In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather participants in a circle in the storytelling area and show them the story basket. Say something like, "Let's see what's in our story basket this week."
Tell the group the items in the story basket will be placed on this table after the children have passed them around the circle. Take the story-related items from the basket, one at a time, and pass them around. Objects that are fragile, or which should not be passed around for any reason, can be held up for all to see and then placed directly on the table.
Name each object and ask a wondering question about each one, e.g., "Who has seen a full moon? Who has seen a half moon? Has anyone ever seen a banana tree?"
As items come back to you, display them on the table. Remove the sound instrument from the story basket. Tell the children that every time you tell a story, you will first use the instrument to help them get their ears, their minds, and their bodies ready to listen. Invite them to sit comfortably and close their eyes (if they are comfortable doing so). You may tell them that closing their eyes can help them focus just on listening. If someone is unable to close their eyes or sit still, invite them to hold one of the story basket items or an item from the fidget basket. In a calm voice, say:
As you breathe in, feel your body opening up with air. As you breathe out, feel yourself relaxing.
Repeat this once or twice and then say:
When I hit the chime (turn the rain stick over), listen as carefully as you can. See how long you can hear its sound. When you can no longer hear it, open your eyes and you will know it is time for the story to begin.
Sound the chime or other instrument. When the sound has gone, begin telling the story "Why Death Is Like the Banana Tree." Read or tell the story slowly, like a meditation. Use the rain stick again to indicate that the story is over.
Then, ask:
Make sure everyone has an opportunity to experience the items in the basket, whether by sight or touch.
You may wish to make fidget objects available to children who find it difficult to sit still while listening to a story or can focus better with sensory stimulation. Remind children where the fidget basket is before you begin the "centering" part of this activity. (For a full description and guidance, see Session 1, Leader Resource 4.)
Consider using rug squares in the storytelling area. Place them in a semi-circle with the rule "One person per square." This can be very helpful for controlling active bodies.

A Roche is a Roche is a Roche: No performers on earth even faintly resemble The Roches, a New Jersey sister act well-versed in eccentric lyrics and the kind of seamless harmonization only possible among siblings. Ridiculously cute but never cloying, Maggie, Terre and Suzzy will charm your socks off when they appear on public radio's E-Town, taping tonight at 7 at the Boulder Theater, 2030 14th St., Boulder. Actor-turned-singer Ronny Cox, who's been seen on screen in everything from Deliverance to Robocop, also guests; for tickets, $7 in advance ($9 day of show), call the Boulder Theater box office at 786-7030.
Monday June 12 Psychotic reactions: A bona fide star will be in our midst tonight when Janet Leigh, whose famous shocker of a Psycho shower scene is imprinted forever in moviegoers' nightmares, stops at the Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th St., to autograph copies of her book Psycho: Behind the Scenes of the Classic Thriller. Leigh will discuss the memoir and its people--including the fearsome and larger-than-life film director Alfred Hitchcock--at 7:30; get your number for a place in line at 6:30. For information call 436-1070.
Tuesday June 13 Top of the Pops: The book may never close completely on artist, filmmaker, cultural pied piper and all-around Manhattan character Andy Warhol, whose legacy of brightly colored soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits married commercial and fine art in a blatantly controversial yet influential way. But wherever you stand on the pop icon's contributions, Works by Warhol: Cowboys, Indians and More, a new show of silkscreen prints and other works at the Longmont Museum, 375 Kimbark St., Longmont, is worth a gander. Images in the Cowboys and Indians Series range from John Wayne to Geronimo and will cohabit in the gallery with lurid portraits of Mick Jagger and Mickey Mouse, as well as a Warholian take on Buzz Aldrin's moonwalk. A reception (admission to which is a can of soup) will be held next Friday evening, but the exhibit opens today and can be seen through July 22. In addition, related "Pop Goes the Easel" summer arts programs begin June 19, and a lecture by Warhol scholar John Powers will be given on June 29. Call 572-1719, ext. 8374, for information or to register for events.

151 Coombs to Chifley
Memorandum [CANBERRA], 11 February 1947
In accordance with your request I discussed this question with Mr Nash on Friday last. [1] Mr McFarlane has probably reported the substance of the discussion to you, but it may be of interest to you to have my summary of the conclusions we reached which were briefly:-
(1) Neither Australia nor New Zealand has a sufficiently large accumulation of sterling balances to be confident of convincing Parliament that they were in a position without risk of subsequent difficulty to write off any significant proportion of their present balances;
(2) At the same time it is clear that the United Kingdom had borne a disproportionately heavy part of the burden associated with the conduct of the war and that both Australia and New Zealand could reasonably make a contribution to the solution of the United Kingdom international difficulties on this score;
(3) The benefit to be derived by the United Kingdom from such a contribution would be predominantly psychological in that it would be an expression of confidence in the future of sterling and possibly an example to other countries such as India with substantially larger holdings of sterling balances;
(4) It would not, however, remove the necessity for the United Kingdom to limit the rate at which we and other holders of sterling could be permitted to draw on those accumulations for the purchase of imports. The fact that the assistance given was in the form of a contribution to the cost of the war rather than in the form of a writing down of sterling balances need not preclude an understanding between the governments concerned that, if in the future our sterling balances declined to embarrassingly low levels, we could expect assistance from the United Kingdom Government;
(5) Relatively the New Zealand sterling balance position is somewhat stronger than that of Australia, although, with a proportionately higher import and debt commitment, the discrepancy was perhaps less than the figures themselves would indicate. In the circumstances a contribution by Australia and New Zealand of 25 million and 15 million respectively would appear to be reasonable.
General Comment Sterling balances are not strong enough for me to recommend that we could afford to offer the United Kingdom this assistance without difficulty to ourselves in any circumstance. Some risk is involved. Whether this risk should be accepted is essentially a political decision. If it is desired to offer the assistance, I recommend that it should be in the form of a contribution towards the United Kingdom costs of the war, and I believe that a contribution of 25 million would involve risks of a relatively modest character. [2]

