Preserving LGBT Stories
Thursday, June 05, 2014
Dave Isay, founder of StoryCorps and author of Ties That Bind: Stories of Love and Gratitude from the First Ten Years of StoryCorps (Penguin Press, 2013), is set to launch OutLoud, a project to capture the stories of the LGBT community, from before Stonewall to today.
→ EVENTS: Dave will be talking with Scott Simon this Sunday, June 8 at BAM, as part of Radio Love Fest | The OutLoud launch event is on the evening of June 17 at (Le) Poisson Rouge
OutLoud Clips Played on Today's Show
Guests:Dave Isay
Comments [7]
@john from office,
your comment is a perfect illustration of how important these stories are; they're an important form of education for folks like you, folks who not know that tr*nny is an offensive transgender slur, and that gender/sexuality are identities, not mere "lifestyles." Brian and Dave, thank you for bringing these stories to the public!
We seem to have taken the wrong message from the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. The response to this illness shouldn't have been 'The gay community is under attack and has to stick together and press for our rights', it should have been simply 'This behavior can give us this deadly disease, we should consider stepping away from it'.
To those threatened by these LGBTQ topics...
It's the media's job to expose the stories affecting the 1% - 2% of the population. WNYC airs stories affecting 99%-100% of the population daily.
It's a very big city and even 2% of the population amounts to thousands uponthousands of people. Besides, NYC has a higher % of LGBTQ folk.
Most importantly: June is Pride Month =)
@John from office & Steve from NYC:
I'm "straight but not narrow" myself. No problem.
Voted proudly for George McGovern. But, yes, 2%
of the populace shouldn't dominate the economy,
nor another 2% the dialog, which it very often
does here, more or less a daily theme, while
other topics go begging.
I mean, Jesus wept, tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
StoryCorps does not offer downloadable podcasts, thus deliberately crippling its usefulness to listeners.
@john from office: Because the way Brian operates is he takes an issue that affects 2% of people, and makes it sound like the whole world is suffering. The 1% are evil, the 2% are great. It's a fringe business, and he is a hype machine
I have no problem with Gays, or the rest of the alphabet soup of the sexual identity movement, LGBT, tranny, top - bottom or whatever, but why is there a daily story on this lifestyle?? This is a big city Brian, plenty of other groups to fixate on.

Pat Buchanan Once Again Hails Vladimir Putin, Regrets Conchita Wurst Victory
Vladimir Putin's number one cheerleader Pat Buchanan is out with a new column juxtaposing the Russian president's right-wing push with the victory of Conchita Wurst in the Eurovision Song Contest and praising Putin for rallying the "millions of traditionalists" who are rejecting European liberalism.
Even as more countries seek European Union membership and ex-Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych's decision to renege on closer ties with the EU sparked massive protests, Buchanan insists that the EU is in the midst of "disintegration and decay."
Out of its ashes comes Putin, Buchanan writes, who as "the anti-Obama" is "moving to occupy the cultural-moral vacuum left by America" with his rejection of "Hollywood values" like "multiculturalism, LGBT rights and abortion on demand."
That victory in the recent Eurovision contest of Conchita, the bearded transvestite drag queen who performed in a gown, though celebrated by much of the European press, sent a message to millions of traditionalists that this is no longer their culture.
Another aspect of the rising populist right, as the New York Times notes, is a grudging admiration for Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Why? Putin not only publicly rejects the moral relativism of the West, under his guidance Russian social legislation is being consciously rooted in traditional Christian concepts of right and wrong.
Putin is the anti-Obama, moving to occupy the cultural-moral vacuum left by America. As we celebrate multiculturalism, LGBT rights and abortion on demand, Putin repudiates Hollywood values.

