My A&S pool is filling as I type and we will have our start up meeting tomorrow or the next day. We have been told by our PB that the proper protocol is 2 full weeks of brushing the plaster and then 2 weeks of chemical balancing - totalling approx. 28 days. before we can swim in it. (Absolutely should not use heater until 28 days out too.) Basically, when I chat with all different people I hear conflicting "instructions". Some have said, you can swim immediately as soon as the pool is filled, the plaster "dust" and chemicals won't be affected. While swimming sooner sounds interesting, I would like to hear some opinions on this forum as to what protocol you have followed or if you are a Pool Professional, have instructed to your clients.
Pool Guy Scott, in case you are reading :), I know you will be visiting me soon for my pool cover measurement, I am glad to hear that you are doing ok!!!! Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Balancing, once the pump turns on, is forever. Some of rules change during the curing phase but after that, pretty much the only changes will be in quantities used. Brushing is till the dust stops, then weekly. Follow the PBs given advice for the cure. That is the most important since they have to warranty it. Pool School at Trouble Free Pools (TFP)! Don't re-invent the wheel! Go through the LINKS section on my site to get there. GW has an issue if I post the URL to them. TFP was started by people that got Pool Stored one too many times. My friends here and many others have ethics and morals but there are too many others that don't. No one will force you to buy anything but to post, you do need to register (free), and while it is owned by a private concern, there are no ads and is supported mostly by those that would see this site continue for what it contains. Pool School will show the value of a proper test kit. What PBs around here gives doesn't fly in my book. If it keeps me from having to visit for a repair just once because the chems were wrong, it's paid for itself. It's not hard and its not Jedi magic. Really! I participate on forums like this to promote water sanitation. Safe water is in every bathers interest. Sparkly clear water or smelly, green water, not a hard choice. Winterized pools are left alone for the most part. Scott |
I swam in it a few days after plaster. Nothing ill came of it. It's been about a month now and we just converted it to salt water a couple days ago. Swam in it today and I love the salt water. |
Thanks for your help Scott. We are checking out TFP. Yesterday was our first day of brushing plaster. By this afternoon, we cant even see plaster dust residual and bottom is clear while brushing. No backwashing necessary after last brushing this evening. We are brushing properly (its not rocket science) and letting water and or dust time to settle in between brushes. We are going to certainly continue this process for the instructed two weeks but we are not too sure what is going on. Could it be that it can clear up this quickly? Doesn't seem plausible. Thanks! |
Swim at will, but -- at start-up it is best to delay chlorination for as long as possible and than keep it low. Heavy use of the pool may make chlorination more important. ALso a lot depends on what type of stratup was done: accid or alkali start. My preference is in alkalic stratup. But the point is that the chemistry may not be as human friendly as you would wish. Otherwise to all inquiring minds please stay away from contracctors beleiving in NPC(National Pool Plaster) in my eductaed opinion their rules, techings and advise are not based on any science and run against the cumulative knowledge of decades of cement industry knowledge and experience. None of their "rules" stands scrutiny of peer review. They are not recognized by American National Statdards Institute. NPC is in my opinion and experience is a trade association that cares about showing contractors how to make the most profit out of the least knowhow and effort. |
That post was a train wreck. More acronyms than a pimp at a ho sho. Just sayin. Avoid the BBB as well, they only pimp the people that pay them. Pool builders in general should be watched with a guilty pretense at best, just read here, you will see LOL. start quote Otherwise to all inquiring minds please stay away from contracctors beleiving in NPC(National Pool Plaster) in my eductaed opinion their rules, techings and advise are not based on any science and run against the cumulative knowledge of decades of cement industry knowledge and experience.

1234, I don't know where you got your experience or info but that is so far off the mark, its scary. While it is true that plain plaster can be given either with very good results, higher aggregate finishes need the lower or normal pH start to ensure proper exposer. The NPC has a pool farm that tests plasters in as similar a set of physical conditions as is possible, a farm of small pools. It is at a university in California, as I recall too. No science? Bah. I never heard of the PCA. While cementatious in nature, its surface and surrounding environment, being underwater, are not areas of focus for the ACI but are for the NPC. Do not swim at will until the plaster has cured to the point where chlorine may be added and the water balance for your own safety. Person to person transmittal of bio-badies, the lack of oxidation, and the proper balancing of the pH and alk are very important, not just for the plaster, but for the chlorine that is in the water, when added. Week old, plain plaster and Diamond Brite (and similar products) is too soft. Indentations and delaminations are not unheard of. Getting the best results is what all these groups aim to accomplish. Getting it right the first time costs the least. That second time from a screw up is what costs someone. Scott |
I guess I should clarify my post above. I used the pool after it had been chlorinated. |

2009 savings on villa rentals
European villas have always offered value, especially if you're traveling with a group. Here, four companies that promise exceptional savings in 2009.
* Carolyn Grote, founder of Ville et Village, a boutique agency with some 250 properties throughout France and Italy, believes Provence offers the best bang for your buck in France, since the area has an abundance of villas. You can score the four-bedroom La Ferme, outside St.-Rémy, for $3,488 a week in July (an 8 percent discount compared with last year's rates).
* Spain-Select has a "Great Deals" section on its website for properties that typically cost no more than $130 per person per night during high season. At press time, we found Torre Blanca, a three-bedroom seaside villa on the Andalusian coast, for $1,615 per week (six-person maximum).
* California-based RentVillas has more than 1,600 properties in eight European countries, and connects you with previous renters for unbiased opinions. Among its best bets this season: the five-bedroom Villa Bodamia ($1,294 per week), in Islamlar, Turkey, with views of the Mediterranean.
* The two-year-old Dream & Charme, in Milan, rents luxury villas throughout Italy. While its "Dream" properties tend to be pricey, the "Charme" options are softer on the wallet, especially in areas such as Umbria and Puglia, which generally go for 20 to 30 percent less than their Tuscan counterparts. Case in point: the five-bedroom, five-bathroom Villa 0186, in the Umbrian countryside, which rents for $4,265 per week—or just $121 a night per bedroom.

