Plexus Slim Weight Loss Tips
After you have reached your ideal weight with the Plexus Slim products you may be able to keep it there by following these simple weight loss tips.
1. The Golden Rule – Stick to high calorie tasting and low calorie treat! That's right; this should help you from feeling deprived of all the rich foods out there, and yet stick to your weight-loss program. For this, you should know the calorie count in each food that will help you analyze your food better. For the records, Lobster has just 83 calories; shrimps have 60 calories in 10 large sizes. Whipped cream has just 8 calories, so you can drop it over a large bowl of fresh fruits and get your desserts done!
2. Orange Juice – Orange juice goes a long way to cut down your fat and is full of vitamins C. Hence, after your breakfast, go ahead and drink a glass of orange juice, as it will not only help you digest your food faster, but will compensate for any high calorie that you have taken in. However, for the rest of the day you can concentrate on drinking water rather than juice or soda. Did you know that an average American gains an additional 245 calories just by drinking soft drinks? That is 25 pounds extra on your actual weight!
3. Split Your Meals – you have heard this before, and today seems to be the latest trend in all celebrity diets. However, splitting your meals to four or five times a day does a great deal when it comes to helping you losing weight. The fact is, when you restrict your food to three times a day, you tend to consume more than your body needs, which ultimately gets stored as fat in your body. On the other hand, if you concentrate on splitting your meals, you would not only consume less, but will stick to appropriate potions that your body needs without ever feeling hungry.
4. Walking – if you are not much of an 'exercise enthusiast' don't worry, you still have something that requires no effort of going to a gym or expensive machines. What you need to do is to take a walk for 45 minutes every day. The reason why you should indulge yourself in 45 minutes of walking is because, the first 30 minutes just gets you warmed up and is a relaxation for sedentary people. Beyond 30 minutes is what you use of your body fat and lose weight eventually. Do you know that walking 25 minutes a day could help you lose up to 30 pounds in a year?
5. Make the plate your Pal – we all have a habit of eating straight away from the packet or gobbling up food right from the refrigerator. This under any circumstances should be avoided because eating straight away from the packet or from the refrigerator allows you to eat more than you require. Instead, if you put your food in a plate and then start your meal, you would be able to control your portion sizes, as well as know the amount of calories that you take in. Most people tend to gain weight because they unknowingly eat a lot from the packet, or just pick up food from the fridge as snack and end up scaling on calories.
6. Eat Slowly – in our eat-n-run culture we almost forget to eat our food slowly even if we have ample time to finish our food. This strategy has more to do with your psychological self, as it is studied that the human brain takes at least 15 minutes after finishing your food, to signal your brain that your stomach is full. Hence, if you eat slowly, chances are that you would be eating less and still feel full rather than shoving up big size burgers, fries and then again a large portion of ice cream, only to feel overstuffed. And since you cannot put back what got into your stomach, predictably it will be accumulated in your body as stored fat.
Combine Weight Loss Tips With Drinking Plexus Slim
Combine this list of wight loss tips with your one time of day Plexus Slim drink and you will be on your way to your weight loss goals. Losing weight does not have to be hard and complicated and make you feel deprived of something. Just the opposite should happen. You should feel good about yourself because your doing your body right and not overeating.

Sergeant, U.S. Cavalry, Western Plains, 1880's |
Because of the large quantities of Civil War issue uniforms, Civil War uniforms remained in service for the remainder of the 1860's and early 1870's. Then, as stocks of war surplus dwindled and internal pressure to do away old patterns, a series of new uniforms were produced. The entire army would switch to a hybrid uniform based on several European models, yet with many aspects that were unique to the Americans. It has been said that the U.S. Cavalry dress uniform of the 1880's is the best looking ever issued to the American soldier. The new cavalry dress helmet drew on Prussian, Russian, and British influences, but its fur like body was unlike any materials commonly used in the Old World. The ornamentation on the front and back of the helmet, which were yellow mohair, and the cords that extended around the trooper's neck and passed down under right arm to be draped across the chest was another feature not seen on helmets in Europe. Unfortunately, earlier model helmets were top heavy and soldiers claimed that it caused headaches or proved to difficult to keep in place when mounted. Coats for troopers had plain chests. The dress coat resembled the French chasseur's habit-turnique including the basic color of dark blue and yellow trim, but the ornamentation of the cuffs was more typical of British facings. By 1885, the enlisted dress uniform for cavalrymen remained pretty much unchanged until the early 20th century. The troopers serving on the western plains on remote garrisons looked more like European horse soldiers on parade rather than the stereotypical image of Indian fighting cavalry depicted by Hollywood. |

Schneider: IT and energy management control systems bring efficiency
A new Schneider Electric initiative offers green data center design templates and encourages IT to work more closely with energy management control systems.
NEWPORT, R.I. - IT pros will have to become a lot more familiar with energy management control systems if Schneider Electric's vision of the future becomes reality.

Schneider is a French provider of energy management equipment and software. Its subsidiaries include American Power Conversion (APC), which it acquired in 2006. This cross-disciplinary approach to IT and energy management is a major consideration for other green-computing industry leaders, including Cisco Systems Inc., which has its own EnergyWise program.
Bridging the worlds of IT and energy management together requires staff on both teams to cooperate more and learn more about each other's technologies. When Greg Ganger started building the Parallel Data Lab, a data center for studying storage and energy challenges at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, he had to move out of his IT comfort zone and learn about thermal dynamics and airflow. "I'd never concerned myself with that stuff," he said. Ganger, now the director of the Parallel Data Lab, acknowledged he's still not an expert in those things, but he has enough of an understanding to reap the benefits of energy management control systems, and that's what's important, he said. "You have to be able to work together without being an expert in the other topic," he said. "You have to have technologies that allow you to interact effectively without making it really hard to interact safely. It's just too much stuff to understand all of it."

