wow nice hack/fix, I think I would have given up before that
I tried to replace the wireless G card in my laptop with a wireless N one, except for reasons only HP think are fine, they have added a whitelist to the laptop BIOS that prevents you booting with any other card installed
The new N card works 100% if I hot swap it during POST, so there is no reason for them to block it except to be awkward, and my version laptop BIOS seems impossible to remove the whitelist from

I went to the gym the other day to do some weight training and I wanted to get warmed up first. I decided that a gentle jog on the treadmill would get the blood moving. As soon as I started jogging a really pretty girl got on the treadmill next to me and started running and I ended running a lot faster and longer than I had originally intended to and my weight training suffered because of it.
The worst part is that I knew exactly what I was doing, but I did it anyway.

Huge maggots - What are they?
I open the lid of my worm bin and the top was covered with
these huge white maggot looking critters. I had threw a hand full of all purpose pelleted feed in a couple of days
ago. They have a sour odor. The moister level is ok.
What do I need to do to get rid of them. I tried covering
them with paper and leaves.
In all likelihood they are Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) for short.
They're not habitually in indoor bins but can be common if your bin is outside. Alternatively they could possibly come in from a manure pile that was outside that you fed to your worm herd.
They'll eat a huge amount of food, and not wait for it to decompose. They can live side-by-side with your worms. But they are a fly larvae and will morph into a fly.
Do they look like these?
Pick them and feed them to the birds or koi
You may not want to get rid of them. The link below has lots of info.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://blacksoldierflyblog.com/
You may even consider starting a separate bin for the maggots. Although they won't harm the worms directly, they can produce enough heat to make things uncomfortable for the worms. The link below shows my basic BSFL bin. You would not need much bedding in the larger bin - just enough to make the mature grubs "comfortable" until you take them out to meet your chickens.
Here is a link that might be useful: DIY BSFL bin
I always get a chuckle when I read posts of people just discovering BSF. Mostly because I am insanely jealous of places that get them naturally. They do not occur here in AB, Canada but I wish they did. By what I have read about the amount of waste material they can consume, the fact they self harvest themselves out of the compost and the fact they are a good protein and calcium feed source makes me think about moving to warmer climes. That plus winter gets depressing some days.
BSF is a great boon to your composting. You should definitely encourage/ manage them as they are potentialy more productive composters than worms.
Here is a link that might be useful: Black Soldier Fly
plumiebear, I enjoyed your link to your BSF bin. I have a few questions. How does the grubs get from the food bin up
and over to the the big bin? Do you put a top on both bins or just the big bin? With a lid on the large bin, how do the flys get to the food to lay eggs?
Thanks again for your link.
boreal_wormer, I've found them for sale as well. From what I've read so far you will be able to mature the BSFL into the adult fly but as far as getting them to breed in controlled environment it will take some work (and money). I think to be able to get them to reproduce in our climate you'd need a heated greenhouse (or quonset?) to be able to provide bushes, grass, (some kind of natural environment) for them. In the house is out of the question for me, had to do a bit of convincing to have the worm bins indoors. If you have some success with this be sure to post. I'd definately be interested.
loftin60, the mature grubs (darker color) are able to crawl up the vertical surface of the smaller food bin because there is always condensation on the walls. There is a lid only on the larger bin.
I thought that soldier flies were no longer laying eggs this late in the year, so I did not drill any access/exit holes in the bins. However, a few days ago a fly actually "hatched" from one of the pupae in the pupating (larger) bin. I decided to transfer the grubs to larger bins. This time I drilled 3/4" holes and moved the setup outdoors in case the newly emerged fly is able to find a mate and returns to lay eggs. I doubt it, but you never know.
Here's a video of what my small colony looks like during the transfer.
Here is a link that might be useful: BSFL colony
That is a great video! Is this a dedicated BSFL bin or is it shared with your worms? How did you get the grubs? Did you buy them or was lucky they came to you? How can you attract them to your bin? They don't seem to be as sensitive to light as the worms are. That is a very interesting concept!
I'm in Ont, and picked a bunch of worms out of a horse manure pile last week. I was putting them into their new home, in a bin in my spare bedroom.
Damned near freaked when I saw a BSFL in amongst the worms. He obviously was abiding in the manure pile.
Can you find some manure piles to root around in (get some worms and hopefully some BSFL?)
Thanks, Sandra. It is a dedicated BSFL bin system (small bin inside a larger bin). I'm in No. California and by the time I learned of BSFL it was too late to try and establish a local colony to maintain over the winter. I ordered a "BSF multi-stage starter kit" from Jerry at blacksoldierflyblog.com. What you saw in the video is what the starter kit developed into after 3 1/2 weeks. Since BSF have nearly stopped egg laying in Jerry's area, he's stopped selling the starter kit until next spring. You could contact him about buying just grubs without the eggs.
Like jasdip described, people often find them in their compost bins, manure, etc. If the conditions are right they can quickly dominate a worm bin. (steamyb had a bad experience with that) When that happens the bin becomes too hot (85-100ºF) for the worms. You can probably attract BSFL next spring. I suggest starting a dedicated BSFL bin rather than trying to incorporate them into a worm bin. See #2 on this FAQ:
Here is a link that might be useful: BSFL FAQ
jasdip, haven't heard of them naturally occuring in AB. My family has an acreage a couple hours out of town right in the heart of horse, cattle and farming country and I haven't noticed any.
The "neighbor" keeps beef cattle on his quarter and we keep a compost pile as well and have only noticed worms and the more common flies around here. I haven't actually rooted around a manure pile though. I've tagged along with him to move cattle, just to see how it's done, but I'm not sure what he'd think of city boys that want to dig through his manure for bugs.
BSF wow always wondered what those uber productive things were. I compost in a huge open bin, kitchen scraps go into tidy cat buckets with the bottom cut off and then buried to its hinged lid works great for my maggots. when full I pull the bucket and move it.
minitrucker, that's a great idea! Simple and sounds like it would work to provide the hot & wet environment the BSFL prefer while temporarily quarantining the food waste. Once the grubs have processed the material, it will be perfect for the other critters to finish it off. Any mature grubs could migrate to the "normal" part of the bin to pupate. I may try this if I can't get a dedicated BSFL bin to work next Spring.

