Help, I am helping my sister work up a kitchen remodel, and she insiste on using white appliances. She has picked a medium brown for her cabinets. I am not of the White Appliance mind and really do not now where to go with this kitchen. Anybody got any ideas |
Follow-Up Postings:
White appliances compliment brown cabinets better than most alternatives. Stainless steel would make the area look industrial, black would be just flat ugly and red/blue/etc would look comical. Countertops, back splash, and wall colors can compliment the white/brown plainness. |
Maybe don't help your sister work up a remodel on her kitchen. Sounds like you already don't like her choices and for our home appliances are KEY in there for g'ness sake! I happen to like white appliances, they are timeless and easy to keep clean. |
ok, thanks handymac and sasafras. She can have any color appliances she likes, I am just not sure what color cabinets she should be looking at, she first mentiond Cherry, then she kinda liked a glazed wood called Whiskey Black. Sasafras, what color cabinets do you have with your white appliances? |
This very topic is being discussed on the Home Decor Forum. Below is a link to many photos for both of you to look at. If done correctly it looks beautiful. |

Thank you annz, I saw these pictures on the Finished Kitchen site. Some were helpful, She has been instructed by her husband, "No Painted Cabinets" so White Cabinets are out. So I am looking for the correct color natural wood finish that will complement the white appliances. Thanks again. |
Try hickory or mahogany cabinets. Hickory is a lighter than brown and has lots of character. |
If possible find an excuse to hand this off to a cabinet supplier; no good deed goes unpunished. |
There isn't a 'correct' color to go with white cabinets. White is a neutral color, and goes with anything. Look for some other aesthetic touchstone to give you direction. |
We have maple cabinets left in natural coloring, along with light oak hardwood flooring. The space is fairly small so the white appliances brighten it actually. The sink is white porcelain which pulls everything together. If your sister has a large space to work with I think cherry would be lovely! |

Having the same problem. Our kitchen cabinets are a creamy white color. Just bought new appliances and opted for white - since I feel I would have been getting in on the tail end of the Stainless trend... But the white of the appliances is just so white - almost with that purple-ish undercast to it. So I'm going to have to paint my cabinets. Don't know whether I should opt for a color, or to do a faux wood thing. Has to be super economical... |

I just painted my (1970s) oak kitchen cabinets a creamy white, and with the white appliances and my new black-with-white-flecks quartz countertop, it looks amazing! ...to me, anyway :-) I have a taupe colour on the wall, and cork on the floor, so the white isn't dominating. |

Denise- There are some great liinks on the kitchen forum. Look up white and cream and there should be some wonderful examples! Many are tied together with the backsplash :) |

In our old house we did a kitchen remodel with natural maple cabinets, neutral brown countertops, tile flooring and white appliances and green wall paint and I loved it. In our new house I got my dream white kitchen with stainless appliances.... I miss my old kitchen, I am bored of white already and want the wood look back and I do not like keeping up with the stainless appliances. I second white appliances. |
The best thing you can do for your sister is send HER to the kitchen forum here on GW. She can look and learn and ask her own questions. I have hickory cabs and white appliances. White sink. White walls. Works. |

My new cabinets are Knotty Alder with natural sealer. I have all white appliance but cannot pick a wall color. My kitchen/dining is all in with the living area. I am a 'light' person but feel like with the light cabinets and appliances light color would not look good. |

I bought some canna tubers yesterday at Walmart and was thinking of starting them this weekend. Was wondering what size container I should use and what the recommended potting medium would be. Was thinking of a mixture of potting mix plus compost.
Also, would I wait for the last frost to plant them outside in my zone? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, I would cram them in the smallest, shallow pots (plastic is fine) you can fit them in. Make sure t hey have lots of drain holes and BARELY dampen the mix until you see good root growth.That way, the roots will fill the container rapidly, less chance of rot inside, and take up less space. They really need heat and light/sun to get a good start. Boca Joe |
Thank you! I am excited to give them a try. |

I have mine growing inside in pots ranging in size from 6-12 inches. They do really well in Miracle Gro potting mix. They are the easiest plants to grow. I keep mine in a sunny window and they're growing like crazy. I put them outside in the daytime and bring them in at night because night temps are in the low 40's right now in zone 5. |
I used a container from the icicle pansies I got last fall-seemed to be a good size for four tubers. Jen |

[576] Definition and Clinical Significance of Vascular Invasion in Thyroid Carcinomas Derived from Follicular Epithelium
O Mete, SL Asa. University Health Network, Toronto, Canada; Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey
Background: The diagnosis of well differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) is based on the presence of nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma or capsular and/or vascular invasion by a follicular neoplasm. The criteria for vascular invasion are controversial. Several reports have suggested that angioinvasion is not a predictor of bad prognosis, but these results may be attributed to application of inappropriate criteria. We reviewed retrospectively the clinicopathological features of a series of angioinvasive thyroid carcinomas derived from follicular epithelium as defined by the most rigid criteria in order to determine whether rigid criteria for vascular invasion have clinical significance.
Design: A series of 4000 thyroid carcinomas derived from follicular epithelium were obtained from the files of University Health Network between September 2001 and August 2009. Using the criteria of tumor cells invading through a vessel wall associated with thrombus adherent to intravascular tumor, 116 angioinvasive carcinomas were identified; anaplastic thyroid carcinomas were excluded. Patient age and gender, tumor size, histological tumor type and variant, the presence of multifocal disease, extra-thyroidal extension (ETE), lymph node and surgical margin status were collected. The clinical charts of the patients were reviewed to determine the presence of distant metastasis and/or local tumor recurrence during follow-up.
Results: Tumors from 116 patients (35 males, 81 females, age 22-84, mean 52.39 years) ranged from 0.8 cm to 11.5 cm (mean 5.08 cm) and included 82 WDTCs (71%) 22 poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTCs) (19%) and 12 WDTCs with focal dedifferentiation (10%). Multifocal disease and ETE were present in 38 (33%) and 25 (22%), respectively. Surgical margins were involved in 56 (50%). Lymph node metastases were found in 42 of 70 patients (60%) that had undergone lymph node dissection. Follow-up information was available for 73 cases; follow-up time ranged from 1 month to 8 years. 24 patients developed distant metastasis (33%) and 27 patients had local tumor recurrence (37%). The most common metastatic sites were lungs (23 patients), bone (11 patients), brain (2 patients) and liver (1 patient). Distant metastasis originated from 14 WDTCs (58%), 6 PDTCs (25%) and 4 WDTCs with focal dedifferentiation (17%).
Conclusions: Using rigid criteria, the identification of vascular invasion predicts distant metastasis in patients with thyroid carcinomas, especially in WDTCs.

