Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Mom's Passing Gift
Location: Otisville MI USA
By: Vicky Zuwala
I was always tagging along with my mom when she would go shopping or visiting with friends and family. I remained close to her, calling her and most times seeing her everyday. Even after I had my children, a girl and boy, and my own home I spent a lot of time with Mom.
My daughter also became very close with my mom. Everyone could tell that Chrissy was the apple of my mom's eye. They had a special connection.
In October of 1991, Mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and went downhill very quickly. I would go fix her dinner and keep her company, doing many of the things she used to do. I just could not phathom that this strong young woman of 51 could die and leave me. I guess that was the biggest feeling I had. She was leaving me.
She made it past Christmas and into March. About a week before my daughter's birthday, Mom went into the hospital to die. She held on as we said Rosaries and she laughed about the leprachaun she saw sitting on the end of her bed. She slipped into a morphine coma and they said she would probably die that day, the day of my daughter's birthday.
I just couldn't have Chrissy's birthday shadowed by that. I didn't want her to remember her birthday as the day her grandma passed away. So I sent her with her dad to see a Brian Adams concert. All that day Mom would start slipping away to only grab on tight and stay alive.
There was a gurgling in her throat that sounded like a song, very continuous and melodic. I have not found that tune yet. I am still looking. But the one thing that did stick out is the unmistakable sound of her calling my daughter's name. By morning, I knew I had to bring my daughter back in to see her.
Just a few minutes after Chrissy arrived and spent time with her, Mom passed breathing out her last spirit freeing breath. I took my kids into the waiting room while they were crying and started to tell them that Grandma was going to go to heaven.
I didn't even get the words out completely when I feel this whoosh inside me like something had just rushed through me and I heard what was a much higher pitch of my mom's voice saying to me, Vicky I am already there! and then she fleeted out of me and around the room in a big swish of opalescent comet like light. I felt the most urgent and sad desire to follow her.
That is the first time I had felt just my soul. She gave me that gift, to see with something other than my physical senses. She gave me the knowledge that what I believed in was true. The story isn't done.
Chrissy was 13 then. When she was 18, she got pregnant. Of course, she was due in early March. But the baby wouldn't come. My daughter went into labor on her birthday to have my grandson the next day, the date my mom passed at almost the same time. Mom was very precious to us and we were given someone else very precious.
This past Tuesday, my daughter gave birth to another son, her third child. He was supposed to be born on December 16, my mom's birthday. Instead he was born on the 13th and will come home tomorrow on mom's birthday.
Happy Birthday Mom. :) I truly believe we are all connected and love follows us. Thank you Mom for my gifts.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Logan, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of free throws by Jabari Sandifer with six seconds remaining broke the fourth tie of the game and helped lead the Western Illinois Leathernecks to a 61-58 win over the Troy Trojans as part of the annual Basketball Travelers Classic at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Sandifer, who added another free throw in the final moments in order to give the Leathernecks (5-6) some separation, shot only 1-of-6 from the floor as he finished with five points off the bench. Adam Link led the way with 24 points and seven rebounds for WIU, followed by Garret Covington and Tate Stensgaard with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
The Trojans (4-6) were paced by Tevin Calhoun who played 24 minutes as a reserve and contributed 14 points, along with five rebounds in the setback. Kevin Thomas made good on 6-of-7 shots from the floor in order to come up with his 13 points, while Hunter Williams knocked down 3-of-6 shots behind the 3- point line towards 12 points.
The largest lead of the night for the Leathernecks was a four-point edge five minutes into the meeting, but the squad shot a disappointing 8-of-25 from the field, including 1-of-8 behind the 3-point line in the first half, en route to a 35-26 deficit at the break.
Shooting 52.6 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes, the Trojans should have had the decision wrapped up, but they made a dismal 1-of-9 at the free-throw line in the second half, compared to 11-of-13 for Western Illinois which used the charity stripe to steal away the win down the stretch.
In addition to shooting a miserable 11-of-25 at the free-throw line, Troy also turned the ball over 15 times on the night.
