Cut a long drunken story short , I have an Asus Laptop - Win 7 x64, that's minus both hinges lol. I'm thinking about completely disconnecting the screen and connecting it to a LCD T.V via HDMI in one of my bedrooms as a media centre type thing.Sitting discretely on top of a Blu-ray player and under my TV.
I'm looking for some advice on a "Ultra slim" , splash proof keyboard on a wireless USB connection. Full size would be nice but the main thing is, it has to be stylish and not overly expensive (Willing to pay up to GBP£100.00 ,maybe a tad more, under that would be ideal).
Any ideas please ?
Oh, I'm based in the U.K.

Essays of Elia by charles lamb Perfection is the objective in the good essay.
To paraphrase charles lamb, you have to work at it like some men toil after virtue.
Old English lamb "lamb," from Proto-Germanic *lambaz (cf. Old Norse, Old Frisian, Gothic lamb, Middle Dutch, Dutch lam, Middle High German lamp, German Lamm "lamb"). Common to the Germanic languages, but with no certain cognates outside them. Old English plural was lomberu. Applied to persons (especially young Church members, gentle souls, etc.) from late Old English. Also sometimes used ironically for cruel or rough characters (e.g. Kirke's Lambs in wars of 1684-86). Lamb's-wool (adj.) is from 1550s.
A dear, sweet person: Mary is such a lamb (1923+)
(1.) Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Ex. 29:38-42), on the Sabbath day (Num. 28:9), at the feast of the New Moon (28:11), of Trumpets (29:2), of Tabernacles (13-40), of Pentecost (Lev. 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Ex. 12:5), and on many other occasions (1 Chr. 29:21; 2 Chr. 29:21; Lev. 9:3; 14:10-25). (2.) Heb. taleh, a young sucking lamb (1 Sam. 7:9; Isa. 65:25). In the symbolical language of Scripture the lamb is the type of meekness and innocence (Isa. 11:6; 65:25; Luke 10:3; John 21:15). The lamb was a symbol of Christ (Gen. 4:4; Ex. 12:3; 29:38; Isa. 16:1; 53:7; John 1:36; Rev. 13:8). Christ is called the Lamb of God (John 1:29, 36), as the great sacrifice of which the former sacrifices were only types (Num. 6:12; Lev. 14:12-17; Isa. 53:7; 1 Cor. 5:7).


text: I'm loving him in the tag team with Bryan. It's inevitable that they will eventually split. Perhaps it could all start with Bryan being jealous of Kane leading to them defending titles in a multi-team ladder match at TLC and losing. They decide to remain a team, but one eliminates the other in the rumble which causes further dissent. Maybe they're both challengers for world title inside elimination chamber and one again eliminates the other, or once again lose in perhaps a tag team elimination chamber. The past is brought up with AJ etc. then they have a match at mania

Scheisch you guys. 558 comments? Good thing I have nothing else to do this weekend. (yeah right) I showed my husband all the comments, and I think for second he thought I was really cool. And by the way…….you didn't really have to tell me your deep dark secrets. I was totally kidding, but I got a really good laugh out of some of you (nice to meet you all by the way), and I feel much better about myself too.
This week was stressful. After a few pitty party days I indulged in some cheap therapy…sewing. I decided to make a project I could complete in one day, which would have been a good idea except I started five projects instead. Small projects, but still projects.
And since I really don't need three more table runners and pot holders, these are in my neglected shop.
See you Monday with giveaway results!

There are two main ways we interface with our Chevys: one is through the throttle and the other is the steering wheel. Tons of thought and effort are put into the throttle side of the equation. After all, going fast is fun. But if no attention is paid to the steering side then the results could be a fast car that feels sloppy and is slow to respond to driver input. That can feel (or actually be) dangerous as you're zipping down the highway. Imagine a new ZR1 Vette with cruddy, unresponsive, steering-what fun would that be?
Today, one popular option is to replace the traditional steering box with a rack-and-pinion system. The problem with that is the conversion can be a lot of work and tends to be on the pricey side. Switching to a rack-and-pinion on a stock subframe, can also cause fitment issues and undesirable changes to the car's suspension geometry if done incorrectly. Fortunately, companies like CPP offer replacement gearboxes that can give your vintage Chevy the feel of a new car. Best of all, the swap is easy and you won't have to hock family heirlooms to afford it.
From about 1950 until the mid-'80s the recirculating ball steering box was the standard in American steering technology. In fact, it's still used in some heavy-duty applications. Gearboxes are set up with ratios that effect how many times you have to turn the steering wheel to get the front wheels to pivot a given number of degrees. In a wide-ratio box, you have to turn the steering wheel many times to get the front wheels to rotate to full lock. In some cases, this could be 4.5 revolutions to turn the wheel from lock to lock. With a close ratio steering box with a ratio of 12.7:1, it will only take about three revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock-to-lock.
So what difference does 1.5 revolutions make? The answer is a lot. You may not notice it that much when driving down to the grocery store, but if you ever find yourself on a long and twisty road the wide ratio box will make you work much harder than the close ratio box. More work will make you tired sooner and affect your performance, as well as taking some fun out of the experience. The close-ratio box will also make your car feel more responsive.
In addition to the steering ratio, gearboxes can also be adjusted for the amount of effort, also known as resistance, you feel when trying to turn the steering wheel. In a car set up with low resistance you'll have very little feedback from your car and it will have a feeling like it is floating around on the road. You need to find a happy medium between low effort when you are moving slowly or sitting still and a higher effort set-up that would be good at speed. After all, you don't want to sneeze at 60 mph and end up changing lanes.
There are a few disadvantages to traditional gearboxes. First, since the box consists of many moving parts, there is quite a bit of friction and many wear points. This is one reason why the steering feels so sloppy on an old car. The internals of the box are just worn out. Compared to a rack-and-pinion system, a traditional steering box has more wear points. It's also heavier. But despite these drawbacks, it's a very good system that, with the right parts, can perform as well as, if not better, than a rack-and-pinion system.
There are several advantages to recirculating ball systems. First, by varying pitman arm length you can easily offer more steering travel than a rack-and-pinion system. Second, it's a relatively cheap upgrade, certainly less expensive than converting to rack and pinion. For those on a budget, you can get great performance without going broke. This time-tested steering system is very rugged and is still preferred by many racing organizations. Third, this is a very easy to install upgrade to your car and is generally a bolt in deal that will retain your ride's factory look.

