Modern Mythic Parallels: Fey vs. Grey
My troythuluness just loves folklore, especially the traditional kind involving various sorts of supernatural beings, as well as modern tales of the paranormal. I've noticed some interesting parallels between the lore of the Wee Folk and those of modern science-fiction and popular UFO mythology.
No, don't worry, I'm not gonna go all Sir A.C. Doyle on you and profess to a belief in the literal existence of faeries, as I have certain standards to maintain. Despite the content and tone of my last April Fool's post, this is still a skeptical blog, so chill.
I've noticed a lot of similarity between the various tales told concerning the Fair Folk, and those accounts people have given of UFO abductions and sightings, these things the same in structure and generalities, and differing only in the cultural context, the trappings that they use.
It appears that only the window-dressing differs. Yes, those 'classic' and ever-popular Failures of the Human Imagination™, the alien Greys that all too commonly and banally populate the UFO literature are simply the Good Neighbors repackaged and given a new lease on life in today's world, as are many of the earlier aliens of science-fiction.
What is the essential distinction, for example, between people being taken to the Land of Faerie while alone, and the typical Barney-and-Betty-Hill style abduction scenario, also of physically isolated people, other than the cosmetic details? I would hasten to say none at all. Both, for example, involve the subjects being somehow incapacitated (by faerie magic or alien technology…), taken away to a strange place while in this state, often interacting in some fashion with their captors (whether as interviewees, guests, or test subjects…)and both involve the story element of "missing time."
There's also a lot of similarity between the relatively diminutive size of (not always, but over the last couple of decades, most commonly in the popular consciousness…)the aliens and that of some of the more 'elfin' Fay, such as the Bogans and the ever popular (and not evil, but dangerously indifferent to the human condition…)Dark Grey Man, the Bodach Glas of the British Isles, or the more malignant Duergar, or Grey Dwarves.
Many of these beings are depicted in both tradition and modern fantasy fiction as being psychologically alien to humans, displaying at times behavior that seems bizarre by most mundane standards, as do the seemingly dispassionate Greys when they are claimed to eviscerate random livestock, press intricate designs in grain fields in oddly futile attempts to 'communicate' with us, or subject humans to embarrasing medical experiments, none of these for any apparent logical reason.
I could go on with further points of similarity, but I think you get the idea. It seems apparent to me that this is just one piece in a larger picture showing that the UFO phenomenon is much more likely to be a psycho-cultural one than it would be truly extraterrestrial in nature. It seems to be a phenomenon that has been with us for a very long time in one form or another, and the devil is in the details. Very cool, and very interesting indeed.

The short but powerful article on mythic parallels was interesting indeed. In my book, "How Modern Society Invented UFOs" published through amazon.com, I devote a considerable amount of pages to how the beliefs of extraordinary beings from magical realms developed into extraterrestrials from outer space. The Cold War intensified into a space race with the Soviets. There are those that believe in aliens to be interdimensional instead. This theory was convienient for the aliens. Rather than travel from such a far distant planet, the aliens simply step into our world from a nearby intersecting dimension. UFO mythology changed over time. Aliens were peace-loving beings with blond hair and blue eyes during the 1950's, which would give way to the bulbous, bald, grey aliens, with big wrap-around eyes, who abduct humans to conduct medical experiments with the purpose of human-alien hybridization. The view of the quasi-spiritual aliens went into competition with the view of malevolent beings towards the approach of the new millenium. The post-WWII era has been perceived with fear, suspicion, and confusion to name a few, although a societal shift was already taking place before hand with the rise of secularism and science. In our modern times, some looked to the skies for answers, like those who have looked to the sky gods of ancient times, or more like in the modern-Christian West, revered angels and while fearing demons. Whether viewed as benovelent or demonic, exterrestrials are the new beings of the space age with extraordinary powers. I suspect the UFO myth won't go away and will change as time passes on.

