Gallery: Russia's First Active House is 7 Times More Efficient Than the...
This home uses 7-8 times less energy than the average home in Russia!
The designers managed to slash the building's carbon footprint so that it emits only 110 kWh/ m2 a year by using building-integrated solar panels and passive design techniques that ensure the home is flooded with light and well-ventilated.
The home is clad in sustainably sourced timber, giving it a natural, fresh look. The completion of the project was such a big deal for Russia that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark cut the ribbon at a ceremony, marking the completion of the country's very first Active House.

is the miele speed oven "all that"?
We are picking appliances for our remodel. We have no space concerns and are replacing an existing double oven. I am debating Miele convection and convection/steam vs speed oven and convection (or convection/steam?)
Our architect and Bulthaup rep both assure us that they are using speed ovens everywhere and everyone raves about them. What is the advantage, really? Are they just expensive microwaves? And has Miele taken a large price jump recently?
Tell us about your current cooking / eating habits.
Didn't Bulthaup have a price jump at the beginng of this year ? Does that change your mind about that product?
Advantage is that it can function as a smaller second convection oven with traditional heating elements in addition to the combination function.
"Most of us" here in GW, that have Speed Ovens, really like them, and Miele seems to be the favourite.
Being, "Somewhat of a Rebel", I bought the Electrolux.
We've had it for 8 years and it has been completely trouble free, except for a loose screw that mounts the handle.
I guess some folks buy the Miele cause it will broil, which the Elux will not, but I almost always do my broiling outside
and in the rare occasions I do not, I can use our regular Elux oven.
Being older, the larger the display on oven/speed oven, the better, and Elux has the largest display.
We do a lotta potatoes, sweet potatoes and Yams, and being able to "Speed cook" them in 14 minutes, (Including preheat), sure beats doing them in the regular oven @ 45-60 minutes.
My speed oven is one appliance I'll never be without!
I cook for my family of four almost every night. I would call myself a good practical cook but not any kind of chef. Speed is definitely of the essence because I work full time as well and cook to try to feed two teenagers somewhat healthfully at home. I use one oven two or three times a week, mainly for roasting meats and vegetables or cooking a casserole, and both maybe once a month.
I will bake, some, on the weekend as well. As to price, Bulthaup is our major splurge. Miele is not exactly a budget brand but I want to try to get the most for our money. This is the last remodel I expect we will ever do on this house so it needs to last!
Bulthaup rank in the best of the business category in terms of kitchen design and installation. They use Miele products for a variety of reasons. This is not some small town kitchen designer making a suggestion so I would be disinclined to second guess them. They know what they are doing.
That said, are they suggesting one full-size (i.e. 30" oven) plus a speed or convection/steam? Or are they suggesting only a speed or convection/steam? It isn't quite clear.
Are you also planning for/need a microwave?
My only other suggestion is to watch the placement of ovens if there is more than one and be sure it's comfortable for you -- not just great for the design. But in their showrooms they are very good on that issue usually.
I love my speed oven - mine is the advantium 240. I use it all of the time. Today, I reheated frozen pancakes and bacon using the speed function - they tasted almost as good as fresh off the griddle and had been in the freezer a long time.
I don't bake a lot in it - but it does work. Usually, I am baking many items at a time.
It does takes some pre-planning. Once you heat up the oven with the speed function, the sensors for the MW can't be used until it cools down - you can MW by time or by food but not sensor cook. Most of the time, I MW first and then Speed afterwards.
I call it a MW on steroids. It bakes, browns, grills (although I don't grill as too messy!), MW, reheats, melts, etc.
I stacked mine with a Wolf convection oven - I would not want it one iota higher than it is. The KD said no higher and I believed her and she was correct.

21 Jan 2012 09:05 GMT | Politics, Asia, Bangladesh, India
In December, 22-year-old Habibur Rahman was tortured by eight Indian army soldiers for being caught illegally crossing into Bangladesh with cows he had purchased in India. Now, a month later, he is still shaking from the brutal, almost 24-hour-long beating he received.
Cows are cheaper in India than Bangladesh, so Bangladeshis buy them across the border and smuggle them back inside to sell. But India has erected a 3,000-kilometre-long electrified and guarded fence between the two countries, purportedly to stop terrorism.
Every cow brought back earns around $20, but now Rahman must deal with the physical consequences of his trade and his fear that authorities will come looking for him again.

