Miltary Reserve
As the title reads, when i graduate from college I've decided I'd like to join a reserve branch of the military...problem is I'm not sure which one . I chose the reserve for two reasons...
1. I want to give back to this country but don't want to be a career soldier. I'd like to stay home and have a civilian job.
2. It may or may not be much, but the reservists benefits would really help a kid like me out.
I'd also like to help as much as i can. I was a swimmer in high school (All-American ) so i was thinking Coast Guard reserve is where i could do the most good...possibly National Guard reserve. I'm not interested in being shipped off out of country to go kill people...that's why i figured Army/Marine reserve wouldn't be a good idea. Any thoughts from any reserve soldiers here would be a great idea. In fact, any thoughts on joining reserve vs full time would be great as well.
I'm active, and know very little about the reserve side of things.
However, you mentioned USCG, if you need any further info there, PM me............. I know some folks
I don't know how a reserve AST (rescue swimmer) would work out. There is alot of training to keep up on, I don't think you'd be able to keep up with the one weekend one month deal
Anyway, let me know if you have any more USCG, AST specific questions
As a part time gig it would be OK, but I don't think you'd get that much out of it. I guess it depends on what you're lloking to get from it, but for me, the reserves wouldn't cut it. You just can't focus any time on it, therefore you are basiclly useless at "work".
I'm not trying to discourage you at all. I'm not trying to get you to go active either. I'm just stating how I feel...
And this is all based on USCG reserve, I know VERY little about Nat. Guard, were you looking at air guard, army guard?
well Im active as well and don't know a whole lot about the reserve side, however the benefits that I see in this economy are OUTWEIGHED, FAR OUTWEIGHED by being a reservist.
you have full health care, a GUARANTEED roof over your head, GUARANTEED food on your table, GUARANTEED paycheck( so long as you stay out of trouble ). and to be honest with you, deploying( going overseas ) isn't ALWAYS about killing people. I am currently overseas working with the locals in training and such and we do NO life threatening missions, however there are those jobs. this is my second deployment and both were not life threatening in any way. it's really something to think about.....and plus, the extra money while you're deployed ( IS ALOT OF FUN............WAIT TIL YOU SEE MY TRUCK WHEN IT GETS DONE IN A FEW DAYS............AND IT WAS ALL DONE IN "FREE" MODS!!!) there is alot of money to be made however, don't go into this job or any job ONLY looking at the monetary benefits. it's great to see young kids talk about going into the military, and it really annoys me that I watch some of these guys in the military that are so excited to get out, and in this economy jobs are so hard to find. )
good luck and best choices.
I have been both active and resv army.....
I will tell you i hated the army resv, to get anything done (pay issues schools etc) took forever cause only a few people actually worked fulltime (AGR)
Benefits wise active army is the better option
But as a personal note don't join the army if u like swimming like I do join the navy the last 2 army post I hve been at the pool was closed for some reason or another. BTW we don't go over and "kill people". I kinda take offense to that for instance I'm a medic and I'm a paralegal for the army no where in either job descriptions does it say I kill people, quite the contrary...... But I am prepared to defend myself
It's nice to hear opinions from active members who aren't trying to get me to go full time. Anytime i bring it up with my idiot friends all they say is "Reserve? That's for panzies!" or "Be a SEAL, Ranger, Marine Recon anything but Reserve, that's just stupid". Dang closed minded rednecks . Anyways, i wouldn't be joining only for the money, i truly do want to give back. I'm a certified EMT Basic as of a week ago () and plan on becoming volunteer over the summer. I won't be graduating for some time though...depending on how far i take my education it could be 3 more years or it could be 7-10. Is there any use for a paramedic in the Coast Guard Reserve? (might be a dumb question, i dunno).
What was it like being Army Reserve? Training, pay, benefits, can you still work a civilian job, were you shipped out of your area for anytime...etc. Any use for a paramedic in the Army Reserve? Pretty much any and all info would be greatly appreciated
Since you are working on your degree, I recommend becomming an officer. Much higher pay which leads to a larger retirement down the road. I was shocked when I saw the monthly reservist/guard pay chart. I was an NCO and am now a Commissioned Officer and although I really liked being a squad leader, being a company commander is even better and the benefits of being an officer make it even more worth while.
I understand that you're not in it for the money and neither am I but if you have the option available, you might as well use it. Tell us more about yourself, age, education, etc. Sounds like Med Service Corps might be for you. Good friend of mine was in 3rd Ranger Bat and went MSC when he became an officer.
And BTW, depending on your situation, if your a cadet going through training while in the reserve/NG, you can't deploy.

