasing their chances of a normal lifespan.
In the study, more than 30,000 individuals over 18 years of age with a family history of hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease were tested between 2000 and 2005. Participants answered questions about past heart attacks and strokes, and blood and urine specimens were collected for laboratory testing.
To ensure that results could not be attributed to old age, the study was restricted to men less than 55 years old and women less than 65 years old. The researchers determined mortality by cross-checking against national data systems.
Twenty percent of subjects were found to have chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Among those with CKD, roughly 5% had a premature heart attack or stroke, versus 2.5% of those without CKD. The mortality rate was four times higher in the CKD group (total 50 deaths out of 6000 individuals during the 5 years after screening) than in those with normal kidney function (total 44 deaths out of 23,000 individuals).
The worst survival occurred among those with both CKD and a history of heart attack or stroke.
"The vast majority of these people were in the prime of their life," Dr. McCullough noted. "This is a call to action that Americans need to improve their health."
He suggests that kidney damage causes biological changes in the body that accelerate vascular injury throughout the body.
He recommends that all adults at risk for kidney disease -- anyone who is overweight, smokes or has high blood pressure, diabetes, and a family history of kidney disease-- routinely be checked for albumin in their urine and for reduced kidney function. If detected, risk factors for heart disease and stroke have to be addressed.
"These simple tests can motivate patients to change their lives including losing body fat, controlling blood pressure, treating diabetes, and quitting cigarette smoking," he said.

Well, I would like to see it straight, but I would also like to know if something underneath prevented it from going in perfectly straight. It is something you should call the guy about, and see what he has to say.
After installation of the faucets I notcied the spout is off center and the faucets are not equal in the distance from the off position. Is it typical for the home owner to make these adjustments or call the plumber back and have them make the changes.
Well, I would like to see it straight, but I would also like to know if something underneath prevented it from going in perfectly straight. It is something you should call the guy about, and see what he has to say.
Did you check to see if the holes in the sink (lav) were drilled on center?
I can't tell you how many times I've seen clay sinks that were not round, centered or consistent.
Is it the product?
Or the eye of the installer?
Where you there when he installed it?
There are many things preventing good installs. The biggest problem is with solid surface counter tops and the cut outs for sinks. Many times you need to eat away at the wood underneath so the plumber has room to do his job.
I use forstner drill bits and my Fein multimaster to give the plumber some room.
Like mentioned above the sinks can come out of wack. This should have been inspected day one before the plumber was called to the site.
If you call the plumber back to fix his mistake and the sink is out or the sink cut out is wrong you are going to pay twice for sure. If your plumber just did a sloopy install he should fix it for free.
The fact that it was installed off center in the first place is alarming - this should have been brought to your attention durning the install.
It takes a long time to find the right plumber - when you find him treat him like he is family (he can be with you for a long long time).
email@example.com - www-no-curb.com - 604 506 6792
Always get construction advice double checked by your local city hall. Flood Test Every Shower - Every Time.
It's little things like this that should motivate you to DIY.
Looks like the tile guy messed up too . On the plumbing side of it , the plumber or whoever installed the faucet should come back and straighten the spout and align the handles . Easy fix . The tile job ( Not being centered ) is really bothering me and would not want that in my house .
Right handle is off too.
One good thing about older model taps is that everthing was ridgid underneath. It meant that if it was slightly out of line the whole thing was out of line together. Easier to straighten. With the spout there is can be a support post and if that was drilled skewed then it is harder to fix without jepordizing the firmness or security of the spout. But so I don't dishearten you, if could be a very simple fix and all will be happy in no time.
A simple bump with your hand will straighten out the faucet spout. The hot and cold barrels can be rotated to even out the handles. Once they were tightened, which happens before the handles are installed, the orientation of the handles depends on how the faucet's handle splines work out. The handle can only be indexed according to them, which is why I prefer to install them at a forward angle rather than exactly 180 degrees from each other, (which is much more apparent than a difference in degrees when they are at an angle. If the faucet has washers, then it doesn't make a lot of difference because they will continually change position as the washer seats itself and then starts to wear.