Deep fried gadgets

In a project whose title speaks for itself, Brooklyn-based photographer Henry Hargreaves in collaboration with food stylist Caitlin Levin literally deep-fried a series of electronics equipment but don´t you worry, no technologies were harmed in the shooting of this project. Although the gadgets look real, they're actually recreations made with a material called foamcore, which were then dipped in batter and dunked in oil.

CLINTON – For a team to win a championship, there is usually an unbelievable effort by one player.
Tiffany Huddleston was that player in Starkville Academy's 50-39 victory over Madison-Ridgeland Academy in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools Overall Championship.
She scored 12 points, with eight of those coming on consecutive trips down the court late in the fourth quarter when the Lady Vols needed it the most.
"She has been a factor off the bench all year," SA head coach Glenn Schmidt said. "All year long, it has been somebody off the bench. This week it was Tiff and Julianne. Tiffany's eight-straight points was a huge boost for us."
Senior Anna Prestridge was not surprised by Huddleston's performance.
"She is so quick," Prestridge said. "She can steal the ball and lay it up without even thinking about it. She had those opportunities during the game. She got those steals and layups and it helped us out tremendously."
Huddleston scored four points off of two steals. She converted those into easy layups.
"She really helped us out," Junior Anna Lea Little said. "They couldn't stop her on those layups and she made some really good shots."
Huddleston's play in the fourth quarter seemed to spark the rest of her teammates and secured a win for the Lady Vols.
"She stepped up and played real good for us," sophomore Sallie Kate Richardson said. "She got a couple of steals and that helped us push a little harder. That's what got us going."
Huddleston scored 14 points in their first round game against Bowling Green, La. She also sparked the win in the Class AAA, Division II championship against East Rankin.
She was selected to the All-Tournament team and it was well deserved.
"It's really exciting," Huddleston said. "It's a big honor."
Huddleston may have sparked the run, but she is glad her team won and their hard work payed off.
"Unbelievable," Huddleston said of winning three state championships. "It feels like everything is starting to pay off."

text: Any of you happen to check out the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Nickelodeon? I was sort of blown away by how much I liked it. It does a really wonderful job of blending the spirit of the 80s cartoon and the 1990 film while still presenting something fresh, and you can tell that the people behind the show really care for and respect the franchise. I'm not particularly big on cartoons or animated programs anymore, but I'm definitely going to be following this one; lots and lots of potential.

The places I used the cards didn't have anything I wanted to buy for myself (I did look!), but they did have things I would have bought for the girls anyway. From my point of view I did use the cards for myself, because they saved me the money for things I would have gotten anyway. What do you think?

What is the bond that holds a community together? If woven properly, how can this common bond positively change the world?
How do we use this bond to strengthen our relationships and grow together as a species?

Jul 10 2013: How do we determine what a person should or should not be responsible for? Is it merely what is dictated in law?

Jul 11 2013: I believe that you can have a high level of individual freedom and still withstand a great sense of security within a community/country. - Case in point - USA. I believe that it is the individual freedoms which make the country be more secure because if you give people the option to be violent, educated, peaceful, etc (with consequences for negative action) that the vast majority of citizens will choose to be peaceful and cooperative.

Jul 11 2013: I'm probably one of the only supporters of the Patriot Act after all that has happened in the media as of late. But to the point of civil liberties and freedom, my favorite one that our country protects is freedom of speech which is how you and I are able to have this dialogue now. :)Jul 28 2013: Do you really feel that the Patriot Act is compatible with freedom of speech in light of (1) the well-publicized government tracking of reporters' phone calls and (2) "Secret demands mark escalation in Internet surveillance by the federal government through gaining access to user passwords, which are typically stored in encrypted form"?

Democracy, ethics, empathy with others would all increase in strength where close interaction with others is very likely, and where it matters a great deal how my actions affect others - and vice versa.

Jul 12 2013: Well wars can be averted, but on a community scale disputes can be averted as we learn to compromise. But at every source of a community is family. Family is the first step towards a community, each family has different views and values but when we are woven together by love, respect and compassion towards on and another, we can create a better community to influence other families part of an even bigger community. Now that's just the spark for a better world... We just to ignite

Jul 30 2013: The golden rule is too low a bar for my liking... Simply doing no harm stills allows many "sins" of omission and negligence that allow the bonds of trust to be weakened. A moral test that is more robust and directly beneficial to the bonds of community is "does this build or erode trust". Trust is the real currency of healthy communities, families and couples.