Computex 2013: ASUS Unveils First Mini-ITX ROG Motherboard: The Z87 Maximus VI Impact
Subject: Motherboards | June 4, 2013 - 03:12 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ROG, mini-itx, mini ITX, maximus vi impact, maximus vi, computex 2013, computex, asus
ASUS held a Republic of Gamers press conference earlier today that focused on new product announcements for its ROG brand. Among the new ROG gear was the company's first Mini-ITX ROG motherboard with the ASUS Maximus VI Impact motherboard.
This board may be tiny, but it is packed with features and overclocking-friendly hardware! This Mini-ITX motherboard is clad in the red and black ROG color scheme and features ASUS' Impact Power add on card that takes the VRMs and other electrical regulation hardware up off of the mainboard and into a separate add in card above the CPU. This Impact Power riser card includes a 8+2 digital power phase for both the CPU and memory. The board also includes a SupremeFX Impact sound card and a mPCIe Combo II card. The SupremeFX Impact module uses ELNA audio capacitors and features a headphone amplifier and 115dB SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). Further, the mPCIe Combo II card provides a NGFF (think of this as next-generation mSATA) slot as well as 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless radios.
Apart from the bundled ASUS cards, the board provides a single PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot, two DDR3 memory slots, four SATA 3 ports, and (of course) the LGA 1150 CPU socket ready to accept an Intel Haswell processor. The board comes with a standard 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power connectors.
The rear IO panel includes:
- 2 x HDMI
- 1 x S/PDIF
- Impact Control and BIOS reset buttons
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 1 x eSATA
- 4 x USB 3.0
- 1 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
- 3 x Audio jacks (via SupremeFX sound card)
ASUS has not yet announced pricing or availability for this Mini-ITX Maximus VI Impact motherboard, but it looks like a solid board and I am anxious to see how well it overclocks!

Smaller than a breadbox; building mini-ITX systems
Subject: Systems | May 31, 2013 - 07:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, mini-itx
Building a mini-ITX system that is small enough to be attached to the back of a monitor or hidden with your stereo components takes a bit more thought than assembling a full ATX system. It is not just about the size of the components you are purchasing, heat dissipation is much more important in a small system especially if it will be located somewhere that does not have great air circulation. TechSpot has put together a guide for those thinking of building such a system, using the Akasa Euler Case as the housing and powered with a Core i5-3470T. As you can see from the picture below, the final system is smaller than an HD7970.
"The idea behind the Thin Mini-ITX form factor, besides the obvious which is to create seriously compact computers, is also to allow for DIY all-in-ones (think of little PCs you can attach to the back of your monitor). Having that said, we don't fully intend to go the all-in-one route in this article, but are aiming to build a powerful Thin Mini-ITX system that can be used in the office or at home as a media PC.
This is what our finished system should look like: extremely compact, powerful, and near silent operation, as in no-moving-parts silent. For less than $700 including a 256GB SSD, we believe you'll love what the final product will look like."

Fractal Design's Node 304 White Mini-ITX Case Is Coming In July
Subject: General Tech | May 22, 2013 - 06:27 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: fractal design, mini-itx, case, Node 304
Fractal Design is launching a new version of its existing Node 304 computer chassis. The new Node 304 White comes in white and supports Mini-ITX motherboards. The case measures 250 x 210 x 374mm and weighs 4.9kg.
The Node 304 is constructed of aluminum and has a white painted exterior. There are two mesh air vents on either side of the case as well as two 92mm Silent Series R2 fans working as front intakes behind filters to keep dust out of the case. Front IO includes two USB 3.0 ports and two audio jacks. The rear of the case features two expansion slots, a space for an ATX power supply, and a single 140mm Silent Series R2 exhaust fan.
Internally, the Node 304 White can fit standard ATX power supplies, a Mini-ITX motherboard, and up to six 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives. Alternatively, with two of the hard drive mounts removed, the case can accommodate graphics cards up to 310mm in length.
It is a minimalist design,but one that works well. Airflow should not be a problem even for high-end components, and the inclusion of the three fans, filters, and a fan controller is nice to see. The case will be available in July with an MSRP of $89.90 in the US and 69.90 EURO in Europe.
Noctua Offers Free Alternative Mounting Kit for Low-Profile NH-L9a Cooler
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 26, 2013 - 12:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: noctua, nh-l9a, hsf, cooler, mini-itx, low profile cooler
Noctua, an Austrian company known for its high-end air CPU coolers has announced that it will be offering up alternatvie mounting kits to users of its low profile NH-L9a cooler that have incompatible motherboards. Certain mini-ITX motherboards that place components on the back of the motherboard around the processor socket are incompatible with the company's existing SecureFirm 2 mounting kit because the backplate cannot be installed.
The new alternative mounting system for the NH-L9a CPU cooler uses Noctua's NM-APS3 spacers that go in place of the standard backplate. The spacers go in between the motherboard and screws, but are small enough to not run into any components installed in the area normally reserved for a CPU backplate. Two such boards that Noctua has found to be incompatible are the mini-ITX AsRock FM2A75M-ITX and AsRock FM2A85X-ITX.
Users with an incompatible motherboard and NH-L9a cooler can obtain the alternative mounting kit for free by contacting Noctua's customer service line and providing them with a proof of purchase (scan, photo, or electronic invoice) receipt for both the Noctua cooler and an incompatible motherboard. Additionally, Noctua will be including both the standard SecureFirm 2 and alternative mounting kits in the retail NH-L9a cooler box from now on.
It is nice to see Noctua continuing its tradition of good customer care. They many not be as popular as other cooler vendors in the US but it seems they are a company willing to go the extra mile for its enthusiast customers.

