Christopher West?: Revolutionary of Heretic?
Theology of the Body has always been a topic that has fascinated me. I have been to some discussion groups and was amazed that Pope John Paul II put his heart in soul into writing about sexuality. My own personal view is, although inspired by God, TOB is unneccesarily complex. Agree or disagree, like or dislike, the catholic church's teaching on sex is very clear and can be summed up in a few sentences. All sexual contact outside matriomony is sinful. All sexual contact in a marriage that uses birth control is sinful. The only real grey area is if certain forms of foreplay among married couples as precursor to intercourse are acceptable. I don't think much more needs to be discussed for me, but if others need more, I respect that.
Given that Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body is quite complex and doesn't exactly translate to English all that well, Christopher West came along to make it more undestandable to the average American catholic. I think that is laudable, yet, I can't help but wonder how much of his efforts are based on self promtion and making money. He has sold over 1 million copies of his books. I don't fault him for that but I can't help but be a bit skeptical. I just watched on youtube his infamous nightline interview where he lauded Hugh Hefner. I understand that Mr. West doesn't approve of Mr. Hefner sexual conquests, but it did seem like quite an odd reference. I get that Chris West is trying to make sexual expression between married couple something to feel good and proud about. That I agree with. Yet, it is almost as if Christopher West's view is that sexual contact between married couples is so vital and important that it is basically a devine act involving God in the bedroom. I think that just goes a bit far. Obviously, married couples have to be intitimate to procreate children. And yes, there is something to be said that sexual contact between married couples brings them closer together. But, it could also be said that married couples could become addicted to sex that they stop concentrating on other aspects of their marriage - similar to the way that sexuality has become so cheapened in modern culture. aka - Hugh Heffner.
I think Christopher West's efforts are noble - even if I do question how much he may be in it for fame and money. Yet, I do understand how he has opened himself up to criticism. I don't personally have a strong view one way or the other so I am interested to see what others think.

QUARTERBACK: A From start to finish, Jay Cutler did everything but win the game. He was 17-of-26 for 233 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs and a 119.6 rating. Also scrambled 4 times for 27 yards.

A From start to finish, Jay Cutler did everything but win the game. He was 17-for-26
for 233 yards, two TDs, no INTs and a 119.6 rating.
B Matt Forte (21 carries, 66 yards) and Michael Bush (seven, 39) made the most of tough sledding. Forte also caught three passes for 30 yards, including a 12-yard TD for a 14-10 lead.
A- Brandon Marshall came up big again with 10 catches for 165 yards, including a 56-yard grab late in regulation that gave the Bears a chance. Earl Bennett had a TD and a drop before leaving with a concussion.
offensive line
B+ With two new starters, the line struggled early in the run game but improved as the game went on. The same team that sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times sacked Cutler once.
defensive line
C Julius Peppers and Stephen Paea had sacks, but the Bears couldn't corral Russell Wilson, allowing him to get outside for several
key runs.
C Brian Urlacher (eight tackles) forced a fumble and Lance Briggs (five tackles) had a tackle for loss, but the Bears always seemed to be a step behind Wilson and never were able to force a negative play.
defensive backs
D We'll have to look at the film to count the missed tackles, but they were the biggest reason the Bears lost. Charles Tillman (nine tackles) did the best he could.
B The Bears allowed one yard in the return game. Zack Bowman pinned the Seahawks to their 3 late. Robbie Gould kicked a
46-yard field goal at the end of regulation.
D The Bears not only had no answer for Wilson, but they got worse as the game went on. Lovie Smith's decision to disdain a field-goal attempt was bold but backfired. It was that kind of day.

After being overweight all my life I finally decided to commit to the long journey of weight loss. When life got too monotonous with all the diet food I decided to try teas in hopes of finding new flavors. I never realized the addiction I would face and now I am in love with all things tea!
However, I am still new to the tea scene and although I have bought many David's Teas and Teavana Teas I know there is just so much out there to try and I am excited for each and every new experience. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!
Well after over a month on steepster, I have learned many new things about tea and my own personal tastes. For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu'erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well. Oh and I LOVE Red Leaf Tea's flavored matcha.
I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won't drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can't stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.
Tea Ratings (a loose guide):
1-15 – This cup is going down the drain
16-30 – I will finish the cup but I am not making another
31-50 – I don't think I like this but I will try another cup just to be sure
51-60 – I am really on the fence about this tea
61-70 – I like this enough to finish what I have but I won't be buying it again
71-80 – I like this and will buy it every now and then
81-90 – I really like this and will replace it as soon as I can
91-100 – I LOVE this and will buy more before I run out of what I have so that this is never missing from my cupboard

Kings to Present Lindbergh Award to Dr. Forrest Bird
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Feb 29, 2012
Below is an excerpt from a blog post by John and Martha King.
Forrest Bird is an avid pilot. He soloed at 14. He ferried aircraft across the North Atlantic during WWII. He flew his own Howard Ventura regularly back and forth to Europe. And when the Learjet became available, flew his own Lear to Europe regularly. Today he has many thousands of hours, a few dozen aircraft, his own airport, and an impressive aviation museum.
Dr. Bird was named a Living Legend of Aviation by the Kiddie Hawk Foundation, and Martha and I were deeply honored when he presented the same award to us this January.
Please join us during Sun 'n' Fun at the Lindbergh Foundation award ceremony as Martha and I will be able to return the honor by presenting the Lindbergh certificate and medal to the remarkable Dr. Forrest Bird.