One degree of Thomas Merton
On today's centenary of the birth of Thomas Merton, the vastly influential Roman Catholic monk and author, it's worth remembering that he didn't just write classic books and think provocative thoughts. He also kept remarkable company. Amazingly so, for a cloistered monk who spent his last years as a hermit -- if you can call him that for all the visitors that came and went from his little hut in the Kentucky woods.
My article on the legacy of Merton at 100 is here.
In fact, you can make a strong case that more than anyone else, you can tell the story of 20th century intellectual and cultural life through the story of Thomas Merton.
The list of his contacts is encyclopedic. In fact you can look them up in the Thomas Merton Encyclopedia, a book that really exists and that is deserved by Merton as it is by few other authors.
Among Merton's contacts: French philosopher Jacques Maritain, with whom he corresponded and whom he hosted at his hermitage, spending some of the time listening to a Bob Dylan album; Russian novelist Boris Pasternak, with whom he corresponded across the Iron Curtain; Islamic Sufis such as Abdul Aziz; Buddhist luminaries such as D.T. Suzuki and Thich Nhat Hanh; and even folk singer Joan Baez, who visited him at the hermitage and with whom he hopefully didn't discuss Bob Dylan.
Wanting to learn photography, Merton drew on the help and darkroom expertise of the remarkable photographer John Howard Griffin -- whose life story is one of the most amazing even in that century of amazing biographies, only partly due to his "Black Like Me" Odyssey. Griffin took some of the best portraits of Merton, and developed and printed many of the monks' own meditative photos, including one of Merton's last, overlooking a Bangkok harbor, in a scene resembling Merton's description of a dream of his impending death.
And as if a friendship with one remarkable photographer were enough, Merton also had a close one with Ralph Eugene Meatyard, about whom a poignant play has been written and who took many remarkable Merton portraits. Among the photos is one of Merton hosting a poetry reading at his hermitage with poets Denise Levertov and a young Wendell Berry, who has more than inherited Merton's mantle with his literary/social critiques nourished in the Kentucky soil.
You could call Merton the Zelig or Forest Gump of the 20th century religious world, but the difference is that these fictional characters had no clue about all the impressive people they were interacting with. Merton knew, and engaged deeply with them.
Here's another measure. At the end of the 20th century, the public-broadcasting show Religion & Ethics Newsweekly had an expert panel select the 25 religious figures who most influenced America in the 20th century, Merton was on the list, one of only six Catholics in total and one of only two American Catholics.
But what's more remarkable is how many others on the list he interacted with.
The Catholic social activist Dorothy Day was one of his early inspirations and a longtime correspondent. Later on, Merton corresponded with and hosted Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a figure of titanic influence in articulating Judaism's bond of spirituality and socially prophetic voice. Heschel had been working behind the scenes with Catholics drafting the landmark document Nostra Aetate, which opened a warmer era of Catholic-Jewish ties. But there were challenges from bishops who wanted the document to insert language reaffirming the longstanding Catholic goal of converting Jews to Christianity. Merton, after meeting with Heschel, wrote to the cardinal drafting the document, encouraging him to stay with the more inclusive version, which ultimately was approved by the Second Vatican Council in 1965.
Another figure on that list was the Dalai Lama, with whom Merton met in India and formed a deep bond just weeks before Merton's accidental death in Bangkok.
"I always considered him a strong bridge between Buddhism and Christianity," the Dalai Lama said years later in a visit to Merton's Abbey of Gethsemani. "His sudden death was a great loss."
Merton also wrote to another person on the PBS list, Pope John XXIII, encouraging his reforms. Scholars have speculated whether Merton influenced John's landmark peace encyclical, "Pacem in terris," but both John and later Pope John Paul II (also on the list) are known to have been familiar with Merton's works.
A mutual friend was also working on arranging a visit by the Rev. Martin Luther King (also on the list) and Coretta Scott King to the hermitage in early 1968. Plans didn't materialize, but they hoped to arrange a meeting later. Neither would survive that traumatic year. Their legacies are still unfolding.

