Check out the interior of any national chain store in your neighborhood (a grocery store, pharmacy, clothing store, restaurant, etc.). On average, retail businesses remodel their facilities every 4-7 years, and with good reason. There's something about "new": new additives to toothpaste, new vitamin potency in cereal, new models of cars, new versions of software. "New" attracts. By contrast, most churches renovate their facilities every 25-40 years, and some go even longer without an extreme home make-over.
If your church building is over 15 years old, it is probably a growth-restricting obstacle.
When it comes to church visitors, you don't have a second chance for a good first impression. And one of the first impressions visitors have of your church is its building; first the outside, then the inside. Visitors don't need to be professional architects to sense that the ceiling is too low, the halls too narrow, the windows outdated, or the color schemes from a different generation. As Marshall McLuhan once said, "the medium is the message." And your building is your medium.
The design and architecture of your church has a much bigger influence on your visitors than it does on your regular attendees. Why? The longer a person is at your church, the less he or she is able to see the building through the eyes of a newcomer. Members don't notice the rain marks in the ceiling, the chipped paint on the wall, the hole in the carpet. And those things don't really matter to long-time attendees, because they are coming for the people, the relationships, the fellowship, the spiritual growth; not the facilities. But for visitors with none of these reasons to attend, other things shape their first impressions…and your building is one of them.
Facilities also have an effect on a church's corporate self-esteem. The effect is similar to the way your house or apartment subtly influences your own self-esteem. If you live with junk in the backyard, unwashed dishes in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor, rooms in need of paint…it affects how you think of yourself, whether you realize it or not. And, with such an appearance, do you want company dropping in unannounced? Probably not. When you are expecting guests you probably pick up your clothes, clean the kitchen, and put on your house's best face. Why not have the same attitude about your church facility and the guests who are coming to visit God's house?
While nice facilities won't cause your church to grow, poor facilities can prevent it from growing.
What You Can Do About It
An outsider's perspective is quite valuable. Invite a friend or neighbor who has never been on your church campus to walk through the facility with you. The "visit" need not be on Sunday. First, drive by and around the church. Then park and walk toward, and eventually into, the building. Ask the person(s) to "free-flow" about their impressions, sharing what catches their attention, what they like, what they don't like, what they aren't sure about. Either take notes or use a recorder to document their comments. Tell them not to worry about hurt feelings—you want their honest first impressions.
Conduct this exercise at least three times with three different people. That way you don't end up putting too much stock into one person's opinions and taste. See if different people notice the same things. Finally, compile your notes into categories and review them. You don't need to make every suggested change, but you do need to know how visitors and newcomers see your facilities.

Hi, we were planning on developing all new WP sites on our VPS using unique IP addresses so that all linking would remain relative to root when in development and when switching the domain to go live. So much less to change and less chance for errors with permalinks, plugins, etc. when testing and when going live.
Unfortunately, there is a shortage of IP addresses left and our host (Host Gator) won't give out new IPs without the need for an SSL certificate (which most of our sites will not need).
So every new site we create now will be located at 'http://shared.ip.add.ress/~cpanelaccount'.
- What is the best and most foolproof method for developing our sites now?
- How do we ensure that we can test all aspects, including permalinks, any plugins, any custom theme tweaks, etc. since the URL is not technically a root URL while in development?
- Are there .htaccess tweaks we need to make, or is it as simple as setting the proper site URL in WP admin, wp-config.php or the database?
THANKS! This through a huge wrench in our development strategy. Hoping it's not too complicated of a workaround.

Press Release
Synthonics to Present and Showcase at the 2016 BIO International Conference
Synthonics announced today that it has been selected by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to showcase its MCP Technology at the 2016 BIO International Conference June 6-9th in San Francisco, CA.
Welcome to Synthonics
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and licensing of drugs that incorporate our proprietary metal coordination chemistry. Metal coordination entails attaching a pharmaceutically acceptable metal, such as zinc, bismuth or magnesium, to a known pharmaceutical agent to create a new and more effective drug. The addition of the metal changes the way the drug is absorbed or delivered without altering the action of the underlying drug.
Metal coordination offers tremendous flexibility, allowing us to "dial in" the desired pharmacokinetics by varying the metals used and the manner in which they are attached. In its simplest application, metal coordination improves a drug's absorption and delivery without changing the way the drug works once delivered. Metal coordination can also be used to extend or control a drug's release or to prevent a drug's systemic absorption.
Unlike salts, metal coordinated pharmaceuticals are generally patentable as new compositions of matter under U.S. patent laws--even if the parent drug is already well known. We hold four U.S. patents and have dozens of additional claims pending.
Metal coordination is a platform technology with broad application that can be profitably applied both to already marketed drugs and to drugs under development. We have drug discovery and development programs underway on a handful of molecules. In addition, we partner with large pharmaceutical companies to enhance their pipeline and marketed products.

My company has moved to TFS 2010. We have a new Sharepoint server (Sharepoint 2010 with Enterprise Client Access License) for our new TFS Server.
But there are a lot of documents we would like to move from our old Sharepoint v3.0 server. We don't want to move all the documents, but we do want to move a lot of them.
I had heard that Explorer View can make this easy, but I tried this and it does not seem to work for our Sharepoint v3.0 server (even after I enabled and started the "WebClient" service on the server).
So, my question is this: Is there an easy way to move/copy large amounts of Documents (only documents) from a Sharepoint v3.0 site to Sharepoint 2010 site?