Towards sustainable urban planning in Jerusalem
28 March 2012 | News story
4 Comments | Write a comment
International experts in ecology, biodiversity management and community engagement gathered in Jerusalem with key Israeli specialists to produce strategies for URBIS – an emerging urban biosphere concept. URBIS aims to promote sustainability in city planning transcending municipal boundaries and fostering regional cooperation.
URBIS's aim is to engender cities with greater socio-ecological benefits by promoting sustainable planning, policies and landscape management at the bio-regional level. It proposes a designation process to recognize efforts of local governments in engaging in participatory approaches to urban planning for sustainability, networking, sharing experiences and successes with other cities.
The Jerusalem Municipality, through the office of Deputy Mayor Naomi Tsur, has partnered with the Dead Sea Drainage Authority, ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (an IUCN Member), the Jerusalem Development Authority, the Jerusalem Wastewater and Purification Company and the Beracha Foundation to explore Jerusalem's landscape, projects and initiatives as a case study for the development of the URBIS concept.
Over the last decade, the international community has increasingly focused on integrating the theme of biodiversity into urban sustainability. Jerusalem's entry into these discussions came in 2009 and since then the community interest in urban nature has been fostered through the work of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), one of IUCN's Members, and a survey of valuable urban nature sites has been undertaken.
"Strengthening the connection between urban environments and their surrounding green spaces helps provide natural solutions to address urban challenges and to shape a sustainable future for cities," said Chantal van Ham, European Programme Officer of the IUCN European Union Representative Office "It was inspiring to be part of this international exchange of experiences and to see growing awareness of the link between urban development and natural ecosystems here in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Europe. Demonstrating and sharing knowledge and best practices on urban ecological processes is an excellent way to improve the integration of biodiversity into urban planning".
A rich variety of flora and fauna characterizes Israel. Yet Israel's biological diversity is endangered largely as a result of accelerated development and population growth. While about 20 percent of Israel's land area is preserved within declared nature reserves, most of these are located in the desert area. Only about three percent of the Mediterranean region is protected in nature reserves.
In the coming years, Israel is expected to become the most densely populated country in the Western world. The SPNI has recently published a report on Israel's planning and building threats to open spaces, which presents a very disconcerting trend towards development pressures with negative environmental, social and economic consequences.
Despite the many threats to urban nature areas, arising from breaches in the urban planning policy, the SPNI is optimistic about a budding cooperation with the business sector, increased public involvement and the willingness of government agencies to establish a dialogue for proactive sustainable development. Cooperation on developing the URBIS concept for the city of Jerusalem contributes to this dialogue.
The residents of Jerusalem are concerned about the protection of urban wildlife sites. A prominent example is the so-called "Gazelle Valley" in the urban heartland of several West Jerusalem neighbourhoods. The valley is reserved as a natural zone for wildlife and recreation. It is best known for a herd of mountain gazelles, which survived the massive urban development of the area, which is one of the few remaining natural valleys in the city.
There is enormous potential for community urban wildlife sites to create win-win situations for people and the environment. The advantages are enormous not only in terms of biodiversity conservation but also for education, employment, research, health and the overall quality of life for urban citizens. This belief is at the heart of the URBIS concept.

The ecological approach to transforming urban systems to more sustainable and resilient forms requires cutting across municipal boundaries to understand the flows of goods and services in and out of the urban core and how to improve the management of the biodiversity that supports these ecosystem services. We made good progress on establishing this in Jerusalem, building on the excellent work already being done at SPNI, the Ministry of the Environment, and others. I look forward to seeing what the Jerusalem urban region can achieve as a leader in regional urban planning for sustainability.

It was truely a great workshop. It was inspiring to have people with such passion in one room!

The URBIS workshop enabled us to think how to develop the urban biosphere concept with peer cities and organizations. An eco-system-based planning approach, unconstrained by municipal borders, taking into consideration all three UN climate conventions, integrating the three pillars of sustainability and working together with important stakeholders such as SPNI, is a sustainable planner's dream. Can it work? I believe that URBIS, a city-based model for biodiversity conservation, is going to be the most relevant framework for planning in the future. This must be an international team effort.

It was indeed a pleasure to host the international URBIS team in Jerusalem for an intensive "meeting of the minds" on sustainable development and urban biosphere protection. There is no question, discussions of this type promote strategies and partnerships for sound and smart urban planning on a global level. Jerusalem is proud to be a member of this distinguished team. We look forward to following the URBIS biosphere concept as it emerges, and the continued sharing of best practices for nature conservation with our international colleagues.