The Z77N-WiFi is GIGABYTE's latest edition to the Mini-ITX lineup. Although the board is not as packed with features as some of the other enthusiast-minded mini-ITX boards, GIGABYTE did some interesting things with the board layout to space components out on the board more evenly. The Z77N-WiFi even comes standard with dual-Realtek GbE NICs and an Intel 802.11n-based WiFi mPCIe card. We put the board through our normal gamut of tests to see how well this mighty mite sized up with its full-sized brethren. The Z77N-WiFi board comes with an equally reasonable retail price at a mere $129.99.

Lian-Li Launching Two New Mini-ITX Cases In May
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 19, 2013 - 07:03 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: PC-Q28, PC-Q27, mini-itx, Lian Li, aluminum case
PC Chassis manufacturer Lian-Li has launched two new mini-ITX cases that will be available next month. The PC-Q27 and PC-Q28 are both brushed aluminum cases that accommodate a single graphics card, a mini-ITX motherboard, at least one case fan, and several hard drives.
The PC-Q27 is the smallest of the two cases at 7.8" x 11.8" x 9.4." The case is constructed of aluminum and the outside features a black or silver brushed aluminum finish. The front of the case features a single 5.25" optical drive bay, a LED-lit power button, and two USB 3.0 ports on the right side of the case. Internally, the PC-Q27 case uses Lian-Li's rail motherboard mounting system for mini-ITX boards. It can host a single graphics card up to 195mm in length, two 3.5" hard drives, and one 5.25" drive. The case is cooled by a single 120mm bottom-mounted fan when the hard disk drive bay is removed. To facilitate airflow, the case has vents along the bottom and rear of the case. The case is held up by case feet to allow the fan to pull in cool air.
Meanwhile, the PC-Q28 is a bit larger and wider at 8.9" x 12" x 13.5." IT also comes in a silver or black brushed aluminum design. This case is the successor to Lian-Li's PC-Q18. It can hold a mini-ITX motherboard, a single GPU up to 290mm in length, and up to seven 3.5" hard drives. The mini-ITX case features two removable hard drive cages and two fans. There is a single 140mm fan located on the bottom of the case that acts as an intake (and includes a dust filter to keep the case internals clean), and one 120mm exhaust fan on the top of the case. The outside of the case features four case feet to lift the case off the ground, rounded corners, and a simple front panel that host a power button and 5.25" drive bay. The right side of the case hosts two USB 3.0 ports and two analog HD audio jacks.
Both of Lian-Li's new mini-ITX cases will be available sometime in May. The smaller PC-Q27 has an MSRP of $78.99 while the PC-Q28 will cost $118.99.

ASUS Finalizes Mini-ITX System Friendly GTX 670 DirectCU Mini Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 3, 2013 - 10:14 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, mini-itx, gtx 670, GK104, directcu mini, asus
ASUS has finalized the design for its Kepler-based DirectCU Mini graphics card. The new card combines NVIDIA's GTX 670 GPU and reference PCB with ASUS' own power management technology and a new, much smaller, air cooler. The new ASUS cooler has allowed the company to offer a card that is a mere 17cm long. Compared to traditional GTX 670 graphics cards with coolers at approximately 24cm, the DirectCU Mini is noticeably smaller.
The DirectCU Mini features a GTX 670 GPU clocked at 928MHz base and 1,006MHz boost. It also has 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus. The card requires a single 8-pin PCI-E power connector. Video outputs include two DVI, one DisplayPort, and a single HDMI port. The ASUS cooler includes a copper vapor chamber and a single CoolTech fan. According to ASUS, the DirectCU Mini is up to 20% cooler and slightly quieter than previous GTX 670 cards despite the smaller form factor.
This new card will be a great addition to Mini-ITX-based systems where saving space anyway possible is key. It is nice to know that gamers will soon have the option of powering a small form factor LAN box with a GPU as fast as the GTX 670. Even better, water cooling enthusiasts will be happy to know that the card still uses a reference PCB, meaning it is compatible with existing water blocks made for the current crop of GTX 670 cards.
Pricing and availability have not been announced, but the small form factor-friendly GPU is now official and should be coming sometime soon.

Intel Celeron 847 Benchmarked Against Atom and AMD APU-Based Low-Power Systems
Subject: Motherboards | March 8, 2013 - 06:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: roundup, motherboards, mini-itx, celeron 847, APU, amd e-450
While high end motherboards and processors tend to get the most attention from enthusiasts, sometimes less is better (*waits for Josh to stop laughing on the podcast). More often than not seen integrated in small form factor OEM boxes, there are a few motherboards out there that come as a bare board and integrated processor to be the basis of low power desktops, network devices, and home theater PCs. Both Intel and AMD have hats in the low power game, and Hartware.de has pitched four such low power boards against each other. The MSI C847MS-E33-847 and Biostar NM70I pack Intel Celeron 847 CPUs, The Zotac D2550-ITX WIFI hosts an Intel Atom D2550 processor plus a NVIDIA GT 610 IGP, and the ASUS E45MI-M Pro is powered by an AMD E-450 APU.
Hartware.de puts several low power boards into the thunderdome to see which one(s) reign supreme.
As it turns out, the results are nearly in line with what one might expect. The Atom D2550-powered system was the slowest, the APU and ASUS motherboard was the fastest, and the Celeron was somewhere in the middle. The AMD E-450 APU used the most power, and the system was one of the most expensive, however. Interestingly, the Atom system was not all that much more power efficient than the Celeron despite the lower performance and weaker hardware. The Celeron 847 chip had decent CPU performance, and mid-range power and some of the best thermals. All of the configurations were able to playback media, but the AMD system gave the most fluid results.
If you are in the market for low power system parts, the review is worth checking out.
Here are some additional Motherboard reviews from around the web:

