A few days after we got married and came to the US, I figured he might have gotten over his paneer-phoebia and made this paneer butter masala. He loved it. Apparently the brief break and (as he tells me) the great dish had brought him back. Paneer was back as an ingredient in our household. So here is the recipe of the comeback paneer dish that I now make (I always tease him by reminding him of his anti-paneer days).
Paneer butter masala probably needs no introduction. I am yet to see an Indian restaurant that does not have it on its menu. The big juicy paneer cubes in a creamy spicy gravy is an absolute delight. Me being me however, I make it with very little oil and no cream and butter at all (no butter in butter masala? funny eh!) So here goes...
Paneer ......................................... 2 cups about one inch cubes
Onion ........................................... 1 large roughly chopped
2. In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Add the cashew pieces and stir fry till light brown. Take out and drain on a paper towel. In the same oil, add asafoetida and cumin seeds and let it crackle.
Wishing a very happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indians.

In 1956, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and America was engaged in the Cold War. Schools in Atlanta were segregated and a group of 5-year-olds was beginning kindergarten at Wesley Avenue Elementary.
Debra Moore said she and her classmates, who grew up in the Edgewood community in DeKalb, were the first generation of children to benefit from the Civil Rights Movement. She said many of them were also the first members of their families to attend college.
"We believe that despite any real or imagined circumstances that beset this group of kindergarteners, for the most part, we became and lived the American dream," Moore said.
Moore, a retired DeKalb County teacher, said several members of her kindergarten class maintained close relationships with one another that began in 1956.
"After [we reflected] upon the sustained relationships, the idea for a celebration was born," Moore said.
On Dec. 20, 2011, more than 18 former students from the Wesley Avenue kindergarten class of 1956 attended a dinner and dance to celebrate their accomplishments. It was also a chance for them to reminisce on how the lessons they learned at such a young age influenced them and helped shape their lives.
Geri Thomas, now Atlanta Market President for Bank of America Georgia, said she was living in a different world when she entered Anna Rogers' class 55 years ago. She said she lived in a world where failure—regardless of social or economic background—was not an option.
"I don't know if we so much saw it as a struggle, it was our reality. The expectations were very clear. We were in a segregated school environment and there was no thought that we wouldn't be successful," Thomas said.
Thomas said most of the students went to church with each other, walked to and from school together and attended the same middle school and high school; there was a very strong sense of community.
"At the time that we came up Atlanta was, and still is, the place to be for opportunities for African Americans, so even if you went away to school you came back," Thomas said.
Moore explained that although class reunions typically serve as mile-markers highlighting the number of years since a specific education level, kindergarten is almost never included.
"Having traveled through most of the remaining elementary grades together, the social changes under way in the early 1960s also impacted the elementary years and beginning high school years," Moore said.
Throughout their lives, the students of Rogers' class experienced some of the most important moments in history: They were seventh graders when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated; they were the first group of students to enter desegregated high school as eighth graders in Atlanta; they were juniors in high school when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
"It was about all of us turning 60 but it was also about us serving as a beacon to others," Moore said.
Nelson Martin, a retired General Motors employee who worked at the plant in Doraville, told a story at the reunion about when he was asked to read something aloud to the teacher. When he was finished, she asked him if he comprehended it.
"I had to get to understanding what comprehend meant at that time, and it challenged me to continue to move forward and to take those school books home and study," Martin said.
Many students in the class, including Thomas, Moore and Frida Patillo, said community involvement played a large role in their education, something they said is lacking in the lives of children today.
"Regardless of what your parents' background was, and regardless of what people thought of you, home was very important," Patillo said. "I knew that it was not acceptable for me to fail—that was not even an issue in my house. My parents expected me to succeed therefore I expected to succeed, and I tried to pass it off to my children."
Moore said those life lessons, community involvement and great expectations were all they needed to go out into the world to be successful. The reunion gave them a chance to come together and see what each had accomplished since such a tumultuous era.
Without the foundation laid in Rogers' classroom, Moore said the students would have never been able to become successful members of society such as educators, doctors, business owners and civic leaders.
"From five years old to 55 years later, everything we wanted to know we learned in kindergarten—that was our theme for the reunion. The common thread was and remains the kindergarten," Moore said.