Transportation in Newcastle
Newcastle is an ideal city for exploring on foot, with broad pedestrianised streets in the city centre making it easy and safe to get around. The waterside is also a great place to go walking – with the pedestrian only Millennium Bridge offering an easy way across the river to Gateshead.
The Tyne and Wear Metro extends throughout the region, and is a very convenient way to get around both Newcastle and Gateshead, and it also runs to the airport. It's quick and efficient, and ticket prices are low by British standards.
Buses are plentiful in and around Newcastle, linking the city with many other districts. The most useful services for the visitor are the distinctive yellow electric-powered Quaylink buses, which travel between the major transport interchanges at Haymarket, Monument, Gateshead and the Quayside.
Taxis are a popular option late at night, but be prepared to queue for some time if trying to get one on a Friday or Saturday evening. Many drivers have undertaken special training to enable them to share their expert knowledge of the area with visitors.
Rent your car
Newcastle can be reached via A1(M) motorway from London and other cross-country routes but in the city centre the Tyne Tunnel gets congested. Construction is underway on a new Tyne crossing to ease this. Parking includes nine multi-storey and over 30 off-street car parks, as well as on-street parking.
Transportation tips
A Day Rover gives unlimited travel on all Tyne and Wear transport, giving substantial savings on single fares. If planning to go further afield, a North East Explorer ticket covers the entire region. It is also possible to buy a Metro Day Saver, giving unlimited use of the Metro network.

CSS from the Ground Up
If you are frightened by the prospects of using Cascading Style Sheets, there's no need to be. Using a computer can be daunting for someone coming to it afresh but after a while, you think nothing of it. It all comes down to taking small steps to begin with and that's what I'm going to do in this series of tutorials. One step at a time!
Whether you normally use a WYSIWYG editor and stay clear of that source stuff in the background or even if you have never created a Web page at all, this tutorial will set you off in the right direction.
It assumes little or no knowledge of putting a Web page together. It really is 'from the ground up'.
What will you need?
Nothing special. If you have a Web page editor, fine. If not, you can use any text editor – NotePad on a PC or SimpleText or TextEdit on a Mac. If you are already using DreamWeaver or GoLive, we are going to be using 'source' mode.
Don't panic!
A graphics editor is not essential because I won't be worrying too much about graphics to begin with.
Oh, you will also need a browser, but that goes without saying. In fact, I'd recommend that you get a few different browsers. If you only have Explorer, you should also get Mozilla and any others from the list on the New Browsers list in this month's editorial.
If you want to upload your pages to a Web server, you will need some kind of FTP program but don't worry about that for the minute, you will doing everything here on your own computer.
Step One – A Basic Page
Before we can do anything, we need a basic Web page. Here is the most basic Web page possible.
 This is my Web page
What we have here are three sets of 'tags' – tags usually come in pairs but not always.
Encompassing the whole page is the ...
tag pair. The first one  is the 'opening tag' and the 'end tag' is the same, except that it has a forward slash character between the < and the html>.
Inside the
tag are two more tag pairs.
contains information that doesn't actually appear on your Web page, the most important probably being the page title that appears in your browser's title bar. You do this by enclosing the page title inside a title tag pair like this...
<title>My page</title>
This is my Web page content!
The ...
tag pair encloses all the content of your Web page, the text, images, Flash movies – whatever. You can type it into your text editor or into the 'source' window of a WYSIWYG editor – or you can copy and paste it from here.
This is my HTMLephant. Yes, it's corny but at least you won't forget it!
So there is a Web page that will work fine in any browser – after you have saved it. Call it 'index.html' because that's the name for the first page on any Web site. You can save the file anywhere on your computer's hard disk, but to keep things neat and tidy, create a new folder to keep your Web pages in.
The normal way to open your page in the browser is to use the 'Open' item in the browser's 'File' menu but there's a quicker way. Make a shortcut or alias of your file and put it on the desktop. From there, you can just drag and drop the file icon into your browser window and it will show up in all its glory!
Your page should look like this »
Wonderful as it is, your Web page is missing a vital ingredient – content. There is little point in having a Web page if it doesn't actually say something (other than "This is my web page content!") but I'm going to leave that up to you.
Any content must go between the ...
tag pair so that the browser will display it.
Just poured into a naked Web page like this, text has no structure or style. By structure, I mean that the words just flow left to right, top to bottom words with no particular emphasis other than the order in which they appear. It makes more sense to group those words and sentences into paragraphs, headlines, subheadings – well, you know, the basic things you were taught at school.
Browsers ignore any line breaks or paragraphs you have in your raw text. They also ignore tabs and if you have more than one space between words, the extra ones are ignored too.
Almost any passage of text benefits from having a headline, a subhead, a few separate paragraphs and maybe a 'byline' at the bottom.
In HTML, the mechanism for doing this is provided by yet more 'markup' tags.
A paragraph is created by enclosing text within
...

tag pairs. In HTML, a paragraph is simply a block of one or more sentences with an extra bit of space to separate it from the next one – like the ones you see here.
For headlines, there are six different degrees of emphasis going from the largest
...

down to the smallest
...