Both teams will be back in action on Saturday as the Leathernecks battle UC Santa Barbara and Troy goes up against host Utah State in the final round of this event.

4.5 Best Gun of all of them Stpwaddell | 29/02/2012 | See all Stpwaddell's reviews (1) Haveing bought the Venom and another cheap one and being anoyed about having to remove the straps and the movement issuse I bought this official one, ten times better than the rest and worth the extra cost in my opinion.
4.5 A fantastic accessory IF the game controls are set up for it colec6 | 01/02/2011 | See all colec6's reviews (1) Firstly I'd agree with several of the other reviews here (and this goes for any of the gun attachments, not just the Sony offering) that the viability of this attachment entirely depends on the game being played. I found the demo for Time Crisis difficult to play due to the need to use buttons on the top of the move controller during the game. However when using this to play Dead Space Extraction I found it excellent. The navigation controller handles all of the secondary functions leaving the Move controller as a gun alone meaning no requirement to tinker with buttons on the top of the 'gun' while playing.Hardware wise this is a fantastically well made piece of kit. The Move controller fits snugly into the gun body with no detectable movement once in place. The grip is comfortable and the weight good. It also has the distinct advantage of looking like something out of a 50's B movie when in use.I thoroughly recommend this if you're planning on buying a gun attachment and can't wait to play Killzone with it.Chris
4.5 Perfect donnylad25 | 05/11/2010 | See all donnylad25's reviews (8) Works perfect with time crisis razing storm I dont mind using the move button to reload and prefer to hold the move gun with two hands
4.5 Do not buy this to use with time Crisis Razing Storm paddy82222 | 04/11/2010 | See all paddy82222's reviews (3) The gun it self is ok. Thinking back to how responsive the trigger is on time crisis on ps1. This is a step backwords.THE MAIN problem is due to the reload button being on top of the gun. Very unnatural. Holding your other hand on top of the gun is so poor. Time Crisis deliverd today by game. Tradeing it in tomrrow. Never done that with a game in 15 years. If you could reasign the select button as reload. It would be an improvement. Dont make the same error as me. still 3 stars for the gun its ok. goes with my new red ps3 pad as well ....
4.5 Great, better than the other move guns peckers | 02/11/2010 | See all peckers's reviews (60) Simply excellent, great shape and a great feel to the gun. Much better than the other move guns ( cheaper move guns )10 out of 10 from sony
4.5 Just what you'd expect from Sony ForteanJo | 09/10/2010 | See all ForteanJo's reviews (4) This is an excellent attachment that converts the playstation move controller into an accurate weapon that is very satisfying to use. A good build quality combines with a good look and inserting/removing your move controller from it is child's play whilst ensuring you're never worried the controller will come loose.The gun is a good size, making it confortable to use for small hands as well as those of us with larger mitts. There are cheaper alternatives available but this is still well worth the cost.

Kasab Hanging: India sets example of fair trial Last Updated : 21 Nov 2012 04:59:15 PM IST kasab
Hanging Ajmal Kasab to death has closed the chapter that gathered dust for four years. Justice has finally been done to the state in general and to the affected families in particular.
Talking to Samaylive.com Shri Upendra Rai, Editor and News Director , Sahara News Network said that "This incident of my life I will never be able to forget. I was also at the Hotel Oberoi at the time of the attacks and had just walked away five minutes before the firing started. I heard the gunshots soon after and returned from the temple near chaupati".
Shri Rai said that around 156 people lost their lives in the attacks. The long judicial process shows that even a terrorist like Amir Ajmal Kasab who killed so many people and created a mayhem was given ample chance to defend himself in the Indian court of law. Kasab had virtually challanged the unity and integrity of India.
The long trial of Kasab teaches other nations that India is not prejudiced. They should learn from the example set by us. An example of giving oppertunity to defend himself -be it an enemy like Kasab. Kasab was given capital punishment after four long years of the Mumbai attack.Mr Rai also supported the government move of keeping the decision of hanging Amir Ajmal Kasab discreet saying such situations may degenerate into lawlessness at times.
