J. Scott Armstrong Ph.D is a marketing professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. According to his website, Armstrong's work focuses mainly on forecasting methods, strategic planning, survey research, and research methods.
Armstrong was the editor of Principles of Forecasting and the author of Long-Range Forecasting and Principles of Forecasting. He is also the co-founder of forecastingprinciples.com.
When Armstrong extended "The Climate Challenge" to Al Gore in June, 2007, he based his forecasts on "the naive (no-change) model; that is, the forecasts would be the same as the most recent year prior to the forecasts."
"We published a peer-reviewed paper showing that the forecasting procedures used by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change violated 72 of 89 relevant principles (e.g., 'provide full disclosure of methods'). The IPCC has been unable to explain why it violated such principles. In response, we developed a model that follows the principles. Because the climate is complex and poorly understood, our model predicts that global average temperatures will not change." [3]
January 27, 2012
Armstrong signed a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed titled "No Need to Panic About Global Warming." [4]
Other climate change skeptics who signed include Claude Allègre, Jan Breslow, William Happer, William Kininmonth, Richard Lindzen, James McGrath, Rodney Nichols, Burt Rutan, Harrison H. Schmitt, Nir Shaviv, Edward David, Michael Kelly, Henk Tennekes, and Antonino Zichichi.
Media transparency found that the Op-Ed had misrepresented the position of Yale economist William Nordhaus. SkepticalScience also did a comprehensive examination of the signatories and found that few of them had published anything in peer-reviewed journal on the subject of climate change. [5], [6]
May, 2010
Armstrong was a speaker at the Heartland Institute's 2010 International Conference on Climate Change. [7]
His speech was titled "Global Warming: A Scientific Forecasting Controversy
or a Political Movement?" [8]
March 30, 2009
Armstrong's signature is displayed alongside a full-page ad funded by the CATO institute that appeared in numerous newspapers including the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune in 2009.
The ad criticizes President Obama's declaration that "few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change," stating that "with all due respect Mr. President, that is not true." It goes on to claim that "there has been no net global warming for over a decade," and that the dangers of climate change are "grossly overstated." [9]
March, 2009
Armstrong presented his research paper (co-authored by fellow skeptics Willie Soon and Kesten Green) on forecasting polar bear populations at the Heartland Institute's 2009 International Conference on Climate Change.
The paper, titled "Polar Bear Population Forecasts: A Public-Policy Forecasting Audit," was published in Marketing Papers in 2008 and criticized projections of declining polar bear populations.
A rebuttal of the paper by numerous scientists was published at Interfaces. [10]
March, 2008
Armstrong was a registered speaker at the Heartland Institute's 2008 International Conference on Climate Change.
January 30, 2008
Scott Armstrong, who co-authored a paper with Kesten Green and Willie Soon on polar bears, testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works committee on the subject of climate change:
June, 2007
In June, 2007, Armstrong extended a "Global Warming Challenge" to Al Gore. Although Al Gore declined the bet, Armstrong continued to track the hypothetical outcome on his website theclimatebet.com; he maintains that average temperatures will remain constant or drop rather than rise. [11]
Armstrong continues to use theclimatebet.com as a forum to post his research.
Scott Armstrong, Willie Soon, and Kesten Green released an "unpublished working paper" arguing that the current forecast data on polar bear populations is inadequate for making a decision as to whether polar bears should be listed as a threatened species under the US Endangered Species Act.
While the polar bear paper is not published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, it has appeared on websites such as the Science and Public Policy Institute website, Spiked Online, and various blogs.
His report was critiqued by the science writers at Realclimate.org who accuse Armstrong of having read "none of the primary literature," only one chapter of the IPCC report and only "an un-peer reviewed hatchet job on the Stern Report" (a 2006 report on the economic impact of global warming completed by the British government). [12]
He also published a more recent paper: with Kesten Green in 2011 titled "Effects of the global warming alarm: A forecasting project using the structured analogies method" (PDF). Although this paper does not appear to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, Green and Armstrong do claim to "seek peer review from others, especially with evidence that would challenge our findings or conclusions."