Speed Queen Clothes Washer Water Level Problem And How To Fix It
What do you think about this video?
alitak: Hi Shannon, I did this video, you can post on here if you want a reply. I
don't work for speed queen, I am a consumer. I don't recommend any
particular model, I only like these because they are top load and have old
school steel transmissions. The new ones are direct drive and unreliable.
I hate front loaders. I wash some nasty dog blankets, etc, and trust me 5
gallons of water or whatever they use will not clean off that garbage. It
takes some volume to get that garbage out. The speed queens just work,
mine only broke down when our 10 year old at the time got some socks
between the drum and it got sucked into the water pump. Speed queen has
TERRIBLE customer service. I was out of a washer for 3 weeks with 2 small
kids laundry to handle. It was a nightmare. I hope they can resolve that,
I love their product, hate their complete lack of service. Note, I live in
a town with 150k people, you'd think they'd have some service people nearby
but the wait was loooooong and they all wanted money to look at my brand
new washer. Rivergull: Why do you have to take the header off? I just watched another SQ youtube video (by either Ted Walker or Rocking Dustpan) where, to add more water to the tub, you just twist one of the knobs (holding it in place until the water reaches the level you want). Does your model not have that? Mary Carpenter: Alitak: Do you know how to do this for the 2014 front loader (AFN50R)? We took the top off and it looks nothing like your top loader inside--just a lot of wires. If you can help, we would be grateful. It's the only drawback to my machine. Thanks! brooke127: Thank you for this hack vid-I might try it. Someone posted a link to this vid on the official Speed Queen Facebook page & the person handling the SQ FB page replied w/this: "For most of your loads, the Extra Large water level will cover your clothes. If you find that it does not, and you need more water - you simply turn the Load Size knob to RESET. While you are holding it on RESET, the water comes in until you let go, putting you in control of the water level. The procedure shown on youtube is not necessary." Charles Wright: Great tip thnx. I just turned mine 1 1/2 turns and was good to go wheelruts: Hi again alitak. Asked you this on your rinse temp modification vid but doing so again here in case anyone else knows since are a lot of comments here. Do you or anyone here know how to get a service manual for this AWN/AWC series machine. Can only find user manual. Thanks Tom Carmichael: For wheelruts, i do not have a washer manual sorry. I'm not a speed queen certified repairman, I'm just a technically inclined person. ;-) drew251: thank you very much for this video!!! I just got my new machine delivered today and hubby fixed my water level right away. :-) Martina Marty: oh my God all day today I was online trying to fine an awn432s to replace this crap whirlpool caprio that has balance issues with a bad suspension system. could have replaced the shocks for 60 dollars cost of parts only, who know how much labor would have been, however. I do not like the lock on the lid, I do not like how it wont clean clothes. I hate Caprio machine. Do not buy one. Excited to get my machine I ordered today from Amazon yes its high in cost but I am looking down the road to me not being agitated and its worth every dime...plus a 3 year warranty..yeah I know...but just hedging my bet with this one...I did have sticker shock. Thank you for telling me about the manual fill adjustment. Shannon Damschen: Hi... this looks like a great machine... who did this video... how do I reach you ... by email or phone? Which model of the SQ is best? Shannon Karageorge: Do we have to adjust it every time to get the water to fill to top or can I just leave it that way after doing it once? Thanks so much for this very helpful video!! Candice Myers: Thank you! I just got a new speed queen and was so frustrated with the water level, I knew there had to be some sort of hack to make it fill properly, with 5 kids and a lot of laundry this just made my day! Ra's al Ghul: i just love video like this. this approach works for my whirlpool, too. before I adjusted the screw, the water level is filled up only a little over 1/2 of the tub.. very annoying..after watching this video, i went to work and got that crap adjusted. the water is filled up to all the way to the damn top!!! so easy. i just dont u/s why the damn gov or epa or whoever, imposed the water level regulation, making all of the manufacturers to restrict the water level. stupid crap..but anyway. thanks a million for the video. prw139: @alitak, you seem to know what to do with this washing machine. Great troubleshooting! I would probably be in an empty thought balloon with this matter.. My question is, overall, how would you rate the speed queen washers now? The more recent models? I'm planning on getting one.. What would be your advise? Thank you very much. Tim S: Speed Queen w/d's are by far the best built on the market! Buy a set before 2015 when more government regulations kick-in & Alliance Laundry is forced to change these great machines! pegsbored: Hurray for manual fill knobs! Hurray for manual everything! It lasts longer. I just hold the fill level indicator until it gets to where I need if I have a large load. Or, just fill the washer before adding the comforter. Damn good washing machine. My front loader was horrible and did not clean anything! Glad it died! Glad I went American made and simple. 7732528: the hole they are speaking of is in the inlet valve where the hoses go on , not the filler flume : ) Ray Anthony: Cont'd. I had to watch the machine so it wouldn't flood. Now I had to watch the machine to add water so it wouldn't tear up, tangle, and not get the clothes clean. That's why I sent back the GE "h e" (hell on earth) machine I got before the Speed Queen. NOW I've done my homework and the 432 machine is amazing. No electronics. No plastic outer tub. No plastic parts in the drive and stability system. Built like a tank. Its the last of its kind. Get one of these before its too late. Research an umajunkcollector: We got our set for a bit over 1K$, and have had them over three years with NO problems. I'vr had many Speed Queens since the 60s, and highly recommend them over any others. .They're pretty much old school, it does not lock durng the cycle. It's cost is less than most any front loader, and IMO, it does a better job. Ray Anthony: Cont'd. I think you'll enjoy the irony in this: I had to replace my washer in part because the fill valves wouldn't shut off. I had to watch the machine so it wouldn't flood. Now I had to watch the machine to add water so it wouldn't tear up, tangle, and not get the clothes clean. That's why I sent back the GE "h e" (hell on earth) machine I got before the Speed Queen. NOW I've done my homework and the 432 machine is amazing. No electronics. No plastic outer tub. No plastic parts in the dri Ray Anthony: That line didn't make any sense. I laughed and laughed. Just wanted to make sure people knew there was a way to add water without buckets or tearing apart your washer. That information will come in handy for people who do giant load after giant load. For me having to add water to an oversize load now and then isn't that big of a deal. I think you'll enjoy the irony in this: I had to replace my washer in part because the fill valves wouldn't shut off. I had to watch the machine so it wouldn't 7732528: most repairmen would never notice & the ones that did would not care because they know that adjustment will not cause any other part to fail. the only trouble i ever see out of speed queens is every once in a while a timer will fail, but the timer is one of the few parts on the washer made in another country ! with that said they are still the best washer on the market today. alitak: I don't believe in having it wash with the lid open. I've heard of kids being killed by getting their arm stuck in there on a spin cycle. NOT WORTH IT! If someone is hurt or killed by that washer due to your modification you would likely be held legally responsible in civil court and subject to a huge loss. I truly hope you fix that before selling it someday. That is an easy hack but not one I would ever put out there in interest of child safety. :-) sawthemin77: Wow dude , God bless you , or God bless Youtube , or God bless the internet , but this is just great information . We are getting a SQ this week , we just do light stuff but it is great to have the "tweek" Keep up the good work !! NCDanV: Nice video. Do you know how much the AWN412 costs? Am I able to add clothes to the unit once it is started? Some new machines lock. I hate that. Thanks. for the video. alitak: GOOD TO KNOW! I see they are watching my videos then. lol!! It's a great washer, I hope they leave it so we can fix these problems. I'll buy another brand if I can't keep my adjustable temperature wash or full wash basin. inhisimage67: So far I have been well pleased with this washer. It washes like an old Maytag with the sloshing and rocking back and forth of the water. After having DD whirlpools and kenmores and a Maytag bravos x, this washer is a breath of fresh air. No wash action like an Osterizer blender. Just a soothing rhythmic sound like an old whirlpool or maytag. May you all have many years out of your machines. keyzone72: This procedure worked for me, but I never heard the "click" described at 2:08. All I did was turn the screw clock-wise a few turns enough to make the white plastic drum go in a little more. After about 3 test fill-ups, I'm now able to select "Extra Large" on the water level setting and have the SQ fill up right where I want it. This is at about 3/4 of an inch below the top edge of the wash bin. Thanks again for posting this video. It was very helpful and easy to follow. 7732528: ahh ! gotcha ! Linda Christopher: I agree about the washer... especially NOW that I can fill it to the top! I'm thinking of buying the matching dryer too. Thomas Campbell: If you really want to be cool you should also get the world's best washing machine hoses from Flood Check and a Water Cop device to turn off the water if your washing machine or anything else tries to flood your place. My old washing machine got stuck on the fill cycle and caused over $20,000 in water damage! alitak: btw, I don't sell or repair these. I'm handy and know how I want my stuff to work. I don't make recommendations on washers, cleaning, etc. The speedqueen is one of the last models to use the old school transmission and real components. The new ones are all direct drive fall apart crap. So far I'm pretty happy with the speedqueen reliability. I have renters that pack a lot of crap in these and don't take care of them. They still do a great job. This is the best self balancing top load. Linda Christopher: I couldn't agree more! I just wish there was something we could do about it. But what? Calling our Congressmen or voting them out won't help, because it's regulations, not laws, that are causing all of these problems.... I wish we could abolish the EPA. I'm all for protecting the environment, but they've gone so far overboard, it's ridiculous! goblin072: I have a AWN 432. How many turns (Clockwise) did it take to get the water level right? ie. 1/2 turn or 1 turn etc..... Also why back it off at all if its set right? That part did not make sense to me. Could you clarify? yogitunes: these govt regulated SQ have dubbed down hot water, which means you get a luke Warm wash when WARM is selected......30%HOT and 70% COLD.....another simple fix, provided you have common sense and some mechanical experience, you can drill out the HOT side of the water valve to equal the COLD side and have a true WARM wash........takes only minutes to do, just don't drill completely thru the valve, like I said, common sense!..........sorry, got his name wrong for Customer Rep of SQ....Chuck Melton alitak: I don't know but my old speed queen washer went to the top holes and that is exactly where I set mine. I have not had any problems with water spilling. inhisimage67: Funny, I have to check mine again. I think I mine had that adhesive too. I still turned it though and it worked just fine. 7732528: lol ! 7732528: just don't tell anyone ! and as alitak said if a repairman is that stupid find another repairman! i am a speedqueen dealer and i am doing what i have to do to make these machines work as they should. as far as i know they are very few washers that this can be done on . cheap whirlpool made ones can but it is not this simple and you loose some features. on the speed queen turn the screw 2 1/2 turns clockwise. any good repairman would look the other way if they noticed this modification apctech1: you cant do this on a ge they use a plastic switch thats not ajustable like youres is:) alitak: @fttp211 If it's a speed queen just fix it with this method. It's a solid washing machine, I have two of them working great. This modification is really easy to do, just watch it for a couple fills to be sure you didn't over do the fill level. I have had zero problems with mine since adjusting this. alitak: That's interesting, never thought of using a slip for it. I saw a news story where a child had their arm ripped off putting their arm in one of these on spin cycle. Even if you don't have kids you may have some visit someday out of the blue. I've already found muddy shoe prints in my dryer so I have no confidence in defeating safety settings like that because I know it would be a matter of time in my house. ;-) alitak: I want to do that on my washer but our sewer line is iron and has poor drainage. The restricted drain on ours is actually a good thing, our last washer would flood the room but with this limited outflow it's perfect. I would definitely do that if we had good drainage!! alitak: The water level adjustment is a work in motion, it's not x turns, but rather turn it until the water level is where it needs to be. This will take a few times of turning the screw, plugging it in and testing where it shuts off. I turned mine until it was full, then backed it off a half turn to be sure it didn't over-fill and just start dumping on the floor. 7732528: it is just a little thread locker it will still break loose. turn it two rounds to the right rebecca73064: After so many minutes the water will turn off in your shower so hurry up and get out, followed by how fast to do your dishes and so on, LOL...It is just crazy. My daughter takes a shower long enough to fill up ten washing machine full. Where will it all end? alitak: No, and I think those are electric/non adjustable if I'm not mistaken. Sharkie626: I dont ever see Speed Queen getting rid of their adjustable water level pressure switches. Hell, maybe they just keep them like that to get away with their "new" energy water levels :D alitak: I'm glad to see other people are finding this useful! Thanks for the feedback. 7732528: all we are doing is setting it to the same point they were 3 years ago before the government takeover of laundry rooms.... by the way a new wave of water regulations will hit in 2015 and this washer will go away and all we will have is the government regulated pieces of junk! write your congressmen and tell them to stay out of your laundryroom ! i just wonder which room they will be in next ?! hmmmmmm ! |