Recounting the days of attack Head of Samaylive.com Shri Durgesh Upadhyaya said that Mumbai wore a look of complete chaos and breakdown. ' I was working with BBC that time and as we came out of our Bandra office we saw a Mumbai vastly changed and hugely terror-stricken.
The hanging of Kasab is a victory for Indian Judiciary, a victory for Mumbai police and of course a victory for the people of India, he added. But most of all it reflects the India ethos of giving chance to defend one self even if he is an enemy. Mr Upadhaya added.

Super Choice was introduced in 2005 to give eligible employees the ability to choose which fund their super contributions are paid to.
These four steps outline your obligations under Super Choice law as an employer.
If your employees do not choose a fund, you must pay their super contributions into your default fund - sometimes called your employer fund – which needs to meet the statutory death benefit insurance requirements set out by Super Choice legislation.
Find out more about choosing your default fund
Your employees can generally choose their super fund if they are:
Your employees may not be eligible to choose a super fund if:
Some federal and state public sector employees are also excluded from choice of superannuation.
If you are not sure what award or industrial agreement, if any, an employee is covered by visit fairwork.gov.au or phone the workplace relations department in your state or territory.
If your employees are eligible for Super Choice, to meet your legal obligations, you'll need to keep records showing that:
If you fail to meet your Super Choice obligations you will be liable for the choice shortfall.
The choice shortfall is part of the SG Charge and is applied when you have paid SG contributions to a complying super fund for your employee, but not to the Fund chosen by your employee.
The choice shortfall is not tax deductible and is 25% of the contributions that are paid to the wrong fund limited to $500 for a notice period per employee.
This penalty also applies if you haven't given your employee a standard choice form within 28 days of the commencement of their employment.

Jason Reynolds, author of 2014's When I Was the Greatest, returns with a new teen novel, The Boy in the Black Suit. Reynolds, a graduate of the University of Maryland at College Park, moved to Brooklyn after college, which is where both his novels are set. The Boy in the Black Suit follows Matthew Miller, a 17-year-old Brooklyn native whose mother dies shortly before the book begins.
Up until his mother's death, Matt has lead a fairly happy life; despite some violence in his neighborhood, his family life has always been happy, until his mother's death. As he grieves, Matt tries to deal with how differently his friends, classmates and teachers treat him. Meanwhile, his home life falls apart as his father turns to alcohol to numb the pain of losing his wife. However, when Mr. Ray, the owner of the local funeral home, offers Matt an after-school job, things begin to turn around. Matt can't explain it, but he likes working at the funeral home — he can identify with the grief-stricken loved ones who stream in and out. That is until Lovey comes to the funeral home. Matt can't understand her reaction to the loss of her grandmother, and he is fascinated by her. As the two spend more and more time together, Matt learns more about his grief and the grief of others.
The Boy in the Black Suit puts readers into the head of a teenager who is facing a truly difficult situation. Matt's story is one that readers will find relatable, while secondary characters like Lovey and Mr. Ray are equally interesting and add another layer to the novel.
Amy McCulloch is an editorial director for a children's publisher, so while this is her debut as a novelist, she is no stranger to the writing process. It's clear from this novel that she carefully constructed a young adult series that weaves together mysticism, intrigue and suspense.
The Oathbreaker's Shadow is the first in McCulloch's The Knots Duology. This introductory novel is set in a fantasy world where a person's oath is their soul and the consequences of going back on your word have a devastating effect. It's the very foundation of the world's structure and is infused in every decision each character makes.
Raim, the protagonist, is from a nomadic tribe of goat herders and has been raised as a warrior apprentice since he was 7. He was just a baby when he was given an oath that he wears as a knot around his wrist — a reminder of a promise he cannot remember. It's this oath, made long before his memories start, which holds a mystery that could unravel his well-planned future or be the answer that saves a kingdom.
This historical fantasy is a fast-paced whirlwind of a ride that will leave you eager for more. Its sequel The Shadow's Curse, though already published in Canada and the UK, does not yet have a publication date for the US. After The Oathbreaker's Shadow, you won't be able to wait for its release.