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

DesuraOfficial group with 10,112 members, open to all members
Desura is a community driven digital distribution service for gamers, putting the best games, mods and downloadable content from developers at gamers...
QuadraTron Games is a small independent game development collective from the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Founded by Zenas Bellace, Keith Maggio, and Christian Plummer, we started off as a small group of game developers who met at the Global Game Jam back in 2011. We continued to meet regularly over weekends in a similar game jam style, the results of which were often very education and quite entertaining. We also make a point of working together at the Global Game Jam, the Philly Game Jam, and sometimes even get together remotely for events such as Ludum Dare. While we don't often meet for our own game jam weekend much these days, we all still continue to work closely with each other and bounce our ideas off each other. More recently, QuadraTron has been Zenas Bellace, who bangs out the code, and Travis Carter, who works his pixel magic. With the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, we released our first game, Monsters!, early in 2013.

A couple of weeks ago I began working on a game that I'm calling Arecibo, a fast paced puzzle game, inspired by the Arecibo Message, and based on the theme of "options" for the Philly Dev Night 12 hour game jam. The game is pretty simple, collect colored boxes for the most amount of points before the timer runs out. You can play the latest build of the game online or download the stand alone application here on IndieDB or from the Arecibo Mini Site at QuadraTron. Let me know what you think of the game. Enjoy!

Like the rest of the federal government, the intelligence community [IC] is looking for ways to save money and eyeing the cloud environment as one possible way. Unlike counterparts in other agencies, intelligence organizations are inherently secretive with essentially peerless security requirements. So how will it move to the cloud?
A successful approach will hinge on collaborative partnership, common solutions and effective policies, according to a panel of intelligence officials who spoke March 23 at an AFCEA briefing in Arlington, Va.
"The Defense Department can't succeed without the IC, and the IC depends on the department for capabilities," said Neill Tipton, director of information sharing and partner engagement in the office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Joint and Coalition Warfighter Support. "Technology is the enabler, but it's about policies that make data available to people where ever they are."
Tipton said three key factors driving the intelligence community's move to the cloud include efficiencies mandates being implemented across DOD, department-wide changes in IT like consolidation and the changing needs of current and future mission networks.
But contrary to popular belief, security may not be the biggest problem.
"What difference does the cloud make? It turns out that there are some things that are far more secure…there are a few things that are far less secure. By and large, most security issues are unchanged simply because we changed the technology. We have the same issues, by and large, that we already had," said Hank Beebe, intelligence community CIO in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. "The more interesting part is having to deal with things like certification and accreditation, achieving reciprocity [and] moving against the insider threat."
In fact, those are just a few concerns on a laundry list of challenges outlined by the panelists.
Jack Gumtow, CIO of the Office of Naval Intelligence, said scalability and access to data across DOD and the IC continues to be a problem, as does governance.
Other issues include overcoming a traditionally exclusive approach to problem-solving and the sheer volume of solutions necessary to achieve all the goals of moving to the cloud, Beebe added.
"We're not going to get [50 percent savings] with cloud. It's going to be an aggregation of lots of technologies, one of which is the cloud," Beebe said. "The good news is everyone agrees we need to solve [these] problems. DOD and the IC recognize that this needs to be worked together, not separately. I don't know there will ever be a common solution, but we need to at least be able to mediate between solutions."
Some of those solutions are already in play.
Lynn Schnurr, Army Intelligence CIO for the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2 and director of intelligence in the community information management directorate, highlighted progress in the Army's distributed common ground system (DCGS) and Land ISR Net, both intelligence networks supporting deployed soldiers that rely on cloud capabilities.
The Air Force also is making progress in its own version of DCGS, which is turning wing operations into data storage sites that can process information and distribute to the field, according to Robert Marlin, Air Force technical adviser for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities and integration.
DCGS is one example of joint DOD/IC use of cloud capabilities, and it's representative of the new approach, the panelists indicated.
"We know it's not affordable for us to continue to try to implement architectures of the past. But we all have to continue to work together to find solutions, and that's the key part. How do we get a common platform? How do we get away from the 'boxes-R-us' solutions…and to a common architecture that is more affordable and implementable?" Schnurr said.