A Crowd Funded Mini-ITX Case, the NCASE M1
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 17, 2013 - 03:51 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: ncase, mini-itx, mini ITX, m1
We love us some mini-ITX products that enable us to build powerful PCs and HTPCs in smaller chassis and using smaller footprints than traditional ATX and even MicroATX designs. We have reviewed several mini-ITX motherboards including EVGA's Z77 Stinger and even a couple of mini-ITX based pre-build computers like AVADirect Mini Gaming PC and the Digital Storm Bolt. All of these products showcase the capability to get incredible computing and gaming horsepower in a small design.
Recently I came across a thread in the /r/hardware sub-reddit discussing crowd funding for a new kind of mini-ITX chassis design. In what started as a discussion on the HardForum has resulted in a design ready for prototyping and tooling.
That is where the community comes in! The designers have started an Indiegogo.com project to help get funding from users like you and me to enable prototype units to be built and tested. I already tossed in a chunk of money from PC Perspective and I think once you see what they have designed you'll be interested as well.
The NCASE M1 is a new Mini-ITX case that raises the bar in performance, versatility, and design for SFF PC cases. With support for 12.5" GPUs, water or air cooling, and a variety of drive mounting options, the M1 offers unparalleled power and flexibility for its surprisingly small footprint, all wrapped in an elegant, minimalist aluminum exterior.
We've spent months perfecting the design using feedback from [H]ardForum community and Lian Li's engineers. Our goal is to take this design to production, and we need your help.
The next step before production is to test a prototype of the M1. The funding goal is the minimum we need to produce a prototype plus a small components budget to test fitment, thermals and noise.
The more funding we're able to raise, the more hardware configurations we'll be able to test for, which leads to a better product. If we achieve our funding goal, don't let it stop you from backing us! Every little bit will help make the M1 better.
Just look at the projected specifications and device support:
Dimensions: 240mm x 160mm x 328mm (250mm tall w/feet), 12.6L
Motherboard Support: Mini-ITX, Mini-DTX
Expansion Slots: 3
GPU Support: 12.5" (slot 1 & 2) or 11" (slot 3)
CPU Cooler Support: Up to 105mm tall; 120mm and 240mm radiators also supported
Drive Support: 3 x 3.5" HDD mounts; 3 x 2.5" drive mounts; 1 x slim slot-load optical drive mount
Power Supply Support: SFX or ATX (up to 140mm non-modular, or longer w/short GPU)
Fan Support: 2 x 120mm side & bottom mounts; 80/92mm bottom & rear mounts
Front Ports: 2 x USB 3.0, headphone and microphone
A chassis design that is built not just but a single engineer in Taiwan but rather by actual users that want to perfect a product based on the input from the community DIRECTLY - it is an incredible goal!
I have included some additional images below but you should make sure you head over to the Indigogo.com project page and learn about the NCASE M1 and contribute any amount you can to make this a reality. Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future we'll be able to pick up one for ourselves and showcase it on PC Perspective!
10-phase riser card powered mini-ITX Ivy Bridge from ASUS
Subject: Motherboards | February 5, 2013 - 06:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asus, Intel Z77, P8Z77-I Deluxe, mini-itx, lucid
The most instantly noticeable thing about the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe has to be the riser card sporting an array of capacitors and providing 8+2 power phase VRMs. What isn't as noticeable until you use the motherboard is the Intel SRT support, Lucid Virtu and the overclocking options available in the UEFI BIOS. Being a Mini-ITX board, the singly PCI Express x16 slot and dual memory slots are to be expected but the spacing is such that you should have no problems with full sized DIMMs or oversized GPUs, depending on the cooler and case you choose. The included dual Wi-Fi antennas are a nice bonus from ASUS as well. Drop by The Tech Report to see this board in action.
"The P8Z77-I Deluxe packs a lot of goodness into a tiny package. We take a closer look at the board's features, performance, and overclocking potential."

''Will & Grace'''s Eric McCormack does sex farce every week on TV; now he wants to bring it to the big screen. Variety reports that Disney has signed him to star in ''What You Wish For,'' in which he will also make his screenwriting and directing debut. He describes it as a comedy about ''a normal, married Midwestern couple whose marriage is turned upside-down because of a celebrity sex fantasy.''
The idea for ''What You Wish For'' (as in ''Be careful...'') came from McCormack's wife, assistant director Janet Holden. ''The idea is, no matter how happy a person is with his partner, there's that one hot actress or athlete you'd allow them to sleep with because you know it would never happen,'' McCormack tells Variety. ''Here, it happens.''
McCormack expects to shoot the film next summer, during his hiatus from ''Will & Grace.'' No word on who his and Holden's celebrity sex fantasies are; let's hope hers is Eric McCormack.