They look something like this...
This is a h1 heading
This is a h2 heading
This is a h3 heading
This is a h4 heading
This is a h5 heading
This is a h6 heading
As you can see, they decrease in size as the number gets bigger with h4 being approximately the same size as this 'small' body text. h5 and h6 are smaller, but bold.
There are a few other tricks that we often play with text to give emphasis to words and phrases. Rather than thinking about how they look, consider their true functions.
Bold is a heavier version of the body text and denoted with ...
however, bold is a print style term and on the Web, it is preferable to use strong ...
Although they will look similar on your screen, HTML should work on other devices too. Software that reads Web pages to people with poor vision will understand strong and add the necessary stress.
Italics are produced with, you guessed it, ...
tags. Again, with HTML, it is better not to use this visual style but to use ...
This gives the functionality of italic type regardless of the device reproducing the text.
Underlining can be done with the ...
tag pair but underlining on a Web page has a special meaning. It usually indicates a link. It is best not to use underlining as a means of emphasis as it will confuse the readers.
The one other important tag is the line break

Unlike the other tags, this one doesn't require an end tag, it wouldn't make much sense anyway, where would it go?
By using these basic markup tags, the text starts to take on some form. It becomes more like what you would produce with a word processor.
This basic page will probably look quite different in other browsers and computers. Every browser has its own default set of styles and unless you instruct the browser differently, it will use these defaults. To over-ride the default styles, we simply produce our own styles which are grouped together into a collective 'style sheet'.
Step 2 – A Style Sheet
A style sheet is a simple enough concept, it's a page of style definitions or specifications that instruct the browser how to display the various elements on a page. If you are wondering where the 'Cascading' comes-in, don't worry about it yet. I'll come back to that later when we start to apply styles to our HTML.
For simplicity, we are going to build our style sheet into our Web page. Later, you will find that you can have an 'external style sheet' in a separate file which can be called-upon by several pages and has the big advantage that you only have to make one change on this master style sheet to affect all the other pages that link to it.
The styles we are going to use are defined in the ... part of our page like this...