Train Extrication
The recent Amtrak incident got me wondering if anyone who has ever dealt with a similar situation had any tips, tricks, etc for dealing with extriactions from passenger trains. Also any good books or internet sites out there with this info would be appreciated.
Never dealt with one (yet), but I did see a very interesting program on The Discovery Channel about the NTSB investigating an accident in Maryland. During the program, they interviewed by-standers and fire officials who talk about how difficult it was to gain access to the passenger compartments. Supposedly some improvements were made bacause of that incident. I would suspect that if one isn't available yet, there will probably be some programs developed to at least offer awareness training on how to open emergency exits and such.Richard Nester
Orrville (OH) Fire Dept.
"People don't care what you know... until they know that you care." - Scott Bolleter
We have had lectures in the past from NJ Transit, which runs the trains through my area. Forget about extrication, is their suggestion. Windows, tough to make entry, they claim Glas-Masters won't cut them, you need to remove the entire window...from the inside. You can usually force the car doors open with minimal effort, and that is the best entry you will get. Seats inside the trains are fairly simple to "disassemble". A cut here, a cut there, no more seat. Don't know how Amtrak cars compare to NJ Transit cars.
Whilst we've never dealt with a derailment or an extrication from inside of a train, we've had a lot of calls for jumpers and surfers and have had to "pick up the pieces" literally!
We've put in place the following procedures for train incidents in our area, bearing in mind they may not be relevant to international trains....
* Our electric trains are fitted with a Master Key. The key must be removed from the train and must not be in the posession of the driver at any time. (Shock can set in- we've witnessed them try to drive off because they're late for the next stop.)
* No person goes under a train unless the key has been removed and we know the location of the key.
* We post a person at each end of the train, inside. (Ours can be driven from either end) These two people have radios and at any time can contact the IC if the train is about to be moved or anything else.
* No vehicles are placed across tracks at any time- way too dangerous.
* As soon as we arrive, we notify the Train Control Room of the incident an request immediate stoppage of all trains. We also contact the next station at each end of the train to confirm this has occurred.
* If in doubt, we can place a battery jumper lead between the guage of the tracks- this will trick the signals into beleiving a train has stopped and will set the next two sets of signals into "stop" mode.
* If at night, a member is sent at least two sets of signals up the track with traffic wands to stop any stray trains, in case they have not been stopped for any reason by the Control Room.
* No recovery is done from on top of the train until it has been confirmed that the power (22,000 volts) has been isolated.
Just a few points about our trains and others in general:
* Watch out for the added height. The picture below shows me in orange and you can see the height of it. (I'm just on 6 feet tall)
* When recovering from underneath a train, beware of the spread of the body and body parts as per the second picture. You may need to look for a considerable distance to recover all body parts.
* Under no circumstance can non injured passengers be removed from a train without the express permission of the owners of the train company. (In the incident depicted below, passengers were kept on the train for about 1.5 hours until the authorities arrived and gave permission for their removal.) No emergency service in our area, including Police is authorised to remove passengers.
* The glass in our trains is only laminated glass. No different to get into than any windscreen on a car.
Hope this may help in some way...Luke
Be prepared to look over a long distance for boday parts under a train. Also be prepared, as per the picture below, you may need to take measures to hide the view from the public or other passengers as they disembark from the train...Luke

Texas A&M University offers a comprehensive weeklong program detailing passenger train emergency response. They have a full scale mock train accident which is used during the course. The program is well worth a look.
We had a train accident a few years ago over here. It was practically impossible to cut certain parts of the train with the Amkus gear we carry. The metal used on the sides/floor is very very strong and in most cases wider than the jaws can open. If you have to start cutting wreckage to make space, you may be looking at in some cases using oxyacetelene torches.
Another problem I have heard about, is that during the winter the diesel fuel is mixed with parafin to prevent it freezing up when the train is ldleing or stopped overnight. Burns like crazy and the fumes/smoke as you can imagine are horrendus.United Kingdom branch, IACOJ.
Martin,ALL diesel fuel contains paraffin.That's what clogs the filters in the winter/cold climates.To combat "clouding"k-1 (kerosene)is added to the fuel to prevent gelling.That's why "wintermix" or climatized fuel burns like hell.Kinda like the aviation industry adding small amounts of gasoline to jet fuel for more boost in certain applications.T.C.