"More of the same"
By Heresies Distressed continues much as By Schism Rent Asunder. Glacial and deliberate.
Character development and plot are consistent and make sense, but the narration move too slow for my taste. If Conquerring one safeholdian nation after another, one boot at time, is the intended modell of the series, then I will stop listening.
The change in narrator, and with it the new rythm and less consistent "character-voices" for the lead characters, were hard to get used to.
"Not one, but two stories! Not new either!"
Despite the late 2014 release date, this audibook contains two books from 1987 (Temptation) and 1993 (The Right Path).
The stories are well written and somewhat predictable .. I like that in a romance :-)
The stories differ (not better, nor worse!) in style from what Mrs Roberts has written in the last years, which makes them interesting to compare.
I preferred "Temptation" and would have loved to see a little more length in that story. "The Right Path" on the other hand seemed too long.
All in all well worth the credit I spent!
"awfull reader, story OK"
I'm listening to chapter three... and wish I was reading the book myself.
The reader is very monoton.. she has or uses very little intonation and doesn't pause. I-mean-she-reads-every-sentence-as-if-it-were-a-single-word! She's in a hurry too, so there are hardly any pauses between sentences.
The reader can't 'do' different voices either, but to me that is a minor issue!
I just wish someone had coached her, the voice is not unpleasant.
The story itself seems well crafted. But I hesitate to judge, since the reading performance biases me!
"Well crafted story"
The story's strength is dialogue and ridiculous, funny situations, not clever plot and suspense. The characters are human, well distinguishable and believable. They are not mean, saints in disguise or boring gray non-entities.
The story is "compact" in that it doesn't have complicated side plots and doesn't verbosely narrate scenes to the bitter boring end ... but sometimes it is a bit too compact and sketchy .. as though the author felt she had more to say, but the need for minimalism tied her tongue.
As in a Jane Austin romances you will know early on who the lucky couple is. Not a problem since "Getting There" is what it's about.
The reader is no Kate Reading, but she works for the story and didn't distract me anymore after a short while.
"Good story, good performance, ok production"
I liked both the author's story telling skills and the reader's performance, but there are severall places where the audio has weird and disconcerting background noises, that reminded me of a fax machine or modem connecting. So I've rated story and performance 5 stars each, but only 4 stars overall.

Waterheater ground question
hoosierdocJuly 12, 2011
Our inspector dinged us on a home sale for improper ground as wire doesn't go through hole in aluminum piece. Does it really matter since it all connects? The connection next to it has two wires and as such it uses the same approach to handle the second wire. The single ground connection wire has the insulation stripped as it goes under the ground piece then continues on to the next.
Here is a link that might be useful:

Tony - thank so very much for the black iceberg and information.
I really appreciate it.
I just love learning new things.
Proposal, nerd-style.
These icebergs have usually rolled over, exposing basal ice, or have emerged from below water level. The various coloration are caused by differences in density, air-bubble content and impurities... dark layers indicate the presence of rock materials derived from the base of the parent glacier. Occasionally, rocks may be found on the original upper surface of the iceberg. As the iceberg melts, these materials precipitate into marine or lake sediments
Nathaniel welcome to the group!