Contents Notes | The agricultural and food infrastructure of the United States is potentially susceptible to terrorist attack using biological pathogens. In addition to the impacts of such an attack on the economy, some animal diseases could potentially be transmitted to humans. (These diseases are known as zoonotic diseases.) Scientific and medical research on plant and animal diseases may lead to the discovery and development of new diagnostics and countermeasures, reducing the risk and impact of a successful terrorist attack. To safeguard the United States against animal disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) engages in foreign animal disease research at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC). With the formation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2003, the PIADC facility was transferred from USDA to DHS, though USDA continues its research program at the facility. The DHS has identified the PIADC facility as too old and limited to continue to be the primary facility performing this research. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 9 tasks the Secretaries of Agriculture and Homeland Security to develop a plan to provide safe, secure, and state-of-the-art agriculture biocontainment laboratories for research and development of diagnostic capabilities and medical countermeasures for foreign animal and zoonotic diseases. To meet these obligations, DHS has announced plans to construct a new facility, the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). This facility would house high containment laboratories able to handle the pathogens currently under investigation at PIADC, as well as other pathogens of interest. The DHS plans to select the site in 2008 and commission the new laboratories in 2014. The final construction costs would depend on the site location and actual construction time lines, but are projected to exceed $460 million. The plans announced by DHS to establish the NBAF have raised several issues that may interest Congress. Community concerns about safety and security, previously raised about PIADC and other laboratories being built to study dangerous pathogens, may also be raised about the NBAF. Construction of the new facility may create a need to reexamine how DHS and USDA coordinate and set research priorities. By law, research on foot and mouth disease is not permitted on the U.S. mainland. This policy would need to be changed before DHS could proceed with its plans to conduct such research at NBAF if it were sited on the U.S. mainland. Two bills introduced in the 110th Congress would modify this policy (H.R. 1717 and H.R. 2419). These bills take different approaches to addressing this policy concern. Although the PIADC laboratories are currently undergoing renovation and expansion, DHS plans to decontaminate and decommission them following opening of the proposed NBAF. The fate of the PIADC laboratories following transfer of its current research activities to the proposed NBAF remains uncertain. | ||||||||||||

This is my first Camo hat of any kind, how the Red accentuates the Camo is perfect, I wear this one so much I am going to have to order another one before they run out of stock, this H. O. F. Camo is my second most worn hat after my DALE EARNHARDT #3 faded black with REALTREE Camo #3 & REALTREE bordering the brim.

Residential Program Gets Newly Diagnosed Kids Off To A Good Start
As soon as a child is diagnosed with diabetes, there are an almost overwhelming number of things that must be done:
- Set up a medical treatment program
- Modify the child's diet
- Ensure that a good support system is in place
- Seek the advice of others who have the disease
What to Do First?
Which of the above items should be done first when a child is diagnosed? Very soon, the answer to that question may be: none of the above. That's because The Barton Center for Diabetes Education in North Oxford, Massachusetts—the largest independent camping and educational program in the country—has created a comprehensive program to help newly diagnosed children with diabetes and their families manage the relentless demands of the disease.
"Learn, Laugh, Live" is a multidisciplinary program that offers medical, nutritional, physiological and emotional instruction and support to families with a child recently diagnosed with diabetes.
The staff has two core teams: a program team and a medical team.
The program team consists of Barton staff with degrees and extensive experience in nutrition, social work, drama, camp and youth development. They will lead the children's programs; most of them also have diabetes themselves.
The medical team includes pediatric endocrinologists, registered nurses, certified diabetes educators and registered dietitians.
In addition to the core staff, experts from other areas, such as exercise physiologists and researchers, will be added as needed. The programs will bring together children from across the country, introducing them to peers struggling with the same challenges and to role models who have successfully overcome the difficulties of the disease.
A Complete Weekend Diabetes Curriculum
The residential program, which will be offered several times a year over extended weekends, is the first program to provide a complete weekend curriculum on diabetes in a comfortable retreat setting, with continued support through interactive online tools for one year after the program.
While parents learn through a combination of informal lectures and interactive exercises, children engage in fun and games designed to complement the parents' curriculum through experiential learning.
While the program is intended to serve primarily children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes and their families, there is no age limit for attendees. Anyone who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes is welcome. People who have had diabetes for a longer period of time will find the program helpful as a refresher.
"This is a truly innovative program," says John Maconga, president of The Barton Center. "When a child is diagnosed with diabetes, he or she is typically introduced to the 'ins and outs' of the disease by the primary physician or nurse in a sterile clinical setting, which can be very intimidating. Even with several visits to a clinic's staff, the setting is not conducive to the sharing of personal experiences and focused learning."
A 'Soup to Nuts' Program
"Learn, Laugh, Live" takes a different approach. It is a "soup to nuts" program that incorporates every aspect of the disease and teaches how people with diabetes can better manage their lives.
The program is set in a friendly, family atmosphere where children and parents alike can find support from and make friends with others in the same situation. And thanks to the support of a lead funder for the program, financial assistance is available for families who would otherwise not be able to attend.
The Barton "Learn, Laugh, Live" program is far from the only step that a person just diagnosed with diabetes can take. But it's a big step that will give participants a significant head start in what will be a lifelong journey.
The first program is scheduled for April 8-10, 2005, and will be repeated in the fall of 2005.
The cost of the program is $100 per person with a $450 maximum per family. Financial aid is available for families with who need it.
A full range of services will be offered during the weekends at Barton's 200-acre retreat and conference center in North Oxford, including:
- Full diabetes curriculum for parents to learn the ABCs of diabetes
- Baseline measurements of critical health factors
- Fun and creative programming for children that reinforces the curriculum being taught to parents
- Individual family consultations with medical and wellness experts
- Participation in online discussion boards for post-program networking and support