Perfumery, Distillation, and Faves–it's all Here
Have you been pouring over your new issue of the Saponifier? I have.
Thanks to those who participated in the Raves for Faves survey (by Beth Byrne) by taking the time to vote honestly and carefully. How did your favorites match up to those that placed? Were you surprised at the outcome? Of course, we all know that many amazing companies serve our industry; still, it was fun choosing the top three in each category.
It was interesting, also, to see how much or how little popular scents and products change over the years. How does your product line compare? Do you find your customers enjoying new products and scents or do they stick with the tried-and-true?
Reading, A Day in the Life of a Natural Perfumer (Marla Bosworth) gave me a new respect for perfumers, as well. Although I do enjoy blending scents fairly frequently, Sharna Ethier's knowledge and how she puts it to work was fascinating to me. I also found it remarkable how young she discovered that she had a keen nose for scent. Including the recipes was icing on the cake! Do you see yourself as a budding perfumer?
The Art of Distillation: From History Directly to Your Backyard, by Cindy Noble, was one that I was looking forward to reading. I don't think my life will be complete until I have my own distillation unit! What about you? Knowing more about the ancients and their love of distilled herbs and other materials was compelling, as was the information gleaned from Copper-Alembic, which manufactures these beautiful devices.
I hope I haven't given anything away that would spoil your reading, but I did want to whet your appetite if you haven't had a chance to sit down with it yet. You'll be glad you did!
Until next time, Bubblingly Yours,

You can use silicone, dap silicone (goes on white cures clear) or mac glue. silicone is a little cloudy when it cures. also Lexel-a crystal clear silicone. If you place you pieces close enough you dont need to grout-totally up to you |
I used GE Silicone II Clear, the one for doors and windows, just make sure it's clear. |

SECULARIZATION Dec-10-2007 (880 words) xxxn
Modernity does not mean religion inevitably retreats, say panelists
By Beth Griffin
Catholic News Service
NEW YORK (CNS) -- Modern life does not inevitably entail the retreat of religion from the public forum, concluded participants in a Dec. 5 Fordham University panel discussion on the myths and realities of secularization.
Those who equate modernization with secularization oversimplify the argument and fail to distinguish between social theory and actual examples found in diverse countries around the world, they said.
The discussion between Peter Steinfels, co-director of the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture, and Jose Casanova, professor of sociology at New School University in New York, drew an audience of 200 people to the Lincoln Center campus of the Jesuit-run university. It was co-sponsored by the department of sociology and anthropology and the religion and culture center.
Secularization, which once referred to the movement of priests from monasteries to parishes, is now generally understood as a society's movement away from religious influence as its primary guiding force.
Steinfels said the discussion of secularization engages many people, some of whom fearfully equate it with a loss of religion and heritage. Casanova said one could argue the world is growing both more secular and more religious.
"The emergence (mostly in Europe) of secular institutions not controlled by the church has been accompanied by religious decline, (but) everywhere, as societies become more modern," he said, "religion becomes a more active part of politics."
Casanova said the United States is "an almost ideal model of the separation, without conflict, of the national political and religious communities. The U.S. is out in front (of other countries) in differentiating between religion and the sphere of the state."
He made a distinction between the separation of church and state and the separation of religion and politics, saying, "American politics has always been moved by and intertwined with religious movements."
The speakers agreed that secularization and modernization might be inseparable, but not causal.
"China was secular before being modern," said Casanova. "East Germany is probably the most secular society, with 51 percent claiming to be atheists, but clearly East Germany is not more secular because it is more modern."
Modernization cannot explain why countries with similar histories have different degrees of secularization, said Casanova. As examples, he cited Poland and Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland and Holland.
There is a difference between religious practice in the United States and in Europe, said Casanova. "Americans believe that they ought to be religious and they feel guilty for not being more so. It's the opposite in Europe," he said.
"America is not immune to secularization," said Casanova. "Ninety-five percent of the population in the U.S. claims a belief in God. There is a growth, from 8 to 14 percent, in the number of people who claim no religion at all."
Steinfels described a theory used to explain the persistence of religiosity in American society and its decline in Europe.
"It's an economic approach, where there's a potential steady demand for religion" in both places, he said, but "the difference is on the supply side. In a free market of competitive religious bodies, the Americans have been able to be more innovative."
Such creativity is not possible in European countries where there is a state religion, he said.
Casanova said secularization and toleration are not causal. "Both the communists and the Nazis were very secular, but neither was very tolerant," he said. "And the genocides of the 20th century had nothing to do with religion -- they were totally secular."
He said he once thought secularization was a condition of democracy. "Not anymore. You cannot have democracy without the free exercise of religion."
In Europe, an established state religion might be largely meaningless to the people who live there, said Casanova, but "the growing presence of Muslims in Europe is forcing Christians to reflect on their Christian identity."
Casanova said, "Pluralism is a fundamental fact of modern societies. Plural groups reinforce the identity of the individual group. Immigrants, in retaining their religion, can voluntarily and reflectively build and strengthen religious identity of the group and its individual members."
He said "the current discourse on Islam is similar to the discourse on Catholicism from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, (when critics said,) 'Catholicism is premodern and unenlightened. It's a transnational religion and people will be loyal to their religious leaders, so (they) can't be real American citizens. It indulges in barbaric customs.'"
In response to a question from the audience, Casanova said Mormonism could be considered "the American religion par excellence, because it had humble beginnings, the members were persecuted and they have successfully expanded around the world."
The movement of thirtysomethings away from organized religion in the United States has to be taken seriously, said Casanova, and ties in with a "spirituality where people describe themselves as spiritual, not religious."
Steinfels said "a significant factor is the prolongation of the time between finishing secondary school and getting married and starting a family," which are traditional times for a return to the practice of religion.
Pope Benedict XVI has decried the secularization of Europe. Speaking about the prospect for a religious revival there, Casanova said, "People will be open to a revival only when they challenge the implicit assumption that to be modern means to be secular."