The Bears thought so. They legitimately wanted him back and offered him $2 million per season to return.
- PHOTOS: Photos: Brian Urlacher in action
- Photos: 10 key Brian Urlacher moments
VOTE: Urlacher best all-time Bears middle linebacker?
Up until this point, it may have appeared that not many others in the NFL thought so. That's why Urlacher still was unsigned.
But he would have been signed. In fact, teams still may come knocking on his door as rosters evolve.
We're just getting to the point now when some older, big name veterans are starting to get interest. Among those who recently have signed with teams include Charles Woodson, Dwight Freeney, Max Starks and Karlos Dansby.
Urlacher should have accepted that offer from the Bears and announced that he would be playing just one more year. He could have gone out in style then, the great Bear taking one for the team in his last go-round. His farewell tour would have been something.
He wouldn't have been in 2013 what he was in 2006, when he was NFC defensive player of the year. But he would have been the leader of the Bears defense as it transitioned to a new era.
Urlacher still managed to retire as a Bear, though a little less gracefully than he could have. In this age of constant roster upheaval, there is something very noble about playing 13 years for one team, especially a team that is so bound by tradition.
And so it will be better to see Urlacher in the stands than it would have been to see him wearing a helmet with horns or some bird on it.
He always will be remembered as a Bear now. A great Bear.

In this week's installment of The Practicing Photographer, Ben Long combines two techniques that involve capturing the world in unique ways—ways that we can't see with our eyes but that photography lets us bring to life.
One technique is high dynamic range, or HDR, photography. That's the process of taking multiple shots of a scene, each with a different exposure setting, and then merging them into one photo that captures a broad range of bright and dark tones. Ben describes HDR in detail in his course Shooting and Processing High Dynamic Range Photographs (HDR).

Question of the Week: Do you support the efforts of the House Judiciary Committee to hold the Administration accountable for failing to detain and remove over 300,000 illegal and criminal immigrants?Posted by Randy | November 10, 2011
The House Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee recently issued a subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a list of 300,000 illegal and criminal immigrants the agency has declined to detain or place in removal proceedings. Judiciary Committee Chairman Smith asked for this information in August but to date, DHS has not provided the requested information. Criminal aliens are targeted with the Secure Communities program, which is intended to keep our neighborhoods safe by identifying illegal and criminal immigrants in police custody who have been arrested and fingerprinted. The Administration recently made changes to Secure Communities that could open the door to allow millions of illegal and criminal immigrants to avoid current immigration laws. Specifically, the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued two memos to agency officials on how to exercise blanket "prosecutorial discretion," such as granting deferred action, deciding whom to stop, question, arrest, or detain, and dismissing a removal proceeding. I recently had the opportunity to question Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on this flawed policy and found her answers troubling and inadequate; I support Chairman Smith's efforts to hold the Administration accountable for declining to detain and remove over 300,000 illegal and criminal immigrants.

An audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that illegal workers collected $4.2 billion in a tax credit known as the Additional Child Tax Credit, a refundable credit meant for authorized working families. The audit found that the expansion of the tax credit in stimulus legislation, among other things, to be the reason for the increased number of illegal workers collecting the money.
The inspector general's office said 2.3 million undocumented filers claimed the credit in 2010, adding up to $4.2 billion worth of refunds.
To allow illegal workers to benefit from tax credits meant for authorized U.S. workers not only contradicts federal law, but it is fundamentally unfair to those workers who have gone through the legal process to become authorized to work in the United States. Additionally, at a time when our national debt stands at over $14 trillion, we cannot afford to allow $4.2 billion to be doled out illegally.

Weigh in – do you believe illegal workers should receive U.S. tax credits meant for authorized workers?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently created a working group to conduct a file-by-file review of all active cases currently involved in illegal immigrant deportation proceedings. The purpose of this working group is to overrule, on a "case-by-case" basis, an immigration court's final order of removal and prevent the court from issuing the order. The act would essentially close the cases of illegal immigrants and allow them to stay.
The new DHS policy blatantly ignores our immigration laws. I believe the Administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them. Rather than picking and choosing which laws to enforce, Administration officials would do well to remember the oath of office they took to uphold the laws of our nation.
I want to know what you think about the new DHS policy. Weigh in below.

A recent memo written by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton and sent to all agents in charge, chief counsel, office directors and special agents, stated that ICE does not have enough resources to deal with illegal immigrants who happen to be students, and therefore, they should have less of a chance of deportation due to the criteria used when making decisions about who will be deported known as "prosecutorial discretion." This has been viewed by many in Congress, including me, as a backdoor implementation of the DREAM Act, a form of amnesty Congress rejected last year. A working group from the Homeland Security and Justice Departments met Friday to initiate a review of about 300,000 deportation cases currently before the immigration courts. Under the policy, immigration authorities will use powers of prosecutorial discretion in existing law to suspend the deportations of most immigrants who, although they have committed immigration violations, have not been convicted of crimes. In particular, officials will look to halt deportations of longtime residents with clean police records. In response, I am supporting the HALT Act (Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation Act). The bill will halt any current or planned Administrative actions that fail to enforce our nation's laws or result in the mass legalization of illegal immigrants.
Question of the Week: Do you support efforts to enforce our nation's immigration laws and halt indirect attempts at amnesty?