(NKJV) Proverbs 2:1
Chapter 2The Value of Wisdom 1 My son, if you receive my words,And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver,And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,And find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 8 He guards the paths of justice,And preserves the way of His saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,Equity and every good path. 10 When wisdom enters your heart,And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 Discretion will preserve you;Understanding will keep you, 12 To deliver you from the way of evil,From the man who speaks perverse things, 13 From those who leave the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice in doing evil,And delight in the perversity of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked,And who are devious in their paths; 16 To deliver you from the immoral woman,From the seductress who flatters with her words, 17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,And forgets the covenant of her God. 18 For her house leads down to death,And her paths to the dead; 19 None who go to her return,Nor do they regain the paths of life— 20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,And keep to the paths of righteousness. 21 For the upright will dwell in the land,And the blameless will remain in it; 22 But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Named from the French word for lemon, "citron," citrine is a variety of quartz available in a range of golden hues from lemon, to straw, to sun yellow, to deep gold, to orange, brown and deep red. Darker colors are more highly valued, including the medium golden-orange and dark-sherry colors, sometimes called Madeira citrines after the color of the wine.
Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine, or with smoky quartz to form bicolored quartz. Citrine is generally less expensive than amethyst, and is also available in a wide range of calibrated sizes and shapes, including very large sizes. Considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November, it is also thought to be the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 13th and 17th wedding anniversaries. Citrine ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, and because of this durability, it is ideal for jewelry wear.
Almost all citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst, and generally starts life as either smoky quartz or amethyst geodes. Heat treatments first turn them clear and then give them a permanent color ranging from yellow to brownish-red. In some amethyst deposits, the amethyst has been partially or fully changed to brown citrine by natural means of heating, thereby transforming it into citrine. Natural citrine is pale yellow to orange, and occurs in much lighter hues than the heat-treated material. Citrines whose colors have been produced by artificial means tend to have much more of an orange or reddish caste than those found in nature. Since most citrine was originally amethyst that was heated to turn its color to gold, both citrine and amethyst jewelry should be kept away from prolonged exposure to strong light or heat.
Most citrine is mined in Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. Supplies are most plentiful in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, particularly from the Serra Mine. The Ira' Mine also produces large quantities of the gem. Citrine can also be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. It was thought to give calmness and mental balance to its wearer. Throughout history, people have confused citrine for topaz. Many citrines were sold as topaz and thus thought to carry the same qualities, such as knowledge and beauty. Today, citrine symbolizes truth and integrity, and is believed to promote creativity and personal clarity.
With its uniquely mystical appearance, quartz was the "rock crystal" used in ancient times to make crystal balls. It was believed to attract energy and is still considered to be spiritual today. The gemstone was once believed to be a compact form of ice. In fact, the Greeks originally named quartz "krystallos," meaning ice, but this terminology soon applied to any type of crystal.
Often identified by its six-sided prism shape, quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, found in nearly every environment throughout the globe. With a ranking of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, it is a component of almost every rock type and occurs in virtually every color imaginable. Quartz has a great amount varieties that are well-known by other names, including amethyst, citrine, ametrine, rock crystal, agate, druzy, chalcedony, tigers eye and many more. There are also several varieties that hold the name "quartz," including rose quartz, smokey quartz and rutilated quartz.
The pale pink color of quartz is known as rose quartz, the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 2nd anniversary. It is a delicate powder pink color that ranges from transparent to translucent. Transparent rose quartz is quite rare and is usually so pale that it does not show much color, except in large sizes. The translucent quality of rose quartz is much more common and is used for jewelry and carvings.
Rose quartz is probably one of the most prized stones for its mystical properties. Known as the "Heart Stone," it is believed to have incredible powers to balance emotions and open the heart. Folklore says rose quartz can comfort brokenhearted people, bringing healing and clarity to the heart and allowing the wearer to learn to trust again. The stone is also said to foster happiness and the joy of life by bringing about contentment in love and filling one with optimism, tenderness and gentleness.
In addition to helping with romantic love, rose quartz is believed to enhance all other forms of love as well, including self-love, platonic and maternal. Its loving, nurturing energy is said to take away fears, resentment and anger and replace them with feelings of higher self-esteem and confidence. This soothing stone is also thought to balance emotions and heal emotional wounds. It is said to be especially powerful in times of stress or loss, bringing peace and calm to the wearer.
Ranging in color from nearly black to smoky brown, smoky quartz is transparent and owes its warm earthen hue to exposure to natural radioactivity. Care must be taken since its rich color will fade in the sun. Spelled either "smoky" or "smokey," this variety of quartz is often incorrectly called "smoky topaz."
Smoky quartz is believed to help dissolve negative energy, release stress and relieve depression. It is said to be a mild sedative with a relaxing effect that calms, soothes and restores balance and harmony. Folklore says the gem can embrace dark areas with light and love and therefore clear and cleanse the body both physically and emotionally. Smoky quartz is thought to be a warm, friendly and down-to-earth gem.
Rutilated quartz is a type of transparent rock crystal that contains long, fine needles of rutile crystals (titanium dioxide). These highly valued inclusions form a landscape of shining gold needles in an array of patterns that is breathtakingly beautiful. These golden inclusions are also known as Venus hair, Cupid's darts and fleches d'amour ("arrows of love"). There is a less well-known variety called tourmalinated quartz that, instead of golden rutile, forms black or dark green tourmaline crystals.
Although rutilated quartz is usually cut as a cabochon, it can be a difficult stone to attain a smooth surface without pits. This is because rutile ranks a 6.0 on the Mohs Scale, while quartz ranks 7.0. The difference in hardness between the two materials, and because of the way rutile forms inside, causes problems when cutting. Each final cut piece is unique, with no two being exactly alike. Modern folklore says rutilated quartz brings forth each person's strengths, originality and ability to relate to others.