My original LED light cube got allot of reactions. Some of them where about making the LED's react to music. This did sound very interesting and I found some instructables on here.
Unfortunately I found it very hard to understand those instructables. In my opinion they weren't explained well enough and even some circuits weren't correct.
That's why I though I build one and make an instructable of it. I tried to make this instructable so easy, that everyone with or without any experience can make one!
If you make one, don't forget to share your end result photos and movies with us.
Below you'll see the end result of my Music LED Light Box.
The movie is shot with my Canon Digital Camera, in the dark. My camera can't handle the fast switching between light and dark very well. In reality the effect is even nicer then on the video.
Before people go asking who's music or what songs these are in this video, these beats are made by my brother. :)
You can visit his website www.motabeatz.com or YouTube channel for more information and songs.
Step 1: Materials & Tools
In this instructable I'll explain how I made it, a very simple way.
- 12v Adapter (a battery can be used as well)
- 3.5 jack headphone cable.
- tip31 transistor (this is the key to the whole project) - $0.50
- 5mm LED's (the color or amount is totally up to you, 1 LED per 3v. I used 12v, so 4 LEDs) - $0.28
- A4 acrylic sheet - 3mm thick (also known as 'plexiglass') - $2.00
- Fine sandpaper (I used 400) - $1.00
- Electrical Wire
If you see a price above, that means I bought it. The rest I just ripped of some old junk. The 12v Adapter was from an old wireless headphone and the 3.5 jack plug is from another old headphone.
- Jigsaw (also a Jeweler Saw can be used. But that's really hard to get straight lines)
- Glue Gun (hot glue, other glue to glue acrylic is possible)
- Drilling tool
- Solder tool (optional)
- Pen
Ones you've got this stuff you're ready to begin!
as long as it is TIP31. some had C and A but they work fine.
I'm testing my circuit on a breadboard (just like your linked video). I can't get the LED to respond to the music, it lights up as soon as I plug it into anything, music or not. It stays solid and won't respond to the audio signal. Know what I'm doing wrong?
Check your connection or repeat what you did. It happened to me. I even burned 10 LEDs.
I made it, I use 2 channels, four LEDs each Channels.
Here is the video
I am doing something similar! Filters! Look up low, band, and high pass filter designs and split the audio signal to run through each one respectively. Now you have signal for bass notes, mid ranges, and high frequencies. I have a tentative schematic as well.
I didn't design it, but yes parallel would work and you could also use a lower voltage as well
Do you know if you can use speaker outputs from a receiver instead of the headphone jack? My receiver has A and B outputs, B for extra speakers. Would it be too much power? It is a Technics SA-DX1050. That way I wouldn't have to split the audio and I don't think I can play the speakers and headphones at the same time.
Haha, it's amazing, thank you!
How do you get the cloudy look on the plexiglass? With sanding?
You can buy it already like that, or use glass frosting that you can buy at Home Depot to spray-on.
where can I purchase the small electrical wiring you are using in the instructions and the battery?
18V out of a 12V adapter?! Man that's not normal!
Thank You
Almost all headphones have other contacts etc. For example my headphones i stripped wire from have many little golden wires, then isolated 3 other ones, black, green and red (They are also gold after stripping)
So, i figured it out, that green is left headphone, red is right, black then has to be ground. Check inside of your separate headphones to see what cabeles come from / to them and You will probably know then, unless R and L are the same colors, but really You don't need to care about which channel is used.
It's quite f...d up, it actually could be less than 60 volts. It depends on the type of LED diodes. I for example i could power 1 bigger LED 3v diode, so it could be bright enought with 2 3v batteries, because with only one it was dark. Also, i powered up 5 smaller 3v LED diodes using 1 3v battery and they were very bright. I am really confused about that.
hey plz help me out. i am using 5m led flex roll with 12v adapter. plz guide me how many transmitter would i need as i am using one TIP31C but it doesn't work...
i also could only find Tip31C it seems it needs higher input to work, mabye 5 watts speaker amplifier to work properly in my case...
it's transistor not transmitter. And one tip31C is all you need. However if you're 5m LED flex roll requires more than 12V to light up then you're going to see no light. Also keep in mind that the volume on your stereo must be high enough for the transistor to read a voltage coming in.
i have a setup where i have 400leds wired in set of 4 so, 100 a group, could the tip31 switch them? or the better question would be, whats the max switching current (amps) tip31? if is more than 4-5amps than I'm fine. well i do have 3 here with me, so if it works than ill report it here.
Hey I was wondering how you were hooking up your power source. I am trying to connect about 30 LEDs for the right audio cable and 30 LEDs for the left audio cable and plugging them into a small mP3 port. I obiviously need another power source so I am trying to stay low cost and recycling an outlet plug but I don't know how to hook it up. I have made a small version of this with an LED each for the right and left audio cables hooked up to a 9V and it works fine but I don't know how to make it bigger.
look at this website . http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz . It is a LED series parallel array calculator .most leds use about 3 - 3.5v at 20ma. i like to use 12v for my power source, then just in put the amount of leds 30 for each side
when using the outlet plug, make sure it is DC and not AC. you can use a transformer to bring down the voltage to the right amount. now if you use one of the black wall transformer, on one of the wire wheres a white line going down, it is the negative. Im now one with words so if theres anything more you need ask
after doing some testing i've found that one tip31 can handle 100leds any more and the tip31 cant open well enough
i used 300 leds and its not so bright how did u did u do it
i used 34 resistors total (33) 200ohm(1/4w) and (1) 470ohm (1/2w)
this only for 100 leds not 300
for 300 leds is would be (99) 200ohm(1/4w) and (3) 470ohm (1/2w)
there is alot more that i can't say here, i do have a schematic of 400leds
but i dont know how to uplead a file here and even if i did its a program file
so you would have to download the program. the schamatic is written in LTspice and its free
let me know if you would like the file, just tell me on where would like to be posted
o= led and r = resistor the first set is top to bottom then right to left
ooor ooor ooor
ooor ooor ooor
ooor ooor ooor
o. . . o . . .or
how can we hear the music if the already plug the jack to the input sound?
use a 3.5mm audio splitter, plug the splitter into the music source, plug speakers/headphones into one side and the led cube into the other

