Energy drinks are kind of a racket. Most of them are little more than huge amounts of sugar or caffeine, dressed up with a few healthy sounding ingredients or some slick marketing, at higher prices than your average soft drink or cup of coffee. Homemade energy drink recipes give you the opportunity to make up exactly the drink you want, with exactly the ingredients you trust, and save money.
Energy drink ingredients you may already have
To build your own energy drink recipes, consider what you already have on hand for energy boosting:
- Tea – black tea, ginseng tea or gingko. Even green tea has some caffeine. Any of these can be brewed to be used in energy drinks.
- Fruit or fruit juice – fruits provide natural sugars and vitamins. Bananas, oranges, berries, etc. are known for their vitamin content, but I was surprised to learn that coconut milk has a ton of nutrients.
- Coffee – for the caffeine.
- Honey, m0lasses or unrefined sugar – refined sugar will give you a boost, and artificial sweeteners won't. If you want a little nutrition along with your boost, try one of these more complex versions of sugar.
Note: you can also make your own energy bars.
Homemade energy drink recipes
- DIY Energy Shot. With green tea and passion tea, it's designed for a pre-workout energy shot.
- Breakfast Energy Smoothie. Berries, orange juice, and yogurt are a great way to start the day.
- Layered Mixed-Berry Green Power Smoothie. A beautiful, thick smoothie with all kinds of fruits and veggies.
- Cherry Lemonade Energy Drink. Tastes like cherry lemonade, but with green tea and coconut water for energy.
- Plain Apple Cider Vinegar Health Drink. Made with organic, raw apple cider.
- Electrolyte Energy Drink. Several variations, with ingredients like lemon, lime, and coconut water.
- Super Easy All Natural Energy Drink. With matcha green tea powder, Stevia and optional lime juice.
- Maggie's Energy Drink. Relies on gingko or ginseng for an energy boost, rather than sugar or caffeine.
- Grizzly Bears Energy Drink. Lemon, honey, and no refined sugar (the salt and baking soda will help you rehydrate).
- Cocoa Energy drink. Chocolate, banana, milk and sugar.
- Strawberry Energy Drink. Strawberries, peaches, honey.
- Gatorade Substitute. This comes close to the exact ratio of ingredients that makes Gatorade effective.
- Chocolate Energy Drink. With egg for protein.

Indulge in the soothing sights of this silver finish contemporary lava lamp filled with clear liquid and vibrant red wax.More Details >
Live La Vida LAVA® with this classic volcano motion lamp design. Clear liquid is paired with red wax that melts to become the mesmerizing lava we all know and love.

The coil heats the wax that creates the oozing, mesmerizing motion.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Absolutely love this lava Lamp!!!
I collect lava lamps so I'm always looking for new ones in colors I don't already have.
The lava lamp is working just as it should. It was a great value on sale. Fun to look at.
We turn it on every evening when we are home.
Love my lava lamp
I was pleased to get original Lava lamps at a competitive price. They look just like I remembered them from when I was a teen - the grandchildren love them!
The Lava Lamps have been around for 50 some years. As a teenager I wanted one but never got one. I just recently moved and discovered I needed a light for atop my entertainment center. I looked at several lamps then it hit me the Lava Light! I finally got my lamp, it's exactly what I wanted 30 years ago. I even got the color I have always wanted. I love it, love watching it and plan on enjoying it for many years. Someday, when I can afford it, I would love to get another one for the bedroom. This time in blue. This lamp is high quality at a decent price.
I use the Lava lamp everyday. The great thing about it is that it is like moving art and it gives a comforting glow with all other lights out. Because of the bright red wax with clear liquid it enables the owner to watch it as it moves and dances. It is very relaxing and adds appeal to any room.
My first Lava Light and I love it. I always wanted a Lava Lamp, seen them in stores and find them fascinating to watch. My light came well packaged and very quickly. It was very easy to put together, plug in and wait for it to warm up. I definitely will be getting another one for the bedroom. You can't beat the quality or price here. I recommend it highly.
I use them as night lights for my little girls and now they love bedtime and turning out the lights!

Lukas Nelson Follows in Dad Willie's Bootsteps
Willie Nelson's 21-year-old son Lukas is definitely a chip off the old block. He's been "on the road again" from the time he was an infant, riding on the bus with the Highwaymen. Now he's opening for his dad, with his band Promise of the Real.
Lukas tells the Athens Banner-Herald that his father's wanderlust has definitely rubbed off on him. "I grew up on the road. I really enjoy it. I just can't sit still for very long and I'm used to being in a different place within a short amount of time."
Lukas also admits that while he couldn't possibly pick one favorite song of his dad's, he is partial to one particular album. "There are tons of his songs that I love. He's my hero. I go through phases — I listen to him probably more than anybody else … I really like the 'Naked Willie' album that came out recently. I love a song called 'I'm Just A Memory.' Some songs I listen to over and over and over again."
The admiration is mutual.
"Rock, folk, Latin, country … They have had all influences in their life, and it comes out in their music," Willie told The Boot, when we asked the legend to describe his son's band. "They're really talented kids. I'm proud of them."