No other religion in the world is ever forced to defend itself in such a manner. Only Islam. That is because every other religion on the planet is inherently "peaceful." Islam is not.
Surely the events of recent weeks throughout
This is not new. Many Americans believe that such responses are the consequence of hatred of the West. The truth is that the current problems are merely the latest examples of fourteen hundred years of conflict that began in the 7th century.
Author and filmmaker Gregory M. Davis sums it up in two paragraphs: "The spectacular acts of Islamic terrorism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are only recent manifestations of a global war of conquest that Islam has been waging since the days of Muhammad.
"Over the course of its fourteen-hundred year history on three continents, Islam has demonstrated that it is essentially and enduringly violent. This is the simple, glaring truth that stares the world in the face today, but which few seem willing to contemplate. However difficult to accept, the fact is that we are in a global religious conflict with an adversary who intends to destroy or conquer us and who has been hard at work at both for fourteen centuries."
Whenever and wherever Islamic violence occurs, Muslim apologists come out of the woodwork to decry its savagery by stating that the Koran explicitly denounces the killing of innocent people and that all human life is valuable.
As evidence for their claim they cite Sura 5:32 of the Koran, which says, "whoever killed a human being…shall be regarded as having killed all mankind; and that whoever saved a human life shall be regarded as having saved all mankind."
Peaceful, right? Ahhh, but here's the catch. Verse 5:32 in the above form is taken out of context. Here is the full sura as written in the Koran, "That was why We laid down for the Israelites that whoever killed a human being, except as punishment for murder or other villainy in the land, shall be regarded as having killed all mankind; and that whoever saved a human life shall be regarded as having saved all mankind."
The chapter continues immediately with the following, "Our apostles brought them veritable proofs: yet many among them, even after that, did prodigious evil in the land."
"Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter…."
Islamic actions in recent days and the above quotes from the Koran bear that out.
The media continually questions how an inane video by an obscure filmmaker on YouTube could result in the overreaction and violence that has erupted in the
Beyond that, we are not dealing with a contemporary problem, but one that has been on-going for centuries and which will continue so long as Muslims cling to the basic principles that were taught by Muhammad. As
While the YouTube film is more than mere "perceived mockery," the point is that we are dealing with fourteen centuries of upheaval.
What we need to understand is that the so-called "moderate Muslims" which make up a high percentage of the Islamic faith, are not relevant to the argument any more than non-Nazi Germans were relevant to Hitler's rise to power. The minority of radical Muslims that follow Islam to the letter are in control, and it is they who are perpetuating the firestorm that confronts us.
Much has been written lately about the moderation of the Muslim Brotherhood in
What Qutb said and what he meant are entirely different as Gregory Davis explains, "Islam seeks the subjugation of the entire earth under Islamic law. When Islamic law becomes universally triumphant, peace will reign; therefore Islam is a religion of peace."
In other words, "religion of peace" is purely and simply "spin" in its most obtuse form.
This is a key factor in understanding the concept "peaceful Islam", and it is a dire warning to the West which has blindly and naively believed, especially under the leadership of Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, that negotiation with the Muslim world is possible.
Davis sums it up in one final statement. "If the West persists in the false hope of solving the problem of Muslim violence once and for all (through democracy, capitalism, multiculturalism, sensitivity, or whatever the next political vogue will be), it risks being unable to contain it, and thus may bring down upon itself otherwise unavoidable future disasters."
While that parenthetical list may desirable, and though it expresses Western morality and ideals, it does not work within the reality of Islamic radicalism and violence.
Our only hope is through strength or the Western world cannot survive against this "religion of peace."

