The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Children, obey your parents in [the] Lord, for this is just. | 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. |
2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, | 2 "Honor your father and mother"--which is the first commandment with a promise-- |
3 that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth. | 3 "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." |
4 And [ye] fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in [the] discipline and admonition of [the] Lord. | 4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. |
5 Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ; | 5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. |
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul, | 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. |
7 serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men; | 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, |
8 knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free. | 8 because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free. |
9 And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him. | 9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him. |
10 For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength. | 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. |
11 Put on the panoply of God, that ye may be able to stand against the artifices of the devil: | 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. |
12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual [power] of wickedness in the heavenlies. | 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. |
13 For this reason take [to you] the panoply of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having accomplished all things, to stand. | 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. |
14 Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, | 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, |
15 and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace: | 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. |
16 besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one. | 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. |
17 Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word; | 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. |
18 praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints; | 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. |
19 and for me in order that utterance may be given to me in [the] opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the glad tidings, | 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, |
20 for which I am an ambassador [bound] with a chain, that I may be bold in it as I ought to speak. | 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. |
21 But in order that *ye* also may know what concerns me, how I am getting on, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in [the] Lord, shall make all things known to you; | 21 Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. |
22 whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts. | 22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you. |
23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. | 23 Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
24 Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. | 24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. |

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
December 1, 2013
Harold Wood is president of the 24-member Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Visalia, in California's Central Valley. The congregation is lay led and he and others in the fellowship are committed to gathering resources to create high-quality worship services and programming so that the fellowship can promote its values throughout the area.
Not that long ago if Wood wanted to gather information about worship or religious education or welcoming practices he had to travel to a district assembly or to General Assembly. But lately what he does when he wants information on a particular topic is log into a webinar from his computer at home.
Webinars are presentations of generally an hour or more, which are either presented live (scheduled) or have been previously recorded (on-demand) about a particular topic pertaining to congregational life. They're often like workshops at General Assembly, with one or two main presenters. Scheduled webinars—meaning they'll take place in the near future—sometimes require a sign-up fee. Many include opportunities to ask questions and to engage with other participants. As technology has advanced, scores of UU webinars have become available on the Internet on a wide range of topics.
Wood has become a fan of webinars, both the live ones where he can ask questions and the archived ones that he can access at his leisure. He often gathers several other congregation members to watch with him and they discuss them afterwards. One recent one was on growth and another was on worship music.
"These are just perfect for us," he said. "It takes an hour and we're done. The alternative would be for us to drive three to four hours to a congregation in the Bay Area that might have a weekend seminar. That's a large commitment that would be difficult for many of us. So webinars are very important for us."
In the past two years Unitarian Universalist (UU) webinars, also known as one form of "distance learning," have proliferated. There are too many to list individually, but they have been collected in several places.
One of the most comprehensive sites is UUA.org's webpage on Webinars for Leadership Development. It includes links to collections of webinars compiled by various Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) districts and regions. Around 100 webinars of around an hour each are listed, plus many shorter presentations, including YouTube videos on UU leadership topics. Some of the collections are searchable by topic, but others require browsing. Take a look to determine which ones might be useful for issues your congregation is facing.
In addition to single-event presentations, there are also an increasing number of online courses that meet for multiple sessions. Earlier this year the Rev. Phil Lund, Congregational Life consultant for the MidAmerica Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association, put together an online course on spiritual exploration. It met for six weeks and generally had six to seven participants. "It worked great," he said.
"This technology that allows us to see each other face to face is very satisfying. Perhaps not as much as in-person would be, but still satisfying. People say that seeing each other online helps them be more attentive to each other and aware of what they're doing.
Lund is also working to make some of the Midwest Leadership School presentations available online. "There are also opportunities for developing some online collegiality groups. I'd love to see interim ministers, for example, talk online in groups of six to eight. We could do another group for presidents of small congregations, etc."
He added, "For a few years now people have gathered in email groups, but those do not happen in real time. Being able to see someone and hear their voice makes the connections deeper. What we want to do won't replace email groups. It will just be in addition to them."
Lund is also working with Gail Forsyth-Vail, the UUA's director of Adult Programs, to create the first online renaissance module for religious educators. Completing renaissance modules is the standard way for educators to become accredited. The topic of this first online module is UU history.
Online webinars are, of course, not a substitute for being in touch with a UUA district or regional staff member when a congregational issue requires a direct conversation. These staff will also have knowledge of specific other online resources that are available in their districts or regions.