Billboards to draw attention to death in police custody
Billboards calling for changes as a result of the death of Derek Williams in police custody are scheduled to go up in the Milwaukee area by Friday.
Williams, 22, died in the back of Milwaukee police squad car in July 2011, gasping for breath and begging for help as officers largely ignored his pleas.
Assistant Medical Examiner Christopher Poulos initially ruled Williams died of natural causes. He based his ruling on trusting police who said Williams was arrested "without incident." Poulos did not ask for or review any police reports or video during his initial investigation.
He later changed his finding in the Williams case to homicide after the Journal Sentinel obtained the police reports and squad video, and brought them to Poulos' attention. Those reports showed force was used in Williams' arrest and that had a role in his death.
The new billboards are being paid for by the father of a 21-year-old man killed by Kenosha police in November 2004. The father, Michael M. Bell, thinks the process by which in-custody deaths are investigated needs to be reformed in Wisconsin.
Kenosha police shot Bell's son, Michael E. Bell, in the head in his driveway after a traffic stop. He was unarmed. The Kenosha County district attorney declined to charge the officers involved. A department investigation ruled the shooting justified.
Seven billboards will have the message: "When Police kill, Should they withhold evidence? www.MichaelBell.info."
Bell said Thursday the billboard company estimated the message will have more than 600,000 views a day and more than 3 million for the week. He said the message will change in the second week, but he will not say what it is. Bell said he may adjust the message depending on developments in the Williams case.
Bell said the Williams case created an opportunity to discuss changing the system.
"I call on good police officers to stand up and get the system fixed," Bell said Thursday.
Also Thursday, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) joined other public officials in asking U.S. Attorney James Santelle to investigate Williams' death. A dozen Milwaukee aldermen, Mayor Tom Barrett and others earlier made that request.
Santelle said Monday he is weighing authorizing both a federal criminal investigation and a more sweeping examination into a possible pattern of civil rights abuses by the department. Police Chief Edward Flynn and District Attorney John Chisholm said they would cooperate with such investigations.
Moore noted that it took the police department 10 months of requests by the Journal Sentinel before the video of Williams was released.
"As the details continue to emerge, it is troublesome that there are still many unanswered questions regarding the circumstances of the event itself and whether there are broader concerns about the policies and practices that may have contributed to this tragedy," Moore wrote.

Emerald Society Run A Big Success
Over 200 runners turned out for Saturday's Emerald Society 5K run. Despite the initial rains and wind, the weather subsided as the runner's approached the finish line. Race organizer Brendan Dolan described this year's run as a "great day for Rockaway and a great day for runners at the Irish Circle."
Traditionally held the second Saturday after Labor Day, the Five K run benefits the Emerald Society's Children's Scholarship Fund. The run has been an annual event in Rockaway for the last eight years with the exception of 2001, when it was canceled due to the terrorist attacks.
With over three hundred registered for the race, turnout was surprisingly high given the difficult weather. Msgr. Martin Geraghty of St. Francis De Sales Parish, who doubles as chaplain for the Emerald Society, praised the "great courageous people in the tough conditions." Yorki Munoz of the College Point Road Runners and Track Club placed first in the men's competition while Evelyn Perez was the women's overall winner. While most of the runners were from Rockaway, almost all of the runners to place in Saturday's race have an affiliation with the College Point club.
Beginning with a moving "Star Spangled Banner" by officer Carl Dixon and four bagpipers from the Emerald Society's Pipe Band, the race started at Beach 102nd and Shore Front Parkway.
The course then turned left onto the Boardwalk on 108th Street and continued to 73rd Street where the runners faced difficult head winds. The homestretch took runners back onto Shore Front Parkway to 102nd Street to meet the finish line in front of the Irish Circle.
Several runners found the wind to be the toughest part of the race. Aaron Rosenzweig of the Dayton Towers said, "going down to 73rd Street and facing the winds was killer." Another runner said "tough wind, great race."Runner Scott Vogel of Forest Hills, who has won the forties age group twice, couldn't believe the competition. "Half of the lead pack was in their forties, the young guys have nothing on us." He added, "guys in their forties rule."
Given the success and money raised for the scholarship fund, race organizer Brendan Dolan is grateful for the help of the people at the Irish Circle. "We'd like to extend our thanks to Mr. Parrish of the Irish Circle for his hospitality and generosity without whose help this race wouldn't be held."

I'm not saying he is or he isn't I was just correcting the other poster when he said the only thing Scott did in the preseason was score a td on a fake punt. I don't have an opinion on him one way or the other, but like I said he has promising speed.
BTW on that fake punt, he humiliated brandon tate who had an angle on him. That's pretty impressing -- outrunning brandon tate.

Postseason Awards Update (Dec. 6)
Dec 6, 2012, 3:18 PM EDT
I think it's time to build a new wing at the Gug.
The Fighting Irish are continuing to rack up major awards this week, and there's potential to add a few more tonight at The Home Depot College Football Awards (7:30 pm ET on ESPN).
Last night in Houston, Manti Te'o became the first Notre Dame player to win the Rotary Lombard Award since Aaron Taylor in 1993.
The Lombardi Award is given to the best lineman or linebacker, and Te'o becomes the fifth Irish player to receive the honor – Taylor (1993), Chris Zorich (1990), Ross Browner (1977) and Walt Patulski (1971).
On Thursday afternoon, Te'o and teammate Mike Golic Jr. were also named to the first team Capital One Academic All-America® Football Team which is selected annually by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America).
Te'o and Golic are the first pair of Irish teammates to earn first-team Academic All-American honors since 1987. This year also marks Te'o's second appearance on the team, as he was a second-team selection last season.
The linebacker from Laie, Hawaii holds a 3.324 grade-point-average and later this month, will graduate (in three and a half years) from the College of Arts and Letters with a bachelor's degree in design.
Meanwhile, Golic is currently enrolled in graduate studies, after graduating from the College of Arts and Letters in May 2012 with a degree in film, television and theatre. The Irish's right guard finished his undergraduate career with a 3.428 GPA.
Te'o, Tyler Eifert, head coach Brian Kelly and former Irish coach Ara Parseghian are in Orlando for this evening's awards show.
Eifert will become Notre Dame's first Mackey Award recipient, Kelly will pick up his second Home Depot Coach of the Year Award, and Parseghian will be honored with the Contributions to College Football Award.
Te'o is a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Maxwell Award (nation's best all-around player) and the Chuck Bednarik Trophy (defensive player of the year), all three of which will be also presented. Should he win two of those, Te'o would tie former Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson as the only player to capture five major postseason awards. The current Green Bay Packer brought home the Bednarik, Nagurski, Thorpe, Walter Camp and Heisman in 1997.
Oh, and Te'o is also in the running for the Heisman (Saturday) and Lott IMPACT Trophy (Sunday).
Like I said, we better start clearing some space in the Gug lobby.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The author Nnedi Okorafor doesn't write stories that feel tired or predictable. Her books, which mash up literary genres from African literature to science fiction and fantasy, stand out for their originality and their abilities to take young readers on unexpected journeys.
"There's more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor's work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics," the celebrated author Ursula K. Le Guin wrote in a recent review.
At 7 p.m. on July 10, Okorafor will give a free reading and discuss the craft of writing at Austin Peay State University's Morgan University Center. The event, which is free and open to the public, is part of the Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop, which brings seventh- through 12th-grade students to the APSU campus for a week each summer to explore their interest in writing. Humanities Tennessee and the APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts co-host the workshop every summer.
The July 10 reading will provide the students, and interested Clarksville residents, with the opportunity to hear one of the leading young adult writers working in the country today. Okorafor's recent book, "Akata Witch," has received numerous accolades, including the Young Adult Library Services Association's Best Book of the Year, an Amazon.com 2011 Best Book of the Year Award and a nomination for an Andre Norton Award for Best Young Adult Science Fiction.
Each of the young writers attending this year's workshop will receive a free copy of that book, thanks to the support of the Nashville Predators Foundation.
Okorafor is also the recipient of the Wole Soyinka Prize for African Literature, the CBS Parallax Award and the Macmillan Writer's Prize for Africa. She holds a Ph.D. in English and currently is professor of creative writing at Chicago State University.
For more information on the workshop, visit the website humanitiestennessee.org. For more information on the reading, contact Susan Wallace with the APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts at 221-7031 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Make a Sweet Symmetry Treat
Symmetry is a property of geometry in which both sides of a shape are exact reflections of each other. The line of symmetry is the dividing line separating the two opposite sides. One way to practice recognizing symmetrical shapes is to fold a piece of paper in half, and use scissors to cut a shape on the fold. When you open the paper, what you see is a symmetrical shape, with the fold being the line of symmetry! Here's a fun way to explore symmetry that goes beyond paper and scissors. This activity makes symmetry not only fun, but sweet!
What You Need:
- Small tortillas, at room temperature
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar
- Kitchen shears
- Cookie sheet
What You Do:
- Gently fold a tortilla in half. Do not crease, as this can tear the tortilla.
- Have your child use a pair of clean kitchen shears to cut shapes on the fold. Challenge her to create certain shapes, such as hearts. Remind her that she will only need to cut half of the symmetrical shape to create it on folded material because she is cutting on the line of symmetry.
- Gently open the tortilla to check the symmetrical shape. If necessary, refold the tortilla to add more cuts and snips as desired.
- Now it's time to turn symmetry practice into a sweet treat. Spray both sides of the tortilla with cooking spray, and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for a few minutes until light golden brown. (Note: Cook longer for a crispy tortilla; shorten cooking time for a softer tortilla.)
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle immediately with powdered sugar. Now enjoy eating your sweet symmetry treat!
Note: For some varied holiday fun try making Symmetrical Valentine Tortillas, a Shamrock Tortilla for St. Patrick's Day, a Star Tortilla on Independence Day, and a Snowflake or Christmas Tree Tortilla in December.