Aug 2 2013: to be trusted by a fellow person without doubt is the greatest thing that one can aim to achieve. Being honest generates that trust. if a person's value be decided based on the good deeds rather than wealth, everyone will follow the path of doing good. think once when you perform an act. how is this going to affect someone or anyone. put yourself in that person's place and then think if the act is the right thing to do or not. being on the other side will help to make sound decisions, which generates trust and respect. which aimed for by everyone, will become a strong community.
Aug 5 2013: Right on. "To thine own self be true," Shakespeare said. And in order to be true to yourself, you got to be honest with yourself.Aug 5 2013: I think 'trust' might be better than any of the answers I gave. It makes such good sense. But what if I trust someone in the sense that I think they mean well, that they mean the very best, but at the same time I don't trust them in the sense that despite their best intentions and efforts they simply can't be relied upon to do the job?
Let me give an example for you to answer, if you want, instead. Take a community as small as a basketball team. The game is in the final seconds and there is time for one more shot. As the coach, I know I can trust that any of my players would give that last shot their best shot (no pun intended), but can I really trust that all of them will actually make that shot, or is it more likely that I can only really trust that one? Honesty, as Jealani put it, seems to lay behind the trust or 'generates that trust.'
That might seem like an outlandish example, but it is easy for me to see how a group of people build up trust in another. However, it is also easy to see how I can put too much trust in a person. What I need is to be honest with myself and with the other person about what they are really capable of. It seems less important that I want to trust a person, than it is whether or not I honestly can or should trust in that person.
Aug 7 2013: Daniel
Thank you for your commentary. What I am proposing is to use trust as a self imposed standard by which to measure your own choices and actions. I am not proposing to dwell on the conditions of trust that I would invest in others actions or choices. I do not disagree that this is sometimes needed and beneficial, however the overarching dialogue in this conversation has to do with building the bonds of community.
I submit to you another idea: that it is possible to express a lack of trust in another persons capabilities (such as the scenario that you describe), yet do it in a caring and honest manner that actually builds trust between you and that person in the long term. Conversely, it is possible to sugarcoat your communications with them, so that they do not get a clear understanding of your judgement until they infer it from your actions or from the comments of other people. In my opinion this strategy almost always erodes long term trust.
Aug 8 2013: The other idea you submitted made me think, Bernie, about the necessity of white lies and possibility of gentle (as opposed to brutal) honesty when being truthful while expressing doubt.
I agree with you that the sugarcoating of communications erodes long term trust. I think it is more difficult, for me at least, to express a lack of trust in other people in a caring and honest manner. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm not even thinking you're wrong. The sense of alienation from society (i.e. community) that I experience comes from the inability to be honest with one another, to have real conversations about real things, because it seems to me that everything must have a thick crust of sugarcoating.
But despite my best efforts to express a lack of trust in caring and honest manners, I must be terrible at doing so, because people most often taken offense or get defensive or generally turned the encounter into a situation. So its better to keep my mouth shut most of the time. I'm sick of the sugarcoating and I'm not getting through (yet) with the 'lovingkindness' sort of anti-trust. That's why I've honed in on the honesty that Jealani spoke about.
I really appreciate your response, though. I've had to sit here an unusually long time composing my response and searching for a way to explain myself, which only came after a quarter of an hour contemplating the second paragraph of your comment.Jul 27 2013: The answer to this question can compose many thick books. But I shall try to simplify it by focusing on the most basics.
Any community is composed of individuals. So it would be reasonable to say that the secret of the bond that holds any community together would lie in the quality of the bonds between the individuals which compose such a community. IMO, the basic condition for any healthy bond between 2 individuals is first of all from the moral aspect. I had written just recently what I think is the most basics of any moral code and it's found here:
On top of the basic moral code, there are also other factors which are also important for holding a community together, like Love, common community values, common vision....etc. But without preserving the basic moral code, all the attempts to keep the other factors become artificial and those factors gradually turn to be very shaky, in the sense that they lose their power as adhesives to hold the community together.
Aug 5 2013: I like where you are going with this. Can it go deeper than the relationship between one person and the another? Does the community not begin with the relationship that a person has with their own self?
Aug 6 2013: That's true I guess. Actually everything I guess is related to the self. If all would see this, there will be less conflicts in the world as people would less blame others for their own troubles and start searching answers within themselves. Also, if one creates moral relationship with the other, it means he/she has reached some inner understanding.
If you like this way of thinking, I have related completely another question in other TED discussion to our inner character. You can find it here: http://www.ted.com/conversations/14635/the_power_of_a_brand_to_turn_u.html?c=556835
Mandy Fisher
Jul 25 2013: The bond that holds a community? You could say it is different for each group, but on a closer examination, it is my belief that the bond is simply love. Love of friendship, of romantic relationships, of fun and companionship. The bond that holds a community together is the strings of social longing coursing through our blood; our need for comradiity and understanding, of laughter and play, and above all, a desire to be together as humans. And yet, we ignore it. We largely ignore that calling to unite, and instead play the game of life behind closed doors, on little islands, in our own little worlds. We rarely know our neighbors. A knock on the door is unexpected and sadly, often suspisious. We avoid direct eye contact and often choose silence over conversation.

What happened? How did we arise from highly social groups to this independent, isoloated society of illusion-chasers? They won in the game of capitalism. We are indeed a money-driven, product-buying, status-climbing tribe, but what we lost was so much more. We lost our humanity.
How do we rediscover our roots? It is so simple, yet so difficult for reasons I don't understand. We live it! We can embrace the coming age, with all it's techonolgy and gadgets, yet still remember to be human beings. Invite your neighbor for a backyard barbecue. Hold a community kickball game. Volunteer at the soup kitchen. Have a block party. Hold a weekly game night at your home. So simple!
Let's talk to each other agian. Let's eat with each other, and tell each other stories. Let's get to know who you are, and in return, we will discover who we are.
Let's get together, and change the world.
Daniel Early
Aug 5 2013: I don't know, Mandy. It seems like whatever it is that bonds a community together has to allow for it to expand and contract and allow for the expression of human passions rather than the repression or denial of them. I don't think it is realistic let alone necessary to say that love between one and all in whatever form is most appropriate to whatever relationship is the common bond. Maybe something like respect? Have we evolved enough to be capable of loving one another on a planet of more than seven billion people? I sympathize with your feeling that we have lost our humanity, but that very loss seems to be the result of our minds evolving far faster than our hearts. That would then suggest the common bond come from something more mental. An intellectual recognition of the equality of all people, an ideology of mutual respect...I know I'm using cold, stuffy ways of putting it, but something like that seems like it would work better. To me. I still try and go at life and the world and myself and everyone else with a lot of love every, or at least a little more each, day.

Jul 25 2013: I would say that 'the vision' is the bond. The community is held by common vision. We define who we are, what's important, and where we're going or what we're doing. I don't believe we can 'change' the world. The world is going where it wants, and we can barely consciously change ourselves besides the whole of the world. But to have a 'common bond', I would offer that we would need to have respect for each other first - lose our self-importance, our self-righteousness, without losing our self-respect. We would need the humility to yield, yet the wisdom and courage to uphold what's being well done. We would need a 'forest for the trees' dedication to outcome, and to those who struggled to cope, our highest priority and attention. Then, we could trust again. We could have 'buy-in' for the vision. We would know that we - people - were the highest priority, and that our freedom to live and our well-being was the only goal - each and every one of us - and that the failure of one was a disgrace to us all. Because we are a connected race, and therein lies our true strength and joy.