And I'm 18, in college studying Post-Gilded Age American History. I plan on taking my degree up the the Ph.D level...possibly an Ed.D in place. Ed.D would make more sense in my future field of work i presume. I recently became an EMT basic as stated before and plan on volunteering over the summer at the station back home. I'm not good at much...except swimming lol. That's why i figured coast guard would be great. But I do take a liking to the emergency medical services.
I'm 6'4", I can hit 160 lbs in wet clothes after eating on a good day, mile time in the mid 7 minute area and have absloutely no muscle mass . My teammates call me stick
^^ Yes. That's exactly how you go about doing it. If you're a full time student and elect to partake in Mil Science, when you graduate, you will receive your commission as a Second Lieutenant. You will also receive a monthly stipend for being a cadet (more money) and may qualify for a reserve officer scholarship. You can elect to either stay in the guard/reserve or go on active duty however you need to make your mind up on that sometime during your junior yearof school. If you go to Basic Training one summer and then AIT the next, you will be able to receive a State Sponsored GI Bill with Kicker and then tuition reimbursement benefits to help pay for school. As a fresh/sophomore, if you contract ROTC and pledge to become an officer when you graduate and enlist in the state's National Guard, you will be part of the SMP program (Simultaneous Membership Program). This means you receive both state and federal tuition assistance and stipends totalling up to $800-$900 plus tuition reimbursement at the end of the semesters.

Bettencourt sees running for Texas Senate as an extension of his work at the tax office.
"I'm very public policy-based and very concerned about what happens to taxpayers in the process of budgeting and property tax appraisals, et cetera."
The Republican notes that the last state budget was over $200 billion dollars.
"And that's up by almost twice — it actually is double of when I was a young tax assessor. So I'm hoping to be able to bring what I did at the Harris County Tax Office and my business experience, and really look for some cuts because these budgets have been going up way faster than a yardstick like the inflation and population rate combined."
But he says there are many other non-economic issues.
"Clearly we saw last week a major meltdown in the Texas Senate. I think that complete lack of decorum isn't good for either party, quite frankly. And as a pro-life Catholic, I've got an opinion. But I don't see any reason why you should have a leadership failure where the votes aren't done in a rational period of time and there's not a chance for hearings. But that was just a pressure cooker of Biblical proportions, and nothing good came of it."
Bettencourt says it's important to limit state government, making the private sector more able to create jobs.

LA VERGNE - The official release of the "Crime in Tennessee 2012" Report by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed what Police Chief Mike Walker suspected: The city of La Vergne in 2012 experienced its lowest crime rate in at least a decade.
Along with that statistic comes the good news that among the larger cities in Rutherford County, as well as 12 cities of comparable size throughout the state, La Vergne has the fourth lowest rate for Group A crimes (felony crimes). The La Vergne crime rate in 2012 was lower than both Smyrna and Murfreesboro.
"A sign of a good leader is someone who surrounds themselves with qualified, smart people," said Chief Walker. "We have had the great fortune of hiring and retaining incredibly talented, professional law enforcement officers and it is my privilege to work with each of them. This team is a force to be reckoned with."
In 2012, the crime rate had dropped a whopping 54 percent to 5,181 from its highest rate of 9,258 in 2005. Most recently, it dropped 7 percent from 2010 to 2011 and 17 percent from 2011 to 2012, or about 24 percent in the last two years.
"I have heard people remark that the actions in the last two years at City Hall and at the Police Department have disrupted lives and they have said 'it would all come out in the wash soon.' I am here to tell you this laundry is looking pretty good right now," said Mayor Senna Mosley. "We are seeing a direct correlation between the Board adequately funding and equipping our law enforcement officers with this drastic reduction in crimes committed in our city. I am incredibly proud of our police force, every single one of them in patrol and crime suppression, criminal investigation, dispatch, and administration."
Total offenses have fallen 20.2 percent, crimes against property have fallen 39 percent, and arrests are up 5.6 percent. However, domestic violence offenses continue to be of great concern.
They make up more than 51 percent of all crimes against persons in the state and 40.2 percent of the crimes against persons in La Vergne.
The first action a victim of domestic violence can take is contacting the police to report the incident. A hospital will treat any wounds, as well as helping to document injuries. A victim may then seek shelter in a safe place and file a protective order.
"Our police are available at any time, day or night, to help any victims of domestic violence or other crimes," said Chief Walker. "Our duty is to ensure the safety of lives and property in La Vergne and we will do everything in our power to protect our community and its citizens."