Where can I find business lists for sales leads?
by bythecshore, Window Shopper
- Created: June 18, 2010, 11:55 am
I'm looking for an online source of business lists across the U.S. Does anyone know if there are some types of government records - lists - of businesses available at low or preferably no cost?
‹ Sugar ICUMSA 45 Deal STORY.. is this Normal ? what documents needed for feedstuff imported to USA ›
RMiller | Creator | 7/9/2010 - 6:47 pm
The business lists that I have had to pay for have not turned out like I was told they would. These businesses sell their lists to hundreds of people in the same business. So when you contact a person you are just one in many that are contacting them. Take the time and start making your own list. You will be surprised at how fast it will grow.
gigadan | Performer | 7/15/2010 - 12:18 pm
My web-design company relies heavily on such lists - we focus on servicing small start-up companies. Our experience is that the 'commercial' list companies have leads that are old, stale, over used and over priced. We have found that most states will provide through the state dep. of commerce some type of mailing list at very reasonable prices. We will regularly use these lists and send direct mail to new companies and because we are getting them directly from the source they are very fresh and out solicitation/contact is often the first they have recieved. ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

Several people have stated that Info USA is a long established business that seems to have a good reputation. I would try them. Also the local library would have books of lists that might be very helpful for you. You would have to take some time to do this research on your own though.
ellipsisdive | Window Shopper | 7/27/2010 - 6:18 pm
You will have to try out searching for business incorporations for every state... It's not 'easy' but it is definitely do-able... one problem with salesgenie that I have heard is 'stale leads'... you might want to check out ellipsis dive ... it's a new product in the field of lead generation and provides a totally radical solution... it won't give you 'business contacts in US' per say... but if you refine your search to what you are looking for... say 'mortgage florida' or something like that.. you will get quite better results... Hope this helps... good luck!
sonicprint | Performer | 7/27/2010 - 11:00 pm
Who are you looking to market to? The B2B market? A lot of people recommended Infousa, and although they are extremely large and spend alot of time verifying their lists, there are better, less inexpensive sources out there. Most data brokers sell from the same sources -- usually Dun and Bradstreet. Infousa compiles their own data out of the Yellow Page phone books. They actually scan them, call and verify the leads. If you are looking for low cost, you could just use the phone book or online directories. However, It's up to you determine how much your time is worth though -- It would be rather time consuming and you would have a difficult time getting results. Speaking of which? What are you trying to accomplish with the list? What are you selling? postcard printing ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

NicoleD | Former Moderator | 6/18/2010 - 5:11 pm
I am not aware of any such list that is provided by the government. You may have better luck searching private businesses. On a related note, you may be interested in this article: The Legal Steps to Buying a Business
seofactor | Performer | 6/22/2010 - 1:00 pm
I don't know about the governemtn providing such a list, but I know of 2. Sales Genie - I have absolutely no experience with them. I just remembered their commercials on the radio.(salesgenie.com) Then there's Info USA. I have some experience with them, but not on a leads level. From what we know, they are a pretty stand-up group. We mostly work with them to help promote our clients. Recently, I began to also look into purchasing leads, and I can tell you that you can define the type of lead you want with great detail. This will help ensure you are selling to the right group of people and not spamming the world. Please don't spam the world. ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 6/22/2010 - 1:50 pm
InfoUSA has been around for a long time and they provide useful and current information but their fee is quite high. If you don't mind putting in some time, you might check your local library to see if they offer the ReferenceUSA database. You can in-put your criteria and create your own mailing list. I am able to access the database from my home computer by entering my library card number. You will need a library card if you don't want to go to the library to use the system.
rae1124 | Window Shopper | 7/6/2010 - 10:20 pm
There are several list companies out there that you can tap into. You really need to find one that is reputable and will give you a clean list. The company we use for sales lists is USdatacorporation.com. They've always come through for us no matter what type of list we've needed. --- This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

Carano back together with Cavill?
Gina Carano was spotted sharing dinner and a bottle of wine with ex-boyfriend Henry Cavill in Rome this week, leading the gossip sites to speculate that the MMA fighter turned action star and Superman are hooking up again.
HARDWOOD TO HOLLYWOODAnd all sports in between. Plenty of Tinseltown's biggest names once excelled in athletics.
For those of you who don't keep up with the gossip sites, Carano and Cavill dated for several months before splitting earlier this year. Cavill briefly dated actress Kaley Cuoco, who's now engaged to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting.
Coming off Cavill's success in the "Man of Steel", could he and Carano be Superman and Superwoman on the big screen?
Cavill is filming another reboot, "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", in Rome. Carano appeared in "Fast and Furious 6" this year and is attached to several other projects.