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha (GNTA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Lord spoke to me about the nations, | 1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations: |
2 beginning with Egypt. This is what he said about the army of King Neco of Egypt, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia defeated at Carchemish near the Euphrates River in the fourth year that Jehoiakim was king of Judah: | 2 Concerning Egypt: This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: |
3 "The Egyptian officers shout, "Get your shields ready and march into battle! | 3 "Prepare your shields, both large and small, and march out for battle! |
4 Harness your horses and mount them! Fall in line and put on your helmets! Sharpen your spears! Put on your armor!' | 4 Harness the horses, mount the steeds! Take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears, put on your armor! |
5 "But what do I see?" asks the Lord. "They are turning back in terror. Their soldiers are beaten back; overcome with fear, they run as fast as they can and do not look back. | 5 What do I see? They are terrified, they are retreating, their warriors are defeated. They flee in haste without looking back, and there is terror on every side," declares the LORD. |
6 Those who run fast cannot get away; the soldiers cannot escape. In the north, by the Euphrates, they stumble and fall. | 6 "The swift cannot flee nor the strong escape. In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall. |
7 Who is this that rises like the Nile, like a river flooding its banks? | 7 "Who is this that rises like the Nile, like rivers of surging waters? |
8 It is Egypt, rising like the Nile, like a river flooding its banks. Egypt said, "I will rise and cover the world; I will destroy cities and the people who live there. | 8 Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers of surging waters. She says, 'I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy cities and their people.' |
9 Command the horses to go and the chariots to roll! Send out the soldiers: men from Ethiopia and Libya, carrying shields, and skilled archers from Lydia.' " | 9 Charge, O horses! Drive furiously, O charioteers! March on, O warriors-- men of Cush and Put who carry shields, men of Lydia who draw the bow. |
10 This is the day of the Sovereign Lord Almighty: today he will take revenge; today he will punish his enemies. His sword will eat them until it is full, and drink their blood until it is satisfied. Today the Almighty sacrifices his victims in the north, by the Euphrates. | 10 But that day belongs to the LORD, the Lord Almighty-- a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour till it is satisfied, till it has quenched its thirst with blood. For the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will offer sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates. |
11 People of Egypt, go to Gilead and look for medicine! All your medicine has proved useless; nothing can heal you. | 11 "Go up to Gilead and get balm, O Virgin Daughter of Egypt. But you multiply remedies in vain; there is no healing for you. |
12 Nations have heard of your shame; everyone has heard you cry. One soldier trips over another, and both of them fall to the ground. | 12 The nations will hear of your shame; your cries will fill the earth. One warrior will stumble over another; both will fall down together." |
13 When King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came to attack Egypt, the Lord spoke to me. He said, | 13 This is the message the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to attack Egypt: |
14 "Proclaim it in the towns of Egypt, in Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes: "Get ready to defend yourselves; all you have will be destroyed in war! | 14 "Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: 'Take your positions and get ready, for the sword devours those around you.' |
15 Why has your mighty god Apis fallen? The Lord has struck him down!' | 15 Why will your warriors be laid low? They cannot stand, for the LORD will push them down. |
16 Your soldiers have stumbled and fallen; each one says to the other, "Hurry! Let's go home to our people and escape the enemy's sword!' | 16 They will stumble repeatedly; they will fall over each other. They will say, 'Get up, let us go back to our own people and our native lands, away from the sword of the oppressor.' |
17 "Give the king of Egypt a new name - "Noisy Braggart Who Missed His Chance.' | 17 There they will exclaim, 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise; he has missed his opportunity.' |
18 I, the Lord Almighty, am king. I am the living God. As Mount Tabor towers above the mountains and Mount Carmel stands high above the sea, so will be the strength of the one who attacks you. | 18 "As surely as I live," declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty, "one will come who is like Tabor among the mountains, like Carmel by the sea. |
19 Get ready to be taken prisoner, you people of Egypt! Memphis will be made a desert, a ruin where no one lives. | 19 Pack your belongings for exile, you who live in Egypt, for Memphis will be laid waste and lie in ruins without inhabitant. |
20 Egypt is like a splendid cow, attacked by a stinging fly from the north. | 20 "Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but a gadfly is coming against her from the north. |
21 Even her hired soldiers are helpless as calves. They did not stand and fight; all of them turned and ran. The day of their doom had arrived, the time of their destruction. | 21 The mercenaries in her ranks are like fattened calves. They too will turn and flee together, they will not stand their ground, for the day of disaster is coming upon them, the time for them to be punished. |
22 Egypt runs away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy's army approaches. They attack her with axes, like people cutting down trees | 22 Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent as the enemy advances in force; they will come against her with axes, like men who cut down trees. |
23 and destroying a thick forest. Their soldiers are too many to count; they outnumber the locusts. | 23 They will chop down her forest," declares the LORD, "dense though it be. They are more numerous than locusts, they cannot be counted. |
24 The people of Egypt are put to shame; they are conquered by the people of the north. I, the Lord, have spoken." | 24 The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame, handed over to the people of the north." |
25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says, "I am going to punish Amon, the god of Thebes, together with Egypt and its gods and kings. I am going to take the king of Egypt and all who put their trust in him, | 25 The LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "I am about to bring punishment on Amon god of Thebes, on Pharaoh, on Egypt and her gods and her kings, and on those who rely on Pharaoh. |
26 and hand them over to those who want to kill them, to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his army. But later on, people will live in Egypt again, as they did in times past. I, the Lord, have spoken. | 26 I will hand them over to those who seek their lives, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be inhabited as in times past," declares the LORD. |
27 "My people, do not be afraid, people of Israel, do not be terrified. I will rescue you from that faraway land, from the land where you are prisoners. You will come back home and live in peace; you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid. | 27 "Do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, O Israel. I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid. |
28 I will come to you and save you. I will destroy all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not destroy you. I will not let you go unpunished; but when I punish you, I will be fair. I, the Lord, have spoken." | 28 Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, for I am with you," declares the LORD. "Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished." |