SecurityStation for Remote IP Camera Monitoring
Each and every day SecurityStation ensures that hundreds of customers have an always-on live connection to their cameras. Remote monitoring is at the heart of SecurityStation's cloud-based platform, and when we created SecurityStation we wanted to build a fully-featured, cross-browser mechanism for remote monitoring of live streams. What we've already built into the system is only part of the way there, but we're now close to realising the full extent of this goal.
Resolving the Resolution Conundrum
We get a lot of questions about resolution in SecurityStation, particularly on the subject of our live view. Most of those questions are about the perceived small size of the live view, so we've put together this post by way of a explanation.
Free 1 Camera Account Now Available in the EU
We recently announced that our UK users were eligible for a FREE (completely free, no adverts or trial period) SecurityStation account for 1 camera. Today, we're extending that to a long list of European Union countries too. Read on for more details.
Free 1 camera account launched
Great news! We are introducing a free SecurityStation 1 camera account, opening up the service to network camera users who use software to record from their camera. Software is no longer needed.
Many IP cameras are sold with free 1 channel recording software. Users are required to install this software on their PC and keep this running to record footage and play it back. The new, free SecurityStation account does away with this requirement.
Feature feature: 'Test access'
With the latest batch of updates we released along with wireless settings support for Panasonic plug and play cameras we included a new 'Test access' feature.
Plug and Play Support for Axis IP Cameras
We announce today that we have completed built-in plug and play support for Axis IP cameras within SecurityStation. The addition of Axis to the plug and play supported brands follows the success of this 'ease-of-use' feature with Panasonic cameras, introduced in August 2010.