Ground Source Heat Pumps: Good Enough For Queen Elizabeth So Why Not For The Northeast?
by Ryan Matley, via Rocky Mountain Institute
George W. Bush, the Queen of England, Sir Elton John, and Sir Richard Branson probably don't have much in common, but they all have installed ground source heat pumps. And it's not just a technology for the rich and famous. Habitat for Humanity installed heat pumps in its Oklahoma City development, Hope Crossing, because the low operating costs would help future residents save on their utility bills.
Sixteen percent of America's 18.8 million barrel per day oil consumption is burned to heat our homes and businesses, and two-thirds of that demand is in the Northeast (New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania). Swapping out oil consumption for electric ground source heat pumps offers a low cost, low pollution heating source that can generate $20 billion in savings and is a crucial step to achieving RMI's Reinventing Fire vision in the Northeast.
The region spends over $14 billion every year on fuel oil—consisting of both distillate fuel oil, which is nearly identical to diesel fuel, and residual fuel oil, which is a heavy, viscous fuel also called "bunker fuel." That means the six million residential and 450,000 commercial customers who use oil spend an annual average of $1,700 and $8,900, respectively, to heat their homes and businesses.
Along with the economic drag from using this high-priced fuel, 43,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, 69,000 tons of sulfur oxides, and 57 million tons of CO2 are added to our atmosphere every year, negatively impacting our health, air, water, and climate.
If residents and business owners in the Northeast switch entirely from oil to heat pumps they could save a total of $5.5 billion per year in heating costs, which is more than the healthcare expenditures of the entire state of Vermont. Over the lifetime of a heat pump system, each resident in the state could save $3,000 (present value), and each business could save $50,000 (present value). Emissions of NOx, SOx and CO2 would be reduced by 81 percent, 66 percent, and 81 percent, respectively. Those CO2 emissions reductions alone are equivalent to taking 8.2 million cars off the road.
How Does it Work?
A heat pump exchanges heat to and from the surrounding earth into the conditioned space of abuilding. The technology is similar to a refrigerator (an electrically-driven vapor-compression refrigeration system) that can be operated in both directions to provide heating or cooling as conditions require.
Heat pumps are cheap to operate primarily because they are able to generate three to five units of heating or cooling for each unit of electricity consumed (a 300 percent to 500 percent efficiency gain, or a 3.0–5.0 coefficient of performance in industry-speak).
And, because heat pumps are powered by electricity, they offer not only near-term emissions reductions (since the Northeast grid already emits low greenhouse gases due to its reliance primarily on natural gas and nuclear energy) but offer a pathway to low or zero emissions heating through renewable generation.
Converting from oil to heat pumps amounts to a large economic opportunity for the region. If 50 percent of oil customers were to convert to heat pumps over the next 20 years, they would generate $37 billion in direct investment that flows directly to the contractors installing these systems, helping to support local jobs. The $20 billion in net savings that investment generates can improve the balance sheets of residents and businesses while also allowing for reinvestment that further spurs economic growth. The cost to operate those heat pumps will be spent on electricity rather than oil, keeping money in the local economy instead of exporting dollars overseas.
What About Natural Gas?
Natural gas is cheap today, but even if we ignore its history of volatile prices and assume it will be cheap into the future, natural gas is not widely available in much of the Northeast. And the economics of natural gas pipeline permitting and construction mean that it likely will never be available for the rural Northeast.
In addition, an expansion into natural gas will actually make it harder for the region to reach its 80 percent greenhouse gas reduction target by 2050. Natural gas emits 27 percent less CO2 than heating oil. Yet, due to the long life of natural gas infrastructure, any expansion means that we may shut the door to renewable heating options.
Vaulting the Barriers to Widespread Adoption
The installation of ground source heat pumps is not yet widespread because there are a number of barriers that stand in the way: high upfront costs, long payback periods, lack of understanding of the technology, perceived uncertainty in performance, inexperienced designers, and a thin contractor base.
Of these barriers, high upfront costs and long payback times are the most pressing issues. The average residential system pays back its investment in 11 years, while the average commercial system pays back in 6.5 years. That leaves ample opportunity for savings over the 20-year (or more) life of the system, but most home or business owners do not know if they will be in the same building or even own their business six to 11 years from now.
There is a set of public and private financing tools well suited to address this barrier. Utilities can offer on-bill financing; pooling customers to get preferential interest rates while using customer's payment history to reduce credit risk. The Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Coop already provides a similar solution by offering a 30-year, zero percent financing, ground loop lease program. Cities and states can offer property-tax financing vehicles (similar to PACE bonds). Beyond providing access to low municipal financing rates, this structure ties the repayment of the loan to the building and not the occupant. The market can be opened to third-party ownership where an independent company owns the heat pump system and leases the heating or cooling output.
States may need to change regulations that stand in the way, such as requiring those third parties to be treated as utilities, but many have already taken this step to open the market to solar photovoltaic third-party ownership structures. Finally, states can allow for utility ownership of the ground loops. Since those assets often have a 40 to 50 year lifetime, utilities could invest in the system and sell the heating and cooling services to home and business owners no matter who occupies the building. States should adopt policies to unlock financing solutions and help jump-start the heat pump market. Heat pump systems are eligible for a 30 percent federal investment tax credit through 2016, so first mover states stand to benefit even more.
There is precedent for this type of transition. Sweden has moved from being entirely dependent on oil heating in 1970 to using a mix of biomass, district heating, and ground source heat pumps today (with only a small amount of oil remaining). Heat pumps now make up 40 percent of their heating market, but this transition took Sweden 40 years.
Can it be done more quickly here in the Northeast? Probably, but the time to start is now and targeted interventions by states can help speed the process. The region must not keep burning oil for heat simply because it has always been done that way.
Inaction is a choice, but the better choice is to take concrete steps to support growth in heat pumps.