Age and ability share a unique relation in fiction. Sometimes authors choose to write prodigious characters who display impressive physical prowess and struggle with complicated emotions earlier in life. In his debut novel If I Fall, If I Die, author Michael Christie pits 11-year-old protagonist Will against the sprawled, dilapidated Canadian port town of Thunder Bay.
Will's childhood has been squandered within the confines of his home, due to his mother's plethora of phobias. A former artist, Will's mother is so afraid of what exists beyond her front door that she cloisters herself and her son within their dwelling. Will stews in his room painting abstract art while nursing a burgeoning curiosity of the Outside, about which everything he knows is cobbled from brief interactions with delivery men on the porch. One such meeting with a boy named Marcus opens Will's eyes to the omnipotent wonders of the woods beyond his yard, and leaves him yearning for adventure into town. Exceptionally wily thanks to his mother's unique homeschooling methods, Will finds every opportunity to venture further into the world with his only friend Jonah, resorting to his recently acquired and rapidly evolving sense of perspective as a heading.
Readers will delight in Christie's frequent and masterful use of similes throughout If I Fall, If I Die as they color Will's Wizard of Oz-esque quest for humanity. A debut that reads as beautifully as it echoes, If I Fall, If I Die is for readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories or tales of adventure. Readers who enjoyed Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian will see shades of Junior in Will, and will definitely like his story too.
Victoria Laurie doesn't just write about mediums. In addition to being a New York Times bestselling author, Laurie does psychic readings as well. One of her new novels, When, hits close to home with a story about a girl who sees the date someone is going to die, just by looking at them.
It's unfortunate that Maddie didn't understand what those numbers were in time to let her father know. She is now being raised by her mother who has become a severe alcoholic after her husband's murder. In order to help support the family, Maddie's mother sets up appointments where she can do readings for people who want to know when they or a family member will pass away.
While doing a reading, Maddie has to give a client sad news, and is met with skepticism and disregard. In an effort to help her client's child, she calls to repeat her plea to keep her son close on his death date. When the boy goes missing, Maddie comes under scrutiny as the prime suspect, and rumors about her involvement run rampant through her school, making her life miserable.
Laurie has created a fast-paced thriller that is hard to put down. When is a character driven novel sure to entice not only young adults, but anyone looking for a page-turner in the same vein as The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
The most prestigious awards for teen and children's literature were announced by the American Library Association (ALA) in Chicago today. Awards were given in a wide range of categories that covered all formats and age levels. You can find a complete list of awards, winners and honorees on the ALA website.
The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. This year's winner is The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend written and illustrated by Dan Santat. This beautifully illustrated tender tale of one imaginary friend waiting patiently to be picked by a child will captivate young readers with its creative spark.
The oldest of the medals awarded, the John Newbery Medal, is awarded to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. This year's medal recipient is Kwame Alexander for The Crossover, a novel in verse sharing the coming-of-age story of twins Josh and Jordan and their changing lives on and off the basketball court.
The Michael L. Printz Award annually honors the best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit. This year's winner is I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, the story of twins (again!) Noah and Jude, their fractured relationship and attempt to recover what they once had.
The Coretta Scott King Awards are given to outstanding African-American authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults that demonstrate an appreciation of African-American culture and universal human values. Christopher Myers received the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award for his vibrant collage combinations of paint, paper and photographed elements which bring to life the inspirational story of a budding ballerina in Firebird, written by Misty Copeland. Jacqueline Woodson, already the recipient of the National Book Award, was awarded the Coretta Scott King Author Award for Brown Girl Dreaming, her lyrical novel in verse of her childhood in the 1960s and 1970s.
Check out the winners and honorees at BCPL!
Unlike Gayle Forman's previous two-book series (If I Stay/Where She Went and Just One Day/Just One Year,) I Was Here, is a standalone novel. Nevertheless, it feels very much like her previous novels. I Was Here is heartbreaking and beautifully written, with characters that are relatable. The novel begins after the funeral for Cody's best friend Meg, who partway through her freshman year of college commits suicide. Cody and Meg had been almost inseparable since they became friends in kindergarten, and now Cody, left behind, must figure out how to deal with the loss of her best friend and her guilt at not being able to stop Meg before it was too late.