THERE is a wonderful story about Desert Island Discs, which may be apocryphal, but which deserves repeating anyway. Roy Plomley, who devised the programme in 1942 and for many years was its much-loved presenter, had decided to invite Alistair MacLean, the well-known novelist, as his guest. MacLean had a reputation for being private and elusive, but was rumoured to be in London, staying at a hotel. An assistant was asked to track him down, and did so.
Alistair MacLean appeared to be flattered by the invitation and agreed to come to the studio, where he duly sat down with Roy Plomley. Their conversation then started, music was played, and MacLean began to go on about his love of the Canadian countryside.
The producer, in his booth, became concerned that there was as yet no mention of the books, and so through the headphones he urged Plomley to ask him about the novels. Then it became clear: they had found the wrong Alistair MacLean and they were, in fact, interviewing the Alistair MacLean who happened to be the Canadian minister of tourism. The conversation continued, and although the programme was never broadcast, the guest was not to know, which is exactly the courtesy that one could expect of the BBC.
That story may be true, but even if it is not, it says something about the ethos of this perennially popular programme. Desert Island Discs is an investigation of a life, but it is not meant to be a third-degree interrogation. And yet being invited on to the programme is by no means the simple pleasure that one might imagine. It may be, in fact, something of a psychological shock, which is what it was for me, at the beginning at least.
I had done something like it once before. A couple of years ago I did a book tour of Australia. Book tours are the same the world over: you travel to all sorts of places, shake all sorts of hands, pick up all sorts of infections, sign a large number of books, and then go off to the next destination. But a book tour of Australia, if one is fortunate enough, includes a visit to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation headquarters and the studio of Margaret Throsby, who invites her guest to choose five pieces of music and talk about their lives. Margaret Throsby, like Sue Lawley, is a superb interviewer, but even a superb interviewer can be taken by surprise.
In this case, the surprise came with the playing of the music. I had chosen, as my first piece, to reflect memories of childhood, Henry Hall's magnificently sinister 'Teddy Bear's Picnic'. This is not the innocent song it appears to be; there are, in fact, very threatening undertones in the song, and I made some observations about these.
We then moved on to a piece of African music, Enoch Sontonga's beautifully moving hymn, 'Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika'. I had chosen, I recall, Ladysmith Black Mambazo's rendition of this. Unfortunately, the entirely wrong piece of music was played, and the show was live. Margaret Throsby's professional smile slipped and there were frantic signals to the control box. I made signals myself, indicating that this was fine by me, but this did not seem to allay their embarrassment. Apparently this is the worst thing that can happen - short of a guest actually dying during the interview - and their embarrassment was palpable. When the wrong tune came to an end, I said that I was very pleased with what they had actually played, as I liked that piece of music very much and would have chosen it had we had more time. This helped, a bit.
BUT DOING A practice run in Sydney was no substitute for appearing before Sue Lawley herself, and eventually, after I had declined an appearance last year on the grounds that I simply could not face it at the time, I went down to London three weeks ago and presented myself at the BBC studios. There is a telephone call before this happens. A researcher calls and talks you through your life and your choice of discs. They then associate each piece of music with some experience or stage of one's life.
That may sound simple enough, but there are potential problems. Firstly, there is the choosing of the music. Most of us have numerous pieces of music which we enjoy and which we could see ourselves taking to a desert island, but it is not as easy as it looks to choose just eight of these. I found that I had four which were clear favourites - music that I find myself playing again and again (the music that one hopes to hear at one's funeral, so to speak). But the choice of the others was rather more difficult. I went for 'As Time Goes By' from the soundtrack to Casablanca, 'Soave Sia Il Vento' from Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutti and WH Auden reading one of his own poems which rang true with my own experiences in recent years.
The one thing that you should not do is choose music that you think will give the right impression - whatever that impression is. I imagine that the programme's staff can spot that immediately - the overly serious selection, the highly obscure items, and so on. It was said that John Major's spin doctors played rather too large a role in his selection when he went on the programme, the result being the sort of music that they thought would prompt the listener to say - "What a nice man (judging by his choice of music)."
Michael Howard, who appeared on the programme recently, made what sounded like a completely authentic choice - of music that was not necessarily what one thought a leader of the Conservative Party would choose. But then would anybody really imagine the leader of the Conservative Party choosing 'Land of Hope and Glory'? Something by the Beatles, it seems, is what they like.
And so to the actual entrance into the studio. There was Sue Lawley, sitting in the chair in which she has been presumably sitting for the past 18 years, smiling a welcome. It was just like going to the dentist. She knew that I was anxious because of a reluctance to talk about my private life (and the whole point of the show is that it delves into one's private life). But she was like the most sympathetic of dentists - gentle, probing in the subtlest possible way. I immediately formed a rapport with her and ended up enjoying the experience of sitting in her studio, talking about things that I normally would prefer not to talk about in front of a large audience. In no time at all the half hour or so was over. The anaesthetic began to wear off. My jaw was only mildly numb. I had barely felt the drill, such was her charm and skill, and real niceness.
Of course, Sue Lawley can get tough and her feelings about her guest may come through. But what makes the programme so special and her skill so admirable is that the conversation always remains a courteous one. But it is nonetheless an ordeal for the victim, because one is being asked to make both a personal statement and a statement about what one likes in music. That is a curiously revealing combination: talking about music that one loves is like baring the soul. If you choose a piece of music that can bring tears to your eyes, then you are effectively saying what makes you cry. These may be private associations, private pleasures, and it is counter-intuitive to parade them in public.
After the programme you shake hands and are led out of the building into the BBC foyer. Suddenly you are in a different world - not the BBC of Desert Island Discs, one of the last redoubts of broadcasting civility, but in the world of noisy pop and strident phone-ins. You say: "Heavens, I was awful," and the person with you says, "You weren't! You weren't!" But you fear that you are right and you can hear the laughter of your friends already. At least when the programme is played, one can be out somewhere, without a radio.

Patterns of Singularity: The Motivations of Independent Jewish Funders in Times of Economic Distress
By Steven M. Cohen, Dasee Berkowitz
Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, March 22, 2009
This study explores the motivations, characteristics, and concerns of Jewish philanthropists who support innovative and independent initiatives in Jewish life. The study also reports on these donors' relationships to major issues, established organizations, and Jewish social entrepreneurs. It assesses the impact of the economic downturn on both Jewish and universal giving and concludes with recommendations for bridging the disconnect between donors and young Jewish innovators.