I personally don't think that there was much things to be fixed in the game at launch. I believe that there is a problem with the people who now play the game or the community at whole. XIV forced people to chat with one another in order to get things done. Out of my group of friends who play the game we had no troubles getting what we wanted. But when we solo'd it was pretty rough.
I think people expected the game to be XI but shiny, but didn't get that. So now they're trying to slowly make it into XI-2.

But I would like to see where this is going. And yes, they really need more maps, but you know they can't make money by releasing maps.

Master Race?
Speaking of Adolph, he propogated the concept of the 'Master Race' while the Americans behave as the 'Master Race'.
During an interview an american said that the American people don't know what is happening around the world. The American people are being taken for a ride by those in power. Here are some excerpts from some Americans themselves:
"The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy." - Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General under President Lyndon Johnson
"I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar soaked fingers out of the business of these [Third World] nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own. And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans."
"Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world - particularly the Third World - since the late 1940s, a fact ignored by the elite-owned media." - Ralph McGehee former CIA analyst CIABASE; The Crisis of Democracy also author of Deadly Deceits: My 25 years in the CIA
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Americans don't know anything because they don't want to know anything. They are happy being rich - as soon as the taxes go up or their standard of living falls, they soon make a noise. Killings being done abroad actually helps them to stay rich - so they are not going to complain about that. - How True!
Khilafah II This sequal will dominate world politics for all mankind, forever.

"Another great recipe from Kittencal. Served it to a group of 7 and nothing but thumbs up around the table.

"Sorry this is not the best spaghetti sauce you 'bout ever put in your mouth. Tried this because it seemed simple, with few ingredients and we were in a hurry. Quite tasteless even with a great locally smoked bacon. Definitely will not make this again."
"Very good bread, nice and moist. The only change I made was to substitute oil for the margarine which I prefer not to use. Next time I will use butter and suspect it will rise a little more than with oil. I prefer nuts in banana bread so I used pecans. Will definitely make this again. Try it you - won't be disappointed!!"
"Not outstanding but certainly better than canned soup. Followed the recipe but increased the mushrooms to 12 ounces. This is definitely not 6 servings to me. There are only 3 cups of liquid so if divided 6 ways it would mean very small portions. If I make this again I would double it."
"Great recipe. I am a Food Network junkie and recently saw a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives episode where Guy tried cornmeal pancakes. He commented how great they were, moist on inside but with the crunch of the cornmeal. When I saw this recipe I had to try it...I love molasses. Followed the recipe exactly and they are verrrrrrrry tasty. Thanks so muc..."
"This was just OK for me but has potential. The only change I made was to substitute evaporated milk for the cream. Found it to quite bland so next time I will play around with the spices. Red pepper flakes for one comes to mind. May try roasting or grilling the veggies separately as well. Thanks NoSpringChicken this does have potential."
"Sorry but unlike other Moosewood recipes I have tried this one is not for me. A fair bit of work for a less than average pasta dish. I used a quality wine, very thin fresh asparagus and mini bella mushrooms. Even with these quality ingredients the dish was very bland and honestly quite disappointing. Maybe I should have tried thyme & sage as anoth..."
"Sorry Kittencal but I won't make this one again. I have tried and continue to make many of your recipes, most of which rate 4-5 stars for me. I followed the recipe as written but doubled the onions.