Introduction to Default Methods (Defender Methods) in Java 8
We all know that interfaces in Java contain only method declarations and no implementations and any non-abstract class implementing the interface had to provide the implementation. Lets look at an example:
public interface SimpleInterface { public void doSomeWork(); } class SimpleInterfaceImpl implements SimpleInterface{ @Override public void doSomeWork() { System.out.println("Do Some Work implementation in the class"); } public static void main(String[] args) { SimpleInterfaceImpl simpObj = new SimpleInterfaceImpl(); simpObj.doSomeWork(); } }
Now what if I add a new method in the SimpleInterface?
public interface SimpleInterface { public void doSomeWork(); public void doSomeOtherWork(); }
and if we try to compile the code we end up with:
$javac .\SimpleInterface.java .\SimpleInterface.java:18: error: SimpleInterfaceImpl is not abstract and does not override abstract method doSomeOtherWork() in SimpleInterface class SimpleInterfaceImpl implements SimpleInterface{ ^ 1 error
And this limitation makes it almost impossible to extend/improve the existing interfaces and APIs. The same challenge was faced while enhancing the Collections API in Java 8 to support lambda expressions in the API. To overcome this limitation a new concept is introduced in Java 8 called default methods which is also referred to as Defender Methods or Virtual extension methods.
Default methods are those methods which have some default implementation and helps in evolving the interfaces without breaking the existing code. Lets look at an example:
public interface SimpleInterface { public void doSomeWork(); //A default method in the interface created using "default" keyword default public void doSomeOtherWork(){ System.out.println("DoSomeOtherWork implementation in the interface"); } } class SimpleInterfaceImpl implements SimpleInterface{ @Override public void doSomeWork() { System.out.println("Do Some Work implementation in the class"); } /* * Not required to override to provide an implementation * for doSomeOtherWork. */ public static void main(String[] args) { SimpleInterfaceImpl simpObj = new SimpleInterfaceImpl(); simpObj.doSomeWork(); simpObj.doSomeOtherWork(); } }
and the output is:
Do Some Work implementation in the class DoSomeOtherWork implementation in the interface
This is a very brief introduction to default methods. One can read in depth about default methods here.
There was a concern about a class implementing 2 interfaces with each interface declaring a default method with the same name. In such cases the compiler would flag it as an error. Let me explain it with an example:
public interface InterfaceWithDefaultMethod { public void someMethod(); default public void someOtherMethod(){ System.out.println("Default method implementation in the interface"); } } public interface InterfaceWithAnotherDefMethod { default public void someOtherMethod(){ System.out.println("Default method implementation in the interface"); } }
And then a class implementing both the above interfaces.
public class DefaultMethodSample implements InterfaceWithDefaultMethod, InterfaceWithAnotherDefMethod{ @Override public void someMethod(){ System.out.println("Some method implementation in the class"); } public static void main(String[] args) { DefaultMethodSample def1 = new DefaultMethodSample(); def1.someMethod(); def1.someOtherMethod(); } }
but this results in a compiler error as shown in the screenshot below and this way it avoids the confusion of which default method implementation to invoke.

ahmet alp balkan says:
Hi Mohamed, so with this change, how interfaces are different than abstract classes?
Mohamed Sanaulla says:
The difference between interfaces and abstract classes still are the same as they were in pre Java 8. Just that now interfaces can also contain implementations. And a class can implement multiple interfaces.
Milan says:
Hi Mohamend,
the rule for interfaces tells us that there is no method implementation allowed inside of interface declaration. It means that the rule is broken.-
Mohamed Sanaulla says:
You are right. With the new Java 8 the interfaces are allowed to provide default implementation for the method. But the Java team recommend to provide method implementation in an other class and then invoke that method from the interface. That way the implementation will be in another class but the interface will just have method invocation.
[...] fixes this problem by allowing interface methods to have default implementations (sometimes called "defenders"), which can be overridden by derived classes but [...]
Eumaho Heraldo says:
yes, let's add more garbage to an already bloated language!
Interfaces must never contain any implementations !!!!Slowly, the Java language becomes a monster.
Ike Love says:
Thanks for your *great* insight there, very *helpful*! Putting default implementations on interfaces allows Java to support multiple inheritance. Google what it brings to the table, instead of trolling useful posts.
LoicAG says:
Nit-picking here… When you do:
SimpleInterfaceImpl simpObj = new SimpleInterfaceImpl();
doesn't that defeat the purpose of having an interface? I'm not a Java expert, but I would have declared the object as such:
SimpleInterface simpObj = new SimpleInterfaceImpl();
although I guess it depends on what you intend to do with that object afterwards? -
saurav says:
Whoa these days lots of buzz is going on default methods , once java 8 is officially release it i am sure that most of the applications will definitely going to use it.
The reason why i think till now there was always a constraint that if we want to introduce some new method (prior to java 8) in an interface ,then it can break the whole application as all the implementation will be forced to provide an implementation for that ,so in that case we try to solve this problem by introducing a new interface to include that new method and i think here we violate the Single Responsibility Model (as its not stated anywhere).
Again I personally feel that Abstract classes have their own cost of using them in terms of multiple inheritance and I also feel that Default methods and abstract classes have there own place in Java and they can't replace each other.
One more thing I found an interesting interesting article on Default methods here, it is little bit on the sarcastic side but a worth reading.