There are also air source ductless heat pumps. These don't have as high efficiency, as the sink is outside air, rather than groundwater at near average annual temperature. But the capital cost is much lower, and they can be added incrementally to take over partial heating needs. The efficency of air source heat pumps does go down with lower outside air temps, so in the colder regions, a backup heat source for use on the coldest days is advisable.
The Queen also has a hydro scheme on the Thames which provides electricity to Windsor Castle:
I think this was pushed by Prince Charles
GSHPs provide a number of benefits in addition to energy savings. For example, maintenance costs for GSHP systems are on average about 50% lower than those for conventional systems. Also, when a commercial cooling tower-based cooling system is replaced with a GSHP system, potentially millions of gallons of water are saved. These are just two examples.
The design, engineering and installation skills necessary to create a high performance and sustainable geothermal systems are in short supply. Engineering and HVAC schools in the NE (and everywhere) should integrate GSHP systems into their curriculum so that the next generation of decision makers, designers and insatllers doesn't think "I didn't learn about these in school. They must not be very good."
Read 'Reinventing Fire' cover to cover. But:
My payback period for a ground source unit would now be about 50 years (explained below).
1) I would, instead, love to hear more about how how big improvements in home/business insulation/infiltration could be applied to large numbers of structures. This would not require concomitant trashing of millions of existing heat/cooling units but would allow subsequent replacements to be sized significantly smaller.
Heating and cooling bills in our house are now 1/3 of what we paid the first two years – even though we now use the large attic space for wife's studio daily. Our 1920, balloon construction had no wind proofing, much less insulation. Foam in walls and attic rafters plus much caulking did the most. A more efficient gas furnace and A/C helped. Highest A/C bill was $73 this year and we're near Wash. DC and keep thermostat at 78 deg to 80. We also went from two A/C's and two furnaces to one each and A/C is only 2-ton. Finally, house is much quieter and drafts are gone.
2) New air source heat pumps are coming on the market offering heat pump efficiencies as low as 0 deg F.
3) Not only is ground source expensive, there are many homes/apt/buildings for which it cannot be used.
Some ground source heat pump issues.
In more temperate climates air source are very efficient.
One home magazine some years ago reported on ground source which used a 3 foot diameter drilled hole maybe 20 foot deep, into which a unit was installed. Anything new on this?
Through design, ducting, or split systems houses really should be heated to various temperatures. Entries, bedrooms, sunroom, etc. kept at lower temperatures, central living space, old peoples rooms warmer.
Kudos to Ryan Matley and RMI for referring to ground-source heat pump technology appropriately, so as to help build broad public understanding.
Thank you for this article, Ryan. It's always bothered me that heat pumps are powered by electricity, often coal-generated at that. In fact, several people I know have abandoned plans to convert their homes to geo-thermal heat pumps because of the increase in electricity use (which is coal-fired locally) vs staying with Natural Gas.
So Ryan, tell me if it's possible to power the heat pump with a green alternative. Perhaps a Sterling engine driven by the underground heat source itself? Is that feasible, or else what other options are available?
Thanks again for the excellent article.
What about solar air heating? Most of what I have seen has been home built.
The temperature differential won't be anywhere close enough to get good output from a heat engine. Even if the differential was high, the size of the stirling engine needed would be immense.
I was going to be blithe about not switching to geothermal, but this wikipedia link shows that electricity generation in the US is so bad that it is worse to switch from NG. That said, have those people also calculated the reduction in electricity they'd use over the summer due?
Are you comparing the difference between costs of air source to ground source and then factoring in the saved energy to create your 50 year payback?
I personally wouldn't think that ground source would be that much of an improvement in your location, so I guess that makes sense.
When city sewer systems are separated (so the sewage half does not overflow into the storm half during big precip events), they tear up streets and excavate to the gates of Hades, or so it seemed in my town.
Why not take advantage of all that dirt work to also lay geothermal heat pump lines for nearby structures at the same time?
I've been reinventing solar air heat.
Active solar air has been tried, and it had several major problems in the 1970s.
1. Moisture from houses (steam from dishwater, from showers, even evaporating sweat from people) was blown into cold rockbed heat storage boxes in summer. The moisture grew mold, and then house air became unhealthy to people. Solution: keep the moisture out.
2. One or more tons of granite rock can give off radon gas, which can build up inside a sealed house in winter. Solution: don't bring that particular contaminated air inside.
3. This is a theoretical argument against air vs. water. By volume, air is about 1/500th as efficient at moving heat as is water. I say theoretical because I use extremely short air ducts and so the ducts aren't a major expense.
4. One installation saved $300 worth of oil a month, but spent $300 in electricity each month forcing the heated air through the rockbed. This problem can be fixed too.
Benefits: air is maintenance-free.
Presumably that's the main reason air source heat pumps haven't been that popular in cold regions, because historically they haven't paid for themselves in any reasonable amount of time. Wonder how much that has changed in recent years with air source. Here in the PNW, they've been adopted much more quickly as power rates have risen, because of generally mild temperatures.
If the effective efficiency of GS systems is 300-500%, then presumably it would make sense over gas in several regions that have less than the 'national average' of electric emissions intensity. That is, assuming the up-front costs are manageable/the financing is there.
Regarding C02 emissions from a ground source system vs a natural gas boiler:
1) When one thinks about a geo system, one must think about heating and cooling. It is inappropriate to compare GSHP system emissions to those from a furnace because it is an apples to oranges comparison. A furnace is only heat. A geosystem is heating and cooling. To do an analysis (C02 or otherwise), one must look at for example a geo system vs a furnace/air conditioner combo.
2) In addition, one has to understand the heating and cooling needs for a particular project. The heating and cooling loads as well as the balance between the two are critical in determining installation costs, performance, operational costs and emissions. Note that nearly all commercial systems are cooling dominated systems. Therefore, since geo and conventional cooling all are using electricity (and geo will generally provide a higher performance) for cooling, in most commercial projects, regardless of the energy mix, well designed geo systems should pretty much always result in reduced C02 emissions.
3) In general, even heating dominated geothermal systems will result in reduced emissions. To perform the calculation, one needs to know the total predicted energy consumption of the system, the efficiency of the system and the C02 emissions factors (lbs of C02/kWh generated, lbs of C02/therm combusted, etc). The higher performance that geo systems provide (for example, an average COP of 3.8 va a 95% efficiency natural gas furnance) even with high electricity emissions factors almost always results in a net reduction in C02 emissions. Sometimes the savings can be pretty small but it is still there. And eventually when the grid is cleaned up, the C02 emissions from the geo system will just drop and drop and drop.
I teach engineers how to design geothermal systems and I always stress that one needs to spend time and treasure performing a somewhat detailed analysis to determine if geo will work for a particular project. Geo is simple conceptually but the lack of engineering knowhow about the details and the blanket statements made both in favor of and against geo result in problems for the industry, and ultimately the future for all of us.
First remember that GSHPs are heating and cooling systems. If a building has heating and cooling, one must compare the carbon footprint from the total system and not just the heating system. Since pretty much all cooling systems are electrically-driven, a high EER (energy efficiency ratio) geo system will produce quite
Even if the electricity has an emissions factor (lbs C02 emitted per kWh generated)
There are natural gas fired chillers available and I've seen references to reversible units which you could use for heating as well as cooling. These units use an absorption cycle rather than a mechanical compressor and have a lower efficiency than their electrical counterparts.
These things are really for niche applications, so If you want to use a setup like this for space heat you're going to be heading out into uncharted waters.