Quarterly news update from Rolls-Royce: Second Quarter Review, 2007
Tuesday, 3 July 2007
In the second quarter of 2007, Rolls-Royce continued to demonstrate the benefits of the breadth and balance of its portfolio of power systems and services. The Group's investment in technology and capability has led to new programmes and orders being announced across all its businesses.
The global customer base increased significantly with new customers for Rolls-Royce programmes from a wide range of regions, including the Middle East, US, Europe and Asia.
Sir John Rose, Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce, said: "This has been an encouraging quarter for the Group. The Paris air show highlighted the strength of our products and service portfolio in the aerospace sector. Our investment in technology has also contributed to continuing market success in the energy and marine sectors."
The Group's marine business saw the launch of the first of the UK Royal Navy's Astute class of submarines featuring the new long-life nuclear core developed by Rolls-Royce. This core will be capable of providing power for the ship's entire service life of over 25 years without the need to refuel. Rolls-Royce also won two major offshore contracts for its UT Designs for offshore vessels, including its largest ever order for offshore vessels worth £83 million from OSM Schiffahrt, a German-Norwegian joint venture.
The breadth of the product portfolio was also evident in the energy sector: the Trent 60 won its first order in Latin America, the Bergen gas engine range achieved a record order book, and more RB211s were ordered for gas compression.
In June, Rolls-Royce announced major developments in two aerospace sectors in which the Group is already the market leader. A new engine, developed through the Rolls-Royce technology acquisition programme, was selected by Dassault Aviation to power its new super mid-size Falcon business jet. This ground-breaking selection marked the first partnership between the companies in the business jet market, in which Rolls-Royce has a 34 per cent market share.
In the military transport aircraft sector, where Rolls-Royce is also the market leader, the AE 2100D2-powered C-27J Spartan was selected as the new cargo aircraft for the US Army and Air Force. This engine is from the AE Common Core family, which powers seven different aircraft platforms, including transporters, unmanned air vehicles, regional jets, seaplanes and surveillance aircraft.
Three members of the Trent engine series featured in major announcements.
The Trent XWB, the sixth member of the series, received the largest-ever single order for Rolls-Royce. It will power 80 Airbus A350 XWB aircraft for Qatar Airways, with a TotalCare® long-term agreement, and a total value of $5.6bn at list prices.
The Trent XWB will also power 22 A350 XWB aircraft for US Airways, a new customer for the Trent, 20 A350 XWB aircraft for Kingfisher and 12 for Alafco. Singapore Airlines, which already has four members of the Trent series in service or on order, signed an agreement for 20 A350 XWB aircraft to be powered by the Trent XWB, with a 12-year TotalCare agreement.
On June 19, the Trent 1000 for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner made its maiden flight on the Rolls-Royce flying test bed in Waco, Texas. During June, the engine was selected by Avianca, the first Trent customer in Latin America, CIT and flyglobespan to power their Boeing 787s.
The Trent 700, which is being upgraded with newer Trent technology, has achieved a 94 per cent market share on the newly-launched Airbus A330 Freighter, in addition to winning orders from AirAsia X in Malaysia, Aeroflot in Russia, Aercap in the Netherlands, Avianca and CIT for new A330 passenger aircraft. The Trent 700 market share now stands at 48 per cent. Kingfisher and Etihad ordered a total of nine A340s powered by the Trent 500.
Rolls-Royce reported that the total value of business announced during the Paris air show was $15.1 billion at list prices.
Business highlights:
Civil Aerospace
- The Trent 1000, launch engine for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, is reaching the final stages of its certification programme, following its successful maiden flight. The engine has a few key tests to complete as part of the certification programme, which remains on track following successful major tests such as bird strike and fan blade containment. The company has also delivered the first ship set of flight test engines to Boeing for installation on the first 787 aircraft ahead of roll-out on July 8.
- Customers for the Trent 700-powered Airbus A330 freighter are Guggenheim Aviation Partners, which has ordered engines for six aircraft, Avion Aircraft Trading with for eight aircraft and Intrepid Aviation Group, which has ordered 17 firm freighters, with options on a further three.
- US leasing company, CIT Aerospace, has placed orders for three different variants of the Rolls-Royce Trent family, covering a total fleet of up to 23 new aircraft, including the latest two versions. The company selected the Trent 700 to power four firm and seven option Airbus A330s, the Trent 1000 for up to five Boeing 787s, and the Trent XWB for seven Airbus A350 XWBs. Total value of these orders is $860 million.
- British Airways has placed a follow-on order for Trent 800 engines to power up to eight additional Boeing 777s, an agreement worth $320 million for the installed engines. An extension to the airline's existing TotalCare long-term services agreement will cover these additional engines once they enter into service.