Two weeks ago, the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – the agency that is supposed to remove illegal and criminal immigrants – issued a memo that could potentially make millions of deportable illegal and criminal immigrants eligible for administrative amnesty. The memo was sent to the field, telling agency officials how to exercise "prosecutorial discretion" such as granting deferred action, "deciding whom to stop, question, or arrest," deciding "who to detain," and "dismissing" a removal proceeding. The ICE memo ordered agency officials to consider factors such as:
Last year, a similar draft memo written by top officials at ICE suggested that the agency take steps to legalize illegal immigrants through deferred action or parole to an unrestricted number of illegal immigrants.

At a recent Senate hearing on the DREAM Act, hundreds of illegal immigrants filled the hearing room to participate in the hearing. The DREAM Act would give permanent legal status to illegal immigrants, up to age 35, who arrived in the United States before age 16, provided they complete two years of college or serve two years in the military.
Senator Dick Durbin, the second ranking Democrat in the Senate, acknowledged illegal aliens present at the hearing and falsely stated that one day, one of the illegal aliens present could become President of the United States.
However, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution says: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Senator's Durbin's comments and the participation of illegal immigrants in the hearing have drawn sharp criticism from many individuals, and I want you to weigh in. What do you think of Senator Durbin's constitutionally false claim? Do you oppose any form of amnesty for illegal aliens, including the DREAM Act? Share your comments below.

In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled that under current law, immigrants who had been admitted to the United States and then ordered to be removed, often for criminal reasons, could not be detained in the U.S. for more than six months. Then, in 2005 in the case of Clark v. Martinez, the Supreme Court expanded its 2001 decision to apply to illegal immigrants.
Unfortunately, not every criminal immigrant who is ordered to be removed can be. Many countries are unwilling to issue travel documents necessary for these individuals to return to their countries, especially for those individuals who have committed a crime.
As a result, the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have had no choice but to release thousands of criminal immigrants into American communities. In the last two years alone, close to 10,000 immigrants with orders of removal were released because their own countries refused to take them back, including rapists, murderers and other dangerous criminals.
There is simply no reason an arbitrary six-month limit should put our communities and families at risk.
Just last week, I cosponsored the Keep Our Communities Safe Act to allow the DHS to detain dangerous criminal immigrants beyond six months. The bill would allow the detentions for criminal immigrants who are under orders of removal but cannot be deported, as long as certain conditions are met, such as if the immigrant is an aggravated felon, has committed a crime of violence, or is a threat to national security.
One of the most fundamental obligations of the federal government is to protect its citizens. There is no reason to leave uncorrected a law that forces the release of some of the most dangerous criminals in federal custody.
Read more about the Keep Our Communities Safe Act here.
I want to know what you think. Is it important that we correct a law that forces the release of criminals into American communities?

In December 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian national who was issued a visa in July 2008, attempted to blow up a plane en route to Detroit on Christmas Day. Although Abdulmutallab's father had expressed concerns of his son's radicalism, U.S. authorities failed to revoke his visa. Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, a citizen of Saudi Arabia was admitted to the United States in 2008 on a student visa. He was later charged with the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with his alleged purchase of chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device and his research of potential U.S. targets.
What do both these terrorists have in common? They used loopholes in the U.S. visa process to enter the United States legally with a shared intention of committing acts of terror against the United States. With a stricter visa system, these recent attempts of terrorism could have likely been prevented.
That is why I am cosponsoring the Secure Visas Act, which prevents terrorists from obtaining U.S. visas and allows U.S. officials to expedite the removal of terrorists who are in the United States on visas. In addition to authorizing the Secretary of Homeland Security to refuse or revoke visas when necessary for U.S. national security interests, this bill enhances visa security by mandating that the Department of Homeland Security maintain Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Visa Security Units (VSUs) at the 19 posts that currently have them, while also expanding units to the numerous posts that ICE has designated as "highest-risk" countries—including Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Morocco, Lebanon and Algeria. VSUs are essential for national security because at VSU posts, 100% of applicants receive close additional screening, compared to only 2% of applicants that receive extra screening at non-VSU posts.
Join the discussion -do you support reforming the visa process to prevent future acts of terrorism?