tags but there are a few more bits in there that need to be explained.
type="text/css" tells the browser that we are just using plain text to describe the styles, nothing fancy.
title="mystyles" is simply to identify the styles for your benefit.
media="all" is where it starts to get interesting. You can have a style sheet to describe how your page looks on a computer screen (media="screen") and another completely different one to format it for printing (media="print"). There are other media too such as 'projection', 'tv', 'braille' and 'aural'. Now you will appreciate the logic of not using 'bold' and 'italic'. For now, we'll just use 'all', which is general purpose.
The  characters are a way of hiding text on a Web page – you can only see it in the markup. This is called 'commenting' but as the styles are in the ...
section of the page, they shouldn't show up anyway.
The first thing we are going to define the style for the overall body of the page. Everything within the ...
tags will have this style, or set of styles applied to it.
The basic body style definition looks like this...
body { }
The word body followed by a pair of curly braces.
We will give the page a background colour...
Browsers default style usually give black text on a white page, but we will change that to a warm pale grey. This is how we give the body background colour a value. Note that we don't use an equals sign '=' but a colon ':'.
body { background-color: #e8eae8 }
What's all this #e8eae8 stuff?
Colours on Web pages are defined by mixing 256 shades of red, green and blue in various proportion. Humans have 10 digits on their hands, so they count in tens. Computers prefer to count in sixteens, not that they have fingers, but once you go over nine, there are no single numerals to represent 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 so we substitute letters a, b, c, d, e , f. So, in 'hexidecimal' counting, 10 is represented by 'a' and 15 by 'f'. When you go above 15, you add a second digit and '10' represents 16. Using this method, all the numbers from 0 to 255 can be represented by two numbers or letters - 255 is ff. So, #ffffff would be white and #000000 black.
Our background colour is therefore red e8(232), green ea(234), blue e8(232). The hash sign at the front denotes that were are using hexideximal and not ordinary decimal numbers.
Sometimes you will see only three characters, for example, #2a0. This is shorthand for #22aa00. When there are two characters the same in each of the three colour values, you can dispense with the second and the browser will understand what is meant.
Using only three digits, you can have 4096 different colours, with six digits there are over sixteen million.
With single digit colours, red, green and blue each have 16 steps of brightness that can be combined in many ways to produce all the others.
If you are hand-coding, using three digits colour values is simpler – and probably enough.
Anyway, let's now add a type colour to take the place of black. It was chosen with a colour picker tool in Photoshop so its a 6 digit hexidecimal number...
body { background-color: #e8eae8; color: #5d665b }
Note how the background-color and foreground (type) colour are separated by a semi-colon. Be careful not to mix up the colons and semicolons or things will go horribly wrong.
And now, so that the type doesn't run right up to the edges of our page, we can give the page a margin all round. 'margin: 50px' is added to our body style definition, again separated from the previous one by a semi-colon.
body { background-color: #e8eae8; color: #5d665b; margin: 50px }
Any type we now add to the page will be a dark grey/green on a pale grey background by default. We will see how this can be over-ridden for special cases later.
Have a look at what we've done so far »
Step 3 – Styling Text
Although we have rid our page of the stark black and white look and replaced it with a gentler feel, there's a lot more we can do. We can change the type face, the type size, the amount of space between lines and add other niceties such as paragraph indents.
The font style
We'll do the font style (typeface) first as that makes quite a dramatic difference. Unlike designing for print, Web pages can only use fonts that are installed on the reader's computer so we can't specify just any type we fancy, we have to use ones that are common to all computers – ones that come pre-installed with the system. That narrows the choice down quite considerably. You will find that you are limited to two or three serif faces, the same number of sans-serif faces and a monospaced, (typewriter) style. Instead of choosing only one font style, we specify a range in the hope that one of them will be installed on the reader's computer.
Here are some common fonts on Windows and Mac computers. You can't depend on any particular one being present so you have to provide alternatives.
Here is a typical sans-serif font family specification.
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
This is a serif font family
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
Note that when a font name has more than one word, the whole thing has to be put inside quotation marks – "Times New Roman"
Let's add the sans-serif fonts to our styles and see what happens.
Our page set in sans-serif font »
The font size
Specifying a font size is a contentious issue. In print, you can specify a font size in points and the type will always be that size. It will always take up the same amount of page space and the line breaks will be exactly as you set them.
On the Web, font sizes are not set in stone and change from one computer to another, sometimes quite dramatically. Depending on the user's screen size, operating system and browser, type can go from unreadably small to kiddie's picture book large. Luckily, users are able to set a 'comfortable' size within their browser's preferences which narrows-down the size variations a little, but they can still be quite different from what you expect.
With the rising popularity of Wi-Fi and handheld devices, the browsing conditions for your pages will change dramatically in the next few years. To keep you pages futureproof you need to think in terms of liquid page designs that adapt themselves to the screen size.
Repeat after me, "The Web is not the same as print!"
Relative font sizes
If you want the widest possible audience for your pages, it is best to specify the font size relative to the user's chosen default size. There are various ways of specifying relative font sizes. You can use percentages of the default (%), or use can use a unit called an 'em', which is the same as 100%. 1.2 em is the same as 120%. The preferred way is to use a set of pre-defined descriptions that sound like T-shirt sizes. 'Medium' is the same as 100% or 1em. 'Smaller' is a size down from that and 'Larger' a size bigger. Then there is x-small, xx-small, x-large and xx-large. The advantage of using this system over percentages or ems is that the broswers won't allow the type to become too small to read. You could, for instance, specify a type size of 0.7 em or 70% and it would look fine on your PC. For somebody using a Mac with a smaller default font size, the 70% could take the type down below the size of legibility. xx-small is smart enough to know what the minimum size of type a computer can handle.
xx-large x-large large medium small x-small xx-small
xx-small type: This type is small but not too small to render.
This type is way too small: This type is way too small
Absolute font sizes
If you have a limited audience for your site that uses basically the same kind of computer setup as you do, you can also specify font sizes in pixels. Pixels don't vary greatly in size from one desktop computer to another so the type size will be similar, if not identical. Once you move to laptops and handhelds or to very large, high resolution monitors, pixel sizes do vary from the norm and the type sizes will change accordingly.
So that you can see the differences, I have set three paragraphs of text here using three methods – percentages, T-shirt sizes and pixels. On my screen in Mozilla, they are all very similar in size but might not be on yours.
This line is set at 85% of the size of the text around it.
This line is set as x-small
This line is set at 11px absolutely
Note that you should never use 'points' to specify font sizes for the screen, only for print.
The line spacing
The amount of space between lines is about 120% of the font-size by default. Adding a little extra generally improves legibility, especially if the lines are long. I'll discuss line length later. With our current page, the line length is determined by the width of the browser window, so it might well be longer than ideal.
To change line spacing, again we can opt for relative (% or ems) or absolute (px). In this example, I've set the line height, that's the height of the character plus the extra spacing above it to 180% of the font size (small) for the whole page. As the body style definition is getting a bit long, I've split it into multiple lines, the browser doesn't care but it makes it easier for humans to read. As long as the curly brackets are there and each style definition is separated by a semi-colon, that's fine.
body { background-color: #e8eae8;
color: #5d665b;
margin: 50px;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
line-height: 180%
Now we have a page with more 'air' »
Everything we've done so far affects all the text on the page. Now we will look at how we can narrow our style down to more specific areas.
As I mentioned earlier, large blocks of text can be broken up into paragraphs to make them easier to read. There are a number of ways to visually separate paragraphs from one another. You can add some extra space or maybe indent the first line.
In creative typography, designers will sometimes use other, less common techniques such as grossly indenting by half a column width or even exdenting (the opposite of indenting). CSS can handle all these but the default paragraph separator is a 'paragraph space' which is about half of the line-height.
To make a block of text into a paragraph, simply enclose it inside a
...