Pac-Man Fever, Walking With Wiis, and Cut-Price Candy: What We Learned At Nerdist This Week
By Perry Michael Simon on April 22, 2011
One of the year's most important candy-buying days is here. What? No, not Easter itself. I'm talking about Monday, of course.
Anyone who truly appreciates the greatness that is your basic commercial grocery-store-bought candy understands that the best time to buy is the day after a major candy-related holiday. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter… it's the day after those holidays that you get the bargains. Stores don't want to be stuck with cases of M&M Peanuts in festive Easter colors and rabbit-festooned wrappers. Their looming sales disaster is your savings bonanza.
But it's too easy to be indiscriminate and buy just anything when it's 40 to 60% off. Herewith, an abbreviated guide to what you'll find when Monday rolls around:
First, get there early. And if the signs offer 25% or 30% off, walk out. That's pretty much regular price. If you're seeing 40% or more, it's time to shop.
Second, no to the Peeps. Sorry. I know some people swear by them, but that's just because everyone THINKS they're supposed to like Peeps. Peeps taste like sponges caked in Drano. Bitter, caustic Drano. They are to play with and pose in little tableaux that you photograph and post on your Facebook page. They are not to eat.
Also, anything with a licensed cartoon character on it is likely to be substandard. You can love Spongebob all you want, but it's best to assume the worst about Easter-themed Gummy Krabby Patties.
But this is what you want: Your better familiar name brand bars in holiday themed wrappers. What that means is that it's the same high-quality Snickers or M&Ms or Reese's, in similar form or quantities, only because they're labeled "Easter" or "Holiday," they're priced to sell. Load up on these. Seriously. They'll last. And if they have M&Ms cheap, load up, although I won't be doing that anymore. Seems that they now put the calorie count right on the front of the packages in big numbers, and that's something I really didn't want thrown in my face. I always knew that the handful of Peanut M&Ms I was jamming into my face was just pure bad-for-me; I just don't like to see it right there on the front. I'd rather be blissfully unaware. Now, it's ruined.
Cadbury Mini-Eggs are my favorites, though, because they're just good chocolate (and, yes, I know, American Cadbury tastes different from British and Australian and other Cadbury versions, and I've had them all and I like them all, so lay off) coated in candy that just provides a satisfying crunch. And you can't get them outside the Easter season. What? Creme Eggs? No, no, no. My friend Greg, who just happens to be on the bill for next Wednesday's comedy spectacular at NerdMelt, was a longtime aficionado of the Creme Egg, going so far as to include it in his act. He insisted that it represented the apex of candy and of life itself. But not for me — too sweet, and too gooey. You can't eat one without wearing it. Go for the Mini-Eggs: Chocolate goodness without the messy residue.
So, get on over to your local grocery or drug store Monday morning bright and early. Bring a wheelbarrow. Remember, this will have to last until the day after Halloween.
But that's not the only education you've gotten here this week. To wit:
1. We saw some amazing time-lapse video from Mount Teide in Spain; it didn't look real, but it was.
2. We played the World's Biggest Pac-Man Game. Unless the boss walked by our desks. Then we were working on a spreadsheet.
3. Chris talked to Andy Samberg. They got along jus' fine.
4. Kumail Nanjiani bought some comics at Meltdown. Asterix, to be precise.
5. Video games aren't just for playing games or watching Netflix. They're helping kids to walk.
6. We said farewell to Sarah Jane.
7. Jay saw Scream 4. Or Scre4m. Whatever.
8. It turned out that if you took Barbie's proportions and made them into a real-sized person, she'd look, um, odd. Or she'd get a job as a weatherperson on local TV news.
9. Weird Al did a song parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." He asked for permission. She said no. And then she didn't say now. Joy swept across the land.
10. Another X-Men: First Class trailer showed up and received careful scrutiny.
11. A new trailer for Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald's Life In a Day came out and intrigued everyone who recalled when they asked people to send in video of what they were doing last July 24th.
12. Chris sang "Zombie" in a touching tribute to The Cranberries, while Brent Weinbach dropped by to play some 8-bit tunes. Why, yes, it was another Hostful Podcast.
13. What's coming up at NerdMelt? Music, comedy, and writers. You should be there.
14. Some scientists did horrible things to Cadbury Creme Eggs. It's science, so it's allowed.
15. Matthew Bone introduced us to the art of Cory Arcangel, who uses the language of video games and Photoshop to create challenging installations and paintings.
16. If you don't get excited by the words "Peter Serafinowicz directed this video," you need to go catch up with not just the video but one of the most inventive comic minds out there. I mean, he was even good in Hardware.
17. And some show has its new season debut on Saturday. Chris even talked to the cast and writer. It's kind of a big deal.
But the most important thing was what came before Monday, Chris' special message about how he changed his life and how you can too. It was pure motivation, without the preachiness or any connections to any programs. He just gave you the key to making your life go the way you want it to go. If you didn't get off your ass and get moving when you read it last Sunday, go read it again and get moving right now. Go. Do it. It will make your burrito that much more enjoyable. Have a great weekend, and if there's, oh, I don't know, some TV show that you want to discuss, you can do it in the comments below.
They never seem to have discount holiday candy in Hawaii. I don't know if they ship it all back to civilized states or what, but it makes me sad knowing I can't pay less for candy just because the label refers to yesterday.
Those fondant eggs have actually shrunk to the point where you can just jam an entire one into your mouth without having to deal with the goo everywhere. (That is, at least in the US? I don't know if other countries retained the proper size.)
hey, im a nerdist fan from vancouver. I just got back from the childish Gambino show. D Glover is absolutely amazing. His short show was seriously something else. I was seriously upset by A) the merch dude wrapping it up way too quick as i would have bought more than just the one shirt i got and B) the fact that the friend i went with needed to leave shortly after and i didnt get a chance to tell the man himself how awesome his show was. if anyone reading this is in one of the upcoming tour spots i am telling you your insignificant investment will be oh so worth it.
get sloppy drunk, i stay whiskey neat
Oh. My. God. That certain t.v. show's first episode for the new series is insane…how to make it until next week is a question I can certainly not answer.
So you're going to write a guide on scoring cheap Easter candy, and right out of the gate you're going to trash on Peeps and after that Creme Eggs? You lost me.

Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD Overview
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD is an awesome AutoCAD plug-in designed for AutoCAD users who need to import and manage spatial data in a simple, fast and inexpensive way, which includes many possibilities not seen so far in AutoCAD.
It comes in a lightweight application that runs inside AutoCAD and that allows the user to import geospatial data from spatial files, or spatial data servers, into AutoCAD drawings
AutoCAD import
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD imports spatial data, into new or existing AutoCAD drawings, as AutoCAD objects and Extended Entity Data (EED/XDATA), using a powerful wizard which lets the user choose or select all the necessary import parameters in order to get differentiated spatial information in a CAD drawing.
Automatic layering, fill of polygons, blocks including mapped attributes, are only part of the application functionality when importing from spatial files, data servers, data stores, etc.
Transformation of coordinates
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD will calculate geometric transformations of the features in line with the import processes, which will depend on the chosen Coordinate System (CRS) for the source and target (drawing) data.
The user can choose the appropriate CRSs from a complete CRS catalog or from a list including the most recent used CRSs.
User data sources
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD incorporates the UDS technology to easily connect with spatial database servers, or data stores, and also as the way the user can define the path to a particular spatial data file, including their own connection parameters.
UDSs avoid having to enter a lot of connection parameters, which are not easy to remember, and they are stored inside the user settings to take advantage of them in every application session.
Runs in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Map 3D and others
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD is not only compatible with AutoCAD but also with other AutoCAD based applications such as AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Architecture, etc.
See current Compatible AutoCAD applications...

12:11- Time for Ohio State and Dayton, Brutus and the Buckeye Cheerleaders within an Arms length, crowd filing in and seems to be more Dayton fans than Ohio State. Aaron Craft gets loudest cheer and Boo of any starters announced. "Let's GO FLYERS" emanating throughout arena.
12:20: Dayton starts off slow then hits a big 3 to start off their scoring, pace his picked up heading into the under 16 timeout. Excellent pace to start this game, Dayton big man leaking behind Buckeye defenders.
12:30- Under 12 timeout, pace has slowed down slightly, Dayton's interior defense having trouble with OSU's driving guards, Dayton big men have been pretty powerful on the offense though, 17-13 Dayton.
12:40- Aaron Craft starting to make his presence known, Dayton continues to struggle top him, meanwhile Dayton's Matt Kavanaugh leads all scoring with 7. Buckeyes up 22-21.
12:55- Incredible pace as Dayton opened up a 5 point lead. There have been no whistles since the 4 minute mark, end to end action.
12:59- Halftime at the FNC, Dayton shooting only 50% but it feels like its much higher, Only 13 minutes for big man Matt Kavanaugh but he leads the team in scoring with 9 points. On the other side Aaron Craft perfect from the field and line with 9 points as well, but he has 4 turnovers in addition. Should be a fun second half. Also the Ohio State band is killing it, they just rocked the Space Jam theme, they definitely lived up to the hype.