Hello All,
I am in the beginging stages of menopause. I have the night sweats, the irritability etc. I went out on stress leave from my job 2 years ago and was put on lexipro by my doctor.
I noticed something new. The small amount of pateince I have and how easily irritated I get. When I least expect it, the irritation comes on without warning and after two or three things happen that irriate me, I find myself bursting into tears.
I am trying to go back to work and I am concerned about this happening at work. Has anyone found a solution or anything that can help with this?
I feel your pain. I can get annoyed and aggravated at the drop of a hat lately over really miniscule things. The only thing that does work for me, and many may not want to hear it, is to go to the gym and sweat it out for at least 30 minutes every morning. I run, do the elliptical, whatever i can to work up a sweat and get some bottled up energy and aggravation out of my system. It does work, and i always feel better afterwards. Other than a pill that is all i can think of right now.

Football fans can choose from more than 20 new food outlets at the MCG this AFL season as part of an extensive redevelopment to offer a range of high-quality alternatives.
The changes follow a review by the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) and EPICURE that identified the need for more options and better value for money.
The new menu includes hot dog creations from around the globe at The Dog Bar, fish and chip favourites with a modern twist from The Fish Shop, gourmet buns and baguettes from The Food Store and bakery treats from The Coffee Shop.
"We have identified trends in the food that consumers are demanding today," said MCC Executive Manager, Hospitality, Rebecca Harvey.
"For example, The Dog Bar was influenced by a wave of gourmet hot dog shops opening across Melbourne, while The Food Store, with fresh sandwiches and salads made to go, is modelled on the look and feel of a European deli or general store."
Existing staples will complement the new menu options and the MCG will continue to promote healthy eating – offering a number of nutritious alternatives, such as pita wraps, salad rolls and salads.
"The MCG is expanding its food offering to provide footy fans with more choice," said EPICURE's National Manager, Food Services, Robert Clifford.
"Our key objective is for the MCG to take the lead when it comes to food quality, service and delivery."
"We want to lift the bar of stadium catering, so the focus is not only on providing premium food, but also improving efficiency and offering customers a welcoming atmosphere – all of which were carefully considered in the design of the outlets."
In addition to the food outlets, the MCG is also introducing new food carts.
"The Curry Cart developed during the cricket season continues to be successful and we're also developing a soup cart especially for the football season," said Harvey.
The new outlets follow the successful opening of three new cafes – the Paddock Café, Barassi Café and Terrace Café – and the introduction of five new Crust Gourmet Pizza outlets last year.
Examples of the new menu items
The Food Store
• Chicken Schnitzel Bun – herbed crumbed breast of chicken with lemon and topped with creamy
• Smashing Pork Bun – freshly pulled pork with coleslaw and sticky BBQ sauce
• The Foodstore Standard Smoked Ham & Cheese

London (PRWEB UK) 18 October 2012
The SAS Group, an international provider of managed network and professional services, today announced the completion of a project to upgrade the wide area network (WAN) of leading urban leisure and entertainment specialist, Aspers. The new infrastructure, which connects four UK sites, is supported by a bespoke managed services agreement with the SAS Group.
When Aspers won the license to develop a world-class entertainment complex at the gateway to the Olympic Park, the company had just 12 months to complete the 65,000 sq ft casino ahead of the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Two important enablers for the operation of the new casino were the installation of a primary data centre, which would become the hub for all sites on the Aspers network estate, and the rollout of a new HD CCTV security system.

Sacred Trash
The Holy Junk Heap: In 1896, a cache of manuscripts -- mostly fragments -- was discovered in the storeroom ("genizah") at the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo. The collection outlines a 1,000-year continuum (870 CE to the 19th century) of Jewish Middle-Eastern and North African history and comprises the largest and most diverse collection of medieval manuscripts in the world, including Jewish religious texts such as Biblical, Talmudic and later Rabbinic works (some in the original hands of the authors), "letters, wills, bills of lading, prayers, marriage contracts and writs of divorce, Bibles, money orders, court depositions, business inventories, leases, magic charms and receipts" which give a detailed picture of the economic and cultural life of the North African and Eastern Mediterranean regions, especially during the 10th to 13th centuries.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Yarmulkes
You can tell a lot about a Jewish male by the type of yarmulke that he wears. Like the jacket and shirt on his back, the absence or presence of peyes, the headgear announces to the world his family's tradition and his Jewish denomination.
That's a lotta books
Over the past ten years, an organization called PJ Library Has distributed more than ten million free children's books and music with Jewish content directly to children ages 0 to 8 across the United States. The program is modeled on Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Not always without controversy, books contain information about Jewish-American culture, Israel, general values, Jewish holidays, and even occasionally mysticism. In 2014 PJL announced a new program to distribute books to Arab-Israeli preschoolers. Sign up here.

Deliver Us
Ridley Scott's new film Exodus: Gods and Kings recasts the myth of Moses in typically grimdark swords-and-sandals fashion. It... ain't so good. Want something more artful? Look no further than The Prince of Egypt [alt], an underrated masterpiece of DreamWorks' traditional animation era. Directed by Brenda Chapman (a first for women in animation), scored to spectacular effect by Hans Zimmer and Stephen Schwartz, and voiced by, among others, Voldemort, Batman, and Professor X, the ambitious film features gorgeous, striking visuals and tastefully integrated CGI in nearly every scene. It also manages the improbable feat of maturing beyond cartoon clichés while humanizing the prophet's journey from carefree scion to noble (and remorseful) liberator without offending half the planet -- while still being quite a fun ride.