- The V2500, produced by International Aero Engines, in which Rolls-Royce is a senior partner, received orders from six customers for 250 engines during the period, with a value to Rolls-Royce of more than $1.1 billion.
- The UK Ministry of Defence announced that it will proceed towards the financial and contractual closure of the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) Private Finance Initiative programme with AirTanker, of which Rolls-Royce is a 20 per cent stakeholder. As well as manufacturing and supporting the Trent 700 engines for the A330s, Rolls-Royce will also be involved in the total service provision for the 27-year duration of the contract.
- The F136 engine programme for Joint Strike Fighter continued to perform on time and to budget and is making excellent progress towards its Critical Design Review in February 2008. The US House Armed Services and Senate Armed Services Committees have both approved F136 funding for next year. Significant agreements were signed at the Paris air show with Dutch industry to introduce new lightweight materials into the F136, and with the Canadian National Laboratory on a range of technologies aimed at further enhancing the engine.
- The latest variant of the RTM322 helicopter engine for the NH90 helicopter has undertaken its first flight in a series of trials that will demonstrate its capability in hot and high conditions. Oman will be the first customer to benefit from the new variant when it takes delivery of its first NH90.
- Turkey announced its selection of the T800-powered A129 helicopter for its ATAK programme. The T800 is a product of LHTEC, a 50:50 joint venture company between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell.
- Rolls-Royce UT Designs secured an £83 million order for six offshore vessels, with options for six more, and for equipment from OSM Schiffahrt. The Group also won a £50 million contract from Lewek Shipping, a subsidiary of Singapore company Ezra Holdings, to design and equip two advanced offshore ships.
- Rolls-Royce waterjets will be used on a series of ten fast catamaran ferries ordered by Venetian Marketing Services Ltd (VMSL) for a luxury ferry service between Hong Kong locations and the new Pac On terminal being built by the Macau government to serve the Cotai Strip in Macau.
- A Trent 60 dual fuel package has been ordered by Hidroelectrica La Higuerea S.A. in Chile for a new power plant to provide back-up power for a hydro-electric plant. This is the first South American order for the industrial Trent gas turbine.
- New customers in Russia, Belgium and Pakistan have helped Bergen gas engines achieve a record order book of £50 million, with the newest engine in the range, the B35:40, winning the majority of the sales, with over 30 engines on order. Many of the orders are for co-generation plants, for which Rolls-Royce is the leading provider in Europe.
- Union Gas Ltd of Ontario, Canada has ordered three RB211 gas turbine packages for use on its natural gas pipeline network. The new engines will be installed at the Dawn compressor station, alongside five existing RB211 packages.
- The civil aerospace business continued to increase its aftermarket reach. Thai Airways International has taken out a TotalCare® long-term services agreement covering the Trent 500 engines powering its fleet of ten new-generation Airbus A340s. South African Airways has extended its Trent 500 TotalCare agreement to cover all nine A340-600s. Monarch Airlines has signed a new TotalCare contract for the RB211-535 engines that power its seven Boeing 757s.
- A new operations room for two-shaft engines has opened at the Group's Dahlewitz facility near Berlin. It joins similar facilities in Derby and Bristol.
- Contracts totaling more than £100 million to support military engines were signed during the quarter. Services account for more than 50 per cent of the revenues of the Defence Aerospace business.
- Rolls-Royce Turbomeca (RRTM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a repair co-operation Agreement with Air Depot Kjeller (Norway) and Patria (Finland) for the future support of the RTM322 which powers the NH90 and EH101 helicopters in the Nordic region.
Operations and technology
- New research capabilities were launched at two British universities - a University Technology Centre (UTC) in Composites at the University of Bristol, and a specialist electrical testing facility within an existing UTC at the University of Manchester.
- The new UTC at Bristol forms part of the University's Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science (ACCIS) and is the 28th UTC Rolls-Royce has established worldwide. It will act as a focus for composites research activity, in close collaboration with other academic bodies that have expertise in this area, including Imperial College (London), Oxford, Nottingham and Ulster, and the Rolls-Royce UTC in Dresden, Germany.
- In Manchester, a £1million experimental test facility will assist in the development of high-technology electrical systems for aircraft, ships and energy generation. It will complement the work of a UTC established in 2004 to develop the design of electrical systems for air, sea and land vehicles operating in 'extreme environments' such as those experienced by planes at altitudes of 60,000ft and by ships submerged in freezing waters.