I'm Back and BETTER THAN EVER!
by Roxanne "Raji" Williams
I'm BACK and BETTER THAN EVER!!
Many of you know that I chose to leave Pittsburgh for a month to pursue my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification. While a month flies by in our normal lives…a month is a long time to be away from home, family and work! Well, it was definitely well worth the sacrifice we all made. Thank you to everyone for all of your patience and support with the process of my completion of training certification!
Some people are aware of the fact that there are many types and styles and schools of Yoga. I went to the Satchidananda Ashram in Yogaville, Buckingham, VA. Founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda. There I studied what is known as Integral Yoga®. Below is some information from the Yogaville website.
What is Integral Yoga?
by Sri Swami Satchidananda
"The goal of Integral Yoga, and the birthright of every individual, is to realize the spiritual unity behind all the diversities in the entire creation and to live harmoniously as members of one universal family. This goal is achieved by maintaining our natural condition of a body of optimum health and strength, senses under total control, a mind well-disciplined, clear and calm, an intellect as sharp as a razor, a will as strong and pliable as steel, a heart full of unconditional love and compassion, an ego as pure as a crystal, and a life filled with Supreme Peace and Joy."
– HH Sri Swami Satchidananda
The word "Yoga" means union or yoke in the ancient Sanskrit language. It is a perfect description of the science and philosophy of Integral Yoga. Integral Yoga® synthesizes the various branches of Yoga into a comprehensive life style system. The aim is to promote harmonious development of every aspect of the individual. The six branches of Integral Yoga® are each powerful tools to gain self-mastery. When combined to effect the whole being the results are at once subtle, profound and measurable. Some basic descriptions of each of the six branches are listed here:
Hatha Yoga
Focuses on the physical aspects through asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), mudras, kriyas, yogic diet, and deep relaxation.
Raja Yoga
Balance and control of the mind through ethical practices, concentration and meditation.
Bhakti Yoga
The path of devotion, by constant love, thought, and service of the Divine. Bhakti Yoga can be practiced by everyone. All that is needed is faith and constant remembrance of God.
Karma Yoga
The path of action and selfless service. Serving without attachment to the fruits (or results) of the action.
Jnana Yoga
The intellectual approach. Through the knowledge of what really exists, that is, what is not changeable, one who engages in the Path of Wisdom realizes Oneness with the entire Universe.
Japa Yoga
Japa means repetition of a mantram – a sound structure of one or more syllables which represents a particular aspect of the Divine Vibration.