Serves 4
While Alfajores (cookie and dulce de leche "sandwiches") are made throughout South America, the Chilean version is unusual both in technique and presentation. They use an egg-based dough (in other countries shortbread is favored). In addition, Chileans only roll one side of the dough, which results in a curled leaf effect on the dough as it bakes.
5 Egg yolks
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch, plus 1/4 cup as needed
½ tspn. baking powder
1/4 tsp orange zest
2 Tbsp Orange juice
Dulce De Leche (recipe)
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and cornstarch.
Add in some orange zest if you have it. Orange zest adds lovely fresh citrus flavor to the cookies.
Beat egg yolks until pale yellow.
Add the dry ingredients to egg yolks in three parts, mixing in the orange juice in between.
I used OJ with extra pulp, for extra goodness.
If the dough seems sticky, add extra cornstarch one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
Roll the dough out thinly. Only roll one side of the dough or else it won't curl when baked.
You'll see pretty orange flecks if you used orange zest.
This is about the right thickness:
Cut out the cookies. I used circle and heart shaped cutters. Make sure you have an even number of each, in order to make the sandwiches.
Prick the cookies with a fork so that they won't puff up.
Bake for 4-7 minutes. Do not let them brown. They should remain soft and tender.
Let cool. Then, spread with dulce de leche.
Put two halves together and enjoy, sticky fingers and all.
Unless, that is, you would like some powdered sugar.
Powdered sugar makes every thing better. Even pretty little sweethearts.
Simply fill in your details below.

to MVF until the hazards posed by inhaled asbestos—including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma—were identified in the early 1960s (Wagner et al. 1960; Bader et al., 1961). Asbestosis was the first disease that clearly defined the potential for inhaled fibers to cause human health effects. The first case of asbestosis was described in 1907 by Murray, who reported that a carding machine operator died of pulmonary injury associated with diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. In 1924, Merewether and Price (1930), reporting on a study of British workers noted the unequivocal relationship between asbestos and pulmonary fibrosis. In the 1950's and 1960's, the association between asbestos exposure and the development of lung cancer (Doll 1955) or mesothelioma (Wagner et al. 1960) was first recognized. Only recently has the latent nature of asbestos-related disease been fully appreciated, particularly in the case of mesothelioma, which can occur more than 20 years after exposure. Gilson (1966) concluded that the average latent interval for the development of carcinoma of the lung was 20 years, whereas the interval between first exposure to asbestos and onset of symptoms of mesothelioma can be 25-50 years, with an average latency of 33 years. During World Wars I and II, there was a need to insulate ships rapidly; as a result, the number of asbestos-exposed individuals increased. Their exposure was correlated with an increased incidence of asbestos-related lung and pleural disease, often manifesting itself 1 or 2 decades after the end of exposure (Kennedy and Kelly 1993).
MVF were designed as replacements for asbestos in various applications, including insulation. In light of the asbestos legacy and the absence of a toxicological database on vitreous fibers combined with the latency issue, it is not surprising that concerns have been raised about human health effects related to MVF exposure. Because of the many types of fibers in use in the 1970's, including MVF, a series of studies were conducted to evaluate their pathologic potential. Numerous types of fibers were instilled into the animal's pleural cavities (Stanton and Wrench 1972) or injected into animal's abdominal cavities (Pott and Friedrichs 1972) primarily to evaluate their carcinogenicity. Both groups of investigators found that the dimensions of the fibers were critical to their pathogenicity. Stanton et al. (1981) proposed that although fibers greater than 8 µm in length and less than or equal to 0.25 µm in diameter might be more carcinogenic, the ratio of fiber length to width—the aspect ratio—was more important for carcinogenicity than either dimension alone. Those studies were the original basis of two of the three legs

Ali Javan
By Syed Aslam
Prof. Ali Javan was born in Teheran, Iran, in 1929. After graduating from University of Tehran he entered Columbia University in 1949 and received his PhD. degree in Physics in 1954. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University, he joined the research staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey in September, 1958. In 1961 he joined the MIT faculty, where he has continued to teach and conduct research up to the present.
In 1917 Albert Einstein first introduced the concept of stimulated emission of light as a general principle in light-matter interaction. In 1958, using this principle, Prof. Javan conceived the basic idea to extract a pure color, monochromatic, light from gaseous media by means of an electrical excitation accompanied with an enhancement process arising from inter atom collisions. For the first time in 1960, his gas laser produced a continuously operating laser light. Prior to his work on the laser, Professor Javan developed the theory of the three level maser and showed the importance of phase coherence in this microwave device. This work introduced the concept of masers without population inversion, and he further extended this idea to the use of the stimulated Raman effect to achieve gain, a concept that subsequently led to novel extensions in the optical regime.
Professor Javan's continued contributions over the years have advanced diverse frontiers in the field of quantum electronics. At MIT, he established a major research laboratory and developed it into the largest laser research laboratory in the world. Many of the early breakthroughs in the scientific uses of lasers took place this laboratory. These include the many developments in laser spectroscopy at sub-Doppler resolution, which defined the field of gas phase nonlinear spectroscopy; the first use of lasers to accurately test the special theory of relativity. He introduced absolute frequency measurement technology into the optical region, and developed laser atomic clocks for the first time.
Professor Javan has continued to be active in novel areas of research, including his recent work exploring the effects of coupling light by an optical antenna into a nano scale volume of matter. A number of active fields of research have emerged from his work. His contributions have also extended to applied research areas, such as development of high energy gas lasers and multi static laser radars, controlled by accurate optical clocks and lasers for medical diagnostic use. He has supervised the doctoral thesis research of a large number of physics graduate students. In addition, he has served as an active consultant to government and industry. For his work on gas lasers, he has earned my awards specially 1993 Albert Einstein World award.
20th Century Scientists and Thinkers: Lotfi Asker Zadeh