Last night's sketch: Nightcrawler in mid-BAMF
Looking at this a day later, I think his pose is a little too chill. He's in mid-transit through another dimension and should be in more of an action pose. I suppose this time he was just sitting on the couch and decided to teleport into the bathroom.
I've been working on a new comic, and it's almost time to share it with everyone. To be notified when it goes live (early June), either check back here or go to hackthemesh.com and sign up for the mailing list.
I just finished a fun drawing for a sketch jam in the Comic Creator's Group - here's Jayne from Firefly.
If you haven't seen this show, stop everything you're doing and go watch it right now. If you want to contine our little chats like this it is a requirement that you know about Firely. It's streaming on Netflix. You should know about Big Trouble In Little China too. Now go. I'm doing this for your own good.
C2E2 - Chicago's awesome comic con - is coming up this weekend. The kind folks from Chicago Loot Drop are once again doing the Drawing Dreams event for the convention:
We've partnered with five talented local artists to bring to life the creative visions of five very special patients from Comer Children's Hospital for the second edition of Drawing Dreams. We've asked these five children to describe themselves as a superhero. What sort of power(s) would they have? What would they do with those powers? What would their superhero name be? We took their responses to our five artists, who are creating a few panels depicting what a comic book based on the children's' ideas could look like.
The originals will be raffled and/or auctioned off with all proceeds going to Comer Children's Hospital. Then the kids recieve a framed, color print of the art.
I'm honored to be one of those 5 local artists this year, and humbled to be included in such a talented list with Tim Seely, Heidi Foland, Jim Terry and Rich Kunz.
I make comics because I love doing it. It isn't my day job, and the ammount money I make from it has a lot in common with the number of alien tentacles I have. That means it's usually an act of pure self-gratificaiton mixed, of course, with the sharp self-criticism most of us artists have in abundance. So it isn't often that this selfish act can be done in the service of something better. When that happens, it's better than the shard rejoining the Dark Crystal, or that super potion Jack Burton drank before kicking Lo Pan's ass. It's pretty damn cool, and I'm happy as hell that I was able to do it.
Here's a little taste of my Drawing Dreams page this year for "Super Ty" :
p.s. - I'll be at C2E2 this Saturday along with the amazing Kate, and the Universal Geek crew. See you thre.

TL;DR : This thing you're looking at was just redesigned.
When creating things, I'm rarely happy with the end result for very long. That's not to say that I wholly dislike what I create, but like most designers I always see room for improvement. In ancient times (you know, about 1990 and earlier) when print was all we really had, design had a definitive "done" point. We designed our piece and then sent it to the printer, at which point it was effectivly cast in bronze and frozen for all eternity. If there was a mistake and it went to press, we then had to decide if that mistake was agregious enough to warrant the cost and time of reprinting. If it was anyting less than terrible we usually had to live with it. There was no opportunity to tweak a heading color or make that cover photo just a little larger without reprinting the whole thing at considerable cost. Sometimes we did it anyway. It isn't fun having that horrible realization that the freshly printed stack in your hands is nothing more than very expensive scrap paper. I once created a playhouse for my cat out of a failed run of business cards. The cat was happy, but I felt a sharp pain in my side each time another card was glued to the roof.
Now that we live in the future with our electric cars and interwebs, we have the luxury of designing for a liquid, living medium. Deploying a digital design rarely means it is actually done. We don't go to press anymore, we just complete one more revision cycle. A double-edged sword, of course. It's wonderful and exciting to be able to make changes, but that also means it is much harder to decide when we're finished. We like to fuss over the details, because design is all about the details. So this ability to make subtle changes whenever we (or our clients) please is both amazing and awful.
I wrote all of that just to say I redesigned my site. I've made a lot of improvements, but it isn't "done." There are more details to sweat, and more things I want to change each time the page refreshes. Welcome to the 2014 version of my public design neurosis.
This week the Comic Creators Minigroup sketch jam topic was Ghostbusters, in honor of the late, great Harold Ramis. Here's my entry.
The other night I had the pleasure of joining Sean McLean and Jared Jaworski for their Doodle Dorks challenge. Two words were selected at random, and we live-drew our comics together over Google+ Hangouts. The words were "snakes" and "flatulence." Here's what I came up with.

