I was thinking it would be cool to have a time travel ride in Tomorrowland based off of "THe Flight Of The Navigator." Max could be involved in the ride somehow. We get to encounter all the different aliens that were on his spaceship, plus a few new ones.
There's more to be done with this idea, I know. But what do you guys think?

just bought a 22qt mirro pressure canner. tried to run the "test" to see the control jiggle. Steam was coming out of the vent like crazy (and through the control), but NO jiggling. This is my first attempt at using a pressure canner and I'm a bit scared of blowing-up! :-)
I wasn't actually canning food, just seeing how the canner works. So, did I not wait it out long enough? Is steam coming out the same as jiggling (there was so much steam, I expected it to whistle!) TIA

Well, isn't this sweet? It appears the Mirro people never bothered to update their manual. I love it when companies do that. That weight isn't supposed to jiggle, just hiss. Also, once it's at pressure you can moderate the heat and it can hiss intermittently. Someone on rec.food.preserving was talking about the weight sticking if the temperature is too high. Here's from the Wearever FAQ on the subject. Why doesn't the pressure control on my cooker/canner "jiggle" as indicated in the Instruction Manual? With the older models the pressure control did "jiggle" when the cooker/canner came up to pressure. With the newer models, the pressure control will make a "hissing" sound and emit a great deal of steam when it comes up to pressure. P.S. It's not going to blow up. The pressure plug would release first. Carol |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wearever FAQ
Even my pressure fryer hisses and then quiets down if I lower the heat a lot. Its usually at the proper pressure when its just jiggling ever so slightly and any more than that, the pressure will release in a steady stream, which is usually not recommended. For pressure frying chicken, that excessive pressure can cause extreme browning which is not a good thing for frying chicken. If I allow my pressure fryer to build up more pressure, the gasket will release pressure out of small holes around the seal area of the lid. I would still lower the heat while trying to get a jiggling of the weight. |
The new weighted canners don't rattle? How much help is that - that's how I do things in other parts of the house while I'm canning, by listening to the rattle so I know everything is going OK. (Rachel, did you buy a new model and not an older version second hand? Hiss, no rattle, on the older types Mirro usually means stove or burner is not level) |

brand new model. so, it works fine when hissing and I can go ahead and can something? thanks again, |
- Posted by cindylouwho z4 VT (My Page) on Fri, Oct 19, 07 at 18:30
oops, one more question... when i screw the weight onto the valve, do I screw it so it actually drops off the threads or leave it on the threads (ie, not screw it all the way). Hope that makes sense... |
Its screwed on fully, dropped down and remains loose. The threads are there so you can lift, and unscrew it to clean the openings afterwards. |
Which kind of weight do you have? I've got two Mirro's...old one has the disc shaped weight with 3 holes drilled into the sides for 5, 10 or 15 lbs. It just sits on top of the pressure valve. It jiggles nicely (grin), but if I leave the heat cranked up on high it will go beyond jiggling to some other "thing". Not hiss, not jiggle, but...oh, I don't know, Scream? Closer to hissing but louder and faster. Heat's too high........ My new one (last year, brand new) has a 2-piece weight that has to be screwed on after selecting the appropriate "ring" for the weight you want. It sort of spins and hisses more than jiggles. On the up side, like Carol said, it's not going to blow up. I like the old one better (figures), but it's time for a new seal!! Did you turn the heat down once the regulator started to move or did you leave it on high? Maybe try it a few more times to get a feel for what it's supposed to sound like. I know my new one took some getting used to (I'm not good with change... smile). Morz8: Deanna |
I agree with Deanna - you need a few more dry runs to "fine tune" your ear and fingers. ;) Need to get used to what is the proper sound AND get used to reducing your heat to get that sound. Heat build-up and reduction needs to be a very gradual thing. EX: on the other pressure canning thread we discuss how you must start reducing your heat BEFORE it reaches the required pounds # if you have a gauge canner. Same is true for your but it is the sounds you need to get familiar with. Once you find that point and get attuned to the sound you'll be ready to go. Oh, and don't forget - at least 3 inches of water in the canner before you put the jars in regardless of what you manual says. Good luck and enjoy! ;) Dave |
Racheal, I bought a Mirro 22 qt. about 2 years ago and had the same trouble. Drove me crazy! Take a good look at the pressure guage. If it is the "ball" kind, look underneath the ball. There may be a washer there. Once I removed the washer, it works beautifully. In fact, I have it going right now. It is rocking gently with steam coming out perfectly! |
I got the 22 qt mirro earlier this year. It will hiss and the gauge will slowly twirl. It took a little bit of getting used to, but the hissing is loud enough that I can leave the room and still hear it. |
My new one was the same way. I am certain the pressure is higher than necessary as I am paranoid about it dropping too low and having to start all over again. I too, miss the jiggling sound. I'm not particularly fond of the new ones. My daughter bought one and some part fell out of the weight; it looks like a washer but it's metal. We bang it back in with a hammer; I think she just needs to get a new weight but they are on the expensive side. |

Teacher Salary Challenges
Some experienced North Carolina teachers are unhappy with the new Teacher Salary Schedule, signed into law under this year's state budget. They say it rolls teacher longevity pay into their base pay and leaves some of them with pay raises that don't keep pace with inflation.
Gerald Buchanan is a 24-year teacher and says, "nothing is more important to a student's education than a motivated teacher. And nothing is more sad than being an experienced teacher who's been dumped on again and again who is unmotivated."
Legislators say the pay scale is not the most favorable to experienced teachers but everyone still gets a pay increase. They say the new salaries will lift North Carolina in teacher pay compared to other states and will set us on a course to continue to make improvements.