What is safe span of two 2x12's?
I have a friend with a cracked-ceiling problem. He had a metal roof installed and added solar panels on top. Not sure if they removed the old seal-tab roof before installing metal roof.
The living room, dining room, hall and kitchen are developing cracks in the ceiling. Looks bad. I check the attic. Looks like those pre-formed A-frame roofs with those metal mesh sheets connecting the rafters and joices. However, there is no load-bearing wall holding up everything between dining and living room. It's a large, 30' or so unsupported span. I think the problem is the roof has become too heavy. Be up to me I'd remove the solar panels and if there's seal-tab below the metal roof, remove everything down to the decking and put a new roof on it. Lot of work though.
How about if we install two 2x12's 12 foot across from one side of the wall to the other. I think it's about 12 feet. May be just 10' or so. Haven't measured it yet. It's a single-story, ranch-style home.
What would be the maximum span for 2x12's in this situation?
Ok Thanks,
Difficult to say without pics, but from your description I suspect your friend has more problems with his roof than can be solved by a couple of 2 x 12s.
I believe what you are describing on your friend's roof system is a truss system.
Do not want to muck about with that without having a truss engineering company look into it.
Outstanding guys. I believe you are both on top of your game. I didn't feel like installing the beam anyway and I've been thinking about it since shortly after Tony posted. Yes, I need to do the right thing: suggest to my friend to contact a building inspector or truss engineer to assess the problem.
In the interest of helping others, apparently less qualified than me, I wish to confess about something I did that I regret doing:
This is my ex-wife and she lives in the house and I just felt sorry for her with all the cracks in her ceiling so I offered to patch the cracks for nothing. I'm really very good with sheetrock and already floated them about three times until it finally dawned on me: YOU'RE HIDING A SERIOUS STRUCTURAL PROBLEM JACK!
I really regret doing this as I've been a remodeler for over 30 years. I've decided of course to tell her I won't finish the work; I wish to leave the remnants of all the cracks the outlines of which are floated nicely, so that they can be reminded of the underlying structural problem so that they will address it correctly as I stated above.
Ok, I'm done.
Is she also trying to use that attic for storage?
Was there supporting walls there at one time and someone removed them to open up the area?
Ok Joe, you're just getting me in more trouble: About 35 years ago, I removed part of a connecting wall and installed cabinets on the partial wall and a counter top. And in my defense, I recommended to her dad to put a 4x4 column at the end of the counter top. He did not. I believe although I'm not sure, small cracks did eventually appear in the ceiling next to the partial wall. But I do not recall them ever being serious cracks until to the best of my knowledge, about 3 or so years ago.
Now, they installed the metal roof and then the solar panels which are very nearly directly overhead of the cracks. I'm pretty sure the cracks became more noticeable near about this time.
The cracks were pretty serious before I floated them. I've not yet gone on the roof or looked at it carefully to see if the roof is sagging.
Edit: I guess I should point out the way someone good with sheetrock would have handled this problem would have been first to fix the underlying structural problem, remove all the cracked sheetrock, install new, re-float the entire ceiling until all traces of the renovation vanishes.
I failed in that regard but I'm not doing all that work for free.
If it was my ex I'd tell her to make her bedroom right under the area and that everything looks perfect! Seriously sounds like major structural issues need addressing.
What do those solar panels weigh? Generally a roof truss is designed to carry the roof weight as well as a snow load. If those panels are heavy, that certainly could be the problem. Unless there is something weird going on, I highly doubt that those roof trusses had any bearing other than the exterior walls. Just because there was a wall under the middle at one time does not mean it was a bearing wall.
Hey guys,
The area in question is approx. 12x30 or so but I haven't measured it. It's a long, un-supported span with the truss roofing going length-wise across the 30' span. There doesn't seem to be diagonal cross-beams between the rafters and joices. I invited a family-member architect to look at the problem (I'm not bad myself to solve it either). He feels that if we just add the diagonal braces between rafter and joices as well as put a center support from ridge to ceiling (three braces per 24' width so about six sets of these using 2x4's then we should be alright and that's fine with me since putting a beam there is a bit unsightly and really hard work if any of you have done something like that, that is do it well I mean.
I'll first shore it up along damaged area so we don't fall through. May crack work I already did but I'm good at sheetrock so no problem.
Ok, then that's the plan: me and my brother-sort-in-law, Thursday first thing. about 6-8 hours (may also put an L-shaped 2x6 member across center along 12' span. Full day's work. I told him he's making $1000.00 on the deal.
Also: he has 9 solar panels each seems to be 2x6. Don't know how much they weigh but architect said not an unacceptable load on roof. Rather the solar panels are equivalent to storage in attic and there is not storage in this attic.
You need to send us pictures.
This may not be a quick fix and what is the rafter spacing ?
Are these 2x12 rafters, scissor trusses or another type ?
depending on the snow load, 30' may be too long a span for 2x12 rafters at ANY spacing .......12", 16" or 24"
If you have no snow load rating requirement then 12" on center should be alright.
Or if there on 24" centers you could double up every rafter.
I live in Louisiana so no snow load. Rafter spacing is 24" although don't recall definitely if they're 2x6's. Nothing bigger I'm sure.
The plan is for me to first just look at it. I can crawl safely right up to it over the hallway. Look at it and decide how much effort to put all those braces. May not be enough head-height and I think there is a large AC duct right down the middle where one would normaly place a vertical brace from roof ridge down to ceiling joices so will have to just offset a pair say 2' from center on each side of the duct work.
If it looks doable, then the plan is to adequately shore up the ceiling span (12'), then go up and affix the reinforcement. Too crowded I think for two people. I'll have someone on the floor though to help me.
Personally, if this was my house, I would add the braces and a beam.
Upon further reading, is it possible that when you removed the wall, you accidentally cut through one of the trusses? Even a small kerf could significantly weaken the whole truss system.

Google Patent Outlines Weather Sensing Advertisements
Shane McGlaun
March 23, 2012 10:05 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
One more way to spy on you or nice new feature?
Many mobile phone and internet users have no love for ads. Mobile phones already have limited screen real estate, so the intrusion of ads is especially annoying. Google has now filed for a patent for weather-based advertising, but claims that it doesn't have current plans to use the patent.
A Google spokesman said, "We file patent applications on a variety of ideas that our employees come up with. Some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don't. Prospective product announcements should not necessarily be inferred from our patent applications."
The patent outlines a way that Google could serve ads based on the environmental conditions of the user's immediate area. For instance, the patent opens the doors to be able to show you ads for things like umbrellas if it's raining or possibly sunscreen on bright days.
Privacy advocates already fear the patent could set a dangerous precedent. Being able to sense weather conditions in your immediate area would seemingly make it easier to identify exactly where the user is.
"Advertisements for air conditioners can be sent to users located at regions having temperatures above a first threshold, while advertisements for winter overcoats can be sent to users located at regions having temperatures below a second threshold," explains the patent document.
reports that the patent can also indicate future phones can be fitted with more sensors allowing it to record temperature, humidity, light, and air composition. That seems like a stretch considering how important battery life is to devices today.
Gus Hosein, executive director of Privacy International says, "Not content with collecting vast amounts of information from your online activities, it seems Google is looking to start exploiting the offline space as well. Patents like this may never come to fruition, but they force us to ask ourselves: how many aspects of our lives will advertisers try to exploit, and where will it end? This is an attempt to turn our devices into personal spying devices, just so a company can try to sell you a coat on a cold day."
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Cuties!December 9, 2011
These little guys are too cute! Nicely light-weight, but weighted enough to hang properly, I used them as accent beads in a spiral rope glasses holder a friend requested. The holes are big enough to let them slide a bit, just the way I like them to. They were exactly what I wanted!