Quote of the Day (So Far!)
George F. Will on the welfare state.
10:59 AM, Apr 27, 2010 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
These are great days for George Will fans. His classic baseball book, Men at Work, has been reissued. (Will's friend and colleague Charles Krauthammer mentioned Men at Work in his own baseball column last week.) Will's speech at CPAC was the best of the conference. His columns are as good as ever; Sunday's piece, on a Japanese American who fought for his country even as his family lived in internment camps, contained several great passages, such as this:
Best of all, subscribers to a National Review newsletter, "NR Originals," recently received a classic Will essay in their inboxes. Titled "The Welfare State: Boob Bait for McGovernites," the piece is more than 35 years old, yet it holds up extremely well. Here's the lead:
And here's Will on the welfare state:

New rule for cashing in small pension pots
Usually in order to cash in pension benefits, the value of all your pension pots added together (not including your State pension) must be less than £18,000. However, this means that if you have a larger pension, you may be left with another small benefit - a 'stranded pot' - which is too small to use to buy a pension.
In 2009, a new rule was introduced so that people with stranded pots from occupational schemes or public sector schemes with a value of less than £2,000 could cash them in.
From 6 April 2012, you may also be able to exchange your pension benefits for cash if you have a non-occupational or non-public sector pension such as a personal pension, SIPP, section 32 buyout, stakeholder plan of section 226 contract (retirement annuity contract).
The new rules allow you to cash in non-occupational pensions to be cashed in as a stranded pot, if you have other, larger pensions.
The rules are:
- You must have reached the age of 60;
- The payment does not exceed £2,000;
- It extinguishes all your rights under the arrangement; and
- You have not previously received more than one payment under one of these types of schemes. This excludes any separate 'stranded payments' commutation under an occupational or public sector scheme.

New York hospitals continue to reduce rates of infections
ALBANY – The number of infections acquired by patients while in New York hospitals continues to decline, according to a report issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH).
The sixth-annual report on hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which includes rates of infections for individual hospitals, found that since 2007 the rate of central-line associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) has fallen 53 percent and rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) for selected procedures fell by 16 percent.
Since 2010, the rate of Clostridium difficile(C. difficile) infections rose by 14 percent among the 89 hospitals that switched to a more sensitive laboratory test capable of detecting more cases, but fell by 15 percent among the 88 hospitals which used the same type of test throughout the reporting period.
"Patients deserve the peace-of-mind of knowing the hospital they receive treatment from utilizes best practices to protect their safety," said State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, M.D., M.P.H. "Preventing hospital-acquired infections is a key component of patient safety, and we will continue to proactively work with hospitals to reduce the number of these infections."
The report presents 2012 hospital-acquired infection rates identified by hospitals for surgical site infections related to colon, cardiac bypass, hip replacement/revision surgeries, and hysterectomies performed through an abdominal incision; CLABSIs in adult, pediatric, and neonatal intensive care units; and C. difficile infections identified on admission, during hospital visits, and on readmission within four weeks after discharge from the same hospital.
The report also provides individual hospitals' infection rates in 2011 for comparison. DOH conducts intensive audits to ensure complete and accurate reporting of all HAIs required to be reported.

Players from both teams continued to chase down the loose ball over the ensuing several seconds before the referee's whistle sounded and the linesman signaled that the ball, while in flight, had crossed the plane of the goal line. Prout was credited with the goal — the game-winner in the Buccaneers' 2-1 victory over the visiting Trojans in the season-opener for both teams.
Grand Haven coach Cor Damhuis liked the way his team responded after a back-and-forth first half.
"We started to pass to feet, to find each other," Damhuis said. "We started to communicate. It was a good first game. It's a good start."
Fruitport played with a fierce wind at its back in the opening half and hoped to take advantage. Instead, Grand Haven struck first when Lindy Vallier put a shot past Trojans' goalie Lindsay Armstrong.
The Trojans answered when Bre Geile — who sat out the entire girls basketball season with a knee injury — knocked a shot past Bucs' goalie Faith Platz.
"We tried to take advantage (of the wind) in the first half, but they were able to sneak one in," said Jeannie McClain, who was coaching the Trojans' varsity team for the first time. She took over for David Hulings, who left to coach at Western Michigan Christian.

Incredibly nice material for the price. I do a lot of Renaissance fairs and medieval reenactment but most corsets are out of my price range. Make sure to get your proper measurements and check the charts and select based on waist size, as the sizes are not standard; most of my clothes are small but the large here fits perfectly everywhere except the bust (as a 32 A I am used to this.)Great product, would definitely buy again.

|Date Added: Thursday 21 August, 2014
The middle bar popped out of it's seem 15 min after putting it on. Not that tight either. The black one I still have but only used a few times as I'm afraid to break it. Bought another corset that was about 80$ I luv that one and use it a lot ! I can cinch that one tight and it works wonders while the cheap one I couldn't; plus it made my 36 D's flat ! From now on I'll spend a bit more for a corset but know it's made better and will last years. You get what you pay for.