One of my favorites, An Explanation of Ice for a Summer Insect, features another arrangement of rectangles, this time, red and green scrawled boxes overlapping outlines of rectangles painted with thin black lines. Cascades of scratched black lines pour in from the left, stopping short of a network of thickly painted brown, pink and blue lines of the right.
While immersed in a sense of formal beauty, the works have plenty of implications outside of their self-contained universe. Read metaphorically, the lines could indicate actions and conflicts in the everyday world, while the geometric forms might be emblematic of human protagonists.

The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition of Edification and Awakening by Anti-Climacus
Penguin Books Limited, 1989 - Philosophy - 179 pages
One of the most remarkable philosophical works of the nineteenth century, The Sickness Unto Death is also famed for the depth and acuity of its modern psychological insights. Writing under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, Kierkegaard explores the concept of 'despair', alerting readers to the diversity of ways in which they may be described as living in this state of bleak abandonment – including some that may seem just the opposite – and offering a much-discussed formula for the eradication of despair. With its penetrating account of the self, this late work by Kierkegaard was hugely influential upon twentieth-century philosophers including Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. The Sickness unto Death can be regarded as one of the key works of theistic existentialist thought – a brilliant and revelatory answer to one man's struggle to fill the spiritual void.

A Lifetime Chasing Fires and Disasters Leads to a Pulitzer Prize for a Furniture Salesman
Even for experienced pros, photography involves at least an element of luck; Olshwanger got a career's worth in that single frame. Published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, his snapshot won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for spot-news photography. "Who'd have ever thought I'd win a Pulitzer?" said Olshwanger. "I'd figure I have a better chance of flying to the moon." It was a heady bit of business; until the Post-Dispatch bought the picture for $200, Olshwanger's publication credits had been limited to two appearances in Firehouse Magazine. "I don't take pictures around the house because my wife tells me they don't turn out very well. They're always lopsided or fuzzy. But when I took that one, I knew it was special."
Unfortunately, the achievement was bittersweet; little Patricia Pettus died from complications of smoke inhalation in St. Louis Children's Hospital six days after the fire. "I thought, 'My God, that could be my grandchild,' " says Olshwanger. With the thousands of dollars in reprint fees that the photograph will earn him, plus his $3,000 prize money from the Pulitzer, Olshwanger is setting up a food fund at a local grocery for Patricia's impoverished mother, Mary Ann Bridgett, 22, and her other daughter, Nicole, 4, who was severely burned. (He has already established an account to help pay the family's medical bills.) "I couldn't sleep at night if I took money for that picture," says Olshwanger.
He has also offered free use of the photograph for an advertising campaign stressing the importance of home smoke detectors, which had not been installed in Patricia's home. In the end, Olshwanger says, that legacy will amount to more than the Pulitzer. "The picture should be used to save lives," says Olshwanger, "so the little girl will not have died in vain."