Aug 5 2013: I like your idea. I gave it a thumbs-up. It's an interesting answer that you've given, 'the vision'. I'm curious, however, if it is reasonable to think that a common vision is really thing or not. It makes me think of vision statements and mission statements and such made my corporations. Which are a kind of community. They are made up of individuals working together as a whole. But just as all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, so to all corporations are communities, but not all communities are corporations. A common vision might work well for a corporation, but take one look at the divisive nature of democracy (at least in my country) and it is readily apparent that we do not hold a common vision. Rather this is a country, in fact, a world of competing visions. In my opinion.

I took a stab @ my own answer in a TEDx Talk called "Kibbutzing Your Hood". My idea? Strong communities depend on a high "kibitz quotient" — and tend to have built environments & cultures that promote conversation, cooperation, positive gossip & ultimately a shared mythology to rally around when times get tough.
Scaling that up can be tricky, though, especially when so much in our high-tech world pulls in the opposite direction.
I welcome any thoughts...
http://youtu.be/OFRMyKVF7j0Jul 22 2013: knowing each other personally. beyond that, the best you can hope for is empathy but the wider the circle, the weaker the bond.
people are very removed from each other through distance and time as well as the systems we put in place.
Jul 22 2013: I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman last night who had so much beautiful life experience. It is my hope that everyone can have experiences like that. We had a deep and insightful conversation that truly opened my eyes to how much is possible in this world.
Jon Miner
Jul 12 2013: Communities that survive will have more than a single bond holding them together. Be that as it may, the main warp and weave of a successful society are love and respect. Things happen that make us lose sight, perhaps only temporarily, of our love or respect for someone, but the strength of our other thread can hold us together until the lost thread is regained in a less emotionally charged time.
- +2
Building bonds with other people or societies require us to offer love and respect. If we can not accept another person, or society, it is a sign, whether justified or unjustified, that we do not love nor respect that person or society. The broad view would show us that every person or society has aspects that are both lovable and worthy of respect. To grow together as a species, we have to put our emphasis on the aspects which we can love and respect. If we allow our fear of their differences to drive us away, then we will never be able to grow together.Jul 12 2013: Kindness,Love.

If it's not forced,
the fact that each one is responsible for the group makes them stronger and prevents them from being corrupted(or being extremely selfish)
What we need is a proper sense of responsibility.
Not only does it hold a community together, but also it changes the world.
Jul 11 2013: Absolutely agree.Jul 11 2013: Love, understanding, wise leaders, common heritage; shared goals and aspiration.Jul 10 2013: the word you are looking for is LOVE.
thats one true bond. thats what holds a community together.
one doesn't need to use it to strengthen our relationships and grow because that is its default characteristics.
you said 'if woven properly' ...that somewhere assumes that the world doesn't understand the language of love yet.
so, one need not worry about how this 'bond' will work coz its alive.
one needs to rather focus on the 'woven' part. one needs to connect with the whole.
and we do not just become a part but become the whole.
then love overflows.
then whatsoever 'change' was needed at the very moment is taken care.
Jul 11 2013: Love changes everything. :) I believe that we can connect the whole through positive thoughts leading to positive action.
it is not you that is changed by my love
it is my love that finally
changed me.
RIC S. BASTASAJul 16 2013: Samuel: your basic idea is good, but at present the average person is just not up to it. It is a fact of history, as well as social psych that people "weave" just fine with those with whom they feel a cultural identity or at least a manageable similarity. That's what ethnic groups really are. It is clear that this feeliing can be expanded, but probably not by force or coercion, just experience. That seems to be the lesson of US "Integration", a very disappointing experience for most people in the US. You just can't rush it without Blowback.Jul 25 2013: The bond is communication
Jul 26 2013: What sort of communication do you believe to be most beneficial? Is it more paralinguistic or linguistic based?
Aug 5 2013: I'm not sure what you mean by paralinguistic or linguistic based. David's comment made me think about how paramount communication is within communities and between communities. If communication were to be the bond it would suggest a world in which it is no longer necessary to go to war, because there is a consensus that a diplomatic solution can be reached. When I think of what is requisite to have an open communication, and I mean a real dialogue, I think of respect, free expression, active listening, etc., all of which happen to be the requisites for a community.
In other words, if you can hold a conversation then you can have a community. The key is communication. That may or may not be what David intended, but that's what came to my mind when I read his comment. I'll probably re-think it over a different way in the next couple minutes, but oh well.Aug 5 2013: David, I think that is a start in the right direction. I'd be interested to hear what your answers are to Kimberly's questions.

Jul 25 2013: Someone once answered a similar question for me in an unexpected way.

The question was: "If wealth is the product of cooperation, what is cooperation the product of?"
After some thought about their life experiences, their answer was: "Dependency."
In the specific case you speak of, locally derived incomes, or cooperation derived income, or meeting of needs.
... Er, that would be if you are defining community by geography.
Thank you for asking this question. That is as pat an answer as I know, but this question, to me at least, requires a discussion with a lot of listening on my part.
Jul 26 2013: Likewise. I am finding that the more in depth this conversation becomes, the more silent I am as I am digesting all of the responses to see how I can best formulate my own conclusion on the matter.Jul 24 2013: I think you have already found the bond; TED.

Jul 22 2013: hate to say this but until the human race thinks of itself as 1 tribe with a shared set of moral codes, nothing is going to change. Personal contact helps but as I was told many years ago, "I do not fear my neighbors, I fear yours."