Elizabeth Fritsch collection at the National Museum
Welsh-born Elizabeth Fritsch has been one of the leading ceramicists in Britain since the 1970s.
An example of Elizabeth Fritsch's work. Image courtesy the artist and National Museum, Cardiff
This year she celebrates her 70th birthday, and to mark the occasion the National Museum in Cardiff is hosting an exhibition of her work that spans the whole of her career.
The exhibition, Dynamic Structures: Painted Vessels by Elizabeth Fritsch, shows a range of the artist's most significant early works through to recently made pieces, including objects that have never before been exhibited.
Fritsch has selected and arranged the works thematically herself. The pieces on display at the museum will reflect the subjects that have influenced her most, such as music, mathematics, geology, mythology, and the history of art.
Fritsch graduated from the Royal College of Art in the early 1970s where she worked under Hans Coper, having previously studied the piano and harp at the Royal Academy of Music. She established a workshop in London in 1985.
Her distinctive style is based on her own particular hand-building technique and a unique approach to colour and painting in three dimensions. Her flattened '2½-dimensional' forms, which create visual illusions and play with different optics, established her reputation as a unique artist.
Dynamic Structures: Painted Vessels by Elizabeth Fritsch runs at National Museum in Cardiff until 2 January 2011.
Let us know your thoughts on Elizabeth Fritsch's work if you visit the exhibition in the coming months.

If they are training for a ground battle. God be with our soldiers and the allies of Isarel(Sp?). I am not exactly a history buff, has there been a major ground battle with several forces involved there in recent history??? My best friend lives in Tel Aviv, I pray for her family and the families of the soldiers. I hope it doesnt happen. And I am one who believes we should never turn our back on Isareal- and I dont believe they would turn theirs on ours. They may not exactly like us,,but they are there for us.