Former Prime Minister refuses to divulge Government's approach
MYSORE: The former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda has said that the coalition Government in the State will take a decision on reclaiming the excess land allotted for the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project without dishonouring the Supreme Court verdict in the matter.
Speaking to presspersons here on Sunday, Mr. Deve Gowda, however, refused to elaborate on the approach of the State Government. "It is left to the coalition Government to take an appropriate decision in the matter," he said.
When his attention was drawn to the caution sounded by the former Deputy Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on the Government's reported move to take over the project by bringing in legislation, Mr. Deve Gowda sarcastically remarked that Mr. Siddaramaiah was a "law graduate and he knows everything."
Mr. Deve Gowda was initially reluctant to comment on the controversial BMIC project. "I have already spoken about the issue in New Delhi. Whatever I had to say, I have already said. There is nothing more to add now. I can't go on repeating the same thing again and again," the former Prime Minister said.
He claimed that he knew the project very well as it was during his tenure as Chief Minister in 1995 that an agreement was signed.
To a question on the elections to the Council from the South Teachers' constituency, Mr. Deve Gowda said the former Deputy Director of Public Instruction P. Sharadamma, who was the JD (S) candidate in the elections, was a suitable choice in view of her vast experience in the field of education.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Deve Gowda released a book "Mannina Hanathe" as a tribute to K.B. Shivarudrappa's service to the welfare of the Vokkaliga community, at a function organised at Maharaja's College Centenary Hall.
Pontiff of Adichunchanagiri Math Balagangadharnatha Swamiji and the former MLA P.M. Chikkaboraiah were present.
Mr. Deve Gowda inaugurated the Placement Cell and Library at Vidyavardhaka Engineering College here.

Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha retires after 11 seasons, 79 INTs
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)
Less than three years after being one of the most prized free agents on the open market, Nnamdi Asomugha' NFL career is over.
Asomugha formally announced his retirement on Friday at the Oakland Raiders' headquarters, ending his 11-year career at the place he had his most success.
Asomugha made three Pro Bowls and was a two-time first-team All-Pro during his eight seasons with the Raiders when he was considered one of the league's top cover cornerbacks.
But his career quickly fizzled after signing a $60 million, five-year contract with Philadelphia in the summer of 2011. He was cut after two years with the Eagles and played just three games this season for San Francisco before being released in November.

12/2 vs 14/2 romex
I have an old house. It was built in 1952. My circuit panel has 6 circuit breakers. Two of them are connected to each other. I have a sub panel mounted outside to handle more circuits because when I put in a pool a few years ago the inspector made the electrician do than. I want to tap into a wall circuit in my bedroom and run a line outside so I will have an outside plug. It appears my breakers are 15 amp (except those going to the pool). I have some 12/2 romex. Can I use 12 ga. wire on a 15 amp circuit without any trouble?
I opened up the inside circuit this morning and found that it is not grounded. The romex on both the load and lead lines only have black and white wires. If I pigtail the ground wire from my new romex to the inside plug and run it to the box for my outside plug or to the outside GFCI plug will that do any good? That will make it really crowded in there because I have to pigtail the load lines to the outside plug.
A GFCI does not require a ground to work. If there is no ground and you put a GFCI in you need to mark it "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND". There's probably a sticker in the packaging with those words on it already.
As JReagan points out, don't forget to obtain a legitmate (wet location) outside box and in-use cover for it.
Thanx guys. I'm new to this site and haven't done much elec work except with a guy I did some Handyman work with. He taught me a few things and I watched him do some stuff as well. He's not around any longer and I want to tackle a few thing around my old house myself. I hate to think that my house isn't grounded. Maybe this circuit is grounded somewhere along the way. You have been a big help, thanx again. I'm sure I will be back.
I have an old house as well. All the neutral lines are tied together and those are grounded.
I strongly recommend you consider replacing the main power box. Unfortunately, it's not cheap, and this will likely mean a complete rewire if you have the old two wire system, or at least a few grounded circuits added. you also might want to occasionally verify tempurature the few circuit breakers in our panel when you have a high load. Some might be getting overworked. FYI, 14 guage is rated for 15 amps. and 12 gauge is rated for 20 amp circuits.
Here is a link that might be useful: NFPA 70: NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Replacing the main panel is something I have intended to do for many years. At one time, I had the resources to do it but then my wife got sick (cancer) and everything came to a stop. She's all better now and I am retired so I have to watch my expenses but it is on my to-do list.
Okay, here's another question. I've been reading that certain codes will not allow you to run romex through conduit in a wet location. I used 12/2 romex (yellow) and ran it through the grey PVC conduit. (see photo) is there a problem with that? All I did was tap into an inside plug in my bedroom and run it outside.