I can't help you with questions regarding extrication, but we did have an awareness-type class with a local railroad representative.
Some things that I remember that seem pertinent (and this is reference freight trains):
1. The locomotives can carry up to 2000 gallons of diesel fuel each.
2. There is an "engine stop" button on both the left and right sides of the locomotive, roughly in the center, that can be depressed to shut the fuel flow into the engine. We we warned to use this only if necessary because it takes several hours to restart the engine after doing it.
3. As far as freight cars are concerned, the only thing holding them on the track is gravity. There are no lips or clamps that keeps the wheels on the rails. Likewise, gravity keeps the cars on the axles. That's why during derailments you see axles separated from the cars alot.Bryan Beall
Silver City, Oklahoma USA
A train traveling too fast at a bridge crossing caused this derailment that stretched for over three miles along the tracks.
One of the "collapse zones" that was established was this one due to the serious tilt of this rail car.
We were presented with an unexpected "solution" to this stabilization challenge and I'll post that in the next message.
You've heard of tensionsed buttress stabilization. Well this is the version they sell to police departments... the tensioned BUTTress system.
Actual unretouched image. Honest! He actually ran over there and wanted me to take his picture. What could I say. He's the one with the gun.
Stabilisation! We don't need no steenking stabilisation!!!Luke
I'd prefer a Cat with a winch!T.C.
101. Thanks for the correction. Never could understand diesel fuel! Had to be one or the other. Just remember it burned quite merrily for a long, long, time.

Rail Safety For Fires Responders
fire-inst, You specificaly asked about Amtrack cars. I recently took the rail safety class offred by BNSF and a point they drove home is dont walk between or under cars with the HEP (Head End Power) operational. HEP is 480 v ac to keep passangers happy, heat, cool lights. I understand it is not uncommon to see exposed wiring at the connectors. Also Amtrack does not "own" rails, only leases them so you should establish who owns the rail lines in your district.
Hope this helps some, Ill try to include a link you can request a Rail Safety Class on this post

That reminds me...even after a train is stopped, movement of a car by three or four feet is possible. This is due to the length of some of these trains. Just because the car you are looking at has completely stopped doesn't mean there isn't movement in the train. So be careful operating under or near the wheels.Bryan Beall

Yeah, I had one of those yesterday. It came out of nowhere. I was complaining, something I've been doing a bit much of lately. I was writing out my prayer, as I like to do, and all the sudden the words on the page hit me like a ton of bricks. I may have put pen to the paper and scratched them out, but those words weren't mine. Otherwise I wouldn't have been so shocked.
Prayer Journal Entry, November 12, 2014:
I failed. Again and again.
(And then here it came...) Am I grateful for Your grace that covers my mistakes or am I only bitter to be in situations in which failure in an ongoing possibility?
(insert weeping over the realization that I was the second option)
If I'm honest, I'm bitter. I so take Your grace for granted that I not only expect it to cover me when I fail, but to make my path so straight and flat that failure isn't in my realm of possibilities.
I have begun to believe and even endorse the lie that Your grace is not enough because I have expected it to make me comfortable and happy instead of whole.
Meanwhile, I'm drowning in Your ocean of grace. More than I even knew. I was being given grace I couldn't fathom I even needed.
I couldn't fathom it because I was so completely lost in my own self that I missed the point of grace altogether. Let me never again take Your abundant grace for granted or doubt it's worth and working in my life.
Your grace has so much more depth than my happiness and ease.
Grace is given to me that I may drown in it instead of this world.
Yet here I am fighting desperately to swim and getting nowhere.
I want to be lost in Your grace - so very aware of all my failures and simultaneously even more aware of Your great love that was, is and ever will be enough to save me and make me whole.
That You are molding me into the image of Your Son is the most beautiful gift grace could ever unwrap. Forgive me for desiring lesser things.
Change my heart. Purify my desires. Cleanse me of doubt. I know You are doing a greater work.
Now. I've been a Christian my whole life. Went to church in the womb and have rarely missed a Sunday since. I've been taught grace. I've studied grace. I've had revelations of grace. But then I came to a season where it felt as if I couldn't make it if things didn't change or go a certain way. And, let's be honest, I didn't like the person I was in those situations. I prayed and prayed for God to change my situation, to see me through, to get me to the other side. Why wasn't He answering my prayers? Did I not pray enough or with enough faith?? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if God's not answering our prayers it's because we're not praying in line with His will. Apparently the Lord doesn't want my situation to change. He wants ME to change. Better stated, He wants to change me.
I've spent enough time thinking His grace isn't working in my life because I am struggling, because I've failed. Ya know what, I'm going to fail. Again and again. The Lord is going to keep me in situations where failure is a very real possibility. Because it's in those situations where I learn to depend on Him the most. And it's in those situations where His grace shines brightest.
God's not trying to make me successful, or happy, or comfortable.
He's making me whole.
He's not turning me into Supermom/wife or the best at my job.
He's transforming me into the image of Jesus.
And all this only by His grace.
There's no greater gift.