As long as there are no bombs bursting in air or being dropped let them fly anywhere & anytime they plz...Its good to know our military is training to keep us all safe & free!! God Bless them & keep them safe....
United States
#23 Nov 19, 2012
Why in the hell are they flying fast and low over a heavily populated area?
How cool will you think it is when one has a minor glitch and crashes into a hillside full of houses and the jet fuel ignites them?!
Let them train over open unpopulated areas instead of showing their asses in town!
United States
#24 Nov 19, 2012
Flying over again. Makes me proud to be an American!
#25 Nov 19, 2012
I know they need to practice and work on the best ways to defend and stay safe themselves-but it does scare the bejesus out of me.
United States
#26 Nov 19, 2012
They have been doing this for years. They stay on their game to make you feel safe.
United States
#27 Nov 19, 2012
Well we live in Letcher Co. and they flew over late last Thursday night. We live on alone on a mountain top and, I'm not even joking, it rattled the panes in the windows. Scared the crap outta me. If they were training or practicing, then by all means, let them do what they need to do. But, after that earthquake here recently, I was convinced a tornado was coming to town. The sound was so crazy.
United States
#28 Nov 19, 2012
Went over again just a few minutes ago! Awesome!
#29 Nov 19, 2012
Yes. Several flying overall. Awesome!!
#30 Nov 19, 2012
America love it or leave it!!
#31 Nov 19, 2012
East KY is not heavily populated. They are flying over a relatively small population that provides a variety of terrain. We have small hills to high peaks. At night our small towns are not lighting up a large area like a metro city would. Let them guys and gals train. I have noticed they are coming out of the east and turning south just west of Hazard. Some times they will circle and come back for a second run about 10 minutes later. I am curious which base they are stationed out of or if they are coming from an air craft carrier off the coast. God bless them.
#32 Nov 20, 2012
How is that comment relevant to this conversation? Some of you people are so ignorant. It is no wonder why southeastern Kentucky people are thought of as some of the dumbest people on Earth.
#33 Nov 20, 2012
Y'all remember when they use to break the sound barrier? Talk about the windows rattling.
United States
#34 Nov 20, 2012
If you have any sense of patriotism the sound alone brings your pride to the surface. This could be a turning point in our country's history; a time when we as Americans should be standing up for what we believe in. United We Stand--Divided We Fall!
#35 Nov 20, 2012
let them fly over everyday and every night it is an awesome sight to see i saw them dog fight over our mine one day it was awesome a free air show
#36 Nov 20, 2012
Bryce never said anything about the sound of the jets. He was talking about someone saying "America love it or leave it!!", which seemed strange and out of place, considering that this thread is about jets flying over our heads, not Americans' patriotism or lack there of. Some people can get bent of of shape over anything.
#37 Nov 20, 2012
Some people can get bent *out of shape over anything.
United States
#38 Nov 20, 2012
Sorry if I seem bent out of shape! I just know what they stand for and what feelings they stir in me personally. If people can't speak their mind on here in a positive manner then maybe we hillbillies are as ignorant as Bryce says we are.
#39 Nov 20, 2012
you are one of them
#40 Nov 20, 2012
I have heard the jets flying over my house for the last 3 days. I think that things are going to get much worse in the Israel / Hamas conflict. I think that our leaders know that. Very sad. I'm praying for Israel and America.

I have the paid version - gives me access to all of their information resources, access to a great keyword research tool, forums etc.
A great plug-in. For a wordpress newbie, it fills in all the knowledge gaps that are missing, and I don't need to search for it. The info provided seems well-researched and top-notch - I'm impressed!
Kind of feels like I get someone to "hold my hand" through the whole process of setting up my WordPress site, someone to "hold my hand" through narrowing down my niche, someone to "hold my hand" and teach me so many of the things I want, and need, to know! Love it!
As for the free version, I think it's purpose is to give you a taste of the info provided in the free version - if you like what you see, then upgrade - I don't think you'll regret it. If it doesn't seem to be what you need, then don't bother with the upgrade - if you are already wildly successful with WordPress on your own, this isn't for you. But if you are a newbie I think you'll love it (paid version, that is!)