Semester Transition Advising
Semesters Advising Banner
To the Wright State Community:
Following a recommendation from the University System of Ohio that calls for all Ohio public universities on the quarter system to strongly consider converting to a semester academic calendar, Wright State University's Faculty Senate has authorized an Exploratory Committee on the Transition from Quarters to Semester. This committee is being co-chaired by Faculty President Tom Sudkamp and Senior Vice President for Curriculum and Instruction Lillie Howard.
This committee, made up of faculty, staff, students, and administrators, is charged with identifying the tasks involved in a transition from quarters to semesters, producing a plan and timeline for completing the transition, and recommending possible semester calendars.
Following the submittal of the committee's report, the university will discuss the possible change to semesters with the AAUP-WSU and seek input from faculty, staff, and students. The final decision will be made by the Wright State University Board of Trustees. If a decision is made to move to semesters, we anticipate Fall 2012 to be the earliest possible date for the conversion.
Eight subcommittees of the exploratory committee have been created to focus on particular aspects of a calendar transition. They are: calendar, curriculum, academic advising, articulation and transfer, infrastructure and administrative policies, budget, technology, and communications.
As part of the planning process, we seek to ensure that a calendar conversion will not adversely affect either the time to graduation or the cost for students who entered Wright State on the quarter system, and that the transition to semesters would be workload neutral for faculty and staff.
All considerations accompanying a change of academic calendar will be guided by Wright State's own strategic plan and vision to transform the lives of our students. The process is viewed as an opportunity to create innovative curricula and provide flexible access to our programs to better serve our students and the community.
The recommendations will also be guided by the objectives and associated metrics defined in the University System of Ohio Strategic Plan for Higher Education.
Currently, there are four university members of the University System of Ohio on the quarter system: Ohio University, the University of Cincinnati, the Ohio State University, and Wright State University. The Ohio University Board of Trustees voted earlier this month to move to semesters effective Fall 2012, and the University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees will vote next month. The Ohio State University is also considering moving to semesters as early as 2012.
This site will continually be updated to answer any questions you may have about this process. We welcome your feedback and appreciate your active participation in this important process.

Innocence Proves Nothing
Daemon Hunter, a supplement for Dark Heresy, is now on sale |
Dark Heresy | Published 17 June 2011 |
"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Any glimpse of humanity they may show is merely a deception. Dedicate this weapon, given into your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to purge the Daemon. Take up your rod and staff, your armour and psycannon, and go forth."
–Lectures to the Ordo, Inquisitor Galbus Heer
Daemon Hunter, a supplement for Dark Heresy, is now on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore! The Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus and the Space Marines of the Grey Knights are the chosen warriors of the God-Emperor, tasked with keeping humanity from falling into darkness. They hunt tirelessly to rid the Imperium of their collective prey: Daemons.
Daemon Hunter is a powerful resource for any Dark Heresy campaigns featuring the servants of the holy Ordo Malleus of the Inquisition. With information and background on the Ordo Malleus in the Calixis Sector, the Daemon hunter's trade, and the Malleus armoury, Daemon Hunter is the perfect companion for players and GMs alike who wish to craft exciting campaigns for Dark Heresy.
Learn the ropes of daemon hunting with an extensive look at the origins and status of the Ordo Malleus. Then, take up arms as an acolyte in service to the Ordo Malleus by becoming a Banisher, taking the fight to the daemons. Also, learn the tools of the trade by studying the Malleus Armoury, which presents new tools for every tier of character.
Finally, Daemon Hunter includes everything players and GMs need to include Grey Knights into their Dark Heresy campaigns!
The Mighty Grey Knights
Dark Heresy's developer took a moment to share his insights on the design process of Daemon Hunter:
Salutations Acolytes,
Throughout the development and testing process of Daemon Hunter, the Dark Heresy Development Team was embarrassingly giddy over the stories that the talented pool of writers created for the Ordo Malleus in the Calixis Sector. From the Scholariate at Arms (a new faction within the Ordo Malleus) to the Grey Knights, every page has as much information as we could fit onto it. New Acolyte alternate career ranks, cell directives, and equipment fill this hefty tome.
Of course you can't have Daemon Hunters without daemons! The Daemonic Incursion chapter (written by Charles May and Ross Watson) gives GMs the tools to generate daemons with a variety of power levels and horrible tricks. Lesser Daemons, Heralds, and Greater Daemons are all as easy to create as an Acolyte, with a wide range of theme and combat strategy. Whether the GM needs a Bloodletter forged from blood and brass to challenge a group of Acolytes or a Keeper of Secrets to fight a squad of Grey Knights, the GM will never run out of daemons.
Oh... did we mention Grey Knights? The Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay community has had a lot of fun taking up the mantle of a Deathwatch Space Marine, and now they get the chance to take on the role of a Grey Knight. Daemon Hunter presents rules compatible with Dark Heresy for both PC and NPC Grey Knights. There are also additional rules and advice for including Grey Knights in a campaign using the Deathwatch Rulebook instead.
Read our recent previews of Daemon Hunter, then head to your local retailer to grab your copy today!
Dark Heresy is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Acolytes serving the Inquisition, rooting out heresy and corruption from within the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man.
Hi Guys, just got my hands on this and it's another great product, keep up the excellent work on this line.