Fan Fiction and Midrash
Fan stories, like midrash, give voice to characters who aren't front and center in narratives as we've received them. Rabbi Rachel Barenblat, who blogs at Velveteen Rabbi, has published an essay in Transformative Works and Cultures on the parallels between fan works that fill gaps in pop culture stories and midrash used to fill gaps in the Torah.

Adon Olam is a 12th century Jewish hymn traditionally sung at the end of Sabbath services in both Ashkenazic and Sephardic congregations. Maybe you've heard Uzi Hitman's disco version, which electrified the 1970's. But what may be most inspiring about the prayer is that it can fit to pretty much any melody. Here it is to Pharrell's Happy. Here it is to Gilbert and Sullivan's Modern Major General. Here's the Cups song. Even Amazing Grace. [more inside]

The Last of the Unjust
In 1941, the Nazis turned the the Czech fortress and town of Terezin into the ghetto of Theresienstadt. The ghetto was a transit center as well as a camp for high-profile people, and was turned into a "model Jewish settlement" in preparation for a Red Cross visit in 1944. The "embellishment" had the desired propaganda outcome - a "positive report." While researching Shoah, Claude Lanzmann interviewed Benjamin Murmelstein, the last surviving member of the Jewish Council of the Elders in Theresienstadt. That footage is now in a new film, "The Last Of The Unjust." [more inside]

Niza Yanay - the ideology of hatred: the psychic power of discourse
"The Ideology of Hatred": An interview with Niza Yanay - "Once we understand how hatred operates as an apparatus of power relations, and particularly how the discourse of hatred is motivated and mobilised in national conflicts, serious questions about misrecognition, veiled desires and symptomatic expressions arise. These questions have, to a large extent, been left unaddressed in studies of hatred between groups in conflict." [more inside]
"deconstruction, in French, would be nothing without puns"
What was Of Grammatology about? When Madeleine, the heroine of Jeffrey Eugenides's campus novel The Marriage Plot, asks a young theory-head this question, she is immediately set straight: 'If it was "about" anything, then it was about the need to stop thinking of books as being about things.' That's not so far off. In all three books, Derrida's argument was that Western thought from Plato to Rousseau to Lévi-Strauss had been hopelessly entangled in the illusion that language might provide us with access to a reality beyond language, beyond metaphor: an unmediated experience of truth and being which he called 'presence'.—Not in the Mood by Adam Shatz is an essay in The London Review of Books about a new biography of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. The review does a good job of explaining Derrida's theories in simple language and putting it in the context of his life, from his childhood as French Jew in Vichy-controlled Algeria to his later years as a globetrotting academic star. For a complimentary perspective on Derrida, you can do worse than starting with these thoughts on his relevance for historians and progressives.

"The story of how some 200 pages of the codex went missing — and to this day remain the object of searches carried out around the globe by biblical scholars, private investigators, shadowy businessmen and the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency — is one of the great mysteries in Jewish history."

Circumcision in Germany is now illegal
A German court has ruled that male circumcision is "bodily harm" and that a child's right to "physical integrity" trumps parental or religious rights. Jews and Muslims have reacted strongly to the decision, with some going as far to allege anti-Semitism. Intactivists are generally pleased.

I talked with Chomsky about his upbringing in a Jewish home in Philadelphia by Cultural Zionist parents who devoted their lives to the revival of Hebrew language and culture, and about some of the strange bedfellows that he has acquired in five decades of impassioned crusading.

An Unorthodox Controversy
In February, author Deborah Feldman spoke with xoJane's (and Metafilter's own) hermitosis about the backlash she experienced from the Hasidic community in the days leading up the release of her tell-all memoir "Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots." Today xoJane granted another Hasidic woman from the interview post her own rebuttal to the original article, "What Women's Media Needs to Know About Chassidic Women," in which she defends her religion against feminists and "poor Deborah Feldman" sympathizers. Metafilter's own hermitosis responds in the comments.
Let my people know.
While Passover is an ancient and rich tradition, the story it celebrates didn't actually ever happen. The people who eventually became the Jews were almost certainly never in Egypt in any significant numbers, were never slaves there, and never made a long journey out of Egypt across the Sinai.
Gray zone, schmay zone
Almost immediately upon my arrival in my first teaching job, I became the go-to guy for the Holocaust. Of course, this was partly due to my dissertation, but in larger part, I suspect, because of my Jewishness. This was fine with me for a number of reasons. First, as a junior faculty member, this identification, though merely professional, could only help in my quest for tenure. An expert on the Holocaust carried infinitely greater weight, I thought, than an expert on ministerial instability during the French Third Republic.

In October 1870, as American Jews were observing the High Holidays, The Atlantic Magazine published an article called "Our Israelitish Bretheren."