All Rise...
In case of nuclear war, Appellate Judge James A. Stewart wants to be in the bunker full of classic BBC radio.
The Charge
"That's not me at all. No wonder you don't recognize me."—The Doctor
Opening Statement
During the Cold War, neither Soviets nor Daleks laid waste to Britain with atom bombs. However, Wood Norton Hall, the facility that held the BBC's secret emergency bunker, did get pressed into use for an emergency. It seems that a strike forced the production of "Spearhead from Space," Jon Pertwee's (Carry On Cowboy) first Doctor Who, out of the studio and Wood Norton Hall made a handy location.
Commentaries and info text provide a lot of details on the impromptu location shooting and the BBC's plans to keep going—with a stash of taped radio shows—in case of nuclear war. No word on whether The Navy Lark, Jon Pertwee's pre-Doctor Who sitcom, was in the bunker, though. Nor, for that matter, do they mention whether there's a bunker today.
Everyone in the commentaries—Nicholas Courtney, Caroline John, producer Derrick Sherwin, and script editor Terrence Dicks—agrees that the emergency got Pertwee off to a good start. That's even taking into consideration the Autons got into the nuclear bunker, and maybe made off with The Navy Lark.
Anyway, Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space (Special Edition) finds the Doctor landing a job with UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Task Force, on the off chance you didn't know) after an unceremonious landing on Earth.
Facts of the Case
As the Doctor collapses in one rural field, something lands with a bang in another rural field. Meanwhile, Liz Shaw (Caroline John, Wish Me Luck) arrives at UNIT and meets Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney, French Fields) for the first time. The Doctor's taken to hospital, where they find he has two hearts. The Brigadier soon arrives to investigate the strange patient. Naturally, some Autons turn up to attempt a forced discharge and clumsily reveal their presence on Earth.
The Evidence
If you're familiar with Doctor Who history, you know that "Spearhead from Space" brought the Doctor into the world of colour television, to use the British spelling. As mentioned, "Spearhead" was all done on location. Terrence Dicks complains about some "limp plastic tentacles" at one point, but you'll hardly notice them. The Autons are villains who don't need too many spectacular effects; combine that with real locations and shooting with film rather than video, and everything looks really good. I rather think Robert Holmes was pulling viewers' legs at least a bit with wax dummies and store mannequins coming to life and wreaking havoc, but the story is moodier and scarier than "Terror of the Autons" in the following season.
You might not quite recognize "Spearhead" as Doctor Who, though. With spy-fi music, an Earth setting, and Jon Pertwee keeping the eccentricities to just a touch of comic relief, viewers might have thought they were watching one of the new ITC adventures, especially with stuff like the pointless kidnapping of The Doctor to force an action scene. Both the trivia track and commentaries make mention of other shows this serial evokes: Quatermass, The Avengers, and The X-Files. Pertwee's decision to keep his comic bits to a minimum, oft mentioned in commentaries, furthers the feeling that he's playing The Doctor as more of a general action hero than an ancient alien eccentric.
Even if it's not the typical space adventure, "Spearhead" brought in a lot of details about our hero, such as the two hearts, and a scene that got a reworking in Matt Smith's debut (which I won't spoil, but you can learn about from the trivia track).
Presented in standard definition 1.33:1 full frame, with a Dolby 2.0 Mono mix, and English SDH subtitles for the hard of hearing and those who need a little help with the British dialects.
In terms of bonus features on this "Special Edition" (beyond what I've already mentioned), we get two audio commentaries featuring anecdotes and reflections, taking more a conversational tone than some of the large group gatherings on other Doctor Who DVDs. Nicholas Courtney, chatting with Caroline John, speculates on what might have happened to the Brigadier's marriage. Derrick Sherwin and Terrence Dicks recall how "desperately nervous" Jon Pertwee was about playing a hero and look back at how many ex-actors they worked with behind-the-scenes at the BBC, including Doctor Who hands Peter Bryant and Barry Letts.
We also get a handful of featurettes. "Regeneration: From Black and White to Colour" looks at changes forced by the upgrade, including a colorized title sequence. "Down to Earth: Filming Spearhead from Space" features a vintage interview with Pertwee, who talks about the show's up-and-down ratings, and offers production details from the serial. Rounding out the package is a photo gallery, trailers from reruns of Doctor Who on BBC Two, and a tongue-in-cheek "UNIT Recruitment Film." I also found the Easter Egg: a vintage colour intro.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
The trivia track points out Jon Pertwee's tattoo in one scene. How come the other Doctors don't have a tattoo in the same place? If Steven Moffat is still looking into The Doctor's name, how about the story of the tattoo?
Closing Statement
This could be Jon Pertwee's best adventure and one that offers up a lot of details about the character for true Whovians. Fans of the new series should put Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space (Special Edition) on their shortlist.
The Verdict
Not Guilty. Put it the nuclear bunker.

Peppercorn Beef Tenderloin
This super-simple recipe covers beef tenderloin in a blend of cracked black, white and green peppercorns. Though it takes moments to prepare, since it's beef tenderloin it's perfect for a special occasion. Look for peppercorns in the bulk spice section so you can buy just what you need. The recipe will also work with black ones only.
- 2 tablespoons whole green peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 3 pounds trimmed beef tenderloin, preferably center-cut
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- Step 1
- Preheat a gas grill (with all burners lit) to 400°F or build a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium heat (about 400°F).
- Step 2
- Coarsely crack peppercorns with a small heavy skillet (or saucepan), in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder.
- Step 3
- Tie kitchen string around tenderloin in several places so the meat will hold its shape as it cooks. Rub with oil, sprinkle with salt and coat with the cracked peppercorns.
- Step 4
- If using a gas grill, turn off one burner (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill). If using a charcoal grill, move the coals to one side. Place the tenderloin on the unheated side of the grill rack. Close the lid and roast undisturbed for 20 minutes.
- Step 5
- Rotate the tenderloin 180 degrees, cover and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140°F (for medium-rare), 15 to 35 minutes more. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