UK & World News
Primodos Row: Watchdog Took Years To Warn GPs
The Government medicines watchdog took years to warn doctors about a pregnancy test drug that may have caused deformities in babies in the womb, Sky News has learned.
The drug Primodos, a hormone pregnancy test, was prescribed by GPs across England in the 1960s and 70s - and was taken by 1.5 million British women.
But Sky News has found it was not licenced to be used in pregnancy after 1970 amid concerns about its effect on the foetus.
Freedom of Information Requests to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) revealed letters were written to doctors - but not until five years later in 1975 when a warning was also placed on the packet.
Then called the Committee on Safety of Medicines, the watchdog warned GPs of concerns about "an increased incidence of congenital abnormalities" in babies born to women who took the drug.
They wrote: "On the present evidence, the Committee believe that it is possible that the use of these preparations for the diagnosis of pregnancy could on occasion lead to abnormalities of the foetus."
Even after this, thousands of prescriptions were given to women until 1977 when the Committee sent a second letter to GPs saying the association had been confirmed. After this prescriptions ceased.
However, the MHRA said in a statement: "We do not hold any such letters and are not aware that any were sent by the CSM about Primodos or hormone pregnancy tests at that time. Nor are we able to comment on whether a letter should have been sent."
For years campaigners with deformities allegedly caused by the drug have challenged the German drug company Shearing, now owned by Bayer, to accept responsibility. The company however insists no link has been shown.
Three years ago Sky News conducted an exclusive investigation speaking to retired researchers who originally raised concerns about the drug.
One of them, Dr Isobel Gal who conducted research at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in Surrey, told Sky News how she spent a decade trying to persuade people of the link.
Documents seen by Sky News, that have been sealed in the National Archives for 30 years, show CSM officials admitted they made mistakes while rudely dismissing Ms Gal and her research.
They, along with other letters about the drug, were found by an alleged victim of Primodos, Nichola Walton, who suffers from stomach and spinal abnormalities.
She said: "They've covered so many things up so many times. So many victims have already passed.
"So many parents have buried their children and they've not been able to see the evidence. They've not been able to explain. I just think it is appalling."
In a statement Bayer, which took over Shering, told Sky News: "UK litigation in respect of Primodos, against Schering (which is now owned by Bayer), ended in 1982 when the claimants' legal team, with the approval of the court, decided to discontinue the litigation on the grounds that there was no realistic possibility of showing that Primodos caused the congenital abnormalities alleged."
They also said that any use of Primodos as a pregnancy test after 1970 would have been "off-label".

My Scoop:
When I read the information above I was very skeptical. As a rule in our house you only use softener when you are washing towels, pajamas and undergarments. I never use fabric softener on dress clothes. I do this because I hate the oily residue that ruins my dress clothes! I have ruined dozens on dress tops and khakis from using traditional fabric softener. So when I read the claims I was skeptical. But for the purpose of the review and to be a Guinea pig for my readers I decided to use the new Purex Complete Crystals on my next load of clothes.
Honestly I did a small load in case they were ruined. I poured the crystals in along with laundry soap. You do not put it in the softener dispenser. I thought that was odd.
The first thing I noticed about the Purex Crystal Softener was the fresh smell. The smell is strong and fabulous. I wish the computer had a "scratch and sniff" feature so that you could smell for yourself. The smell was so fresh and clean that I was excited to have that smell fill my laundry room!

Accommodation in London, England – The Tune Hotels Option
Accommodation in London, England
Many people travel to London as one of the first places to discover in Europe. London has been the centre of many decisions and events that have had ramifications all over the world – for example, inventing a truckload of sports such as soccer, cricket, and rugby union that the rest of the world have embraced – and now leave England for dead for most of the time!
Unfortunately, since London is an international city, almost everything is very expensive – even after the recent devaluation of the pound since the Global Financial Crisis. Money tends to evaporate rather easily in London, especially if you have to fork out for your accommodation, assuming you are unlucky enough not to have have some friends living in the London suburbs where you can pay rent for sleeping in their bath tub.
As part of this Visit Britain press trip to England and Wales, Tune Hotels put me up into their brand new London Hotel. In fact, they had to finish off a room for me especially because the available rooms had been snapped up because of a recent 9 pound per room per night sale that sent their website crashing, and almost burnt their servers.
The reason for that, is because decent Accommodation in London can often cost an arm and a leg – sometimes, you might need to sell your first born child just to get by. And standard fare in London is usually small size/large prices. A 'budget' option for a hotel room is one under 100 pounds per night!
And it looks like Tune Hotels have taken a big shot of steroids, and more of them have been popping up around the place – there are more planned for London, and the aim is to reach double figures in the next few years.
The latest Tune Hotels addition is literally located across the road from the Lambeth North Tube station, making it easily accessible to many attractions of central London.
I'm not going to blurb on too much about the hotel itself and the concept – you can read more here on my previous post titled 'Tune Hotels – Accommodation Like A Low Cost Airline' when I stayed at the Kuala Lumpur Airport last year. Basically, the further ahead you book, the cheaper it is. I came across some London rooms on their website at around 45 pounds per night.
However, just like a low cost airline, there are sales now and then which make the Tube ride to the hotel seem expensive!
The one sentence story is that if you're after some London accommodation that's very reasonable, clean, tidy and pretty much near everything – Tune Hotels is a good option. You can read more about the London Hotel at the Tune Hotels Website, which includes more details and photos.
With Tune Hotels, you know what you're getting and you get what you pay for and it's been consistent when I've stayed there – the Kuala Lumpur Airport Hotel is similar, so read my review about that one and it's pretty much the same.
So anyway, I'm focussing on the nearby stuff you can see and do from the Tune Hotels Westminster location. Here is a mud map of roughly where the new Tune Hotels location is:
The Westminster location is close and walking distance to a lot of London Tourist Attractions. Because I'm lazy, here is a photograph of how close the new pad is to a number of London icons in terms of walking distance.
This is literally 'down the road!'
So if you're looking for some Accommodation in London, England – Tune Hotels is an option to add to your list.
Disclaimer: my accommodation for a stopover in Kuala Lumpur and for two days in London was kindly provided by Biresh from Tune Hotels. You can follow Tune Hotels on Twitter, and Biresh actually engages with people and it's worth having a chat to him online!