The Star Eagle Adventures V: Shadows in the Haze

Location: Sol III, within the universe of United Trek
Re: The Star Eagle Adventures V: Shadows in the Haze
Great read, so far. And always a pleasure to see Captain Donners again.
I don't usually like ST teasers that begin with holodeck type scenarios, but in this case the play was so well depicted I didn't mind. And it does make sense, given the unending horror of war.
You've done a good job of setting the stage with an important mission, tension between Donners and Owens and a larger than life visitor to the ship.
I have my own ideas about who the victim will turn out to be, but I'll keep that under my hat. Can't wait to see how murder most foul will be handled by Owens and his crew.
Keep it up.

Document Number: 10766Linking Education and Economic Development: A Very Local, Very Rural Vignette PDF - McDowell County in West Virginia was once considered a wasteland. Now, it may become a beacon for other rural communities in dire straits thanks in part to Reconnecting McDowell. This paper, the first in a series examining rural education issues, examines the comprehensive, long-term effort to make educational improvement in McDowell County the route to a brighter economic future. Partners from business, foundations, government, nonprofit agencies and labor have committed to seek solutions to McDowell�s complex problems�poverty, underperforming schools, drug and alcohol abuse, housing shortages, limited medical services, and inadequate access to technology and transportation.

« Ludlow Got Some Concessions in JibJab Case |
| Hatch's Hit List #35 - Email Forward Function »
Posted by Ernest Miller
There has been a great deal of discussion about the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act's (IICA, née INDUCE Act) effects on domestic innovation and even the fact that investment will likely move overseas in the face of the INDUCE Act (Go Ahead with the INDUCE Act - A View from Overseas). However, one likely effect of the INDUCE Act has been mostly overlooked: the fact that many researchers and scientists may refrain from visiting these shores in order to avoid INDUCE Act lawsuits.
Imagine that you are a scientist or researcher in some foreign country. Your research deals with computer science, which means that you write programs that frequently copy things. Heck, you might even be directly involved in figuring out more efficient protocols for distributing content, like peer-to-peer filesharing programs. What you are doing is perfectly legal in your country, indeed, they even encourage such research with grants and the like. However, Hollywood is not nearly as happy with you and would love to sue you for your research under the INDUCE Act.
But, what can Hollywood do? What you're doing is perfectly legal in your own country. They can't sue you there. Simply publishing research on the internet will probably not be sufficient "contact" to haul you into a US court, and, as long as you stay home, how are they going to serve you with process?
Then, you get an invitation from colleagues to visit the United States and present your "inducing" research at a conference. What do you do? What do you do?
Well, one thing is, you might turn down the invitation. The reason is that you don't want to be served with process as soon as you pass through customs and be subjected to an INDUCE Act lawsuit. It is quite possible that presenting your research (and distributing proof-of-concept programs) at a conference in the US will be sufficient jurisdiction for a case to be brought. You could blow off the case (leading to a default judgement) or defend it (but that will quickly grow very expensive, especially for someone on an academic's salary).
If a judgement is entered against you, it will probably include both monetary damages and an injunction. Enforcing the judgement will require a foreign court to agree. That may not happen because what you are doing is legal at home, but a foreign court might enforce the judgement; you can't be certain it won't. In any case, you will have to spend money to defend yourself at home, which can be very expensive.
Even if the foreign court doesn't enforce the decision, you may still have an injunction against distributing your proof-of-concept program in the US. So, the next time you visit the US to discuss your research with colleagues, you might be paid a little visit by Federal Marshalls, who will seek to enforce the injunction, violation of which is a criminal offense. Unlikely, but possible.
So, as a foreign researcher in fields Hollywood doesn't like, will you visit the US to discuss your research?
We've seen this sort of chilling effect before with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, where foreign researchers and developers have gotten in trouble on visits to the US, such as Dmitry Sklyarov. While Skylarov's case was a criminal one, the possibilities of being the target of a civil suit will also be a significant disincentive to visiting for many.
Nor has Hollywood shown itself particularly wary of threatening researchers for presenting at conferences. Ask Ed Felten about the SDMI threat letters.
If the INDUCE Act passes, I can imagine that many foreign scientists will become quite wary of visiting the US to share the fruits of their research. Thanks, Sen. Hatch!
A final note. I would just like to thank James Grimmelmann for maintaining (on LawMeme) an index of my postings on the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act (IICA, née INDUCE Act). According to the index, this is the 100th posting (The LawMeme Reader's Guide to Ernie Miller's Guide to the INDUCE Act). Wow, that is a lot of postings on a single topic in such a short period of time.