Maryland State Police said they are searching for the driver and vehicle that struck and killed a Baltimore County woman whose body was found along the center median of Interstate 695 early Thursday morning.
Crash investigators on Friday released a description they developed of a vehicle that may have been involved in the fatal hit-and-run crash.
Police said the victim was identified as Judith A. Hill, 62, of Halethorpe. She was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel from Baltimore County. Her body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy, police said.
Shortly after 7:30 a.m., troopers said they received a 911 call reporting a body lying against the center median on Interstate 695 in the area of Edmondson Avenue. The victim's 2007 Chevy pickup was stopped on the right shoulder, police said.
According to the victim's son, Issac Hill, his mother left her truck to take pictures of the area where she had been rear-ended on Sunday.
"I knew that she wanted to go back to the scene to take pictures of where she was hit. I didn't know she was going this morning," Issac Hill said.
Investigators believe the victim was struck shortly after she got out of her vehicle, around 5 a.m.
"The force from the crash moved her along four lanes of traffic," Maryland State Police Sgt. Marc Black said.
The vehicle that hit her failed to stop, police said.
"Whoever actually hit her, if you would turn yourself in, that would be the right thing to do and help bring closure to me and my family," Issac Hill said.

Win7 64. Is there a way to 100% FORCE desktop icons from changing position under -any- circumstances?
I keep icons in certain places for a -purpose-. I leave gaps here and there on purpose.
And for whatever reason, if I install a program, or uninstall, or send a new shortcut to the desktop, Windows has no compunction in putting the new icon where -it- wants to (and moving my arrangement around to fit.)
Also, I have 2 monitors and sometimes, after being asleep, Windows -thinks- there's only one screen and moves ALL icons over to one screen.
In short, how do I force Windows to NEVER move my icons?
And... even better... is there a way to make Windows add new icons where -I- want it to (for example, always @ the top right corner)?

A Wells Fargo location in Philadelphia. The bank said Friday that fourth quarter earnings jumped 25%. (Matt Rourke / Associated Press / December 19, 2012) |
WASHINGTON -- Ten of the nation's largest mortgage servicers have agreed to an $8.5-billion settlement with federal regulators to end a review of foreclosure abuses.
The settlement, announced Monday, involved some of the biggest names in the financial industry, including Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc..
They agreed to pay a total of $3.3 billion to more than 3.8 million borrowers whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010, according to the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Borrowers could receive as much as $125,000, depending on the type of problems with their foreclosures.
In addition, the banks agreed to provide $5.2 billion in other assistance to those borrowers, including modifications to their mortgages or having judgments against them forgiven.
The other servicers participating in the settlement are Aurora Loan Services, MetLife Bank, PNC Financial Services, Sovereign Bank, SunTrust Banks and U.S. Bancorp. Four smaller servicers whose foreclosure practices have been under review did not sign on to Monday's settlement.
Under the original plan devised by the comptroller and the Federal Reserve in April 2011, 4.4 million Americans whose homes were in foreclosure proceedings in 2009 and 2010 could request a free review. Only about half a million have done so.
Regulators decided to stop the reviews in exchange for the cash payments and assistance.
Borrowers who requested reviews would get bigger cash payments. Those that did not would get a few hundred dollars. Those who requested reviews would get bigger payments.
"When we began the Independent Foreclosure Review, the OCC pledged to fix what was broken, identify who was harmed and compensate them for that injury," said Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry.
"While today's announcement represents a significant change in direction," he continued, "it meets those original objectives by ensuring that consumers are the ones who will benefit and that they will benefit more quickly and in a more direct manner."
Curry said that although regulators have "have learned a great deal from the reviews ... it has become clear that carrying the process through to its conclusion would divert money away from the impacted homeowners" and delay compensation to the borrowers.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), criticized the decision by regulators to reach a settlement with the mortgage servicers.
"I am deeply disappointed that the OCC and the Federal Reserve finalized this settlement and effectively terminated the Independent Foreclosure Review process before providing Congress answers to serious questions about how this settlement amount was determined, who these funds will go to, and what will happen to other families who were abused by these mortgage servicing companies, but have not yet had their cases reviewed," Cummings said.
He said he didn't know "know what the rush was to make this settlement without answering these key questions" and that he had "serious concerns that this settlement may allow banks to skirt what they owe and sweep past abuses under the rug without determining the full harm borrowers have suffered."