Autoantibodies targeting proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were first described over 30years ago and are historically most commonly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The primary antigenic target is a 34kDa protein that is part of the DNA polymerase delta multi-protein complex. A number of diagnostic platforms have incorporated PCNA into their diagnostic assays and algorithms. However, little is known about the clinical utility of autoantibodies to PCNA, especially with novel detection systems. This review will focus on the history of the discovery of the PCNA autoantigen and the current status of the diagnostic significance of anti-PCNA and suggest future studies that are required to strengthen our understanding of their clinical utility.

Berenice (Seleucid queen)
Berenice, also called Berenice Syra, was the daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his first wife Arsinoe I of Egypt.
Around 252 BC she married the Seleucid monarch Antiochus II Theos, who, following the peace agreement of 253 BC between Antiochus and Ptolemy to end the Second Syrian War, divorced his wife Laodice I and transferred the succession to Berenice's children.
In 246 BC, when Ptolemy died, Antiochus II took up again with his first wife, Laodice. The Syrian king died shortly thereafter, many suspect from poisoning. Queen Berenice claimed the regency for her infant son Antiochus however, she and her son were both killed by Laodice. Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III Euergetes, succeeded their father and set about to avenge his sister's murder by invading Syria and having Laodice killed. This is also mentioned in the Book of Daniel 11:6.

Here's the agenda for our september 14th meeting (18 UTC), held on #gentoo-council 1. Intro (10 minutes including late arrivals) 1.1. Make sure that at least a couple people are logging the meeting. 1.2. Roll call. 1.3. Any volunteers to chair this meeting? 2. 10 Years Gentoo (5 Minutes) 2.1. Update on LiveCD/DVD and other activities 3. EAPI/PMS (30 Minutes) 3.1. A process to modify PMS standard that doesn't directly involve the EAPI process. As requested by "Joshua Jackson" <tsunam@...> / User relations: Required people: tsuname, ulm "Per bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273261 I'm requesting an AOB for the decision that was made by the PMS team about a process or system to modify the PMS standard that doesn't directly involve the EAPI process currently. I've set the hard date for them for the sept 10th meeting and this gives them 3 weeks to work on this so it should be no issue for them to come to this. I'm expecting them to be able to have a result by then." 3.2 EAPI / PMS comittee. If we do need/want one, vote on a structure: Required people: ulm 3.2.1 Either we form a new committee / working group for EAPI and PMS questions (more or less Calchan's proposal). I'd guess there should be one or two members from the council, plus someone from the PMS project, and a representative for each package manager. 3.2.2 In principle also the PMS project could play this role, but with its current membership of only three devs it is too weak. So some relevant people (see above) would have to join. OTOH, there's already a bugzie alias (pms-bugs), a mailing list (gentoo-pms) and an IRC channel set up. 3.2.3 Something (completely) different. 4. Establish a process to amend GLEP 39 (10 Minutes) "discuss and initiate an all-developer vote on a process to amend GLEP 39." http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/msg_663d96f01e096234c601c01220126da3.xml 5. Next meeting (5 minutes) 5.1. When? (October 12th is 4 weeks ahead) 5.2. Who makes sure we have an agenda beforehand? 6.