On January 7, 1855, the minister of New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, England, opened his morning sermon as follows:
It has been said by someone that "the proper study of mankind is man." I will not oppose the idea, but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God's elect is God; the proper study of a Christian is the Godhead. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father.
There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can compass and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go our way with the thought, "Behold I am wise." But when we come to this master science, finding that our plumbline cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away with the thought that vain man would be wise, but he is like a wild ass's colt; and with solemn exclamation, "I am but of yesterday, and know nothing." No subject of contemplation will tend more to humble the mind, than thoughts of God....
But while the subject humbles the mind, it also expands it. He who often thinks of God, will have a larger mind than the man who simply plods aroundthis narrow globe.... The most excellent study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and Him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity.
And, whilst humbling and expanding, this subject is eminently consolatory. Oh, there is, in contemplating Christ, a balm for every wound; in musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief; and in the influence of the Holy Ghost, there is a balsam for every sore. Would you lose your sorrow? Would you drown your cares? Then go, plunge yourself in the Godhead's deepest sea; be lost in his immensity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated. I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead. It is to that subject that I invite you this morning.
These words, spoken over a century ago by C. H. Spurgeon (at that time, incredibly, only twenty years old) were true then, and they are true now. They make a fitting preface to a series of studies on the nature and character of God.
Who Needs Theology?
But wait a minute," says someone, "tell me this. Is our journey really necessary? In Spurgeon's day, we know, people found theology interesting, but I find it boring. Why need anyone take time off today for the kind of study you propose? Surely a layperson, at any rate, can get on without it? After all, this is the twentieth century, not the nineteenth!"
A fair question!—but there is, I think, a convincing answer to it. The questioner clearly assumes that a study of the nature and character of God will be impractical and irrelevant for life. In fact, however, it is the most practical project anyone can engage in. Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives. As it would be cruel to an Amazonian tribesman to fly him to London, put him down without explanation in Trafalgar Square and leave him, as one who knew nothing of English or England, to fend for himself, so we are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it. The world becomes a strange, mad, painful place, and life in it a disappointing and unpleasant business, for those who do not know about God. Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.
Recognizing, then, that the study of God is worthwhile, we prepare to start. But where shall we start from?
Clearly, we can only start from where we are. That, however, means setting out in a storm, for the doctrine of God is a storm center today. The so-called debate about God, with its startling slogans—"our image of God must go"; "God is dead"; "we can sing the creed, but we can't say it"—is raging all around us. We are told that "God-talk," as Christians have historically practiced it, is a refined sort of nonsense, and knowledge about God is strictly a nonentity. Types of teaching which profess such knowledge are written off as outmoded—"Calvinism,' "fundamentalism," "Protestant scholasticism," "the old orthodoxy." What are we to do? If we postpone our journey till the storm dies down, we may never get started at all.
My proposal is this. You will know how Bunyan's pilgrim, when called back by his wife and children from the journey on which he was setting out, "put his fingers in his ears, and ran on crying, Life, Life, Eternal Life." I ask you for the moment to stop your ears to those who tell you there is no road to knowledge about God, and come a little way with me and see. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and anyone who is actually following a recognized road will not be too worried if he hears nontravelers telling each other that no such road exists.
Storm or no storm, then, we are going to start. But how do we plot our course?
Five basic truths, five foundation principles of the knowledge about God which Christians have, will determine our course throughout. They are as follows:
1. God has spoken to man, and the Bible is his Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation.
2. God is Lord and King over his world; he rules all things for his own glory, displaying his perfections in all that he does, in order that men and angels may worship and adore him.
3. God is Savior, active in sovereign love through the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue believers from the guilt and power of sin, to adopt them as his children and to bless them accordingly.
4. God is triune; there are within the Godhead three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and the work of salvation is one in which all three act together, the Father purposing redemption, the Son securing it and the Spirit applying it.
5. Godliness means responding to God's revelation in trust and obedience, faith and worship, prayer and praise, submission and service. Life must be seen and lived in the light of God's Word. This, and nothing else, is true religion.
In the light of these general and basic truths, we are now going to examine in detail what the Bible shows us of the nature and character of the God of whom we have been speaking. We are in the position of travelers who, after surveying a great mountain from afar, traveling around it, and observing how it dominates the landscape and determines the features of the surrounding countryside, now approach it directly, with the intention of climbing it.
The Basic Themes
What is the ascent going to involve? What are the themes that will occupy us?
We shall have to deal with the Godhead of God, the qualities of deity which set God apart from humans and mark the difference and distance between the Creator and his creatures: such qualities as his self-existence, his infinity, his eternity, his unchangeableness. We shall have to deal with the powers of God: his almightiness, his omniscience, his omnipresence. We shall have to deal with the perfections of God, the aspects of his moral character which are manifested in his words and deeds—his holiness, his love and mercy, his truthfulness, his faithfulness, his goodness, his patience, his justice. We shall have to take note of what pleases him, what offends him, what awakens his wrath, what affords him satisfaction and joy.