"History, biography, and science - fantastic."
I heard about this book on a science podcast, so I expected a good science read but I was pleasantly surprised by the engaging stories. The author frames the material by entwining biography, history, and science together in a wonderfully efficient, illuminating, and entertaining way. The author has identified a historical moment during which a perfect storm of influences came together, which is what I look for in a history book.
It is not for the squeamish, but the author has a way of delighting in the details of how poisons work in the body, while remaining sympathetic to the victims. There is an enthusiasm for both biological science and history here that is delightful and rare.
The narrator gives an eccentric performance, but she grew on me and became part of the quirky charm of the book.
"So Fantastic!"
I enjoyed every minute of this book, and was sorry when it ended. It's a tale of adventure, certainly - but also a story of bad luck and worse luck; of a series of implausible chance occurrences; and of the human ability to endure. History comes alive here, in this slice of time that encompasses the height of the American whaling industry and the peculiar dynasties of Quaker Nantucket.
This story is clearly in Nathaniel Philbrick's wheelhouse, as his other books are also about the sea and early American history. Philbrick's genius lies in his ability to give rich detail and context for everything, without going too far into the weeds or losing the story. His meticulous research supports his skillful storytelling - every sailor in the boats has a tale, and they vividly come to life. I particularly appreciated Philbrick's attention to the African American sailors. The lives of these men provided scarcer primary data, I am sure, yet the author worked to fill out the details and distinguish their experiences.
The narrator, Scott Brick, is spot on as well. Highly recommended.
"Lots of atmosphere, and a Freudian mystery."
I have read a few other books by Ruth Rendell, but this is the best one so far. An expertly developed, fully dysfunctional slice of life in one apartment building, above the landlady's antique store. Widows, beautiful schemers, mentally challenged adults, upper crust gentlemen, and sketchy eastern European ladies - all present and accounted for. Oh, and a serial murderer. The characters are in turn plucky, horrifying, and bittersweet. The structure allows the reader to spend a lot of time in the murderer's mind - wonderfully unpleasant! And the title provides an ironic twist to the story.
"Now I get it."
I started this book after hearing the co-author, Daniel Coyle, interviewed on Slate magazine's sports podcast. Coyle was so understated, and seemed almost overwhelmed by the information that he learned for this, his second Lance Armstrong related book. (He likened Armstrong to Tony Soprano!) My curiosity was piqued - and I was not disappointed.
"The Secret Race" is essentially Tyler Hamilton's autobiography as a professional cyclist during the volatile late 1990's and 2000's. From the outset, the curtains are peeled back on the world of elite competitive cycling, to reveal the drama of being part of Lance Armstrong's Tour de France era, and the incredibly disturbing details of the doping techniques that are the center of the recent USADA investigation. I had many "aha" moments about how the doping works, why the athletes do it, methods used to avoid getting caught, and what can go wrong (sometimes spectacularly, tragically wrong).
The book is told through Hamilton's folksy language, but is clearly structured and researched by the impeccable Coyle. It was impossible to put down, and incredibly suspenseful, considering that the outcome is already known. Hamilton takes shape as a movingly flawed individual, who had the bad fortune to be paired up with Lance Armstrong as his ultimate "frenemy" in the workplace.
Finally, the book is so detailed, and so well referenced, that you may enjoy keeping your Youtube and Wikipedia handy, to view the races and personas in the story, as I certainly did.
"Informative, but not awesome."
I tried to enjoy this book, but I just couldn't. I am interested in history in the broad sense, China in general, and Beijing in particular, and the book does tell a creepy, detailed story of the murder of a young English woman in 1930's Beijing, among the expatriate community. However, the author so doggedly sticks to the crime in question, and repeats the facts in an almost mercilessly literal way that there is little in the manner of context, or bigger picture. I wanted to stop the author and ask, "why are you telling this story?" That perspective was missing for me.
On the plus side - the book incidentally sheds some light on the Japanese invasion of China, which prompted me to look for books on that subject.
"Surprisingly tender."
I loved Kitchen Confidential, in part because it was the story of a punk rock underdog from Manhattan, a demographic close to my heart and history. Occasionally over the years I have wondered how success and maturity have affected Bourdain, and this book answered most of my questions. Bourdain narrates, which is all important. The chapters on the dissolution of his marriage and his grappling with fame were moving, and quite sad. I found it laudable that he has the ability to admit that he's a jerk and has been wrong about a lot of things. And the section on the fish expert at Le Bernardin is just amazingly good journalism. Yes, he can be a strident, opinionated blowhard, but I think that's part of his charm. His devotion to cooking (and cooks) is infectious.