Manfred Lehnert, who hails from Germany, joined Auroville in 1993 and is working on a variety of research and development projects. Manfred has a Physical Engineering Diploma from Germany topped with decades of practical experience in the design of engine components and other engineering projects, cryogenics (working with liquid helium), vacuum technology, silencers for cars and motorbikes, reactors/catalysers for cars, water heating systems, welding and soldering techniques and anti-corrosion systems.
In Auroville, Manfred is presently working on the following four projects:
(1) Solar sea water desalination
Today Auroville's potable water sources are becoming increasingly polluted by industrial waste and untreated sewage, and in the coastal zones by intrusion of sea water. Manfred's research aims at obtaining drinking water from polluted or saline water by solar distillation. The use of two inexhaustible sources of water and energy - the sea and the sun - is well known, and has been applied since 150 years in, for instance, Chile. The design is simple: a glass house covering a basin with sea water. The sun heats up the water, which then evaporates and condenses against the inside of the cooler glass roof, finally trickling into a distiller catchment
As of today, three prototypes have been installed in the Petite Ferme settlement, occupying altogether 6 sqm. The first results are encouraging. Every square metre can give 3-5 litres distilled water daily, which can be used for batteries and his soap production (see below). The beach area would be ideal for installing a bigger solar sea water desalination plant, involving an area of 100sqm, 200sqm or even 500sqm. For example, 100 sqm could yield 150,000 litres distilled water annually. But before building such a big plant further research is necessary.
(2) Biodegradable soaps & cleaners
Manfred's biodegradable liquid and solid soaps and
cleaners are made from plant oils such as palm, coconut or pongam oil
and natural essences, and can replace the harmful chemical washing powders
generally available on the market. These natural soaps have the same
cleaning result, and keep our environment healthy. They contain no synthetic
detergents, bleaching powder, enzymes or other chemicals. The living
organisms existing in our waste water treatment plants will not be disturbed
by their use.
(3) Plant oil as a substitute for harmful diesel oil
Manfred has been experimenting with cultivation of the Kurinjee tree, whose pods give kuringee oil, which on filtration and viscosity reduction can directly substitute for diesel in diesel engines. Some of these experiments have been conducted in Dual Fuel engines run on biogas/producer gas by Dr.U.Srinivasa of SUTRA project at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, with whom Manfred is in regular contact. Experiments in such substitutes and blending have been going on throughout the world since the 1940s, but are only now finally drawing serious attention.
His project aims at promoting the production and application of a renewable bio-degradable plant oil from the indigenous 'Pongamia pinnata' tree to replace the harmful, non-renewable fossil diesel oil at a reasonable cost. Use of this alternative could reduce CO2-emission (responsible for global warming) and air pollution (it contains no sulfur and creates no particles such as soot). This plant oil is bio-degradable, and therefore presents no danger to soil or water through leakages during transport, storage, etc. It can also become a substitute for chemical fertilisers when using the oil-cake as an organic fertiliser. The sale of these oil cakes can help to reduce the oil price.
It is a renewable source of energy which can be used without sophisticated technical preparation, and can be locally grown on wasteland, along roads and as fencing. It needs little financial input, makes use of the local oil processing capacities, and finally can generate employment for the rural population. Moreover, it could provide an eventual solution for the expected exhaustion of mineral oil at some point in the future.
The project would include the planting and cultivating of the oil bearing trees in Auroville, as well as the oil processing and distribution of the bio-fuel within the township and its environs. Additionally, the monitoring of the concerned engines and possibly the measuring of the exhaust gases would be undertaken.
4) Low cost light roofing components
The aim is to develop lightweight, low cost 'fibre reinforced concrete' (FRC) roofing tiles as an alternative to asbestos products. Manfred, who works on this with his partner Dorothee, gives the following advantages for this material:
The first samples, 45 x 45 cm roofing tiles, are encouraging.

Order of Operations
The information below explains PEMDAS: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction
When you have a math problem that involves more than one operation—for example, addition and subtraction, or subtraction and multiplication—which do you do first?
Example #1: 6 – 3 x 2 = ?
In cases like these, we follow the order of operations. The order in which operations should be done is abbreviated as PEMDAS:
(One way to memorize this is to think of the phrase Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.)
Example #2: 30 ÷ 5 x 2 + 1 = ?
Note that if we'd done the multiplication before the division, we'd have ended up with the wrong answer:
One last example for advanced students, using all six operations:
Example #3: 5 + (4 – 2)2 x 3 ÷ 6 – 1 = ?
(For more practice, try our Operation Order game!)