Here's the view from my seat at the Jil Sander spring/summer 2012 fashion show earlier this afternoon.
First Look: Jil Sander Spring Summer 2012
Just got out of the Jil Sander show thirty minutes ago. Let me share you really quick some shots I took.
More photos to follow.
Brought to you by Range Rover.
Jil Sander Spring Summer 2012 Menswear
Spring Södermalm Blossoms
What's not to love about spring? Everything smells fresh, everything turns green, the flowers are starting to come out, the birds are finally chirping. Sure, it can be a bit chilly or irritatingly drizzly at times but the allure of new lives, new beginnings after bone-chilling winters is intoxicating.
Click click click to continue!
Winter Fabrication – Jil Sander Fall Winter 2011
I'm going through some of the pictures I took at the Jil Sander fall/winter 2011 show in Milan and some of these images are too precious not to be shared. Many of the jacket and coats from his new collection are flattering for women of all ages and sizes. Terrific shapes and silhouettes aside, the fabrics that were used at the show made an indelible mark in my head. Let me ask you this — who needs the pomp and pretentiousness of embellishment when you have stunning fabric to begin with?
Click click click to continue!
Flowers From Raf
I was blown away when Raf Simons sent those spring/summer 2011 floral looks down the runway at Jil Sander. Like everything else in fashion (yes, I saw the new spring/summer 2011 Prada baroque and monkey t-shirts at the store the other day), if you can't get the full look, why not get the t-shirt?

Midnight Leopard
I bought these dark blue leopard trousers from Whyred on my last day in Stockholm. Thought I'd take them out for a spin here in Singapore a few days ago.

Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Final Walkthrough Video
Here's the view from my seat at the spring/summer 2011 Jil Sander fashion show yesterday.
Raf's show for Jil Sander is one of my top favourites in Milan so far. I love the bright colours (I love colourblocking), the volume… what a strong collection! Raf never ceases to amaze me how he's able to keep things extremely pure.
On a different note, the very inspiring Tricia Jones of i-D magazine introduced me to Raf Simons when I congratulated him for this stunning collection. You know what he said? We met during his menswear show in Florence. I was gobsmacked! Fashion is a revolving door of people day in and day out and he remembers me.
Photos to follow. Yes, I know. I keep on saying that…
Jil Sander Spring 2011 Menswear Show Finale
Jil Sander Spring 2011 Menswear Show Finale
Here's are two quick videos I took of Raf Simons' spring/summer 2011 collection for Jil Sander. I apologize for the poor quality due to the lighting. The show was held outdoors in this breathtaking villa on the outskirts of Florence. I guess they were aiming for a sunset show but the weather didn't cooperate with us.
… and here's the final walkthrough.
Anyway, I had the pleasure of meeting Raf before the show started. He's tall and he's lovely. It was somewhat eerie to shake his hand. It's like touching Jesus.
More pics and text to follow. It's late and I have to pack… I'm going to Milan tomorrow!
I think I don't have that many shows on my checklist this time around. As you know, I've been traveling so much the past few months and I haven't had the chance to sort out my requests. So far I've got a few blue-chip shows confirmed: Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, Burberry Prorsum, Calvin Klein and then I also have D&G, Cavalli, Etro, Ferragamo and I think two or three more. I'm gonna make a conscious effort to go to presentations and showrooms of smaller labels.
Jil Sander Spring 2011 Menswear at Pitti Uomo 78 Florence
Jil Sander Spring 2011 Menswear at Pitti Uomo 78 Florence
As a special guest of Pitti Uomo, Raf Simons will show his spring 2011 menswear collection for Jil Sander on Thursday here in Florence. I've received my invitation earlier today.
Jil Sander will also livestream their show at http://www.jilsander.com on Thursday, Jun 17 starting at 3:15PM US Eastern Time.
On a side note, I googled Villa Gamberaia, which is about 30 minutes away from Florence, and oh my lord, it looks beautiful.
Guests to the show are advised not to wear high heels due to an "outdoor location".
BTW, there's a garden party following the show.
I can't wait!

Forget dusty museums and tired exhibits — Queensland's art scene is prolific. With accomplished artists and internationally recognised galleries, Queensland is quickly establishing itself as a leading destination for the arts.
Natural rock art galleries evidence Aboriginal artists from days gone by. Local museums and memorials mark historic events and people to ensure they will not be forgotten. Former island convict settlements now reflect the hardships that early Australians endured.
So why not take some time to enjoy Queensland culture, even if it's only an arts market; just expect to receive a friendly smile and chat when you visit.