By Syed Aslam
Lotfi Asker Zadeh was born in 1921, in Baku, a city on the Caspian Sea in the Republic of Azerbaijan. His father, Rahim Aliasker Zadeh was a correspondent for Iranian newspapers and also an importer-exporter. Zadeh and his parents moved to Tehran, Iran in 1931. After completing his high school diploma he chose University of Tehran and graduated with Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.
During the year after his graduation, Zadeh worked with his father supplying construction materials to the US. Army in Iran. His contacts with Americans made him to emigrate to United States . In the year 1944, he enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which awarded him an MA in electrical engineering . He entered the doctoral program at Columbia University and received his PhD in electrical engineering in the year 1949. Rising from instructor to professor of electrical engineering, he was on staff at Columbia for thirteen years, and finally he moved on to the University of California at Berkeley where retired as a chairman of the electrical engineering.
Lotfi Asker Zadeh, who described himself as an American, mathematically oriented, electrical engineer of Iranian descent, is responsible for the development of fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory. He is also known for his research in system theory, information processing, artificial intelligence, expert systems, natural language understanding and the theory of evidence. His fuzzy theory was enthusiastically received and applied in Japan, China, and several European countries. Industrial applications have begun to appear in US. organizations as well. The most important application of the fuzzy theory which is developed by AT&T is the 'Expert System' on a chip. Zadeh received the prestigious award to honor him for the advancement of technology from the Honda Foundation of Japan in the year1989. The same year Japan's Ministry of Trade and Industry, along with almost fifty corporate sponsors, opened a laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research with a budget of approximately 40 million dollars. Six months after its initiation, Zadeh became an advisor to this laboratory. He is also credited, for pioneering the development of the z-transform method in discrete time signal processing and analysis. These methods are now standard in digital signal processing, digital control, and other discrete-time systems used in industry and research.
Zadeh's research has earned him many honors and awards, including the Congress Award from the International Congress on Applied Systems, Research and Cybernetics (1980), the Outstanding Paper Award from the International Symposium on Multiple-valued Logic (1984), and the Berkeley Citation, from the University of California at Berkeley (1991).
Dr. Mahmoud Hessaby

By Syed Aslam
Dr. Mahmoud Hessaby was born in Tehran in 1903. His family moved to Beirut, Lebanon in 1907. He received religious instructions and studied Persian literature from his devoted and learned mother. Memorized the Holly Qur'an by heart at an early age and read the great poetry of Hafez, Sa'adi and Ferdowsi when he was just a teenager.
After completing his high school he chose American College of Beirut, graduating with a bachelor's degree of Science. He continued his studies in Civil Engineering and after receiving his degree he studied Mathematics Astronomy and Physics. He moved to France and worked for French National Railway. Continued his research in Physics and received his PhD at the age of 25 from Sorbonne University, France After completing his PhD returned back to Iran. Dr. Hessaby was polymath, he studied different fields and continued lecturing at University of Tehran for three working generations. He died in the year 1992 at Geneva, Switzerland and is buried in Tafresh, Iran.
What makes him a great mind is his well-known theory of "Infinitely extended particles". Dr Hessaby met with Dr Albert Einstein and he was the only Iranian who closely worked with him. He researched on his theory in Princeton, Chicago and preformed many different experiments to verify his theory. He published the results of his research in 1946 at Princeton University. His theory "Infinitely extended particles" is well known among scientists. Einstein once said about him that "One day he will change the direction of physics". In 1973 the medal of "Commandeur de la Legion", France's greatest scientific medal was awarded to him for his great theory. One of the great things he did was the modification of Newton's law of gravity and Columbus' law. In the field of Modern Physics he published 23 research papers and many books which include, Electrodynamics, Electric Eye, Viewpoint in Physics, Magnetic Eye, Solid State Physics and Quantum View.
Dr. Hessaby can be considered a great mind because of his endless desire for knowledge that led him to study and master several fields of science. He studied and researched in different subjects and was able to make great contributions in most of them. He also taught different subjects at various universities and gave new and interesting ideas in each of them. Dr Hessaby was a great person both in the history of the science and for the modernization of his country, Iran. He knew eleven different languages, such as Persian, English, French, Arabic, German, Italian and Greek.
What makes Dr Hessaby unique is the numerous services he rendered for his country, such as establishment of Tehran University, the teachers collage, the first meteorological station and radiological center. He also founded the space research center, the geophysics institute and the satellite tracking observatory center of Iran. It is interesting to know that Dr Hessaby also mastered Persian literature, played piano and violin and established the first Iranian institute of music. Dr Hessaby's life, his struggles, his tireless and intense interest in the quest of science as well as his deep interest in teaching the youth, and his commitment to the scientific progress of his country provides a living example and model for the students of science all over the world.
A museum has been established by his family, colleagues and students in order to value his 60 years of scientific, educational and cultural activities.