After graduating from high school, Cody and Meg began to drift apart as Meg left their small Northwestern town to attend college in Tacoma, Washington on a scholarship, and Cody stayed behind to go to community college. Cody felt like their friendship was changing, which only adds to her guilt when she receives Meg's goodbye email. When Meg's parents ask Cody to go to her dorm room and bring her things home, Cody sees it as a request she can't deny. There Cody meets Meg's former roommates and begins to discover more about her recent life which sets her on a journey to find out why Meg made the decision to end her life.
I Was Here is a heartbreaking story of young adults dealing with friendship, love, loss and guilt. Forman again deals with difficult issues like depression and suicide. Best for older readers, I Was Here is a strong follow-up to Forman's other novels.
One day during their senior year, Theodore Finch and Violet Markey find each other on the bell tower at their Indiana high school, each contemplating ending their lives. Violet saves Finch or Finch saves Violet (that part is unclear to both them and the reader), but what is important is that they both leave the bell tower alive and now their lives are inextricably linked. Jennifer Niven's All the Bright Places tells the story of Finch and Violet's lives after that fateful day.
Violet's life has been forever changed since her sister died in a car accident that she survived. Since the accident, she hasn't been herself — refusing to drive in cars, not writing, disengaging from her friends and ending up at the bell tower with Finch. Finch goes through periods of days or weeks when he shuts down and sleeps, but when he's awake, life isn't much better. He's abused by his father who has left his family for a "better" one, and everyone at school thinks he's a freak, so he spends his time thinking about death and ways he could commit suicide. But after the bell tower, Finch and Violet begin spending more time together — initially because they're working on a school project together that has them wandering around Indiana, but eventually because they find they help each other grow.
All the Bright Places is "the story of a boy called Finch and a girl named Violet," but it's also a beautifully told story of grief, depression and finding yourself again. Niven has written a powerful, heartbreaking, romantic novel that is difficult to put down. All the Bright Places is set to become a film starring Elle Fanning.
Journalist, novelist and activist Cory Doctorow has teamed up with illustrator and cartoonist Jen Wang to create an unprecedented graphic novel about a girl gamer who discovers real social issues lurking behind the colorful facade of her favorite online world. In Real Life is one of the first books written for the burgeoning audience of self-identifying girl gamers, which is growing at an exponential rate as more girls — and women — embrace their passion for gaming.
Anda, the heroine of In Real Life, enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with her friends during their lunch period, kicks butt in her Python computer programming class and walks the high school halls worrying more about surviving a tough boss fight than she does about staying fashionably relevant. With her mother's blessing (and credit card), she delves into the digital world of Coarsegold Online and becomes totally enthralled, allying herself with a guild of other like-minded girl gamers. Quests call Anda and a feisty guildmate to a hidden verdant enclave lousy with gold farmers — players who repeatedly collect valuable items to sell to other players for real money. Anda and her friend defeat the illicit farmers and take their items and gold to stymie the questionable practice.
Initially, Anda is excited to be completing quests and leveling up her character, but after a gold farmer shows some compassion and helps her obtain a rare item, she begins to ponder the consequences of her actions. Who are the other players behind these foreign avatars? Why do they congregate in droves and move around in secrecy? What does "Ni Hao" mean? And most importantly, what happens when they're killed and lose their farming progress?
Doctorow's purpose-driven storyline presents many social issues that may be unknown to people who have yet to be acquainted with online gaming, and Wang's adorable artwork inspires a world teeming with vibrant beauty and softens the blow of an otherwise rough reality check. In Real Life is a great read for anyone who enjoys young adult graphic novels, and is essential for MMO and gaming fanatics.