Whitesnake singles chronology | ||||
"Is This Love" is a power ballad by the English rock band Whitesnake. The song is taken from their self-titled album, which was released in 1987.
The song was written by vocalist David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes during the albums early writing process (which took place in the south of France), but it was long rumoured that the song had originally been written for singer Tina Turner. Coverdale confirmed these rumours in the booklet of Whitesnake 's 20th anniversary edition, by saying:
"Before I'd left [for the south of France] a friend at EMI had asked me for any ideas that would work for Tina Turner. So that was where the original idea for 'Is This Love' came from."
"Is This Love" became one of the most popular Whitesnake songs. The song reached #87 on VH1's "100 Greatest Love Songs" list and #10 on their list of "Greatest Power Ballads".
The single was a hit for Whitesnake, reaching number 9 in the UK Singles Chart[1] and number 2 in the US singles chart,[2] making it their second-biggest US hit after "Here I Go Again" which hit number 1. The number 1 spot at the time was held by "Faith" by George Michael. The single was reissued in 1994 to promote Whitesnake's Greatest Hits, and featured the song "Sweet Lady Luck" (which was previously only available as B-side to "The Deeper the Love" single) and "Now You're Gone". This version reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
A music video was also made, featuring Coverdale's then-girlfriend actress Tawny Kitaen. The music video depicts the band playing the song on a misty stage, intercut with scenes of Coverdale singing, Kitaen dancing and the two of them together.
The Audio Thieves featuring Uniting Nations covered this song in their 2006 album Dance Cover. Also in 2006, Thomas Anders covered the song for his album Songs Forever. The song was also covered in 2012 by Canadian-American dance artist Stacey Jackson.

Teel converted 23-of-33 passing for the Scarlet Knights (6-5) as they won their fifth straight outing. Tim Brown had just a single carry on the afternoon, yet he scored the only other offensive touchdown for the program. Army (3-8) again focused its energy on the ground, coming up with 217 yards on 47 attempts, but the squad failed to get into the end zone. Chip Bowden, who was second with 83 yards on 21 attempts, converted a mere 2-of-4 passing for two yards. Collin Mooney contributed a game-high 112 yards rushing on 20 carries in the team's third straight setback. Rutgers scored 30 unanswered points before the visitors managed to hit the scoreboard, beginning with a 58-yard fumble return by Joe Lefeged at the 13:13 mark of the first frame. Later in the period San San Te knocked through the first of his three field goals, this on a 32-yard attempt, to make the score 10-0 at the end of one. Teel and Shamar Graves hooked up for a 26-yard TD strike in the second frame, followed by field goals of 39 and 27 yards by San San Te to make the score 23-0 at the break. At the 6:33 mark of the third Brown capped a seven-play, 82-yard drive with his 19-yard rushing score to give the hosts a 30-0 edge. Later in the period Army kicker Matthew Campbell booted a 24-yard field goal, but that was it for the scoring from either side on the day. Rutgers, which ran 13 more offensive plays than the Black Knights, came up with 521 yards of total offense, compared to 219 for the visitors. 11/22 16:31:28 ET |

GT Advanced Technologies To Showcase Sapphire Cover Screen Material At 2013 SID Display Week Show May 20-24 In Vancouver, BC
NASHUA, N.H., May 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GT Advanced Technologies (Nasdaq:GTAT) is participating in the 2013 Society for Information Display's Display Week event May 20-24 in Vancouver, BC. The company will be showcasing sapphire cover screens for smartphones and other mobile devices including touch panel demonstrations with sapphire screens developed by Atmel and Ocular that highlight sapphire touch sensitivity when integrated into a touch module. In addition, the company will be delivering presentations during Monday's Business and Touch Gesture Motion conferences. The presentations will highlight results of recent sapphire material testing and provide an update on the progress being made in the development of an optimized fabrication value chain for delivering low-cost and high volume sapphire screen material.
GT is developing and investing in a number of innovative technologies that, when commercialized, will help to lower the cost of sapphire cover screens to levels that are competitive with reinforced glass material. GT continues to advance its ASF® sapphire growth furnace for the production of high volume, high quality sapphire material. In addition, the company's recently announced acquisition of Thermal Technology broadens its sapphire equipment offerings with a sapphire annealing furnace that the company believes will be important in the manufacturing of sapphire cover screens. GT is also developing its Hyperion implant technology, which it expects could significantly lower the cost of sapphire cover screens by delivering thin, exfoliated sapphire substrates in high volumes.
GT is completing a series of third-party tests on sapphire cover screens to demonstrate how sapphire material compares with other glass cover solutions. Preliminary results of these tests will be presented in the Touch Gesture Motion Conference Monday, May 20. The presentation will be available on GT's web site at [ http://investor.gtat.com/events.cfm ].