It'll probably be fine forever, but it IS a code violation.
"I strongly recommend you consider replacing the main power box. Unfortunately, it's not cheap, and this will likely mean a complete rewire if you have the old two wire system, or at least a few grounded circuits added."
Sorry, this is flat wrong. A panel change or service upgrade DOES NOT require or mean a "complete rewire" is needed.
This is a misconception perpetuated by lay folks who don't know proper codes and standard practices.
Also, the receptacle cover used in the picture is only approved for "supervised use" locations. Meaning, anything plugged in will not be left unattended such as holiday lighting. Otherwise, an in use (bubble) cover is required.
My house was built in 1940 and although the electrical service had been upgraded to breakers, I only had seven circuits. I had an electrician do a "heavy up" upgrade to a 200 amp service breaker box about 3 months ago, and it was relatively straightforward. The house had mostly 2 wire outlets, and the metal flexible conduit was used to ground all the metal outlet boxes together. There was also 2 newer utility outlets in the basement that used modern 12/3 and 14/3 romex. The range and dryer were gas and I had no A/C, and the kitchen did not have a dishwasher, microwave or disposal, so the initial electrical load was okay with only seven circuits.
I got prices on the heavy up that varied from $1950 to $2800, and I took the low offer because it was a very experienced electrician who was interested in part-time work. Everything was done with a permit and inspected by the city. He had no issues with connecting the old wiring to the new box since he was experienced with it, and I now have a 200 amp box with 30 breakers. Note: he also replaced the meter base as part of the upgrade, and the power company upgraded the incoming overhead line.
The old cable probably is BX, but I don't think I could tell the difference between BX and the cable they currently sell in the home stores (which is not BX?), so just consider it a generic description. Its flexible metal and has only 2 wires inside.
The main point I was making is that the heavy up did not seem to be a big problem for a qualified electrician, and he integrated the old wiring with the new box. If the OP has even older wiring, it may be a more complicated job.