Developer MecurySteam partnered with Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions to deliver a smash hit to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow in October 2010. Nearly three years later the title is finally available on personal computers. Was it worth the wait? That is definitely debatable, but LoS on PC is a better package of the intricate combat, beautiful art, and mind-bending story I experienced in 2010.
I feel like I have to state I don't have much experience with the Castlevania franchise. I own and have played some of the beloved Symphony of the Night but I have never beaten that game. As a real introduction to the Belmonts, I absolutely love Lords of Shadow. I don't believe it is known exactly how much direct input Hideo Kojima had in the game, but the Lords of Shadow story feels like a Kojima story. It isn't full of wink and nods you would expect from Metal Gear but it is full of over the top characters, insane moments, and engrossing stories. What begins as a story of attempting to save Gabriel's murdered wife evolves constantly in this epic Castlevania tale.
MercurySteam has crafted a visual masterpiece of every sense of term relating to gaming. You will see many different environments throughout the over 20 hours you will spend with Gabriel Belmont. From dark forests, to foreboding castles, and even to a small music box, Lords of Shadow is covered in gorgeous unique art. Lords of Shadow is not a visual one trick pony between its gigantic Shadow of the Colossus-esque boss fights, its God of War-esque spanning panoramas, and even eye catching menu design with an absolutely pleasant "quit to desktop" animation.
I felt right at home with the controls of LoS that allow for tight precision but aren't so convoluted to make it not fun. In an era of gaming infected with auto platforming with no real consequences Lords of Shadow reincorporates third person platforming with skill. The combat is certainly reminiscent of other modern third person action games like God of War, Bayonetta, and such with light attacks, heavy attacks, projectiles, throws, smart bombs, and parries. Don't let that turn you off of the game though, with light and shadow modes for every attack LoS has some of the fun complexity of the Devil May Cry series. Many have complained about the games fixed camera, but that was only a problem for me for a few seconds in one of the titan boss fights, generally it worked very well for me.
Although Castlevania Lords of Shadow was originally chastised as being a simple copycat entry to the genre I believe it sits atop of all the third person character action games. A combination of top notch art, snappy gameplay, breathtaking moments and great sound design makes LoS a strong argument in the ongoing "What Should I Play Next" debate we all have. The wait for this game on PC was extremely long, but if you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the game already or if you just want a return trip with Gabriel this game is well worth its humble price tag of thirty dollars with greatly improved loading times and a stellar frame rate that was locked at 60 frames per second for me.. It is worth stating that the games original DLC Reverie and Resurrection are included in this package, but they are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. In a game full of wonderful design the DLC seems to lack all of it, so it might be worth ending your experience with Lords of Shadow at the games natural end. Any piece of entertainment where Patrick Stewart will read to you for over twenty hours is at least worth a serious look at.
This review is based on the PC version of the game.