"My favorite science read this year."
I have told many people about this fabulous book, and the response is always raised eyebrows, and a surprised grimace. "Rabies? Really?!" Yes, really! (You may also have grown up hearing about "a series of painful shots in the stomach," which was my parents' way of getting me to stop adopting neighborhood squirrels.)
This is among the best of books of its genre - it takes one purported focus, and spirals out to create an interdisciplinary gem. It begins in prehistory, goes from India to Europe to the US to Bali, and synthesizes cultural, historical, and scientific information. The case histories are painstakingly researched (scouring source material to find detailed 400 year-old anecdotes of children getting bitten by various animals, for example). The effect is a kind of sub-plot into cultural views on animals, wild and tame, pets and livestock more generally, and the domesticated dog in particular.
I was intrigued by the authors' research into literature, artwork, and cultural tropes like werewolves and vampires, ancient Egyptian sculpture, and Hollywood movies. The authors do not shy away from ideas and therapies that are still unsettled (like the "Milwaukee protocol," which is induced coma treatment). Rather, they thoroughly present several perspectives, so I felt I was brought up to date but not propagandized.
So much more than a single-subject book. Very capable narrator, as well.
"One word - 'humanzee'!"
A delightful and humorous, if disturbing, exploration of genetics for the general public. I'd say it is up there with Bill Bryson's works. It is just the right level of technical for me. (By that, I mean it is technical, but with no prerequisites.) Each chapter is a separate essay, but the collection builds with some strategy towards overall impact, which I appreciated. The author adds a personal context as well, by getting his genome tested, and I enjoyed that. We have overt genetic issues in my family, and the "crap shoot" element of it is a harsh reality that I was glad to see included in this book, to personalize it.
The book is filled with information that is the best of semi-sensational science. For example, we have another creature interwoven into our every cell, that is somewhat creepy! The Y chromosome has peculiar behaviors that keep making it smaller, but it seems somehow never to disappear altogether. I find that provocative. All the other primates have 48 chromosomes, we only have 46. Hmmm. Toxoplasmosis changes behavior - I knew about that in rodents, but it is fascinating to think about how that works with humans. (And, the aforementioned attempts to create a 'humanzee,' quite disturbing.)
The narrator takes great delight in sharing these stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
The best of popular science, for me, includes this 'wow' factor. I love being reminded of how interesting our world is, and how many more mysteries there are to solve. I have no doubt it won't be for everybody - but I liked it quite a bit.
"Engaging, entertaining, and heartbreaking."
Louise Penny has written a tale with all my favorite things - fascinating historical context, complex, emotional characters, and a good story. The cloistered monastery setting is wonderfully detailed, and each monk has a clear, vivid character (even the minor ones). The twists of the story, whether humorous little details or fast-paced dramatic actions, prevented me from putting it down. The murder mystery was a wonderful tale, with an interesting resolution and a strangely hopeful twist at the end.
The parallell story, among the regular characters, will be interesting to new readers, and almost overwhelming for those of us who follow the series. I noticed in her previous book, "Bury Your Dead," that Penny has a gift for imagining the most heart-breaking thing that could happen to Inspector Gamache, and making it so - drawing it out over the course of hundreds of pages, awful yet irresistible. This book is no different. She definitely has a gift for creating characters whose emotions are so engaging, so vivid, that I am invested in their well being.
I loved this book, but I do feel like I need a support group now.
What a marvelous treasure. I have seen Pepys quoted in history books over the years, and finally decided to read the original. I couldn't be more pleased. Pepys (pronounced, delightfully, "peeps"), a noteworthy figure in English history for a variety of accomplishments, had an eye for detail that brings the era alive. The plague, the war with the Dutch, the nature of domestic and professional life, the fire of 1666 - his descriptions are riveting, and without equal as primary historical material.
The beauty of Pepys' diary is that he was writing for his own purposes, so it is utterly unedited for public consumption. He was a neurotic skirt chaser, but very compassionate towards his wife. The account of his wife and father burying the gold in the back garden is hilarious. Bravo to the narrator for bringing a vivid personality to this thoroughly enjoyable book.