One of Shane Burcaw's biggest goals was getting people to see past his disability. It's fair to say he accomplishes that and more in his candid new memoir, Laughing at My Nightmare. Even the title suggests some of the self-deprecating humor that helps shape the amusing but bittersweet tone of Burcaw's story. Saddled with spinal muscular atrophy at age 2, the 21-year-old has been in a wheelchair his whole life, but that's not what this young man's story is about. It's about figuring out how to live a life as close to normal and sharing his daily successes and failures along the way.
There is no cure for Burcaw's condition. His body does not produce the enzyme necessary for producing and maintaining muscle tissue. His body is failing him, but he refuses to fail his body. Disease aside, the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, native is just a normal guy. He hangs out with his buddies, admits to liking girls and goofs off playing video games. The difference is he depends on others to do everything for him, from dressing to toileting. He has a hard time when it comes to fitting in with others with disabilities. The fact that he doesn't want sympathy comes through loud and clear.
Burcaw shares his experiences through his blog, (also called "Laughing at My Nightmare"), where humor is an integral component. He figured there were people out there who would want to know what life for a severely disabled person is like. So he starts writing about sex, fear of dying, questions about God. Before he knew it, he had several thousand followers and was soon embarking on a national tour to raise money and awareness for his disease. Burcaw's story is not without its somber moments. With short chapters, black and white photos and text bubbles, he manages to strike just the right chord for what he is trying to accomplish. "What if we traveled to schools and talked about humor and positivity?" he says, "We could help kids see that life is what they made it." Teens and adults will find much to like in Burcaw's heartfelt journey.
My True Love Gave to Me is a collection of 12 holiday stories from young adult authors like Rainbow Rowell, Stephanie Perkins, Laini Taylor and David Levithan, among others. Each story is unique — some are realistic, romantic stories set at Christmas or New Year's Eve celebrations, others are fantasy stories filled with elves or set in far-off lands. They're all sure to put readers in the holiday mood!
Though each story is delightful, Stephanie Perkins' "It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown" was my personal favorite. Perkins, who is also the editor of My True Love Gave to Me, brings holiday romance into readers' lives with Marigold and North's story. When Marigold buys a tree at North's family Christmas tree lot, he agrees to help her carry the tree across the street to her apartment, not knowing the night of adventures this decision will bring. Other stories deal with lesser known holiday traditions, like Holly Black's "Krampuslauf" about a group of teenagers who live in a town who have an annual celebration for "Saint Nick's creepy buddy, the Krampus." Gayle Forman's "What the hell have you done, Sophie Roth?" follows Sophie, a freshman at a college in the middle of nowhere, who is sad to be away from her mother on the last night of Hanukkah. Other stories are totally fantastical, like Laini Taylor's "The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer," set on the Isle of Feathers, where a girl named Neve must face the Advent traditions of her home.
Perkins did a wonderful job editing a diverse group of stories dealing with holiday traditions both real and imaginary. My True Love Gave to Me is a great holiday read, especially for those looking to find new teen authors to enjoy in the future. As an added bonus, make sure to pay close attention to the cover, as you can see the couples from each of the stories!

Jessica Lee Is My New Hero
What did you write as your quote in your high school yearbook? I seriously can't remember mine, but I know it was most definitely not as amazing as Garfield High School graduating senior Jessica Lee's. Lee, a chemistry nerd, created a secret message in her yearbook with the help of a bunch of elements from…

Astrology 101: High School Yearbook Awards For Each Sign
It's the most hotly anticipated section of any high school yearbook: the superlatives, or "Most Likely To..." pages, where classmates laud each other for achievements ranging from amazing hair to likelihood of winning a Nobel Peace Prize. We thought it would be fun to give out some of these classic awards to each zodiac sign.

I Was Voted "Most Likely To __________" In High School
Leo Epstein: "Most likely to become a billionaire recluse a la Willy Wonka." This is what I was voted in my high school yearbook. Although, now that I think about it, to be "voted" this title seems highly unlikely, and my guess is that the 2003 yearbook editor took some very generous editorial liberties i…

Rockstar Games has released an "official trailer" for Grand Theft Auto V (so all of the other trailers they released were unofficial?) A more fitting description would be that this is a story trailer. It shows that the affluent Michael is drawn back into the world of heists by his crazy former partner Trevor, and that they're joined by fellow criminal Franklin. The comedy and action we've come to expect from GTA is on full display, and I assume this will be the trailer that they'll start airing on television since the game's release is only a few weeks away.