The "bond" is the symbiosis in our DNA.
It makes humankind survive in very difficult conditions 10,000 years ago.Jul 21 2013: This is a question that fits in with my theory that we are all connected by the spark of energy that is life. Most people call it soul or spirit. However, spirit is so overwhelmed by mental images and thoughts that it is usually drowned out. Our western "civilized" culture thrives on being separate -- the win/lose idea behind everything we do. However, the many faces of spirituality that have emerged over the last couple of decades gives me hope. Everything really is an illusion, except that connection. I am writing a screenplay in which an entire community evolves into a whole new way of doing things, and it depends on this connection. I just started it a few weeks ago, and am open to suggestions of things to include to make it more interesting or exciting. You can find details about it here: https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7574015113281130853#editor/target=post;postID=2606066310011499927;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=7;src=postnameJul 19 2013: The bond that holds a community together is love. You have to be willing to love your neighbor as yourself. Speak to them, offer to help them when you see that they are in need, and not just your neighbor on your right and left, but those all around you. It is then and only then, that others will watch, admire and follow in your footsteps.Jul 16 2013: Interacting with people in a positive cooperative way.
Meeting face to face on a regular basis is therefore crucial for strong bonds.
This fabric of connections is what forms society.
If you are cooperative, and encourage others to do so as well (being cooperative and encouraging others to do so as well), then you can change the world towards a direction you so choose.Jul 15 2013: The bond which holds a community or people together is empathy and caring for one another. As our amount of care grows, so does our love and compassion and happiness.Jul 14 2013: First and foremost, the most overriding consideration: The inverse of size. The larger a community is, the less cohesive it will be. Thus, there will probably never be a "common bond" for the world. The trend is apparently hard-wired into primate nervous systems. After a certain size, people just are not able to care.
Jul 15 2013: Quite so.
As harsh as it seems the more the world populates the less we can arrest poverty and abuse. People give up, remembering our countries have homeless too. Giving more and more aid is just not possible without some restraint on the numbers being born. The caring is there and compassion however all is overridden where the problem is the sheer numbers ...7 Billion today..... 12 billion on the horizon.
Reminds me of a local dilemma - too many domestic animals being born. Millions just being born to be euthanased. All animals sold at a pet shop to be desexed before sale to stop the carnage. For humans microchip contraception.
Jul 25 2013: I agree Karmel.
The population is growing beyond it's sustainable size. Some kind of control needs to be endorsed or the Earth's resources will fail to support the whole. Voluntary microchipped contraception is a touchy suggestion, as I can definitely see abuse arising with it. However, as it appears from the grossly immense number of unplanned pregnancy and the paths in which people choose to address it (I am not going there, so we'll keep on track with the topic) it seems that better methods for birth control should be considered.
I second that population overload is a great hinder to the possibility for a greater sense of community in the world, but it is not an impossibility. We simply need to adjust.

History has an interesting set of lessons about the U.S.A. Millions of people came to America when it was an untamed wilderness. Millions more have come to live in the new, urban landscape. History teaches us that the ONE fact that all of these people had in common was their great LACK of common ideas & values & beliefs. The only exception to that rule is those who came to the Americas as slaves. Their story is special & unique.
But all these people, got together and created a new nation based upon ideas that had never ALL been implemented together for everyone all at the same time. Mostly people just helped one another create a civilization out of a wilderness. All those cultural, language, & religious differences just did not matter once everyone had to pull together to make things work!
I guess the most important things is having a common goal & a common dream that everyone can hope to achieve together. That is what is most important for everyone. That is the thing that has changed the world.

Jul 10 2013: I believe what brings a community together is that which defines it; it's culture.

Jul 10 2013: A classic in this area is Jane Jacobs The Death and Life of Great American Cities (check, as I might have the title a little wrong). One useful idea to think about in considering her work as well as work on suburbs and on rural areas is that community can look different in different sorts of configurations. Indeed, a variety of different kinds of communities may have different kinds of bonds that connect people to each other..

Jul 10 2013: While the community looks different on the surface, I am discovering through my travels throughout the world that each community has a common thread much like found in tribes. There is an inherent need for food, shelter, and safety and a desire for love.
But what is the attractive force holding us together and attracting us to one another to live in these tribes?
Jul 11 2013: The attractive force is simply utility, in our capitalist world we discard people who are not of use to us. Most of our relationships are superficial (see: Divorce rate). Values are constantly shifting under heavy advertising and propaganda. People tend to value power and shun the powerless.
Jul 16 2013: Bob: the answer cannot be "Utility" , because if it were, the Soviet Union would not have fallen apart.Jul 11 2013: Are you saying the community has these inherent needs or that all individuals do?
Jul 11 2013: For the community to flourish, there are inherent needs for its survival which need to develop within the individual and adapted/accepted by the tribe.Jul 23 2013: Safety and comfort in numbers could be the simple formulae, based on your observation that there is an inherent need for food, shelter safety and a desire for love. I roll the concepts of safety into the one variable -shelter. So it would be Food, shelter and a desire for companionship (in case love is too strong a force).Aug 10 2013: The law? Seriously.Aug 9 2013: We all have to learn about the basic law of nature: every single creature in this world is born to be unique.
The true importance of an individual in our society does not make much sense to us unless some individual seemly has power over our lives.
A truly effective school in our childhood shall be a small society where everyone growing up developing its character within the best of his/her unique abilities, and as a part of a whole of this small society. Let young students freely try different schools/environments to eventually find a place to feel "comfortable" in communications with others while gaining recognition as a Person with more or less unique qualities.
Nature, which is our ULTIMATE school. However, we never learn about this basic fact of life, or better to say -the most powerful law in our existence- and therefore, our ignorance becomes the very core of all our human-made problems. We mistakenly expect that everyone shall feel and understand others the same way. The morals that we artificially create and glorified: one's rightness, or goodness are based on how one feels about himself -- are the most idiotic and harmful.
All existing man-made systems, including education, healthcare and industries, serve no living person, but only some collective, non-existing prototype. These artificial systems require us to adjust to them obeying their mindless rules.
Smaller diverse communities and small systems that more or less serve different interests and different characters, in the environment that inspires new experience and knowledge, would be a great start for healing our depressed psyche. Well, why not to start with re-thinking education? Why not to start learning about our own human nature from our very uncorrupted early childhood, free from conventions? A very intuitive young mind has great vision that we, as adults, loose quickly as we grow up tamed by our stiff old mentality.Aug 5 2013: One should define community, i'd say. Is a corporation a community? Is Al Qaeda a community? Is the military a community? One could argue yes to all these examples. People form communities for pure unmitigated self interest. They will stay engaged in it as long as the group meets some need for them. When they no longer benefit from it, they will withdraw,and isolate themselves from it. The communities, or groups that survive the longest are the ones who go out of their way to engage all potential members who could contribute to it. When there is a sincere desire to share broad cooperation, and involvement then there is loyalty, and a propensity to remain engaged. To the extent that individuals of strong personality, or ulterior motive become prominent and abusive of the original goals the community begins immediately to disintegrate. If you want a community to survive, you must make a plan , a strategy to make sure all members are kept abreast of activities and actively encouraged to participate. When egos, and self interest dominate the community disintegrates. Pretty simple biological reality, and logic. For some it's an intense need to take charge, or make progress on some issue of mutual interest, for others it might just be the comfort of companionship.Aug 5 2013: The recognition that all life is one. A community is, after all, much more than a collection of interdependent people. The 'common bond' extends beyond that of one individual to another and these individuals to the whole. It is woven properly by experiencing the inherently unified nature of the world, as a whole, through the bonds that we share not only within our own species, but with other species, and with the environment as a whole.
Consider how an individual person is already a community. There is the human microbiome, for instance, a mass of microorganisms living on and in them, weighing a pound or several pounds depending on the person, without which they would perish.
Then consider how that individual is involved in a constant exchange of liquids, gases and solids, through breathing, eating, and myriad other processes. Where is one to draw a line between this and the shared beliefs or traded goods or services rendered and payments received?
I believe that the bond that holds us together is to be found in the way that we weave our human threads, not merely into a patch of humanity, but into the fabric of existence. There have been some interesting answers posted prior to mine, some which I think are much better than mine in ways. One I like very much says that what holds the community together comes down to the relationship of one individual to another. What I'm doing a poor job of trying to express is that it goes to a level more fundamental than that, which is the individual's relationship to the world itself. When one recognizes that "thou art that", so to speak, that they are themselves and yet they are the other person also, that they are not apart from the world, but a part of the world, THEN the community will begin to grow strong.Aug 4 2013: Common ideas, believes, goals, code of conduct ... all those form part of what's properly called "asabya", which is an arabic word that somewhat resembles english "solidarity" and "comradeship". Society with more or less monolithic asabya has more in common between all the classes regardless of the social strata and communicates better. Society that lost its asabya is on the way to the social disintegration that at first shows in increasing fragmentation and may end up starting a civil war.
Can this common bond positively change the world? It is a tough question to answer in less than three thousand words. It can and does change the world already (Internet), but narrowing it down to "positive" kind is a bit of redux. We cannot say if the results are positive or negative with 100 accuracy, rather, we can label some positive tendencies and some negative ones, because almost every change at the level of a society has multiple results. I am an optimist who prefers to see the positive results, however.Aug 1 2013: Common ideas and beliefs hold the community together. If the beliefs and ideas are non-limiting and positive, this makes the society grow. If the ideas are limiting the community can't grow. Sometimes the ideas can be so limiting that anyone who breaks out of the beliefs of the community and follows their own ways are considered outcasts, as in the case with lower caste Indian communities.