Other Theme Cruises
Have you ever wanted to be surrounded by people with the same interests as you on a cruise? Chances are there's a
theme cruise
out there that fits your special interests. For instance, sailing on the ETA Motorcycle Cruises promotes camaraderie among motorcycle enthusiasts, and passengers on The Rick Springfield and Friends cruise skip the Calypso music on the Lido deck for tunes that are a little more their style. Maybe rubbing shoulders with your favorite (not to mention dreamy) soap stars while lounging on the by the pool is your idea of a great time. Even golf lovers can brush up on their skills of this land-based sport while enjoying a few days at sea, and wine and chocolate lovers can tailor a cruise to include their favorite treats.
As cruises become ever more mainstream vacation options -- and with passenger counts topping out at 4,000 or so -- voyages with themes, ranging from hobbies to lifestyles, are a way to personalize the experience.
In our roundup, which will change throughout the year as new theme trips are added (and others have completed their sailing), we offer suggestions for just about every type of traveler. And while we've selected a wide range, feel free to let us know if we've missed your favorite by
sending us an e-mail
And before we get started, it's important to say this: There are three different types of special interest or "theme" cruises. First, a primer on the differences:
Theme Cruise
: In its purest form, a theme cruise is something that the
cruise line
creates onboard one of its ships -- and all passengers are entitled to participate. This used to be fairly common when shipboard transportation meant long stretches at sea for ocean crossings. Now, though, with 2,000-plus passengers on most ships, and pleasure cruises with several port stops, it isn't always practical to turn an entire
cruise ship
into a themed cruise. However, annual festivities such as Carnival's NASCAR voyage, Regent Seven Seas' annual Chocolate Cruise and Holland America's jazz festival do appeal to a broad enough audience to warrant cruise line involvement.
Special Interest Cruise:
The most common of the so-called "theme cruises," these are trips in which a special interest group arranges to purchase a number of staterooms in different categories, sets up an itinerary, arranges for special guests or notables, and markets the cruise to people who would be interested in that activity. This could range from scrapbooking to baseball. These groups usually have little impact on the other vacationers onboard although some of the public spaces may be taken over by the group.
Full Ship Charter:
On this type of cruise, the entire ship is organized around the interest-du-jour -- and so everyone participates, to some extent. Among those organizations that are known for full ship charter cruises are Atlantis Events, which organizes
gay and lesbian cruises
, and PartyPoker.com's yearly gaming tourney.
Check back often as we'll be updating this roundup throughout the year.