The Yoga classes I will be teaching will be drawing largely from the description of Hatha Yoga listed above. We will be experiencing the sound vibrations of mantras, the asanas (physical practice) as moving meditation, guided deep relaxation, pranayama (breathing practices), brief seated meditation, and closing slokas (prayers) to complete the circle of energy and send it out into the universe. This is a truly beautiful practice suited for all ages, physical structures, fitness levels and belief systems. If time allows we will also talk a little about the nutrition and other branches of Yoga (for those who are interested). I am happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.
The over-arching theme at the Ashram was "Truth is One. Paths are many." We talked not only about the benefits of Yoga on a person's Mind, body and spirit, but we also talked about all the different faiths and how they are all related somehow. There was a heavy emphasis on accepting all belief systems, and acknowledging that we are all connected as beings on this earth. This really struck close to my heart as this has always been my personal belief since before I was old enough to "know any better", and after people tried to teach me otherwise.
I definitely plan to return to the Ashram to visit my new family and recharge my spiritual battery. It is such a beautiful place in every aspect. Physically the landscape is beautiful. Energetically the place is gorgeous! AND the vegetarian food is DELICIOUS!! I had no idea going in that I would find out that I not only enjoyed the vegetarian diet so much, but that I would end up feeling SO GOOD! I certainly didn't expect that I would want to maintain the diet! The structure of the intensive program is to allow you to LIVE YOGA, so that you can gain full understanding and appreciation for the knowledge and practices. I don't believe in the stuff because someone told me so. I believe because I have experienced it FIRST HAND. I would suggest this to anyone who has questions about anything. Take into consideration what people say, and watch what they do-- but the most important thing is to find out why they do it.
If I had not caught a cold while I was there, I would not have been able to see how quickly I got over it without any OTC drugs. For this reason I am convinced! That doesn't mean I don't eat any crap anymore…but I do notice what it does to my body when I do. I am aware, and therefore I can make better choices for myself, as well as knowing EXACTLY why my body feels the way it does. Why my stomach doesn't feel well after the pizza…or why I need a bathroom shortly after eating eggs…or why my body feels stiff after eating sugar…or why my mind won't settle after spicy food, or stimulating caffeine, etc…etc…etc… And that is just the food discussion! We didn't even mention the argument with the spouse, the difficult morning with the children, the anticipated presentation for work, etc… All of these things affect the clarity of mind and ease of body. All of this can be positively affected through the regular practice of Yoga.
Does this mean I am no longer an advocate of Pilates practice? Absolutely not! I am even MORE an advocate! I experimented with both practices while I was at the Ashram, and I even helped someone who was dealing with a back pain issue with Pilates. I am now even more a believer that the two are important in their own ways AND work very well TOGETHER. I have been trained classically in Pilates and now classically in Yoga ("classically" meaning the way it was designed by the originators), and am very proud of my training, my trainers and my practices.
I look forward to sharing all of what I have learned with you! Please come see me in class at Verve! If you have any questions, concerns, or if there is anything you are uncertain of or uncomfortable with, please feel free to see me before or after class. Otherwise, if there is anything you feel needs more discussion or personal time and attention, please feel free to email me at email@example.com.
Please know that there is nothing wrong with having questions or concerns, or not being completely in agreement. I saw that come up a lot during my training with people who were uncertain of some of the practices that were introduced to us. I loved the response that we got overall, "Take what you want, and leave the rest." Meaning, if (after trying something) you feel like something is absolutely not for you, that's ok. Allow yourself to be open to experiencing and you will find what, if anything, IS for you. Most of us had NO IDEA of how much perspective we would gain during that month of training! We had no clue that it would be part of our spiritual journey. Some people found their path, others were solidified on their previous paths, and still others found doors opening for them to look through to consider the path they didn't even know laid before them. Regardless of what we saw, we gained clarity, some new tricks, and some new friends/family. It was a beautiful experience. From that, I will leave you with this…Life is happening! Embrace it! Enjoy it! Learn to MOVE FREELY with it! Om Shanti. Namaste.

It depends. Sometimes they are so comfortable around you they feel like your one of the guys, but then you might wear something low cut or bend over to pick something up, and then they remember that you are most certainly a girl, and then they start thinking about what the sex would be like.
Plus, situations and hormones are also key.
I have know this one girl for years, and we never did anything even remotely sexual, and down the shore she pretty much got into bed with me and told me I could do anything I wanted to her.
I got so freaked (I am not attracted to her in any way, and she has been off again on again with one of my best friends who was in the family room right outside my bedroom RIGHT THEN). So I fell outta my bed, ran outta the room in my boxers (laughing histerically) and my buddies who were still awake got a kick out of it. Including my friend, who was over her at that point.
Needless to say, she was embarrassed and we don't speak much anymore. I like her as a friend, but I want nothing else from her.
She wanted something from me tho!