Nationwide Homes opens a new HiPerformance model in Martinsville, Virginia. The Homestead V is one of 8 models in our popular collection of homes - Homestead Collection. Homestead Collection homes...
"I was a customer for Southeast Homes (Wendell Varnes) in 2010/2011. Mr. Varnes was referred to us through Nationwide Homes. The project was a 3/2 coastal, 2 story-2,100 square foot modular home built on piers.
We were building a part time home in South Carolina but our home state is Georgia. We were nervous about the process since we were out of state and not readily available to be on site. Mr. Varnes made this process very smooth and he was easy to work with. He would always interject his ideas and suggestions throughout the process. We only have to meet a couple of times throughout the entire process. We handled communication via the phone and/or email.
The modular home turned out beautifully and more importantly well built. The home was built to code and all permits and inspections were done with no issues. There were some "punch list" items as you will on any new construction and those items were taken care of timely.
Mr. Varnes has good solid employees/contractors that he uses for various stages such as plumbing, sheetrock, paint, electrical, roofing...etc. I personally met many of the subs at the job site and was very comfortable with them and their work.
Mr. Varnes still has a key to my home, even though it is done for some afterthought items I wanted to get done. I have full trust and confidence in him. Mr. Varnes is a man with integrity, ethics and morals and I highly recommend him for any construction job."

By Charlie Pye-Smith. Viking; 304 pages; £20.CLEOPATRA'S WEDDING PRESENT: TRAVELS THROUGH SYRIA. By Robert Tewdwr Moss.

By Martin Fletcher. Little, Brown; 304 pages; £17.99
NORMAN LEWIS is different. Less gifted travel writers need a hook to catch and keep their readers' attention. The status of weird or unpopular outsider is currently favoured, and all the other authors under review strive to achieve it, with varying degrees of contortion and success.
Charlie Pye-Smith sets out, in "Rebels and Outcasts", to see predominantly Hindu India through the eyes of its Christian minority. Robert Tewdwr Moss is a randy western homosexual cruising through an Arab police state in "Cleopatra's Wedding Present". Dervla Murphy, an elderly Irish woman, pedals a bicycle "South from the Limpopo"—a foolhardy mode of transport in South Africa, where white people are supposed to stay in their cars. More prosaically, in "Almost Heaven", Martin Fletcher, a foreign correspondent, ventures into strange parts of the United States that spook many of the natives.
But more about these later. Unlike them, Norman Lewis needs no hook, no angle. Now in his late 80s, he has been at the top of the premier league since the late 1930s. His rivals should read his "The World, the World", if only to get an inkling of how Salieri felt about Mozart.
Among his many talents, Mr Lewis possesses a marvellously acute eye for the absurd. Outside a strip-tease tent in Thailand he notices a sign that reads: "Teasing to stop for one half hour for necessities of bodily relief. To resume so please to return with our thanks." And another over the elaborately carved lintel of the entrance to a temple enclosure that says: "All doors are open. Courtesy and affability conciliate."
Time and again, he catches the essence of a place in a single sentence. The lazy arrogance of the American rich in pre-communist Cuba, for instance. There, at the Jaimanitas Club, he watched aghast as "waiters waded waist-deep into the sea carrying daiquiris for club members who preferred not to leave the water."
Mr Lewis's introductions to new topics and new characters are just as arresting. "I got out and wandered a short way along an uphill drive to the house [of Ernest Hemingway], little realising that with each step I came nearer to the threshold of an experience which was to change my outlook on life." Or moving on to Spain: "Two days later Pepa Boix came to work for me. She was a small, grey, shapeless, furiously energetic woman in her fifties, who was under supervision by the police. This was due to imprudent curiosity shown at the beginning of the Civil War."
Gossip adds bite to his stories. The extreme meanness of Jonathan Cape, the founder of the publishing house, and his advice to budding authors: "Always write a book about Nelson. Never write a book about South America." Ian Fleming trying to persuade Edith Sitwell to collaborate with him on a study of a Swiss philosopher, Paracelsus. The low-down on how Hemingway ducked the challenge to a duel.
When compared with Norman Lewis, the master, the other four are journeyman writers. Yet each has something worthwhile to say, and says it well enough to make these stand out among the dozens of travel books that arrive for possible review.
Mr Pye-Smith finds in parts of Christian India a meeting place for the wisdom of the East and the knowledge of the West. It is here, in an immense country where Christianity is the faith of a tiny, often beleaguered, minority, that he comes to see that: "The triumph of Christianity, surely, is its universality: it is a religion which reaches out to all nations and people. Certainly, men can choose to reject the message of the cross, but that is their choice." It is a truth denied by the exclusive Protestant sects that he so despises.
The insight of Robert Tewdwr Moss, who died after completing "Cleopatra's Wedding Present", is that to subscribe to an inhumane system does not necessarily mean you are inhumane yourself. He cites the behaviour of a secret policeman in Syria. The policeman seems evil when he flags down a bus and demands to see everybody's passport and papers. But when the bus passes a café the policeman stops it once more, gets out and ten minutes later reboards carrying 12 pots of ice cream, which he distributes among the passengers.
Dervla Murphy's account of cycling through South Africa, during its transition to majority rule, takes the form of a diary. In a country where political and criminal violence were then running at remarkably high levels, her apparent battiness helped protect her from harm (Africans called her "mama", Afrikaners "ouma"). Yet she can be a shrewd observer—noting, for instance, that in the real world "justice for all" and Nelson Mandela's ideal of reconciliation are incompatible.
After eight years of reporting for the Times from Washington, Martin Fletcher travels from coast to coast in search of "the other America" that most urbanised Americans never know, the country beyond the familiar land of strip malls and fast food. He meets moonshiners and marijuana-growers in Appalachia, secessionists in Texas, polygamists in Utah, tax-resisters in Idaho. He discovers an African village off the coast of Georgia, marvels at the absence of any sign noting that the lovely Hopi village of Old Oraibi is probably the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the country, dating back to at least 1150. He relishes rituals from high-school football games to Navajo sweat lodge ceremonies.
Fascinated though he is with the exotica, Mr Fletcher has a deeper purpose. His out of the way places, odd customs and vivid characters say as much, if not more, about America as any amount of reporting from Washington. Not only are they powerful reminders of the country's European, African and Indian heritage. They are also uninhibited embodiments of certain American values: religious fundamentalism in myriad forms, fervent idealism, mistrust of government. In other words, he seeks, and often finds, the hidden truth behind the outward appearances—the quest that exercises most good travel writers.