For many of us, these are comparatively unfamiliar themes. They were not always so to the people of God. There was a time when the subject of God's attributes (as it was called) was thought so important as to be included in the catechism which all children in the churches were taught and all adult members were expected to know. Thus, to the fourth question in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, "What is God?" the answer read as follows: "God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth." This statement the great Charles Hodge described as "probably the best definition of God ever penned by man."
Few children today, however, are brought up on the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and few modern worshipers will ever have heard a series of sermons covering the doctrine of the divine character in the way that Charnock's massive Discourses on the Existence and Attributes of God (1682) did. Few, too, will ever have read anything simple and straightforward on the subject of the nature of God, for scarcely any such writing exists at the present time. We can expect, therefore, that an exploration of the themes mentioned above will give us much that is new to think about and many fresh ideas to ponder and digest.
Knowledge Applied
For this very reason we need, before we start to ascend our mountain, to stop and ask ourselves a very fundamental question—a question, indeed, that we always ought to put to ourselves whenever we embark on any line of study in God's holy book. The question concerns our own motives and intentions as students. We need to ask ourselves: What is my ultimate aim and object in occupying my mind with these things? What do I intend to do with my knowledge about God, once I have it? For the fact that we have to face is this: If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it is bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited. The very greatness of the subject matter will intoxicate us, and we shall come to think of ourselves as a cut above other Christians because of our interest in it and grasp of it; and we shall look down on those whose theological ideas seem to us crude and inadequate and dismiss them as very poor specimens. For, as Paul told the conceited Corinthians, "Knowledge puffs up.... The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know" (1 Cor 8:1-2).
To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a state of self-satisfied self-deception. We need to guard our hearts against such an attitude, and pray to be kept from it. As we saw earlier, there can be no spiritual health without doctrinal knowledge; but it is equally true that there can be no spiritual health with it, if it is sought for the wrong purpose and valued by the wrong standard. In this way, doctrinal study really can become a danger to spiritual life, and we today, no less than the Corinthians of old, need to be on our guard here.
But, says someone, is it not a fact that a love for God's revealed truth, and a desire to know as much of it as one can, are natural to every person who has been born again? Look at Psalm 119: "teach me your decrees"; "open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law"; "Oh, how I love your law!;" "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"; "give me discernment that I may understand your statutes" (vv. 12, 18, 97, 103, 125). Do not all children of God long, with the psalmist, to know just as much about our heavenly Father as we can learn? Is not, indeed, the fact that we have received a love for his truth in this way one proof that we have been born again? (See 2 Thess 2:10.) And is it not right that we should seek to satisfy this God-given desire to the full?
Yes, of course it is. But if you look back to Psalm 119 again, you will see that the psalmist's concern to get knowledge about God was not a theoretical but a practical concern. His supreme desire was to know and enjoy God himself, and he valued knowledge about God simply as a means to this end. He wanted to understand God's truth in order that his heart might respond to it and his life be conformed to it. Observe the emphasis of the opening verses: "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.... Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!" (vv. 1-2, 5).
The psalmist was interested in truth and orthodoxy, in biblical teaching and theology, not as ends in themselves, but as means to the further ends of life and godliness. His ultimate concern was with the knowledge and service of the great God whose truth he sought to understand.
And this must be our attitude too. Our aim in studying the Godhead must be to know God himself better. Our concern must be to enlarge our acquaintance, not simply with the doctrine of God's attributes, but with the living God whose attributes they are. As he is the subject of our study, and our helper in it, so he must himself be the end of it. We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God. It was for this purpose that revelation was given, and it is to this use that we must put it.
Meditating on the Truth
How are we to do this? How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.
We have some idea, perhaps, what prayer is, but what is meditation? Well may we ask, for meditation is a lost art today, and Christian people suffer grievously from their ignorance of the practice.
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God. It is an activity of holy thought, consciously performed in the presence of God, under the eye of God, by the help of God, as a means of communion with God.
Its purpose is to clear one's mental and spiritual vision of God, and to let his truth make its full and proper impact on one's mind and heart. It is a matter of talking to oneself about God and oneself; it is, indeed, often a matter of arguing with oneself, reasoning oneself out of moods of doubt and unbelief into a clear apprehension of God's power and grace.
Its effect is ever to humble us, as we contemplate God's greatness and glory and our own littleness and sinfulness, and to encourage and reassure us—'comfort' us, in the old, strong, Bible sense of the word—as we contemplate the unsearchable riches of divine mercy displayed in the Lord Jesus Christ. These were the points stressed by Spurgeon in the passage which we quoted at the beginning, and they are true. And it is as we enter more and more deeply into this experience of being humbled and exalted that our knowledge of God increases, and with it our peace, our strength and our joy. God help us, then, to put our knowledge about God to this use, that we all may in truth "know the Lord."