"The only thing to fear is fear itself." There is nothing worse than fear to be afraid of.
1. | fear | ||
Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow my fear to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn my inner eye to see its path. And where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." (From Frank Herbert's Dune)

3. | Fear | ||
Fear - a waste of your time caused by lack of familiarity with the experience. If I'll walk up to this girl and ask her number, she will spit into my face.
4. | fear | ||
an emotion which tends to take over your mind causing negative thinking, anger, and even more fear. significant other begins acting oddly causing you to fall into a state of fear and depression.

What usually keeps us from doing really, really stupid things (like jumping into a pool of pirahnas for example).

Keep Your Video Game Stash Safe
I'll never forget watching an episode of the Big Bang Theory when Sheldon and Leonard's home is burglarized. And of course, Sheldon immediately checks his computer and then game consoles and video game titles. I can relate. Can you?
Maybe, just maybe, a wireless alarm system could have made a difference.
Just think about how much money we've invested in our Playstations, XBoxs, Nintendos, and all of the titles for each of these. And some of us, of course, are nostalgic and have consoles dating back 10, maybe even 20 years. I can still remember my Intellivision. What an awesome game! But . . . it was actually stolen when my house got broken into when I was younger. Maybe if we had a good home alarm I'd still have that baby.
You don't have to spend a fortune these days. There are do-it-yourself systems you can install. They might not protect everything quite as well as a professional system. But those are expensive and the DIY versions offer many of the same benefits at a fraction of the price.
I wound up getting one and installed cameras around my house along with window and door triggers. If anything goes off, I can immediately see what's going on at home and give the police a call to catch the bad guys.

Best DSLRs for £700
Image Quality
Studying white balance revealed that the G5's results were the least consistent, being a touch warm in some shots and cooler in others. Though the Nikon D3200's white balance performance was more consistent, we found that some images were slightly warm and fractionally overexposed when compared to the same scene shot on the other cameras. Out of the five we were most impressed by the Sony A57's white balance, as it managed to faithfully represent natural colour that was true to each scene that we photographed.
The Nikon D3200 offers impressive levels of detail but, as we discovered, sharpness levels weren't as good as we'd expected and the same could be said for the 600D's results. We found the best combination of detail and sharpness offered by Pentax's K-30. The images it produced were exceptionally clean, although you should bear in mind it has a tendency to underexpose slightly.
Moving onto ISO performance, we were careful when converting each Raw file to ensure it wasn't subjected to any automated sharpening or noise reduction. Viewing images at 100% in Adobe Bridge, we compared the results beside each other to help identify any discrepancies. Our findings showed Canon's EOS 600D to resolve excellent detail at high ISOs. The Nikon D3200 struggled to define the same amount of detail in the roof of our low-light scene and although the Panasonic's G5 results appeared slightly waxy at high ISO sensitivities, they did appear to feature fractionally more detail than that found within the Sony A57 files.
Pentax's K-30 handles noise at higher sensitivities very well and all the finer details in our test image were very well recorded. Out of the five cameras on test we were most impressed by the K-30's performance in low light. Contrast and colour wasn't quite as impressive as the 600D but we couldn't fault the detail at higher sensitivities.

IT'S PERSONAL: The Light Turns On
I am sure you've had that joyous sensation of suddenly experiencing an insight into a new way of seeing the world, solving a problem, creating a new opportunity.
Lately I've had two of them, luckily. The first was while attending the INTERSECT business start-up conference here in Omaha a few weeks back. A single comment by a gentlemen seated at the luncheon table next to me triggered just the right set of neurons and instantly I saw a new opportunity unfold for my ePEDALER spin-off. His off-handed remark about one of his customers being a cruise line, ignited a still-cascading series of insights that is reshaping my business model in a very exciting way.
The second 'light bulb' event happened just as I was climbing into bed this past week. I have just finished Bill McDonough and Michael Braungart's new book, "THE UPCYCLE - Beyond Sustainability - Designing for Abundance," which argues that the world has all we need to sustain us, we just need to use it properly, upcycle it, if you will. Then, by way of sheer serendipity, I came across an article in the Guardian, a British newspaper, about Coca Cola and growing public criticism of its role in the epidemic of obesity worldwide. Suddenly, I saw a way to bring together ePEDALER, upcycling and Coca Cola. Now I just need a way to pitch the idea of management in Atlanta. Any suggestions?