Substituting a 72 watt halogen for a 75 watt incandescent?
I have a new light fixture that instructs me to use a maximum 75 watt A19 medium base lamp. A 75 watt incandescent bulb was included in the package
If I choose to use a halogen bulb rather than an incandescent, can I use a 72 watt halogen or do I have to use a 53 watt halogen that is equivalent to 75 watt incandescent?
If it is a matter of energy efficiency, then I assume that a 72 watt halogen bulb would be comparable to the 75 watt incandescent bulb in terms of energy use. It would, however, provide brighter light (1490 lumen for the 72 watt halogen vs about 1100 for the 75 watt incandescent).
I need as much light as possible from this fixture, so I would like to use the 72 watt halogen. Are there other factors to consider besides wattage and lumen in determining whether or not I can substitute the 72 watt halogen for the 75 watt incandescent ?
Heat is a factor in enclosed fixtures. I do not know if a 72 watt halogen generates higher temperatures in an enclosed fixture than does a 75 watt incandescent. But I doubt that it does. The halogen capsule within the lamp does operate at higher temperature. But that capsule is somewhat isolated within the lamp.
Just a guess, but the 72 watt halogen should not damage the fixture more than does a 75 watt incandescent.
Thank you, bus-driver. Like you, I don't know if a 72 watt halogen generates significantly more heat than an 75 watt incandescent. Heat would be my main concern.
Each vertical fixture has two 7-inch glass cylinders--one facing up and the other facing down. The cylinders are open at each end and are wide enough for me to fit my hand inside to turn the bulb. I hope the opening is wide enough to let any extra heat dissipate.
For now I can use the 75 watt incandescent provided with the fixture, but I think the 72 watt halogen would produce more light. In the future when 75 watt incandescent bulbs are no longer available, I would prefer to continue using a 72 watt halogen rather than switch to a lower wattage halogen. These fixtures will have dimmers and won't be on all the time, so energy efficiency is not as great a concern here as it might be in some spaces. There are times when I will need full light, however, so my goal is to find the brightest option possible.
As long as you cannot actually see the halogen capsule it should be fine.
If you CAN see the halogen capsule you need some filtering on the glass.
The spectrum is much wider and can damage things (like make plastic brittle, make cloth brittle).
The light intensity is very high, even after filtering out the small amount of UV produced.
Measure the temp with the OE lamps and then with halogens. (Stick a thermometer into the cylinders.) I bet the temperature will be lower with the halogens installed if you find any difference at all. The halogen lamp is a lower power. Halogen produces more light and less heat. Since both types produce mostly heat, the difference in heat output will be less noticeable than the difference in light output (3.5% vs 2.1% of total power in visible light).
I know that the 72 watt halogen will probably produce similar light but less heat that its equivalent 100 watt incandescent, but I am just not sure how it compares to a 75 watt incandescent.
If the fixture calls for a 75 watt maximum incandescent, does that mean I have to use the 53 watt halogen that is equivalent to a 75 watt incandescent, or can I go ahead and use a 72 watt halogen (equivalent 100 watt incandescent)?
When the manufacturer specifies maximum wattage, I assume it is to control amount of heat generated. The fixture is not installed yet so I can't test directly with a thermometer. If I can get enough light by using the higher wattage halogen, I might be able to get along with two fixtures in the vanity area (other lighting in the room is some distance from the vanity). If I can't get enough light in that area from just these two fixtures, then I need to ask the electrician to put in a can or some other light in the ceiling. I'd rather avoid that if possible. The electrician is coming this week, so I have to try to figure this out without being able to do any direct testing before he arrives.
I will call the manufacturer on Monday.
In the meantime, I went to a couple of lighting stores today and got 3 different answers to my question. One store consultant said, "Yes, of course you can substitute a 72 watt halogen for a 75 watt incandescent--no problem." Another said, "Definately not. The heat might damage the fixture so you must use the lower 53 watt halogen when replacing a 75 watt incandescent." The third said he had heard both answers from various sources, but he would err on the side of caution and use the 53 watt. I came home no wiser than when I set out.
I just hope the manufacturer can give me an accurate answer.
The original post did not mention the open cylinders. So it is not an enclosed fixture.
"Each vertical fixture has two 7-inch glass cylinders--one facing up and the other facing down. The cylinders are open at each end and are wide enough for me to fit my hand inside to turn the bulb. I hope the opening is wide enough to let any extra heat dissipate. "
If a cylinder is vertical and open at each end, how can it be considered to be facing only up -or down?
My expectations for customer support for issues like this are always low. They might answer that it has not been tested. If they answer no, and you follow up with "why", they will probably verbally "shrug" or say that it has not been tested. That will probably be after a month after an engineers' meeting to discuss the problems that have come up in the past month.
Bus_driver, I had the same problem that you did. My best guess is that the cylinders are cylinders are horizontally oriented and not completely closed on the curved surface. They are more like a "C" in cross section.
Sorry for not describing the fixture clearly. It is the Hudson Wall fixture from Tech Lighting, model # 700WSHUD2
The fixture can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
The back plate is 4 inches square with a 2 inch band of metal in the middle. There are two sockets, one on each side of the center band. A round cylinder of glass fits over the bulb in each socket. The cylinders are 7 inches long x 3.5 inch diameter. I meant to say that each cylinder it open at one end. When mounted vertically, the upper cylinder is open on the top and the lower cylinder is open at the bottom.
The final decision is up to you, but I don't see any problem with
using 72watt halogens there. They will generate less total heat than a 75 watt bulb (by a trivial amount). You may want to put it on a dimmer (which will itself cut the light output by a small amount).
I might go for the CF version myself.
That is a nice looking fixture. (But I am a fan of contemporary design.)
The 72-watt halogen bulbs would be fine. Looks-wise, the higher color temp of halogen would even be an advantage. However if it is a highly used fixture, more than say 1-3 hours/day, I would suggest simply using LED A19 bulbs and never worry about it again.