This book is literally a contemporary classic of Christian literature. Packer's treatment of the attributes of God is an excellent read for both the academic and casual reader. He breathes live into what is too often presented as a boring subject. I found his ideas extremely thought provoking and insightful. Even with his thorough understanding of theology, Packer still makes the book a joy to read and reread, as I have done many times in the few years I have owned my copy. For the brand new and seasoned Christian alike, I highly reccomend this book to anyone who wants to really <i>know</i> God.

An in depth yet very readable study on the nature and character of God. From His incarnation, to His qualities of love, justice, jealousy, and adequacy, you'll appreciate getting to know God on a broader and more intimate level, and how knowing God better impacts your daily life.

Staff Correspondent
'Staff demand thousands of rupees to do our work'
Davangere Deputy Commissioner has
called a meeting on Friday
Officials of tahsildar's office and survey
office will be summoned to the meeting
DAVANGERE: Farmers of several villages staged a snap protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on Thursday against "rampant" corruption in the tahsildar's office and survey office.
They alleged that staffs of the offices were demanding thousands of rupees as bribe to issue "sketch copy", encumbrance certificate, and caste and income certificates, and to change Pahani.
Deputy Commissioner of Davangere district K. Amaranarayana, who heard from the farmers the problems they were facing to get their work done in these offices, called them for a meeting at his office on Friday.
Officials of the tahsildar's office and the survey office would be summoned to the meeting, he said and assured the farmers that he was committed to eradicating corruption in government offices.
Mr. Amaranarayana said that he had warned the officials of stringent action if they caused inconvenience to the public who visited their office.
Meanwhile, G. Ekanthappa, who was on a fast since a week to protest against corruption in the two offices, was admitted to a hospital on Thursday.
Assistant Commissioner of Davangere Janaki told The Hindu that she had initiated steps to curb corruption in the two offices.
She asked the people to inform her whenever an official or a clerk demanded bribe or failed to attend to their work without delay.
Avaragere Rudrumuni, Guddada Kallappa, M. Nagaraj, Chandrakala and Suvarnamma were among the farmers' leaders who participated in the protest.