Hit the jump to check out the new trailer. Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17th. Click here to pre-order the Xbox 360 version, and click here to pre-order the PlayStation 3 version.
Via Rockstar Games.
Here's the official synopsis for Grand Theft Auto V:
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.

wallmate electrical outlet
Since I am using a similar product (slotted pink XPS from HD)...does this sound right: WallMate instructions reccomend using a 1 X 3 fur strip OR a 2 X 3 Fur Strip to allow space for wiring if desired. Do they really sell 2 X 3s or are you to but 2 1 X 3s together?
They then appear to say its *OK* to cut a piece of wood the size of an outlet box (pt wood I assume????) and fasten the wood directly to the concrete wall. You then cut a hole in the XPS to accomadate the wood. You then mount the XPS and then mount an electrical box (platic I assume) to the wood. The 2 X 3 fur strip has left space to drop a wire down to the box. Does this sound right? Up to code? Safe? A poor practice?
I am unusre how you would run wire from one box across to another in this case, maybe you don't...does the wiring typically drop from the basement ceiling to each box?
I can see benefits:
The 1/2" of space between the drywall and foam would make for better insulation...I would think
It is less work than framing! (if yours wall are plumb)
It takes up less space than the XPS + Framing.
What are the downsides?
Is this up to code?
Less insulation than adding framing and fg.
Note the area I am doing has 2 walls, one about 28' that will starts at the bottom of the stairs and runs 10' then becomes an 8' closet. I need no outlets in this vicinty. The last 10 or so feet I'd need an outlet. Perpendicular to that would be a 12' wall where I'd desire at least 2 more outlets. It was these final 8 and 12 foot sections where I had planned to XPS and then frame in front of....but if the xps goes up plumb, maybe I do not need to...?
Thanks again for all the help, ideas and reccomendations.
The National Electrical Code requires either a 1.25" separation from the wall surface or mechanical protection of the cable as with a conduit; BX (armoured cable) may be permitted locally. You should be able to run the electrical in the 1/2" space created by the furring. Or use surface-mounted systems on top of the finished wall.
From where you supply a feed to the new receptacles depends on how many outlets will be on the total connected circuit.
While I do my own wiring to professional standards, as attested by Provincial inspection, I won't attempt to instruct anyone on how to wire anything. It's just too dangerous. If you're not familiar with home wiring, take a course or hire a qualified electrician.
..can always count you worthy!
I am NOT wiring anything!!!! I need to have things in place for the electrician though, ie boxes in place etc.
It sounds like the outlet box need to be 1.25" from the concrete. Wallmate has it 1/2" away the way I read it.
Are you saying I CAN mount the box 1/2" from the wall but the electrician will need to use the wiring with the metal conduit over it?
Is the wiring much more expensive? I guess my real question is am I better off just framing in front of the Wallmate in the areas I want outlets. (i'd prefer not to have surface outlets and conduit.
It amazing all the detail that goes into something like this....and waht you learn. I was in Lowes and needed to pick up some more 1 X 3s. All my prior were bought at HD. I got them home and noticed the quality for inferior to the ones at HD. They were straighter but the wood was much more flexible and seemed rougher and less dense. I have no idea if it matters but evedently I should look at the product more carefully, HD's are likely not fur strips but something else which explains why they were about .30 more expensive I guess.
It sounds like the outlet box need to be 1.25" from the concrete. Wallmate has it 1/2" away the way I read it.
Wallmate is correct. What has to be 1.25" away from the drywall is the wiring, unless it's protected. Your electrician will know what form of protection is acceptable in your jurisdiction. (I'm assuming this is done to Code.)
I guess my real question is am I better off just framing in front of the Wallmate in the areas I want outlets.