Still NO truck yet???? When you buy one I want to see pictures of it posted here so we all can see it!!! TED
Ted, you will have to send me a check before i can get one LOL
I found a 1997 Chevy 454. Leather, crew cab, flatbed, auto (which i need), nice paint job, nice interior. Its 5K OBO and looks good all around.
Cons- rebuild trans and engine, some rust on the underside...
Any thoughts?
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I have heard horror stories about diesel issues costing huge $$$. I talked with my pastors son (who is also my mechanic) and he said with the 454 vs the Diesel it may come out to the same as far as fuel cost...
Jim knows me, and knows that i really do not need a large diesel...i just need a entry level flatbed. I really would rather go with gas b/c that is what i am used to. Diesel would be one more thing for me to learn and figure out.....
Try to order a New F-350 or 450 cab & chassis with a V10 & see how long the wait is!!!
Real tough to beat the Ford V10 & the $$$$ is a bunch cheeper than the Diesel with about the same powerl!!!
I like the GMC 454. It has the power you need. I have an 85 1 ton with (near as I can tell) over 300,000 on it. Its parked now(finally) with carb problems(darn quadrajet). But that truck MADE money. Even at 8 mpg.Hey you aren't gonna drive that truck to the grocery store every day. You are buying it to carry a load and that load is what pays the bills. So forget the mpg.
If the rebuild was good then that means you wont have to do it.
I don't like anything other than a regular cab in a bee truck. Make sure the bed is wide enough for pallets.Other than the crewcab, I would take a look at the truck if it was close to me.
I see some good deals on F450s with the V 10. But heard horror stories about head gasket failures and spitting out spark plugs(not enough threads on an aluminum head).
The Ford v10's have had a great track record. I've used them since the were first made in '99, in three different trucks. They're used in fleet trucks a lot and again, have heard firsthand good reports.
Regards, Barry
I am now reading the book Fifty Years among the Bees by CC Miller. He has a very nice picture of his mode of transportation.
Similar to this:
Thats good to hear Barry. Its hard to weigh the info going around on the net. A few unhappy customers can skew the data.
I admit the spark plug stories scared me away from what might have been a great deal on a used F450.
Here is what i drive-
January- Trips to get lumber, 50 miles
- take bees to someone to ship to almonds, 200 miles
- check on yards-50 miles MAYBE
Febuary- Lumber and checking on yards, 250 miles
March- Spliting and working yards- 200 miles
Picking up hives from #3 in January, 200 Miles
April- Splitting/working yards- 300 miles
May- Working yards- 200 miles
June- Working yards- 150 miles
July- "" - 100 miles
August-"" - 150 miles
September- splitting and working yards- 200 miles
October " " - 150 miles
November- Working Yards-50 miles
December- Working Yards- 50 Miles
Total- 2300 Miles (less 400 if no almond deal = 1900)
Gas or Diesel? LOL
Some V10's & other Ford V8's had some spark plug/head gasket problems but not that many.
Darn good ole work horse that can get some good MPG for the 2 extra buckets you got to feed
Okay Mike... this isn't a lifetime commitment. You're not getting married... tho plenty of people jump into that with considerably less forethought.
Just buy a truck. That truck will teach you what you want, and what you don't want, in a truck. Then you sell it and buy the one you should have.
Really Mike, I want to know what you got so I can learn from your likes/dislikes. Well? About 200 post ago someone mentioned a beek from GA? who had a real nice rig for sale! I found him several days ago, but can not recall his name.
kind regards
Nothing yet...will need to save more money...read post ##1. But have close to enough!

Opamp PSRR
I noticed that the good sounding opamps all have high PSRR.
Is there any way of using common opamp (NE5532, TL072) to have better PSRR? How to make supply to feed the opamp (+/-15) that can boost the resulting PSRR of the whole CCT?

David, there Is a reason I keep mentioning the Sackinger paper
read it, at least look at the pictures, read the text explaining them
if psrr is measured properly a op amp with high psrr on both rails must have high loop gain

Hi, JCX,
It's a very good paper. With my limited brain, I have not understand this single paper wholy. It will take some time for me to digest it. I'm not very good with math. For now, the usefull picture is fig4 and fig6, this can be implemented in discrete designs. Fig8 is implementable with more complicated CCT.
Since NE5532 or TL072 only have 8pins, all have been used, and we cannot access to the internal CCT of it, I come to conclusion that the "usually overlooked" pins that "may" give better audio performance is pin 4(-suppy) and pin8 (+supply). Giving better supply (maybe?) will extract more reproduction with these ordinary opamps.
But what is to be connected with pin4 and pin8 that can give better audio performance for these ordinary opamps?
|9th March 2007, 02:47 AM
diyAudio Moderator Emeritus
From STAX patent #4366432, I came with this drawing.
The supply is higher than +/-15V needed (coming from +/-25V), connected to the opamp by CCS (10mA), and put zener 15V to maintain the voltage in the opamp's supply.
The idea is that a CCS will have high output impedance, have smaller disturbance. Pin4 and pin8 will see neglected amount of +/-25V's ripple. Then we will need a zener to set the voltage.
It makes a second loop in the zeners as a second load besides the opamp itself.
But after looking at the drawing one more time, what could be the difference between this and ordinary usage of opamp (which connects pin4 and pin8 directly to +/-15V without zeners)? Will the CCS+zener method make better supply rail for the opamps?

In that sim, if you change U2 to the opa227 model which better models psrr
you can then move the AC stimulus to the V1 and then the V2 power supplies to see the psrr boost by looking at the V(boot) and the V(out) performance in the .ac sweep
this connection increases psrr by the added loop gain, ~ 60 dB extra for a total of 120 dB psrr @ 10 KHz
with the composite op amp circuit of post #1 in that same thread you can filter or sub reg U1 power supply for very high psrr too
Zener shunt regulated supplies can acheive good high frequency regulation, where active 3 terminal regs run out of loop gain and psrr

Hi, JCX,
Thanks . So your trick is to add OL gain to improve PSRR?
I found something interesting in your thread. Bootstrapped power supply (Msbootstrap.asc). How good is this method to improve PSRR?
Back again to picture in post#1 in that post. I have 2 questions about this picture :
1. Is it really important to make U2 integrator (feeding back R4-C4 in local loop)? I read somewhere that cascaded opamp design should have the second opamp much faster to inhibit instability.
2. What is the function of R6-R7 (10k to rails). UCD appnote also uses this R, it is said to improve PSRR, but I really don't understand what is the mechanism. In my simple thinking, putting R to rail will worsen PSRR, not improving it.