Sue- thats what I was asking. Someone can post a tube or picture and then we can see what kind of ideas we can all come up with using it. I didn't mean you had to join that other forum to do it there. Sorry if thats what you thought I meant. Judy |
Sounds good Judy, I'm glad thats what you meant, I'm afraid my plate is quite full now with groups. Carol |

That sounds like fun to me ........ might be more fun with our small group. Anyway - I might be late joining in on the fun - soon packing up to go home to Canada and will be off the computer for two weeks before I get home. Another reason that I REALLY NEED a laptop! LOL. Elaine |
I belong to a group and one of their challanges is that they post a picture and you use different plug-ins usually limited to three or so, then everyone post the picture and tells what filters and how they did it. I finally got to use some of the filters that I either downloaded for one tut or ones I bought. It was interesting to see what everyone came up with. So I really like your idea of doing something like that here. Carol |

Operation BBQ Relief Aids Hurricane Sandy Victims
October 31, 2012
It never ceases to amaze me how kind and generous the barbecue and grilling community can be when others are in need. A perfect example of this is Operation BBQ Relief, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation created to lend support to the town of Joplin, Missouri following the destruction caused by the 2nd deadliest tornado in US history. I caught up with one of the organization's co-founder, Stan Hays, as he and the team prepares to provide much needed relief to the victimsof Hurricane Sandy (PLEASE VISIT THEIR SITE HERE TO VOLUNTEER OR TO DONATE TO THE RELIEF EFFORT).
Let's start with the basics, Stan. Tell us a little about Operation BBQ Relief and how it came to be.
Operation BBQ Relief is a not-for-profit corporation (501c3 status pending) founded in May 2011 in response to a need for relief efforts in tornado-stricken Joplin, Missouri. In the wake of massive destruction, competition barbecue teams from eight states answered the call to help feed displaced families and police, fire, National Guard and emergency personnel. The group was able to serve over 120,000 barbecue meals in less than two weeks. As a result of efforts in Joplin, Operation BBQ Relief was born. The Joplin operation will be used as a model for future disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, floods and other tornadoes. We are ready to respond to natural disaster emergencies across the United States.
What inspired you to create this program?
Because of the success of the operation in Joplin, and because we came away with life-changing experiences while serving the victims and first responders, we decided the same model could be replicated on a national level whenever natural disasters strike in the United States. We were all so moved by our experience in Joplin that we wanted to help others in their times of need, so Operation BBQ Relief, Inc. became a reality. We have, in fact, replicated it once on a smaller scale – after the Susquehanna River flooded due to the effects of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. OBR once again rose to the occasion and fed over 5,000 meals in three days in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Our efforts there were led by Jim Knepper of Harrisburg. Jim came to Joplin to help and saw firsthand how OBR operated.
Who are the founders and some of the sponsors?
Founders: Jeff Stith (Big Creek BBQ), Stan Hays (County Line Smokers) and Will Cleaver (Sticks n Chicks BBQ). Although we don't have permanent sponsors, we do have companies who are committing to help us with donations when possible. Some of those include Sam's Club, OK Foods and Western Wood.
What has been the reaction of the people you have fed? Are there any stories that stand out in your memory?
For the first responders and emergency personnel, when they came to our location, it was almost like the weight of the world came off their shoulders. We were located about six blocks north of the path of destruction and for these people, coming to have a meal at our site was a return to some degree of normalcy in a time of unbelievable destruction, even if only for a half hour. For the victims we fed, it was that and more. Many arrived at our location looking completely shell-shocked. Often, we were providing the only hot meal these people had eaten in days. Some had lost everything. Some didn't talk much at all, so you didn't really know their stories, though the look of appreciation on their faces for something as simple as a meal was something none of us will forget. As part of their healing process (according to a local doctor), a few Joplin residents, including some who had lost everything, came out and actually helped us serve barbecue. Some of these people have developed great friendships with our volunteers and the OBR organization.
How many people have you fed and in how many locations? How many pounds of BBQ do you think you've gone through?
We fed 120,000 meals in eleven days according to our calculations. During lunch and dinner, we fed people not only at our cook location but also in five or six shelters including the Humane Society (over 100 people working around the clock to help with rescued pets to patch up injuries and locate owners) and the triage makeshift hospital St. John's Medical Center had set up (their hospital took a direct hit from the monster tornado). Additionally, the Salvation Army was picking up between 3,000 and 4,000 meals per day from us to deliver themselves. Finally, we had several groups of volunteers load up food and water in their vehicles and drive out into the lesser-damaged areas to deliver it to citizens right in their homes. In many cases, these folks could not leave their house because they had no vehicles remaining. And even if they did, they did not dare leave for fear of losing more possessions to looters. In adding up the meat donations from Sam's Club and OK Foods, we have determined that we went through close to 60,000 pounds of barbecue meat.
What does it take to coordinate a BBQ relief effort of these proportions? How many volunteers did you need and how did you assemble them so quickly?
We couldn't have done this without social media. Facebook was our lifeline out of Joplin to the rest of the world. We were able to round up enough volunteers through our Facebook page and relied on the coordination of a few people back in Kansas City who scheduled the arrivals of daily workers. Will Cleaver is an excellent project manager and we were able to utilize his skills in keeping everything coordinated on the ground. We also had Randy Heimgartner, a barbecue restaurant owner from Lake of the Ozarks who ran the cook area like a professional kitchen and kept everyone busy and on task. During the course of eleven days, we estimate we had approximately 250 volunteers from eight states. Joplin is an extreme example. We don't anticipate that many natural disasters will be of the magnitude of Joplin but either way, we plan to be ready. Basically, it takes the ability to secure a location to set up, and to round up sufficient volunteers. Most importantly, it takes finding companies who will partner with you to provide food to cook. We had countless companies help in Joplin. They are all listed on our website. We appreciate all of them because without them 120,000 meals would not have been possible.
How can the Grilling.com community get involved in the current Hurricane Sandy relief effort and future projects?
We need volunteers all across the country to sign up for our database through our website. We can use anyone, whether you are a cook, judge, organizer or just someone with a love for barbecue and for helping those in need. The reason we feel we're perfect for this type of relief effort is that competition and catering barbecue cooks are used to setting up in parking lots in less than desirable conditions many weekends throughout the year. We have cooking and catering supplies readily available and often already packed in our vehicles. We can respond in a moment's notice. The people who sign up for our database at www.OperationBBQRelief.org should be willing and able to take a shift or two during the duration of any operation in their area or region to which OBR launches during natural disasters. Additionally, we can always use cash donations and donations of barbecue related products and supplies.


text: THE SOMETIMES TRUE STORY OF MAME FAYE, who ran a world famous house of prostitution in Troy, New York for almost forty years (c. 1906 to 1941). Despite being snubbed by official historians, everyone past the age of retirement has a story - funny, sordid, unbelievable - about Troy's most famous madam. SITTIN' ON A MILLION (2008, 26 minutes) presents these stories in all their contradictory glory, alongside vintage erotica, reenactments, and street performances. The film asks us to consider the role of memory and imagination in creating history, and reminds us about all those ordinary, extraordinary people erased from the official record. IN THE REALM OF MAME'S STORY, tall tales, rumors and urban myths vie with newspaper records for legitimacy. Accounts contradict one another. Two pictures identified 'positively' as Mame Faye do not appear to be of the same person. People shed tears at the memory of events that likely never occurred. IN CREATING THIS FILM, we recorded some collective memories of an aging population whose memories are on the brink of being lost forever. Since we began filming, several of our interviewees have already passed away - reminding us that when we die, our memories go with us. In yet another way, this fact raises the question: what (and who?) is worth remembering? WHO WAS MAME FAYE? Read "Mame Faye" & Other Myths from the Golden Age of Prostitution" (a short essay by Penny Lane), visit Mame's wikipedia page, and download this PDF with all the facts on Mame. CONTACT Penny or Annmarie for screenings & press inquiries. PRESS KIT (download still images, graphics and text) here. ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS: WITH SUPPORT FROM Experimental Television Center and LEF Moving Image Fund. MOST BADASS! Sittin' on a Million won the "Most Badass" award at the 2009 Iowa City Documentary Film Festival. From the judges' statement: "your dip into the minds of the elderly about the overtly sexual subject matter made us smile and recognize the importance of remembering (or maybe even imagining) more risqué moments of history." |