3 Responses to Accommodation in London, England – The Tune Hotels Option
Hello Anthony,This is absolutely one of the most fascinating blogs I have seen. It's so easy to tune out but there are some matchless materials online and I think your website is one of the few.
Hi Anthony,
Your post offers a wide variety of knowledge especially about the hotels. I couldn't say anything but I have to agree in most of your points there!
I stayed in the Tune Hotel at Kuta in Bali in January 2010. It was meant to be an upgrade after a month of travellnig and staying in downgraded digs. However 5 minutes after checking in I had to return to the reception and ask for a different room as my bathroom was flooded.
The staff should have noticed that! And it shouldn't have happened in the first place in a brand new hotel, cheap or not!
Anyhow I wish TuneHotels better luck in London… the name is very similar to existing London hotel site TubeHotels.com – just one character difference on the keyboard!! May get confusing for their customers!

Dreamscapes by Ziemowit Maj
Ziemowit Maj has a way with composition. This photographer's subjects are relatively simple, but the setting, lighting and positioning make all the difference. Details shine, like the jewel tones of the berries on the cake or the contrast of the sky in the painting, rather than remain hidden or obscured by any show stealers. Although Maj entitles this series Dreamscapes, the photos may come across as everyday moments that take on a little magic. It's all in the perspective.

Robin Hood Gardens not to be listed
The Government is to stand by its original decision not to list Robin Hood Gardens.
The brutalist housing estate is now clear to make way for the Blackwall Reach project after an appeal by the Twentieth Century Society was dismissed this week.
In backing his predecessor's views on the subject last year, secretary of state Andy Burnham announced that the estate "does not have the special architectural and historic interest required to merit listing".
Culture minister Margaret Hodge decided the 1970s Poplar estate did not merit listing back in July last year, claiming it was "not fit for purpose". But the Government was forced to review its decision following an appeal from the Twentieth Century Society citing errors in the consultation and decision-making process.
In a letter sent to the society on Wednesday, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport concluded that "on balance, Robin Hood Gardens as a whole was not successful housing and consequently not a particularly good example of housing design."
He also argued there was "insufficient evidence to demonstrate the listing decision underestimated the innovation of the estate."
The report concluded in saying that the secretary of state "will not consider Robin Hood Gardens for addition to the statutory list for a period of five years."
Robin Hood Gardens was championed by architects around the country such as Dan Cruickshank and Sir Richard Rogers. Trade digest Building Design ran a campaign calling for the restoration of the structure, while the New York Times even sent its architecture critic to E14 to cast an eye over the estate.
English Heritage was less impressed, claiming last year that "it fails as a place for human beings to live". Many residents interviewed by The Wharf last year were also keen for change, with some saying the estate had been "left to rot".
Following this week's decision, Blackwall and Cubitt Town councillor Tim Archer said: "It's about time too.
"The people I feel sorry for are the residents who have had to put their plans on hold, not knowing what's going to happen to the estate.
"At last the block has been removed so the council and residents can decide jointly what the best thing is for the estate. We're very disappointed that it's taken so long to come to this decision.
"There are lots of issues now to be worked through, but at least this is one question that's been answered."