Like i said and as the picture i sent. There was most def. not 5,000 fans. That whole side of the arena was empty. I will say they did have people either move to that side or gave away free tickets cause towards the end of the first taping, there was some people over there by then. But def. NOT 5,000 fans.

I thought so too. The funny thing is, I can automate it using ifconfig as a command from the interfaces file.
Here is my last post from the ubuntu forums:
So, I have finally got everything working as it should. Here is a brief HOWTO:
Create a bridge using your primary address and assign an alias to one of your secondary addresses. This is my resulting /etc/network/interfaces file:
If you notice, this is a strange way of editing the interfaces file. If I defined the alias br0:0 as a separate entry, networking would simply not work.Code:# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 220.127.116.11 network 126.96.36.199 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 188.8.131.52 gateway 220.127.116.11 bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_maxwait 5 post-up ifconfig br0 up promisc post-up ifconfig br0:0 18.104.22.168 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 188.8.131.52
Setup libvirt / KVM and build your server using vmbuilder.
See the Server Guide for instructions:
In my case, I passed the following networking flags to vmbuilder:
I set the default gateway to the virtual machine's eth0 IP address, as it wouldn't be able to see the gateway provided by the datacenter otherwise.Code:--ip=22.214.171.124 --gw=18.104.22.168 --mask=255.255.255.248
Then, edit your virtual machine using virsh edit MachineName
Look for the line
and replace 127.0.0.1 with your primary IP.Code:<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
Use xvncviewer to connect to the virtual machine:
Then I added the following line to the VM's /etc/network/interfaces file:Code:xvncviewer 126.96.36.199
And voila! All my troubles have gone away.Code:post-up route add default gw 220.127.116.11
Install SSHd, edit the XML file back to 127.0.0.1 (why have an unencrypted VNC session when SSH is faster and safer?) and carry on with your work.
It may not be a pretty solution, but it's the only one that worked for me and this problem drove me up the wall for a long time.

This most needed and minimally glamorous task is one that Christine Miller and Gary Glaser have done on behalf of San Francisco Opera for more than 30 years. They have picked up countless artists from San Francisco International Airport over the years, and it is one of the many reasons why they are the recipients of the 2013 Spirit of the Opera Award, the highest honor the Opera bestows upon members of our community.
When I found out I was going to be the assistant conductor for Moby-Dick, I knew it meant that I was going to have to read the book. My attitude about that prospect was probably very much like yours. Sigh. But the choice was unflinching: Either I'm going to read Moby-Dick now, when I have every possible motivation and sufficient time, or I'm just never going to read it. Short of actually going on an extreme whaling vacation, I couldn't think of a more obvious circumstance to do something that I've long said I wanted to do. I'm happy I read it, and it made me feel more prepared, but it was unnecessary. Heggie's Moby-Dick does not need a primer to appreciate it, to explain it or even to fill in the blanks, it stands on its own as a thrilling and genuinely dramatic modern opera. But let's back up.