Dry mix paths and mower strips, why not?
posted by: linnea2 on 07.24.2005 at 03:46 pm in Hypertufa Forum I've wanted to try this for some time.
I have big piles of stone and small rubble, mixed size pea gravel/river stone and mason sand, about 4 yards of each. The "pea gravel" is from 2" to dirt, most in the 1/2" range. Decided to try the mower strips (garden edging) first, since they're smaller.
I mixed about 3/2/1 pea gravel/portland/sand. The portland I'm using first is
If this works (it LOOKS good!), I'm doing all the mower strips and several paths
Besides using up all this material that's sitting around, I really like
I was going to use flashing or plastic edging to reduce the width and
Can any of you think of a reason this might not work?
I live in the Hudson Valley; -every hole you dig is at least half stones
You could also use sackrete mix instead of my pea gravel mix. I'll post some pics if anyone's interested. NOTES: my project for this coming year!

how do I save seeds effectively?
posted by: tomatoesaretops on 06.14.2006 at 08:11 pm in Growing Tomatoes Forum I'm wondering how to save seeds. In particular, do you scrub them clean? where do you let them dry? how do you store them? How many seeds does one need to have for the next harvest and to give away to a couple friends?
NOTES: <none>

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
25 I want to lay all this out on the table as clearly as I can, friends. This is complicated. It would be easy to misinterpret what's going on and arrogantly assume that you're royalty and they're just rabble, out on their ears for good. But that's not it at all. This hardness on the part of insider Israel toward God is temporary. Its effect is to open things up to all the outsiders so that we end up with a full house. | 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. |
26 Before it's all over, there will be a complete Israel. As it is written, A champion will stride down from the mountain of Zion; he'll clean house in Jacob. | 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. |
27 And this is my commitment to my people: removal of their sins. | 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins." |
28 From your point of view as you hear and embrace the good news of the Message, it looks like the Jews are God's enemies. But looked at from the long-range perspective of God's overall purpose, they remain God's oldest friends. | 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, |
29 God's gifts and God's call are under full warranty - never canceled, never rescinded. | 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. |
30 There was a time not so long ago when you were on the outs with God. But then the Jews slammed the door on him and things opened up for you. | 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, |
31 Now they are on the outs. But with the door held wide open for you, they have a way back in. | 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. |
32 In one way or another, God makes sure that we all experience what it means to be outside so that he can personally open the door and welcome us back in. | 32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. |
33 Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. | 33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! |
34 Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? | 34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" |
35 Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? | 35 "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" |
36 Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes. | 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. |

34,000 dollars for lpn school at platt okc
0Mar 19, '13 by LPN MOM, CNAThis is just too much money for a simple certificate compared to a RN degree. I was thinking about going to this school but the price has been heavy on my mind. I was already accepted and theres no waiting list you just have to pass a HESI entrance exam. The exam was hard but i managed to pass my first try. The only reason why i was considering going is because im a single mom of three kids and 4 years or more at a regular college is just too long and life happens during those years. I want to make sure ill have the time to get through everything. Im a cna/medication aide and ive been doing it since 2008. I feel desperate and all the smaller vo-techs around here have waiting lists and other requirements i dont have or have the money for such as certain college courses. My original plan was to enroll at a community college here for my RN but its just the time. Its either or. Time or Cost. I was also considering enrolling at a vo tech for AUA or often called Patient Care Techs so i could do this at a hospital and possibly having the hospital help pay for me to go to college. I know some of them do tuition reimbursement or even send staff to school. Any comments are welcome and encouraged to help me to make the right choice. ThanksLast edit by LPN MOM on Mar 19, '13 : Reason: wrong price
0Mar 19, '13 by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN AdminMoved to our Oklahoma State Nursing Programs for members advice since state specific program.
1Mar 19, '13 by HippyDippyLPNI am not from Oklahoma but 34k is INSANE god just an LPN cert! I paid 15k which I think is nuts as well.loriangel14 likes this.
0Mar 19, '13 by LadyFree28, BSN, RNQuote from HippyDippyLPN^Ahem, it's PN diploma, and LPNs are licensed, FYI.I am not from Oklahoma but 34k is INSANE god just an LPN cert! I paid 15k which I think is nuts as well.
OP, I'm not from OK either...I understand your eagerness to become a nurse, but I rather wait and enter a program for 1/2 the cost. Just my opinion. If you have been a CNA and a med tech, then you have experience to get into a hospital. No additional courses may not be needed. They can assist with you getting your BSN, especially if that is your ultimate goal. I would look into getting into those hospital systems, as well as if you can go to school part time.
Since I am not in your state, find out what other posters have done from your state. Regardless, that tuition is high, but may be your best choice as well. You will be a NURSE upon completing your PN education. it served me well prior to returning to get my BSN. Good luck!Last edit by LadyFree28 on Mar 19, '13 -
1Mar 20, '13 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorThe tuition at Platt College must have increased very steeply in recent years. I attended the LPN-to-RN bridge (A.S.N.) degree program at their north OKC campus in 2010 and paid about $19,000. The tuition would have been $23,500 but I transferred credits into the program which were accepted.
I couldn't imagine paying $34k for an LPN program in Oklahoma or anywhere in the US. The LPN pay rates in OKC are very low, and unless you work two jobs, you will barely make $34k in a year as an LPN in the low-paying state of Oklahoma. Have you checked out the LPN program at Francis Tuttle? It is much cheaper. Good luck to you.NRSKarenRN likes this. -
0Mar 20, '13 by HippyDippyLPNYes I do realize we have licenses as I one and our schools call it certifications not diplomas, I have never heard it called a diploma. It's the same thing, either way 34k for an LPN education is outrageous whether you wanna call it a diploma or cert.
1Mar 20, '13 by LadyFree28, BSN, RNQuote from HippyDippyLPN^OK, with all due respect as a seasoned LPN, I did NOT receive a "cert", I received a diploma.Yes I do realize we have licenses as I one and our schools call it certifications not diplomas, I have never heard it called a diploma. It's the same thing, either way 34k for an LPN education is outrageous whether you wanna call it a diploma or cert.
My response was mainly the OP...not trying to hijack the thread, but understand that many of us have a diploma or Associates, or a went to a hospital based program.
Calling it "just a cert" gives fuel to people who think less of the education I received, and I like to protect the respectability for those who choose and chose to be a LPN.
Not personal...no flame behind it, ok?Last edit by LadyFree28 on Mar 20, '13loriangel14 likes this. -
0Mar 24, '13 by LPN MOM, CNAThank you everyone for the comments. If im having second thoughts than its probably for a good reason. Not sure whats next but i will go to school this year! To The Commuter, i would love to pay 19,000 for the RN and not 34,000 for lpn. Thats just not right!
0Apr 11, '13 by WorkofHeart8I graduated from there last year and paid 18k. All depends on if you qualify for grants.
0Apr 17, '13 by SylviaBeeJust so you know, (I go to OCCC, but last year considered getting my LPN from Platt) Oklahoma hospitals and clinics will hire from a tech center or college or university before they'll hire from Platt or any other private owned college. As I was told by a radiologist from Oklahoma Heart Hospital "Platt college is pretty much the laughing stock of the medical field." She advised me STRONGLY against going that route, and I'm really grateful she did. The opportunities are much better as an RN than an LPN, but even if you just want your LPN, Moore Norman Technology Center was pretty easy to get into, and doesn't last THAT long.