What Legacy Will We Leave Behind?
Donate To The GTP
Latest post from The GTP Blog: . . . At a recent conference in Carrara, Italy we presented a workshop on how interdisciplinary collaborative relationships can be valuable in affecting global communities through creative works. In preparing for this workshop Professor Shackel and I had to find a common ground upon which to stand. . . And then we ran into the word 'conflict.'. Read More
Throughout 2015 we are looking at essential questions:
- How can we most contribute to the future of a planet that, as it becomes more global is also becoming more territorial?
- What legacy can we leave our children and why are the arts so vital to their inheritance?
- How can theatrical processes offer tools that assist individuals to both navigate and lead through this global landscape?
The role of the arts has shifted in this century. We are at the edge of a new conversation. No one can stand on the sidelines as the international landscape shifts and changes. Our children and university students must pro-actively stand with our artists in the center of this new reality.

How Not To Be Robbed
I was leaving an ATM machine at 7:54 pm in a well-lit bank parking lot when I looked to my left and saw a young guy with a gun pointed at me. To make a long story short, he wasn't satisfied with the $20 I had in my wallet. (I never carry lots of cash if I can help it.) "I'll %!&# shoot you, I swear, if you don't withdraw all the money in your account," he said calmly and deliberately. Not wanting to make my wife a widow, I didn't argue except to tell him that there were cameras everywhere and that he was going to get caught. I told him that he wouldn't shoot me for only $200. When I handed him the cash, I showed him my ATM receipt. "See? That's all I have." I lied, but he didn't look carefully. He told me. "Stand there for five minutes and don't move." As soon as he disappeared, I called 911 on my cell phone, which I had left in my car.
I then had to spend an hour with the police in the parking lot. They brought in a helicopter with infrared sensors and a police dog. They were able to trace the fresh scent to a dumpster and the helicopter was able to tell them that there was a "hot spot" where a vehicle had just been. Fascinating. I also had to drive half way across to town to spend another hour with a composite artist and we produced the following.
I realize the danger in posting this, but hopefully this guy won't spend a lot of time reading Blogs before he gets caught. And he will get caught eventually. There is a $5000 reward being offered in such cases. And he's not that smart. He was in plain sight of cameras and his face was exposed. If it were me, I would have also asked for my victim's wallet, cell phone and car keys, I would have been wearing gloves and I would have thrown them in the dumpster. That would have given him a few more minutes. I learned a lot from this. I thank God I was not shot and it only cost me $220 to take steps to avoid this happening in the future.
How not to be robbed
1. Avoid ATMs whenever possible. I was shocked at how easily I caved in upon the threat of being shot dead, but somehow $200 wasn't worth it. Unless it is a crowded area with armed security in sight, or it is an emergency, make all your deposits during bank hours. I only went to make deposit a check, but from now on, I am not using ATMs to do this. Nowadays, you can use your debit card in convenient stores and supermarkets to withdraw cash when making a purchase. It's no guarantee, but it is less likely that you'll be robbed in a store than in a parking lot.
2. If you are alone, have a cell phone with you. Keeping this in the car was probably a good idea in my case, because if the thief wanted to steal it, I still had to unlock the car to get the cell phone. The police later asked me why I didn't use my cell-phone camera to take a photo. I was amazed that they actually asked this. The guy had a gun, and he would have taken the camera and possibly shot me in the process.
3. Remain calm and cooperate. I'll admit upon seeing a gun, my first thoughts were, "Is it a toy?" but upon being threatened I decided that no amount of money I could withdraw from an ATM is worth my life.
4. If you are being robbed at gunpoint take your time. Don't move too fast or too slow. If the thief's face is in view, make a good mental picture of what he looks like. Pay attention to the eyes, eyebrows, cheekbones, mouth, chin and facial hair. Try to remember it. I was surprised when the composite artist showed me mug shots of people who had been arrested next to drawings she had made. Some were almost perfect representations. These were all drawn just from composite books and the victim's memory. It's likely that the thief will think he's clever and won't be caught. If he keeps robbing people, eventually he will be caught. That composite photo is going to be invaluable to other people besides you.
How should we then live?
We live like we are never going to die. We don't think about how violent our culture has become. We see it, but don't think it could happen to us. It's important to think out these scenarios. How can we be act to be safe? What is the right thing to do in every imaginable emergency?
Last week, there was a death in my wife's family, I had to break up a fistfight between two sixteen-year-old students in my school, and today someone pointed a gun at me. Each in their own way, these emergencies were new experiences to me. It has made me think about things differently. I am asking the same question the disciples posed, "How should we then live?" (Luke 3:10; Ezekiel 33:10).