tag pair. To be able to manipulate the paragraph style with CSS, we add p { }
to the style definitions in the page's head under the body styles. Inside the brackets, add text-indent: 3em

I'm trying to find the most affordable air compressor that I can use for both my vehicle and bicycle tires (both Presta or Schrader type valves). I'd like something AC powered as opposed to running off my car battery. asked Sep 09 '11 at 08:20 Gooberoo |
Harbor Freight has a lot of really cheap compressors, but their gauges aren't accurate and they bounce when filling. And most are 12v. I don't know of one that wouldn't need a 12v supply (I have several so don't usually think about it). Most "affordable" ones are for vehicles. If they are powered off AC, they usually have a fill tank and are both bigger and more expensive. You don't mention your trade-off preferences. My favorite, though schrader only is from lowes, the kobalt http://www.lowes.com/pd_292215-40883-292215_0__?storeId=10151&Ntt=292215&UserSearch=292215&productId=3079865&N=0&catalogId=10051&langId=-1 - plugs into the vehicle, but has a removable pressure gauge that can shut off the compressor when at the desired pressure and just displays the pressure as it is filling so I can just attach, press start, then watch until it hits. None of this overfilling (I also have a motorcycle and if you let even a small amount leak it will be under, and leaving it on a few seconds it will be over so it can be tedious to get the desired pressure). Some reliability problems have been reported, but Lowes has been good about exchanges, and this is the one that is actually fastest since it is once on, once off. linkanswered Sep 11 '11 at 10:15 tz1 |
I have similar requirements and settled on a 120 volt Campbell Hausfeld Model RP4000 compressor several years ago. It has an analogue gauge which seems to compare well with my separate digital gauge. I use this unit on bicycles, a lawn tractor, our cars, and a horse trailer. This is not a high-volume compressor, so car tires and the like may take a while to fill. On the flip side, some of my bicycle tires run 110 psi and it works fine on them. linkanswered Sep 11 '11 at 14:36 jimshapiro |
I go with Harbor Freight as well. I am in the aquaculture business and need to move huge amounts of air at relatively low pressure, a killer for piston air compressors. I had a vane compressor ($1200) malfunction 5 years ago and hooked up a Harbor Freight compressor "temporarily". It lasted for over two years. I replaced that with a Sears compressor that I took back after two days. My current Harbor Freight compressor, model #67847, $139 on sale, has been putting out air for over three years, keeping my fish, and me, swimmingly happy. answered Sep 12 '11 at 14:00 emailzola |
I have the Black and Decker ASI300. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ASI300&x=0&y=0 Has both power options and an automatic shut off. The tire nozzle is very tough, but has some sharp corners so be careful when putting it on in tight spaces. linkanswered Sep 13 '11 at 03:12 triple_e |
" I'd like something AC powered as opposed to running off my car battery." The 12V ones are cheaper, and can be adapted for 120V AC quite inexpensively: http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=AC+Adapter+For+Car+Charger linkanswered Sep 11 '11 at 12:34 efnord |
You might check out the Porter Cable C2002R, $95. It gets great reviews and the Factory Reconditioned models are recommended for being cheaper and indistinguishable from the regular retail version. I just lost my $55 bicycle pump to a flood and am planning on picking up one of these as a replacement. The smaller pumps seem to have issues pumping up 100-110 psi bicycle tires (in my experience). linkanswered Sep 11 '11 at 15:23 Harvey |
I have the Dewalt D55140 and use it for pumping up tires, nail guns, small sprayer. It only has a one gallon tank, but is really quiet so you don't much notice the compressor running to fill the tank. Check it out at amazon.com. linkanswered Sep 12 '11 at 12:39 |

It is likely because you have an HDMI device hooked up that the component outputs are showing an error. HBO content is HDCP protected and the way that DIRECTV chose to implement it, having an HDCP handshake on one device shuts off the analog connections.
This is absolutely not one of the options for implementing HDCP but that didn't stop DIRECTV. The two choices available (when the content is protected) are to blank the analog ports or downconvert the audio and video coming from the analog ports.
DIRECTV seems to have created their own "option" of permitting analog passing of full resolution protected content if there weren't any HDCP capable devices connected.
Thanks - that explains 90% of the issue. I'll check this out when I next get a chance - probably not before next weekend. If I pull the HDMI cable out of the Sony HDTV, presumably the picture should re-appear on the old Sony fed by the modulator/coax.
The only thing I'm still at a loss to understand is why (when the HDTV is plugged in with its HDMI cable) the old Panasonic still shows the HBO programming, while the old Sony doesn't. The HR23 -> component cables -> component/composite converter -> composite cable -> RF modulator -> coax -> splitter in the home-run chain feeds both old TV's. Surely both TV's running off the coax should show the same thing?