The Bush MechanicMake your own Honey ExtractorDr Garth CambrayThere are few people more symbolic of rural African ingenuity than the bush mechanics. People with no formal training in mechanical repair, or engineering, who build strange contraptions to solve everyday problems and maintain fleets of ancient vehicles that keep Africa slowly moving forward. In many cases the bush mechanics are highly qualified in another field in which they are not employed - but due to their problem solving skills they gravitate into the mechanical fields. To kick of this new section of the magazine, one of our editors, Dr Garth Cambray, a self professed 'bush mechanic' (and biotechnologist by profession) shows how he designed and built a very low cost honey extractor from readily available scrap parts. Honey extractionIn modern beekeeping, honeybees build wax in special frames that hold the beeswax that contains the honey (honeycombs). Beekeepers remove the frames, spin the honey from the comb and return the empty wax to the hive to be refilled. This has the advantage that the bees do not have to rebuild the wax, and thus greater honey production is achieved.
These two pictures show how the honeycombs in a wild hive (left) and in a managed hive differ. The honeycomb displayed by Phumlani Honi of Makana Meadery has been built in a specially designed frame used by most beekeepers around the world so that they can be removed without breaking from a beehive. However - commercial honey extractors are expensive, and in the case of most of Africa - made from parts which are difficult to replace due to the remoteness of good beekeeping areas from cities with engineering capacity. Hence throughout Africa, very little use is made of modern beekeeping techniques and African beekeepers are perhaps seen by the global beekeeping community as special case beekeepers who should use low technology beekeeping. The Makana Meadery Bicycle Wheel Extractor.To make this extractor you will need the following easily obtainable parts: 220l metal drum (one that has been used to store something that does not
leave poisonous residues) Electrical drill Procedure:Cut the bottom of the drum out - this is important - the top of the drum has two pouring holes with plugs in them - the top of the drum will be the bottom of the extractor. If the drum has had alcohol in it, as was the case with the first drum I used, do not cut the bottom out with an angle grinder - this will result in a dangerous explosion that destroys the drum (and possibly you as well). Rather rinse the drum out with water by filling it completely to displace all alcohol fumes first. In our case we used a Propanol drum - once the propanol has been emptied and rinsed from the drum no toxic residues are left.
Here the wooden block is visible secured to the bottom of the extractor. Note the two metal plugs that are visible. These will be where honey leaves the extractor. Place piece of wood across base of drum and drill holes through the drum so that you can secure it in place with coach screws. In centre of the piece of wood secure the pillow block bearing with coach screws. Place the threaded rod through the centre of a bicycle wheel rim. Bolt it firmly in place 10cm from one end of the threaded rod. Lock two nuts together at the one end of the hub. Lock another two nuts together 15mm from the end of the rod. These will rest into the bearing. At the other end of the rod, thread a nut down so that it is 395mm from the hub of the other wheel. Place the next wheel onto the rod and rest it against this nut. Secure it in place with another two nuts locked against each other. Drill holes in four points around each wheel rim and bolt the rims together with the 8mm threaded rods. Lock 2 nuts on each end. Thread another nut down the rod so that it is at least 15cm from the last nut securing the wheel. Place the self centring bearing against this nut and secure in place with another nut. At the end of the rod, thread two nuts onto the rod so that 2cm of rod protrudes, cut a slot at least 3mm wide and 10mm deep in the end of the rod and then thread the nuts back up to the end of the rod and lock them together.
If you have access to a welding machine, weld the nuts together lightly. Here is the extractor cage, assembled and bolted together. On the bottom wheel rim, attach the wire in a circle on the spokes 5-8cm from the wheel rim. Your frames will rest against this.
The wire secured to the frames will allow frames to rest and not fall through the bottom wheel. Place the extractor basket now created into the drum and rest into the pillow block bearing. Bolt a piece of wood to the self centring bearing with coach screws and attach the piece of wood to the drum sides.
Take the electric drill and place a screwdriver bit in the chuck. Place the chuck in the slot in the top of the threaded rod. Place honeycomb frames into the extractor sliding them through the spaces in the bicycle wheel spokes and resting them inside the rim at the bottom against the piece of wire. Give the extractor cage a hand whirl with the drill in position and then slowly turn the drill on (once your hands are clear).
Most modern drills have a variable speed drill trigger, hence the extractor operator can control the speed of the extraction - if combs explode slow down!! When a certain volume such as 25-30l of honey has been extracted, the extractor is lifted and placed on a chair (2 person job). The metal plug is removed from the bottom of the extractor (which was the top of the drum) and honey flows rapidly out into a bucket. Have two or three buckets on hand. A wooden stick is useful for coaxing stubborn pieces of wax through the hole into the bucket. Notes on operation: Bearings are normally packed with grease and sealed. Grease is not a food grade product (unless special food grade bearings are purchased). Remove the bearing seals and rinse all grease out with hot water and soap. Honey is sufficiently viscous that it appears to act as an effective grease in the bearings. This extractor is the 'Volkswagen beetle' of extractors. It is inexpensive and if you use it wisely it will allow you to eventually purchase a fancier model. There is a problem in beekeeping development where many people try to buy very expensive equipment and then have to pay off huge investments - rather start with simple, inexpensive functional equipment and earn the money to buy fancy equipment.