At least one in five horses used for leisure are overweight or obese. It's a condition which can lead to laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome.
The pilot study, carried out by The University of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, showed that rates of obesity among horses are likely to be just as high as they are among people. The results are published online on Monday 17 January 2011 in the journal Veterinary Record.
The study, by third year veterinary student Helen Stephenson from Lydney in Gloucestershire, assessed the prevalence of obesity among horses whose owners were registered with Oakham Veterinary Hospital one of the school's clinical associates specialising in the treatment of horses.
Research carried out in Scotland has already shown a prevalence of obesity in pleasure riding horses but this is the first time a similar study has been done in England.
Five hundred owners were sent questionnaires. None of them kept horses for breeding, livery, riding stables, or competition, so were all classed as keeping their animals for leisure only. Of the 160 returned one in five showed that their horses were either overweight or obese.
The research was supervised by Dr Sarah Freeman, a specialist in Veterinary Surgery at the vet school. Dr Freeman said: "This provides the first snapshot of the prevalence of obesity in horses in the UK and an insight into owners' management of bodyweight in horses. Obesity is linked to a number of different diseases, including arthritis, laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome. A larger study would be useful to establish the prevalence and risk factors for equine obesity in different horse populations across the UK."
The owners were asked about their perceptions of their horses' body condition, and asked to score this from zero to five, with a score of more than 3 indicating overweight.
Grass was the main source of forage for half the

I didn't actually take any courses with CompTIA, just took the cert. tests. I've been learning all this stuff on my own at home for the last 25+ years(started with a Commodore64 BBS way back in the early 80's).
I know I want to work with Linux systems and if possible I'd like to work with Cisco hardware as well.
I'm going in tomorrow to talk to the guy at ITT and if they don't include some Cisco certs in their courses then I'm out of there and I'll just keep studying on my own and keep looking for some real schooling/training that I can afford.
I already know that with a bit of studying and some hard work I can pass the Linux+ test at CompTIA.
Good advice though so Thank You!