Lightning Basics
Lightning has occurred on earth much longer than man has been around. Because of this, an aura of mystery and misinformation has evolved that continues to mislead us today. The idea that man can do nothing to prevent or divert a lightning strike is a popular misconception. In most cases, lightning can be safely diverted or better yet prevented from striking. With all the mysticism stripped away, science clearly explains the causes and functioning of lightning. Let's review the current best practices to mitigate lightning damage.
Ben Franklin
The Franklin lightning rod was introduced more than two and a half centuries ago. Franklin was not at first looking to invent a device to capture lightning. He simply wanted to understand electricity in all forms. From his experiments and observations, he wrote a paper titled, On the Sameness of Lightning and Electricity. A friend presented this paper to the Royal Society in London. Their response was laughter and derision. However, within a decade they had to acknowledge that Franklin was right.
Scientists of this era were limited to storing electrical energy in a Leyden jar in the form of high voltage. The source of the voltage was primarily friction between various materials, such as shoe soles and nylon carpet. They soon learned that if the connection to the Leyden jar was in the form of a wire, it soon discharged itself into the surrounding air. To retain the charge, they learned to place a sphere often called a corona ball onto the end of the wire. A sharply pointed wire discharged the energy rapidly while the corona ball retained it. As the sphere became larger and larger in diameter, higher and higher voltages could be retained for longer periods of time.
Franklin observed that electricity actually flowed out into the air in this discharge, which he defined as a silent current. His idea for the lightning rod derived from this observation and his conclusion that that the "electric" in the area would be discharged via one or a few sharply pointed rods. Because the nature of electric current was not yet fully understood, he could not realize that each sharp point is limited to discharging just a small value, typically a few milliamperes. As a result, when the lightning rod industry developed during the 19th century, lightning rods were intended to intercept a strike and then conduct it to ground through a thick wire.
Early streamer
A relatively recent outgrowth of the Franklin rod is the ESE (early streamer emission) device. If a stream of ions is emitted from a sharp, elevated point, an upward streamer will occur in the powerful electric field accompanying a thunderstorm. An upward streamer is the normal means that initiates a lightning strike. In most cases, the streamer is positive in polarity while the cloud bottom is usually negative. When the field voltage is great enough, the upward streamer attaches to a downward negative streamer from the cloud.
Early ESE devices used a small amount of radioactive material to initiate the flow of ions into the air. However, because of concern over the radiation, ESE devices now contain a small, high-voltage source that initiates a stream of ions from a sharp, elevated point. These devices are quite popular in Europe and parts of Asia.
Some scientists have written that their effectiveness is questionable, claiming that the wind associated with most thunderstorms blows the ion stream away faster than it can be generated and flown upward.
Measuring the energy
The third method is predicated on the fact that a lightning strike is not inevitable. To understand it requires a study of the science behind a strike. For many years it was assumed that an average strike releases a massive quantity of energy. However, it has been learned over the last several decades that the quantity of charge (in coulombs) is relatively small. The reason a lightning strike is so damaging is because the energy in the lightning strike is delivered in an extremely short time period.
A coulomb is a unit of charge and may be simply defined as one ampere for one second. A coulomb is also defined as a specific number of electrons, regardless of voltage, current or anything else (approximately 6.24 x 1018> power electrons). Early researchers assumed that a lightning strike must contain thousands of coulombs of charge. Today, instrumentation is available that can measure the voltage and the current of a strike as well as the length of time the strike current flows. These values can vary widely in individual strikes, but the one that is most important is the length of time the strike current flows. A typical strike lasts from about 10 to 50 microseconds; although multiple strikes can occur down the same ionized channel until the charge is depleted.

A dental crown is a covering that fits over your existing tooth to make it look and feel like a normal tooth. Crowns are often placed when a tooth is cracked or has lost its structure so that it can't hold a filling. Your dentist will grind the tooth down to make room for the crown, take an impression of the tooth, fit you with a temporary crown, and later attach a permanent crown that looks like a normal tooth. A dental crown is sometimes called a cap.
American Dental Association answered
Everyone wants a beautiful smile. Listen as Dr. Maria Lopez Howell explains how crowns can help improve the appearance of your teeth and provide additional support to weak or broken teeth.
Kevan Cahow, Dentist, answered
A dental crown is a covering placed over a tooth. Most crowns are placed to repair a broken tooth. However, crowns can also be placed to improve the appearance of a tooth that is poorly shaped or colored. Please refer to the following link which describes in more detail the dental crown process http://twincitiesdental.com/drupal/node/40#Crowns.
Saul Miller, Dentist, answeredA crown is a restoration of a tooth that surrounds the outer surfaces of the tooth, rather than filling a preparation within the tooth. The crown can be made with a variety of materials such as all metal, all porcelain, metal with porcelain on top and metal with composite on top.
The crown serves a functional purpose in that it often provides a more secure restoration than a filling and helps to prevent fracture of a tooth weakened by decay, wear or fracture. Of course, while improving the strength of a tooth, a crown may also greatly improve the appearance. Multiple crowns may often be used to restore not only the individual teeth, but to rehabilitate the patient's occlusion while improving appearance at the same time. -
William M. Litaker, Dentist, answeredA crown is a cap on a tooth. It looks like a cylinder that fits over the tooth after it has been prepared by a dentist. It is used to fix a tooth that has been severely broken or decayed to restore it to the proper shape, size, and color. It can also be used cosmetically to change the shape, size, and color of a tooth.
Jonathan B. Levine, DMD, Dentist, answeredDental crowns are full coverage reinforcement restorations that bring teeth back to their proper look and function. They're longer lasting, but require more aggressive prep work than a veneer (teeth must be reduced by 1.5 mm reduction as opposed to the .5 reduction required for veneers). Although it's always preferable to preserve the structure of a natural tooth, it isn't always feasible. For example, if an old filling has broken down, once the decay is removed, the tooth's biting surface is undermined, so it needs to be supported by either an onlay, which goes over just the tooth's cusps, or a full-coverage crown.
Dr. Benjamin S Fiss DDS, Dentist, answeredA crown is a full coverage restoration that is placed on a tooth to restore cosmetics and function. It is needed when severe breakdown due to fracture or decay in excess of two-thirds of the tooth is present. Crowns are also used to restore teeth that have previously had root canal or endodontic treatment.
Healthwise answered
A crown is a dental appliance that replaces and covers the entire part of a tooth above the gum line. A crown may be made of gold, porcelain, or a combination of other man-made materials.
Crowns are used to:
- Repair teeth that have broken or decayed so much that they can no longer be treated with a filling.
- Improve the appearance of front permanent teeth (incisors) that are properly spaced but are rotated and look crooked.
Crowns may be applied after a root canal treatment to seal the tooth and prevent it from breaking.