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Sashco Transformation Stain vs. TWP 116
I saw an ad in a cabin magazine for Transformation stain by a company named Sashco, the ad got my attention because they were showing pictures of their stain after years of exterior (ab)use and competing stains such as TWP. My porch is stained with TWP 116 and I'm not overly thrilled with how short the stain lasts on parts exposed to rain/sun (I live in a mild area, no extreme sun).
Anyway, I was curious if anyone has used the Sashco Transformation stain and can compare it to competing stains such as TWP to shed light on how accurate Sashco's comparisons are. If you e-mail Sashco they'll send you a PDF with pictures of their stain and many competing stains after years of (ab)use.
Also, would it be an issue putting the Transformation stain ontop of a TWP 116 stained surface (Ipe wood)?

If your partner is your best friend, then lucky you. You have found the best union between friendship and love. But a lot of people worry that their partner is not their best friend, and that the relationship is based on just an initial physical attraction and nothing else. Then when that peters out, there will be nothing left.So how do you tell whether your partner and best friend are the same person? Well, the simplest way is to think about how you have behaved with friends in the past and see whether your current partner really fits into that mold. Below are five tell-tale signs that your partner and best friend are one and the same, and that your relationship is one a firm footing of both physical attraction, and friendship.
When you think back to your teen years and all the hours you spent on the phone with them, what were you doing? Yep, that's right, bitching. Complaining about this and that, hither and yon. In those days it would have been your parents, teachers, and the boy in the year above that you had a crush on. Now it might be your boss, your other friends, and probably still your parents. But if you are now complaining about those things to your partner, rather than to another girl on the end of a phone, you can be pretty sure that it is them that is your new best friend.Some partners are happy about this, some not. But if you find that they are listening, trying to give you advice, and allowing you the time to vent and let off steam after a hard day at work, then they really are trying to do their best in the best friend role.
You Are Most Comfortable With Them
Comfort is a very big deal in relationships, one that is not given the attention that it deserves. If we are truly never comfortable around our partner, then it can lead to frustration and arguments. However, if you get too comfortable, then sometimes the allure and shine of a relationship can wear a bit thin, and the attraction can be lost.But if you are comfortable around your partner then it is a good sign that the two of you can adopt a friend role, as well as one of lover. The trick is to know when you need just pure comfort, and when you are in a lover's role. A good friend knows that sometimes you need just comfort and nothing more, and sometimes you need more than that. You can tell that your partner is your best friend if they can segue between these two roles with ease.
You Are A Double Act
If you finish each other's jokes, have inside jokes, and are generally always laughing at each other, then that is a good sign that you two are friends. A big problem with many relationships is that the couple cannot laugh together, and see everything as serious. If you find that your partner doesn't find you funny, and that the two of you do not really have any shared experiences that you laugh at, then this might become a problem later in your relationship.
You Feel Each Other's Pain
Bet friends feel for each other as if an invisible bond ties the two together, and a relationship should be no different. If your partner is upset then you should also be upset, this is a prerequisite for almost any workable relationship. But it is worrying the number of relationships where one, normally the man, doesn't quite feel so much for the women. Though these relationships can survive, it should be a signal to you if your partner doesn't quite seem to care as much as your best friend does.
Their Success Is Your Success
Conversely, best friends revel in their friends successes as well, and this is a great sign of a good relationship if your partner is also completely stoked for your success. It shows a lack of competition in the relationship, and that you view the partnership as just that, a partnership rather than two competing adults. If your partner talks about how awesome you are to his or her friends as if he had just got promoted/ran a 10K/got a new job, then you know you are best friends as well as lovers.