As of 2009, there were 10.8 million unlawful aliens in the United States according to estimates from the Department of Homeland Security. These illegal aliens cost taxpayers billions of dollars and take jobs away from hard-working Americans.
Under the President's health care law, individuals applying to receive health care subsidies are only required to provide a Social Security number, their name and date of birth. As a result, illegal aliens are given an easy opportunity to circumvent the law that denies subsidized health care to illegal aliens.
I am co-sponsoring the No Health Care Subsidies for Illegal Aliens Act. This bill would require those applying for health care subsidies to submit a sworn statement attesting to their legal status as well as provide satisfactory documentation that proves they are either a U.S. citizen or that they entered the country legally.
Weigh in with your thoughts on how we should ensure that illegal aliens do not receive health care subsidies.

The U.S. Border Patrol has operational control of less than 44 percent of the southwest border and has reached an acceptable level of security on only 32 of approximately 4,000 miles along the northern border, according to recent testimony from the Government Accountability Office.
The preamble of our Constitution states that the primary responsibility of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. The first step in achieving this goal is to effectively secure our borders by preventing unlawful entries, illicit drugs and other contraband from entering our nation.
I've recently cosponsored the Secure Border Act, which will require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a plan to gain operational control of our borders within five years. The bill requires DHS to take into account staffing requirements and infrastructure needs such as pedestrian fencing, vehicle barriers, and use of unmanned aerial vehicles, technology and sensors.

text: If the kickspace heater is on the return pipe coming off of the 3' of fin tube (in the same bathroom) - I can't see how the kickspace heater could contribute anything more than the residual heat not expressed by the fin tube which would not be considerable. A circulator on the 3/4" loop feeding these two elements might push more heat through them but only when the boiler is fired up. Jumping the circulator pump you're contemplating adding off of the primary circulator makes sense. It seems you're trying to create a second zone for this loop and the two elements on it. To do that, there may be other factors to consider and a more effective way to accomplish what you're after. That said, for all I know (I am not a pro and have never added a circulator or a pump to any heating system), what you're proposing may accomplish what you're after; to increase the heating factor in this bathroom during the "shoulder" months. I like that you used "scoop" tees. Can you tell me more about them and why you chose to use them?

Good Design, Everyday Objects: Coat Racks
2. Hang-It-All by Charles and Ray Eames: We've all seen the Hang-It-All, but there's a reason that it's a design classic. Charles Eames once asked, "Who ever said pleasure wasn't functional?" The Hang-It-All perfectly embodies the playful-meets-functional ethos that has made so many Eames pieces staples of modern design.
3. Pipework by Nick Fraser: Using standard pipework pieces and a soft, pastel palette, Nick Fraser has come up with a way to make the mundane into something lovely. I love how, from a distance, these pieces almost look like metro maps, which adds another layer of interest.
4. Driftwood hooks by Kiel Mead: Made of driftwood from the Great Lakes beaches of New York, these hooks are available in ten different colors. Each hook is between 7-12 inches, and because of the staining process that he uses, Mead estimates that he ends up touching each hook ten times, making each one a true labor of love.
5. Ivy by Michael Meredith: Made out of Y-shaped components and connectors, Ivy is a modular system that will "grow" to cover as much wall area as you desire. In the words of its creator, "Ivy is a coat rack for people who hate coat racks and wall art for people who hate coats."
6. Splash Coat Rack by BluDot: Available in bright blue or gray powder-coated finishes, the Splash Coat Rack elegantly mixes industrial and organic materials in a contemporary, minimalist design.
7. Spruce by Misewell: Misewell is a Milwaukee-based company founded by two brothers, Vincent and Paul Georgeson. All their pieces are manufactured locally with environmentally conscious materials, and their designs are marked by a clean-lined aesthetic that would fit well with a variety of decor styles.
8. Latva Coat Rack by Mikko Laakkonen for Covo of Italy: The Latva Coat Rack is based on the organic lines of Latva birch branches, and it's available in floor and wall versions in green, white, and black.
9. Hang On by Jade Barnes-Richardson for Normann Copenhagen: Hang On, a humorous play on the tangle of wire hangers that can so easily occur in a coat closet, meshes chaos with order. Hang On comes in black, white, pink, and green, a color palette that's varied enough to suit most tastes (except perhaps Joan Crawford's).
10. Symbol by Desu Design: Symbol's hooks lie flat when they aren't in use, and pull down smoothly when needed, making for an unobtrusive yet beautiful piece. It's available in either monochrome or color.
Bonus — Affordable design option:
11. Sticks Multi Hook by Umbra, $25: It's a joy to look at beautifully crafted, innovative design pieces, but sometimes great design can seem price prohibitive. Sticks is a simple and stylish option for those who want a high-end look without a high-end price.

The first one looks like a cat tree.
Ughh I really really wish the term landing strip would go away. It's already well established slang for something that I don't want to think of when I'm reading about decor (just google it).