As I've posted before, the drawback to Wallmate is the special attention that has to be paid to electrical services on the wall. You have to be sure the boxes will not protrude past the surface of the finished wall and you have to protect the wiring by using armoured cable (AC) conduit or other protection. (Though you can router out a channel in the Wallmate for wiring, that would seem to be self-defeating.)
All that strapping is more like firewood than lumber! Try to get pieces that are just out of the shipping wraps, stack them in your basement and get them on the wall before they turn into skis! Don't hesitate to cut off curved portions. It doesn't have to look pretty, just has to hold the insulation and provide a base for attaching the drywall.
With more foam thickness, I guess there's more flexibility as far as routing the wire channels, depth of boxes, etc.. I'm still slowly doing the rim joist, but here's a pic of the second layer of insulation, with a channel milled to go over the strapping that's holding on the 2" of foam next to the concrete. Still not sure how it'll work with the drywall though.
I'm not sure why you didn't just strap over two layers of foam at once using 6" Tapcons; and then cut out where you want electrical boxes.
Still, you'll have a warm cozy basement when you're done.
I don't know. Today's overkill=tomorrow's standard.
I have a feeling that 4" of sprayed foam on the 9' walls of my 1000 ft2 basement wouldn't have been too cheap. Would've been faster though. :)
I'm still working on putting the xps in the rim joist area and found a pretty good chunk of ice in one of the bays tonight. The fiberglass was just stuffed in the bay, unfaced. I guess it eventually dries out when the temps warm up, and I didn't not see any damage in this 4 year old house, but it was still an eyeopener for me.
I am not familiar with the Wallmate system. But electrical boxes are permitted to project out from finished wall surfaces or even to be surface mounted. Fastening electrical boxes directly to concrete/masonry walls is done routinely.
Shallow wall boxes can be used in the wall with Wiremold steel boxes used as surface extensions, no surface raceway used. The Wiremold boxes add to the (cubic inch) volume of the assembly and help achieve the required volume for conductor fill.
The Wiremold site is not so easy to use, but boxes for the 500 and 700 Series raceway would work. Not the most attractive, but completely functional.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wiremold
"...you have to protect the wiring by using armoured cable (AC) conduit or other protection."
AC requires the same protection as NM.
Anything in bored holes within 1.25 of the face of the wood needs a plate at least 1/16 inch thick.
AC is not especially nail or screw resistant when trapped in a bored hole.
Even EMT has protection issues depending on the AHJ.
About the only thing that is considered nail and screw proof is rigid metal conduit, basically it is steel pipe threaded together.

EnvironmentRestoring Kazakhstan's Aral Sea & eco earthships Green living in carbon-neutral, off-grid 'earthships'; and the return of the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan. Earthrise | 21 Jul 2012 07:46 GMT | Environment, Latin America, Australia, Haiti, United Kingdom From this Episode Earthships Aral Sea Reborn The arid New Mexico desert is home to a cluster of unusual buildings called 'earthships' – environmentally sustainable, self-sufficient homes made using recycled and natural materials. They represent the life's work of Mike Reynolds, a radical architect who is passionate about proving that truly green building design can work. Each of his earthships heat and cool themselves, harvest their own water and use plants to treat their sewage, with soil-packed discarded tyres making up the main building material. The ideal earthship is entirely carbon neutral.The basic versions of these earthquake-resistant buildings can cost as little as $4,000, and can be built quickly using local waste materials, making them ideal for post-disaster areas. More than 1,000 earthships have been built around the world, from Australia to Haiti to Southern England.Russell Beard visits the original earthship community in New Mexico, to meet the big thinker behind these ground-breaking buildings. The almost complete disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia, once the world's fourth largest lake, is one of mankind's greatest environmental blunders. But the North Aral is now being revived, thanks to measures such as improved water management, fish reintroduction programmes and the 13-kilometre Kok-Aral dam.The size of the North Aral Sea has increased by more than 50 per cent compared to its lowest point. Salinity has decreased, several fish species have returned and the fish catch has increased 10-12 times. Robin Forestier-Walker ventures into the vast Aral region to find out how the project is working.Source: Al Jazeera