After three months of trying to find a place to stay in this tiny rural town, tomorrow I'm finally moving into my home for the next six months. I knew that fully furnished flats are hard to come by in the large Indian cities of Mumbai and Delhi, but until now I never gave much thought to my options in Chakradharpur.
My new flat is bare, as in no hot water, no back-up electricity supply and no A/C (not to mention furniture). When I have electricity, I'll fill up a bucket with water and heat it with a bare coil. My choices for a stove are a gas tank with a open flame (think of a larger version of a camping stove) or an induction stove that runs on electricity. Because I won't have a fridge, I'll have to go to the market every day or two to buy food.
In the U.S., we call this "living off the grid." In India, this is part of their every day life. According to the World Bank, over 400 million Indians, or about a third of the population, live with no access to electricity. In many cities and towns there are scheduled power outages, known as load-shedding, where the electricity is rotated from one part of the city to another at specific times. In Chakradharpur, there is no such schedule. In other words, I cannot plan my day around the outages. Rather, the outages might plan my day.
Because of this, I'll have to make adjustments to my daily routine. My run will now end at the local market so I can pick up the day's provisions. Some days, I might have to bathe in cold water and I'll rely on a battery-operated lamp and candles when the power goes off at night. And I don't even want to think about the lack of A/C in April, when the dry heat slowly creeps up to 100 degrees.
Without a doubt, it will be a challenge to live without the modern conveniences that until recently I never imagined I could live without. But there are good things that will come of this too. I will probably waste less food, my carbon footprint will become smaller (okay, teeny-tiny) and maybe I'll even learn to make my own cheese (but probably not). And while I'm certain I won't continue this simple lifestyle when I return to Chicago, I do think learning to live this way will ultimately prove to be empowering. After all, it's the simple things in life that give us the most pleasure.

Re: Athena
did you cut a hole in the back of your hood to pull your locks thru? i've been debating the best way to do this all summer because last year i just didn't wear a hood and i got pretty chilly.
Re: Athena
Hole in hood works OK on the warmer of hooded days, but washouts are pretty intense in big surf. The one in the pic is one of those rash guards with the hood sewn in that I wear under the suit. I highly recommend the ONeill Mutant with the fully detachable hood. I can stick dreads out at the shoulders on either side between the hood and suit; it's not constricting and I have a good seal on the head. My 5/4 is almost too hot in 48deg water on a 35deg, 2hr morning sess, I can't wait till it cools off.

FORM on Design: Drawings in Houston
Johnston Marklee have won plaudits for their houses and they have now triumphed over several larger firms for a coveted commission: the Menil Drawing Institute (MDI) in Houston. The late Dominique de Menil had refined taste and great wealth—a rare combination—and she patiently sought very best in art and architecture. The main museum, which opened in 1987, is still Renzo Piano's best—for its springy grace and luminous interiors. She established a leafy campus around that building, preserved a row of old houses to accommodate visiting artists, and created several satellite galleries, including Piano's understated shrine to Cy Twombly. For its future growth, the board commissioned a master plan from David Chipperfield, which will replace three massive apartment blocks with new housing and the MDI.