HBO Game of Thrones now beheading George W. Bush for "entertainment" (Video)
I've always said far left progressive liberal Democrats reminded me of Islamic extremists. The only difference is that left wingers never really known for beheading people they disagreed with. Well, even that's starting to change. HBO's Game of Throne is showing a replica of George W. Bush's head appears near when the character King Joffrey takes Sansa Stark out to see the spiked heads of his enemies. This is what progressive liberal Democrats consider "entertainment" these days. HBO is bad enough with Obama's million dollar pig Bill Maher, but now beheading George W. Bush for "entertainment?" When is the madness going to stop?

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then the Lord spoke his word to me, saying: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "Human, look toward Jerusalem and speak against the holy place. Prophesy against the land of Israel. | 2 "Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary. Prophesy against the land of Israel |
3 Say to Israel: 'This is what the Lord says: I am against you. I will pull my sword out of its holder, and I will cut off from you both the wicked and those who do right. | 3 and say to her: 'This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its scabbard and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. |
4 Because I am going to cut off the wicked and those who do right, my sword will come out from its holder and attack all people from south to north. | 4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north. |
5 Then all people will know that I, the Lord, have pulled my sword out from its holder. My sword will not go back in again.' | 5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its scabbard; it will not return again.' |
6 "So, human, groan with breaking heart and great sadness. Groan in front of the people. | 6 "Therefore groan, son of man! Groan before them with broken heart and bitter grief. |
7 When they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you will say, 'Because of what I have heard is going to happen. When it happens, every heart will melt with fear, and all hands will become weak. Everyone will be afraid; all knees will become weak as water. Look, it is coming, and it will happen, says the Lord God.'" | 7 And when they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt and every hand go limp; every spirit will become faint and every knee become as weak as water.' It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD." |
8 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: | 8 The word of the LORD came to me: |
9 "Human, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Lord says: A sword, a sword, made sharp and polished. | 9 "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Lord says: " 'A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished-- |
10 It is made sharp for the killing. It is polished to flash like lightning. "'You are not happy about this horrible punishment by the sword. But my son Judah, you did not change when you were only beaten with a rod. | 10 sharpened for the slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! " 'Shall we rejoice in the scepter of my son [ Judah ]? The sword despises every such stick. |
11 The sword should be polished. It is meant to be held in the hand. It is made sharp and polished, ready for the hand of a killer. | 11 " 'The sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped with the hand; it is sharpened and polished, made ready for the hand of the slayer. |
12 Shout and yell, human, because the sword is meant for my people, for all the rulers of Israel. They will be killed by the sword, along with my people. So beat your chest in sadness. | 12 Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all the princes of Israel. They are thrown to the sword along with my people. Therefore beat your breast. |
13 "'The test will come. And Judah, who is hated by the armies of Babylon, will not last, says the Lord God.' | 13 " 'Testing will surely come. And what if the scepter [of Judah], which the sword despises, does not continue? declares the Sovereign LORD.' |
14 "So, human, prophesy and clap your hands. Let the sword strike two or three times. It is a sword meant for killing, a sword meant for much killing. This sword surrounds the people to be killed. | 14 "So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike twice, even three times. It is a sword for slaughter-- a sword for great slaughter, closing in on them from every side. |
15 Their hearts will melt with fear, and many people will die. I have placed the killing sword at all their city gates. Oh! The sword is made to flash like lightning. It is held, ready for killing. | 15 So that hearts may melt and the fallen be many, I have stationed the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Oh! It is made to flash like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter. |
16 Sword, cut on the right side; then cut on the left side. Cut anywhere your blade is turned. | 16 O sword, slash to the right, then to the left, wherever your blade is turned. |
17 I will also clap my hands and use up my anger. I, the Lord, have spoken." | 17 I too will strike my hands together, and my wrath will subside. I the LORD have spoken." |
18 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: | 18 The word of the LORD came to me: |
19 "Human, mark two roads that the king of Babylon and his sword can follow. Both of these roads will start from the same country. And make signs where the road divides and one way goes toward the city. | 19 "Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. Make a signpost where the road branches off to the city. |
20 Mark one sign to show the road he can take with his sword to Rabbah in the land of the Ammonites. Mark the other sign to show the road to Judah and Jerusalem, which is protected with strong walls. | 20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem. |
21 The king of Babylon has come to where the road divides, and he is using magic. He throws lots with arrows and asks questions of his family idols. He looks at the liver of a sacrificed animal to learn where he should go. | 21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots with arrows, he will consult his idols, he will examine the liver. |
22 The lot in his right hand tells him to go to Jerusalem. It tells him to use logs to break down the city gates, to shout the battle cry and give the order to kill, and to build a dirt road to the top of the walls and devices to attack the walls. | 22 Into his right hand will come the lot for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to give the command to slaughter, to sound the battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp and to erect siege works. |
23 The people of Jerusalem have made agreements with other nations to help them fight Babylon. So they will think this prediction is wrong, but it is really proof of their sin, and they will be captured. | 23 It will seem like a false omen to those who have sworn allegiance to him, but he will remind them of their guilt and take them captive. |
24 "So this is what the Lord God says: 'You have shown how sinful you are by turning against the Lord. Your sins are seen in all the things you do. Because of this proof against you, you will be taken captive by the enemy. | 24 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do--because you have done this, you will be taken captive. |
25 "'You unclean and evil leader of Israel, you will be killed! The time of your final punishment has come. | 25 " 'O profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax, |
26 This is what the Lord God says: Take off the royal turban, and remove the crown. Things will change. Those who are important now will be made unimportant, and those who are unimportant now will be made important. | 26 this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low. |
27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! This place will not be rebuilt until the one comes who has a right to be king. Then I will give him that right.' | 27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs; to him I will give it.' |
28 "And you, human, prophesy and say: 'This is what the Lord God says about the people of Ammon and their insults: A sword, a sword is pulled out of its holder. It is polished to kill and destroy, to flash like lightning! | 28 "And you, son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says about the Ammonites and their insults: " 'A sword, a sword, drawn for the slaughter, polished to consume and to flash like lightning! |
29 Prophets see false visions about you and prophesy lies about you. The sword will be put on the necks of these unclean and evil people. Their day of judging has come; the time of final punishment has come. | 29 Despite false visions concerning you and lying divinations about you, it will be laid on the necks of the wicked who are to be slain, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax. |
30 Put the sword back in its holder. I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land where you were born. | 30 Return the sword to its scabbard. In the place where you were created, in the land of your ancestry, I will judge you. |
31 I will pour out my anger against you and blast you with the fire of my anger. I will hand you over to cruel men, experts in destruction. | 31 I will pour out my wrath upon you and breathe out my fiery anger against you; I will hand you over to brutal men, men skilled in destruction. |
32 You will be like fuel for the fire; you will die in the land. You will not be remembered, because I, the Lord, have spoken.'" | 32 You will be fuel for the fire, your blood will be shed in your land, you will be remembered no more; for I the LORD have spoken.' " |