Fantastic Review: 'Let The Bullets Fly' Has Swagger and Substance
Fantastic Fest By Scott Beggs on September 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe fun of Let The Bullets Fly comes directly out of the verbal and situational jump rope that everyone involved commits to. It's formed with Shakespearean-style characters who both seem larger than life and able to lie. After taking down a horse-drawn train coach, the infamous bandit Pocky Zhang (played coolly by writer/director Wen Jiang) finds out that he's killed the Governor-to-be of a sleepy little hamlet called Goose Town and decides, what the hell, he'll ride into town claiming to be the man he's killed. Fortunately, a toady named Tang (Xiaogang Feng) and the poor dead man's unaffected widow (Carina Lau) want to tag along to avoid being murdered on the side of the road. When they ride into town, they'll face off against the man who controls the city with a wealthy fist. Master Huang (played with pure genius by Chow Yun-Fat) gives them the proverbial finger by sending his hat to personally greet them, and the escalating game of egos gets started at a gallop.

For this week's column, I wanted to share part of an email that I got from a contractor in the Toronto area:
Good Morning Mike,
I'm the son in a father-and-son contracting firm located just east of Toronto. I have to say I truly enjoyed reading the article you wrote on how you helped Navid Tirmizi and his family make something more for their lives by streamlining their small business.
I have to be honest with you that I felt almost ashamed while reading towards the middle of your article when you were pointing out the common flaws of typical renovation companies like mine. I kept seeing neon letters flashing in my head – "Yes, that's me. I'm guilty of these same traits and I know it and don't do anything about it." You literally made me feel like I was in a classroom again being scolded as the bad example. Very eye-opening.
As a result, I'm writing to first ask if you could spare a copy of the sales process you shared with Navid. Secondly, how do I go about hiring you or a local company like yourself to help shape our family business, which has been around (almost 3 decades) into a systematic and streamlined operation? My father is (in his 50s) and I'd like him to be able to finally relax and see that all his hard work finally paid off.
If you'd like to receive your own copy of that sales process document, click here.
We'd like to hear your own stories. If you have a business challenge, or an insight, please get in touch with me and I'll see what we can do to help.

This picture book story will help to develop your child's language and literacy skills, especially their listening skills. Watching it together is a great way of encouraging your child to enjoy books and the whole process of storytelling. The activity is also great for stimulating their imagination as they listen to Cerrie tell the tale of a tickly octopus who annoyed all the other sea creatures.
How to extend the magic
Why not create a special storytelling den in the corner of the room and come up with your own ocean tale. It can be about any sea creature - and it could feature mermaids and pirates if you like! Why not have some fun making sound effects (e.g. 'SWISH SWASH', 'SPLASH!', 'PLOP!') as you make up your story?

Cutbacks will not increase poverty...it will just stop reducing poverty. But reducing poverty thrpough unsustainable public expenditure is temporary, ineffective, and results in more unintended consequaences than solutions anyway. Even a windfall like the gobs upon gobs of offshore oil dollars couldn't do it....is that proof enough for you?!? The only way to reduce poverty is through provate sector job creation, not arbitrary, inefficient re-distribution of other people's money. That's what governemnt's will never admit, and never will accept, because there's simply no votes in that truth. It's all about public service folks...

David it seems as if you oppose government involvement in dealing with our serious social and health care issues. Are you opposed to the Dunderdale Government's support of the multibillion dollar Muscrat Falls dam. If you support her government then why don't you and your corporate colleagues look after the Muskrat Falls Project and let Government help Persons with Disabilties. and the Working poor, amongst others. You talk about "inefficient re-distribution of other people's money. Well should "other people's money" be spent on Dunderdale's Muscrat Falls? Do you support "Corporate Welfare"? Or should OUR Tax dollars, not "others or yours but OUR Tax Dollars go into mush needed Affordable accessible Housing Persons with Disabilities and new Hospitals for the Havenot people in this Have province? Speaking about Taxes don't the Poor and the Fixed Income people pay Taxes too? If you support Public Sector Cutbacks and Job Layoffs then I hope you support a FREEZE in the Dunderdale's 6 figure salaried Patronage Appointments and the Premier's Pensions and Benefits. etcetra. Mr. David I have a social conscience, I advocate for social justice and equality, but I think you are more concerned about your own self-vested interests than the "least of these" in our society.

Edward: Your first sentence is compleltely wrong, An incorrect premise never supports a worthwhile debate, so I didn't bother to read the rest. But I will say this: one of government's most basic, legiitimate repsonsibilities is to provide health care. Yet they refuse to take that role seriously enough to provide a viable, sustainable, efficient system, instead simply overseeing its eventual inevitable demise and using that issue as rhetoric elections.

Dunderdale refuses to help the COD but has handed out more money in patronage appointments in the last two weeks than the COD needs. Kind of puts it in perspective doesn't it?

Summary: Key Message:This book aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach readers by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying. Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that readers can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic. Not only does this make the material more interesting and eas ...show moreier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced.

I have an older craftsman garage door opener, pre-1996 with the green pairing button. I paired my unit with my wife's new truck yesterday and that worked out well. Except that now my truck and our keypad remote are no longer paired. The "lock" (vacation) button is not activated on the wall-mounted opener. What is the best way to pair all three transmitters to open the door? FYI, each truck has three URT buttons - I typically pair all of them to the garage opener since I don't use them for anything else and cannot be bothered to remember to which one of the three are paired :-) Thanks, Shane |