Does your home have dark areas that you wish you could brighten with natural light? You can accomplish this with a skylight. There is a myth that skylights always leak. This is not a true statement, but I understand why it is so prevalent in society's thinking.
There is a saying that my father often told me, "Price makes a poor yardstick in which to measure quality." Even though he did not ever install a skylight, the principle still applies.
Many DIY'ers, although not all, may not realize how true this is when it comes to choosing a skylight, and even so-called "professionals" don't have a good grasp on controlling rain water and knowing how important a good design is in respect to a skylight.
The least expensive skylights are the plastic bubble types you see in mobile home installations, and these almost always do leak. If they don't leak initially, they will, given enough time. I would rather turn the job down than to install one of these type skylights.
There are not many brands of skylights on the market that I would stand behind and guarantee not to leak, but there were two brands that I would have recommended and had successfully installed leak free for over 25 years – Andersen and Velux.
Andersen has stopped making them, though. Even though they manufactured a great skylight and step flashing kit, an Andersen sales rep told me that because people didn't install them properly, which caused enough complaints, they shuttled the line. That was very unfortunate.
Now, Velux is the only brand I would recommend, although there are probably other brands around the nation that I'm currently unfamiliar with. The secret to a leak-proof installation is the proper implementation of the step flashing kit. A thoroughly installed step flashing kit provides the best assurance of a leak-free installation.
Corners cannot be cut or shortcuts taken when performing this task. There are many brands of skylights that say they have a "self-flashing" skylight that won't leak. Don't believe this sales jargon; there is no skylight capable of flashing itself.
If you don't understand the concept of capturing and controlling the flow of water when assimilated with a roofing system, then I would say this may not be a DIY'er project. If you do and the proper steps are followed with the step flashing kit, you can rest assured that a leak-free installation can be accomplished.

So - on my Octoberfest, I discovered a sharp astringency to it using my local tap water. A poster suggested crushing a Campden tablet to the boil water to remove chloramine(sp) because this does not boil out. I did this, and something odd happened that has not happened on a hundred or more prior batches - my yeast seemed to drop off too early. OG was 1.050 and FG was 1.018. Fermentation was slow to start, but blew good for several days. I added yeast nutrient to this batch to try to counter the Campden affects.
My question is this - is 1 tablet for 5 gallons enough to cause this?
It's possible. 1 tablet per 20 gallons is the usual amount for treating chlorine and chloramines. The boil should have driven off most of the excess, I would think, but any that remained would make reproduction much more difficult for your yeast. If they never reached a sufficiently high population, it's possible they could have flocced out early, I suppose. Good luck with this brew, but next time, make sure to use it in the proper amount.
Don't worry, be hoppy.
ok I have done a ton of reading and things get mixed up in my brain so please forgive me...
but when making wine don't you add campden before adding it to the primary and pitching yeast? And then add it again during rackings? I don't think the campden bothers the yeast does it? I know if you want to back sweeten your wine you can add sugar and then .... Something... To sterilize the yeast (cant think of name)
you add 1 campden tablet per gallon (for wine) ... Unless campden has a totally different effect on beer and beer yeast... As this is the first time I've seen it mentioned on here...
and I could be totally wrong! :/
You add 1 campden per gallon of must to initially kill/ stun wild yeast and bacteria. After 24 hours you add wine yeast which is rumored to have a tolerance to sulfites (campden). You wait because the sulfites will precipitate out. After fermentation is complete you add about 1/4 tsp sulfites( equall to about 5 or 6 campdens i think) every 3 to 4 months to keep it from spoiling. You can also add sorbate which stops the yeast from procreating.
I usually add 1/4 to 1/8 tablet to my water before brewing. I usually mix it in first with the other water salts and let it sit for a bit while I prep everything else. I've never used 1 hole tablet but I wouldn't think it would do anything after being boiled. Its also a lot less then what you add to wine initially. ??????