Researchers from Scotland to Sweden Arrive at NIMBioS to Study Bovine TB
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $31 million to depopulate herds of cattle affected by bovine tuberculosis (TB), even though the risk of the disease has been significantly reduced in the U.S. over the past several decades. Worldwide, especially in developing countries, the disease persists, which could threaten the U.S. cattle industry in terms of international trade.
The development of new tools to better understand bovine TB and to help disease eradication efforts by the USDA is the focus of a workshop to be held at NIMBioS, July 7-9, on the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, campus.
The workshop brings together experts from around the world to share ideas about how mathematical modeling approaches for cattle movements in the United States may influence disease transmission models as well as inform policies and programs for reducing the spread of bovine TB. Scientists attending the workshop include those with expertise in mathematical network and disease spread models, as well as scientists with expertise in cattle movements, livestock industry practices, and the bovine TB agent.
"NIMBioS is uniquely situated to foster such collaborations because one of its specific priorities is bringing together mathematics and biology researchers to address problems that are important to the animal industry," said Agricola Odoi, workshop co-organizer and an assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Medicine at the University of Tennessee School of Veterinary Medicine.
One of the primary goals of the workshop is the assist the USDA in identifying new and novel methods for evaluating control options for bovine TB.
"There is a lot we don't know or understand about cattle movement across the U.S.," said USDA veterinarian Katie Portacci. "I think the expertise that NIMBioS is bringing to the workshop will help us better understand bovine TB transmission dynamics through cattle movement."
In terms of controlling the spread of the disease, one of the goals of the USDA is to move away from the use of depopulation as a management tool, Portacci said. "I think the NIMBioS meeting will help us come up with alternative ways of dealing with the problem of bovine TB."
Bovine TB is a slow, progressive bacterial disease and is difficult to diagnose in the early stages. As the disease progresses, animals may exhibit emaciation, lethargy, weakness, anorexia, low-grade fever, and pneumonia with a chronic, moist cough. It usually is transmitted through contact with respiratory secretions from an infected animal.
Mostly found in cattle, bovine TB can also infect other domesticated and wild animals. The U.S. State and Federal Cooperative Bovine TB Eradication program, which began in 1917, has made significant progress in decreasing the prevalence of the disease in humans and cattle. However, small pockets of the M. bovis infection still exist in cattle and wildlife in the United States.
Modeling the Impact of Cattle Movements on Transmission Dynamics of Bovine Tuberculosis will be a NIMBioS Investigative Workshop. Colleen Webb, Associate Professor of Biology at Colorado State University, joins Odoi as co-organizer.
NIMBioS Investigative Workshops involve 30-40 participants, of which about half are invited. Individuals with a strong interest in the topic can also apply to attend.
The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) brings together researchers from around the world to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to investigate solutions to basic and applied problems in the life sciences. NIMBioS is funded by the National Science Foundation in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with additional support from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

This paper presents a complete design and development procedure of a new XY micromanipulator for two-dimensional (2-D) micromanipulation applications. The manipulator possesses both a nearly decoupled motion and a simple structure, which is featured with parallel-kinematic architecture, flexure hinge-based joints, and piezoelectric actuation. Based on pseudo-rigid-body (PRB) simplification approach, the mathematical models predicting kinematics, statics, and dynamics of the XY stage have been obtained, which are verified by the finite-element analysis (FEA) and then integrated into dimension optimization via the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. Moreover, a prototype of the micromanipulator is fabricated and calibrated using a microscope vision system, and visual servo control employing a modified PD controller is implemented for the accuracy improvement. The experiments discover that a workspace size of 260 mum times 260 mum with a 2-D positioning accuracy and repeatability around 0.73 and 1.02 mum, respectively, can be achieved by the micromanipulator.

Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
They are defenately dense and heavy, got 80 bricks yesterday and now I'm working on an entry form out of cardboard to see how it looks.
Will post some pics once I'm done ..
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
Ok, got some pics of the entry form. Its not 100% but its a pretty good idea of what the entry is going to look like.
I'm going to give it to a carpenter to imitate but ask him to get the dimensions as close as he can get it to my numbers. Although, after making this form I realized that I need to slightly increase the height of the sides of the outer arch (lowest point)..
Still need to add the form for the vent which goes on top of this..
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
Finally got the Polypropylene Fiber, it wasn't easy to find as its not widely used here..
The recommended dosage is only 0.6Kg / cubic meter, so really not going to need much as per my estimation I am going to use roughly 0.125 - 0.135 cubic meters of refractory concrete so the total amount required is not more than 100 grams?? could this be right??
Mind you, although 100 grams doesn't sound like much but the stuff is pretty light anyway. It really has a texture of hair.. Got a shot of it below with its data sheet..
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
Did the adjustments to the entry form. I have slightly increased the height of the sides of the outer arch (lowest point) to make it more funnel shaped from the top of the sides. Still didn't add the bit for the chimney as I have been really busy, but it should be completed tomorrow..
I'm also planning on laying the bricks for the cooking floor tomorrow, and going to cut them to the right shape. I rented an electric saw and have never used one so hopefully I don't make a mess of things and don't off cut any fingers..
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
The addition also sounds about right although you are adding it, not for strength, but for a path for water elimination.
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
Thanks for the advice Dave..
Got down and dirty today, and layed the bricks for the cooking floor. Not very happy with the shape of the entry, so going to redo that as well as some bricks that need smoothing out..
I placed the form for the entry in its place just to see how it looks. I think its going to look good
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
I think it is going to look excellent!
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
Haven't been posting much about my build but here's what been happening..
Made a few concrete samples with the fondu cement. The first sample I made, and as per Fondu's specs on the bag was using 1 part cement, 1.6 parts sand (I used crushed fire brick instead), and I added a sprinkle polypropylene fiber. As their instructions I was supposed to add only 0.4 parts of water, This proved to be extremely dry and unworkable. I know its not easy to work with but this was way beyond that. I kept adding water bit by bit till I reached a reasonable and plasticky feel to it, and that was when I reached almost 1.2 parts of water. That's more than double!
Fondu reiterate not to exceed their 1 part cement to =< 0.4 parts water or that will significantly decrease the strength of the concrete. That got me worried..
Anyway, I kept the cement block (shape of a firebrick) that I made damp for 3 days then I decided to test it. The only way I could think of to test the strength was to hold it from one end and smack the other end on a hard surface. It took me 2-3 hits before it broke.. It wasn't that difficult.. So I thought that this is not the kind of strength I expect for my oven.
On a good note I found that the Polypropylene fiber was evenly distributed. I placed one broken half in my oven, and gradually increased the temperature. Once I reached the 160 to 180 C all the visible fibers had burnt off. Then I maxed the oven to 250 C, for about 1.5 hours and left it to cool till the next morning.
Again I smacked it on a hard surface, but to my surprise the fibers inside had not burnt off! even though when the block was in the oven I measured its temperature with a laser thermometer, and it was over 230 C...
I can only assume that the surface on the outside was hotter than the inside, and should have probably left it for a longer time..
Anyway going back to the strength of my concrete, and the only conclusion I came up to is that I need a course aggregate and not just fine crushed firebrick as I had used in my first sample. The only problem is that I could not fined the right course aggregate anywhere. I went to a granite / Stone / Basalt cutting and carving shop, and asked if they had any gravel like left overs, and they only had semi fine Basalt aggregates much smaller than what I had in mind.
I kept on looking, and found that we actually have a large Basalt mine in Jordan. So I called up their offices not far from where I live and asked if they can supply me with some. They said they only deal with huge orders since they are a mine company, but if I go all they way to the mine they will make sure somebody will help me out. I figured what the hell why not! I took a colleague from work with me in a small van. Surely, after two hours of driving, we saw the mountains of the crushed Basalt that I was looking for. I got around 500 Kg for about 7 USD of course I'm not going to need all of it, but could use the rest as a mulch in the garden or something else..
Last night, I made a second sample (tile shaped) and as per Fondu's specs when using gravel:
1 part cement, 1 part crushed firebrick, 1.6 parts Basalt gravel, the fibers, and tried to only add 0.4 parts water.
Again the water was insufficient, so kept adding till I reached 1.2 parts of water to get it where I want it to be.
Today, the tile sample felt very hard, and I actually cut it in half with a saw and noticed the evenly distributed aggregates. I'm still keeping it damp as it has not finished curing, and once that's done I will check its strength..
Does anyone know why I have to use so much water to get the concrete to become workable?? Is it because I'm using crushed fire brick?
Will the increased water affect the strength of the concrete??
Anyway will post some pics tomorrow..
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
If using crushed firebrick you will need more water because the crushed brick is quite porous. you don't say whether the bricks were insulating bricks or dense firebricks. The insulating bricks are easy to crush and quite light. I would't worry too much about the increased water content, just get the mix to a plastic state that you can handle. I recently made up a home brew using crushed insulating firebrick and proprietary castable refractory 50/50 to make a lightweight castable for a kiln. By reducing the density this way it also reduces the strength, but I've ended up with a good result. Yet to fire to prove its performance.
Re: Cast Refractory Pizza Oven Build
All the "parts" are by weight according to their spec sheets. So if you are measuring by volume, you'll need a little extra water just to allow for that. Then clay seems to soak up a lot of water that then isn't available for the chemical reaction.
Daves right, add just enough to make it workable.