NAGPUR: Finally, officials of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) have moved a step forward in the land encroachment case. On Tuesday, NMC engineers of Dharampeth Zone submitted a report into the alleged encroachment by NMC contractor RM Goplani at Bhagwagar Layout.
Goplani has encroached the nazul land worth crores since seven to eight years. The contractor had constructed a store room along with parking place for trucks and tippers on the land coming under jurisdiction of the district administration. The contractor had also encroached street light poles and an internal road. Besides, the labourers working for the contractor are residing in the same place in huts. Though various departments of NMC and district administration are aware of the fact, nothing has been done for such a long time. TOI had exposed the encroachment. Mayor Anil Sole had assured of immediate action as the area comes in his ward, Shankar Nagar/Deekshabhoomi.
As per official sources in the NMC, electrical engineer GM Tarapure and sectional engineer GD Mendulkar submited the report to assistant commissioner of Dharampeth Zone Mahesh Moroney. Goplani could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.
Meanwhile, a team of district administration inspected the site on Tuesday and is expected to submit a report soon to deputy collector (revenue) Milind Kumar Salve. Collector Saurabh Rao could not be contacted for his comments. Salve assured to investigate the case and take action if encroachment was found on the site.
The district administration seems to be negligent towards prime properties coming under its jurisdiction. Parking of Starbuses has been permitted in the historic Kasturchand Park for last two months. The top officials of the district administration are also silent on the land encroachment case on the lines of parking of buses in the prime landmark of the city.

noun \ˈkä-nə-fər also ˈkō-\biology : a bush or tree (such as a pine) that produces cones and that usually has leaves that are green all year
Full Definition of CONIFER
Origin of CONIFER
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any member of the order Pinales, woody plants that bear their seeds and pollen on separate, cone-shaped structures. They constitute the largest division of gymnosperms, with more than 550 species. Most are evergreen, upright trees and shrubs. They grow throughout the world (except in Antarctica) and prefer temperate climate zones. Conifers include the pines (Pinus), junipers (Juniperus), spruces (Picea), hemlocks (Tsuga), firs (Abies), larches (Larix), yews (Taxus), cypresses (Cupressus), bald cypresses (Taxodium), Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga), arborvitaes (Thuja), and related groups. They include the world's smallest and tallest trees. Conifers supply softwood timber used for general construction, mine timbers, fence posts, poles, boxes and crates, and other articles, as well as pulpwood for paper. The wood is also used as fuel and in the manufacture of cellulose products, plywood, and veneers. The trees are the source of resins, volatile oils, turpentine, tars, and pharmaceuticals. Conifer leaves vary in shape but generally have a reduced surface area to minimize water loss. Especially in the pines, firs, and spruces, the leaves are long and stiff and are commonly referred to as needles. Cypresses, cedars, and others have smaller, scalelike leaves. Conifers were the dominant type of vegetation just before the advent of angiosperms (see flowering plant).

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Save me, Lord, from evildoers; keep me safe from violent people. | 1 Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence, |
2 They are always plotting evil, always stirring up quarrels. | 2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. |
3 Their tongues are like deadly snakes; their words are like a cobra's poison. | 3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's; the poison of vipers is on their lips. "Selah" |
4 Protect me, Lord, from the power of the wicked; keep me safe from violent people who plot my downfall. | 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet. |
5 The proud have set a trap for me; they have laid their snares, and along the path they have set traps to catch me. | 5 Proud men have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. "Selah" |
6 I say to the Lord, "You are my God." Hear my cry for help, Lord! | 6 O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God." Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy. |
7 My Sovereign Lord, my strong defender, you have protected me in battle. | 7 O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, who shields my head in the day of battle-- |
8 Lord, don't give the wicked what they want; don't let their plots succeed. | 8 do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud. "Selah" |
9 Don't let my enemies be victorious; make their threats against me fall back on them. | 9 Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused. |
10 May red-hot coals fall on them; may they be thrown into a pit and never get out. | 10 Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. |
11 May those who accuse others falsely not succeed; may evil overtake violent people and destroy them. | 11 Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence. |
12 Lord, I know that you defend the cause of the poor and the rights of the needy. | 12 I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. |
13 The righteous will praise you indeed; they will live in your presence. | 13 Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you. |