I'm planning the renovation of our small bathroom in our 1930'shouse. The bathroom currently has no windows, and I want to bring in some natural light. I had original thought to put in a window, but as I research it further I've decided that it's not our best choice since the only spot for a window is also the only spot for the shower/bath. An additional reason for going for a skylight is that with our plans to tile the bathroom walls, the window would have to go in before we tiled, but if we put in a skylight that could be a project done later, after we saved up a wee bit more money after the initial renovation cost.
Because our attic is partially finished, the skylight would have to go in the space above where the tub/shower is located, which would go up through the kneewall space above. It would have to be one of the type of skylights that.. I don't know the word for it: It won't be directly on our bathroom ceiling but we'd have to build a walled opening between the ceiling and the roof a few feet above. (please someone tell me the correct words to use for this!) My questions are:
Thanks for any suggestions and ideas that you can share! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you checked out the www.Solatube.com website? Their skylights give LOTS of light...WAY more than the 2' x 2' regular skylights we have in our two bathrooms. Cost is lots less than a regular skylight too. |
I have a 'fixed' (does not open) window in my bath. It is wide, and up high. If I could find my tape measure, I could give you the dimensions and height from the floor. It does not require a curtain, and is just now, after 20 years, needing some polyurethane work on the trim. I second the vote for the solatube. I think there may be other brands out there also. I am interested in them for a dark hall, and did a little research a while back. I have skylights in my living room, and while I enjoy the extra sun generated heat in the winter, they sure put a strain on the AC in the summer. Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: google result for solar tube light
I worry about cutting an extra hole in the roof for any reason. I feel that a skylight will eventually leak, be it 5 years, 10 years or whatever. I second the idea about a Wide but short (in height )window above the shower. I did this when we built our house. It looks like the old glass blocks but is a one piece unit. A window supplier can show you one in a catalog. We just love ours. It lets in light and I have peace of mind about the roof. If you are determined to have a skylight then I think the previous recommendations are your best bet. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Sun, Jan 6, 13 at 11:19
Newer skylight systems, when installed properly, should be no more likely to leak than any other penetration through the roof deck. The deployment and proper usage of Ice/Water, flashing kits, and step flashing all make for a leak proof install that should last the life of the roof. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Freya!
Facts about Freya
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Freya's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Freya was rescued from a kill shelter. She had a little upper respiratory infection at the time but she recovered quickly and has become the most friendly, playful, happy kitten! She loves to chase moving objects (including imagined ones) as much as snuggling with her foster person!
She will be spayed in a week. We wanted to make sure she is healthy and strong before she has surgery.
Other Pets at North Brooklyn Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Freya, a Brooklyn American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

Reserator 3 MAX AIO Continued
As the plumbing comes from and goes to the head unit, Zalman takes a few bits of plastic and dresses up this union so that it looks cleaner, and keeps experimenting people from easily getting to the connections; thus voiding the product's warranty. This is also the only irregularity to the radiator that needs accommodating for when mounting it.
The radiator, the fan, and the mounting hardware are all locked together back here. Inside of where you see the 4-pin fan lead the fan is attached with three screws. On the back, the wrap around plastic cage is mounted to the X-shaped mounting support, making it all one solid component when it is completed.
Not that you should ever disassemble these units, but the Zalman name plate on this side is screwed into the cage. This is the part that toes a C-shaped cage into one full circle. This will need to be removed so I can get a little deeper into this design.
Once the fan and the cage are removed, you can now see the larger radiator that goes around the outside, along with the smaller radiator that is fitted inside of it. The way the tubing is run, the coolant makes four passes through the pipes and has hundreds of chances to be absorbed by the individual fins.
Removing one last cover shows you in detail how the loop is set up for flow. As you can see the liquid makes a pass through the outside, runs through a u-pipe to take a second pass, then hits another u-pipe for a third pass through the inner radiator, then for giggles they make it pass through for a fourth time before the coolant is allowed to get back to the head unit.
The fan that is shipped attached to the Reserator 3 MAX is the ZE1225BSM fan you are looking at now. The clear blades and the clear hub will allow the built-in LEDs to glow through all of the fans components.