ACC adopts 72-player limit for conference games
Published: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 12:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 12:17 p.m.
AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (AP) The Atlantic Coast Conference has voted to cap football travel squads for league games, a cost-cutting measure that should save schools thousands each year.
ACC athletic directors passed the proposal Wednesday at the conference's annual spring meetings. It goes into effect this fall.
Other Bowl Championship Series conferences have a 72-man limit on travel rosters. The ACC limited its title game teams to 72 players, but previously had no cap on the number of athletes who could travel and dress for league games.
The conference also awarded its baseball tournament to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for three years, beginning in 2011. Myrtle Beach beat out Jacksonville, Greensboro, N.C., Greenville, N.C., and Winston-Salem, N.C. The tournament will be played at BB&T Coastal Stadium, the Carolina League home of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, an Atlanta Braves farm team.
Jacksonville hosted the tournament from 2006 to 2008. It will be played in Durham, N.C., this year and Greensboro in 2010. Attempts to play in Boston's Fenway Park fell through.
A proposal to increase the number of conference basketball games from 16 to 18 didn't pass Wednesday. The measure would have made scheduling easier and reduced the number of payout games for ACC schools. But Karl Hicks, the conference's associate commissioner for men's basketball, said coaches wanted to keep their options flexible for lining up strong intersectional games.
The league also gave commissioner John Swofford authority to push for an early signing day for football. Coaches hope Swofford can get a December signing date passed at the Conference Commissioners Association meeting next month in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Football is currently the only NCAA sport without an early signing day.

It has been a good couple of years for open source virtualisation product KVM. Available as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise and Canonical Ubuntu, KVM is now a serious competitor to established products such as VMware's vSphere, Microsoft's Hyper-V and Citrix's Xen.
In 2011, the Open Virtualization Alliance was formed by IBM, HP, Red Hat, BMC Software, Eucalyptus Systems, SUSE and Intel. Since then, it has gathered over 250 members many of whom are delivering solutions, such as management software, to make KVM a viable enterprise solution.
In terms of performance, KVM is no slouch. At the end of January 2013, it held the top 7 SPECVirt benchmarks. SPEC industry standard benchmarks are used by vendors to highlight the capabilities of their solutions and it is rare that an open source solution holds so many. Of more interest is that when put head to head with VMware, KVM outperforms it across 2,4 and 8 socket servers.
All of this sounds good and the list of end-users, especially large enterprise customers, is growing. Ask around at shows, however, and KVM is unlikely to be the first virtualisation product that many people mention. Talk to the very large cloud vendors and it is a different proposition. There are an increasing number of very large cloud providers who now offer KVM as an alternative to VMware and Microsoft. The interest is even higher when you look at the smaller cloud providers who have moved from being hosting companies to cloud providers.
There are an increasing number of very large cloud providers who now offer KVM as an alternative to VMware and Microsoft
The reason for this interest in KVM is twofold. The first is that a lot of these suppliers have an established history of delivering Linux. The second is cost because it is cheaper to deploy KVM than other virtualisation products. This wasn't always the case. Both Microsoft and VMware have increased the cost per virtual machine in recent years. KVM, as a newcomer, is therefore much cheaper.
If could be argued that this is never going to be a fair comparison because there are management suites and other products from the key virtualisation vendors that are tightly bound to their hypervisors. KVM, on the other hand, relies on a third party industry, OVA, to provide all of this and those products have to be licensed separately. However, if you just look at the cost per VM, there is a significant difference.

BOSTON Twitter said that it mistakenly reset the passwords of "a large number" of its more than 140 million active users while conducting routine security screening to identify accounts that may have been compromised.
"In instances when we believe an account may have been compromised, we reset the password and send an email letting the account owner know this has happened," Twitter said in its blog on Thursday. "In this case, we unintentionally reset passwords of a larger number of accounts, beyond those that we believed to have been compromised."
Carolyn Penner, a spokeswoman for the social-networking site, declined to say how many Twitter accounts were affected by the error.
She said that there had not been a security breach.