Hamsters are such adorable, lovable, cute pets and adopting one can provide treasured memories to last you your lifetime.
Unfortunately, these cute little companions tend to leave us much earlier than most other pets. Hamster life span ranges typically between 2 years and 3 years depending on the breed and quality of care.
Nevertheless, some owners have reported hamster life spans of 4 or even 5 years but these are extremely rare occurrences.
Hamster Life Span Average
The length of a hamster life span from the time of its birth to its eventual death is greatly determined by the type of hamster.
Other determining factors include how well the hamster is taken care of from the time of its birth and hereditary factors such as genetics.
Of course, there are some very lucky hamsters that have lived to enjoy life to a ripe old age of 60 months and more.
Russian Dwarf Hamster Life Span
The average hamster life span for a Russian dwarf is about three years while in captivity. However, in the wild they have been known to live up to 5 years and even beyond.
Teddy Bear Hamster Life Span
Syrian hamsters, which are also commonly known as golden hamsters or teddy bear hamsters enjoy a relatively longer hamster life span of anywhere between 24 months to 36 months.
Dwarf Hamster Life Span
Dwarf winter white hamsters enjoy a maximum life span of between 12 months and 24 months. Chinese hamsters and Campbell's hamsters live around that long too.
Roborovski Hamster Life Span
Roborovski hamsters live the longest and you can expect them to enjoy a hamster life span of up to 42 months.
Birth of a Hamster
Hamsters give birth to tiny little babies referred to as pups. At birth, a pup comes out pink, blind, and hairless.
It is completely weak, helpless, and totally reliant on its mum for food, warmth, and everything else. After a week, they are strong enough to start exploring outside the nesting area and in three weeks they are usually completely weaned.
Breeders typically sell their hamsters to pet stores just after weaning, at between 4 and 9 weeks.
Social Behavior
Hamsters from most breeds are solitary creatures. When housed together they tend to suffer from chronic and acute stress.
Additionally, they become fiercely territorial and may viciously attack each other and fight to the death. Dwarf hamsters can be housed in pairs but these have to be two pups from the same litter and of the same gender.
They also have to start being housed together from a very tender age. Russian hamsters tend to form very close bonds and can get highly stressed up when separated. This is most evident among males.
Hamsters are crepuscular creatures, which makes them the perfect pet. This is because you get to play with them when you wake up before you leave for work/school and in the evening when you get back home.
Russian and Syrian hamsters mature very fast and get fertile at about 4 to 5 weeks. Chinese hamsters get fertile at between 2 and 3 months while Roborovski hamsters become fertile between 3 and 4 months.
Females remain reproductive for about 18 months while males remain reproductive for much longer. Females are in heat every 4 days and this will be characterized by a strong musky smell, reddening of the genitalia, and hissing sounds when a male is nearby.
Hamsters breed seasonally and in the Northern hemisphere this falls between April and October. They produce several litters within this period, typically 2 to 5 litters.
Each litter usually has between one and 13 pups who are born after a gestation period of between 16 and 23 days. Gestation for each breed is as follows:
- Syrian hamsters: 16-18 days
- Russian hamsters: 18-21 days
- Chinese hamsters: 21-23 days
- Roborovski Hamsters: 23-30 days
While most hamsters can carry a maximum of 24 pups in their uterus, they usually carry much less. Campbell's typically have between 4 and 8 pups though they can have up to 13 at a time.
Djungarian, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters have smaller litters while Syrian and Russian hamsters have an average of 7 pups per litter.
Old Age
Campbell and Djungarian hamsters generally live between 2 and 4 years in captivity while Syrian hamsters live for 2 to 3 years.
The Roborovski hamsters live up to and sometimes longer than 3 years in captivity. When hamsters get old they lose lots of their active energy but that is normal for all types of animals, even humans.
When it comes to the latter stages of the hamster's life, they will need extra care. Wash their cages more frequently.
Change their water, bedding, and substrate regularly. Include vitamin supplements in their diet. If you notice any sudden changes in behavior, take them to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.