Waiting on a Friend
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009High school sucked. I was focused on all the wrong things. I needed approval and wanted to fit in. It seems like most guys had a particular group they wanted to or did fit in with. I wanted to fit in with everyone and therefore didn't fit in with anyone.
I thought I had good friends. They were good, but I didn't know what a friend really was. They ended up just being guys who wanted to get drunk together. Maybe none of us knew how to "fit in" so we escaped with the alcohol. I remember wishing I would get a phone call from anyone besides my usual cast of 16 year-old drunks to go do something. It never happened.
I had stopped going to church because that wasn't cool anymore (after middle school years of choir, bell choir, and youth groups). I dropped out of the German Club because that certainly wasn't cool. One of my sisters got the golf coach to agree to put me on the golf team, so I would be cool – but I sucked and never got to play – so that wasn't cool. I did my homework every night and that certainly wasn't cool – and people copied it from me every morning – and while that seemed cool, it wasn't.
I was lost. Every peer, commercial, TV show, song on the radio, and magazine was telling me I wasn't normal unless I was masturbating or having sex – and as much as I tried, it wasn't happening, so I assumed it was one more thing that made me worse than not cool. I pretty much made straight A's when I wanted to but school was boring. It was so boring that a friend and I would go to 7-11 before class at 7am and buy a six-pack of Mickey's Beer and slam 3 each before math class (we chose Mickey's because it supposedly got you the most drunk). It at least made math a little more fun.
I remember when The Rolling Stones released Waiting on a Friend (you can check out Pearl Jam's cover of it here on Hype Machine). I think it was my senior year. I played it over and over and over. It shocked me. It gave me a glimmer of hope that maybe someone else suffered the same thing as me.
Don't need a whore. I don't need no booze….I'm just waiting on a friend.
When college came along, I thought I had finally discovered friendship by being in a fraternity. I'm still close friends with many of them, but for the most part it was high school times ten. More and more pressure for sex, alcohol, drugs, and fitting in.
I may not have needed a "virgin priest" like Mick Jagger sang, but I needed a friend. I just didn't have a clear definition of what that meant. Mick tried to help by saying, "I need someone I can cry to, I need someone to protect", but I didn't get that either because it wasn't cool to cry, right? Plus it was all about me so why would I worry about protecting someone else?
I pretty much spent from 1979 to 2005 without a relationship with God or a local church and had no Christian mentors that I was aware of to guide me or teach me or show me their relationship with Christ. I pursued money, power, and sex like I thought I was supposed to. I used to wish I could turn the clock back and get a do-over based on what I know now. But now I realize that God has some pretty huge plans for me to help Him teach young men today what real friends are.
Some might call it being in "community". Some might call it being loved. Some might call it being part of "the church" (where everyone loves and supports each other, right?). It could be all of that. But I think it is easier than that. I think a real friend is someone I can (and should) confess my most darkest secrets to, someone I can call at 3am who will answer and not be pissed off, someone I care about enough to mean it when I ask how they are doing, someone who means it when they ask me how I'm doing, someone who will hold me accountable to do what I say I'm going to do and what I need to do, someone to call me out when I screw up, someone who trusts me, someone I trust, someone whose needs I put before mine, someone who puts my needs before theirs, and I could probably go on and on.
I think Joe Cocker may say it best in his 1969 cover of the Beatle's With a Little Help from My Friends when he sings, "I need someone to love". (you can check it out here on Hype Machine).
Wow. I bet most people don't believe you can have many true or real friends like that. They're wrong. You can. If you don't already have them, the best and fastest way to get them is to be that kind of friend to others first – while being self-less and not expecting anything in return. Put their needs before your own. Before you know it, you'll have more real friends than you ever imagined.
Funny thing is that all of that is taught all throughout the Bible. If I'd only realized that at age 16 I might have prevented a lot of the harm and heartache that I caused.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." – James 5:16
I don't think James was just making a suggestion. I believe it is truth and that the "healing" he is refering to is the kind that makes life exciting and fulfilling and filled with joy. It takes a real friend to be able to confess and pray with.
"Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them" – John 13:17
John 13 is the story about how Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. Afterwords, Jesus says, "I have set an example that you should do as I have done for you." His point is to get us to serve each other, putting others' needs before our own, and that none of us are better than another.
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, you must love one another." – John 13:34
Yep, Jesus said it straight up – a new command – not a recommendation – to love one another. That's what real friends do. But I guess by Jesus' definition the entire world is supposed to be real friends then. Wow. What would that look like? Oh yeah. Heaven. One of these days…

The "Skywalk" project could help lift 2,100 tribal members out of poverty, but a legal dispute may have killed the goose that could lay golden eggs. Worse yet, this could stifle investment across Indian Country.

The link between natural resources, institutions, and economic prosperity is nowhere more apparent than on American Indian reservations
Terry Anderson, Dominic Parker
Until American Indians living on Reservations have secure property rights and a stable rule of law, they will remain isloated on islands of poverty in a sea of prosperity.

Most believe any club chasing Franklin's signature would need to make a godfather offer somewhere between $1.6 million to $2 million a year to entice him away.