Re:tl;dr (132 comments)
I couldn't imagine running an on-line business and not having some sort of back-up plan in place in case the US government did make a mistake or just decided to seize my registrars servers for some reason.
Full disclosure before I continue....I run 2 of the Cesidian Root Servers
I also know that as long as my site has an IP address and a net connection my "customers" and the rest of the Internet will be able to access my systems. I am NOT dependent on ANY US based ICANN root server to keep my sites on-line and my business operating and/or making a profit.
I often wonder if ANY shareholders are aware of these critical flaws in nearly all companies on-line infrastructure !!....once those caches time-out your on-line
business is DEAD...period!...NO DNS = No more money to PAY CEO's bonuses and to pay dividends to shareholders.
How much has your company spent on back-up systems and redundant net links? will any of it matter if your customers can't reach the site? I would sure hate
to be the head of an IT department if my domains got pulled and the CEO, Board of Directors, shareholders and customers couldn't get their e-mail
The Cesidian Root was crucial in keeping the wikileaks.org domain on-line after the seizure and since we have root servers world-wide now, no government
can take down any domain or TLD we serve.
We also offer TLD's that you won't find available on any ICANN server and if you really need it we can provide you with a custom TLD.
Re:One more reason to not do metering. (250 comments)
I'm not suggesting that my way is the only way but, after seeing the "bandwidth" monitoring on my DD-WRT enabled wireless routers( I have several) I wasn't really impressed. They don't track overall usage for very long and they don't track different types of traffic at all. They also don't differentiate between IP's.
Bandwidthd does track usage for up to a year, and months and weeks and days and tracks different types of traffic and tracks by IP address as well as the whole LAN.
It also was a great place to setup a firewall since all traffic on the LAN passes through this box now so I wanted a system with a bit more power and reliability than
a basic Linksys wireless router running on flash ram.
I'm sure there are several other ways to do this too.
Re:One more reason to not do metering. (250 comments)
Build your own "meter"
I've had this setup for years now and Thankfully I've never needed it...sure nice to know what my systems are doing bandwidth wise though!!
Doubt anyone here would need it it but, if someone does need some help with this setup feel free to email me.
Nothing to hide? Protecting the public? (155 comments)
I would be all in favor of this IF it also included any and ALL elected officials and anyone serving the public such as Judges, DA's and police officers.
These people above all should have absolutely nothing to hide and should be forced to deal with the false positives just as much if not more than the average person.
Re:A competing DNS, that's what happens (177 comments)
There are alternative DNS roots already. http://cesidianroot.net/ The Cesidian Root comes to mind right away and I'm sure there are others although I'm pretty sure AlterNIC and OpenRoot have been shut down
Re:IPv6 Mess (551 comments)
Guess what has to be done to have IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack? The IP stack of every IPv4 host needs to be updated!
at worst they have to wait for a timeout on every pageload which makes web browsing EXCRUCIATINGLY slow).
If the site is not on IPv6 they shouldn't have DNS entries for thier v6 addresses so why would people have to wait for a timeout?
Re:Idiot! (185 comments)
I have no issue( I've been using IPv6 just fine for the last 2 years and have an IPv6 cert from he.net) but, the millions of people that may/might be required to Flash their own hardware may have plenty of issues.
and he is not correct....there may be plenty of ISP's that ask/require an end user to make changes to the settings on a cable modem or router...this is trouble...always will be...Period.

Help needed...DIVs.
Ok, I am switching my layout from a table based one to a DIV and CSS based one. However, I don't know how to make two DIVs appear next to each other, one should have a width of 57% and the other a width of 8.5% but I cannot make them line up next to each other and I am cunfuzzled.
This is a breif part of the code:

Most Recent News

Navigation Menu
And from the CSS:
.d3 { background: #0b151d; text-align: center; height: 25px; width: 57%; font-weight: bold; margin: auto; border: 1px solid #000000; }
.d4 { background: #0b151d; text-align: center; height: 25px; width: 8.5%; font-weight: bold; margin: auto; border: 1px solid #000000; }
Any help is appreciated, I'm not good with DIVs and am having a great del of trouble as it is. >_>

Apply float: left; to one and float: right; to the other or put them inside a container and apply float: left; to both of them.
And could you put the code in [ code ] tags next time you post, as it is easier to read.

Thanx for the help, I did apply it but i seemed to have opened up some new problems.
I'll try to do this:
This is the page that I originally had that looked good (but with tables):
This is the CSS for that:
Now, this is the page that I was experimenting with DIVs on and made plenty of mistakes, I guess:
And here is the CSS for that one:
Now I realize most of you are quite busy but as you can probably see, I am a failure at this. So if anyone could tell me how to do it, or start it for me and tell me how to do it. I was really alright until I had to lign the two divs up next to each other then the whole thing kind of blew up.
Thanx for any help.

You have to understand that the div is just a generic container - it doesn't know what you want it to do, so unless you specify positioning attributes each browser will display them using inheritance or their own defaults (whichever applies for the div in question).
It's all very well giving it (literal) style attributes such as border and text alignment, but you also need to tell it how to display - both with respect to the page, and with respect to the surrounding elements.
Positioning with CSS gives people real nightmares at first, because it doesn't seem to have much logic, so it's best to bite the bullet and go straight to the W3C spec for CSS:
There are plenty of very good tutorials by example for CSS. Virtually anything you will try and do has been done before, so you can always get hold of example code.

Classic rockers
Monday, 06 October 2008 17:06
Greg Harkins of Vaughan, Miss., has been building handmade chairs for 35 years for a clientele that ranges from "the common folks" to the last five presidents of the United States. Harkins builds quality chairs, mostly rockers, and credits his success to Tommy Bell, a legendary Mississippi chair maker.
Furniture with attitude

Philip Bosen of Silver Spring, Md., is a computer software tester by day who is readily anticipating a retirement career as a full-time animistic furniture artisan. Animism is the belief in the existence of spirits, dragons, lizards and the like. A sole proprietor doing occasional commissions and gallery pieces, he finds furniture making an enjoyable way to fill his time.

Lee Huss, an urban forester in Bloomington, Ind., says he works in a city that is tree crazy. In 1985, Bloomington earned the state's first Tree City USA designation, which it has maintained for 23 years. Huss and his department are responsible for maintaining about 18,000 street trees and thousands more in the city parks.