- Thanks, I've done a fair bit of work on the airship related articles of Wikipedia. I presume much of the process is very similar here. Blimpguy 18:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Why did you remove barrage balloon from the "See also" section? This section is not for synonyms, but for any article that might be of interest to anyone looking at the entry. I shall put it back. SemperBlotto 19:18, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I removed it because barrage balloons are not airships. Airships are free flying whereas barrage balloons are moored to the ground. It would be more appropriate to add it to the see also of "balloon".

This is how we understand the development of ideas in our disciplines, formulate meaningful new questions, and advance our knowledge. But several of the authors of this article have noted disturbingly inaccurate reporting of our study findings when cited by others. We have also noted copying and pasting of phrases and citations from published articles in a way that distorts or even completely changes the meaning of the source. For us, this calls into question the quality and meaning of scientific advancement. It is tempting to believe that citation practices are worse in lower-impact journals, and that we can more easily rely on the quality of the logic and ideas presented in more prestigious journals. But we have noticed inaccurate citations in some high-impact journals as well. These observations led us to attempt to quantify the extent of inaccurate citation in the recently published ecological literature, to com ...

Karachi: There are a number of problems being faced by the Muslims in the United Kingdom and one the biggest challenge is to remove the prevailing wrong conception about Islam within the Britons and other communities in the kingdom.
This was expressed by the Chief of United Kingdom Islamic Mission (UKIM), Dr. Zahid Pervez, while describing the problems of the Muslim community in the UK. He was on a short trip to Pakistan last few days ago.
He stated, "To combat the issue, we availed all chances to interact other communities on various dialogue forums so as to convince them that the Islam is a religion of peace and harmony, and we got very positive impacts of measures in that direction."
The Muslim are playing vital role in the economic and social growth of the UK as they are running businesses and encouraging entrepreneurship, contributing in service sector and even serving in armed and law enforcement agencies of the UK, he added.
While describing the status of the Muslims in pre-9/11 era, the Muslims had good relations with the English people and they were leading their lives in a peaceful and prosperous environment.
However, he said, "Soon after the incident of 9/11, a storm of anti-Muslim sentiments tensed the situations. Muslims were targeted with hatred and even on various occasions, Sikhs were beaten up due to their beards. At that time, the British government came forward and supported the Muslims and provided them with maximum protection till 7/7 banged."
Dr. Zahid said with dismay that as soon as 7/7 London bombings took place, the stance of the UK government changed dramatically about the Muslims and it started seeing the Muslims with doubt. The government started to critically monitor mosques and community centers of the Muslims. Several lobbies in the UK, working as stakeholders of the society, turned against the Muslims and Islam and worked against them together.
He held the unawareness about Islam in various segments responsible for hatred against Muslims as they thought rising Islam in the west could lead to their fall. There were a number of movements and lobbies including some radical minorities among Christians, Jews, Feminist groups, communists, Sikh and Hindu activists groups, which feared that if Islam was strengthened, Muslims would influence in foreign policy and other national and international issues, he added.
Zahid pointed out that Jewish lobby in particular has a significant influence in media, which had a very negative impact on the relations between Muslims and other communities. He felt sorry that the media should have played its due role in bridging the gap between Muslims and the other religions but it did not happen in reality.
He said, "It was witnessed several times that media, particularly electronic, deliberately exaggerated and manipulated the situations."
"Due to the reasons, wrong concepts about Islam raised again and the movements of extremism like English Defense Leagues got influence in the society," he added.
Zahid said that happenings in Pakistan and other Islamic countries affect the Muslims in the UK and genuine Islamization of Pakistan and Afghanistan will give a very positive message to the western world.
"The UK is our home. The Muslim Diaspora in the UK has two options, either to go back or to torch their boats, so we have decided to follow the footprints of Tariq Bin Zyad. Our next generation will win people to Islam," he concluded.