GM stops Chevy Volt production to trim inventory
General Motors will idle the Detroit-area assembly plant that builds the Chevrolet Volt for more than a month to curb rising inventories of the plug-in hybrid.
On March 1, GM told 1,300 workers at its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant in Michigan that it will shut down production for five weeks, starting the week of March 19.
GM plans to resume production on April 23, spokesman Chris Lee said.
"We need to maintain the right inventory levels and continue to meet demand," Lee said.
At the end of February, GM's Volt inventory stood at 6,300 units, enough to last 154 days at current sales rates.
Volt sales rebounded in February to 1,023 units. January's sales of 603 units marked a five-month low following a federal investigation into battery fires in the Volt.
Federal regulators closed the probe in January after determining the Volt was safe.
The plan to suspend Volt output was reported Friday by The Detroit Free Press.
Production of the redesigned Chevy Malibu is slated to start at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant later this year, once new engines become available. For now, the Volt and its sister car, the Opel Ampera, are the only vehicles assembled there.

SOURCE: New Engines for Sale
Ford 5.4 engine is now added for sale to SUV owners online at the http://www.newenginesforsale.com website. This popular V8 Triton motor is now sold to vehicle owners searching for a replacement for a Ford or Lincoln produced sport utility vehicle.
Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) February 03, 2013
The Ford Motor Company produces pickup trucks, SUVs and vans that hold one of the most popular engines built to date. The Triton base engine is a V8 standard in the lineup and this motor is now sold in new condition online. The NewEnginesforSale.com company has added this Ford 5.4 engine for direct sale to SUV owners and other vehicle owners relying on this unit. This new inventory addition is now paired with a special online-only price. Consumer information can be found online at http://www.newenginesforsale.com/ford/ford-f150-54l-engines-sale.
The 1990s were a time of transition for Ford with its engine development. The Taurus and other editions were being phased out in favor of more emphasis placed on the F150 and SUV brands. The Essex motor was used primarily in the lineup and was replaced by the newer Triton edition that provided more torque and horsepower.
The success of this series and millions of sales later is one reason why this new variant has been added for online sale. The special pricing now attached to this series is applicable to all buyers.
Aside from a preowned or rebuilt dealer, the NewEnginesforSale.com company provides new motors that are overstock, pullouts or other factory fresh units. These are now acquired from multiple sources offline to provide a variety of styles that buyers can now select when browsing online. The company toll free number is one method of contact that is available to buyers who do not plan to purchase on the Internet. This toll free contact still remains a reliable way to receive immediate answers to questions or an accurate quote for a price.
The increases in the Ford Motor Company for this year are possible due to the company website launch online. The opening of this resource on the Internet has helped to reach more buyers in different parts of the U.S. without a source for buying motors apart from a dealership. The news announcement late last year of the launched website and planned sales strategies can be read online at http://www.prweb.com/releases/new-engines-for-sale/ford-chevy-dodge-jeep-kia/prweb10195776.htm.
About New Engines for Sale
The New Engines for Sale company stocks Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, Toyota, Honda and other inventory from its single location warehouse. Buyers representing the consumer and business sides of the automotive industry purchase from this company online and offline. Discounting prices and offering generous warranty protection is one way that this company has found to connect with more buyers of new motors. The New Engines for Sale company has aligned its company with auto specialists who provide expert customer assistance for telephone and Internet based sales.