The Sackinger paper makes clear that adding gain or a ac gnd ref terminal are the ways to increase psrr
in the composite amp adding sub regulation of the input op amp pwr can be thought of as adding a ac gnd ref to the composite
V gain in the output stage of a composite amp is useful to reduce distortion, the modified integrator in the compos.asc circuit lets more low frequency gain be visible in the outer loop where it can greatly reduce input op amp signal levels and therefore the distortion
coordinating high frequency gain/bandwidth of the output amp with the loop gain intercept of the input op amp isn't too hard but understanding the use of Bode plots helps
most examples I've seen/built have relied on much faster output op amps so the dominant pole comensation of the input op amp can control composite loop stability
in the compos circuit from post #1 in my thread R6,7 just add bias to the diode clamp bridge so that in normal operation D1,2 are slightly revese biased to reduce leakage current error and diode junction capacitance that would add more distortion to the feedback node if the clamp diodes weren't biased

Opamp's supply lead seems really can affect the opamp's performance. I found this article from Analog Device, AN-232 by Walt Jung. The supply bootstrapped towards output lowers the distortion. But why he only put it on negative supply, none in positive supply?

i wouldn't know for sure without looking at the internal circuits of the op amps, but it's possible that the neg side is bootstrapped because the input diff current sources and output (which may be class a instead of class ab) pulldown resistors are sourced from the negative rails. quite often the pos and neg rail PSRR on some op amps are very different.

Walt's negative supply bootstrap of the AD744 "cascodes" out the effect ot the input fet body-substrate capacitance which is nonlinear with input common mode voltage - and low noise fet input transistors can be large, the AD743 and OPA134 warn of this distortion source with higher source impedances:
(OPA134 datasheet)
For lowest distortion with a source or feedback network
which has an impedance greater than 2k[Ohm], the impedance
seen by the positive and negative inputs in noninverting
applications should be matched. The p-channel JFETs in the
FET input stage exhibit a varying input capacitance with
applied common-mode input voltage. In inverting configurations
the input does not vary with input voltage since the
inverting input is held at virtual ground. However, in
noninverting applications the inputs do vary, and the gate to-
source voltage is not constant. The effect is increased
distortion due to the varying capacitance for unmatched
source impedances greater than 2k[Ohm].
To maintain low distortion, match unbalanced source impedance
with appropriate values in the feedback network as
shown in Figure 3. Of course, the unbalanced impedance
may be from gain-setting resistors in the feedback path. If
the parallel combination of R1 and R2 is greater than 2k[Ohm], a
matching impedance on the noninverting input should be
used. As always, resistor values should be minimized to
reduce the effects of thermal noise."
the choice of rail is specific to this particular op amp, psrr can be very high as mentioned when the compensation/VAS is not referenced to this rail
since the VAS/gain/Miller comp is referenced to (the other) one of the supply rails you get major instability if you try to use the buffered output of the op amp to bootstrap away the effect of the compensation - by for instance bootstrapping both op amp supply pins:
I really need to finish up an article on these issues that has been lying around my computer for years now - by comming up with that ref it makes me worry that David's looking at my hard drive

Ripoff Report
Money Plus Saver8605 Santa Monica Blvd. #36370 Los Angeles, California USA
Money Plus Saver Money Plus Savor took money out of my account without authorization. I was simply browsing for a possible loan Los Angeles California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was simply browsingseveral days ago to see if I could get a possible loan and decided to exit out once I seen something about an $89 dollar optional "member service" or "membership order" for Money Saver Plus. I never gave them my account number/authorized anything at all. I found out today money saver plus took $89.00 out of my checking account yesterday 11/13/12, when I never "ordered" anything from them.
They say they will "cancel future charges, but must fill out a cancellation and refund form and send a copy of my bank account statement via fax or mail, showing their 89.00 charge". This is a scam! This company must be reported and eventuallly shut down.
Their so-called refund policy states "a full refund of your processing fee $89.00 will be made if a request is received within five days after the date that you receive your bank statement showing the processing fee of $89.00 being debited from your bank account." Then it continues by stating, " We will request a copy of your bank statement showing the deducted funds and bank statement date. Please allow up to thirty (30) days for any qualifying refund to be returned from the date we verify in our system that your payment was received by us".
Then it says, "No refund will be given for requests made beyond 5 days after the receipt of your bank statement or if you have received and actvated your membership." This is absolutely rediculous and wrong; they debited my account when I didn't authorize them to do so. I never joined their so-called "membership" and when I called them to demand a refund as nice as I could be, they were very rude and would not let me speak to a supervisor.
I called twice and the first time I was hung up on and the second time- same thing, same lies, and no supervisor to talk to. This company needs to be reported to the BBB as they are taking advantage of people by finding out their information somehow, so they can sell it to third parties. Please somebody do something about this company. I am also filing an afidavit with my bank as soon as possible, however, this scam doesn't need to happen again to anyone else.

When I hear elitist arguments akin to Ryan's, I can't help but think of the scene in Forrest Gump when all the kids keep saying "this seat's taken," when clearly there's room for a new person to sit down.
1. There's a weird grey area in friendship/acquaintanceship that is neither "nice person you barely know but see sometimes on Facebook" and "real friend you will make actual time to see/call/chat with." They're the people who you'll never actually forget…
I have tried my whole life to be invisible.
Maybe this will take her ego down a peg.
My boyfriend's fling is stalking me and putting my information up online.
I would actually argue that it's slactivism on an enormous scale because good mental feeling of moral and intellectual superiority from reading article after article confirming your existing worldview prevents people from feeling motivated to do any actual action that Jezebel might actually endorse.
The saddest part of it all is that most of these comments are prompted by someone else's attempt to create something new and beautiful, whether it be a love song or a great handmade drink.
What you'll do then, have your conquests read your beautiful fiction about making smoothies or your blog posts about 7 Things That Make You Realize You Are Not Quite An Adult But Almost And How You Are Falling Out Of Love With Her Because You Are Just Twenty After All. Have them read these crucial words in front of a camera
I don't regret filling in the blanks of my life with what unfolded on the internet. I actually regret not doing it more often.
The proudest moment of your life was when you gave someone else directions because a) someone finally recognized you as a native and b) you actually knew what you were doing.