Monk blast at Derry and Warnock
Swansea skipper Gary Monk was unhappy at a tackle on Shefki Kuqi by Shaun Derry. That was a disgrace. I had a clear sight of it and I was really mad about it," Monk told the Swansea Evening Post. "He's so lucky not to have damaged Shefki properly. "But when it's as blatant as that it's embarrassing. He shouldn't be on the pitch. "He got away with it and he always seems to get away with it, but that's Warnock's team for you." Swansea won the game 1 - 0 with Kuqi scoring the winning goal. Monk went on to explain how Neil Warnock's attempt at gamesmanship backfired. It's claimed Warnock pinned a newspaper cutting to the away team dressing room door that highlighted comment Paulo Sousa made about Palace should be relegated rather than just have 10 points deducted for going into Administration. "Warnock had stuck something on our door — something about what Paulo had said in the week — so we knew we had to start well because they were going to come out firing, and we did that," said Monk. "Warnock being Warnock, he moaned all game. I think he was the only voice I could hear on the pitch, so it was great to shut him up for once — that was nice. "Everyone's got their own style and I can't knock him as a manager, he's been there, seen it, done it. "But it's not a team I'd like to play in and I don't think it's a team even their players want to play in, but you have to play somewhere. "Our principles are to play nice football and to stroke it about, but with a purpose as well. "We had to show discipline, which we did, and got a great result," he added.

Miley had a successful night as the host of 'Saturday Night Live,' but we couldn't help but notice how she held back on letting her ex-boyfriend have it. A source close to the singer now tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY why she decided to go easy on Liam.
After Liam Hemsworth dissed Miley Cyrus hard by hooking up with Eiza Gonzalez just one day after he and Miley announced their breakup, the singer's hosting gig on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 5 looked like it was going to be the perfect place for Miley to fight back and get a few vicious shots in on Liam. So why did she ultimately decide to hold back?
Miley Cyrus Goes Easy On Liam Hemsworth
Admirably, Miley resolved to take the high road, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "She thought it wouldn't be classy at the end of the day to talk about Liam and left him out it," the source says.
The "We Can't Stop" singer was so close to hurling a flurry of disses at Liam though. "Her monologue was originally longer but as we all saw they shortened it immensely. It was going to have all those jokes," the source says.
As we saw during Miley's feud with Sinead O'Connor, she isn't exactly the greatest at turning the other cheek, so it obviously took a lot of will power for her to withhold from dissing her ex. But doing so was definitely the mature thing to do, so we're proud of Miley.
Miley Cyrus' Great Night On 'SNL'
Even without any Liam jokes, Miley had a great night as the host and musical guest of SNL. Not only did she film a funny fake sex tape, make fun of herself, and absolutely destroy her performances of "Wrecking Ball" and "We Can't Stop," but Miley and the SNL cast also put together the best and most hilarious takedown of the government shutdown yet — a remix of her "We Can't Stop" video called "We Did Stop."
It was a great night for Miley, and she didn't even have to drag her ex through the mud! What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Was Miley right to leave out the Liam jokes? Let us know!

Okay. Am I the only one who thought the final SNL skit WAS the diss to Liam??? It's about a guy who doesn't know if he wants Miley, despite what she is willing to offer him, and then he waits too long and his older brother gets with her?? Was it really too subtle for American audiences?
Posted at 7:37 PM on October 7, 2013
oh please you mohons–look how she turned on Sinead -she is a ruthless 2 faced bee-yotch -she isn't messing with Liam because if she does he will most likely let out the truth about how she tried to blackmail him with a false pregnancy and miscarriage-Smelly was playing some manipulative cling-on skankk games to try and trap Liam-Smelly already narrowly diverted the media spotlight from that story by using twitter to spread and then deny rumors of being knocked up by Juicy J-Liam took the opportunity to finally get away from the cunntt and seems to be holding his "Ace in the Hole" in case she tries to do to him on twitter what she did to Sinead-and all SNL did was prove that she is in fact Hanna Montana -she did he same Hanna dancing Disney monkey routines except she throws in raunchy to act like she is a grown up -stupid

miley is being so real and true. once she said its over and its done she will never look it back. she have a good heart. she thanked liam for given her inspiration to write her songs and wish him good luck to his career. miley separate her public figure to her personal life. even if medias and paparazzi are always there to shovel her life.
Not surprised
Posted at 11:08 PM on October 6, 2013
Liam deserved it AND Miley was right not to. This is the man that she was ready to spend the rest of her life with and still may ultimately do so. I'm not that surprised that she left him alone.
Miley's out there with a lot of things but, from everything I've read about her, she's a really good person who tends to do the right thing a lot more often than not when it comes to other people; especially, those she truly loves.

In light of Dwight Howard being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on August 9, thus ending the most successful era in Magic franchise history, Magic Basketball will dedicate a week (beginning on Monday) to look back and reflect on Dwight's tenure with the Orlando Magic.
Topics will range from his on-court fit with the Lakers alongside Mike Brown, Kobe Bryant, and Steve Nash, a retrospective look at Dwight during the Magic's 2009 Finals run, analysis of the trade between Orlando and Los Angeles, and more. Call it "Dwight Week."
Stay tuned.