This post should be more fun & less serious than most. My daughter is getting married in April. In addition to me, there will be others invited to the wedding & reception who are vegans or vegetarians. Please help me with suggestions for foods to serve at the reception! There won't be a meal served, rather "nibbly" foods. We live in South Carolina so I'll be able to get beautiful fresh strawberries at the farmer's market. Strawberries and a big tray of fresh raw veggies for dipping in hummus, and I'm out of ideas. The punch is going to be white grape juice with ginger ale. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!
cake? there are really yummy and decadent cake options that are vegan - start looking for either a good recipe or (less stress for you) a good vegan bakery (or a baker who is familiar with vegan baking). They do exist. A couple years ago, we had vegan cupcakes for son's birthday (his choice - we knew someone who was starting a vegan cupcake catering business). They were awesome! Even the non-vegans in the family (most of the folks at the part) just were in awe of the amazing moist rich cupcakes and frosting (chocolate cupcakes, chocolate frosting, peanut butter filling!)
Try some crostini or bruschetta with different toppings - toppings can range from vegan (olive tapenade for example) to vegetarian (goat cheese and walnuts) to omni (smoked salmon). Really simple in concept, finger foods, but very chic too. Toppings can include sliced or chopped fresh veggies (whatever is local and in season for you). You can also use different types of bread for the base (typically it's a crusty Italian type but it can be other things as well).
Oh, and veggie and fruit kebabs - skewer chunks of fresh fruit (whatever you like, pineapple, grapes, berries, etc) or fresh veggies (mushrooms, grape tomato, olives, cucumbers, etc).
Perhaps there is a way to find out what was on the menu for other vegan weddings, such as Chelsea Clinton's or Ellen Degeneres'!
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
All I've been able to find about food served at Ellen Degeneres' wedding is their cake was a "green" red velvet vegan cake. As for Chelsea Clinton's wedding, it was disappointing. Her guests were served either grass-fed beef short ribs or grilled Atlantic char. Neither my daughter or her fiance are vegan, but they have agreed to include some vegan options at the reception.
My hubby suggested stuffed portabello mushrooms - panko crumbs, chop up the mushroom stems, some kalamata olives, a little veg stock if needed to hold it together, and herbs/seasonings. Then bake until warmed through. The baby bellas would be more like bite sized morsels than the big ones but either would work.
My daughter had a vegan (with a few vegetarian options) wedding a few years ago. Spring rolls with a dipping sauce were popular. There are lots of other vegan hors d'oeuvres out there. Colleen Patrick Goudreau's cookbook for entertaining - The Vegan Table - has a whole chapter of Buffets, Heavy Appetizers, and Finger Foods and her recipes are awewome!

The Mercedes-Benz CLS established the "four-door coupe" genre in 2006, eventually inspiring imitators like the Volkswagen CC, the Hyundai Sonata, and the Audi A7. While the sleek shape erodes some of the practicality associated with a typical four-door, the success of the CLS reinforces a simple truth: people want beautiful cars. Mechanically, the CLS is a reskinned E-class with high-end equipment, but in terms of packaging it is a very different car. The CLS is about three inches longer and two inches lower than the E-class, and the sweeping roofline creates a more intimate cabin. The top of the windshield sits closer to passengers and the center console stretches between the rear seats, making the CLS strictly a four-seater. Optional active parking assist steers the CLS into parallel parking spots as the driver controls the throttle and brakes. A twin-turbo 4.6-liter V-8 good for 402 hp powers the base CLS550. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is standard in the CLS550 4Matic. The CLS63 AMG uses the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 to produce 518 hp and 4.4-second runs to 60 mph. The AMG car also incorporates start-stop technology to eliminate fuel consumption when stopped at traffic lights. Every CLS is equipped with Mercedes' Airmatic suspension and a well-mannered seven-speed automatic transmission. It all adds up to a creamy, polished, and poised car. Factor in the beautiful body of this posh cruiser, and it's easy to see why the CLS sells for $12,000 more than the E-class that it's based on.