WeAreThey 1 year, 8 months ago on Herald changing online commenting system
Herald changing online commenting system
Since I can still log in this morning, I would like to appeal to Mr. Hendricks and the AH editorial staff not to implement this change. We live in in a small town and we live in the South. Neither of those factors lend themselves to open public discourse without the fear of being ostracized or even retaliated against. This forum has provided a safe place for the working class, employees, small business owners and retirees to express their opinions about things that effect their lives. Before this forum existed, these people, we, had no 1st Amendment rights in this community, really - not for the sake of our livelihoods and our families. While you may not like some of the comments made here, there are a few that offer true constructive thinking and make the wheat and chaff thing worth it. Far more people read this forum than I imagined. And they talk about it among their peers, friends and families. But they are talking about the IDEAS, not the Individuals. To change that is to discourage the exchange of ideas and ultimately, set us back on the course to apathy. Apathy got us to the place we are now. Because we live in a small town and we live in the South.

City considers nonprofit PILOT funding
To Whom It May Concern:
The opinions expressed by the Albany Shopper... uh, Herald... do not reflect the opinions of most of its readership or those of the majority of those paying for all these services in Dougherty County. For purposes of full disclosure, the 'analysis opinions' expressed by certain part-time journalists, who may or may not reside in Lee County, are reflective of: a) the journalist's lack of personal expenditure on taxes in the county discussed in this column, and, b) this publication's interests in future advertising dollars from certain non-profit institutions.
We ask that you pardon any inaccuracies, such as The Anchorage being subject to possible Dougherty PILOT fees despite being located in Lee County, with the understanding that the same dramatic effect could not achieved without the shameless use of this example.
We further advise you that placing this column under the heading 'Analysis Opinion' does not attest that any analysis of the information spoon-fed to us was performed. For fact-checking and real analysis, please wait (and hold your breath) until our next installments of public service reporting where we will report on: A) The true composition of non-profits in Dougherty County and publish a list of those listed as tax-exempt; B) Our analysis of the tax-exempt properties owned by Albany/Dougherty Hospital Authority and Phoebe Health Systems, their stated uses and publish a list of those properties; C) Our in-depth analysis of the $130 million in community benefits purported to be given by Phoebe. We will examine what services are provided and provide independent analysis of how that $130 million is calculated.

And which 'industry' would those employers be from, Cartman? The tax-paying industries would see the PILOT fees as some assurance that their future property taxes rates may stay in check since they would not be totally supporting the needs of non-profits. The non-profits can't leave because they need a needy community to qualify for grants - or justify their existence.

Hats off to the City Commission for doing what the County, the DCSS and the Chamber have been unwilling to do - advocating that local money needs to be spent locally! For years, we have sent the vast majority of our tax dollars, especially on capital projects, to companies somewhere other than here. Valdosta, in particular, has enjoyed the prosperity of their local businesses funded by the taxpayers of Dougherty County. Add to that Columbus, and any of 10 counties in metro Atlanta, and I think we would find where a missing portion of Albany's economic development has ended up. Spend the money here and it grows here. Now let's see if the County, the DCSS and the Chamber have the same economic common sense.

Way to go, Mr. Taylor!! They are called 'in lieu' fees and they should be charged to all tax-exempt entities owning property in the entire county - including those non-profits occupying government-owned facilities. These fees should be based on the market value of the property. They should be charged annually and subject to the same penalties for non-payment as unpaid property taxes. All property tax-exempt entities in this city expect, and receive, fire protection, law enforcement protection, street lights, road maintenance, utility maintenance, additional utility infrastructure built to accommodate their new construction and many more services. The 8,000 of us who support the cost of these services through payment of property taxes cannot carry the load any longer.

DOJ involved in community residence dispute
No Mik, the point of this discussion is that the Baileys, in the interest of their personal profits, have visited the DOJ upon this community, thereby allowing the opportunity for the wishes of the local taxpayers and their elected representatives to forever be subjugated to a federal court order. In other words, no more planning and zoning decisions for us without DOJ review. This is not about the Baileys' 4 clients - no matter how much they are shamelessly used as pawns. They just happen to be pawns in a legally protected class. This is about a for-profit business using whatever means available to protect a meager investment - to what may be the long-term detriment of this community.

I have to agree that Mr. Bailey obviously reached out to the DOJ or had someone else do it. Regardless of the side you take on the issue of where to locate this home, you have to consider that inviting the DOJ was purely for the protection of his personal interests. These folks make their living operating these homes. It is not for charitable or philanthropic purposes. Now, because the Baileys made a bad investment, they want to hold up their clients as people who need the protection of the Feds.