Excel 2007 Tip #2: Formatting is now done via the right mouse menu
One really disconcerting change to Excel 2007 is the disappearance of the toolbars. Features you use all the time seem to have disappeared back to into the menus.People with prior versions of Excel usually have two toolbars permanently on display – Standard and Formatting. The Formatting toolbar contains the icons for adjusting fonts, centring, bold, italic decimals, colors and so on.In Excel 2007, formatting is no longer done via toolbars, but via the right mouse menu.To illustrate, open up a worksheet, then right click on it. The right mouse menu appears.

SumIf's little known function
SumIf is a great function that a lot of Excel users don't know up about. Basically it combines two very popular functions - the Sum function and the IF Function. SumIf tests specified cells and if those cells meet certain conditions or "criteria" then selected cells are summed up. Think of the possibilities: You may wish to sum up receipts by different lockboxes or sum up the value of past-due invoices. Or you may just want to add up negative numbers in a column quickly or add up the returns or overtime for a particular day. I am using a very simple example to illustrate SumIf.

Microsoft Office converter to disinfect virus files
Microsoft programmers are working on a file conversion program that will disable infected Office 2003 files by converting them into the new, XML-based Office 2007 formats, AccountingWEB's John Stokdyk reports.Called the Microsoft Office Isolated Conversion Environment (MOICE), the converter will be available in a few weeks time and was previewed by Microsoft security technologist David LeBlanc.Malformed Office document files are becoming an increasingly popular means for gaining control of remote PCs - for example to build so-called spam "botnets".

Microsoft Access: Best Spreadsheet Add-In
By Simon HurstOf the main office applications used in professional firms, word processors are the least well used, spreadsheets the most overused, and databases the most underused. Part of the reason for this is that database applications are often seen as being the preserve of experienced developers, who use them to create comprehensive database applications.

IT Zone Guide to Budgeting Systems
By John StokdykFive years ago, I wrote, "In recent years, budgeting has been getting a bad press." Not much has changed on that front. Budgeting remains an entrenched habit - and some would argue a weak spot - in financial management. Even when companies do embrace the concept of business performance management, suppliers report that the most common inquiry they get is for tools to help customers automate and manage their budgeting processes.

Technology Trends to Watch in 2007
By John Stokdyk and Gail Perry A new Vista for WindowsIt's been almost four years since we last saw a major Windows upgrade from Microsoft (if you discount the XP Service Pack 2 release). However, this year will see the arrival of Windows Vista - "the most significant product release in Microsoft history" - accompanied by the new Microsoft Office 2007. The most visible differences will be glitzy new interface designs for both products, which incidentally are likely to place extra demands on users' PCs.

Embedding Data from an Excel Spreadsheet in a Power Point Presentation
Embedding data from an Excel spreadsheet into a Power Point presentation is especially useful if the basic presentation is used repeatedly and frequently. When data is embedded in a presentation or document it allows the data in the presentation to be updated automatically when the data is updated in the source spreadsheet. Presuming both the source spreadsheet and the destination presentation already exist and are open in separate windows, follow these steps to embed the data: Select the range of cells you want to copy in the Excel spreadsheet.

Avoiding Spreadsheet Slip-Ups
Spreadsheets help individuals and business organizations record financial data efficiently. Excel is probably the most common spreadsheet application used by businesses today. Users program formulas and macros to automate calculation of financial data as well. The seemingly simple financial logic inside spreadsheets can also cause embarrassing errors.