I know this is going to sound insane but i think i have a nonsexual crush on this chick! This CD is amazing. I've listened to it at least 100 times. Anyone else loving this? Which tracks are your faves??
I have a crush on her too, she's GORGEOUS and really down to Earth, the kinda girl you can take to a bbq or a bar.
My favorite tracks are Save You and Whyouwannabringmedown.
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
I LOVE all of her songs.
but on this album.
i love
my life would suck without you.
Cry ( i cried when i listen to it)
already gone
the day we fell apart
I want you.
If i cant have you.
Love her and this album. It's truly made up with so many pontentially great singles.
I basically love every song but major stand outs are: 'Don't Let Me Stop You', 'Cry', 'All I Ever Wanted' and 'Already Gone'.
Love, love, LOVE this new album! My favorite tracks are
My Life Would Suck Without You
All I Ever Wanted
Already Gone
If No One Will Listen
This album is love.
My favorite tracks are "All I Ever Wanted," "Whyyawannabringmedown," (the two Aranda tracks that she covered, coincidentally), "Don't Let Me Stop You," and "I Do Not Hook Up."
Tip of My Tongue
Love this album. But that song is my fave right now.
Love the whole album...but the 3 bonus tracks are FANTASTIC! Especially "Can We Go Back" and "Tip of My Tounge"!
Here are the bonus tracks for those of you who haven't heard them
"Can We Go Back"
"Tip Of My Tongue"
"The Day We Fell Apart"
She is an incredibly compelling person. There's a lot of sincerity and realness in her performances. Yes, she does pose for the glossy shots for the CD covers, but as a live performer, she's full of heart. I really like her.
Deluxe edition?? The hell! I had no idea there were bonus tracks to this CD. Did she collaborate with another singer on Tip of My Tounge?
no no other singer....just her
and yeah the deluxe edition I believe features Tip of My Tongue and "The Day We Fell Apart" and "Can We Go Back" was an I-Tunes Pre-order track
Can we go back was only avalible for pre-order at I-tunes.
but Tip of my tongue and the day we fell apart are on the deluxe version.
u can find it at Best Buy or Target.
lol im glad i posted this! clearly im not alone with loving kelly!
My faves on this CD are:
Save You
Don't Let Me Stop You
Cry (currently on repeat)
I Do Not Hook Up
All I Ever Wanted
READY (i have a huge soft spot for this song)
i also love the bonus tracks!
I love her new album, but I've always liked her music,
My fav songs would have to be:
I Do Not Hook Up
Already Gone
Save You (Sounds so much like One Republic on this one, did Ryan Tedder write this?)
I love the entire CD!
I just got the CD,
I'm surprised that I really liked it.
Fave Songs:
MLWSWY - First single, I think it was awesone. Nice hook, very catchy.
If I can't Have You - love dancy songs like this.
Whyyawannabringmedown - this came as surprise, this is some metallica shit right here, you go Kelly bitch! w00t!
"Cry" has now become my favorite song from her, it's amazing.
Her last album was really good and deserved more attention. I wish she would come out though, if only because her music would likely become even more interesting.
well... i've decided to give her a chance with the last record...
its OK some songs r good...
it's still very girlie girlie
The only thing with her is that she has a GREAT voice...thas bout it
(already gone is very good)
I'm so glad Emo-Kelly is gone.
We already have Evanesence, sweetie!
I like "Since U Been Gone" Kelly Clarkson. Not the "I hate everything!" Kelly Clarkson....
For all the hype surrounding this album I have to say after listening to it I found it pretty generic. Nothing really stood out to me. It's like a less interesting version of Pink's "Funhouse". It was wise for Clarkson to go running back to the radio-friendly peppy-pop that made her famous, but man, a lot of this is just fluff.
Okay Talkintotherain...
i will argue with you BUT
the reason why the album is "fluff" is because the producers wanted to be radio-friendly cuz of the last album.
yes in some songs she does sound like other artist but this is a new sound for her.
besides i think she does it better than they do.
I loved My December. That album was the shit. It was so, so real. Kinda raw for a pop star.
But yeah. This album was good, just too glossy.
And a bit too hooky, if you know what I mean.
But my favorites are
1. Save You
2. I Want You
3. Cry
4. Already Gone
5. I Do Not Hook Up
6. My Life Would Suck Without You
On a good note, Kelly's vocal work is at the top of her game on this CD. I've went back and listened to My December and she sounded good, but not great there. But that and Breakaway are my favorites from her.
I found that neither Pink's album nor Kelly's album (this one) were amazing, but good overall. And I think that the fact that Kelly only wrote six of the fourteen tracks could be the reason why it came out as so.
And the pressure to make more hits after My December, which was her least catchy album.
OMG babe, we're so in the same boat about this album..I too have listened to it ALOT. I've listened to it every single day since it came out..infact, I'm listening to it now after watching A.I...haha! My fave tracks would be...
My Life Would Suck Without You
Don't Let Me Stop You
All I Ever Wanted
If I Can't Have You
Long Shot
I Want You
If No One Will Listen
Okay so thats almost the entire album but what can I say? It's sooo good!
your right with each album that Kelly has released her voice keeps getting better and better.
I love My December, but the record company forced her to release "radio friendly songs"
the reason why her last album did "poor" ( sold 2.5 million.) was because there was no promotion for it.
I just LOVE the whole album!
My favourite songs by far are
My Life Would Suck Without You (Can't get it out of my head!)
Cry (Such a beautiful ballad)
Don't Let Me Stop You
All I Ever Wanted
Long Shot
I Want You
But basically I love all the songs
I love this album myself. My faves:
Already Gone
wooo! just saw her last night playing with Lady GaGa at the House of Blues in Boston. She was incredible! I got to meet her for a few seconds at a meet and greet too! Can't wait for the full tour...I'll be first in line for sure!
Cant wait to get this album. I love her voice and really digged My December.
i'm finally kind of over this album, but for a couple weeks it was almost all i listened to. to the point where when i finally put it on in the car i knew almost all the lyrics (i hadn't really realized this before because i always listen to it in headphones, walking).
i think i like If I Can't Have You the best.
just 'cause i'm shallow doesn't mean that i'm heartless
just 'cause i'm heartless doesn't mean that i'm mean
She's a good vocalist but I sampled her new CD the other night and all the tracks sound the same.
Her last album only sold 700,000 and this one just finally passed 500,000 after months on sale.
Yeah that plus she's so unattractive and chunky. She's the female Jack Black without the funny.She's a good vocalist but I sampled her new CD the other night and all the tracks sound the same.
Amazing what a great song!!!
That's not Kelly Clarkson?
omg were is she
Her last song also was just like Kelly Clarkson, if memory serves. Does the world need two Kelly Clarksons?
I love new music as much as the next guy - more, some might argue - but it seems KK's musical discoveries are all "the new" something. Many of us might recall his rather insistent threads and posts regarding the "new Whitney Houston". I'm not going to pretend that my favorite new artists are extremely innovative, but why can't they just sing and perform? Why must they be reincarnations of something we already have?