Libraries of Flesh: The Sorry State of Human Tissue Storage
- |
- 12:00 pm |
- Permalink
The first floor of the Coriell Institute for Medical Research in Camden, New Jersey, looks less like the Wild West than a bustling spaceport crammed with flying saucers. Rows of stainless steel tanks filled with liquid nitrogen house the most diverse collection of human cells in the world. The contents of these freezers, kept in sealed Pyrex vials at -196 degrees Celsius, played key roles in a wide array of 20th-century medical breakthroughs.
The institute was founded in 1953 by Lewis Coriell, a charismatic pediatrician who pioneered methods of growing viruses and human cells in vitro. By turning test tubes and centrifuges into factories of life, he gave the young Jonas Salk a way to mass-produce polio viruses in the quantities needed to create a vaccine. Coriell also invented the first sterile air-filtration system for labs and turned a crate of foreskins donated by pediatrician and future surgeon general C. Everett Koop into a medium for growing chicken pox.
The town of Camden has changed a lot since then. Poet Walt Whitman's old cottage, a few blocks away, is a grassy oasis in a flatland of bail-bond agencies and strip malls. But the shining tanks that Coriell left behind when he died in 2001 have kept a Noah's ark of genomic data safe for decades.
The keeper of the ark is Christine Beiswanger, a cell-culturing expert with the patient manner of a middle-school science teacher. She swells with pride as she says that even if Camden were off the grid for six weeks, her beloved samples would stay frosty because of the institute's 11,000-gallon gravity-fed backup tank of liquid nitrogen. Portions of Coriell's collection have also been seeded in multiple locations, including a site in Wisconsin that bills itself as the world leader in bovine genetics. "Bull semen," she says. "We went out there once. We heard more than we ever wanted to know about artificial insemination in cows. But at least we learned that our collection is safe."
In addition to human cell lines, Coriell's repository also houses tissue, plasma, serum, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. Pausing at one of the freezers, Beiswanger pulls on a blue cold-resistant glove and raises the lid. Fishing with a long hook, she catches a rack of vials and lifts it out. The nitrogen pool is eerily invisible, having the same refractive index as air. Clouds of sublimating vapor pour out and vanish halfway to the floor.
Each vial represents the trace of a human life launched into the future in hopes of a cure that will benefit others. The dozens of tanks lining this room contain cells of diabetic Native Americans, autistic Chinese, bipolar Amish, and a Latino infant who suffered from Moebius syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes an inability to smile, frown, or form any other facial expression.
The Coriell Institute is only one of tens of thousands of biobanks in the US. An exact number is hard to calculate, because they range in size from fridges stocked with tumors for a surgeon's personal research to a mammoth collection of tissue samples stored by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at a warehouse in Maryland.1
Biobanking is an expensive proposition: Just one cryogenic freezer can suck down $2,000 worth of electricity a year. In the interests of science, it's best to archive samples and the data related to them for decades after enthusiasm for the research has faded. As a result, many bio-repositories are chronically underfunded. Those in academic labs are typically paid for with money siphoned from grants and departmental expenses. Larger nonprofit institutions, including Coriell, are kept afloat by year-to-year contracts with federal agencies under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health.
A growing number of firms now market their human commodities directly to scientists online. Browsing through one of these biobazaars can be surreal for the uninitiated. Recently, the "most popular" cells available from a company called Asterand were fibroblasts removed from the milk ducts of a 45-year-old African-American woman who died of invasive breast cancer. The price of a vial containing approximately 1 million of her cells: $875 plus shipping.
Though prolific sperm donors can earn a modest living by making regular biobank deposits, tissue donors are not paid, thanks to a 1984 US law designed to prevent organ trafficking. It's technically illegal to sell human tissue at a profit under this statute, but high-volume vendors like Asterand and BioServe finesse this by charging hefty processing and shipping fees. In the age of molecular medicine, the tissue trade is booming. Asterand's annual revenue soared by 82 percent in 2008 to more than $22 million.
Lewis Coriell would not have been surprised that his cell collection in Camden gave birth to a thriving global industry. After all, he tried to persuade the US government to build a vast storehouse of human cells to support research from coast to coast. But he might have been taken aback to learn that the crude 19th-century chemistry he and his peers repurposed for bio-preservation is still the state of the art in the 21st century.
Note 1. The original version of this story gave the incorrect name for the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.

I am currently building a 16 deep x 35ft. wide deck with 16" centers 2x10 joists. 2x4 P.T. flooring,14 foot runs with 2 foot overhang on a triple 2x10 tech lam beam. Lagged and joist hangers on the wall. I notice some flex in the floor as i move along putting the floor on. I am within code as per drawings from the architect BUT. They usually only do min requirements by code. What's my best course of action to get the spring I call it out of the floor. I was thinking 2x10 blocking in between the joists down the center to stiffen it up. Any thoughts appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don't say how far apart your posts are for the beam, or size. Is it southern yellow pine for joists? Is the 2x10 ledger, bolted to a 2x8 rim joist? That is a lot of weight hanging, especially if you're not bolted through the ledger, and not hitting floor joists. You need a lot of shear strength, which the architect should have spec'd out. I'm surprised solid blocking or cross bracing isn't specified on the plans. |
9 feet apart are the 6x6 posts sitting on 10 foot deep 12" piles. Ledger is lagged to the rim plate which is 12" thick cement with steel plates that were set into the cement on the ICF pour every 16" as per code. On a side note I put in blocking today at the 4 and 10 foot mark going out from the house on the 14 foot joist run to the beam plus 2 foot overhang = 16' run and did not seem to help in the bounce. |
Just shooting from the hip here, and without looking it up, I do believe your posts are too far apart. The architect should have the load calculations on the plan. It certainly seems to me, the dead load is way too much. You can search online for a load calculator, and figure out the dead load. Its been a long time since I've built one, and things change, but I believe you're supposed to be around 10# per square foot for the dead load. BTW, 10 foot deep on the posts? Where is this? |
In Canada. Water table made the screw pile installer and engineer go down that far. Also with the tech lamaminated 3 ply beam 2x10. ( It took a small crane to lift) they were told they were in overkill mode. Which I tend to build like. I was the builder not the engineer in this. I showed up and the piles and posts were up from the builder, then I took over. I agree I never would of built it with only 3 posts span. The homeowner wants the underneath patio area post free. Next up sistering another 2x10 to each joist. I wonder if I can just screw the joists to the existing ones. Probably cut them a couple of inches shorter for ease of getting them in. |
If you sister to the existing joists, you're adding to the dead load. Something you do not want. |
So the other option I have is to put in a joist between each 16 as it sits now. Does that help the situation |
How high is this? Do you have a picture you can upload? I wouldn't say that's your only option, but I'm not an engineer by no means. (I still believe the posts are too far apart) Possibly diagonal bracing down to the posts from joists, may be another option. |
Approx. 10 feet off the ground. With double french doors on the walk out onto the lower patio area.Below this deck. |
Search images on Google for, Deck Bracing. You probably want to search Deck Failure, as well. Last thing you want is a failure. It really doesn't matter if the customer wants less of this or that. It has to be safe. |