My 2008 Garden Story (lots of pics)
posted by: greenbean08 on 11.24.2008 at 02:15 am in Square Foot Gardening Forum Here are some pictures of my garden this year...
I decided in May to build my garden. This year I had two 4' x 10' beds. I built them from redwood that was once somebody's deck. May 19, 2008
How do you like them spiffy stick trellises there?? (hey, it was free...) And my little potato bin...
This bed has corn, watermelon, zucchini, one tomato, red onions, and cucumber. There were more onions in the package than I had planned for, so I squeezed them in. They were overrun by the zucchini, tomato & cuke. They're getting their own, unshaded spot next year. July 7, 2008
This bed has radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, walla walla onions, yellow beans, peppers, sugar snap peas, and that big patch of plants right there is (wait for it) GREEN BEANS (ok, they're one of my favorites).
Here they are with their hail protection covers. I used old sheer curtains and irrigation tubing (ok, these I had to buy, but the sheers came from goodwill...) I also discovered the county's free mulch pile. I did pay $4 per load for the loader to scoop it into the trailer... Next year I plan to arrange somewhat by height, so the covers can be either short or tall, not both in the same area...
And the potatoes were coming along nicely. I also built a compost bin. It only has 2 compartments because I was trying to keep everything hidden from the street by the retaining wall...
And again Aug 12, 2008
As you can see, it got a little overcrowded...Hope I do a better job planning next time... Notice the pile of straw by the potato bin... It was getting watered by the sprinkler system overspray from the lawn above. DH didn't realize it, and while I was out of town, he watered them again. When they started turning yellow, he watered them some more... I was trying to dry them out, but it was too late. I did manage to pluck a couple potatoes out, but not much.
I started tracking yields in August. Before I kept track, the bulk of my green beans and sugar snap peas came in (I'd guess a few pounds, it's when I was gone & DH was picking). Lettuce, spinach, and radishes weren't measured either. In August, Sept & Oct, I harvested (approximately): I liked it all so much, I'm adding more: I'm no longer hidden by the retaining wall, so I put up a little fence to screen it... Nov 23, 2008
There are boxes along the "alley" fence (above photo) that will be going in, but I have to move some lilac bushes first. I figured I'd fill them with OM and get a head start on next year, even if I do have to move it all. I also have some steps now between the compost bin and the house, so I don't have to jump off the wall (or walk around) anymore.
These are my 2 original beds (below). The kiddie pool is the temporary spot for my strawberries, until their bed is in place. I got them a little earlier than planned because someone was cleaning out their runners and giving them away. There will be 3 smaller beds along this fence line, two 4x4 and one 4x5. Oh, and I have a front for my compost bin now. It was a metal dog kennel that someone was tossing.
To the right of the originals, there are two more 4x5 beds. Along the far right fence is another, about 2.5 x 11. Toward the end of the long skinny bed, you can see a metal ring, I'm going to use a few of those for some rhubarb, and I think, to plant my zucchini next year. It might be easier if it's not in one of the beds I'm thinking. I don't have those set or filled yet.
And here inside the stone bed (it's right behind the "new" picket fence) is where the raspberry patch is going.
And another view:
So there it is. I had some things work well for me this year, some didn't, but overall, I was happy! I have high hopes for next year... NOTES: <none>