You are here: Home » Home Fitness Equipment » Exercise Balls »
When people talk about a pregnancy ball, or pregnancy exercise ball, they are usually talking about Swiss exercise balls, but for the benefit of this article we will refer to them as pregnancy balls.
Sitting on an pregnancy ball is excellent for reducing lower back pain thanks to the soft but firm support provided by the ball, you also slightly tilt the pelvis which especially helps reduce the build up of pressure. Plus a gentle bounce while seated will stimulate spinal fluid.
The use during pregnancy of a ball to adapt exercises to a seated position can also be very beneficial for those who wish to remain active, adding support, comfort and relieving pressure on joints, while still allowing you freedom of movement.
Did you know that getting back into exercise quickly after pregnancy may help reduce the likelihood of postnatal depression? Pregnancy balls are widely used for strengthen trunk muscles, while improving balance and posture, plus they are also great for engaging your pelvic floor muscles, as demonstrated in Gin Millers Exercise Ball DVD. So a ball could be just the thing to start you exercising as a mum.
The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women's Health have some wonderful information available including a Fit for Birth pdf and a Fit for Pregnancy pdf full of useful advice for all stages of pregnancy including post birth.

Field Report: Audemat-Aztec Goldeneagle FM/HD
In the beginning there was analog. It was easy. There were plenty of choices for monitoring, with modulation monitors and AM/FM tuners being standard fare. Then HD Radio came along and turned the way we think about signal monitoring upside down.
With HD Radio, stations at minimum need to monitor the main channel audio. In the good old days we accomplished that by connecting an HD Radio car receiver to a power supply. Done.
Not quite. Now there's multicasting, PAD and funny initials like DAAI and QI that tell volumes about the signal. The big question is how to acquire all of that data.
I've had the Goldeneagle HD (GEHD) for quite a while now — it fills my need for a monitor that not only monitors analog parameters, but many HD Radio parameters as well.
Performance at a glance |
Monitors analog and digital
Notifications via e-mail, voice interface or contact closure Displays MPS, PSD and RBDS Optional spectrum analyzer Embedded Web server and software for remote monitoring Balanced analog and digital audio outputs |
The stock model monitors analog and HD Radio FM signals in real-time. The receiver can be configured to scan from one to several preset stations, and log any number of parameters. Additionally, thresholds can be set for each parameter of each station and alarms can be sent via e-mail, SNMP traps or even phone calls. There is also an optional spectrum analyzer board that turns the GEHD into a capable spectrum analyzer for monitoring occupied bandwidth and the analog-to-digital ratio.
Down to business
Out of the box, it is obvious that this is a serious piece of hardware. It's essentially a rack-mount computer with a small touch screen on the front. Setup is straightforward; there is a picture of the backplane with a diagram to show where each cable is connected. To get started, most people will simply plug in a network cable and connect the antenna.
That's about the only real easy part to it. No slight intended, but a new user needs to understand that, like a TDR or spectrum analyzer, this is a piece of high-end test equipment that in experienced hands is a powerful tool.
There is a quick start setup guide, but I strongly suggest that a user read the entire manual before diving in. This box is very complex and does a lot of things.
Once the system is booted (it runs on Linux), the home screen is displayed. The first time the system is booted, this screen will be blank except for a menu bar at the bottom of the screen. Once configured, stations to be monitored appear as green or red buttons that show at a glance if there are any alarm conditions on any monitored station.
One operational aspect of potential confusion is the setup. Some setup can be done using the touch screen itself, while other parts are configured using the included Java application, and still more items need the Web interface. No one single interface does everything. I would like to see this changed to eliminate confusion in the setup. To the company's credit, a table is included that shows which interface does what.
There are a few ways to set up stations to monitor. The first way is to enter them one-by-one. Enter the frequency, name and which parameters to monitor. There are too many parameters to list here, but here are some highlights:
Analog parameters: analog signal level, modulation, pilot level, RBDS injection level and filtered audio level
Digital signal parameters: HD Radio signal level, quality index, PAD, and audio level on main and sub-channels
Another way to set monitored stations is to run a market scan. Press the scan button and the tuner will scan the band and log what it finds. Then click the stations that you want and add them to the monitor list.
Once a station is added to the list it is possible to set up what is monitored, the alarm threshold for each parameter, and whether or not notification should be sent on an alarm. It's important to note that alarms can be set to have a delay before alarm and an intermittent delay where an alarm will be sent if a condition crosses a threshold several times.
Beyond the market
Market monitoring is only one use for the GEHD. The second is actual transmission monitoring. Connecting an RF sample to the unit makes the GEHD a powerful piece of test equipment.
Audemat-Aztec | |
www.audemat-aztec.com firstname.lastname@example.com |
A modulation screen shows total modulation, pilot level, RBDS level, L+R, L-R, L, R and digital L and R all on one bar graph-filled screen. In addition, with the spectrum analyzer option, occupied bandwidth can be checked. At a glance, the NRSC mask can be viewed and digital and analog carriers and ratios can be verified. While this requires an RF sample to be accurate, it works as a quick confidence check when attached to an external antenna.
The unit has a built-in streaming server so a station can be monitored in real-time in analog, digital or split-mode (analog left/digital right) to check time-alignment.
A quick word about support: I had initial difficulties getting support through the Audemat-Aztec website. I would leave a message using the contact us form and never hear anything back. I finally tracked down Tony Peterle and I was assured that the company is going to take care of the problem. E-mails sent directly to Peterle were answered very quickly.
It's certainly not your father's modulation monitor.