Western North Carolina: Lexington & Around
Western Carolina BBQ, also known as Lexington-style after the city that popularized it, is squarely focused on wood-smoked pork shoulder, chopped or sliced. It's kept juicy and sweet with heavy applications of a ketchup-and-vinegar-based sauce, and often served in sandwiches topped with a finely minced cabbage slaw. Make sure to ask for some outside brown—the crunchy, caramelized bits from the outside of the shoulder—on your plate. In Lexington proper, off Highway 29-70, no-frills Lexington Barbecue has pitmasters who expertly smoke pork shoulder and little else; in Greensboro, Stamey's Old Fashioned Barbecue makes the best sandwich in town, topped with a pleasantly vinegary slaw and served on paper plates.

Anybody knows hot to stop the annoying skype update notifications?
There is no way I will do any upgrades, since skype has burned me in the past, so it would be nice to find out how to stop those...
*lights cigarette*
Try disabling the Update service.
Click Start >> Run >> Type services.msc /s
Right click on the Skype Updater and click on Properties and in the Startup type box select Disabled. Click Apply and OK.
Restart your PC.
Thank you! It really helped me.
you can use a personal firewall software to block skype update server
My Updater appears as Disabled now, but after restarting my computer the update popup still appeared!
.....oooo its very, very helps me ... thanks a millian..,.
I have the same. All is disabled, but everytime the pc starts, or at sign in, I get the window to "upgrade, it only takes a minute."
I am tired of it and I don't need it.
Anyone get this solved?
The Updater service does checks (and automatic updates) in the background. Disabling automatic updates in Tools -> Options stops this service, but does not disable it. You can disable the service via Start -> Run -> services.msc and finding the Skype Updater service.
You may also notice that everytime you start Skype there still remains a pop-up dialog box prompting you to install an update. This is because Skype had already downloaded a new version in the background and was waiting for you to install. This happened before you disabled the automatic updates and disabled the service.
To resolve go to Start -> Run -> c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp and look for SkypeSetup.exe. Delete this file. Exit Skype and re-launch it to verify this fixed the upgrade notifications.
I am still using Skype 6.9 due to the recent addition of ads. This process helps make sure I don't get upgraded unintentionally.

I went to the UPS convenient store at the mall at Remington and Kipling in Littleton, Colorado to mail a package. I asked the clerk to send it at the cheapeast possible price and also told him the content was BOOKS ONLY. He told me the charge would be $11.09. I told him I would have to pass and that it sounded high. He shrugged and said, "Sorry."
I took the same package to the post office and asked them also for the cheapest shipping possible. They charged me $6.09.
I knew the UPS convenience outlet would probably have an "up charge," or "service fee," but I had no idea that there would be a $5.00 diferrence.
Just want to get this out there so people realize the cost of doing business at their neighborhood UPS outlet.

Second, youre confusing delivery with cost. Sure you paid less at the post office, but you are going to wait a few extra days. Also its the USPS, you really feel your package is going to be safe even after ALL OF THE EXPOSES ON USPS WORKERS RIPPING OF PPLS PACKAGES. Really a little perspective goes a long way!!!

I think my cat is in shock because of her first trip to the vet, what do I do?
My new cat, Gypsie (a dark tabby with beautiful sea-green eyes), was totally feral when she wandered up. She was very small, with a hook in her tail that we'd always wondered about because it wasn't as it the tail had been chopped off; the bone was actually curled as if it had grown like that.
It took several months before she'd trust us, and by then we'd been feeding her for like 6 months so we figured she'd stay. So we took her to the vet and she was very good considering she'd been wild when she'd first come up. She didn't bite or scratch, just shivered a little bit.
But when we got home, she laid behind the couch (which is up against the wall) for about 18 hours. Since it was through the night, I don't know if she ate or drank in that time period. All I know is that until she had to go outside, she hadn't moved from what I could see.
Please let me know if she could be in shock or something....I don't want her hurt. Thank you!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
How long ago was the trip to the vet and did she have vaccinations? I would be concernd that she was having a reaction to the vaccines. Watch her to make sure she doesn't seem sick or lethargic. Other than that, I am sure she was stressed out from a car ride and having other people touch her if she was feral. If everything else seems normal, I would just work on regaining her trust. The vet is necessary and a little loss of trust may be the price you pay for taking good care of her. One of mine shivers the whole time we are at the vet and then hides from me for hours after. Some cats are just shy even though Bailey raised the same as my others.

Showbiz Sandbox 207: Which New TV Shows Are Hits? Ratings Alone Won't Tell You
September 30, 2013
The new television season got off to a strong start last week with major broadcast networks celebrating higher prime-time viewership. That is what initial ratings results would lead one to believe, though such figures are increasingly inaccurate. Delayed viewing on DVRs and online has made it more difficult than ever to properly measure viewership in a timely fashion.
Changes are also afoot at the Oscars as the Academy is modifying the way animated films are nominated for Best Animated Feature. Rather than rely on a selection committee, a majority of the organization's 6,000 members will now be able to participate in the nomination process by viewing films on screeners.
Meanwhile as the film industry moves from celluloid film to digital projection, object based audio is also being adopted over traditional channel based surround sound. Major studios recently made the issue more contentious by mandating any new audio be distributed in a common, non-proprietary format. Will this stifle future innovation in the cinema space?
Of course, we also cover the week's top entertainment news stories including why iTunes music purchases have started disappearing, Robocop returns to Detroit (literally) and "Star Wars" fans draft an open letter to director J.J. Abrams about how to make the franchise.

I'd never even heard of these books, but I can see how this collective misremembering might happen.You all had these books as kids, and sort of knew the name of the writer. Then as you got older you came across other Germanic names like Wittgenstein and Hammerstein and all of these ended in ...stein, not ...stain. So you subconsciously adjusted your childhood memory to fit your adult experience that "long German-sounding names always end in ...stein". I can even see how, even when you became a parent and bought the books for your kids, you'd already made the mental adjustment and still "saw" the name as ...stein. The brain makes all sorts of short cuts like this, and sometimes gets it wrong.