Dickstein Real Estate Services

Tel : 908-704-3500 X11
What We Do |
Preplanning and Programming: Before a customer can begin to evaluate his or her space options in the real world, it is necessary to perform an analysis of present and future space needs and trends. A program will present the most efficient space utilization patterns derived from surveys of department managers, utilizing agreed upon company design standards for equipment, furniture and specialty needs for each level of employee. This analysis will be translated into models of square footage and likely growth scenarios. These studies are most useful to demonstrate various options showing how the greatest efficiencies in space utilizations are achieved. Understanding space needs today, with projections into the future that have some degree of certainty, will lead to more accurate operation cost budgeting.
Site Search- Dickstein Real Estate Services has a complete database of all of the available commercial space in Central and Northern New Jersey. We subscribe to CoStar, the preeminent listing service for all commercial real estate in major cities across the US as our chief database of listed properties. CoStar tracks over 25,000 office and 55,000 industrial properties monthly monitoring more than 400 million square feet of offices and 1 billion square feet of industrial properties in the Central and Northern New Jersey markets. Besides being able to search for available space options, Dickstein Real Estate Services has experience negotiating in the multiple Cities, Towns and Counties throughout New Jersey. Lease and Purchase Negotiations- One of Dickstein Real Estate Services greatest strengths is our unique ability to break down the complexities of lease terminology and purchase agreements, presenting them to you in plain language, so that the terms of a transaction may be understood by everyone in the decision making process. We work closely with you to define the business objectives, identifying the dollars and cents issues. In our approach to negotiating, we will show you where we believe results are most likely to be achieved and describe the path to achieving those results. Our negotiating strategy stems from our understanding how the game is played, something derived from 30 years of experience, so that surprises are held to a minimum and results are achieved for a successful long term relationship with the landlord. Our philosophy to achieving this stems from our belief that each transaction must be beneficial for both parties in order to insure its long term success. For this reason, we approach each transaction by trying to relate to the human factor in negotiations while staying constantly attentive to the details and business terms to be translated into lease language. We work well with real estate attorneys who understand the key business points that have been achieved in the negotiations. Those who understand that it is their chief task to protect their clients by preserving those hard fought business objectives.
Lease Renewals and Extensions- Negotiating an effective lease renewal or lease extension agreement is obtained by incentivizing the Landlord to compete to keep your tenancy in the same manner that he did when securing your initial tenancy. Landlords in today's world have a large financial incentive to keep a tenant in place as they have no downtime in marketing the space and little build-out work required, in many cases just new carpet and paint. |

A year ago, two major events happened in the world of comics -– it was dubbed The 10 Days That Shook the World. On August 29, 2009 it was announced that Marvel was being acquired by Disney. A few short days later on September 9, DC Comics became DC Entertainment. It was also announced that Paul Levitz -– who had been at DC for some 37 years — would be stepping down. The world held its breath to see what would happen next. There were big changes brewing at the big two. How would Disney and Warner Bros. change the face of comic book publishing as we know it?

Birds have inspired artists throughout time. That relationship is celebrated in "Avian Spirits" at Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods, July 13-Aug. 31. Franck Mercurio curated the exhibit which features works by 14 artists
"Each year, Brushwood Center has a programming theme," Mercurio reported. "This year's theme was 'Extinction/Survival.' The show that I curated in March was called 'Facing Extinction.' For the summer show, I'm doing the flip side of the coin — the survival side. I wanted the show to be much more whimsical, much more fun. I was looking for artists who take a more conceptual approach."
Mercurio cited the example of the birds created by artist Molly Cranch. "You can look at them and know exactly what species they are," he said. "But there's some sort of anthropomorphic quality to them and the idea of nesting pops up over and over again."
He chose artists "who used bird imagery as metaphors for some aspects of the human spirit," Mercurio explained. There are more than 40 pieces in the show, including three outdoor installations.
One of those outdoor installations, commissioned specifically for this show, is by DOEprojekts, the name used by Deborah and Glenn Doering for their joint pieces.
"They will essentially be drawing on the lawn four different symbols that represent four different ways that birds are able to navigate when they're migrating," Mercurio said. "One has to do with the magnetic pull of the earth. One has to do with visual landmarks. One has to do with smells." The fourth is related to the sun.
"The interesting thing," Mercurio noted, "is that each one of these looks like a stylized 'H,' a stylized 'O,' a stylized 'M,' a stylized 'E,' so that it will spell out 'Home.'"
Artist Annette Barbier of Glenview is also creating an installation.
"My work has been centrally about the natural world and a lot of it has been about birds in the past five years or so," said Barbier, who had a solo show at Brushwood Center in November and had work in the March "Facing Extinction" show.
For the piece, which hadn't been assembled at press time, Barbier is using decoys of Canada geese, arranged in a circle with their rear ends sticking up, reminiscent of a sculpture in front of the Park Center in Glenview that shows children playing in a circle. "This is sort of a tongue-in-cheek representation of that," she said.
The piece also references the Ant Farm Cadillac Ranch piece in Texas, in which ten Cadillacs are installed nose down.
The artist chose Canada geese because, "They are ubiquitous. You can't find a place that doesn't have them and doesn't have their poop all over the place."
Barbier has done a number of pieces about Canada geese and discovered, "The reason that they're so numerous is because they were hunted almost to extinction in the middle of the last century. And then, in the '50s, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided that they wanted to replenish their numbers but they didn't take into account their migration patterns. They reinstated them around the Midwest and Northeast. Now they don't know how to migrate."
Other artists represented in the exhibit are Sarah Belknap and Joseph Belknap, Cosmo Campoli, Helen Maurene Cooper, Julia Kemerer, Barbara Koenen, Marlene McCauley, Julie Meridian, Steph Roberts and Dan Streeting.
Mercurio was especially pleased to be able to include some original drawings by Campoli, the only nonliving artist in the show. "They're kind of cartoony, they're kind of whimsical. I don't think they've ever been shown before in public. They're fun and I think people will really relate to them."

Is there a type of thread that is universal?
I am not sure if my machine was threaded incorrectly, or if it was the thread. The material is a very light cotton (its actually weird, almost paper like) and I was using polyester thread the bottom thread was loops! I put in my all purpose and all was fine. |

Banning fats from your diet in a quest to whittle that waist? Your skin won't thank you. Healthy bodies need healthy fats—and healthy skin needs essential fatty acids.
Natural skin care with essential fatty acids
They're called essential fatty acids (EFA) for a reason—your body needs them! And it doesn't make EFAs on its own; you only get them from the foods you eat.
Key elements in a natural skin care diet, essential fatty acids like omega-3s and omega-6s are the building blocks of healthy cell membranes. These polyunsaturated fats also help produce the skin's natural oil barrier, critical in keeping skin hydrated, plumper, and younger-looking.
If you're not getting enough EFAs in your diet, your skin may be dry, inflamed, and prone to whiteheads and blackheads. Yet there's more to essential fatty acids than plumper skin.
Essential fatty acids: skin care and body booster
EFAs can be real skin care powerhouses. Research suggests that they may not only reduce sun sensitivity in those with photodermatitis, they may also diminish the inflammation associated with acne. Other studies found that psoriasis treatment that included medication and EFA supplementation was more successful than treatment with medication alone.