The Education of John Quincy Adams
By Editorial Staff
Published April 21, 2008
America's Sixth President
This issue of The Mandate examines the importance of the family in shaping the destiny of a nation. God the Creator has given parents the great responsibility of overseeing the education and character development of their children. Christian character, which can never be adequately taught in a public school setting, is essential to sustain a free nation.
Modern Americans have ceased, for the most part, to fulfill this obligation. They have turned away from the God who made America great and have produced a generation that is lazy, incapable of shouldering responsibility, dishonest, and forever blame-shifting. Many Chinese students observe these modern Americans and the enormous prosperity they have inherited and conclude that freedom and prosperity must have very little to do with personal character.
But that is not true. We must look deeper to find the truth. The personal history of most early Americans reveals quite a distinct contrast in character to their modern counterparts. A close examination of historic accounts leads to one conclusion: America rose to greatness because of character – and she shall fall, if current trends prevail, for lack of it.
John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, is an excellent example of this character instilled in early Americans. Born in 1767, John Quincy came from a New England farm family that played a significant role in shaping the course of the United States.
While John enjoyed an above-average education, it was not greatly beyond what most colonial American children received. "Modern scholarship informs us that the literacy level of the American colonists at the time of the American Revolution (1776) was the highest ever achieved in the world."1
Most common farmers, for example, were very well read and enjoyed debating the finer points of constitutional law. "Above all, the colonists were acquainted with the Bible itself. The Bible was read and recited, early committed to memory, and constantly searched for meaning.2
Interestingly, there were practically no public schools in this period. John Quincy, like many colonial children, was educated at home primarily by his mother and under his father's oversight. Even the public schools that existed from 1700 to 1850 were in no way controlled by the state and were directly accountable to the citizens.
John Quincy's father, John Adams, was the second president of the United States, and during John Quincy's growing years spent much time abroad as the U.S. ambassador to England. With his father frequently gone, the burden of John Quincy's daily development fell on his mother, Abigail Adams. It was she who primarily instilled in John Quincy his strong Christian ideals. "So well did his mother commit the Bible to his heart that it became for him both compass and anchor in a long life of service."3
The following letter, which John Quincy wrote at age 10 to his father while he was on state business in England, gives an understanding of young John Quincy's literacy level as well as insight into his character development. It was this strong Christian character that would enable him to give so much throughout his life.
Braintree, June 2, 1777
Dear Sir,
I love to receive letters very well, much better than I love to write them. I make but a poor figure at composition; my head is much too fickle. My thoughts are running after birds' eggs, play, and trifles, till I get vexed with myself. I have but just entered the third volume of Smollett, though I had designed to have got half through it by this time. I have determined this week to be more diligent, as Mr. Thaxter will be absent at court and I cannot pursue my other studies. I have set myself a stint, and determine to read the third volume half out. If I can but keep my resolution I will write again at the end of the week, and give a better account of myself. I wish, sir, you would give me some instructions with regard to my time, and advise me how to proportion my studies and my play, in writing, and I will keep them by me and endeavor to follow them. I am, dear sir, with a present determination of growing better,
John Quincy Adams
P.S. Sir, if you will be so good as to favor me with a blank book, I will transcribe the most remarkable occurrences I meet with in my reading, which will serve to fix them upon my mind.4
Even after John Quincy left home to join his father in Europe at age 11, Abigail consistently corresponded with her son and "utilized her letters to her son to continue the education so well begun at home. Through these letters she continued to keep before his eyes the spiritual and moral demands upon his life."5
Under the tutelage of his father, John Quincy flourished and was so accomplished in skill and maturity that in 1781 at the age of 14 he was appointed by Congress as diplomatic secretary to his friend, Francis Dana, commissioner to the Court of Catherine the Great in Russia.
Fourteen months later, this mission came to an end. Rather than wait for spring, 15-year-old John Quincy traveled from St. Petersburg to Paris unaccompanied. This journey took six months and along the way he stopped in Stockholm to arrange trading matters between the U.S. and Sweden, an amazing feat for a 15-year-old boy.
In a letter from his father to the dean at Harvard Law School requesting admission for his son, the elder Adams outlined a few of his son's academic accomplishments. In Latin, the father apologized, his son's pronunciation was somewhat lacking due to never having a regular tutor and being largely self educated. But in English and French poetry, and Roman and English history, his father doubted if any student had a greater mastery of the subject.
Here are some excerpts from that letter, filled with John Quincy's astonishing accomplishments:
It is rare to find a youth possessed of so much knowledge. He has translated Virgil's Aeneid, Suetonius, the whole of Sallust, and Tacitus's Agricola, his Germany, and several books of his Annals, a great part of Horace, some of Ovid, and some of Caesar's commentaries, in writing, besides a number of Tully's orations. These he may show you; and although you will find the translations in many places inaccurate in point of style, as must be expected at his age, you will see abundant proof that it is impossible to make those translations without understanding his authors and their language very well.
In Greek his progress has not been equal; yet he has studied morsels in Aristotle's Poetics, in Plutarch' Lives, and Lucian's Dialogues, the choice of Hercules, in Xenophon, and lately he has gone through several books in Homer's Iliad.
In mathematics I hope he will pass muster. In the course of the last year, instead of playing cards like the fashionable world, I have spent my evenings with him. We went with some accuracy through the geometry in the Preceptor, the eight books of Simpson's Euclid in Latin, and compared it, problem by problem and theorem by theorem, with le père de Chales in French; we went through plane trigonometry and plain sailing, Fenning's Algebra, and the decimal fractions, arithmetical and geometrical proportions, and the conic sections in Ward's mathematics …6
John Quincy Adams enrolled at Harvard law school at age 18, graduating in 1787. He later became an American minister in various European capitals, a U.S. representative and senator, secretary of state, and president.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.