National Editor Tom Karst Scanning the Web, there is mostly just the facts reporting on the USDA's new rule on organic testing.
Here is a summary of the final rule, which is effective Jan. 1, 2013:
This final rule clarifies a provision of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and the regulations issued thereunder that requires periodic residue testing of organically produced agricultural products by accredited certifying agents. The final rule amends the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP) regulations to make clear that accredited certifying agents must conduct periodic residue testing of agricultural products that are to be sold, labeled, or represented as ``100 percent organic,'' ``organic,'' or ``made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s)).'' The final rule expands the amount of residue testing of organically produced agricultural products by clarifying that sampling and testing are required on a regular basis. The final rule requires that certifying agents, on an annual basis, sample and conduct residue testing from a minimum of five percent of the operations that they certify. This action will help further ensure the integrity of products produced and handled under the NOP regulations.
The Packer's own coverage drew a reader comment from Mischa Popoff, who has been something of a squeaky wheel about the lack of USDA testing up to this point.
Popoff, of the "Is it organic?" moniker, wrote:
In order to prevent cheating, all testing in the organic industry must occur prior to harvest. There's little point wasting time or money testing post-harvest.
The reason is that with the exception of genetically-modified organisms, almost everything else that's prohibited in organic production dissipates and eventually becomes undetectable over time. Whether it's herbicides, pesticides, hormones, improperly-composted manure, or the big-money-maker: synthetic nitrogen, only an unannounced inspection and field test will deter fraud and gross negligence. After all, Olympic athletes are tested before and during the games, not after.
As for the cost being $500 per test, I must strenuously disagree. I performed broad-spectrum field tests on organic crops when I was an active IOIA organic inspector for as little as $125. Surely a certifier recognized by the USDA to audit organic farmers and processors will be able to get as good or better a price.
On that note, instead of ADDING organic field testing to the existing system of record-keeping and record-checking - which costs upwards of $2,000 up-front per-farm - field testing should REPLACE record-keeping and record-checking, and thereby bring down the cost of organic certification.
Lastly, there is still the outstanding issue of "royalties" being collected by USDA-accredited certifiers. How can we expect companies that oversee the USDA National Organic Program to be objective if they stand to collect 1-3% of a farmer's GROSS revenue from each transaction they certify? Organic field testing must be carried out by independent inspectors, not by certifiers which have a vested interest in pushing more product to market.

Hi, My forced air gas furnace needs an upgrade. It is located in the center of the house with the gas hot water heater. I would like to relocate both to a perimeter area to leave more room for a basement remodel. Would it be OK to locate them on a perimeter wall? No,I haven't called a contractor yet. I do have one in mind, but wanted to get some opinions. I have the choice of a wall completely below ground, by the washer/dryer area across from the wall where the air conditioner is located on the outside of the house. Or put it on the same wall as the air conditioner where it could sit in the corner of on wall below ground and another partially below ground. I know the concern would be ducting and the ventillation stack. I think that over by the washer/dryer is best because it is near the sewer clean out and the outside garage wall. It would also be nearer to the existing duct work and I think the ventillation stack could easily be run up that wall to the outside. Also the gas line is running along this area to the stove upstairs and the gas dryer downstairs. However there is only one cold air return in the center of the house upstairs in the hall. The house is currently a 3 bedroom ranch style, but I would like to add a bedroom/bath dormer room in the attic eventually. Family is growing. Thoughts? and Thank you. | |||
Can't see any reason why this will not work. It's usually better to place gas-fired units closer to the exterior walls - makes for a shorter vent run. It could even save you some money if your existing units are forced-fan vent models and you replace with a non-powered vent due to a shorter vent run. You'll likely need to run some extra main supply and return ducts after moving the H/A unit as well as gas and water lines. But, if there is full access in the basement then this is a relatively minor expense. With replacing the unit for the future remodel you'll have these expenses anyway. Get your contractor in to iron out the details but no reason why it shouldn't work. Pet peeve of mine: It's a water heater. If it were a hot water heater then there would be no need for it to do anything. Jaybee | ||||
If you have a chimney near the middle of your house, then you need the furnace and water heater located close to the chimney for proper drafting of the flue gas up the chimney. If you locate these appliances in the corners of your basement, the flue gas could very well cool down so much by the time it gets to the bottom of the chimneey that it won't draft properly up the chimney. Also, if I recall correctly, the plumbing code will require the smallest BTU appliance to be connected closest to the chimney and the largest BTU appliance furthest from the chimney, but they should all be located as close as possible for the best possible drafting. Talk to any HVAC contractor or chimney cleaning contractor and they'll be familiar with the local codes in your area regarding venting of your furnace and water heater flue gas. | ||||
Since the Op is already upgrading his furnace, safe to assume that he'll be buying a new unit. At a 13 SEER minimum and probably higher, the 'chimney' is made of PVC and is designed to exit the exterior wall anywhere above ground level. New WH's work the same. Makes the exterior walls of the basement the best location for the shortest chimney run. Since it's a single level rancher, a single PVC tube that is chambered to provide intake air and exhaust can be run up the outside of the house to the roofline if needed although it can terminate anywhere above ground level. Jaybee | ||||
I was always taught one unit [heater, furnace, etc,] per flue. Anyone weight in on that... "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
While logic says to do the install so that there is no chance of 'backfeeding' from one vent into another, I see it frequently enough that combining vents must be acceptable. These are in places that have had and passed inspections. As long as the vents are sized correctly and placed so that the exhaust flow works, then it should be OK. Jaybee | ||||