Marc Andreessen On Why Bitcoin Matters (And A Critique)
Unknown Lamer posted 1 year,6 days | from the hop-on-the-bandwagon dept.
332New submitter Ramtek writes "Marc Andreessen writes an interesting editorial on how he how he believes Bitcoin is the first practical solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem and why that is important. He also addresses many of arguments against its future by its critics such as its current limited use by ordinary consumers, its current volatility, its potential lack of acceptance by merchants, and many other issues. While politically agnostic the piece is squarely in support of Bitcoin but presents a more mature perspective than many current Bitcoin editorials." eggboard wrote in with a rebuttal: "Marc Andreessen wrote an essay in the New York Times in which he tried to make the case for Bitcoin going mainstream for payments, if not as a currency. After comparing Bitcoin to the rise of personal computers and the Internet, he tries to explain how it eliminates fraud and will solve global money transfers and the plight of the unbanked. I wrote a critique of these and other points in his essay."

Netflix: The Biggest Empty Promise Since Enron?
Because, like Hastings, old media leaders see the future, however -- and this is the key part -- unlike Netflix, they control it. In fact, they have almost sole control over the future of "television." The old guard represents the future of video entertainment consumption as much as it does the past. Also, unlike Netflix, the old guard enjoys the luxury of overseeing a slow evolution.
Given the affiliate fees they collect and multi-million dollar gravy train checks for mostly stale and some strategic content they cash from Netflix, Amazon.com (AMZN - Get Report) and others, there's no need to rush. Why bust a model where you sell scraps to glorified third-party bootleggers such as Netflix while you control the most coveted programming (sports, popular originals, top cable series, etc.)?
I know this. The old guard media knows this. Deep down, Reed Hastings even knows this.
That explains his final Hail Mary pass from Netflix: its simultaneously impressive and lame original programming push.
Time Warner (TWX - Get Report) executives and employees, particularly the ones at HBO, must chuckle as Hastings dribbles out originals such as "Hemlock Grove" and "House of Cards." They represent a hope and a prayer of survival in a world where premium outlets such as HBO dominate original programming with hit after hit, year after year. If the originals don't work beyond anybody's expectations (and, possibly, even if they do), Netflix is toast. Disney must be seeing success with its first big TV Everywhere app -- the one that streams ESPN programming -- because it's about to go big by spreading ABC content across platforms alongside an aggressive advertising push. That's the future. One that doesn't involve Netflix. Because there's no reason it should or possibly can. The old guard media doesn't have to buy Netflix. They already effectively own and control it. They allow Netflix to exist on their terms. As those terms evolve to include the old guard streaming more of the content it also owns and controls, it's game over not only for Netflix, but other disparate streamers. Without a novel approach, you're gone. Because of its uniqueness, versatility and strong cash, revenue and profit position, Google (GOOG) might have the best chance at survival in partnership with and in competition against the old guard media.

Is it too big? I use cattle panels and find that trellising cuts down on soil borne disease, so I want a melon with good yield and excellent flavor that I can trellis. I'm in the hot humid don't worry about water zone. Anyone ever trellised Charentais? |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is charentais, please |

maupin, I haven't any experience in trellising melons, but I can't think of a reason why you can't trellis a Charentais melon. You may need some aditional support for each melon. I've seen a pantyhose sling mentioned for melons. The nylon can expand as the melon grows. You can try a melon or two without the sling, to see if they it's necessary. Douglas |

I am going to be trying this variety this year and was wondering the same thing. |
- Posted by Alex26 z6 NM (email@example.com) on Thu, Feb 12, 04 at 11:33
I have trellissed Charentais and several other melons without giving the melons extra support. I only have trouble with them breaking from the stem and falling when they are ripe. |
So there's no need to put a sling under them? I'm growing Charentain on an arch this year. My next challenge is to figure out when they are ripe. I know there was at least one giving off a heady aroma this morning. I had better get to it before the critters do. |

Yes, I have also trellised a 1.5 pound Charentais and even Galia, which was a 3 pounder. I use concrete reinforcing wire with heavy wood stakes. I tend to pick mine the day before they are perfectly ripe. I don't even want to chance it falling on the ground. Luckly, I mulch with compost and leaves, and I always try to keep the soil aerated. So even the few that have fallen weren't too bad. |
I pulled a ripe Charentais today, or at least I hope it is ripe. I first noticed that the stem was dying off, then I noticed the fragrance and that the melon had changed from a white/green to more of a cream color with a slight golden cast to the skin. It also feels a little softer on the blossom end, but not too soft. It only gives a little. With all 3 of those signs, I determined it was most likely ripe. Now I can't wait to try it. It will be my first Charentais. |