Left - commercial crumpets, center - less water and English Muffin texture, right - more water (and holes) but flatter
Here it is. The best of the bunch. Lots of holes, but the holes do not go through to the outside. (Too bad.)
After five batches, I'm still trying to produce the perfect crumpet. This one is very close. The crumpet toasts up crunchy with a creamy center that is yeasty and slightly sour. If you want to get the blow-by blow and understand the trade-offs, just keep reading. If you just want to get to the good stuff and make the crumpets, skip the text in blue.
All of this started when we attended our daughter's wedding in England: I enjoyed how easy it was to find store-bought, GF crumpets. Admittedly, the nutritional profile of the UK GF breads does not meet my definition of ideal (cornstarch is the major ingredient along with other refined starches - see label below), but these breads taste good. GF crumpets aren't readily available in the wilds of the San Francisco Bay Area. So, I decided to try my hand at it. Although it wasn't quite as easy as I originally thought, in terms of overall complexity, baking crumpets is way easier than normal yeast bread - fewer ingredients, shorter rising time and the crumpets cook in just a few minutes - about 8 to be more exact.
Step 1: consult the internet to see what others have done. It seemed like the most authentic implementations should come from the UK, Australia and New Zealand. There were three recipes from the BBC alone. The result of my research is that crumpets are a state of mind - lots of different recipes based on wheat flour. A minority of the crumpet recipes have both butter and egg, but always milk and water. Steps 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 - keep trying. My first two attempts were total wash-outs - down the garbage disposal. The second two attempts were better and at least somewhat edible. They didn't go down the chute. The fifth attempt is a good jumping off point for further enhancement; however, it is good as it is.
It appears that crumpets are a thick, lean (no eggs and very little oil), milk-and-water-based pancake that are yeast flavoured (yep, not a typo). You can ferment the dough from 20 minutes to three hours according to a survey of the various recipes. I tried the three hour fermentation, and it was way too sour for my taste. Twenty minutes to one hour are pretty good. I actually prefer the taste of a 20 minute fermentation. The trick to the crumpets for me was (1) not too much xanthan or guar gum, and (2) plenty of baking powder for bubbles and leavening.
One article said that the thickness of the batter determined whether the result was an English Muffin or a crumpet. That was an interesting clue. I computed the ratio of liquid to flour and found that the ratio ranged from 1.75:1 for the wettest down to as low as 1:1 for the driest across the various recipes. The two results above are for 1:1 liquid to flour (middle column) and 1.4:1 (right hand column). The crumpets in the middle have a wonderful taste and bready texture, but no large bubble holes. The crumpets on the right have some holes, but the texture is wet and somewhat waterlogged. Still in all, when the waterlogged crumpets are toasted, they are pleasantly crunchy and chewy like a good crumpet should be. The wet crumpet batter was the consistency of thin pancake batter. The optimal crumpet had the batter of a perfect pancake.
Flour is also a factor. One of my earlier trials used a bean-based flour with long fermentation, and I found the taste quite unpleasant. The flour used for the crumpets above was the mild but flavorful mix used for rolled pizza. I actually suspect that the best texture would come from a cornstarch-white rice-tapioca starch mix; however, I'm not crazy about the nutritional profile. I have a bag of "UK GF white flour" (lots of refined starch), and I'll try that next.
Leavening is pretty straight forward but quite different from normal yeast bread. Once the dough is leavened, it is stirred down and cooked in muffin rings in a skillet. In general, this makes the dough taste yeasty and somewhat sour, but the yeast has a more limited influence in making the bread rise. In recipes surveyed and in the most basic case, no additional rising agents are used. The GF crumpets from the UK use both yeast and what amounts to an acid-baking soda (something quite akin to baking powder) mix. However, two recipes from the BBC either use baking soda alone and rely on the lactic acid created as a byproduct from the yeast or the addition of tartaric acid and baking soda which by all measures is baking powder.
Batter thinness is also a key factor. The highly thinned-out version created lots of bubbles, but these bubbles mostly closed upon cooking. The final crumpet did not gain height, and this version produced lots of thin crumpets. The very thick dough did not bubble at all; however, it rose quite tall and increasing in height by almost 50%.
Special equipment: You really need muffin rings to make crumpets (and English muffins). We bought our muffin rings at the local Sur la Table store for about $5.00 for four rings. King Arthur Flour sells about the same rings at a much higher price. They are reasonably priced at Amazon and Cooking.Com. Fox Run muffin rings are also available in Canada.
Our recipe used non-fat dried milk in all of its tests. Alternatively, you could use a combination of fluid milk and water instead.
|Amount and measure
|2-1/2 teaspoons or 1 package
|Instant yeast. Our favorite is SAF
|1 teaspoon
|10 fluid ounces*
|Water - 110° F (Alternatively, you can use 2 ounces of water and 8 ounces of fluid, fat-reduced milk. This is a bit richer in milk than some recipes.)
|2 Cups (8 ounces)
|Mild gluten free flour blend We used this.
|3/4 teaspoon
|Xanthan or guar gum
|1/2 teaspoon
|Cream of tartar
|1/4 Cup
|Instant non-fat dry milk. (Skip this ingredient if you are using fluid milk only.)
|1/2 teaspoon
|Baking soda
|2 teaspoons
|Baking powder
|1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon
|Kosher salt
|Olive oil spray for the pan
|Margarine for greasing the crumpet tins
* If you want to make a bread more the texture of an English Muffin, reduce the water to 8 fluid ounces. English Muffins are almost always baked on cornmeal instead of directly against the bottom of the skillet. You'll want to put cornmeal on the top of the batter as well. Cook at a lower temperature for a longer time. You don't want the cornmeal to burn.
Flip with a spatula and bake the uncooked side.