You obviously don't know
You obviously don't know anything about atheism.
First, there I no one thing any atheist believes. Second, every single person I know who rejects the idea of a benevolent God who is active in our lives and cares for us rejects the idea that they are their own god.
Too bad, I actually thought many of your arguments on this thread were very sensible until you started speculating about what I do and do not know.
Atheists are not a group at all, try as you might. Just because it is popular to believe in fairies does not make atheists a group because of something they DON'T believe.
And I'm not so sure that I'm an atheist, though you would doubtless consider me so.

Toxication may involve:
While toxication is generally undesirable, in certain cases it is required for the in vivo conversion of a prodrug or chemical to a metabolite with desired pharmacological or toxicological activity. Codeine is an example of a prodrug, which is metabolized in the body to the opioid known as morphine.
The breakdown of methanol in the mammalian liver. Methanol in itself is toxic due to its CNS depressant properties, but acquires more dangerous toxicity through its metabolites formic acid and formaldehyde, which can cause severe acidosis, damage to the optic nerve, and other life-threatening complications.
The metabolism of paracetamol (acetaminophen) to the hepatotoxic metabolite NAPQI via the cytochrome P450 oxidase system.
Metabolic Activation of N-Hydroxy-2-aminofluorene and N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene by Monomorphic N-Acetyltransferase (NAT1) and Polymorphic N-Acetyltransferase (NAT2)
Role of cytochrome P4501B1 in benzo[a]pyrene bio-activation to DNA-binding metabolites Evidence from 32p-postlabeling for formation of 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene-3,6-quinone as major proximate genotoxic intermediates

Advice & Support
Weight-bearing exercises, started in your youth and
continued throughout your life, can help prevent
osteoporosis. These exercises, such as walking,
jogging, climbing, dancing, or lifting weights, help you build strong bones as
a young person, and then help you maintain your bone thickness (density) as an
adult. But if you stop exercising, your bones will begin to thin. Starting
these exercises at any age will help prevent bone loss. It is best to do
weight-bearing exercise for at least 2½ hours a week. One way to do this is to
be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. In addition to
weight-bearing exercise, experts recommend that you do resistance exercises at
least 2 days a week.
Exercises that are not weight-bearing, such as swimming, are good for
your general health. But they do not work your muscles and bones against
gravity and so they do not stimulate new bone growth.

Hackers use local resident's personal email to ask for money.
You're sitting at your desk checking email, when you come across a message from a friend. That friend informs you that they are in London, and desperately need $2,000 wired to them. Sure you're first thought is "scam," but this isn't some Nigerian prince. It comes from your friend's email address and it has their name.
Unfortunately, even despite the best makeup, this is still a scam. And now that scam is circulating in Santa Clarita.
A well known local business owner was first alerted to the fact that scammers were using his email address when he began receiving calls Monday morning.
Somehow, scammers were able to retrieve his email login information and they used his email address to send the following message to everyone in his address book.
How are you doing? Please I need your help I made an Emergency trip to England and am having financial problem. Please can you assist me with Two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) to enable me conclude what I am doing here. I will refund you back as soon as I return home. Send it via western union money transfer or Money Gram with this information.
The email then listed the sender's name and an address in London.
While most scams use big promises to bait their victims, this one actually exploits personal relationships to dupe people in sending money.
How to avoid becoming a victim
Something's just not right
- In this case, one recipient of the fraudulent email immediately recognized that the email has the generic opening; "how are you doing?" A personal email would usually include a more personal greeting, often addressing the recipient by name.
- The English, while spelled correctly, is rough. Accidentally omitting a comma or two in a casual email is to be expected, however from beginning to end this email reads as if the author does not have a command of the English language.
- Would this particular friend actually be asking you for $2,000 with little or no explanation? Usually, if an individual is in need of financial help they will contact family members or those closest to them.
Always confirm:
- If you're prepared to mail $2,000 to a friend in need without any explanation, you should know enough about them to confirm that they are really in dire straits. Simply call them. If they pick up the phone, they will be able to confirm or deny the email right away.
Don't forget the basics
- General fraud prevention tips will help keep you safe in almost every situation. Don't provide personal information online unless you know and trust the recipient. And never send private information via email to a company that already has it. For example, if you get an email from your credit card company saying that they need your social security number, never respond. Simply call the telephone number on the back of your credit card and confirm the need for new information with the company.