Citing issues with personal time, Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors President Marvell Howard relinquished his leadership position following Monday's meeting.
The board unanimously chose District 2 Supervisor Orlando Trainer as Howard's successor. Trainer, the board's previous vice president, is the group's most senior elected official. First-term Supervisor John Montgomery was elected board vice president. Both decisions resulted from unanimous votes.
Howard will remain District 3's supervisor and said he will serve his constituents just as passionately as he did as board president.
"I've loved every minute of every second (serving as board president), but being president requires a tremendous amount of time," Howard said Monday while announcing his plans.
Trainer said his new role will provide great pleasure by allowing him to continue serving the people of Oktibbeha County.
"It's a great honor, but it's also a great task to undertake," Trainer said following Monday's meeting. "When leading, you have to want to step out to the front because you cannot lead from behind."
Montgomery said it is an honor to be chosen by his fellow representatives for a county leadership position.
"Marvell was a great board president and always kept things running smoothly," Montgomery said. "Orlando and I have some large shoes to fill. I was offered the position and I was called to serve the people, so I'll take the responsibility it brings."
Both board appointments will continue through the year. At the beginning of each calendar year, supervisors vote on the two leadership positions.

Dietetics' HELP Program Wins Award
|Tomatoes grown by local farmers are among the fruits and vegetables that are processed for meals served in the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District.
A Saint Louis University nutrition and dietetics partnership designed to teach school children to eat healthier has received a 2011 FOCUS St. Louis "What's Right with the Region" award.
The Health Eating with Local Produce (HELP) program was among those initiatives recognized in May for fostering regional cooperation. Funded by a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health, HELP involves SLU, the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District, the Missouri Farmers Union and Sappington Farmers Market in the collaboration.
Food from local farmers is delivered to a food processing center in the Salus Center where SLU students, dietitians and chefs lead Maplewood Richmond Heights high school students in preparing it for meals that are served in the district's cafeteria.
HELP financially supports local farmers, engages SLU in educating Maplewood Richmond Heights students and helps Maplewood Richmond Heights students to make wiser food choices.
Awards were given to 20 people and organizations on May 5.

Can I use this to mirror the drive on my time capsule. Ie using the USB port on both and does time capsule have utility for this?
I want to go all solid state on machine and then use three or for time capsules linked to these. Or is there a better technique for this. Maybe wireless router with connected mirror raids. I would prefer not to create server. I want to be able to grab drive and power cord and take it whenever I want. I don't want any wires on my computers. Obviously I will need a few but this would be ideal in 2 terabyte models if this possible

On Sunday a friend asked a group of us, "If there was anything you could change about yourself, what would it be?"
There was a variety of answers, many having to do with a desire for musical talents or athletic abilities. One longed for the skill to blow up balloons, while another wished simply that he could open bags of deli meat without ripping them to shreds. The discussion brought me back to a similar train of thought I had hopped on the day before, while walking around the International Fiesta on campus. It was there I thought it might be helpful to be a cow.
Perhaps I should clarify. There was no cud for sale, nor have I ever been one to chew anything – gum, tobacco or otherwise - for any length of time. It was not that I wanted my own personal milk supply, because that would require other significant changes as well. I just wanted more than one stomach. (And I'm not referring to multiple love handles – that wouldn't require much change, I'm afraid.) There were just so many intriguing foods being offered by all the different international student organizations, and I only had so much room in my one pitiful stomach. But despite my human limitations, I gave it my best shot and tried as many as I could.
We had recently enjoyed a full-on Turkish dinner prepared by some friends of ours, so we knew we could count on something tasty at the Turkish table. At the same time, we were trying to pace ourselves, so we settled on two items to get us started. First was a mini kabob of some sort, which seemed to be a meatball wrapped in a thin slice of eggplant, topped with a bit of tomato. Dessert was next (because I am a grown-up and I knew it would not ruin the rest of my lunch). The sign said "birds nest", and it was similar to baklava in texture and flavor, but shaped like a birds' nest and stuffed (where the eggs would be) with chopped pistachios. I was very disappointed when I went back at the end of the day to snag some more and they were gone. Disappointed, but not surprised.
The Pakistani table had both familiar and new items for tasting. Chicken Biryani was on the menu there, which I had tasted before, though I confess I thought it was an Iraqi dish. I guess biryani crosses borders without a passport, and I'm glad it has made it to America. This may have been the wife's favorite dish of the day. As a side dish, I got a potato cutlus, which was a fried potato cake mixed with onion, corn, and finely chopped herbs. It had plenty of flavor on its own, but was still simple enough to play well against the spicy biryani.
Next up was the Chinese table. They had a grill going and some little kabobs that they were calling Mongolian barbecue. I've been to a Mongolian barbecue restaurant before – this was vastly different, yet still interestingly spiced. But the most interesting item of the day was on the other end of the table, and when I first approached, there was no visible sign to identify the food. At first I thought I was seeing some sort of large brown nut with a split shell, but it turned out to be boiled eggs marinated in something…brown. I could identify what I thought was star anise scattered amongst the eggs, and some kind of leaf, but the enthusiastic servers could only tell me it was a very special egg. I decided to go for it, and was pleasantly relieved to find it delicious. It had a much milder flavor than the dark color and big spices suggested. Later I went back to seek out the name, and they found the sign which had been inadvertently hidden – I had eaten a Tsingtao Beer Egg. A definite first for this foodie.
As we began getting full and ready to round out the day, we did a whirlwind tasting tour of the rest of the world. Momo from Nepal was new – dumplings made with ground turkey, served with a mildly spicy sauce. For a plate of familiarity we grazed from the Arab offerings of falafel, hummus, pita and stuffed grape leaves. A fitting final course was a piece of Native American frybread, sprinkled with powdered sugar and dipped in sorghum molasses (my choice.) There's no better way to close out a day at a festival than to savor something fried.