What Is Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy basics.
Bankruptcy is a process in which consumers and businesses can eliminate or repay some or all of their debts under the protection of the federal bankruptcy court. For the most part, bankruptcies can be divided into two types -- liquidation and reorganization.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy comes under the liquidation category. It's called liquidation because the bankruptcy trustee may take and sell ("liquidate") some of your property to pay back some of your debt. However, you may keep property that is protected (also called "exempt") under state law. There are several types of reorganization bankruptcies, but Chapter 13 is most commonly used by consumers. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you keep all of your property, but must make monthly payments over three to five years to repay all or some of your debt.
Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy have many rules -- and exceptions to those rules -- regarding which debts are covered, who can file, and what property you can and cannot keep.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be filed by individuals (called a "consumer" Chapter 7 bankruptcy) or businesses (called a "business" Chapter 7 bankruptcy). A Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically lasts three to six months.
Property liquidation. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, some of your property may be sold to pay down your debt. In return, most or all of your unsecured debts (that is, debts for which collateral has not been pledged, such as medical debts and most credit card debts) will be erased. You get to keep any property that is classified as exempt under the state or federal laws available to you (such as your clothes, car, and household furnishings). Many debtors who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy are pleased to learn that all of their property is exempt. To learn more, see Bankruptcy Exemptions in Chapter 7.
Secured debt. If you owe money on a secured debt (for example, a car loan for which the car is pledged as a guarantee of payment), you have a choice of allowing the creditor to repossess the property; continuing your payments on the property under the contract (if the lender agrees); or paying the creditor a lump sum amount equal to the current replacement value of the property. Some types of secured debts can be eliminated in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Check out Secured Debt & Property in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to learn more.
Eligibility for Chapter 7. Not everyone can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. For example, if your disposable income is sufficient to fund a Chapter 13 repayment plan -- after subtracting certain allowed expenses and monthly payments for certain debts -- you won't be allowed to use Chapter 7 bankruptcy. For more on this and other requirements, see Chapter 7 Bankruptcy -- Who Can File?
Bankruptcy doesn't work on some kinds of debts. Though bankruptcy can eliminate many kinds of debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and unsecured loans, there are many types of debts, including child support and spousal support obligations and most tax debts, that cannot be wiped out in bankruptcy. For more information, see What Bankruptcy Can and Cannot Do.
Get step-by-step instructions on filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Nolo's How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as "wage earner" bankruptcy because, in order to file for Chapter 13, you must have a reliable source of income that you can use to repay some portion of your debt.
Debt limits. Your debts must be within limits set by the federal government: Currently, you may not have more than $1,149,525 in secured debt and $383,175 in unsecured debt.
Secured debts. If you have secured debts, Chapter 13 gives you an option to make up missed payments to avoid repossession or foreclosure. You can include these past due amounts in your repayment plan and make them up over time. To get a better understanding of how Chapter 13 can help with secured debts, see Nolo's sections on Your Home and Mortgage in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Reducing Loans and Non-Residential Mortgages in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
For more information on Chapter 13 bankruptcy, see Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Repay Your Debts, by Stephen Elias.
Other Types of Reorganization Bankruptcy
In addition to Chapter 13 bankruptcy, there are two other types of reorganization bankruptcy: Chapter 11 and Chapter 12.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Chapter 11 is typically used by financially struggling businesses to reorganize their affairs. It is also available to individuals, but because Chapter 11 bankruptcy is expensive and time-consuming, it is generally used only by those whose debts exceed the Chapter 13 bankruptcy limits (rare) or who own substantial nonexempt assets (such as several pieces of real estate). If you are considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, you'll need to talk to a lawyer.
Chapter 12 bankruptcy. Chapter 12 is almost identical to Chapter 13 bankruptcy. But to be eligible for Chapter 12 bankruptcy, at least 80% of your debts must arise from the operation of a family farm of fishery. Chapter 12 bankruptcy has higher debt ceilings to accommodate the large debts that may come with operating a farm, and it offers the debtor more power to eliminate certain types of liens. Very few people use Chapter 12 bankruptcy; if you want to join their ranks, you should consult with a lawyer. (To talk to a bankruptcy attorney in your area, visit Nolo's Lawyer Directory.)

I'm not sure if I believe in the "quarter life crisis." According to The Internet, turning twenty-five awakens a sense of panic – about purpose, career, love, money, health, whether or not you should get a pixie cut – that has apparently been dormant within you for the past twenty-four years. Metabolism slows, relationships are reevaluated, and the world feels bigger and scarier than it ever did before. Twenty-five is like Cinderella's midnight toll: party's over, kid. Go home to your pumpkin and house full of mice.
But, um, the only problem with that scenario is that I've been panicking about purpose, career, love, money, health, and whether or not I should get a pixie cut since I was, like, six. At this point, the anxiety is kind of like a spider in my bathroom (There really is a spider in my bathroom. It is red; I don't like it.) that just kind of hangs out while I go about my everyday life – I'd rather see it out in the open than think about it creeping out of sight under my drain or in the folds of my bath robe, planning to surprise (kill) me.
The point of this analogy is that 1.) Can someone please go in my bathroom and murder that spider? and 2.) I'd rather face questions about my future than bury them in the "Things to Freak Out About" drawer in the already very unorganized filing cabinet of my brain.
In the past, birthdays were all about celebrating what was coming: at sixteen, I will get my driver's license, at twenty-one I will drink margaritas on a Tuesday … Now, more than ever, this birthday feels like the perfect time to celebrate what has already happened. Twenty-four years of exams and papers and blog posts and airplane rides and kittens and books and books by the pool and books in bed and eggs benedict and that one time I was vegan and that other time when I learned to cook steak. And people, the best people. At home and at Home and at HOME.
In terms of what will happen? I'll probably just keep hanging out with that spider in my bathroom and hope for the best.

1. If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking, by Emily Dickinson

I shall not live in vain.

The Art of Living by John Stuart Mill, 1848
Big thoughts that resonate with me today...
The Art of Living by John Stuart Mill, 1848
Hitherto it is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being. They have enabled a greater population to live the same life of drudgery and imprisonment, and an increased number of manufacturers and other to make fortunes. They have increased the comforts of the middle classes. But they have not yet begun to effect those great changes in human destiny, which it is in their nature and in their futurity to accomplish. Only when, in addition to just institutions, the increase of mankind shall be under the deliberate guidance of judicious foresight, can the conquests made from the powers of nature by the intellect and energy of scientific discoverers, become the common property of the species, and the means of improving and elevating the universal lot.