1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, David's son, king of Israel. | 1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: |
2 The purpose of these proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, and to help them understand wise sayings. | 2 for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; |
3 Through these proverbs, people will receive instruction in discipline, good conduct, and doing what is right, just, and fair. | 3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; |
4 These proverbs will make the simpleminded clever. They will give knowledge and purpose to young people. | 4 for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young-- |
5 Let those who are wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. And let those who understand receive guidance | 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance-- |
6 by exploring the depth of meaning in these proverbs, parables, wise sayings, and riddles. | 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. |
7 Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline. | 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. |
8 Listen, my child, to what your father teaches you. Don't neglect your mother's teaching. | 8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. |
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace and clothe you with honor. | 9 They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. |
10 My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! | 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. |
11 They may say, "Come and join us. Let's hide and kill someone! Let's ambush the innocent! | 11 If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul; |
12 Let's swallow them alive as the grave swallows its victims. Though they are in the prime of life, they will go down into the pit of death. | 12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; |
13 And the loot we'll get! We'll fill our houses with all kinds of things! | 13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; |
14 Come on, throw in your lot with us; we'll split our loot with you." | 14 throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"-- |
15 Don't go along with them, my child! Stay far away from their paths. | 15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; |
16 They rush to commit crimes. They hurry to commit murder. | 16 for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood. |
17 When a bird sees a trap being set, it stays away. | 17 How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds! |
18 But not these people! They set an ambush for themselves; they booby-trap their own lives! | 18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves! |
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for gain. It ends up robbing them of life. | 19 Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it. |
20 Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. | 20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; |
21 She calls out to the crowds along the main street, and to those in front of city hall. | 21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: |
22 "You simpletons!" she cries. "How long will you go on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools fight the facts? | 22 "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? |
23 Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you and make you wise. | 23 If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. |
24 "I called you so often, but you didn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. | 24 But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, |
25 You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered. | 25 since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, |
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you -- | 26 I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- |
27 when calamity overcomes you like a storm, when you are engulfed by trouble, and when anguish and distress overwhelm you. | 27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. |
28 "I will not answer when they cry for help. Even though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. | 28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. |
29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD. | 29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD, |
30 They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. | 30 since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, |
31 That is why they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way. They must experience the full terror of the path they have chosen. | 31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. |
32 For they are simpletons who turn away from me -- to death. They are fools, and their own complacency will destroy them. | 32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; |
33 But all who listen to me will live in peace and safety, unafraid of harm." | 33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm." |

10. Journalism is something but it isn't everything. The last eight to ten years has seen dramatic decrease in journalistic resources just as journalism's responsibilities have increased. The retreat and disempowering of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Comptroller of the Currency, Fed bank examiners under Greenspan, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Justice Department, and other key federal agencies, piled more and more responsibilities on the press—responsibilities, I would argue, it did not recognize and was not culturally prepared to shoulder.
There's more, but that's enough for now.

Rain guards? Hardly. Chimney caps to keep out critters and vermin? |

We have chimney pots. They do make rain guards for them but we don't have them. What do your chimney caps look like? I have understood them to be mainly to keep birds, etc. from coming in . .. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 5:28
A clay or copper "chimney pot" is placed on top of the chimney to inexpensively extend the length of the chimney, and to improve the chimney's draft. Today they are decorative. A "chimney cowl" (also called a cap or shroud) is placed on top of the chimney to prevent birds and squirrels from nesting in the chimney. They often feature a rain guard to keep rain from going down the chimney. A metal wire mesh is often used as a spark arrestor... A "chimney damper" is a metal spring door placed at the top of the chimney with a long metal chain that allows one to open and close the chimney from the fireplace. They each have desirable features but none are "necessary". |
Here is a link that might be useful: chimney tops
Renovaator, I'm not sure why you think chimney potas are any less functional today that they were in the past. They still work very nicely to improve the draft in a marginal chimney at a fraction of the cost of extending the chimney (and look good too). While a rain cap is certainly not essential adding one in our house helped a lot with rainwater coming down the flue in heavy storms and bringing a strong smoke odor into the house. |
I haven't gotten one yet, but we'll be putting copper and mesh guard/cap on top of our new build's chimney soon. I'm not wild about the look, but etched into my memory was the day hat we had a sooty swallow fly around in our den for an hour or so back in the 70's before we finally herded it out the sliding glass doors. Everytime that he touched the walls he left a patch of soot and creosote.... not an experience I'd ever like to repeat! |
- Posted by EngineerChic (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 13:46
Our critter guard has a solid metal roof to it, which keeps out most rain (but not all). Critter guard would be my first choice if you can only afford one (critter guard = chimney cap). Otherwise you'll be dealing with freaked out birds, squirrels, and even possibly raccoons at some point. Usually on the most inconvenient day, too. |

Does something like this work to keep out rain and critters? Does it hinder proper airflow? http://www.copperchimneycaps.net/chimneycapscolonial.aspx |
Those are some elaborate and pricey copper tops. After the odour of rotting ravens trapped in a chimney made a house unlivable until nature took its course, I had subsequent installations wrapped in galvanized mesh. |