ECS has just launched the Z97I-DRONE and H97I-DRONE mini-ITX LGA1150 motherboards. These motherboards were first unveiled at Computex and we later got to go hands on with them at an ECS press event last month. The two motherboards are pretty much identical to each other except for the two different chipsets.

Source: Blood found in missing Nantucket woman's car - 0 Comments
WEST BARNSTABLE - A police source, not directly part of the investigation, said this morning that police had found traces of blood in the rental car of a Nantucket woman missing since Thursday and also that the woman was pregnant.
A 5½-hour search Saturday in several areas of West Barnstable and Hyannis involved K-9 officers, a state police helicopter and more than a dozen police officers. There was no sign in Hyannis, Barnstable or West Barnstable that the same level of search was resumed yesterday.

Daniel Auteuil plays a French private investigator, now living in London because of a tragedy that killed his wife and daughter in Paris.
Good film, a little hard to follow at times due to the actor's French accent, but some great twists and turns.

Election Observation Missions: Making them CountJul 19, 2011
International election observation is a work in progress, much like the international democratic system it aims to promote and develop. Today election observation is disproportionately focused on the pre-election and election periods at the expense of the post-election period. International organizations, national governments, and civil society are familiar with what is expected both before and during an election. Election "practices" exist and an international set of principles is now emerging to guide international elections observers both before and during elections. more
The ANC and Post-Apartheid South Africa Quo Vadis: One Hundred Years Going on TwentyJul 15, 2011
The advent of democracy in 1994 came with the promise of a society whose race, political, economic and social relations would be the antithesis of what they had been under apartheid. The post-apartheid order would deliver what the ANC calls "a better life for all." What has happened since the ANC came to power can best be summarized in three ways: First, there has been some improvement in the political, social and economic conditions of the majority. Second, democratic, policy and delivery deficits have emerged. more
Trade & Economic DevelopmentJul 14, 2011
This paper is intended to promote discussion as to the role that trade can play in speeding development in Africa and the possible steps that can be taken to enable Africa to participate more fully in the global market. It does not cover all the barriers to expanding trade by African countries. Other important topics – notably infrastructure, especially ports and roads, and corruption – are discussed in other conference papers. It also does not include issues that are not directly related to trade and which can only be dealt with in the longer term, such as improved health and education, which were critical components of the success of the Asian "tigers". more

A Challenge: The Arab Spring in North Africa and its Ramification on the ContinentJul 12, 2011
After the demise of the Soviet Bloc and the democratic transitions of Eastern Europe which witnessed very dramatic changes in internal and external polices of those countries, many thought that this would be the model for the Arab world to emulate. However, it was generally thought that it would be a decade before the Arab world was ready for such a transition. Accelerating the pace of democratization it was believed, would pave the way for extremist religious parties to assume power, leading to a radical shift in the foreign policy orientation of key Arab states. more
Peace, Security & DemocracyJul 12, 2011
The recent events in Northern Africa and in Côte D'Ivoire remind us that peace remains fragile in Africa. They also show the existence, in the long-term, of an intimate relationship between political stability and democracy. Indeed, the lack of the latter often jeopardizes the former. Despite great improvements in the stability and economic growth of many African states, some of its regions still experience significant domestic conflicts. more
Africa's Infrastructure Regional Challenges and OpportunitiesJul 12, 2011
A binding constraint on African development is the continent's crippling infrastructure deficit. Infrastructure is a crucial stimulant for growth and development.

Well-functioning and effectively maintained infrastructure is essential to Africa's economic performance. more

I'm making a webapp for iOS.
When I make a dropdown list with the element, it appears as a normal dropdown list until the user actually clicks it, at which time the iOS-style roller menu slides up into view for the user to make a selection.
Is there a way to make that roller menu stay in sight constantly, as the default visible element regardless of whether the user has manipulated it?
The user would just roll it to the value they want, then click a separate continue button, and the roller would stay in view all the while until the page was left.
Is that possible?