5) Ya Ya Farm and OrchardYa Ya Farm
6914 Ute Highway, Longmont
The picturesque Ya Ya Farm and Orchard is over a century old, and today uses organic practices to grow its signature variety of heirloom apples. Until the end of September, you can e-mail the farm in advance to take advantage of the you-pick-it program, which doesn't end at filling your bag with fresh apples -- guests can meet the farm animals, take a hay ride, walk the orchard boundaries, and feast on apple cider donuts, too. You can even press your own cider here.
4) Camelot FarmsVia localfarmsfirst.com
15911 Black Bridge Road, Paonia
Camelot Farms uses natural growing practices for its organic produce. In addition to apples that visitors can pick themselves, Camelot offers fresh herbs and eggs -- and it's just a hop, skip and a jump away from Orchard Valley Farms and Black Bridge Winery, where you can find end-of-season peaches, heirloom balsamic vinegar and Paonia-made wine.
3) Happy Apple FarmHappy Apple Farm
1190 1st Street, Penrose
Due to a late freeze in April and then the drought, Happy Apple Farm lost its apple crop -- but you can still have your pick of fresh Fuji, Gala and Granny Smith apples that the farm shipped in from the Western Slope, and there are plenty of blackberries, raspberries and pumpkins that you can actually pick youself.The on-premise country store boasts fresh-baked apple pies, fresh cider, blackberry cobbler and a vast selection of jams, apple butter and pickled vegetables.

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi there, No experience with that company but we installed the exact same style sink in our laundry room last year. We bought ours from a local "used" restaurant supply outlet that gets it's kitchen items surplus from places that go out of business. We cleaned it up and being stainless steel it's like new. It also had the H/C faucets in place ready to hook up. We ended up paying $150 for it after talking them down from $200. Prices do vary a lot from place to place but during these times there are many on the market. Craigslist can also be a good source. Hope you find a good deal, it's a great double deep sink to have. |

Certified Zumba instructors Donna Bennett and Coleen Avery lead students through cardio and body-sculpting classes that disguise exercise with upbeat music and endorphin-releasing moves. The credentialed duo's Zumba classes fuse Latin and international music with simple dance steps. These moves help students of any fitness level torch calories, which, after cookies and ceilings above halogen lamps, are third on America's list of most often burned things. Zumba Toning classes get their name from the toning sticks that their participants use to bolster the arms, abs, and legs, which they can also do by way of free weights.
Not to be typecast as a Zumba-only fitness outfit, Canandaigua Zumba proffers other classes, such as TurboKick and Muscle Power. After Zumba classes, students can wind down with the Ocean Motion exercise routine, which targets the abdominals and glutes and is set to soothing ocean sounds.

For 56 years, the petrochemical and industrial construction firms in Galveston County have relied on A&A Machine and Fabrication for much of their metal fabrication needs. These days that demand is not just local with customers around the globe.
"A&A is a machining and fabrication facility providing uncommon manufacturing services and problem solving for both new and repaired equipment," President and CEO Alan Hutchins said. "Suffice it to say we do work for all the major petrochemical companies worldwide and locally."
The company and its 82 employees stand out because A&A has a reputation of always being available when customers call.
"When our customers need us — nights, weekends and holidays — we do hard things that nobody wants to do or can do," Hutchins said.
While at the same location in La Marque since its founding, A&A is definitely a global company.
About 30 percent of its work is shipped overseas, including Europe and Saudi Arabia, Hutchins said. About 50 percent of the company's fabrication work is shipped to other parts of Texas or across the nation.
The ability to be available whenever a customer calls and the global presence helped A&A Machine and Fabrication generate about $20.7 million in revenue in 2012.
"A&A stands out because of our ability to perform both machine and fabrication welding for critical components in the petrochemical and power generation industries," Hutchins said. "We are quality people building quality products."