The CBO report was not lost on Woodruff's colleagues at other news outlets, many of whom better served their audiences. Janet Adamy of The Wall Street Journal reported that Ryan's proposal would give seniors an $8,000 voucher, on average, to buy a policy from a private company in 2022. They would have to pay the rest—whatever the going rate for insurance is ten or twenty years from now. Dean Baker, posting on the site of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research, calculated what those out-of-pocket expenses might mean. Using CBO assumptions about inflation, he estimated that the voucher would grow to almost $10,000 in twenty years and that the cost of a Medicare type plan for someone age sixty-five would be around $30,500, leaving consumers to pay the difference—around $21,000.
Julie Appleby of Kaiser Health News led led her story with the CBO news, while Rick Zaldivar at the AP delivered a comprehensive piece that explicitly said there would be a "cost shift to future retirees." That parallels what's happening for people under age sixty-five. Zaldivar also made two crucial points, reporting that the CBO said that private plans would cost more than traditional Medicare because of higher administrative costs and that the federal voucher would grow more slowly than health care cost inflation leaving a bigger gap for beneficiaries to pay.
Stephanie Condon, Washington correspondent for CBS Interactive, picked up another point—the Republicans' Medicare bait and switch. During the fall elections the GOP successfully targeted key Democrats with ads accusing them of cutting Medicare benefits for seniors, which in turn scared the bejesus out of them. The health law reduced payments to health care providers but did not cut benefits to seniors, a point lost during the election noise. Condon remembered all that. It's Ryan's plan that will actually cut benefits for seniors over time, an irony for journos to bookmark.
Correction: This article initially reported that a typical sixty-five-year-old today pays 25 percent of his or her medical expenses. Actually, he or she pays 39 percent. The article has been corrected; CJR regrets the error.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I've found where the US defaulted on its debt in 1933 but was the result
of not coming to an agreement to raise the debt ceiling or an intentional
move to depreciate the currency during the economic crisis?
On 7/18/11 3:48 PM, Peter Zeihan wrote:
So wtf is up with the debt ceiling?
The first and most important thing to realize is that there is nothing
new going on in Washington with the ruckus over the debt ceiling issue.
The Republicans are arguing that they won't allow the ceiling to be
raised unless the president commits to substantial long-term deficit
reductions. The president argues that what the Republicans are demanding
is irresponsible both because it would stall the economy as well as risk
American creditworthiness. Much has been made of the idea that should
the debt ceiling not be raised that the U.S. would default on its debt
and the cost of the U.S. (government, private citizens and corporate
citizens) accessing credit would skyrocket.
First things first, the U.S. cannot default under any circumstances
regardless of what happens in Washington unless the U.S. Federal Reserve
actively chooses to trigger global financial Armageddon. The Fed has the
legal authority to print whatever volume of currency it sees fit to
protect American economic well-being (remember QEII? That's when the Fed
printed $500 billion to buy up U.S. debt in recent month -- the Fed can
do that to whatever volume it deems necessary without so much as
consulting the president or Congress). I do not personally prefer that
option, but its not like every other major economy in the world is not
already printing mass amounts of currency to bailout themselves out of
their own bad decisions. See chart:
Description: Oil Prices: Investors Are in the Driver's Seat
Remember, all commodity trade, 25 percent of global GDP and nearly half
of all global trade is carried out in U.S. dollars....and yet the U.S.
has the smallest money supply of the Big4 economies.
Now that doesn't mean that a currency printing frenzy is a great idea.
The U.S. 10 year government bond is the benchmark of the international
credit system. Should the Fed be forced into taking this step the mind
reels at how the credit markets would react. However, since you cannot
simply dump bonds -- for every seller there has to be a buyer -- once
all the sound and fury was factored out the net positions of everyone in
the world would probably just freeze where they were the minute before
the Fed started printing (with the Fed just picking up any new debt
issuances). What would happen elsewhere in the world? No idea. But bear
in mind there isn't another debt market out there that is a) large
enough to take the business or b) not already printing currency to
sustain the existing debt load.
If you still think there's something to this, there's really nothing I
can do to convince you otherwise, so we might as well take a peek at the
current politics.
What I won't do is rehash the long list of reasons as to why
negotiations between the House Republicans and the president might fail
-- those reasons all over the media. I will, however, point out two
simple facts that everyone seems to have ignored. First, Congress does
not work on precedence. Congress is not obliged to follow the laws it
makes. It can simply pass new ones that overturn the old ones. So no
matter how collegially or horribly this ends, it will happen again.
Second, this is hardly the debt ceiling issue has come up. The debt
ceiling has been raised nine times since 2001, 72 times since 1962, and
over 100 times since it was established in the early 20th century. The
breakdown is roughly even between Democrat and Republican presidents and
Congresses. On several occasions -- most famously in recent memory
during the Clinton administration -- the domestic debate did result in
rancorous negotiations, and on occasion a federal government shut down.
For those of you old enough to remember, the most exciting thing that
came out of the Clintonian shutdown was Monica Lewinsky (as an unpaid
intern she was the only one who showed up to the White House).
In short, this time the issue has become an issue because the House
Republicans and the president have chosen to make it an issue. At
present pushing the issue to the red line is still in the political
interests of both parties. Even if they cross the red line, you're not
looking at financial Armageddon.
On 7/18/11 2:40 PM, Korena Zucha wrote:
We're getting questions from clients about what our take is on the
potential for a default of the debt and what the potential
implications are on the global level. Is it our assessment that a
default isn't going to happen and the negotiations talk is mainly
political rhetoric? If a default won't happen, is the delay from
negotiations alone having any impact of any important economic
indicators currently that could have long-term negative consequences,
both in the US and internationally? What comes next?
Also, out of curiosity, I know we rarely write about domestic economic
and political issues but at what point would this topic warrant us
writing about it? What triggers would be be looking for in order for
the issue to meet our writing criteria?

I'm here for help again. I installed a few Halo 3" non-IC recessed fixtures. They don't sit flush to the ceiling. So, when I install the trim there is space between the ceiling and the trim (black baffle square trim) and it looks ugly. Here is the documentation of the product: http://www.haloltg.com/common/brands.cfm?pg=Detail&brandName=Halo&category=Recessed Downlighting%3A 3%22 Incandescent and Low Voltage%3A 3%22 Housings&id=14538 I followed the instructions properly, but seems like there is some trick to it. Please let me know if you have any solution. Thanks for your time. Cheers,
Here is a link that might be useful: Halo 3 inch non-IC recessed kit documentation
Follow-Up Postings:
Please provide more details. What do you mean by,"they don't sit flush to the ceiling? If the cylinder is hanging down the trim can't fix that. You may need to adjust the cylinder up. Other issues can be that the bar hangers are not fastened securely or flex when you push up on the trims and the housing sags back down leaving a gap. To correct for this may require some tapping plus some jiggling to get the trim flush. |

Hey all,
I only ever GM'd dark heresy but would love to actually play a PC in the game so I am looking for a group if any are available to play by post?
I am an experienced roleplayer and have played various PnP RPGs for over 25 years and have also been into 40k for just as long. If there are any GMs that are interested you should be aware that I have GM'd all the printed books (with my own spin) so ideally so I would be looking for a campaign that is home brewed.
Someone please help me have a player character in Dark Heresy!!

Hi There I live in a building in Saudi Arabia which has a west facing open corridor. On the eastern side it has a wall 15 meters high and on the western side a 50 meters high. At max this area receives around 2 hours of midday sunlight (in the high summer months of June / July and August) . I tried growing some veggies but they get too leggy. I was thinking of ways to get in more sunlight and the easiest one was vertical gardening. But then vertical gardening will get me no improvement in the lighting conditions because of the high walls on both east and west of this passage I even have given a thought to placing some mirror (aluminum foil to be precise since mirror would be heavy and expensive) tilted in a manner from the roof above the 15 meter wall so that light reaches this corridor. Just to give you an idea of how the passage looks like I did a quick Google images search and found this. Any inputs will be highly appreciated. Regards Saood |
Here is a link that might be useful: Passage / Corridor
Follow-Up Postings:
You could also try some plants that love shade. Most of the fruit bearing plants wouldn't survive, but some of the plants grown for their leaves, including herbs like mint or thyme might be OK. In my climate I keep mint plants in a shaded box that gets about 2 hours of sunlight a day and they are the only thing I've managed to keep alive in that space. |