Most of the time we are not conscious of the positive impact made by those with whom we work and live. Emotional attachments are formed with our co-workers, as a matter of course.
We even form a working relationship with those whose personalities clash with our own. We cover that strongly felt emotion by being diplomatic and courteous to that co-worker, boss, or employee.
That is something that we certainly should do.
Over my 40 years, first as a Cleveland policeman, a short stint as a TVA federal policeman and, then, many years as a deputy sheriff I have seen many people fail. They have failed the oath of office, they have failed and brought reproach on their families and friends.
Overwhelmingly, these were likeable people from good families. Many were talented people who on the spur of the moment sold out for wine, women, song or greed.
There has always been a few who were corrupted.
As a supervisor, I have had to deal with the disciplining and termination of a number of law-enforcement people. As the sheriff, I am still doing the same.
I trust my staff to supervise and discipline, while following the guidelines of our policy and procedures manual. This protocol is continually studied and revised as necessary.
Yet, the buck stops with me.
I try to stay out of the way letting our senior staff do the job they are trained and paid to do. I did not like to be micro-managed and I try to honor that position as sheriff. I do reserve the right to intervene when I believe it is necessary.
I am very saddened by the demotion and the termination of a couple of our senior staff members. There is no bright spot in all of this. However, it is good when they decided to "man-up" when their activities were brought to light.
Some in the past have not done that.
Since I have been elected, I have had to make these hard decisions that can have devastating affects on spouses, children, extended family and friends.
Yet, it must be done to protect the integrity of the sheriff's office. It saddens me every time, even when the officer breaks the law. I am, also, angry that they have brought reproach on all law-enforcement everywhere.
Personally, I have been called a lot of bad names by my political enemies, and people I have arrested over the years, but all of them with any credibility, will tell you that I am honest and that I will not tolerate corruption. I am grateful for that reputation and will go a long way to defend it.
We have tried to be gracious in our termination of people by letting them quietly resign. I have done this to protect innocent children, spouses and family members. But, some of these fired or resigned employees have shown arrogance by their half-truths and outright lies that they spread. They have thrown this grace I have given them in the mud.
I have had to fire people for in-subordination, common thievery, cheating on their time sheets, lying, abusing county equipment, abusing their power as an officer, conduct unbecoming, and many other things.
Another problem that I have had to deal with since I was elected is that there is always a few not loyal to their oath of enforcing the laws and working hard to detect criminal activity.
They have demonstrated this by their loose lips and gossip. There have been major investigations compromised by two or three deputies getting word to the suspect{s} in undercover investigations. This certainly violates our policy and smacks of corruption.
I will not tolerate this dishonesly. You will be hearing of demotions or terminations, if warranted, after I finish my review of this very egregious type of offense. If you cannot trust the word of a person who makes a living carrying a gun, then who can you trust? Where that trust is lost I, and many others, are working to restore it.
My whole belief system is based on grace, forgiveness, redemption and restoration. On my part I will forgive and help in the restoration of those who have messed up. I will, also, maintain the integrity of the sheriff's office. At what cost to me? I do not know, but that is my commitment.
There have been too many incidents of misconduct in the last couple of years in law-enforcement locally and across the nation. Someone said that this is just another sign of a deteriorating society.
Maybe, but I do not accept that as a standard for Bradley County. Most law-enforcement people are doing a good job and are walking the walk.
As always, thanks for reading.

Tuvalu made waves when the country's representative at Copenhagen caused one of the discussion tracks to be suspended by walking out in protest. Tuvalu wanted a stronger agreement that would also cut some developing country emissions, and is proposing a new treaty that be much stricter than Kyoto and limit CO2 concentrations to 350ppm.
China and India reacted strongly to the proposal, which they said would constrain their economies too much. Even some of Tuvalu's fellow small-island nations have backed away from its tough stance.
Tuvalu is a tiny Pacific island nation with a population of about 12,000 and GDP somewhere in the region of $15m. Its main sources of income are remittances, aid, fishing rights and the .tv domain extension. As a low-lying nation, it has a lot of lose from rising sea levels associated with climate change. Think of the Maldives, only without the lucrative tourism industry.
Tuvalu, we note, also recognises Taiwan, something that is not popular with China (but more popular among small, poor nations with little to lose from offending China).
Another question that arises out of this: What will it mean for the G77, the developing countries' group?
The envoy for the Association of Small Island States has been generally supportive of its member Tuvalu and shares its desire to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees, rather than the 2 degrees that bigger nations are focused on. But it's hard to see what Tuvalu has in common with China. The AOSIS envoy acknowledged the diversity amongst G77 members, but added "the thing that unites G77 and China is that we are pursuing development out of a history of colonial and under-developed circumstance".
This might not be enough to create common ground between Tuvalu and the world's biggest emitter of CO2.