huzzah! made it to 1:14! a new personal record !
one time we were sitting in front of some teenagers who were throwing popcorn at us throughout the whole movie. instead of causing a scene, i stockpiled all the popcorn that hit me, added it to my bag of popcorn, and at the end of the movie stood up before they did, turned around, and dumped the whole bag on their heads.
also who knew that emily dickinson looked like that? not how i pictured her at all
hey, give gabe a break. he's probably really tired from being so angry and wound up about everything. "Look at this picture of a kid holding a flower. So stupid. Flowers are so unoriginal. They're not particularly funny, or cute, and they die in like two days. And i mean, really? A kid holding a flower? The cliche train is in town, hop on folks. You might as well have the kid holding a teddy bear. NAZIS liked flowers, you know. Nazis also had kids."
Monster's Ball: No one gets lowest rated comment and gifs are allowed
the book is 4839010218395092 x worse than the movie.
Scarlett (who narrates) wishes death on her children several times.
SEVERAL TIMES. says "I just wish they were dead." BAM. she also wished death on: her husband, her best friend and her lover.
oh, also, you know how she owned that mill? well in the book, she let the manager of the mill BEAT THE EMPLOYEES TO DEATH. Because they were prisoners so who cares.
and no, you cannot convince me that the slaves "liked slavery" because they are "like children or pets and need to be taken care of."
deadwood *sigh* we just finished the last season of deadwood yesterday. i teared up <—this is not a lie. why did that cancel that showwwwwww
Satan Tries Bieber
i love oodles! i gotz a schnoodle
<—-he's right there see?
true story: i graduated high school with a girl who had 3 (!) children. also i watched a pregnant girl get a glass bottle broken over her head in a fight. also our homecoming queen was pregnant. our school taught sex ed. we also had those fancy babies that had computers in them and cried and whatnot. but sex ed was in 5th grade, and they let you return the baby if it "cried too much." so maybe sex ed + reasonableness is what we really need
remember celia hodes in the first season of weeds and how she kept telling her daughter she was fat? remember how she exchanged her chocolate bars for laxatives? that's like this only that show is make believe and it didn't really happen but this did really happen and someone videotaped it and put it on national television for us all to watch.
*and don't hear
i have started dreaming of the day when i go to a play or a wedding or a FUNERAL and hear at the beginning "please put your cellphones on silent"
1. someone has DIED. they are never coming back and this is your last chance to say goodbye. that being said, please turn down your lady gaga ring tone until after the ceremony.
2. we are no longer at the point where "turn OFF your cellphones" is a reasonable request. we are so addicted to them that people must ask them to simply turn them on silent, because turning them off is absolutely out of the question. much less, oh, i don't know, LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN THE CAR IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A DEAD BODY IN THE ROOM
apologies for the vitriol, but i recently went to a funeral where not only was this request made, but a cellphone WENT OFF DURING THE FUNERAL
whenever i'm around people like this kid (and i was a dance major so ive been around my share of people like this, nocapezio-o) i get completely EXHAUSTED for them. like, you are hooked up to a microphone dude, you don't need to be singing to the rafters every time you talk. we can hear you. and see you, btw, so calm down Gesturedamas. also, people like this kid act like that ALL THE TIME, even when they're not on stage/camera. they're always "on." and i just want to be like "don't you get TIRED? don't you realize no one else is looking at you and even if they were, it's just because you're SO EFFING LOUD that they can't hear their own conversation? don't you see we are at a pub and there are no hollywood producers here to 'discover' you? don't you see that i am wearing sweatpants and therefore could give a shit about myself, much less you?" Uffff. EXHAUSTING.
facetaco doesn't look so good
did you say sledding?
that story is why i loooove the "hide" button
all i remember from that movie is the little girl saying "Mom! Is there something wrong with my poop?" laughs and laughs forever . bc poop.
well gifs dont like me today. this is what i meant to put before my double failure of failingness
that dog is officially invited to be on my bank robbery team. he will be in charge of "the getaway" (am i the only one that daydreams about robbing a bank?)
poor birdie stuck in a basket on the wall watching this lunatic over enunciate
hey, you may laugh, but poor kesha hasn't been invited to a bridal shower for years because she keeps eating the fake wedding dresses.
you have a point.
here, have another biscuit.
also, that dog could be on the side of the arc. it's ears are long enough.

BATON ROUGE, LA — The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced that Burbank Drive, between Nicholson Drive and Burbank Commons Apartments, will be restriped to add a center turn lane.
Work will begin tonight at 8:00 p.m. and finish Monday, November 11, at 6:00 a.m., and will coincide with LSU's Fall Break when traffic volume is low.
The $28,000 restriping project will change the current configuration which consists of two 12-foot lanes in each direction. The new configuration will have a 10-foot outside lane and a 9-foot inside lane on each side with a new 10-foot center turn lane. The additional turn lane will relieve congestion by providing a dedicated turn lane out of the way of through traffic, increasing flow and creating a safer environment by reducing crashes.
One lane of traffic in each direction will remain open at all times during the construction. Drivers should use caution when in the area and pay close attention to work crews and striping changes. Flaggers and message boards will provide drivers with direction during the construction period. Access to businesses, apartments, and parking during construction will not be affected.
For more information, please visit www.dotd.la.gov, email email@example.com, or call DOTD's Customer Service Center at (225) 379-1232 or 1-877-4LADOTD (1-877-452-3683). Business hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Best of Fantastic Fest 2012: Our Favorites of the Festival and The 2012 Death Squad Awards
Fantastic Fest By FSR Staff on October 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's not hard to see that Fantastic Fest has come and gone for another year. If many a film fan could find a way to "wear black" on Twitter, they'd do so in mourning of the end of another great year of hardcore geekery. It was a diverse year for the Fantastic Fest programming team, bringing in equal numbers the intense, the gross, the violent, the real and the fun. On the whole, a truly "fantastic" experience for all involved. As we've done each year past, it is time for our Fantastic Fest Death Squad to round-up the festival and give you some parting thoughts. Most importantly, we'd like to leave you with a number of films that should occupy space on your horizon, films you should seek out when they finally get distributed in your region. To do this, each member of our coverage team has provided a recap of their experience and their three "Best of the Fest." On the next page, you'll find everyone's nominations for the 2012 Death Squad Awards, highlighting the best films of each of Fantastic Fest's competition categories.