Building a big-block that's better in every way than the original Mark IV 427/435 is no small feat. But with the technology and high- performance parts that are currently available, it's not as difficult as you might expect. In this article, we'll show you everything you'll need to make this build as easy as possible.
As the saying goes, "It all starts with a good foundation." And the foundation for the original 427/435 was a four-bolt-main iron block with forged rods, pistons, and crankshaft. You can shop eBay and Craigslist for one of these blocks and then try to locate the correct complementary hardware. Even if you're able to do that, you'll still need to have everything machined, Magnafluxed, balanced, and generally reconditioned from top to bottom. When all is said and done, you'll spend a small fortune.
Laying the Groundwork
The plan we chose for our non-numbers-matching C3 should prove easier and much less expensive. We just went down to Jim Ellis Chevrolet and ordered a brand-new ZZ454 short-block. It's the latest, fully assembled, "Gen VI" version of the original iron big-block, and it comes with the same bulletproof four-bolt mains and a forged rotating assembly. Superior metallurgy and a modern forging process make this new block even stronger than the original, and the updated oil-pan gasket and rear main seal eliminate the usual leaks.
One of the keys to making big power is the ability to breathe. Getting the air and fuel in and out is critical. The original Mark IV 427 needed a solid-lifter cam, an 11:1 compression, and 100-octane leaded premium fuel to pump out the 435 horsepower. This new ZZ454, with the factory-installed aluminum heads, is rated at 440 hp right out of the box. With that as our baseline, we initially decided that 500 horses would be a good target. But, truth be told, that figure just isn't as impressive as it used to be.
In the hopes of obtaining even more power, we contacted Air Flow Research (AFR) to discuss our project. AFR recommended its aluminum 265 oval-port heads, which we ordered fully assembled with titanium retainers and heavy-duty valvesprings. The intake ports and combustion chambers were completely CNC'd, as were the bowls on the exhaust ports. The intake side on these heads flows 356 cfm at 0.600 lift, while the exhaust ports flow 270 cfm. That's comparable to the flow numbers on the latest Corvette's cutting- edge LS3 aluminum heads.
On our big-block, these AFRs will flow like Niagara Falls and deliver a high-velocity charge into the combustion chamber to make great torque throughout the powerband. AFR also milled the heads to increase our compression from the ZZ454's stock 9.7:1 to 10.25:1. Even so, we were assured that this motor would run on 91-octane unleaded pump gas all day long.
Since we were upgrading the heads, we decided to install a hotter camshaft as well. We weren't exactly sure what grind we needed, but we knew we wanted a hydraulic cam so we could avoid the frequent valve adjustments common to the original 427/435. The reduced friction and longer life expectancy of a hydraulic roller cam made it the ideal choice.
In spite of our 500-plus-hp target, this motor would be purely for street use. As such, it would need to develop enough vacuum for our power brake system and headlight actuators, and a reasonable idle would be nice, too. Finally, we want it to make power from 2,000 rpm all the way to 6,000 rpm for good driveability. In short, we wanted it all but weren't sure how to get it. Enter Lamar and Rob Walden.

Justin Bieber Opens Up About Selena Gomez to Oprah: "She Has a Good Heart"
Justin Bieber opened up about his love for (now ex) girlfriend Selena Gomez during a sit down interview that aired on the OWN Network last night.
But before getting excited about any grand declarations or Jelena reunions, there's one thing to keep in mind: the interview was filmed about a month before the couple called it quits. Nevertheless, Justin's comments about his one-time love couldn't have been cuter.
"I am all about genuine people, and I feel like she's just one of the most genuine people," he told Oprah after being asked about Selena. "She just has a good heart. And I can talk to her about anything."
While the couple broke things off earlier this month, the on-again and off-again lovebirds have been spotted together multiple times since. Whether this means the two are back together or strictly friends, it sounds like Justin could use the company either way.
"I really don't have a lot of friends," he told Oprah. "I have three close friends. You just feel sometimes that you need someone to be there with you. I get days where I'm just down and gloomy."

Egypt harbors some of the most famous and impressive ruins on the planet. There are the Pyramids of Giza, The Sphynx, and countless tombs, and judging by what has been found on the walls and interior of those sites, the ancient Egyptians were fans of beautiful decor. Gold, jet, carnelian, lapis-lazuli, and onyx were the decorating mediums of choice and elaborate sculptures of deities were commonplace. Although relatively few of those items have survived for more than 3,000 years, the style and beauty of Egyptian art lives on in modern times.
Several of our Egyptian decorations are also functional in nature and include a number of lighting options. The Isis Egyptian Sculptural Table Lamp provides lighting in the form of an artistic, wonderful 1920 Egyptian Revival piece. Use this beautiful item to add character to one room and golden splendor to another in the form of the stunning King Tutankhamen's Sculptural Table Lamp.
For rooms that require lamps with a bit more height, the Egyptian Goddess of the Night Illuminated Statue is a wonderful, unique, three foot tall work of Egyptian art. Get two of these beauties to double the lighting and Egyptian character of a distinguished room.

041-0625 Long Distance Footpegs (expanded front) R11xxGS, R1200GS/ADV, F650GS, G650GS, F800/700/650GS(Twin) (pair)
The footpeg width is expanded rearward by about 18mm (.75 inch) retaining the original distance between the boots and the brake lever or gear lever. Part number 041-0625 has the same extension forward which reduces the distance to shift/brake lever. The wider serrated foot base also allows longer distances to be covered comfortably while standing on the footpegs.
Well made and super easy to install. I couldn't use the rubber inserts that came with the stock pegs as this would create an uneven area. But there's a lot more surface area when sitting and it's noticeably more comfortable too. Note: the teeth are sharp and the boots don't move around at all. If you're used to sliding your foot on the pegs while cruising - you'll have to lift them a little to get over the gnarly little teeth first. The long distance pegs provide superior positive control when riding standing up compared to the wee narrow stock pegs. These are way more comfortable and give me significantly more confidence off-road.