Found an Animal?
Found an animal who may need help?
1. Does the animal really need help?
In general, if you can approach a wild animal and it does not run or fly away, it probably needs help. But before you intervene, please consider this:
Young birds leave the nest before they can fly. Birds are not taught to fly, rather they are simply pushed out of the nest and expected to work it out on their own, letting instinct take over. A young bird may be hopping around and appear to be injured (for example, flying up shakily and falling back down to the ground again), but chances are their parents are still taking care of it. Within one or two days a young bird will be flying with little trouble. It's best to let the young birds work it out on their own and to leave them undisturbed.
Baby rabbits get visits from their mother only a few times a day. It is normal for them to spend long hours in a nest all by themselves. The nest is typically hidden under brush, bushes, or leaves.
Fawns, like rabbits, spend hours alone without their mother. Baby deer are best left alone. In the case of these babies, if they are not injured it is much better to leave them undisturbed while the parents take care of them.
2. Is it safe to rescue the animal?
If is it safe for you, it is all right to intervene if any wild animal is in imminent danger from cat or dog attacks, traffic, or other serious, immediate threats.
Do not put yourself at risk to rescue an animal. Don't climb trees, crawl onto roofs, wade into deep water, cross busy streets, or otherwise put yourself in jeopardy. You will not do the animal any favors by getting yourself hurt.
Wild animals do not like being rescued. They consider action on your part as an attack and will fight back vigorously. Some can cause considerable harm with their teeth or claws. Some can transmit diseases. Rabies, for example, is always a concern with raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, coyotes and other carnivores.
3. Is there someone I can call for help?
In the District of Columbia, call City Wildlife at 202-882-1000. Our hours are 9am to 5pm, 7 days a week. For assistance after hours, call DC Animal Care and Control at 202-576-6664.
In Montgomery County, call 301-279-8000.
In Prince George's County, call 301-499-8300.
In Northern Virginia, call the Wildlife Rescue League at 703-440-0800.
If you need to hold an animal for animal control officers:
- Larger animals can be confined by putting a box or laundry basket over it and a weight on top of the box.
- Smaller animals can be picked up with a towel or gloves and put in a box or paper bag.
- Keep injured or orphaned animals in a warm, quiet and dark place, away from family pets and children. Resist the urge to check in on the animal often or disturb it in any way. An injured animal is a stressed animal and stress can easily be fatal.
- Do not attempt to feed the animal or give it water. This often does more harm than good.
- If you are transporting an animal in a box or bag (for small birds only), use paper towels or strips of newspaper for padding.

Ania Catalano has been a natural-foods chef, teacher, and consultant for more than 18 years.
Although agave nectar can be used straight out of the bottle as a sweetener for drinks or as a syrup for waffles, pancakes, or oatmeal, its true beauty is revealed when it's used in a recipe, where it produces the most amazingly delicious, naturally sweetened muffins, ice creams, and more.
When adapting recipes to use agave nectar, reduce other liquids by about one-third, and use 25 percent less agave nectar than sugar. Also, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees to avoid burning your masterpieces! Sometimes a little trial-and-error results in great new recipes.
Agave nectar has a long shelf life, and doesn't need to be refrigerated, so it's easy to work with.
Flavors will vary slightly by the variety of agave nectar you choose: light (the most neutral and best in baking) or amber (more caramel flavor, great out of the bottle).
Some agave nectars are raw, which means they never reach 118 degrees in the manufacturing process and have many beneficial enzymes still intact. This feature is appreciated by raw foodists and health enthusiasts.
The best part about using agave nectar is that you can make gourmet-tasting desserts with deep, satisfying sweetness that make you feel good after eating them, instead of giving you a sugar rush . . . and then a sugar crash. It's a perfect way to wean the kids, and the whole family, off the conventional-sugar habit.

Ruh roh, Lindsay Lohan hasn't been back at rehab very long, but she's already trying to escape! Earlier this week, the starlet was caught leaving the Betty Ford Center, apparently trying to sneak into a nearby medical center in order to buy a Coca-Cola. But her accomplice's clothes got caught on the fence. A source says, "Lindsay and her co-conspirator were forced to give it up and flag down a volunteer, who was crossing the center's grounds on a golf cart. The pair was safely returned—decaffeinated—to their hall, were they were the center of a process meeting over what they had done." Apparently, things like caffeine are strictly prohibited in rehab, but Lindsay needed her fix! [Radar Online]
It might be hard to get celebs into rehab to get the help they need. But apparently, it's just as hard to keep them there. After the jump are a few other celebrity rehab runaways!

I got several tomato plants at the spring swap from someone whose plants had become tag-less but had stayed together. Now that I've got fruit, I'm wondering if the grower (or anyone else) ever figured out what was what!
Specifically, I have one which came to me as U (for unknown)-17 . It's a potato-leaf pink, oblate, slightly lobed but definitely not scalloped (the ribs are more noticeable than the indentations), very slight radial cracking, and a conspicuous star at the blossom end. I believe I was told that some of the possible varieties were Marianna's Peace, some sort of Brandywine, and Pruden's Purple. All assistance gratefully received - it's a good tomato! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pruden's Purple is not potato-leaf -- at least not the absolutely, fabulously yummy Pruden's Purple I got from Cecilia (thanks, Cecilia!) at the swap. (Oh how I hate those in-text ads!) IALBTC |
- Posted by Laurel7286 z 6/7 Maryland (My Page) on Thu, Sep 8, 05 at 20:05
Pink Brandywine is a potato leaf, and I had some, but I didn't have any Marianna's Peace, so I can't be sure it was mine. |
- Posted by gardenpaws_VA z7 NoVA (My Page) on Thu, Sep 8, 05 at 21:28
Laurel7286, I'm no longer sure where I heard what, so MP might not have been part of the U- collection, but I got tomatoes from two people. One provided Black Cherry, Akers WVA and a couple of others by arrangement, with names, and the other had an unfortunate contretemps with labels so had lots of plants with various U-designations (plus a smaller number with names). If you were one of my donors, my apologies for forgetting which one you are. I did have (mostly OP) tomatoes myself, also, in little foam cups with the names on the rim. |
